A Scotch Air Pack saved the day Yor the firemen as one of the men donned this equipment and took a hose with him and spotted the source of the fire through the dense smoke and the fire was under control i the matter of minutes.

Deputy Chief Jim Morton said, "an investigation is underway as to who was responsible for the setting of the bonfire."

Daylight Saving A letter ijfrom the Town Soliciters informed the council that Daylight Saving was not a municipal question but a federal matter and to‘submit it to the electors‘to vote tupon would be improper legally.

Pierini Dismissed For Second Time Magistrate Atkinson ruled again in Tuesday Court u@t there ~was not sufficient evidence to commit Mrs. Joy Pierini for trial by jury on the charges of receiving stolen money in the case for the robbery of over $5000, from the home of Bruno Carâ€" novale. Benninger was picked up by the police with .some. of the stolen money in his possession while Pierini was picked up on the same charge although the money was not in his possession it was found under a shed nt the back of his home on an adâ€" joining property. Benninger â€"and Pierini‘ had been together , prior to the robbery, but Mrs. Pierini had joined the men about ten o‘clock the evening of the robbery. At the initial hearing of the case Mrs. Pierini had been dismissed by the magistrate. charge was relaid by the police and again the case was disâ€" missed for insufficient evidence. Mrs.Englehart, a crown witness said that she was on her way homs on the night of the robbery and on passing ‘the ‘home heard a hammering noise at about 20 minâ€" utes to eleven at night. On being questioned, she said it could have been someone putting on storm windows causing the noise. Mrs. Nicholson, ancther witness, who lives in the close vicinity of the Carnovale home said she heard rammering noises about twenty minutes past eleven coming from the direction of the Carnovale home on the night in question. Detective Sgt. Beacock, investi. gating the case, told the court that Mrs. Pierini admitted being with the men from 10:;:00 ~p.m. that evening until 1i:15 a.m. The Timmins Y‘s Mens Club were granted permission by the council as requested in their letter to hang a sign over Third Avnue to advertise the George Wade Dance to"be sponsored by the club. The magistrate dismissed the case on the grounds that the evidence was not sufficient to be charged with reâ€" ceiving stolen goods. The ‘Hollinger Conolidated Gold Mine informed the Town of Timmins by letter of the increase in cost of overhead in the pumping station and that an increase would ‘be charged to the town for the purchase of their water.
