Cobalt Club is being| organized, its members ~to be men formerly connected with the camp, assisted in measure by pre- sent residents of the community there as response is made. Al- ready, in initial efforts, arrange- ments have been made for sup~ ap- proximately a half-month's sup- ply of cigarettes has gone for- ward and three radios have been provided for the use of the crew. Members of the club as a start- er, include Richard Pearce, one of the. editors of The Northern Min- er, H. C. McCloskey, formerly oi the McKinley-Darragh mine, Fra- ser D. Reid of the Coniagas pro perty, and Gilbert LaBine, all men who were associated with mining in Cobalt's earlier days. Administrator of the fund which is to be provided is R. S. Taylor of New Liskeard, and for years a citizen of Cobalt, and who had been asked to take over those duties. Other mining men are to be approached, it has been in- dicated from Toronto, and the Kiwanis club in Cobalt itself is expected to play its part in the project. Donations of $50 each from the Toronto men mentioned were the 'first financial contributions to the fund, and other money will be raised. It was stated that some 10,000 cigarettes had been for- warded to the ship, which carries a crew of 69 officers and men, while subscriptions have been placed with six well-known mag- azines of a wide variety of inter- ests, and for two copies apiece of these to be sent reguarly through the naval authorities. It is probable, also, that fruit for the crew will be available when the ship is in port, through the fund, although, the commanding officer had indicated that it was scarcely feasible to have this par- ticular comfort at other times. since the corvette is at sea for considerable periods. The idea apparently originated with Mr. Pearce, who approached other former Cobalters, and who was in touch with government officials in connection with the plan under consideration. It has heen calculated that each man re- quires from 250 to 300 cigarettes as a monthly allowance, accord- ing to an estimate made. Mr. Taylor said at the week-end that he expected to be in touch with the Cobalt Kiwanians, who al- ready had been sounded out in the matter, during the present week, when the connection of the mem- bers of the club with this particu- AIRIA ACROSS 55.

When the corvette "Cobalt" was sent on its career, the muni- cipality presented the vessel with a desk set of appropriate con- struction and design, and this is carried wherever the ship goes. The matter of comforts for the crew is said also to have been partly attended to from the camp. but residents there have been concentrating largely on work for the men from their own sec- tion who have joined up in the services, none of whom, so far as is known, is on the "Cobalt." It is believed likely that Kiwanians will make some arrangements for receiving any donations that people of the district may feei like making to the new fund, in amounts large or small, and meantime old Cobalters in Toron- to and elsewhere are being can- vassed in this connection.
