'l‘iâ€"nâ€"lmig, i Ont.,v Thursday,Aan_ilfith, 1933 relief as labt resort. ‘They avoided this charity just as long | as was possible. Their instincts of pride, of independence and of'f.fi-fl . the qualities that are typical of the average Canadian or other Britisher revolted against the idea of living on worse than a dole. Only sheer necessity brought these people to accepi:ance of direct relief, For those of some foreign origins, however, the case was different. To them direct relief made special appeal. They had been fed jyy agitators "with senseless slogans about "tapiâ€" talists" and "government oppression" and other twaddle. They felt that in direct relief they were in some way or another receiving something for nothing, something without having to work for it. In these silly ideas they were enâ€" couraged by newspapers and public men who knew better in their hearts but were too lazy for careful thought or too insincere to value the truth before an apparent political adâ€" vantage. At the council meeting in "‘Timmins on Monday there was reference to the class of people with the alien ideas. It was stated that over a hundred of single men on relief a year ago are still accepting direct reélief. °* In the meantime they have made no serious effort to better themâ€" selves. They have refused offers of work. On the pretence ~of seeking fair wages they have seen to it that they have escaped work altogether, and yet have lived. In the meanâ€" time scores of men â€"of better calibre have used their own efforts to escape from the onus of direct relief and to relieve the burdened taxpayers from the crushing weight of the cost of keeping hundreds in idleness. Young men, ableâ€" bodied and active, have pretended to scorn idea of acâ€" cepting low wages, or what they consider to be low wages, "but they have lacked the real pride that would make them ashamed of living at the expense of the taxpayers, many of them widows, many of them hardâ€"pressed indeed and workâ€" ing for small pay in effort to meet the bills that arise from direct relief. The money that the authorities pay for direct relief does not come from. any mysterious source. It does not come from some elusive capitalism. It comes from the work and the worry of people no moreâ€"able in the main than the chickenâ€"hearted spongers who are too, proud to work, but love loud talk and a mouthful of slogans and cheap phrases. These cheap grafters toâ€"day have worked out a scheme of life whereby it seems they have decided that they can be content to exist indefinitely even on the small dole being given.. They,seem to feel that they can never be happy again if work is allowed to interfere with their talk. 1t will take drastic measures to bring these fellows to sense and decency again. belief that the worst of the depression This is something that may â€"well be laid ito the door of direct relief. It is a fact, also, that the money spent for the lief :ofâ€"these: mouthy swindlers shas meant so much less for honest, deserying and worthy people who have been d by dire necessity to accept direct relief. bably the most serious count against direct relief, howâ€" o) 5 We «n A_ ’?ver. fim the evil it has done to the more worthy. It has rc Anese good people of much of their own initiative. It has Qmpted them to embrace the idea that in some way or anoth ersthe world owes them a living. Seeing others escape | yithout work, they have been inclined perhaps, to look for an equal advantage.. The very nature of direct relief leaves no proper distinction between the worthy and the unworthy, between the lazy and the industrious, between the man who would desire to play the game and the cheap grafter gho secks to force someone else to carry the burden. The town of . Timmins has escaped some of the evils of direct relief, bbcause so far as this town was ableâ€"so far as.the Governments would allowâ€"work was featured here rather than direct relief. Nevertheless, Timmins will feel literally for years this curse of direct relief. There are good men who have been unable to secure work for so long that the habit and power of work will be difficult to recapture. The way of life necessary under direct relief has been such that health and streneth have not been maintained. | Clothing: and equipment have suffered and when work does offer these men will find themselves less fully outfitted for a return to regular work than they were befare the curse of direct relief was visited upon them. ‘The problems of direct relief have been many during the days of the depression. The problems of direct relief will continue after the depression is passed. It will take years to overcome the evils that may be traced to direct relief. Timmins should be prepared to face the afterâ€"effects of the curse of direct relief, and in doing so the town may have this comfort, that whatever its troubles may be they will be light compared to other places where direct relief had a larger place and a longer and firmer grip than was allowed this curse in Timmins, ‘There is a certain or uncertain Toronto newspaper thatâ€" loves to spell democracy with a capital "D," and, as the prinâ€" ters say, "keep down" aristocracy..

The Cochrane Northiand Post being wild these days for changes will no doubt be delighted to know that the old saying about being "deatf as a Post" has been changed to the modern slang of "dumb as The Post." Fbr weeks past The Cochrane Northland Post has been devoting columns of editorial space to lamentations about the need for changes, but it is very small change The Post itself has been giving. It still maintains apparently that if a man suffers from a slight case of ingrowing toenails, the only sure cure is to cut his throat. It pretends to scorn the idea of such a thing as a "patch," but its alleged arguments are all most patchy. For instgnce, it derides the suggestion of The Advance that there is danger of an organized and vicious minority securing control of the«government of this country. "How could any party gain the power of governâ€" ment in this country without the support of the majority of the people?" asks The Post. In the next breath The Post: complains that in virtually no country in the . world toâ€"day does the majority rule. So goes the merry game of Postum. It needs a young digestion. _ With all the oidâ€"time mothâ€"eaten slogans and shibboleths, The Post prates about changes and new methods and new policies, when the truth is that it speaks nothing new in constructive way, but is simply acting as a junior John the Baptist for an old political party under a new and long name. In its youthful enthusiasm The Post mistakes what is new to it as something that is new to the world. ‘The Post‘s new party is simply one of the ambitious old gangs pretending to lead a religious crusade when the only ceremonial rite that is in real contemplation is the taking up of the collection. The Indians say that there are signs this year that there will be a very lerge crop of mosquitoes, and that the mosâ€" quitoes themselves will be very large and powerful. This is too bad! Then the Indians say further that a large crop of iarge mosquitoes is a sure sign of a long and very hot sumâ€" mer. This is perhaps, not so good! But the Indians are good people after all ‘for they add that large and numerous mosquitoes invariably mean big and bountiful crops. So the signs are propitious whatever the weather may prove, Since The Cochrane Northland Post started drinking the unpasteurized milk of CC.F. doctrine it has developed mania against “patches " ‘ According to The Post, the C.C.F. doctrine ‘requires that when you rip your trousers you should take off your pants and throw them away. One of the pleasing matters of. the past week ®Rhas been the shower ‘of praise for the town council and the authorit.ies generally for the oiling: of the streets. Adverse criticism of councils is common enough to make spontaneous commenâ€" dation both encouraging, and worthy of note. Praise is certainly due for the very effective oiling of practically all the streets in town last week. Never before has the work been done so thoroughly and so well. Dust is one of the cost.ly and dangerous menaces of this town in the summer and the excellent oiling of last week, directly and indirectly, is worth a lot to the people of the town. It may be added that the oil will proveâ€"of value as a help to the preservation of toads in the town. Just as the dust is the chief evil to. the townspeople, so water is the prime curse to the condition: of the roads. Not only is it pleasing to éee the council do so complete a job of the road oiling work, but it is equa.lly' encouraging to note the general approval voiced by the people.© It would be money well spent for gardens, lawns, homes and the people generally if the dust nuisance could be avoided this year. Oiling the whole road, ditches and all, would help to this end, as well as benefitting the roads. If enough people mention this to the mayor and councillors the work will likely be done this year. In comparison to the advantages to be derived, the cost will be little. In any event any citizen who happens t.o be speaking to any member of the council would do well to say ajgood word for the good work already done. There is enough criticism and complaint GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER to make the word of deserving praise only a matter of justice and fair play. Help the unemployed by giving that odd job to someone. An hour‘s work even will help. The cost to you will be little; it will mean much to some good fellow out of work. Scores of men have been "getting by" without need to go on relief through the odd jobs they get. If there is any odd . job around the house or business place, just phone 218 and Mr. Garner will send you a good man. No job too â€"small. Everything helps. Every mickle maks a muckle. Miss Agnes Macphail has been elected president of the Canadian Coâ€"operative Commonwealth Federation party for Ontario. No doubt the new party would have preferred to have elected: Miss Macphail as secretary, so that there might be no charge for postage for the party. Every man who is living on relief improperly is simply rCbbing the deserving man who is unfortunate for the moment. It is the lazy graiter and the scheming crook who nave made relief measures so difficult to enforce and so costâ€" ly to the country. , Kelly‘s Krazy Kastle at the Conklin‘s shows here under the auspices of the Canadian Legion carries a moral for those who stop laughing long enough to see it. show is one made from mirrors that distort everything...

O‘Meara and his colleagues gave a spokesman for the unemployed lthe usual answer to them. There was no disorder during the deâ€" monstration which found the ball park strikers in the third week of the local "no pay, no work," walkout. The council‘s "no work, no relief". edict showed no signs of wavering as the reeve and his aides generally agreed that the "demands" were imâ€" possible. They made this plain to K. Donahue, spokesman for the agitators; and later after the delegate had=~deâ€" parted the township fathers -ret.urned to make a.rrangements .by. which. some of theâ€"jobless might obtain employment on the Kirkland-La.rder road contract job, if the contractors were agreeable. | Jobless Army is Dwindling .

He said he represented 180 unemployed It was apparent from ‘the smaller numâ€" ber of agitators on hand that the soâ€" called strike, and the closing down of the soup kitchen has had the effect of weeding out many transient “w!on’t works" to the benefit of the community. i ’ spokesman made his presence known. "It‘s Mr. Donahue, isn‘t it?" asked | the reeve, as the unemployed army‘s "Yes, Mr. O‘Meara," was the reply. Won‘t Work Without Pay The spokesman then passed on to the | council a typed list of "demands" and | resolutions of a similar pattern to many others the township authoritie have summarily rejected in the past.. .It contained an absolute refusal to work without pay. ‘ ‘This time the agltawrs wanted thel Ammediate release of" five "workers" who were arrested by police some. déys? ago on various charges. Four of them â€"who sought to obtain meals in local restaurants without paying for themâ€"- are now in the Haileybury ‘jail serving 30â€"day terms and the fifth, one of the lieutenants of the strike, was to d trial here toâ€"day on a charge of 0 structing traffic near the ball park pn May 18. .

Donahue said the men wan‘ed meals in some restaurants which might supâ€" ply them with food at 25 cents a meal, ind not "in some high class place where it costs you 25 cents to take off your hat." _‘ Donahue countered with the remark ‘that in Timmins and South Porcupine |single men were being well taken care ‘of, and two meals a dayâ€"a good meal and a lunch was given them. "In so far as T am concerned," emphaâ€" tically stated the reeve, "I will never back down from the position I‘ve taken.
