Lanceâ€"Bombardier Lainsbury was born and educated in Timmins and all friends will be interested in the above note of his travels while in the service of his country. A very interesting letter arrived this week in Timmins, the recipients being Mr. and Mrs. Lainsbury, of Balsam St. $. The letter was from their son, Lanceâ€"Bombardier Kenneth Lainsbury, who has been with the Royal Canadian Artillery for nearly three years, two of which were spent in England. The letâ€" ter tells of his arrival in North Africa. In part the letter says: "Arrived in this land of heat and sunshine. We are only two miles from the beautiful Medâ€" iterranean Sea. Watermelons, grapes, lemons and tomatoes are very plentiâ€" ful and quite a treat. There is also plenty of wine! The buildings here are all white and the palm trees and the scenery are very beautiful, but the natives are wild looking. Air Mail is the only means of communication.

Lack of colour, flavour and richness in fish can easily be supplied by garâ€" nishes and sauces, e.g. lemon, cucumâ€" bers, parsley, tartar, tomato or egg sauce. You should cook fish several different ways to add a variety to your menus, Fillets and small fish may be broiled or panâ€"broiled in‘oil or fat and basted during the cooking to prevent the fish drying out. Fish could be coated with bread crumbs and egg or corn meal and fried in fat at a temperature to prevent the fat soaking into the fish. Larger size fish may be stuffed and baked in a moderate oven, basting with melted fat, or salt pork or lean bacon placed on top of the fish will add richâ€" ness and fiavour. You could wrap fish to be boiled in cheese cloth to facilitate handling. «<« You probably have noticed that fish is never tough, this is due to the fact that there is no connecive tissue, as there is in meat. As a result you only cook fish to develop a flavour and change the texture. These facts should always be kept in mind when cooking fish, as prolonged cooking dries out the fish and spoils the flavourâ€"10 minutes per pound is sufficient. The locality and season influence the price of fish, so if you are not too Iar from where the fish are caught, you should buy fish every week when it is in season. In fresh fish the eyes should be full and bright, the gilly red, the flesh firm and elastic and there shoula be no disagreeable odour. Fish may be preserved by one of several methods o1 a combination of two or more e.g. freezing, salting, pickling, smoking ana canning. Meal planning is a necessity toâ€"day. To obtain the required amount of effiâ€" cient protein you should have your porâ€" tion of rationed meat 4 or 5 times a week and substitute a food containing efficient protein for the other 2 or 3 days.

Dye, Viceâ€"President Ontario Mining Association _ Magistrate A. Boily, of Rouyn, sitting in court at La Sarre, gave an examplary sentence to Leon Auger, convicted of failing to remain at the scene of an accident and neglecting to give aid to a man struck by his car. The sentence was the maximum permitted by the lawâ€"two years in the penitentiary. In passing sentence Magistrate Bofly pointed out that the sentence of two years in the peniteniary would serve to impress on all the seriousness of this type of offence and might have some weight in presenting the recurrence of similar offences. The accident that reâ€" sulted in the charge against Auger ocâ€" curred at Duparquet on June 19th.. Jean Lamarre was passing by on his bicycle when he struck by Auger‘s auâ€" tomobile. The driver went right on without stopping to lend any assistance to the victim, and did not even take any steps to see whether the cyclist was hurt or not. Following a police investiâ€". gation, Auger was arrested. In view of the fact that it was his third such ofâ€" fence and that he had not stopped to investigate the extent of the victim‘g injuries or to give what help he could, to the injured man, Auger was given the maximum sentence provided by the law.

A campaign has alâ€" 'ready been started to educate Britons ‘in the important new idea that they must not only keep their own families warm, fed, and clothed but must help | warm, feed and clothe strangers they‘ll i never meet in towns and villf{ges that they will probably never see. It was reâ€" cently announced that 50,000 tons of British coal a week would have to be shipped to Sicily and that the public would have to do with less chocolate since most of the supply was being earmarked for occupied Europe against the day the great handout begins." This is the kind of statement about Britain which must strike to the heart of every Canadian. What a people they are! Their own privations are known to us and put before us an example we should strive to emulate. "If Britons do such and so let Canadians at least buy War Bonds," we are told. Yet the Britons reach out and feed Europe from their already thinly spread raâ€" tions. We trust that Canadian aulthorâ€" ities are mindful of these secrifices and that Britain‘s supplies will in turn Le strenzgthened by help Iivin (From Ottawa Journal) Reporting that Britons‘ thoughts are now turning to the gloomy prospects of a Winter short of fuel, the New Yorker‘s London correspondent writes this arâ€" resting paragraph: War days are too often the time of partings for members of a family, but recently they saw the reâ€"union of two brothers who had not seen each other for fortyâ€"three years, and then in South Africa durmg the war there. The broâ€" thers are John Gold, of Haileybury, and Frank Gold, for the past fourteen years a resident of Toronto. They were natives of Great Britain and both serâ€" ved in the South African, war,; seeing each other in South in 1900; After that war John Gold:came to.Canâ€" ada ‘and his brother ‘retutrned ‘to} Britâ€" ain. ~Both ‘the brothers served in the last war, but were not able to meet during that conflict. Early in the last war Frank Gold was taken prisoner and spent three years in a German prison camp. The war was over some months before he returned to his native land, and in the meantime John Gold had returned to Canada. In recent years John Gold knew that his brother, Frank, had also come to Canada, but had never been able to locate him on any of his occasional visits to Toronto, however, John Gold made a very deâ€" termined effort to locate his brother, Frank, and through information seâ€" cured from the Government departâ€" ments at Queen‘s Park the reâ€"union was made possible. On his return to Haileybury, John Gold told The Hailâ€" eyburian they certainly had a grand reâ€"union, and that he also met a niece, Miss Kitty Gold, daughter of a younger brother. He had last seen her some twentyâ€"six years ago, shortly after the last war.

Brothers Who Fought in T‘wo Wars Meet Again After 43 Years Tisdale towushty also had a number of resolutions all duly passed by the meeting. some of these resolutions were presented anud explatmed by Clerk P. Yet another resolution from Timmins, duly passed like the others, was to the effect that the provincial government amend the Municipal Act to permit the setting up of reserves for specified purâ€" poses, and that the use or depletion of such reserve funds should not be legal by future councils without the express approval of the Ontario Municipal Deâ€" vartnent. Still another it would be a concetned if a cil were comn fidavits, by vir A third resolution as ion be made for the se ment notices by ordina of registered mail. T resolution calling for p sending of notices of t peal on the assessmer business by ordinary m Another urged the government to assume a larger share of the cost of both primary and secondary education. There was a deplorable condition in regard to school facilities in some of the rural areas. On the suggestion of Reeve Shipley, of Teck, there is to be a central comâ€" mittee to study postâ€"war conditions and the best methods to meet them, while each municipality is to have a commitâ€" tee of its own named by the mayor, or reeve, and council, and to consist of two to represent farming, two for lumâ€" bering and puip and paper, two for mining, two for business interests and two for the Canadian Legion Counâ€" cillor Ames, of Kirkland Lake, urged that organized labour should be recâ€" ognized on these committees. Reeve Shipley pointed out the difficulty of choosing what was "organized labour‘"‘ from the several unions now in the North. Councillor Bromley, of Whitâ€" ney, noted:that there was no organized labour in that township. Eventually it was agreed that in each of the cases of the representatives of mining, lumberâ€" ing and farming, one,. representative should be for management and one for labour, organized or unorganized, as the case might be, the head of the municiâ€" pality and. the council deciding. on the personnel of the committee. ~Clérk. McBain, of Kukland Lake, reâ€" pdrtéd on the matter of depreciation allowed under the income tax rlules in regard to property under rental. It was felt that the present setâ€"up was not equitable. A depreciation of 2% per cent. was allowed on frame houses, 5 per cent. on brick houses, while 15 per cent. was allowed on mining propâ€" erty. It was felt that in mining towns the depreciation on houses should be closer to that on mining property, as town houses depended for their value on the life of the mines. ‘Councillor McGuire, of Kirkland Lake, suggested that the resolution should be extended to houses occupied by the owners, but this was not considered desirable as owners did not pay income tax on the houses they occupied solely for their own use. A number of resolutions were subâ€" mitted by each of the four municipalâ€" ities, the most of these being passed by the meeting and will be submitted to the meeting of the Ontario Municipal Association this month for approval. Some of the resolutions are also to be taken up with the Ontario Government and the Federal authorities. Councillor spooner, with assistance on occasion from Mayor Brunette preâ€" sented a number of resolutions from the. town of Timmins. q One of these provided for revision of municipal voters‘ lists up to the day before nominations. At a regular meeting on Monday evâ€" ening in the town hall, Timmins, the | Association of Northern Mining Municâ€" ipalities (Timmins, Teck, Tisdale and Whitney) passed a large number of resâ€" olutions that will be presented both to the Ontario Municipal Association and to the Ontario Government. These resolutions dealt with silicosis, tuberâ€" culosis, taxation, election procedure, appointment of justices of the peace, payment for sanatorium cases, assessâ€" ment, post war conditions and a numâ€" ber of other questions, all of interest and importance to the North and its people. Mrs. Ann Shipley, reeve of Teck township, was in the chair, and carried through the difficult work of presiding over such a meeting, with efficiency and promptness. Despite this efficiency, however, the meeting lasted fully three hours. After the meeting there was a more sociable hour or two at the Empire Grill where the visitors from outâ€"ofâ€" town were the guests of Timmins Counâ€" cil. The four member councils were all well represented at the meeting with the reeves of the three townships and the mayor of Timmins and several councillors from each municiâ€" pality present, as well as clerks, treasâ€" urers, assessors and other municipal ofâ€" ficials.

The Timmins Citizens‘ Band held its annual picnic last Sunday at the Buffalo Ankerite grounds. A good time was had by all, There were races for all. The big feature of the afternoon were two softball games between the married men and the single and also a challenge from the St. John Ambulâ€" ance who were also enjoying a plicnic. The single men tied up the game in the last innings. Received Pilot‘s Wings at Uplands, Ottawa Last Week Featured _ by Softball Games Timmins Citizens‘ Band Picnic Agam Pleasant Success Whitney urged that licenses for autâ€" os and drivers be available at all munâ€" icipal offices, instead of at certain faâ€" voured spots as at present. Councillor Bromley explained that at present in his township motorists have to drive to Iroquois Falls of Timmins for these licenses, thus losing time, tires and gasoline. The meeting endorsed the resolution, the licenses to be obtainable from the municipal license office. Kirkland Lake‘s resolutions were ably presented by Councillor M. T. MeGuire. They dealt with needed improvements in the Workmen‘s Compensation Act and the composition of the Board. Councillor Ames, of Kirkland Lake, urâ€" ged that organized labour should be represented on the Workmen‘s Comâ€" pensation Board. Further reference to this matter is made elswhere in this The second Whitney resolution asked that the income tax act be amended so that members of council could deduct election expenses from â€"council fees. Councillor McGuire thought this might prove unfaxr to candidates who did not incur heavy election expenses. He said he kept his own election expenses down to $25.00. Others present claimed that their election expenses did not exceed $40.00. Councillor Malkin, of Tisdale raised a laugh by telling about one local newspaper that offered him guaranteed election if he would put up $90.00 "I did not put up any such sum," he said, "for two reasons â€" I didn‘t want to spend that amount, and I didn‘t have that amount to spend for such a purâ€" pose." 188U Some of the resolutions by Tisdale sought to keep politics out of affairs. One of these suggested that clerks of municipalities prepare lists of suitable persons to act as deputy returning ofâ€" ficers and poll clerks and that the Domâ€" inion and province select from this list. Too often, through politics, very inâ€" competent or unsuitable persons were placed in these positions. Whitney township resolutions were presented by Councillor Bromley. The first one recommended that reforestaâ€" tion be one of the special postâ€"war enâ€" terprises. To this was added industries allied to forest products and to plastics, as suggested by Reeve Shipliey, of Teck. Another request was that clerks of municipalities be Justices of th* Peace by virtue of their office. Councillor McGuire suggested that some of these resolutions were going far afield and he thought the association should stick more closely to municipal affairs. Still another dealt with the readjustâ€" ment of mine taxation as between Domâ€" inion, province and municipality, to give the municipalities a fair deal. There was a general feeling that the better form of plan would be for the municipality to be given the right of taxation over mines as in other inâ€" dustries or business, with the Dominion or province giving any subsidy that might be considered right to the inâ€" dustry. On the plea that the township or town was the one chiefly concerned, one resolution asked that provincial licenses for clubs should not be granted without the approval of the police of the municipality concerned; while anâ€" other resolution suggested that the municipality have some consideration in the matter of beverage room licenses. Tisdale also asked that some relief be granted municipalities in the case of patients returned from sanitariums. One of these asked for an increase in the amounts that could be paid in towns and townships to the heads of municâ€" ipalities, while another referred to travâ€" elling expenses allowed. It was pointâ€" ed out that conditions in this North made the present limits inadequate. Murphy and others by Reeve V. H Evans, Single Copyâ€"Five Cents Interesting
