The Board of Trade has made.â€"a very useful and auspicious start this year and with the coâ€"cperaâ€" tion of the citizens in general will prove a very helpful organization for the town. Board of Trade meetings can ‘be made a clearing house for the axchange of ideas that will aid in the betterment and progress of the town. This has ‘been amply proved this year already. Reference was made last week to some of the good work growâ€" ing from the last meeting of the Board of ‘Trade. It may not be out of »lace to mention another item. Mr. ing from the last meeting of the Board of ‘Trade. It may not be out of place to mention another item. Mr. R. Dipaclo, of the Poreupine Board of Trade brought forward among other matters of district interest the question of what he ‘considered unâ€" tairness in the distribution of freight cars to pulp dealers and others alongy this branch of the E.

Apart from the particular advantage to the country o‘f the gold production here, there is the purchasâ€" ing power of the industry and its emâ€" ployees to ibe considered as an advantâ€" age to trade. A recent article in The prosperous vantage f{C teen thousand of population: Ao other industry in this land can rightly elaim as much.

The question has besen asked tosver. â€" The question has been asked repeatedly as to where the people would go here for refuge in case this town were menaced as Haileybury was menaced last year. There is no lake here, and no other convenient refuge. If Timmins were faced with a situaâ€" tion such as faced Haitleybury last October, and if the people felt that they did not know what to do or where to go for safety, the result could only be panic, and paniec would mean loss of life and loss of any chances that might be for saving property. Quesâ€" tions along these lines are ‘being raisâ€" ed now. When the dry season apâ€" proaches they are likely to ‘be asked with greater importunity.. The time to answer such questions is now. The time to prepare absolutely for the suggested eventualities is also now,â€" now, when there is no panic, no danâ€" ger, and ample time to prepare and gsuard. On the one hand there should be no false sense of security, and on the other there should be no unnecess ary alarm. The situation as it exists, and as it may be made to exist, should se squarely Taced, The Quebee Government has orderâ€" ed a trebling of the usual number of fire rangers for this year, and also arranged for these guardians to comâ€" menee work on April 15th, much earliâ€" er than customary. From a mass of information and data gathered, the Quebec Government has reached the conclusion that the approaching seaâ€" were, aroun(dt ONn8 Mss Work zives Timmins a firstâ€"class chance for the fichting ‘back of any bush fires. This is what is chiefly needed. It is senerally recognized that with the efâ€" fective fire brigade and the superior fire fighting equipment of the town, there is practically no serious danger of a copflagration from any fire arginâ€" ating inside the town limits. The Timâ€" mins Fire Brigade has won the enviâ€" able reéputation of never allowing a fire to spread beyond the building in which it may commence. In this North muSst always De reckoned wWiLlll. â€" WY Jn all the equipment in the world and the most upâ€"toâ€"date brigade possible a town would have a poor chanee if it was in the way of bush fire driven by a gale and with a volume of bush near town to add to its fury.

Second, the firedfighting staffs and equipment of the town should ‘be main tained and enlarged. No consideration whatever should be permitted to interâ€" fere with the protection of the town from the fire enemy. Speakers at the recent Board of Trade Bangquet counâ€" selled the Town Council to **dloosan up‘‘ in expenditures. In no line could they have more warrant for outâ€" lay than in ‘buying more ‘*tluck"" for the Town of Timmins in the matter of fire. The Town of Timmins must continue to do its part for the safety of the town. Expenditures for fire protection are justified ‘by sound business sense, as well as by considera tions of humanity. To allow Timmins to ‘burn like Haileybury would. mean a monetary loss of fully twenty million dollars, as well as setting the Camp back five years or more. Third, there should be official insâ€" tructions as to what to do in case of any particular danger in the coming months. This is necessary to avoid danger of panic, for the case of Haiâ€" has madse a most striking imâ€" pression on the minds of the people in general. Fire Chief Borland this week reminded The Advance that a couple of years ago there was a voluntary orâ€" ganization of some two hundred capâ€" able citizens ready to act in case of emergency from the bush fire menace. There was an effective organization with every man having hiÂ¥ place and ready either.to figlitâ€"fire or to direct Third, there tructions as tc any particular months. â€" This pumphnouse, new mains and increased pumpin# power, while at the same time retaining the former plant of the town with its steam auxiliary. Timâ€" mins was never in better shape to batâ€" tle with any fires that may oceur. This condition should ‘be maintained at all costs, and no consideration allowed to endanger or interfere ‘with t he town‘s present good position in this regard. EASTER SERVICES AT THE CHURCHES IN TIMMINS There were unusually large crowds present at the Easter Services on Sunâ€" day in the Anglican, Presbyterian and Baptist churches. ‘The churches were beautiful with flowers and other sugâ€" gestions of Spring, and there was speâ€" cial music and special addresses apâ€" propriate to Easter at all the services. »At the Salvation Army, Brigadier and Mrs] MceAmmond of North Bay were present and there were special services with special music and adâ€" dresses of inspiration and helpfulness.
