The Christmas time just passed is admitted by practically all the business people of the town and district to have been the best for business in several years. Were this increase in trade confined to the Timmins district alone it would not be so encouraging. It is. however. a reflex of what is reported from all over the province, all over the Dominion, in fact. The Advance has hitherto avoided any false optimism in regard to business that if Timmins had been asked to look after its own people cnly, the depression would have had little effect here. be- cause the mines have been operating steadily and at full capacity. but Timmins has had a steady stream of transients to maintain and has certainly felt the burden of depression. Capable administration of municipal affairs for years past in 'I‘immins has helped to ease the burden, but the depres- sion has been felt here in serious way and will be felt for some time to come. cause they appear not only as most oesmraoxe out also a: probable of fulfilment. As Premier Henry says in his New Year's message published elsewhere in this issue. the country has come through four years'of trying days. There. are those who appear to believe that the depressi0n has not been felt in Tlmmins. If anyone believes that Timmins has escaped the effects of the depression it is only because those believing such a thing are unacquainted'.with the people here and the conditions. For years past the town of Timmins has had a roll of about one thousand unemployed. No town of the size of Timmins could have a thousand unemployed and not feel the strain. The cast of relief in Timmins in the past few years is another material proof that this town has not escaped the depression. There are few merchants here who have not been painfully aware of the fact of the depressionâ€"in lessened business. slower collections, more dimcult conditions in business. Fevv people here have been able to escape the drag of the depression. It is true that payrolls in town and district have remained just the same. or even increased a little, but it is equally true that directly or indirectly the payrolls have had to care for largely in- creased numbers. How many of those on steady salaries have had to care for relations and friends here or elsewhere? How many, indeed, on regular pay, have been actually keep- ing two families instead of one? The answer to these two questions would make it evident that the depression has been felt in ’I'immins to a large extent.

As a matter of ‘ ct it has prowd so far the coldest winter on record in to generally. quesuons almost at once assume a much milder tone. There is usually a. great difference between what a man may say on a. political platform among friends and followers. and what he will assert on his responsibility as a member of the Legislature. Part of the 'cry of scandal in connection with the Ontario Legislature is due to the fact that the leader of the opposition party has no seat in the Legislature and so does not feel the responsibility that would otherwise be his. The politicians have been making much of what they term scandals in reference to the present Ontario Government. After the.end or this month there will be much less noise in regard to these questions. The Legislature meets on Jan. 31st, and when there is opportunity to bring these questions forward on the responsibility of a member of the House, the questions almost at once assume a much milder tone. There is usually a. great difference between what a man mnv industry in the No money for this so: the public as well deserve. “Be sure to write it 1934." A whole lot of newspapers are writing that sentence this week, more for their own practme than to advise their readers. action and attitude but asks for further action so that the. public may be protected in the future. .In the end it is the public that has to pay all the bills and in cases like these the public has a right to know who causes the expenditure. and why. There is a general disposition to believe that the strikes are settled. It may be said that the strikes are by no means settled unless the real origin is known. Once more there is a. plot under way to create trouble in another industry in the North. The alien agitators who take foreign money for this sort of dirty work should be exposed so that the public as well as the law may deal with them as they GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER Cl‘l So goes the romance of gold hunting. No doubt this ver romance sets man into the game of prospecting and keep them at it. once they start. In any event this romance 0 the gold-hunting game holds the public fancy and the gen eral interest. At the same time it must be admitted that i is the work. the faith, the courage and the dogged persist ence of the prospector that finally brings success to the hun far gold. The prospector is none the worse for the romanCi that comes to him in his hunt for gold, but it is doubtfu if all the romance in the world would bring to life a singlu mine were it not {or the struggle. the hardship. the worry the work. and the gallant spirit of the prospector. After all the real romance oi the search for the precious metals lie: in the character. the courage and the resource of the pros- 8:) goes the romance of hunting gold. There were similar romances in regard to California. the Yukon. Alaska South Africa. The famous Rand property in South Africa is often referred to as simply a lucky find. The story is that a hunter shot a deer and the animal in its dying strug- gles kicked to such effect that gold showings were uncover- ed that set the prospectors on the right track in the right for gold the two viscars are fair specimens, are fired by a turning zeal to establish here the systen. which prevails in Rus- sia. and that the Canadian Defence League is an organization dangerous to the peace and weii'are of the country. “The financial statement handed in provides further com‘irmation of our ViL ws.
