c 6Â¥ w ie . CHANGE OF â€" i TIMETABLE # 4 MWP M M 26 Much of the evidence brought out at the enguiry conducted by Armand Racine into T. N.O. affairs ten years ago left an impression unfavorable to the railway and that may have had a tendency to be prejudicial to the North Land and its future development. The many references to the cost of the railway, the suggestion that there had been a deficit each year, and other points that seemed toâ€"be stresued in one way or another at the enquiry, had left the T. N.O. open to misjudgment as to its value not only to the North but to all Ontario. A volunteer witness however, proved very thoroughly and conclusively that the T. N.O. Rail« mway had a real value to Ontario as A whole, entirely apart from any Ooperâ€" ating profit. This: volunteer witnesss was E. L. Longmore former mayor of Timmins, and for over twenty. years active and prominent in the life of the North. Mr. Longmore made it plain that the North was favourably dispoted to any enquiry or effort that would increase the efficiency of the T. N.O., effect any ecanamy, or remove any faults that might have figured in the At special meeting of the town council held ten years ago to deal with the matter of the applications asked for the position of fire chief for the town of Timmins.

The motion was carried, J. P. Bartleman asking to be rercoded as voling against the motion. admmumuon or operauon of thee railway,. but that the point should not be overlooked that the greatest value of the T. N.O. was its certain conâ€" tribution to the benefit of the North and to the advantace of the North as a whole.

Lang, one ‘of© the popular business men of the town, was rather badly injured in a car accident ten years ago but was able to come home from the hospital shortly afterwards and made the best of progress toâ€"reâ€" covery at his home. Mr. Lang had been in Kirkland Lake and was driving home to Timmins with George Humphries and Ken Newton who were coming home from Kirkland Lake for the wekâ€"end. Mr. Humphries was driving the car. The washboard conâ€" dition of the road together with a foggy condition of the weather made driving difficult, the depressions in the road being difficult to note on account of the weather conditions. The car was proceeding at about twenty miles per hour when a little .north of Monteith the front wheel struck one of the washboard hollows and crashed for the ditch, the cah turned over on its side in the ditch. The two in the front seat escaped injury but Mr. Lang in the back was thrown with much force and his forehead struck the inâ€" side handle of the door.

It is well to know that Canada‘s greatest source of crude oil, the Alberta Turner Valley field is producing 4000 barrels less daily than a year ago. Sixty per cent of our imported‘ crude oil has to come by ocean tanker. The needs of aviation gas, for example, jumped â€" from 5.5 million gallons in ‘1939 to 176 million gallons for the year ending March, 1944. Our Royal Canadian Navy uses 2 million gallonsi of oil a week; it takes 10,000 gallons to move an armoured corps five miles, and on top of this, just realize the needs of industray and agriculture; truly a staggering amount when totalled.

Sudbury is a long distance from Timmins and the comrades of Branch 888 are very much in favour of splitting the district so that (District Command will be more localized. The ‘coft of sending delegates to Sudbury is almost prohibitive except for urgent reasons. Splitting the district is one of the issues to be raised at the Disâ€" trict Meeting and it is very important that this branch be properly representâ€" ed. To relieve the branch of this exâ€" penditure Comrades Quinn and Mcâ€" Dowell stepped into the .breach and very kindly vountered to represent the branch at their own expense entirely.

However, when the driver of the car looked {for the injured animal after the car was brought to a stop following the collisâ€" jon, he was unable to catch eveh a glimpse of the deer so swiftly did it make for the cover of the neighbourâ€" ing woods.

T. Reed of provincial police headquart.em ‘here was unable to avoid hitting the animal, and the result was a badly damaged car and considerable delay before the serâ€" geant could complete the trip home, The° animal disappeared before the driver could bring the vehicle to stop and could not be found, but Mr. Reed said it must have been badly injured. "The impact bent the left front fendâ€" er of the car and drove the mudguard gaown on the tire breaking the headâ€" light, and it took considerable time beâ€" fore the vehicle was fit to be driven. Some help was secured from passing motorists and the damaged mudguard was pried clear of the tire but the trip home had to be made at slow speed. With Sergt. Reed were Mrs. Reed and their two boys and Mirs. G. McKay of Toronto, an aunt of Mrs. Reed whom they met in North Bay on a trip to Haileybury.
