Another factor, over which no one has any control, swung our way last year too, and that was that we weret just at the peak of our condition when! we hit the playâ€"offs."

On the Red side of the ledger: Mr. Kennedy doesn‘t like things we write aâ€" bout him. _ He doesn‘t like it when we jab him with quills and say that he must be a communist because of the company he keeps.

This was amazing after the many flattering things which Henri said about Timmins artists and the way he workâ€" ed to impress on them the art of living. A connoisseur of wine, (he likes all good wines) women (he likes all beautiful women) song (he thinks Jan Pearce metallic voiced, likes Bjoerling and Tagliavini) Henri Masson who has a voice which sounds very much like Charles Boyer is a fine artist in his own right and an excellent teacher. He liked Timmins, he said. He liked it for its earthiness and its subtle vulâ€" garity. _ "I do not like vulgarityâ€"â€"but subtle vulgarity is another thing."*‘ One thing which seemed to stick out in his memory, something which he seemed unable to forget, was the impression which he got on his trip down the shaft of the Dome Mine. "How those fellows can work down in the noise and rock dust," he said, "I cannot understand. It is very sad." Henri was also impressed with the turnouts he got to his art classes. And he was impressed with the amount of talent in the area. â€" "You are isolated here," he told the art class on Thursday evening. "It is hard to keep interest‘ up when you are not in direct contact with other artists and see what they are mt 2l «un 2 Throwing Quilis had some bouquets thrown at it last week and the comments were varied. .

It seems a shame to have the regular taxpayers subsidizing the rest all the time." "This means we can send a letter to tenants telling them to pay their rent to the town instead of the landlord in cases where the landlord has not paid his taxes," Mr. Salomaa said. He has already turned over all the unpaid tax accounts to the town solicitors for any action they dee mnecessary. . town had been as lenient in the matâ€" According to Vic Salomaa, town clerk, about 20 per cent of the 1949 levy is delingquent. "The deadline for payment is long past and now we are going to take extreme measures to make collection." he said Under the Ontario Municipals Act a municipality: may restrain rents and file lawsuit for the collection of any outstanding tax account. In commenting on the move Mayor Eyre said that the slackness of a lot of people in paying their taxes is cost ing the town a lot of money in bank interest. . "The people who are paying their taxes regluarly are just subsidizâ€" ing the ones who do not. And its got to stop," He said. The council authorized the town clerk and solicitor to proceed with any legal formalities necessary to collect the outstanding taxes. Refusing to allow the people who pay taxes on time to "subsdiize" the delinquent tax payers, Mayor Karl Eyre led the council in a short lively debate Monday afternoon and decided ‘‘hat "legal steps should be taken."
