New Regulations in Regard to Prisons The payment of allowances to conâ€" victs is not a new feature in Canada. â€" The law provided for some payments as high as $20 to convicts on leaving the prison walls, back in the last cenâ€" tury. When the Act was rev1sed in 1918 the maximum was reduced to $10. So far, however, no attempt has@been mmade to set up a system: of payments per day. is . 6 %%0~. . Some of the Canadian provinces have systems in jail arff reformatories under which convicts can earn money. Briâ€" tish Columbia jails pay 10 cents aay. but no other money is provided conâ€" viects on their release and they are not supplied with clothes. In United States prisons the rules vary but many of them have sliding scales of 'Sayments. depending on the skill and intelligence of the convict: In England also small sums are allowed convicts for their labour. â€" The inauguration of these payments will not_affect the rule which allows wardens to give released convicts a sum of money up to $10. Such payments will still beé possible. whether or not the convict has earned any money under the fiveâ€"centsâ€"aâ€"day scheme. ‘The payments will be made undeor the authority of Section 15 of the Peniâ€" tentiaries Act, which has provided for them in the discretion of the authoriâ€" ties for some time. The law also proâ€" vides that every convict leaving peni« tentiary be provided with transportaâ€" tion to the place where he was senâ€" tenced, with a suit of clothes and with a sum of money in the discretion of the warden, not to exceed $10. An international committee estabâ€" lished by tÂ¥ League of Nations has drawn up a set of rules proposed for all penitentiaries which included such payments. The present action by the Canadian Government is a step in conâ€" formity with these rules. TIry The Advance Want Advertisements The amount a convict will be enâ€" titled to will thus depend entirely on his conduct and diligence and the money accumulated will assist him in maintaining himself from the time of his release until he can secure employ- ment. Where a,convict has more than $50 to his credit he may direct that the excess of $50 may be paid to his nextâ€" ofâ€"kin. However, it will take a conâ€" vict nearly two years to earn $50. As a further inducement to good conduct during sentence convicts will be entitled to five cents a day on reâ€" leas@f® for every day of remission standing to their credit in excess of 72 days According to the rules conâ€" victs may earn stfk days remission each month until 72 days are earned and thereafter 10 days a month. The money will be paid over to the convicts only on their release except aâ€"limited amount which they may use for purchase of tcbacco or direct payâ€" ment to their dependent nextâ€"ofâ€"kin. When the payment starts, the present free issue of tobacco will be disconâ€" tinued and convicts will be allowed to obtain up to oneâ€"eighth of a pound of tobacco a week, the cost of which will be charged against one half of the reâ€" muneration allowance. Thus convicts who do not smoke will have more money to their credit when they come out.than will smokers. Brigâ€"Gen. D. M. Ormond, Superinâ€" tendent of Penitentiaries, announced Monday that an allowance of five cents a day for each day worked would be provided convicts with good conduct and not undergoing punishment or deâ€" privation of privilege for any offence against penitentiary rules and reguâ€" lations.

B From January 8th to 22nd JANUARY 3RD, 1035 Empire Hotel, Timmins Professor Parrie | â€" "Being the first person to propose | this auto road (not a railroad), I think !I should have a say about it since I ‘have studied it and wrote up more !about it than anyone. If a road is to be ~built for just pleasure alone like the rocky route of Transâ€"Canada Highâ€" way then I say ‘"Don‘t have the road [at all!" The idea of this road is to gconnect alf the mining camps and make it possible for more to come. It‘s not for pleasure alone and a straight iroute would be too costly and take tso "long to build while the other one can ‘be done quickly because 9 out of 10 miles are already there, and over fifty miles are kept open all winter and that‘s what we need from Timmins to Matachewanâ€"kept open all winter. On the straight pleasure only route this can‘t be done. It‘s too expensive to keep open rcads for pleasure only durâ€" ing the winter months, There is abunâ€" dance of scenery and sverything else that there is any other route on the Timminsâ€"Matachewanâ€"Elk Lakeâ€"Gowâ€" ganda route and this route does the greatest good to the greatest number and will earn its cost several times. The straight route is only for a few. !Any roads built in this north should serve more than one purpose® and run through the towns along it. This straight route would cost double what the mining rcoad would. If it were not for Shining Tree, Gowganda, Elk Lake, Matachewan, there would be no need whatever for a road at all. So forget pleasure and get down to business and more mining and put more money into circulation." ' Mr. and Mrs. Lynch will reside in Galt, Ont.. where Mr. Lynch is credit manager for Beatty Bros.

He first enlisted at Ayr, Scotland, with the Royal Scots Pusiliers in 1914 as a private. Later, however, while watchâ€" ing an a.ir battle between two planes he decided that adventure and interest lay in the air forces and in March, 1917, he joined the Royal Air Force in Paleâ€" stine, later becoming a flying officer with the rank of lieutenant. From Octcber, 1917, to the end of the war he was engaged in air reconnaisance work in Palestine and France by flying over the enemy lines and directing the fire of the British artillery on the enemy troops, a dangerous if exciting occupaâ€" ticn.

Born in Lancashire, Engâ€" land, 61 years ago, Jimmie Simpson at ten years of age sold newspapers, and at 14 years old came to Canada. His first job in this country was in a facâ€" tory dipping metal into enamel, but he didn‘t see much future in that for his ambition and it wasn‘t long before he was in the printing trade. In due course he became a compositor with a union card, and though leaving the trade to work as reporter he retained the LT.U. card for some 37 years He served 18 years as viceâ€"president of the Trades and Labour Congress of Canada and 28 years as secretary and manager of Toronto Labour Temple. He has been prominent in labour circles but usually noted.for his conciliatory spirit. He has helped settle a lot of strikes by this attitude of mind. He has represented labour in Britain and other parts of Europe, notably at the League of Naâ€" tions and other conferences in Geneva. In 1918â€"1919 he lectured in New Zea- land and he has made similar lectm'c tours in England. He is a member of the United Church and was at one time active in Sunday School and Epâ€" worth League work. He is married and has one daughter, Miss Maxine, who. is credited with being a very valuabile asâ€" sistant in the recent campaign for the mayoralty. Mr. Simpson served on 'I'o- ronto‘s board of education and also 8 a controller for many years.
