He reâ€" ferred" to the motion passed at the Legion on Saturday night and said that thotiigh he had had the idea in mind before he had heard the Legion resolution, the thought behind both was the same-â€"to see that the men overseas did not lack for reinforceâ€" ments. The ‘use of the trained draftees seemed to be the only way to meet the need in time. The 1942 resolution callâ€" ed for total war and compulsory serâ€" vice, but only ih general terms while his resolution would urge a specific remedy for a present situat.ion There At the regular meting of the town council on Monday night, Counciuor E. W. Gladstone presented a motion by which the council would urge the Governmient to take immediate action to supply reinforcements to the men overseas by using the trained draftees now kept in Canada. On motion of Councillors Eyre and Spooner the 1942 resolution was reâ€" affirmed,copies ofâ€" it to be sent to the Government and the Federal member. Cound#llor Gladstone said he could ot vote on this resolution as it would be like voting against the one he subâ€" mitted. ~*"Have you a seconder for your reâ€" solution?" the mayor asked, and when Councillor Gladstone said he had not, Mayor Briumette pointed cut that the motion ‘under the rules had to have a secondér before it could be read and discussed. Councillor Eyre â€"suggested that it might, be well to have the map tion réad, with Countcillor Gladstone‘s explanation. Other counciliors: agreed and the motion was read. "We have a better one than that already on the there, and "Whereas Col. J. L Ralston former minister of .National Defence, Col. Drew, Major Con. Smythe and ochers, who have investigated the‘ matter closely, with both knowledge and ‘experience to guide them, believe that theâ€" only remedy is the use of the trained draftâ€" ed army, now held in Canada, and this view is strongly endorsed by the «Canâ€" adian Legion, whose services to Canaâ€" da in beace and in war allke have been outstanding, and books," said the mayor. Councillor Eyre said that in 1942 Councillor Bartleman had moved a motion and he had seâ€" conded it, calling for total compulsory service in the war effort. Members.of council suggested that th‘s resolution of 1942 went further than Councillor Gladstone‘s mo‘ion. and if it was re« affirmed that would fill the bill. > ‘ Councilior Gladstone said that there was compulory serviceâ€"now but not for overseas, and his resolutionâ€" was to overcome that point. . â€" Councillor Eyre said that Councillor Gladstone and Councillor Bonhomme were the only two members of the couâ€" neil who were not members when the "total war" resolution was passed in 1942. Town Clerk A. L. Shaw looked up the 19423 rmolution and it was read to council. "Whereas, the general opinion of the public, without regard.to political party affiliation, is along the same iines, and further believes that such action would stimulate recruting and thus hasten victofy-, now therefcre 3 "Be it resolved that this Council as a public and patriotic service urges the local member, and the Federal Governâ€" ment, to immediately make use of the standing and trained Home Defence Army as overseas reinforcements, and thus Tender immediate and forceful assistance to those trcbps that have been fighting overseas so. bravely ahd so long. and thus also add to natâ€" Councillor Eyre said he did not féel in position to judge the military leadâ€" ers, but he had his own ideas in the matter and he thought he went even further in some ways than Councillor Gladstone‘s motion, for he believed in "total war." Councilior Ellen Terry said that she was not agains Councillor Gladstone‘s motion,<but thought it would be better to reâ€"affirm the 1942 resolution. Motion to This Effect Fails to Find Seconder.

Polish Committee Granted Tag Day A number of recommendations were. ~made to council| by the .Timminsâ€"Genâ€" eral Workers Union, Peter Jeffry preâ€" sident. These included â€"44 hour week for town employees; time and a half for work on Sundays and holidays; minimum rates of 70c. per hour and $160 per month; no deduction for loss of time through illness unles;; it exâ€" ceeds 40 hours a year; promotion on seniori‘ty plan; repeal of the byâ€"law preventing departmental â€" employees from »taking part in municipal elecâ€" tions. The recommendations were reâ€" ferred to the public works department for cons‘deration. The Democratic Committee to aid Poland asked council to grant them a tag day as the need for funds to help the sadly suffering Polish people was so urgent. Councillor Eyre said that the cause was a very worthy one, butâ€" he could not recommend the granting of the request as the.council had kept to its plans of restricting the number of tag days. If the council decided to break the precedent in this case he would not ebject, however. Ccuncillor Spooner.thought it would be a mistake to break the rule now. Councilior ladstone thought that the cause was so worthy and so urgent that he favoured the of a tag day in this ease. Councillor Ellen Terry expressed a similar view. She thought the sufferings of Poland justâ€" ified even the creation of a precedent. A motion was passed to grant the tag day, Councillor Spooner being the only one to hold out against setting a preâ€" cedent. After approal by Councillor Spooner, counci} voted to renew the town‘s puâ€" blic liability insurance, with increases to $25,000 for an accident in which one person i;, involved; $50,000 <where: two or more are concerned; and $3,000 for damage to property.

The necessary byâ€"law will be prepared. The report of the Welfare Adminiâ€" strator was accepted. Councillor Glaâ€" destone explained that the adoption of the report wouldl mean that the Government would pay half the cost. This would mean a small saving to the town as the town had been providing relief on a higher standard than the new plan but the government had not been paying half the cost, part of the extra being paid by the town.

Once again Smodth Rock Falls heads the list for the percentage of quota. Val Gagne comes second and Moonâ€" beam third in this respect. The ayâ€" erage percentage of quota for all the centres in the unit is 119.5 Last week the Northern Telephone Co. invited the public to visit the Jloâ€" cal exchange and so get an inside view of the exchange and its equipment. Several hundred responded to the inâ€" vitation during the week and all were interested and pleased with what they saw. Last year nearly five hundréd people vis.ted the exchange during visiting week. This year no book or list of visitors was kept, but it sgems sure that there were as many, if not more visitors than last year. This year the greater /majority of the visitors were ladies and children, several school classes taking advantage of the opportunity to show pupils a very inâ€" teresting feature of modern life.
