Here is one sample ‘desâ€" pateh :â€"â€" s _ _ o o e oo e o "That Chief Johnston, of Kirkland Lake, is to have authority to hire whatever help he may require in policâ€" ing the municipality,. and that the police are to beâ€"provided with an auâ€" tomobile, are decisions reached by the Teck township council, following upon a report by J. Tripp, the brewery inâ€" spector, who complained of conditions here, both iby letter and by personal interview with members of the counâ€" cil. Chief Johnston had maintained that it was difficult in many cases to get convictions, he considered he was handicapped in not bhaving sufficient men, and hbhe asked~for another offiâ€" icer and a car. ; _ In the notes from The Nugget fyles of fifteen years ago, The North Bay Nugget says:â€"The first conveyance on wheels to travel betweenâ€"Swastika and Kirkland Lake went out this week. This rig was driven by Bob Martin of the Kirkland Lake hotel, "ut n . + ‘‘In his reports, Mr. Tripp comâ€" plained that there was considerable bootlegging and crime in town, and he thought the time had come when the police should clean up Kirkland Lauke. He had been notified by the Liquor Control Board, he said, to be careful in his duties and he wanted the council to have his report before bringing affairs to the attention of the Iboard. Council felt the report should be made to the provincial ruthorities, and not to the municipalâ€" ity. Mr. Tripp told: council that its members and the police were being freely criticized in Kirkland Lake. ‘«The inspector said he was responâ€" stble to the board to see that the purâ€" chasing of Ibeer did not become an abuse. The limit was five cases per week, but he knew, Mr. Tripp said, of instances where 15 cases were sent to one house by means of several perâ€" mits held by ‘different people. In a club, he had visited there had been gambling in progress, the inspector reported. Mr. Tripp who told the council he had heard the police were taking ‘‘hush money,‘"‘ suggested that ‘‘spotters‘‘ should be hired to have the law enforced in Kirkland Lake.‘‘ ind his first passenger was I‘'al Svans of the Teck Hughes mine.‘ 'Lfm_;x_nins has perhaps as «large a number: of radio owners for. its poptt-‘ ‘lation as any town in Canada. Fur‘ ther it may be noted that in the verv ‘early days of radio the interest here .exceeded that even in the cities, Mr. M. J. C’aveney, of Sandy Falls, who ‘lived for a.time in Timmins, conductâ€" ing a r@ular radio shop here, was not only a pioneer of radio in the North. but he was also a genuine ‘pioneer of .radlo for this province. Toâ€"day the ‘general interest here in radio is so }pronounoed that anything in regard to the welfate of radio will receive special notice . Accordingly The Adâ€" vance is making this rather lengthy reference to the debate in the House of. Commons last week when a tentaâ€" tive scheme of national broadcasting which the government has under conâ€" sideration was discussed. Reference was also, made to the contrasting treatment of the International Bible l Students‘ Association and The ronto Star in the imatter of radio broadcasting. We have made up our mind,‘‘ he declared in communicating the view of the Government, ‘‘that there must be a change in the broadcasting situaâ€" tion in Canada_ We have reached.the point where it is impossible for a member of the Government or for the Government itself to exercise the disâ€" ecretionary power which is given by, the law and by the regulations as they stand at present, for the very reason that ‘the moment the minister in charge exercises his discretion the matâ€" ter becomes a ‘political football all over Canada. This is not desirable, although I admit it is a logical conseâ€" quence of the law and regulations as they stand to day. We should change that situation and take radio broadâ€" casting dicenses away from the influâ€" ences of all sorts which, are brought to bear by all shades of political partâ€" ies. This will avoid trouble for the Minister and the Government and, J think, will result in greater satisfacâ€" tion to the public at large.‘‘ Hon. Mr. Cardin, minister in charge of radio, declared the inevitability. of someâ€"scheme of.national broadcasting and went on to deny that ‘he: had treated the International Bible Stuâ€" dents with any injustices, or the Toâ€" ronto Daily Star with undue partiality. Declaring.that the Government was not prepared to evolve a scheme at the moment because it did not have all the information which it desired in its possession,., Hon. Mr.. Cardin sketched, neverthless, the general plan which the Government had in mind. ©‘We are inclined to follow,"‘ ‘he said, ‘"that plan which had «been estaiblished and which is operating at present in England ; our idea would be to establish a company, the shares of which would be ‘the property of the Canadian Government, and. appoint special men who are called governors in England, to look after the issuing of licenses and the: regulation. of everything else in regard to this im portant business.‘‘ s : In the investigation which it was proposed to have a commission make during the recess, Hon. Mr. Cardin stated, the feasibility of . such â€" a scheme would be fully studied.. The remainder of the time upon the radio . estimaites was devoted pally to a discussion of the cancellaâ€" tion of the license of the International Bible Students and of the fullâ€"time broadeasting privileges. which the, Toâ€" ronto Daily Star had been accorfled. Hon. Mr. Cardin denied that he had acted arbitrarily in the one case and in a partisan manner in the othey, and preceeded to Yay down the principle upon which he disposed. of the priviâ€" leges of the air. . . _=. ‘‘We speak and we hear very much,‘‘ Hon. Mr. Cardin declared, ‘‘about the freedom of the air. I do not hesitate to say that the air is as «M M C 1 L CA 4 1 Bs t .A TB EP W! free as it ever wes before. But the use of the air has never been free, and as far as radio is concerned, the use of the air cannot be free, because if it were open to anyone to use the few channels of communication that we have in the radio service the result would ‘be This is a matter which has to be regulated or controllâ€" Es ion which it was commission make Hon. Mr. Cardin ility of . such â€" a lly studied.. ed for otherwise there is not hbertv or advantage to anyone.â€" *I have always understood,‘‘ Hon. Mr. Cardin further argued, ‘‘that my freedom and my liberty stops where my neighbour‘s beoms, and I cannot invade the path upon which my neighâ€" bour is travelling. I have to respect his rights as much as I expect him to value mine.. Honorable gentlemen who have spoken already have spoken of the freedom of the air, but freedom only for broadcasting people. I am for the freedom of the air in the interâ€" ests of the listenersâ€"in first of all, and I think that no broadcasting station has any right simply under the phrase ‘the freedom of the air‘ to impose upon me or upon any body elie his conâ€" victions or opinions and to foree me to listen to them the Vshole day or night ; that is the position.‘‘ W tre Winnipeg) interrupted to. inquire why the minister should cancel the license of such an organization as the International Bible Students and then grant 0 licenses to a firm of whnsl\\ drstlllers Hon. Mr. Cardin replied that ho had already indicated the grounds upon which he had taken his posmon He could not set forth any more plainly, and must be pxepdred ‘to. meet disâ€" agreement from any members to. whom they did not appeal as sufficient. . Mr. Geary yeturned to the question of ‘the privileges which had bheen acâ€" corded the '1‘01 onto Daily Star. ()ne stationâ€"namely, CJ YCâ€"had had 1ts license cancelled, he declared, and anâ€" otherâ€"namely, _ CE RBâ€"-â€"had «been transferred.to another wave length, with the result that the Toronto btar station had been left . in | exclusive possession of tiw 840 . kflucycle wave length.. "*‘This is an extraordinary conseâ€" quence,"‘"‘ Mr. Geary contended, addâ€" ing: ‘*I may not blame the minister personally," but© Iâ€" do. suggest that strong recommendations were made to the Government toâ€"clear the road.‘" Hon. Mr. Cardin averred that he could not be accused of partisanship in the matter since he had accorded similar tréatment to the London Free Press and the Halifix Herald; both of which were Conservative papers. He contended that where an exelusive wave length was available a newspaâ€" per had the ‘best right to it, and deâ€" clared that where he must choose beâ€" tween such a broadcasting agency and another, he would favour the newsâ€" I 3 UAJIOAL 1.3 ~_bidC _}IU¢AUAAIAA+ J.S. w (Labor, North Cenâ€" RITEâ€"GO@D _ Jn d Who wc\“dn't C lt s ~awel You only have to lolâ€" low the directions to get the kind of beer you really like â€" ‘we cusrantee the quality lt _ STâ€"LAWRENCE PRESERVING CO.
