Thursday, Timmins, Ont., Thursday ‘The Simcoe Reformer says that the spectacieé Ol DCauâ€" harnois magnates filching millions of dollars through exâ€" ploitation of the public domain does not provide an edify ing picture at this time when thousands of men in Canada are without work and without food. The Advance believes that one reason why there are men without work and withâ€" out food in Canada toâ€"day is because of cases like that of Beauharnois where millions of dollars were switched to the pockets of men who to judge from their own evidence certainly had more money than brains. The Advance reâ€" peats what was said in these columns last week that inâ€" stead of a royal commission being appointed, there should be a number of prosecutions in the ordinary courts of law. If some of the acts alleged to have been committed are not against the laws of Canada this should be made plain to the people. If crimes have been committed, the ordinary courts should deal with them in the ordinary way. There should not be a separate form of law for those who juggle with millions of dollars. Either the handing round of money to both political parties by those seeking favours from the Government is a breach of the law, or else it is only a matâ€" ter of poor taste. If it is a crime, those guilty should be brought to judgment before the courts of the land. If it is only a question of poor taste, the law might well be amendâ€" ed to protect the public from poor taste that borders so wlosely on something else. GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER The London, England, humourous paper "Punch," has just | celebrated its ninetieth birthday. Above the cracks of the slapsticks and through the haze of the fiying custard pies, it must be apparent even on this continent that British | humour still has a mighty good Punch to it. A note received from J. J. Kelso, superintendent of Children‘s Aid Societies for the province of Ontario, says ; that the Children‘s Aid Shelter at Goderich, Ontario, is closed for a while because all the children are out spending |â€" their holidays with kindly people. "Isn‘t this fine?" asksl Mr. Kelso. It certainly is pleasing to think that people reâ€" [ member the .youngsters in the holiday time and see that they too have real vacations. At the same time it should not be forgotten that the people of the District of Coch-|‘ rane have also done well even if all the children are not on vacation outside, and even if the shelter remains open and active as usual. There are a number from the Shelter here who are out on a vacation, while in the past month or two several others were taken into good homes for per-’ manent adoption, which is best of all. During the vacation period several of the children have been given medical and "hospital treatment for tonsilitis and other troubles, and the youngsters themselves in some cases admit that theyhave‘ recsived more benefit to their health than would have reâ€" ‘sulted from a month‘s visit to the seaside. All the youngâ€" | sters at the Shelter here would enjoy a vacation with any kindly people, no doubt, but at the same time there is no question at all that they are enjoying their holidays "at home." To the youngsters the Shelter is "home." This is one of the earnest ambitions of those interested in the Children‘s Aid work,â€"that a temporary home, with all the atmosphere of home, with all the kindness and comfort and inspiration of home, should be available for the child without a home until a new home may be secured.> The matron and staff at the District of Cochrane Children‘s Aid | ‘Shelter have made a true home there for the children, where there is health of mind and body and of spirit, and where the stmesnhere is kindly and helpful as it should be in the| ideal home. Che Yormupine Advatnrr Bault Ste. Marie apparently prefers to be known by a shorter name. They spell the word "Soo," and pronouncte it "So" (though as a matter of fact it is only "Soâ€"So"). Then they act as if it were spelled Sault and pronounced Salt of the earth. Anyway, people are becoming sour on the Sault. ‘The Sudbury Star corrects the suggestion of The Advance that Sudbury assisted Sault Ste. Marie in capturing the reâ€" cent conference at North Bay. The Star points out that Sudbury had only three delegates present at the conferâ€" ence. Accordingly, The Advance must apologize to Sudbury in the matter. The Advance was only judging from what was published in The Star‘s own columns. It was stated there that Sault Ste. Marie was to organize all the district around that city and Sudbury was to perform a similar serâ€" vice for the area adjoining Sudbury. It appeared later that Sudbury did not enter with much enthusiasm into the plan for packing the conference, and it might be more accurate to call the recent conference a Sault Ste. Marie affair. With this added light on the matter it is difficult to see how the Government can pay any attention at all to that soâ€"called conference, proposed by North Bay and composed by Sault Ste. Marie. Canadian and other British people have been annoyed at â€" A road from Timmins the spectacle of a group of ignorant foreigners attempting needed. The belt line of "Gets Jail Term for Driving Too Slowly" was the startling heading in The North Bay Nugget last week. The speed fiends may deceive themselves into believing that there is such a thing as driving too slowly, but who has ever seen it. Watching the papers very closely, The Advance has never noted an accident caused by slow driving though there are thousands of accidents through fast driving. In the cases where accidents are blamed on slow driving it will be found that there was a fast driver concerned somewhere in the mishap. It is beside the point to quote the states where laws are enforced against slow driving. These are the very states where accidents are so common as to be appallâ€" ng. Accordingly, the note that a slow driver was given jail term near this North Land is certainly amazing. The incident, however, ozrcurred only in the heading. The article m The Nugget tells another story altogether. From the article it appears tuat slow driving had nothing at all to do with the sentence. The man in question was given ten days in jail for being drunk in charge of a car. No one knows better than a newspaper how difficult it is to write headings to fit the story and still go in the space allowed by the limitations of the type used. The work of writing headings has to be done hurriedly and under stress and much latitude should be permitted the heading writer. Still it does seem that to say a man was sentenced to jail for slow driving when he was given the term for being drunk in charge of a car is taking liberties with the art of heading writing as well as with the truth itself. of GEO Subscription Rates: $2,00 per year United States..$3.00 per year Published Every Thursday by Aucust 6th, 1931 Canadian -Weekly Newspapers Association TIMMINS, ONTARIO !-â€"â€"PHONEâ€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 LAKE, Owner and Publisher August 6th, 193 dollars through eX provide an edify is of men in Canad The Advance believe thout work and with All to tell the people of this country how to govern themselves. ‘These stupid aliens have made their "demands," and added what sort of houses people here should live in and how many there should be to a family. These ignorant fellows are undoubtedly very annoying but fortunately they have not the power to be as tyrannical as they are in their own Russia. For instance, The Huntingdon Gleaner last week told of a fashion committee, composed of men and women in the Voladarsky garment factory, Leningrad, who assert that they are going to wipe out the lazy habit of Russian men pulling off their trousers over dirty shoes. They are going to accomplish this by making only cuffless trousers that will fit tightly around the ankles just above the shog tops. The Advance hazards the opinion that simple as the Russian communists may be they are not likely to be forced to remove their boots to take off their trousers by any such scheme as suggested by this fashion committee. The only effect of the new fashion in trousers will be that the comâ€" munists will sleep with their trousers on as well as their boots.

This week Timmins was honoured by the visit of a real celebrityâ€"Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the worldâ€"| famous explorer and author, whose fame rests on real‘ achievement and whose record is a remarkable one of useful | pioneering in exploration work in the Arctic. Mr. Stefan~| sson has won honours, medals and degrees for his work for| Canada and for science. He is a Canadian with a fame‘t worldâ€"wide. Timmins is indebted to the Canadian Chauâ€" tauquas for the visit here of this eminent explorer, author! and lecturer. | \ One of the public works that should be undertaken at once both for its value as a means of providing employment, and as a measure for the development of the North Land, is the completion of the highway between Timmins and Sudbury. This roadway would give Timmins access by road to the new gold field of Matachewan. It would benefit Sudâ€" bury in the same way. It would confer double benefit on the Matachewan camp. It would greatly increase the attraction of this country to the tourist, offering one route to come North and another for the return trip. It would bind toâ€" gether by modern roadway all centres of this North Land. It would open up new country rich in minerals, timber and agricultural land. It would provide access to regular paradise for the fisherman and the hunter. It would make ids omm available to the people scenery that would of the North famous among all who adm and the romantic. This roadway should b at once. Saturday last the communists staged a demonstration against war. The affair ended in a minor riot. The United States hewspapers that are making so great a fuss about Lindbergh‘s airship voyage Cross Northern Canada may be excused because they may not know much about the matter. The Canadian newspapers that have became hysterical over the trip, however, have much less excuse. To several Canadian airmen the country through which Mr. Lindbergh is said to be making his epochâ€"making fiight is like a tale that has been told. Canadian airmen have flown over this barren land, across the wooded stretches, over the rocks and across the wide water stretches. They have mapped the country and charted the route. Without calling themselves heroes, or thinking much about it, except as part of the day‘s routine, they have made easy the way for Lindbegh and others to follow. In his present air voyage Mr. Lindbergh is following a trail blazed by Britishers, just as he did on the air voyage across the seas This story is told of a former resident of Timmins. He entered a local barber shop to find the barbers all busy and a number of customers waiting their turn. He walked boldâ€" ly to the till, took out a quarter, and then proceeded to anâ€" other barber shop to purchase a needed shave.

Moneta Mattagami Skidding is a fresh, sincere picture of American family life, showing Marion Hardy, a modern college girl who falls ecstatically in love with Wayne Trenton just as a career is opening up to her, and the difficulties she has in adjusting her romance. Then there are the pretty young daughters who chose to marry before they finished their education and want to "Come home to Mother®"‘ at the first sign of trouble. Mother Hardy is so upset at the modern tendencies of her daughters, that she goes on strike in order to straighten out her family. Young Andy Hardy is an adorable adolescent lad with his first "case""â€"a typical Booth Tarkington part. HMe keeps the audience in a gale of merriment with his humorous observances, his reminiscences about Grandma; and the white satin slippers he makes for Marion to be married in, have a great deal to do with straightening out her love affair. Although Skidding is hilariously amusing, it tells many an underlying truth which all audiences are bound to relish. Humor is blended with pathos and a deliciously garnished philosophy makes Skidding more significant than the average comedy. It is life. Awarded the Drama League prize.
