Councillor Eyre called attention to the fact that the District of Cochrane‘s Firemen‘s Association convention would be held on Sept. 20th and 21st. There would be several prominent speakers on fire prevention topics, as well as many discussions and demonstrations. He thought it would be a profitable thing to have the fire chief attend this conâ€" vention. The council authorized Pire Chief Stanley and Councillor Eyre to attend the convention, Councillor Eyre being the dhairman of the fire and light committee.

No. 36 Timmins Celebrates Fall of Italy The other fire calls that day were all for chimney and pipe fires, except one where some person just thought there was a chimney fire. After marching around the town with crowds watching the parade and joining in it also despite the rain, the parade went to the old athletic grounds, corner of Cedar and Second avenue and on this vacant lot an effigy of Beâ€" nito Mussolini was burned with due ceremony. This effigy had been carried throughout the parade around the town. @pecial thanks are deserved by the management of the Preston East Dome for the loan of Mr. Davis to see to the proper presentation of Mussolini in efiigy. Credit is also due to the other workers whose skillful organizing made the parade possible under such shor, notice. Another Service Given by Timmins Fire Fighters This Time. .It‘s Lady Safely Home When Locked Out. There doesn‘t seem to be any limit to the forms of service given by the Timmins fire brigade. Tuesday they had a call to a house on central Third avenue at 6.50 p.m. and when they reached the spot they found there was no fire to put out in the house, but the lady of the house was out of the house and wanted to get in, and the key was inside. A fireman made entry through a window and opened the door, and that was service. All the firemen said (for publication) was, "That makes the sixth call for the brigade toâ€"day." There was another call on Sunday. It was to 51 Cherry street at 1:32 p.m. A Chesterfield was smocouldering and smoking, but a pail of water administâ€" ered by the firemen stopped all but the smoke. There was no damage except to the Chsterfleld which was injured by the fire to the extent of some $40.00, with no insurance,. The Air Cadets have made remarkâ€" able growth and progress here but are anxious for each greater advancement. They are keeping constantly before themselves and the public the motto they have adopted:â€" "Join the Air Cadets! Train toâ€"day to fly toâ€"morâ€" row!|" 4 It was sponsored by the town but all crganizations and individuals gave very hearty support.. . Equally remarkable was the fact that crowds of literally thousands lined the line of march of the parade and watched and cheered as the ‘"troops‘"‘ went by, despite the showers of rain that failed to dampen enthusiasm. Timmins last night celebrated the unconditional surrender of Italy by a parade and the burning of Benito in effigy. The parade was a remarkable one in view of the fact that it was orâ€" ganized and arranged in a few hours. Marshal George Nippers was in charge of the parade, which is equivaâ€" lent to saying that it was well handled. There were two bands in the paradeâ€" the Timmins Citizens‘ Band and the Timmins Boys‘ Bugle Band. The parâ€" ade included the Air Cadets, the Sea Cadets, the Algonquin Regt., the Timâ€" mnins Branch of the Canadian Legion, the Ladies‘ Auxiliary, the AR.P. workâ€" ers, police, firemen, New Canadian Naâ€" +ional Societies and others. The parade carried a large number of flags with the British flag naturally predominating. Published in Timmins. Ont..

Yesterday‘s spot news was that the Italians had made unconditional surâ€" render and that an armistice had been declared between Italy and the Allied Nations. The German troops in Italy had gone to the north and were expectâ€" ed to make a stand there. The armisâ€" tice was signed between Badoglio‘s govâ€" ernment and the Allies. The agreeâ€" ment was approved by Britain, the U. S. and Russia before it was signed.

The report is that the Italian troops have occupied the Brenner Pass and so cut off around 300,000 Germans said to be in Italy at the present time. General Dwight Eisenhower, in North Africa has announced that Allied trocps have landed in the City of Naples in the very heart of Italy. There are also unofficial reports of landings at Naples, Genoa, and on the Island of Sardinia.

The Swiss reports give the forces as part of the American ith Army. R.AF. bombers were over German held Europe again last night.

In a very interesting and informaâ€" tive address at the Kiwanis Club meetâ€" ing at the Empire hotel on Tuesday, Mr. C.. G. Kemsley, of the Dome Mines, gave a striking review of the wartimes activities of the Mines Shops Associaâ€" tion. This association inclu«ies all the mines in the North that are able to lend their machine shops for wartime work. The work done, Mr. Kemsley said, was chiefly for Naval and cargo ships. The association was not formed until 1941. In that year, it did only some $15,000 worth of work for war uses. In 1942 there was $400,000 worth of such work done, and this year it is expected that over $1,000,000 work will be completed. The quality of the work is one of the special features, good equipment and good men being used to the best adâ€" vantage. The plan had certainly proved a very valuable one in the war effort and Mr. Kemsley emphasized the fact that credit should go to the men as well as to the mines for the successful work performed, The speaker for the day was introducâ€" ed by Kiwanian H. G. Laidlaw, and the sincere thanks of the club for a very valuable address was extended by Kiâ€" wanian Barney Quinn.
