For, example, Friday, January 12th, 7th Timmins Troop visits the 8th The troops were lined up in readâ€" iness. Imagine the surprise when both troops went through Simpson‘s mill instead. Some of the boys comâ€" plained but the Mouter in charge said it was better that the Scout who won the cbadge should have, the fun (And what fun, Vigil had fiftyâ€"five boys). We wonder who suggested putâ€" ing Vigil through? Somebody said the main speaker missed the milling. The highlights of this test came when his troop all cheered as the reâ€" ward for the hard work. Two members one of the third and one of the seventh suggested that Vigil should be sent through the mill. Scout Vigil Simpson of the 3rd Troop was given a severe test on the pathâ€" finder badge. He passed with fiying colours. Congratulations, Vigil! Another talk followed on camping. The boys don‘t like spending all} day cooking meals. A motion was made and passed to have central ccoking at camp this summer. The highlight of the meeting. was open discussion on troop improvement. Several boys brought up the idea of improving> the uniform for the North country weather and now these two troops are adopting skis slacks as the official dress for the winter months. Troop leader Al McInms has now appointed himself official policeman and issues a summons if you don‘t run fast enough. Meeting opened with a real lively game and as usual we still have the "th Timmins Troom getting into into trouble with traffic, If you don‘t travel fast enough you will get run over and we don‘t mean maybe. Tw( accidents in â€"five minutes. â€" _ AS.M. Joseph Lucciantonio inspected the troop. A game of "Cranes and Crows" was played by the whole troop followed by life boats. Two new members were invested inâ€" to the troop, Jack Hasset and Louis Bendo, both of the Beaver Patrol. Rey.ort of the Sevepth Timmins TroOp Wednesday evening the 3rd and 7th Timmins Troop met together at the Hollinger Scout‘s Hall. As the 3rd visited the Legion Group the meeting was under the leadership of Scouter Wheeler. â€" ‘_Last weekâ€"end ‘the Moneta Troop went out for a Hike to Naybob Mine and from there to Reid Lake. Arrivâ€" ing there at 11.30 a.m. After much trouble getfting fires started they finâ€" ally made dinngér. In the afternoon the boys returned back to town at 6 pm., all tired out, The meeting of the Fifth Timmins Troop was held December 8th. The Owl Patrol broke the flag to start the meeting. y The chief contribution of the "B" Troop to the display, besides our handâ€" icraft will be the preparation of a full sized patrol camp. This camp will occupy a site 14 X 35 ft. and will include tent, cooking fires, and all the gadgets used by a patrol while at summer camp.

In practice, this has come to mean that the pensioner ‘may obâ€" tain the extension if his total income is not greater than a total, disability pension would be. However, if the pen» sioner‘s income is very much in excess of a total disability pension the Penâ€" sion Commis:ion does not generally allow an extension. The additional pension, of course, must be used in some way that is benâ€" eficial to the child and it is generally recognized as something that will allow the continuance of education. In cases where the child is unable to maintain itself because of physical or mental disability, it is also possible to have the pension extended. The procedure in applying for such a pension begins with the principal of the school, where the child is attend» ing, who must set out the progress of the child and whether or not the child‘s. scholastic standing is favourâ€" able, This form is then submitted to the Commission along and the extenâ€" sion of pension is ruled upon. In cases of invalidism, medical evidence is re. quired as to the health of the child. Many pensioned widows have found this benefit exceedingly helpful in having invalid children provided for, and securing educational advantages for especially bright children.

In the cas2 of Pirst Great War pensionâ€" ers, additional pension is only payab‘e for children born before May 1st, 1944, About Extension of Disabled Veterans Children‘s Penstons A skit entitled "Santa Claus‘"‘ was then presented by Harry Davidson‘s six and was enjoyed by all.s Players were Harry Davidson, Rilly â€"Hooper, Roy Toffanello, Lawrence Pecile, Beads won during November were then awarded.

There is often thoughtless comment suggesting that there are not encugh Jews in the armed forces of the United Nations in this war. Some people take the attitude that this is one war, in which the Jews should beâ€" particularly ready to serve. â€" To be honest about the matter that seems to be ‘the sattitude taken by the Jews themselves. Just to keep the record straight, it is well to bear in mind several facts. So far as Timmins is concerned, it may be said that there does not remain in Timâ€" mins a single Jew of military age and Among the local and personal items in The Advance twenty years ago were the following:â€" "BEight cars of freight were derailed on the T. and N. O. last woek. Traffic was tied up for several hours and the Continental was held about three hours late." "Mrs. P. T. Moisley is visiting relatives and friends in the South {or the Christmas holiâ€" days." "Mrs. F. L. Smith has returned to her home in Aurora aftér visiting her <son, Mr. W. G. Smith."

Announcement was made this week by the Prices Board that butter will be reduced from seven to about six j ounces per person each week, comâ€" ‘ mencing January 1, 1945. The reductions will be made affective by making butter ration coupons valid one at a time instead of in pairs and Bby having three of these coupons beâ€" ] come good each month inslead of four. To encourage householders to spread the reduced ration over the period of shortage, the butter coupons wili reâ€" main valid until declared invalid, as is the case with sugar and preserves coupons. 63â€"66 17â€"19 18â€"20 14â€"16 10â€"12 50â€"55 33â€"36 20â€"23 fitness who has not joined one or another of the services. ‘That is a recerd of which any people might be proud. Thoe national record is equally flatâ€" ering to the loyalty of the Jewish people. According to a report recently issued by the Canadian Jew‘sh Conâ€" gress, morse than 15,000 Jewish men and women are now serving in the Roval Canadian Air Force, with an«â€" other 500 in the Novy. The Jewish servicemen form 7.57 per cent. of the Canadian enlistments. Considering that the Jews form less than 1‘*4 per cent. of the entire ‘Canadian populaâ€" tionâ€"there are 168,000 Jews in all is a remarkable showing, as the Congress repcert suggests. The Jewish News of Detriot, Mich,, adds to the facts in the Congress reâ€" port these further items:â€"that more than 500,000 United States Jews are now in uniform; that millions of Jewâ€" ish people throughout the world have diéd at the hands of the Nazis; but that a million and a half Jews are now fighting with the United Nations to help rid the world of the Nazi scourge, Butter Ration Reduced From Eight to Six OQunces Officials said that butter production has been insufficient to keep pace with demand even under the rationing sysâ€" tem which first imposed a limit of eight ounces a person a week. The eightâ€"ounce ration was reduced to seven ounces to conserve supplies this year. The board said the step is being taken to adjust consumption to applies during the wintor months of low pro« duction. Orpit .. Ortona Hoyle N .. Hugh Mal Hugh Pp Kamlac Kayrnd Laguere . Lk Exp ..
