Modesty And Charm Are Exemplified By Barbara Ann Scott If the marks of a truly great champâ€" lon are the sbility to wear the golden mantle of fame with modesty, sweetâ€" ness and a kindliness unsurpassed, coupled with the ability to stand up under jong arduous hours of physical and. mental strain, still smiling sweetly, then lovely Barbara Ann Scott, is a champion and bred without having to prove it. Tue:day evening the little Ottawa girl who became the first woman to win the coveted Lou Marsh trophy for being Canada‘s outstanding gift to the world of sports and the first perâ€" son from the western hemisphere even to win a wofld‘s skating champioxship sat in the comfortably furnished quarâ€" ters of the skating instructors‘ office and cheerily chatted with us. : Frocked in a beautiful skating cosâ€" tume of muted blue wool with a Swiss bonnet on her fair head, she was the most adorable, unaffected and charmâ€" ing celebrity it was ever our good forâ€" tune to see, "Barbara Ann" we queried, "tell us aâ€" bout your wonderful experience, your trip and what to you was the most pxciting occurrence in your life?" And Barbara Ann, whose life story reads like a. fairy tale, with eyes aglow told us "the winning of the world‘s champâ€" jonship." The next, we prompted, and the reply was "I really don‘t know, so many wonderful things have happenâ€" ed it would be difficult to say because everyone has been so kind and everyâ€" thing so interesting". Maybe it was the civic reception she received upon arriyal in her home city and again it could have been when she won the North American skating title a year ago, though, she wondered then, if maybe it wasn‘t Schumacher and the Porcupine Skating Club, but one thing certain she is glad to headline the ninth annual carnivel now in progress at McIntyre Arena, happy at meeting the many friends she made during her stay here last Summer and thrilled that her dreams have become realities.

And every year over 14,000 Canadians die from cancer. Dr. G. C. Armitage, president of the Porcupine Branch of the Canadian Cancer Society, gave an enlightening address on the start, spread, cure and prevention of cancer prior to the showâ€" ing of the film. "The cause of cancer is still unâ€" known," the Doctor said. "The start is usually apparent by unusual lumps i1 various parts of the body which are quite noticeable if external and by impediments in the functions of the body‘s organs if internal. There is never any pain suffered in the early stages. is really outlaw or unruly cells that do not function in a normal manner, thus causing a growth in the part of the body in whith it occurs.

Fay â€"Remains Chairman Public Relations Despite Requests Merchants Assn. â€" Council unanimodusly agreed that it would not ask councillor Philip Fay to resign as chairman of the public relations committee as requested by a letter from the Timimins Merchants Associaticn. Commenting on the request Mayor Brunette said, ‘"We‘re not sure that all the merchants are in agreement with this request, »d if the Merchants As« sociation were determined to have counâ€" cillor Fay removed as chairman of the public relations committee taney should have sont representatives to the counâ€" cil meceting to present their case." "We all make mistakes, depending on curâ€"point cf â€"view,"~counciliorChateauâ€" vert said. "And, in this case, I believe both sides may be partly in the wrong and that we should give consideraâ€" i tion to both parties by hearing their grievances. I think weée should refer this to another meeting." In defending his alleged attack on the Merchants Association, councillor Fay said, "Perhaps my English may have been bad in expressing myself at the meronants meeting, but I don‘t intend toâ€" apologize for anything_ I said. However, I believe the various groups in town should be organized, get together and settle any disagreeâ€" ments. And I think that any who is interested should support the Board of Trade." Councillor Bartleman said, "I think we would be ill advised to take another group‘s advice as to who we should appcint as chairmen of ourâ€"committees, Probably we‘d have a dozen people wanting me taken off as chairman of committees." 7 \_The Algonquin Regiment will hold | their second Reâ€"union on July 19th and 20th of this year during which | they will reâ€"dedicate Algonquin Bouleâ€" vard to their fallen comrades. . Special guests invited to attead will ‘ be Governorâ€"General Alexander, the Mimstex of National Defence. Premier 'Dlew and the‘ pnovineial Minister of | Highways. However, most of the councillors were of the opinion that the matter should be dealt with councillor Fay stating that he would much prefer that it be settled at once. The trouble began when Councillor Fay was invited to attend a meeting of the Merchants Association a couple of weeks ago, and according to the members of the Association, he failed to answer their questions, satisafactâ€" orily and later attacked tlhem as a body. They stated that the chairman of public relations is really a liason officer between different organizations and should promote goodwill, which, they said, councillor Fay did not do. Govâ€"Gen.

Civic Group Insuranse Plan Is Found HMegal The preseant Group Insurance Plan for civic employees, which wes institâ€" uted in 1945, has been found to be illegal, council were notified by Caldâ€" bick and Yates, town solicitors. â€" Under the Municipality Act there is no plan possible for the municipality to pay a share of the premâ€" iums which they have been doing since At the rete per thousand according to age, the employee has veen paying 70 cents ner month and the municipal- ity 94 cents. According to the solicitors the oaly solution open is for the town to raise the salaries of the town employees enough (94¢c) to make up for the town‘s contribution to the insurance, and then deduct it from the employecs‘ salary along with the 70 cents. However, legally, the town could not collect the 94 cents from the employ- Published in Timminhs.

The land will be paid for out of current revenue. | j This culminates a lawsulit against the town by Bannino snd Bartleman last year who stated that if the sewers which ‘passed through their land was not removed by February 15, 1947, suit against the town would be taken. However, as Mr. Bartleman was member of council in February 1947 it was impossible to enter into negSoâ€" tiations to purchase the land. Therveâ€" upon Bannino and Bartleman agreed to ‘defer their suit until Novem ber, 1947.

With almost every member taking part in ithe colorful display of artisâ€" try and talent, the carnival ran the gamut of emotions from ‘brilliant and beautiful group, pair and solo fanâ€" vasies to amusing skit presentations.

While municipal officials, club directâ€" ors and friends basked in her shadow, diminutive Barbara Ann, all starryâ€" eyed and smiling just said "Gee its great to come back here again, you don‘t know how I‘ve looked forward to this moment." After being smothered in welcomixng speeches and‘ friendly handshakes the crowds swept from the station platâ€" form and roads to make an impromptu parade, chanting all the while, "welâ€" come Barbara Ann and congratulaâ€" tions", and Barbara Ann grinned her infectious and ecstatic grin and blinkâ€" ed her laughing eyes and thrilled the crowd and did exactly what any nice young girl would do and said, "thank you, thank you sq much." She‘dida‘t do any of the things that might, perâ€" haps, have been expected of an 18 year old renowned personage, such things as being and acting high hat or ; archly surprised â€" she was just wholly and genuinely glad and humanly adâ€" mitted it at the reception accorded her.

Not quite three months ago, Barbara Ann â€"â€" everyone calls her hy both names â€" slipped quietly away from Canada‘s Capital to seek the highest hoxmors that the world holds for a figure skater. She was then the holdâ€" er of the North American Champlonâ€" ship, and no other holder of the that title from Canada had ever combined it with the world‘s greatest honor. A mere six weeks later, the little Otâ€" tawa girl had swept Europe‘s skating critics off their feet with her grace, precision and sparkling displays of enâ€" thusidsm hitherto unseen and unkown at Davos and Stockholim.
