Nursing Delegates To Meet Saturday The council on Wednesday received a letter from the Planning and Deâ€" velopment Board re a proposed Del Villano subdivision. In view of the council‘s action in passing a zoning byâ€"law, the Board intimated that it would hold up approval of the proâ€" posed subdivision until the council had given its okay to the plan. "About fifty cents," was the apâ€" praisal. ' Council‘s O.K. Asked For Subdivision Plans "Madame!" she answered in surâ€" prise. s At another booth a slight lady fingered a blue taffeta evening gown with appreciative fingers. The lines of the gown were perfect to be sure and the condition of the cloth was beyond reproach. The price was $1. The gown was accepted but taken to a booth at the opposite side of the puilding. "How much would you say this was worth?" the little lady asked of the salesgirl. Now doubtless it would catch the eye cof many, you would say, but the first eve was the last and the trunk was whisked away on another journey following a payment of 35c. "That is not the spirit of the rumâ€" mage sale," was the firmâ€"toned obâ€" servation. And in the wake of the whisk were cffers, above and below the price bid, for as crisp a set of curtains as ever graced a window. But the calibre of the bidding was lost to the ear as an observation was made of the trusting little old ladyv, who perhaps had known the lace and lavender era, inquiring the price of the hangers, now unemâ€" ployed, near the end of the sale. Not; to be thwarted, the buyer raised a wellâ€"groomed brow. And on it was, for the public conâ€" cept of the sale was that Market place on Saturday concluded with the sale of meat.

After due deliberation of the price tag, 2¢, there was conversation. 'give you one cent for it," said the customer to the pretty counter girl who received the offer in amazement. The Saturday morning sun poked through the barred window of theold Timmins Market place and cast on a brilliant reflection against the old aluminum pot, sending shiny, metallic fingers through the cool cement atmosâ€" ‘phere of the Market place.

Cancer Group Asks $700 Authorized as second class mail, Post Office Department, Oltawa Blame For 1946 Tax Rate Not Entirely Council‘s, Is Taxpayers‘ Contention "The council are not entirely reâ€" sponsible," Mr. Wheeler declared. Each councillor, he intimated, bore a part of the responsibility, as did the Mayor. So did the council as a whole. "I am under the impression that most of the money spent in this town is spent by the schcol boards," ho stated "Generally speaking, we have to pay the money the school board asks for. I urge the â€" electors not to worry so much about the councxl. as about getting school trustees who will study economy and keep costs down to bedâ€"rock. S. C. Wheeler, who has gained conâ€" siderable renown for his observations on the weather, seems likely to add further laurels to his name as a reâ€" sult of his appearance before the town council of Timmins yesterday. To the council, Mr. Wheeler is a man of unusual quality â€"â€" he is the first person they have listened to this year who does not consider them enâ€" tirely responsible for the 1946 tax rate. "But there are other bodies which are responsible" said Mr. Wheeler. ‘"Most people go to the polls with their heads full of the, candidates‘ promises, but they forget about the school trusâ€" tees. "But the council is responsible in some respects," Mr. Wheeler said. "Too much money is wasted in social serâ€" vices. Bodies such as the Timmins Band and the Horticultural Society come to the council for donations. Some of us are of the opinion that these people should raise the money themselves, like the service clubs." Mr. Whecler© then spoke of the building which is used by the town as a skating arena during the cold months "The man who built this arena some years ago found he had a white cleâ€" phant on his hands," Mr. Wheeler said. â€" "Now every year the. council pays his taxes and pays a huge rental for the use of his rink in the winter." Legality of 1946 Tax Rate "The council says this is to help preâ€" vent juvenile delinquency," he stated. "Not only does it not prevent juvenile delinguency, but it contributes to it." "There are other things. such as attendance at â€" convent‘ons,‘" Mr. Wheeler contended. "In the past five or six years, too many people are g0oâ€" ing here and there, and having a cheap holiday at the town‘s expense." "I read an article in The Porcupine Advance some time ago, by G. A. Macdonald, an old friend of all of us. He ‘said no one would object to payâ€" ing taxes, as long as they got good "When councillors are elected they make all kinds of promises which apâ€" parently they forget when they are seated at the council table," he said. The town did not get its money‘s worth out of such trips, Mr. Wheeler claimed, although he admitted the value of Town Clrek A. L. Shaw‘s reâ€" cent attendance at the convention in Toronto, where mining taxation was discussed. He was not complairing about the assessment, Mr. Wheeler clai'med,, and he realized rates had to be paid. "If any member of council would like to come and see me I would be glad to talk things over and ‘tell you what the rateâ€"payers are thinking." Mr. Wheeler offered, stating that it was his belief that the councillors were too much out of touch with what the ratepayers were thinking. "I hope members of this and future councils will not try to think of how much they can spend, but of how much they can save. If they would do this we would not have such high taxes. "Are you aware that you cannot raise the amount of taxes more than 25 per cent over the previous year without the permission of the Dntario Municipal Board?" he asked. "If you do this, you are entirely out of order." value for théir money. Then Mr. Wheeler sprung his quesâ€" tion : Health Minister, Russell T. Kelley, Provincial Chairman for the National Clothing Collection, appealed this week to every one of Ontario‘s four milllon men, woemen and children to start savâ€" ing ‘their clothing and bedding for next month‘s campaign. The drive, scheduled for June 17 to 29 inclusive, is being sponsored by the Canadian Allied Relief Fund to aid the destiâ€" tute in Alliedâ€" countries, principally Europe. "Here, in a nutshell, is why we must have the help of everyone in this Proâ€" vince," Mr. Kelley said in h‘is stateâ€" ment. "Unless Canadians and others of the world‘s more fortunate popuâ€" lations contribute at least one garâ€" ment per person, more than 130 million people, including 25 million children, face death from cold and exposure next winter. Those are staggering figures and they are accurate for they are the conservative estimates of interâ€" national relief agencies." Sponsor Clothing Drive In June To Aid Sufferers In Europe W heelâ€" Fire Chief William Stanley has reâ€" cently returned from Toronto where he attended a training course for Fire Chiefs held in coâ€"operation with the Fire Marshal‘s office and the Doâ€" minion Association of Fire Chiefs. Major Knaap, who went overseas with the First Division as an auxiliary services worker, will also address the Red Shield Women‘s Auxiliary at a special meeting on Monday night in the Salvation Army Hall. The course, anâ€" extension of the University of Toronto, covered every field of firefighting, the chief stated, and wes very well attended. The police safety check on cars and trucks of the district has disclosed a number of cars with defective brakes and lights. Major C. Knapp Will Speak Here On Sunday At the Sunday services on,May 26, at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m,. at the Salvation Army Hall. special guests will be Major and Mrs. C. Knaap, and Captain Trunks. Acting Police Chief Albert Lepic stated this week that about 80‘% of the vehicles checked have been found with defects. Trucks are the worst offenders, it is stated, and a number of vehicles have been found with dirty license markers thus making their license numbers hard to discern. ; Police officers state, however, that the public are being most coâ€"operative, "We will ask Mr. Shaw to answer that question,." Mavor J. Emile Brunette stated.. "But before he dces, I would like to thank you for coming here and warning the people about the imporâ€" rance of the council and the school board." ¢ Car Defects Shown By Police Checks Fire Chief Returns From Toronto Course "I think before you start collecting these taxes, you should make sure that what you do is legal," warned Mr. Wheeler, and on this ominous note, he took his seat. "I believe that in respect to the amount of taxes which it is possible to levy, Mr. Wheeler has been misléad," stated A. L. Shaw, Town Clerk, Treaâ€" surer and troubleâ€"shooter, said. "While the tax rate the council may levy for general purposes is 25 mills, if council requires more, it can levy for it, Half the municipalities in Ontario have rates of 25 mills or over for general nurpases." "I differ with Mr. Shaw," he stated. "You cannot go above 27 mills unless it is with the permijssion of the Muniâ€" cipal Board, and then only for debts already incurred." "This act is important," Mr. Bartleâ€" man contended. "The Municipal Board doesn‘t thinlk so," commented Mayor Brunette. "I don‘t think you can collect these taxes," Mr. Wheeler declared. "You are doing something that is not legal and if you are not very careful, you will not be able to collect the taxes at all â€"â€" in which case you will have to borrow money and pay‘ interest on it, ard the ratepayvers would have to pay double taxes next year." "I thin‘k there is a little misunderâ€" standing," Mr. Shaw declared. "We can levy for 25 mills for general putâ€" poses plus two mills for hospitals, and there are certain other exceptions. But the act to which you refer is actually a dead issue. In 17 of the past 20 vears, the council has exceeded this figure." At this point J. P. Bartleman, a former mayor, got to his feet. * "Then the Municipal Board does know the law," Mr. Bartleman said. The council then proceeded with the next item on the agenda. The Minister explained that all kinds of used, serviceable clothing are reâ€" quired. These include, suits, overcoats, uniforms, work clothes for men and boys, infants‘ clothes of all types, coats, dresses, aprons and smocks for girls and women, shoes in pairs (tied seâ€" curely with string), caps, felt hats, knitted headwear, gloves, woolen socks, underâ€"clothing, plece goods. blankets, sheets and linen, draperies and remâ€" nants. Mr. Kolley added that all washable garmonts and goods should be washed but need not be ironed.. Other garâ€" tnents need. not be _ dryâ€"cleaned. Clothes without buttons are acceptable, as suppliecs of buttons are now moving irnto lands where the clothing will bo worn. Items which cannot be baled s swh as straw hats, feather ticks, pilâ€" lows and mattresses â€" should not by given. e ____‘A_._-_‘_..fli Single Copyâ€"Five Cents:
