Accordingly, lThe Advance gladly published the le;â€" |ter in question, though at the same time making some comments to correct | what appeared to be misconceptions in ihe next regular meating of the Timmins town council is scheduled for f Monday, Aug, 10th, commencing In the issue of Oct. 17th, 1929, The !Advance published the following ediâ€" <orial paragraph:â€"‘"Last week The Adâ€" Ivzmce received a letter from Mr. John Rowlandson, of Porquis Junction, reâ€" lative to the Government regulations on the export of pulpwood. The Advance always been specially interested in | this matter because <he restrictions on [‘the export of pulpwoocd are of very importance to the struggling The Advance reciprocates Mr. Rowâ€" landson‘s good wishes, recognizing the great need. the matter. Since then, however, The Advance has noted that the same letter, with identical wording, has been pubâ€" lished in The Pembroke Standardâ€"Obâ€" server over the signature of Arthur Cotnam, and in other newsriipers under different n . _ Very evidently the letter is a part partizan political propaganda and has been sent out fromh eadquarters for the signatures of local men. In lending himself to a scheme of this sort John Rowlandson has done illâ€"service to the settlers who need all the newspapyr friends possible to guard their interests in the matter of pulpwood and other ques:ions. There are newspapers throughout the country who will feel they were deceived in this mailter and they will be resentful of the deception. The Advance would asâ€" sure all such newspapers, however, that the settlers were in no way a party of any such trickery. All the settlers ask is a fair deal, and in the interests of the country at large and in the cause of justice every newspaper should asâ€" sist in seeing that the case for the setâ€" tlers is always given the fulles: publiciâ€" ty and support." The Advance recvinrarates Mrâ€" RBvp. lit to them for publi¢ation. I also ipâ€" lviLe you to give their reply as much publicity as you have given your acâ€" cusaticon of plagiarism. Even a very astute editor ought to have more eviâ€" dence thkan a hunch to back up such a satement as you have made. To the remainder of your remarks * will just say, like the old lady when she had finished reading the dictionary, "I hae nae doot it‘s a‘ verra guid, but I dinna see the connection." In conclusion, let me assure you that you continue to enjoy my bes} wishes for the improvement of The Advance. ' Very truly yours, John Rowlandson. Possibly® without meaning to«â€"do so, M:. Rowlandson misrepresents what The ‘Advance said about his letter of a couple of years ago. What The Adâ€" vance said was tha; Mr. Rowlandson‘s letter to The Advance was identica with other letters appearing in other Ontario newspipers over cother signaâ€" tures. As Mr. Rowlandson‘s letter The Advante and the letters appearing. in other newspapers were published on. the same date, there was no question of , Mr. Rowlandson plagiarizing from the others or the others s:ealing from It was very evidently a case of letters of propaganda being sent out from: some central headquarters and people, in different localities signing the leb'er, and sending it to local newspapers as their own. ‘There does not seem to be any other explanation possible. The i propaganda letter was published in The Advance of Oct. 10th, 1929, and is may be of interest to readers to note what The Advance said in an editorial note: in the following issue. jatt ind Another Letter by John Rowlandson About the Letter Published Under Dif ferent Signatures in Different Paâ€" pers.

The movement was siarted by Dr. Buchâ€" man and now counts its converts in every piart of the globe. Among. the notable converts to this new religious movement is a former firebrand in the communist ranks. He says that when his conscience used :o bother him he would go out and do a little agitating to forget himself. Now, he is as strong for right and decency and proper living as he was for getting others into trouble and crime. The Referse suggests that the religious revival now in evidence at Oxford is likely to spread thrcugh all the continents of the world. f 21 tter was reo Rcwlandson embarg> sandwich" lient that renders fairâ€"minded readâ€" two yvears ago, you r my namse which have come from s and to have been De in ing the trouble find something g immediately ¢ One item in the issue is perhaps worth a piragraph by itself.

"A good spanking is a sure cure for nagging childish wives," said the judge. "It proves he is the master.

In addition to the regular events, two Scotch light operas: ‘"Prince Charming‘‘ and "Prince Charlie and Flora"‘ will be presented by members of the resident company.
