St. Mary‘s Journalâ€"Argusâ€"A farmer complained to us the other day that it took him over half an hour to drive to town with a cutter, now that the sideroads are not open for motor trafâ€" fic.

The patient added that he hoped to be starting home in three or four days. And, in future, he‘s going to xkeep a close watch on his rear molars. Four months ago Brander while on a timber cruising expedition, caught cold. One night while asleep he was seized with a violent coughing spell and without knowing it at the time bit upon tha metal dental The broken portion slid down his throat and lodged in his lung. He did not feel any immediate ill effects, except that his cold appeared to become more aggravated. He missed the fragment of plate the next day, but thought it had fallen on the ground and been kicked into the camp fire. Seeking a cure for his cold, he went to physicians who confessed themselves puzzled, since he did not mention having inhaled the dental plate. Finally, he was told he had a severe case of either asthma or brenchitis, and was advised to g0 to Florida. So, he packed up and started.

"Our methods of combatting typhoid are two, first, to prevent the germ from reaching its prosprctive human victims. Second by a form of vaccination called incculation, to teach the victim‘s body how to protect itself against the disâ€" ease germs if and when they do secure a foothold in his system. Let us first consider the means at our disposal of preventing these germs from getting to us As I mentioned in ‘the last talk cities have reduced the urban typhoid rate to a point considerably below that of rural areas by carefully safeguardâ€" ing their water, milk and food supplies, especially those of milk and water. City milk is usually pasteurized and city water chlorinatedâ€"two processes to kill all gertm life present in two important fluids. So, to deal with city people. First, their principal duty in combatting typhoid fever is to see to it that their city has an alert upâ€"toâ€" date health department and to insist that it be empowered to have the water supply chlorinated and all milk pasâ€" teurized. There is often a great deal of dissention about the pasteurization of milk and there are many ‘antis‘ at work in almost every community to block the introduction of this important health measure. Public health officials are agreed that pasteurization of milk is a great saver of life and health. It does not seem right that selfish interâ€" "The problem of protection against typhoid in rural parts is very serious," the lecturer continued, "indeed rural tyihoid death rates are many times as high as the death rate in large, proâ€" perlyâ€"run cities, This is so because cities= â€" maintaining efficient public heailth departments receive the care which rural areas depending upon part time medical officers of health can not hope to have. The County Health Unit system which is annually saving hunâ€" dreds of lives in Quebec, by substitutâ€" ing for the part time officer a full time health department in miniature should be applied to rural areas all over Canâ€" ada. In the meantime however farm peoole should not put their trust in home filters for purifying water. Do not ve satisfied that you are safe from typhoid if your well water is clear and sparkling and tasteless," the speaker Prevention is "better than cure. It is true that Timmins has never had an epidemic of typhoid fever, but that is all the more reason why it should not have cne. The fact that some towns in this new ccuntry have suffered regular epidemics of typhoid, while Timmins has never had enough cases at any one time to constitute an epidemic, proves that epidemics of this disease may be avoided. Timmins has taken precauâ€" tions to avoid epidemics and the fact that these precautions have been efâ€" fective seems to suggest that the town would do well to continue to follow the advice of the Medical Health Officer and the other medical men in such matters as these. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, the proverb says, and the same eternal vigilance will buy a lot of safety and health. It should never be considered an offâ€"season for thinking about ‘health measures for the general protection. For this reason there should be special interest in a recent address broadcast over a numâ€" ber of Canadian stations by the the Social Hygiene Council‘s Radio College of Health lecturer. This address was heard by several in Timmins who were particularly interested in the references to the pasteurization of milk. est should ever succeed in blocking such a necessary move as the passing of a pasteurization byâ€"law. warned. "Remembper that typhoid germs are so small that millions of them could remain undetected in perâ€" fectly clear water." "Keep fliss away from fosd" was another emphatic warning given by the lecturer. Also he said:â€"*"Insist upon the quarantine laws in your district| being rigorcusly enforced. Do not asâ€" Valuable Sugzgestions Over the Radio in Regard to Preventing Typhoid. Water one of the Chief Carriers cf the Germ. F.ies Also Active. The lecturer said that tyrlhoid fever is caused by a germ, and it cannot be saused in any other way. Brantford Expositor: â€"H. L. Varney, who formerly had the duty of ascerâ€" taining for the Washington authorities, the extent to which Red propaganda was taking hold in the United States, recently addressed the Kiwanis Club in Montreal and drew an illuminating picture of the menace. He uttered the warning that Soviet Russia "was a naâ€" tion dedicated to worldâ€"wide revoluâ€" tion" and said that the other nations should take more heed of the "evil shadow." A shadow, it may be added, which involves denial of God and a debased and licentious method of living | in place of basic family life and indiâ€" vidual freedom. Here is another item that may inâ€" terest you. My friend Tommy Blackâ€" man was my first customer and he tolâ€" erated me to the bitter end. But then, why shouldn‘t he do so? If my memâ€" ory serves me right, he first met his good wife when she worked in my office. I do remember it used to take him long time to pay his bill after he got to the store. However, I hope Mrs. Blackman does not hold all this against me still. Usually a newspaper is sincerely reâ€" gretable when it makes a mistake, but The Advance is rather pleased at a reâ€" cent error because of the results of the mistake. A couple of weeks ago The Advance in making reference to a forâ€" mer popular and esteemed citizen of Timmins incidentally mentioned that J. P. McLaughlin, the gentleman reâ€" ferred to, was not the first to built in the town of Timmins though one of the first and a pioneer business man here. In making reference to days gone by The Advance is very anxious to be acâ€" curate and takes much trouble to be so, but there is a temptation to actually be pleased with the particular error in regard to the first man to build here as the reference has brought a most interesting letter from Mr. McLaughâ€" lin who for some years has besen a reâ€" sident of Torento. This letter will prove of interest to all readers of The Advance, because of its information in regard to early days here, while the oldâ€"timers of the town and camp will find esprcial pleasure in perusing it. Information given The Advance at various times by first citizens here like Chas. Pierce, the late H. Peters and cthers left the matter in some doubt. There ssemed to be a question as to just what building was the first to be erected here. \On one ocasion the late Mr. Peters said that the best way would be to leave it an opesn question between the International Saloon (whose 1loâ€" cation was somewhere in the block beâ€" tween Pine street and Spruce on Third avenue) and the first post office buildâ€" ing, later the Oriental bakery and now cne of the stores near the Goldfields theatre on Third avenue. Mr. Mcâ€" Laughlin‘s letter decided the matter finally as to the first to start building in this town of Timmins. Mr. Mcâ€" Laughlin‘s letter is as follows:â€" To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins noon I let the contract to Joe Newton‘s brother, Jack, for excavating the celâ€" lar. I walked out to South Porcupine that night and returned in the mornâ€" ing, also walking. I arrived at the Timmins townsite about 8.30, and was surprised to find that Friend Newton with one horse and seraper had about twoâ€"thirds of ‘the sand dumped on Third avenue and the backâ€"end of the lot. The cellar was 48‘ x 32‘ x T‘. This was the very first break made in the soil of the town of Timmins for a building. I therefore claim the honour belongs to Mr. Newton and myself. The honour of being the first to have merchandise for sale belongs to my friend, Charlie Pierce. It does seem quite, natural too, when you consider our respective races, that I should ‘be the first to pay out money and my friend Charlie the first to take in monev. So it has continued ever since. The first Christmas my wife invited all the homeless business men in town, druggists, bakers, etc., to dinner. There were about fourteen of them in all, We had a linen table cloth and napkins, holly decorations, and real turkey, and I believe, a littls "Oh, be joyful." But why continue? Dear Sir:â€"In an article in your last issue referring to myself you state:â€" "Mr. McLaughlin was one of the first businessmen in while not having the honour of being the first to start building in this town, etc." My I acquaint you with the facts so as to remove all doubts as to whom the honour belongs. The auction sale of lots took palce in the afternoon of Sept. 4th, 1911. I purchased a lot and a half (45 feet) where the men‘s furnishings store of the Hollinger Stores, Ltd., stands, and the lane adjoining. The same afterâ€" arrive in Timmins. She was eight months old when she came here. I remember well how her cries, particuâ€" larly through the night, broke the monctonous silence that hung over the townsite, only brcoken by the wind whistling through the jackpines. And how she could do it! sociate with typhoid convalescents unâ€" til the ‘doector has definitely certified them to be free from germs."

First to Do Building In Town of Timmins ‘Youry Toronto, Feb. 17th, 1931 »wursyâ€"~Sincerely, J. P. McLAUGHLIN THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO About 18 years ago the T. N. O. had a survey from Elk Lake to Timâ€" mins and it sure runs pretty close to the Ashleyâ€"Garvey Matachewan find. If the railway extends the Elk Lake branch along this survey it will be close to and ready for new finds which are sure to be discovered. Then there will also be considerable lumbering along it, also it will come right into a new Timagami where there are more lakes than any place in Ontario outâ€" side Rainy Lake district. These lakes are teeming with fish. I‘ts a great tourist area and the highest mounâ€" tains in this North will be seen from this branch of the T. N. O. In fact, every mile from where it starts to Kapâ€" uskasing is rich in gold and silver and other minerals and plenty of other things to make it pay big returns. On this route it passes through the valleys of the height.of land and will require less tunnels to make. I have lived in this North long enough to know it, for I am as much interested in the scenery as I am in its gold and other mining, and therefore I say:â€" "Look to the future, and where else is there a more promising area than south of Porcupine?" For five years I have been boosting this area and some have felt that my talk ~was hot air, but now Matachewan is booming and they have changed their minds. Any new finds that may be made in the eastern part can be taken care of by the main line of the T. N. O., but the extension of the Elk Lake branch to Timmins and on to Kapuskasing will have to be built if the mining is to continue Dear Sir:â€"Will the T. N. O. build to Matachewan? If it does, will anyâ€" cne toll me where there would be a betâ€" ter route than to extend the Elk Lake branch westward and thence northerly, and later on extend it right to Kapusâ€" kasing, through Timmins and Kamâ€" iskotia."® At present the Elk Lake branch runs through a large farminz area and there is silver and ccbalt to be found amalong its entire length. Straight west of its end are the new gold finds in Tyrell township, and also the Gowganda silver camp is straight west. Silver surely will some day go back to profitable price and then the railway will be close to it, besides all the silver along it from end to end. If MciIntyre proves a mine in Tyvrell townshir! they are entitled to the railâ€" way alsc. Last week The Advance made reâ€" ference to plans made years ago for railway extensions in the country south of Timmins. On Friday of last week The Advance received the following letter from H. A. Prestcn, one of the pionger prospectors of this North. This letter, taking up much of the same question dealt with in the Adâ€" vance last week, though from a difâ€" ferent angle, must have been written about the same time that the®article in The Advance was penned. In any event Mr. Preston did not know then about the article in The Advance, nor did The Advance know about Mr. Presâ€" ton‘s letter.

Russian timber is not only hitting at producers in the United States; it is hitting at Canada as well.
