Even now while there are many graduating from the schools, there is no work to be found for them. In a few years time the numbers of young men and women ready to take a place in the north country will be increased ten fold.

The Amherstburg Echo is the only inâ€" dustry now in Amherstburg that has been in successful and continuous acâ€" tivity for the past sixty years. In all these sixty years there have been only two changes in management. Hon. W. D. Balfour and John A. Auld founded The Echo in 1874. When Hon. Mr. Balfsur died his partner, Mr. Auld carâ€" ried on the business, later taking in a partner, Arthur W. Marsh. When Mr. Auld passed on, Mr. Marsh carried on the business and is still the editor and manager of this successful and inâ€" fluential newspaper. The diamond jubilee edition is a large one, thirtyâ€" four pages to be exact, and it is a credit to the printers, publishers, ediâ€" tors, contributors and to the adverâ€" tisers who have made it possible and practical to issue so worthy a newspaper to observe so nota‘ble an occasion. The diamond jubilee number has many artiâ€" cles of special interest in regard to Amâ€" herstburg and its industries and proâ€" gress during the years. In addition there is a very comprehensive history of Amherstburg with full details given. The issue is replete with illustrations of men and places of years ago as well as with more modern pictures. Among the particularly interesting features of the issue are halfâ€"tone cuts showing the fashions in clothes of the years gone by. Anyone interested in Amâ€" herstburg should secure a copy of this special diamond jubilee number. Stray Stories:â€"Live in such a manâ€" ner that you wouldn‘t be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town‘s worst gossip. Diamond Jubilee Edition â€" of the Amherstburg Echo John Knox, general manager of Holâ€" linger Consolidated has consented to prepare a paper on the prospects for youth of the north country in mining,, so that the whole subject of developâ€" ment in the north and what it may mean to the coming generation should receive a thorough treatment next Monday evening. and the government to do everything possible in the way of developing other resources of the north apart from mines so that when the mines now operating cease, people will still be able to reside in the north and derive a livâ€" ing from those other resources." Aside from the mines‘ investment in Timmins there is approximately $14,000,â€" 00 of private and public capital tied up here and in order to secure that, the people here should know just what fuâ€" opment of agricultural land immeâ€" diately adjacent to mining fields. Our own township of Mountjoy is:an exâ€" ample of this." "I have felt for a long t.me," conâ€" tinued Mr. Langdon when interviewed by The Advance, "that the government has not appreciated the necessity for it has not seen to the necessary develâ€" what the boards of trade hope Dr. Speakman will tell the public next THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS8, ONTARIO One of the troubles with publishing from day to day the reports of the mass buying probe at Ottawa is the fact that the evidence one day may leave a wrong impression that may not lig corrected for some time in the ordiâ€" nary course of affairs Managers of chain stores have been impresseq w.th this fact recently and have taken meaâ€" sures to set themselves right before the public. The evidence given at the mass buying probe at Ottawa by Suthâ€" erland Cuddy, Dominion weights and measures inspector recently has roused the resentment of the chain store managers. A gathsring of 400 of the managers at Toronto last week passed ’al strongly worded resolution refuting the inspector‘s charges of short weight angq unethical practices. The expressed special resentment at his implied accuâ€" sation that they had been guilty of petty theivery. With the exception of one man who several times threw the meeting into disorder by his shouted comments, the managers were unaniâ€" mous in condemming the charges ol the inspector. They denied absolutely that managers of the chain stores reâ€" sorted to ‘short weight practices to cover up stock loses and shinkages. All the speakers at the meeting emphaâ€" sizeq the fact that a square deal to the customer and honest weight were esâ€" sential principles in their business. Wilâ€" liam Walters, elected chairman, said that the chain store managers would. not be given a chance to defend them-: selves at Ottawa and that the meeting was their cnly way of registering a strong protest. "It has been unfair crit.cism," he charged, "and if what has been said at ‘Ottawa is true the chain stores woulg not have flourished and survived.

There was a standing offer of a wiash prize for any man who would get into a ring with This campaign, in addition to the work being done year after year by Boy Scouts and Girl Guides should do much toward saving life :n the proâ€" vince. Already United States editorial sommentators are agitating for the esâ€" tablishment of first aid stations similar to those set up by the Ontario Motor League. This summer in at least one small Ontario town, the local prov.ncial offiâ€" cer, through coâ€"operation of school authorities, arranged for classes of inâ€" struction for all persons in the muniâ€" cipality who were interested. Saturday mornings found the auditorium of the local school completely filled, not only by children but adults as well. That provincial officer now has hundreds of people in his district who know what should be done right away for anyone who needs immediate attenticn. They were all anxious to learn and welcomed the onportunity. It is with ultimate object in view of acquaint.ng a larger number of people with the principles of first aid that the mcotor league has begun its campaign for first aid stations. Doctors and proâ€" vincial police are only too willing to help teach classes what to do first in cases of njury, drowning or electrocuâ€" tion. Every man on the provincial force wears the little black and white badge that signifies he has passed the test for the St. John‘s Ambulance Corps membership and is familiar with methods of teaching his knowledge to others. The everâ€"increasing popularity of travel by automobile has added to the annual roll of accidents nct only diâ€" rectly due to the machines themselves but also to the fact that more and more people are able to find their way out into the open country with its hills. forests, lakes and streams. Accidents nsw czcur in a large number of sutâ€"ofâ€" theâ€"way places where it is sometimes difficult to obtain medical aid quickly. Many lives have been lost due to the general ignorance of first aid. Highway Number Two between Toâ€" ronto and Montreal was selecdted by the league as the best one with which to begin as this roag carries more reguâ€" lar traffic than most others in the proâ€" vince. Vcolunteers make up the staff of the 22 stations now established and they have been trained in first aid work by local phys.cians acting under the direction of the St. John Ambulance Association. First aid stations for injured travelâ€" lers have been established in Ontario as an experiment of the Ontario Motor League. This is the first attempt on the North American ccntinent at such a service and during the next few years statistics w.ll show just how great an advantage a system like this should be. Ontario Leading in First Aid on Roads The meeting forwarded a resolution to Ottawa denouncing the suggestion of the inspector that chain store a@â€" count:ng systems made necessary illeâ€" gal and unethical practices and denyâ€" ing that Ithe chain store managers conducted or permitted "shortâ€"weightâ€" ing" by customers.

He pointed out that managers were entitled to check up goods coming in from the warehouses and charge back any shortâ€" age.

Try The Advance Want Advertisements But to return to the point of the disâ€" cussionâ€"as far as the world of science knows toâ€"day, there is no such thing as a manâ€"made deathâ€"ray capable of destroying large numbers of men at tremendous distances. Scientific Ameriâ€" can says that the newspaper reports were basically correct but asserts that the "somewhat dramatic headlines ‘Death Stars Found: Screen Saves Earth‘; ‘Blue Stars Send:ng Death Rays; Ozone Turns Them from Earth‘; and so on, give their readers an Oopâ€" portunity to enjoy a slight thrill of horror at a safe distance, a game we all enjoy." Some say that this is all in the plan of the universeâ€"lfe coulg not exist without the protective ozone blanket, hence it is given by some as another example of Divine intervektion. Others say that this is highly improbable and that life would have gone forward in any case ,protoplasm adapting itself to shorter waves of the sun‘s riadiation than has so far been necessary. The deathâ€"rays are of the ultraâ€"violet species and our own sun is a gocd proâ€" ducer of them. (The particular ray recently referred to in newspapers as deathâ€"rays are those but are of a much shorter length or a much more rapid vibrat.on ‘than the ultraâ€"violet rays that the reseponsible for our summer coats of tan). They are now known to science as destroyers of protoplasm and an interesting problem arises when it is realized that if the layer of ozone gas were suddenly removed from the upper atmosphere, life would cease to exist on the earth. A few days later it was annosunced in the headlines that the carth was being continually bombarded with "deathâ€"rays" from the heavens but that the effect of czone iin the upper atâ€" mosphere shields the earth ang its peoâ€" ple from any ill effects. Though the "discovery" of these deathâ€"rays is by no means a novel thing in the scientiâ€" fic world, new information regarding the rays has been obtained from a new method of research. Dr. Charles G. Abbot of the Smithsonian Institution is the man who is responsible for the recent new information. A short time ago an "expose" was printed in some daily papers on this continent as well as in Europe conâ€" cerning the demolition of "deathâ€"ray‘" producing equipment under cireumâ€" stances that would mae a fine "thirller" The December l1ith convention here will also be the annual meeting when the financial report will be read, past business reported. and officers for the coming year elected.
