Che Yormmurte Advaitce TIMMINS, ONTARIO OFFICE 26â€"â€"â€"PHONESâ€"â€"RESIDENCE 10 Member of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Associat Published Every Thursday by: GEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher An article in The Renfrew Mercury IJASt WCCK with the following fragrant sentence:â€""Much is heard about the scavenger service and the collection of garbage at meetings of the Renfrew town council." The Advance was under the impression that Orillia and Toronto were the only two municipalities where garbage is collected at counâ€" cil meetings. Naturally such business at council meeting does make a lot of talk. The Advance extends its sympathy to the reporters who have to attend such meetings. It has just leaked out that at the recent visit of newsâ€" papermen and others to the Abitibi Canyon power developâ€" ment site north of Cochrane, Alec Dewar, formerly editor of The Broke Hustler at Troquois Falls, and now editor of "Abitibi," the monthly magazine of the Abitibi Power and Paper Co., had to be restrained by force from violent asâ€" sault upon The Toronto star man. Alec asked The Star man what he thought of the Abitibi country, and The Star NMorth Land seems to be Old Man ALlIlUL UR worst enemy of good roads here is Madame Rain. On Monâ€" day the read from Timmins to Porquis Junction was in good ccndition after a couple of dry days. Monday evening it rained and in less than two hours there were strips of the: roadway that were almost impassable. The roads have many ruts and when rain falls the ruts fill with water and this helps neither the travelling nor the condition of the road afterwards. Work is being carried on now on the provincial roads in this district, and with the new machinery now in use in the section and with the apparent tendency to specialize in ditching there is hope that the condition of the roads will not altogether depend upon the weather. It appears as if several of thetbad pieces of road could have been remedied earlier by the prompt application of a few loads of gravel placed where needed. The Advance is still of the cpinion that the only way that the Ferguson highway may be expected to give reasonable satisfaction is by the adcption of a system of section gangs similar to that used to keep railroad tracks and roadbeds in proper condition. Daily patrols of each section of road with prompt attention to each bad spot would seem to promise the only hope for a gocod road. In any event the present system of bearing with a roadway that is impassable, or nearly so, at the whim of the weather, and enjoying a fairly good roadway when the weather kindly permits, does not appear to be the senâ€" sible or desirable procedure. e Timmins, Ont., Thursday, June 26th, 1930 According to what was said at the recent Liberal party convention for this riding Hon. ‘Wm. Lyon Mackenzie King, the premier of Canada during the balance of this month and the greater part of next month, is in favour of a North Land: man being appointed to the Canadian Senate. Mr. Bradette, who was the Liberal member for this riding during the last parliament, is also in favour of the North Land being represented in the Senate. The Liberal partyâ€"conâ€" vertion in South Temiskaming at a recent meeting went on record as in favour of a North Land Senator. Thus, all concerned in the matter are in agreement there should be North Land Senator, but they have persisted year after year in filling appointments to the Senate from other sections of the province and completely ignoring this large and imâ€" portant area. If the pecple of this riding have the same sense of humour, or whatever it may be, that characterizes the attitude of the Government on this Senate matter, then all the people here will express their favour for Mr. Bradette and vote for Mr. Chenier.. History has more or less a reputation for repeating itself. In some cases this tendency to repeat is not to be encouraged Ten yvears ago some citizens, thoughtless or worse, allowed their horses and cows to roam the roads at night with the result that men and women here who had lavished time and money and interest on the cultivation and care of lawns and gardens saw their hard work of many days stamped out by the hoofs of wandering animals in a night. At the preâ€" sent time the same evil of wandering horses and cows is threatened. It would be deplorable if history were allowed to repeat the destruction of lawns and gardens that took | place ten years ago. If there should be any such repetition there will be very strenuous demand for an equal repetition‘ of the police court cases and poundage charges that resulted l ten years ago. One owner of a nice lawn and garden last week discovered the owner of the animals that injured his. property, and made strenuous objection to the fellow who was too mean to provide pasture for the animals he owned. "The cows only eat some of your grass," was the reply, "and you did not want to eat it yourself, didja?" The man who would make an answer like that is certainly a poor type of citizen. Pines and penalties, and. perhaps, a term in jail, might educate a fellow like that so that he could live with his fellows in a civilized country. The man or woman makâ€" ing a lawn or garden in this country deserves special conâ€" sideration. Lawns and gardens brighten and beautify the town; they give pleasure to all; and they give an added touch of pleasure to life. Makers of iliawns and gardens, even though they may be working largely for their own pleasure, are really public benefactors. If history repeats itself by special activity toâ€"day on the part of the police in prosecuting the mean and careless people who allow horses and cattle to roam the streets at nights and destroy the beauty of the town,. there will be general approval. Thursday, June 26th, 1930 A week or so ago The Northern Tribune in an editorial note suggests that The Advance misunderstood The Tribune when this newspaper came to the conclusion that the Kapusâ€" kasing journal was advocating that the settlers in the North Land form themselves into a separate political party. The Northern Tribune explains that what it really suggéested, "sHOW OF sHOWS" TRIUMPH OF COLOUR AND sINGING What is hailed as the most spectacuâ€" lar fim extravaganza ever filmed, Warner Bros. starâ€"spangled, singing, talking, @ancing revue in technicolour, "Show of Shows," comes to the Goldâ€" fields theatre on Monday of next week, June 30th, and Tuesday, July list.

This being the case, The Advance and The Northern Tribune are evidently in agreeâ€" ment on the matter of the best attitude to be assumed by the settlers The Advance suggested some weeks ago in commenting on an article in The Northern Tribune that the settlers might accomplish something by society something after the manner of a town board of trade. Such a body could express the views of the settlers and might also present a strong front to impress the authâ€" orities with the fact that the settlers have votes and influâ€" ence and will stand together like other interests in support of their rights. At the same time The Advance recognizes the difficulties that face the settler in perfecting any sort of organization. ‘The settlers have been so handicapped and |. { 1 ons e uen mss on on en ommc omm es % e are having so serious a struggle for existence, that they have' little money to organize, and even the simplest organization needs some money to maintain it. Further, they are scatâ€" | tered over so wide a territory and are so widely scattered | over this big area that it is difficult, indeed, for them to | get together with any frequency or regularity. It should be remembered that it is most unfair to ask the settlers to : do too much for themselves. The country owes them a fair deal in the first place, and in the second place the sett-] lers have already done much to better their condition. They | have surely done their part. They have put up a battle for! existence that would daunt the ordinary man. Some months | ago they prepared a petition to the Ontario Government', setting forth their needs and some of their rights. Theyi pointed out in effective way the conditions undér which they| suffered and they indicated the plans whereby relief could | be given and the settlers allowed opportunity for progges:si; and prosperity. The settlers asked for three principal of assistance. First, they emphasized the need for roads for| settlers. ~ Next, they requested some form of bonus for clearâ€"!, ing land along the lines that have been so successful in the| colcnization of Quebec. Their final request was for a sep-i | arate department of the government administration to care for the needs of the settlers. None of these requests have been granted, though there has been time and opportunity enough. In the meantime the settlers are continuing the struggle against adverse circumstances, as best they may. It is true that a few roads for settlers have been planned to be built this year, but the fringe of the problem has scarcely been tcuched. Nothing has been done in regard to any bonus for settlers. Such a bonus would mean the difâ€" ference between success and failure for the settler, though the amount of the bonus seems pitifully small. The Adâ€" vance would advise the settlers to create and maintalin as much organization and coâ€"operation as they can, but at the same time it does seem no more than fair and patriotic that other people should do what they can to assist in the betterâ€" ment of the lot of the settler whose circumstances and opâ€" portunities are poor indeed at present. At the entrances to the new post office there are descripâ€" tive brass plates in both French and English. The brass plate in front of the mail box is also lettered in French and English. This no doubt explains why the Civil Service Comâ€" mission is insisting that the janitor of the new post office building have bilingual qualificationsâ€"so that he may be able to properly clean those brass plates in both French and English. ‘ The trick of answering one question by asking another might well be used in the North Land these days. For exâ€" ample, the query, "How are the roads?" might well be replieda to by the question, "How is the weather?" Only a very few tourists have reached Timmins this year to date. Of course, the condition of the roads has much to 8 do with this. But even when the weather improves, which means a corresponding improvement in the roads, it will be found that the number of tourists reaching here will be | only a small percentage of the number visiting New Lis-' keard, for example. The chief factor in preventing a reg‘u-l lar rush of tourists to this North Land is the fact that motorists find little attraction in the idea of driving a car| | | l north for five hundred miles and returning by the same route. The ccmpletion of the belt line of reads for this North would increase many fold the number of tourists comâ€" ing to this part of the North. This country has enough atâ€" tractions to bring flocks of tourists under proper conditions. With a belt line of roads tourists would come here from the west as well as the east. The country would soon beâ€" come famous for its lure to tourists. The North Land with its wonderful gold camp, its remarkable silverâ€"mines, its unâ€" usual pulp and paper industries, its nickel and copper proâ€" duction, its beautiful natural scenery, its forests, lakes and streams, would normally be a regular paradise for tourists. iThe tourist trade is now generally recognized as one of the most profitable lines of business that may come to a country. All Ontario would profit by the impetus that would be given to the tourist trade if the North Land had real opportunity | to display itself. The belt line of roads is the answer to all Ithls. The need for the belt line of roads should be kept in mind constantly and should take second place only to roads for settlers. Without the assistance and coâ€"operation of the Dominion Government there will be no material progress made on the construction of the Transâ€"Canada highway. Such a roadâ€" way is certainly for the general advantage of Canada. It should be built, and the Dominion Government should assist to this end with money and interest. Now is the time to carry on the building of such a highway, for the work would mean in large measure a cure for the serious unemployment that has injured the country during the past few months. A gentleman who returned last week from the Kamiskotia area says that the black flies are bad and the mosquitoes are worse. He claims that not only has the prospector in Kamâ€" iskotia to put up with the fiapper mosquitoes of 1930 with their smartness and assurance, but that there are actually hundreds of last year‘s crop of mosquitoes still out for blood and getting it. The old mosquitoes are even worse than the new ones, he says, though he does not specify as to how he can distinguish between one of last year‘s brand and one of the 1930 model. Two men once got into an argument as to which was the better looking and they left the matter to a passing Chinaman to decide. When pressed to tell the truth without fear or favour, the Chinaman studied the faces of both men for a few minutes and then solemnly said:â€""Me think both am worse." The mosquitoes of 1929 and the new crop of 1930 qualify for the Chinaman‘s verdict. number with a delectable array of lady stars and a score of the most famous "heavies": a grand finale which feaâ€" tures Betty Compson and Alexander Grey and three hundred and fifty dancing girls and one hundred and fifâ€" ty negro entertainers as well as ten specialty dancing acts.

Subs Strut Their Stuff As the First Half Ends With nothing at stake at the finish game of the first half of the season‘s softball, the captains of the different teams decided to see what some of their subs. could do. Those who showea signs of promise were R. Langdon of the Strollers, J. Platt of the M.â€"E.s, and W. Alton of the Hollinger Stores. If allowed to play these players will be closely watched in the second half, which starts next week. The game between the Strollers and the Power team last Friday was not decided until the sixth innings when with two runs down the Strollers crossâ€" ed the plate eight times, to aefeat the Power team.

The famous Winnie is shown as an entertainer in a night club, desperateiy in love with Jerry, the former racketeer who has become her manager. â€" But Jerry (played by Chester Morris) is deâ€" cidedly not interested. Winnie tells Jerry of her great love fcr him and begs him to give up the scociety girl who, Winnie feels, is interâ€" ected in him merely because he is enâ€" tirely different from the men she has besasn accustomed to meeting: He insists upon prociaiming his love for the cther girl, and Winnie, after futile fight, leaves the city brokenâ€" hearted.

PRIEST SAVES TWO GIRLS, THEN PERISHES HIMSELF Desnmatches from Montreal this week say that Pather Raymond Cloran, S.J., prefect of discipline at Loyola College at Montreal, was drowned in the St. Lawrence River Sunday afternoon afâ€" ter an heroic rescue of two young girls who got beyond their depth while bathâ€" ng Father Cloran, who was 46 years old. a son of the late Senator H. G. Cloran, was bathing with a number of friends at Varennes when he noticed that the two girls, who were guests at a nearby riverside résidence, were in difficulties. The priest swam to their assistance while two girls put out in a row boat. Father Cloran reached Cecilia McGes, the girl who was in the greatest danâ€" ger, and supported hsr until the boat reached them and he managed to get her into it. He then helped the other girl, who had been able to swim a little into the boat but was too exhausted to save himself. The girls were unable to aid him and by the time further asâ€" sistance had reached the scene Father Cloran had disappeared below the surâ€" face. His body had not been recoverâ€" ed at a late hour toâ€"night. Father Cloran was born and eduâ€" cated in Montreal and was ordained in 1921. He was prominent in hockey and lacrosse circles when a young mA and also played rugby and baseball. He was a moving spirit in sport activities amone the students at Loyola and very popular throughout Montreal and disâ€" trict. Mr. and Mrs. W. H.

The first part of the service was carried out by the Women‘s Legion and many compliments were heard regarding the excellence and beauty of the work as exemplified by their drill team. Mrs. Chas. Surman gave a tasteful renderâ€" ing of the sacred song "My Task." After the men‘s team had carried out their part of the ceremonies, a party of over forty ladies and gentlemen from the two lodges went out to the cemeâ€" tery, where a further simple ceremony was performed in memory of the deâ€" parted members of the two lodges, and the Women‘s Legion placed a beautiful wreath on the grave of a deceased member of their organization.
