This is the plan of leaving a light or two burning all night in the business place. The constable on patrol can give double protection to buildings under this plan. Burglars do not care to work with the light upon them, while on the other hand if the constable finds the light out in‘ any place where it is customary to keep a light burning he investigates at Banks and jewelry, stores and other places where valuables are kept have used this plan for years and found it most helpful and effective. It. _reduces the burglary risk and doubles the risk for the burglar. If all the stores in town would follow the advice to ‘‘have a light burning,"‘ it would be very valuable assistance to the police, as well as a good type of burglary insurance. â€" The cost would not be much. results of this plan, wherever tried, have proven its value. If the scheme of "‘leaving a light burning‘‘ were gcnoraliy adopted the burglar business would be so dangerous that it would soon lose its epidemic form.â€" While it is true that the several recent hburglaries have been more or dess petty affairs with small losses, it appears equaliy true that the plan of ‘leaving a licht burning‘‘ would entail similarly small expense and would do much to avoid the loss and annoyance of burglarâ€" ies. In past years The Advance has advocated this plan and still believes that in its adoption rests the opportunity for an economical and effective plan of protection for the business places of the town in the hours of darkness. The light is recognized as the cheapest form uf burgfar alarm. When it is burning, the burglar is foreed to advertise himself. When the light is out it is an advertisement that all is not well. Every business man should adopt this plan of protecting his property at night. L 4000 OO O on en in ons TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, APRIL 28th, 1927 ATTENTION AGAIN CALLED TO A PLAN FOR PROTECTION AGAINST BURGLARS During the past week there was another burglary of a kind committed in town. Charette‘s poolroom was entered by way of a skylight and the use of a rope. â€" While there was practically no loss, such incidents are undoubtedâ€" ly annoying. _ The police are working on this latest case, and have not forgotâ€" ten the previous ones. It should be remembered, however, that burglaries have a tendency to be epidemic. Often it occurs that a series will be comâ€" mitted before the guilty are brought to punishment. Experience in Timmins has shown that several instances of this type of crime may be committed before the necessary evidence can be gathered for a conviction. _ In past years there have been small ecpidemics of this "breaking and entering,""‘ but eventually the guilty were discovered and punished. The fact that it took time was no reflection on the police. It may also be noted that this year the police are not attempting to take advantage of wellâ€"known ‘!tricks of the trade.‘? They have not used the device of centering on some group capâ€" tured elsewhere and saying they were the burglars that committed all the crimes in Timmins, and so the mystery is solved. Instead they have devoted their attention to following up the meagre clues available, and there is little doubt but that eventually they will capture the guilty ones the trade.‘?

Instead they have devoted their attention to following up the meagre clues available, and there is little doubt but that eventually they will capture the guilty ones On the other hand, to secure the desired freedom from loss by burglars there must be coâ€"operation from the propertyâ€"owners concerned. _ Proper locks and ample protection to windows should surely be considered as necesâ€" sary. Doors lett open are assuredly an invitation to the illâ€"disposed and to those without regard for the property rights of others. It may also be noted once more that merchants and others have a cheap and effective form of burglary protection at their disposal if they will but put it to use. This is the plan of leaving a light or two burning all night in the business place. The constable on patrol can give double protection to buildings under this plan. Burglars do not care to work with the light _____ i We eomip e ns athar if hnds the light out in In the unorganized territory of the Dominion, the Federal Government accepts, as a matter of course, all responsibility for law and order and the varing for the helpless and the indigent. The Dominion authorities recogâ€" nize the fact that the Federal Government is the organization that should bear any expense arising from matters in unorganized territory. _ In the Northwest territories this principle has been observed for years. For years, also, The Advance lsas been asking the Provincial Government.to follow a similar principle in regard to unorganized territory in this province. _ The Provincial Government is the only body receiving any revenue from the unâ€" organized territory. No other organization, in fairness or equity should be asked to bear expense originating in territory where there is no municipal or county organization. â€" The Provincial Government should face the situation fairly, and in the case of indigents and similar situations should take the place of the municipality that does not exist. The attitude of the Dominion tovernment appears to be the right one. _ If the Provincial Government openly adopted the same plan it would relieve the municipalities of this Nor:h Land of an unfair and unjust burden. #o # # Â¥#: # A man named Frank Sampson was sentenced at Toronto last week to One of the amusing features of a meeting on Monday last was the big bov Patrick Henry, saying his little piece, ‘‘Gimme liberty or gimme death.‘‘ fourteen years imprisonment and thirty lashes for holding up and robbing a stqrekeeper. At the trial the Toronto constable who was held up and robbed of his gun, belt and badge, gave evidence to the effect that Sampson was the man who had victimized him. No doubt the evidence of the conâ€" stable had an effect on the severity of the sentencte. no doubt the murderer of Inspector Constable at Cochrane last year will say : â€"‘‘That man Sampson was a fool. If he wanted to do anything to a police officer, why didn‘t he shoot him, and then he would not have been bothered at all.‘‘ The importance of the mining industry in Canada cognized. â€" Perhaps, the visit of the British Empire Minic Congress to this country this summer may have the effect in inara. annréciation of Canad The importance of the mining industry in Canada is not generally reâ€" cognized. â€" Perhaps, the visit of the British Empire Mining and Metallurgical Congress to this country this summer may have the effect of giving the world in general a more comprehensive appreciation of Canada‘s important place as a producer of mineral wealth, The mineral production of Canada for 1926 amounted to a value of $216,000,000. Canada produces 90 per cent. of the world‘s cobalt ; SS per cent. of the world‘s asbestos; 80 per cent. of the world‘s nickel: and 9 per cent. of the world‘s gold. While the percentage of gold production does not appear vrery large, it is impressive when it is remembered that this production shows steady growth, and when the populaâ€" tion of Canada is kept in mind. Canada‘s production of silver is 9 per cent. af the world‘s totai. The production of copper in Canada is 3 per cent. of o A youngster in North Bay when he saw the assessment commissioner with his big book taking down data at a home in North Bay, seriously enâ€" quired if the official were the Recording Angel.

What makes the matter worse is that the young lady,has a Scottish name. MUCKH GOOD WORK BEING DONE BY V.O.N. NURSE HERE A contemptible scheme was discovered last week. _ Some of the corn thrown around to feed the wild geese stopping here on their way North was found to be soaked in alecohol. The diabolical plan in view was apparently to get the poor birds spiflicated, and then capture them alive when they were in their drunken state. The mean game however, was frustrated by the watchfulness of the provincial authorities. It will go very hard with the perpetrators of this outrage if they are discovered. There will no doubt be a very severe penalty for the men who would put good aleohol to such a use while it is so badly needed for human consumption in this time of war. At the regular meeting on Monday evening of the Victorian Order of Nurses in the Empire Hotel, with the president, Mr. P. Dougal, in the chair, the monthly report of Miss Elliott, the V.O.N. nurse, was received and showed good work being earried on in the town. Miss Elliott made 142 visits during the month and the record of her cases proved that the work is of high value and worthy the best supâ€" port,. Work is in progress this week on changes planned for the town hall. The door at the front has been moved to the side, and three offices are being made at the front where there were only two before. There will now be offices for the police, the tax collector and the assessor, in front of the counâ€" cil chambers. Some slight changes are also contemplated upstairs. The total cost of the changes is not to exceed $700.00, according to the present plans. The work is being rushed forâ€" ward. _ Caron Martin have the contract. HIGHLAND DANCING EXTRA FEATURE AT CALEDONIANS IMPROVEMENTS BEING MADE TO THE TOWN HALL. There was a large attendance of members and friends at the Caledoâ€" nian Society meeting in the Hollinger hall on Friday last. The Ladies Comâ€" mittee had charge of arrangements, and the programme was of high standâ€" ard. Voeal solos by Mrs. J. R. Todd and Miss Ina Cotcher were well renâ€" dered and much applauded. _ Violin solos by Master Tommy Goodman were also much appreciated. _ The special feature for the evening was the Highâ€" land dancing by Misses Maisie Roâ€" berts, Peggy Shaw and Margaret Geils, this being a real treat. Mr. E. Brennan amused the company with his witty Irish songs. The remainder of the evening was spent in novelty dances. _ The prizes for the Lucky Spot dance were carried off by Miss Mabel Bourne and Master Bille Shewan. _ Refreshments were served during the evening, and an enjovable event brought to a close by the singâ€" ing of ‘‘Auld Lang Syne."‘ TIMMINS BARRED FROM ORATORICAL CONTEST. Jack Cuthbertson of the Timmins High School duly entered in The Toâ€" ronto Star‘s oratorical contest in conâ€" nection with the celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of Confederation. He was ready to go to North Bay to take part in the district competition, but this week received word that he would not be allowed to compete as there were no others from this disâ€" trict. It does not appear to be a fair way of dealing, but many will not be at all surprised. Probably, if Jack had been a resident of some other town than Timmins he might have reâ€" ceived better usage. â€" However, he has the satisfaction of knowing that he was ready and was not ineligible for any fair reason. Just why The Toronto Star appears to be prejudiced acainst Timmins remains a mystery. At the sale on Monday Mrs. Haas, of the Russell House, purchased the Kingston Hotel at a figure between twelve and thirteen thousand dollars which appears to be a bargain. Mr. and Mrs. J. Tierney leave this week for Toronto, where Mrs. Tierney will remain. â€" Mr. Tierney will return here next week for a time. Mr,. Tierney is one of the early business men in the camp, and he and Mrs. Tierney made wide cireles of friends who. will reâ€" gret their removal from town and wish them the very best in their new location.
