Tag Day for the Same Good Cause at Schumacher Toâ€"day. Institute Doing Great Work to Help the Blind. Many Cases in This District. Need Greater than Ever for This Work on Account of the War and Other Causes. Published in Timmins. Ont.. Canada The special meeting of the town council on Friday afternoon last turned out to be a lively affair. One matâ€" ter for which it had been called was to pass a byâ€"law to rescind the preâ€" sent byâ€"law calling for the closing all drug stores at 8 pm. on ordinary nights‘and at 10 pm. on other nights, At last week‘s regular meeting of the council Mr. Dean Kester K. :C., told the council that the present byâ€"law was not supported by a majority of the drug stores in town when it was passed, only five drug stores asking for the repeal of the previous byâ€"law, while he repreâ€" sented six arug stores that did not want the present closing hours. At the meeting councillor Spooner brought up the point that six drug stores representâ€" ed by Mr. Kester meant only four drugâ€" gists and that the solicitor had said that in such cases it was the number of drugâ€" gists and not the number of stores that counted. Mr. Kester‘s reply was that all the stores he represented paid separate taxes on property and business and separate licenses to the town and. so should be considered a separate busiâ€" ness, At last week‘s meeting it appearâ€" ed that the petition in April, 1943 had ‘only asked for the repeal of the old byâ€" law and there was no petition for the hours. Mr. Kester said that while the council had power to pass such a byâ€"law without a petition signed by threeâ€" quarters of the stores in the line of business affected, to do so was decided discrimination â€" Council thought that Council Decides to Leave Byâ€"law for Early Closing of Drug Stores as It is Mr. W.

In the picture above, a patriotic young Canadian housewife is bundling up the waste paper from her house in preparation for the community‘s next collection. ® National Film Board Photograph TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 25TH, 1944 the byâ€"law had been passed in the usâ€" uall way and with a threeâ€"quarters petition and when the records seemed to lack a petition for the new hours the council thought it only fair to reâ€" cind the byâ€"law so that there would be no discrimination. : The byâ€"law to acâ€" complish this purpose was to be passed at last Friday‘s meeting. At the latter meeting, however, the drug stores in town in favour of the present byâ€"law were well represented. Mr. D B. Curâ€" tis was their spokesman, and he pointed out that the necessary petit;ioll or letâ€" ter asking for the present hours had been duly signed by the required numâ€" ber of stores. He said that to rescind the present byâ€"law was to deny maâ€" jority rule, If the stores objecting wished the repeal of the byâ€"law, let them submit the necessary petition for the change. Councillors Bonhomme and Spooner supported this view. Mr. F. M. Burke held that the old byâ€"law had been satisfactory to all and should not have been changed and that it was ncot convenient to the public to have the present hours of closing. Mr. M. B. Corman, viceâ€"president of Relail Merchant‘s Association, urged that the present byâ€"law be left as it is. He said that it had been passed at the request of a majority, and under demoâ€" cratic principles it should remain until a majority asked for its repeal. â€" Durâ€" ing the discussion, it developed that a letter sent by the Druggists‘ Associaâ€" tion had been mislaid or lost from the town files. After a general discusâ€" sion it was decided by council that the present byâ€"law should remain until there was a proper petition for its reâ€" peal, â€"In the meantime the town soliâ€" citor will be asked for his opinion as to whether in those cases where two stores are under the same ownership the maâ€" jority is to be reckoned on the number of "stores" or the number of individâ€" ual druggists owning stores, Timmins Proud of Smart Appearance of Sea Cadets Timmins had reason to be proud of the Sea Cadets here last night when they were inspected by Lieut.

No other candidate has been decided on, though there are several ready for the post, but some of these are not acceptable to the party and those who would be hailed with enthusiasm by the party are not ready to take on the task. There are few who have done more for the proâ€" gress of the C. C. F. cause in the disâ€" trict than Mr. Parker. He has been prominent since the organization here, and was until recently the president of the Timmins Club. For some time past, however, there has been dissatisfaction with him and groups have been apparâ€" ently working against him in the party. The meeting on Sunday was called to straighten the matter out, and the deâ€" cision of the meeting was that a new candidate should be secured.

Dr. MacLaren, mine doctor, was called and resuscitaâ€" tion efforts were made to revive the two men, but these were unavailing.

He was not injured, but Mrs. Brewer had one hand badly crushed and had to be taken to a doctor who found several stitches neâ€" cessary to close wounds ancl bruises on her hands.
