w es Al /\ Et a. se h hmd Subscription Rates: Canadaâ€"$2.00 Per Year Uniteg Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Yeat ~ These days there are so many Wwars and rumours of wars that the whole game of life seems to be disâ€" organized.. The sporting editor complains that the big league (no doubt meaning the League of Nations) is not functioning properly and that there should be some effort made to create system and order in the world. Now, there is an idea, proving that sporting editors have ideas. Why not organize war on as good a basis as baseâ€" ball or hockey? There should be a league in full control of both professional and amateur wars, with a residence rule, local and commercial lea~â€" gues, playâ€"downs, playoffs, semiâ€" fihals and finals, and all the rest. The line between amateur and professional should be as closely drawn as in baseâ€" ball or hockey, and any nation playing for money would be promptly professionalized. Such a plan would set a lot of the smaller nations in their place, because there seems to be nothing an amateur fears so much as to be professionalized. It would also curb some of the bigger fellows if breach of the rules, such as fighting without making money, should result in their demotion to the status 0f amateurs, for there is nothing the professionals fear so much as being set back to the hick leagues. Under the orderly plan outlined, France and Germany could go ahead with their battles, while the rest of the world went about their other busiâ€" ness. Italy and Abyssinia could fight along in their series, though one or the other would have to be professionalized or reduced to the amateur ranks. â€" Russia and Japan could go along with their series. It is likely that the United States would ask a bye. However, when the various minâ€" or leagues had settled their winners and runnersâ€" up, then would come playdowns and the playofis to settle the teams for the semiâ€"finals and the finâ€" als. This would give everybody a chance to get into the game, while at the same time it would avoid the present confusion and disorder. All referees should be from neutral nations. For the preliminaries, The Advance would suggest the premier and attorneyâ€"general of Ontario as reâ€" ferees. They might not be very impartial but they would be adept at making their own rules. And Ontario would gladly spare them for the duration of the series in the interests of world peace. One rule that The Advance would like to see enforced in the matter is that only the finals should be on neutral grounds. Hitherto the tenâ€" dency has been to start the preliminaries on neuâ€" tral grounds. Home and home games should be the invariable rule. This would give all a real chance to see the game. Surely the people supâ€" porting a sport have the inalienable right to see the game in progress. In the last big war, for exâ€" ample, if there had been home and home games, the people of Germany would have a much better conception of the finer points of the game than they have at present. It might be well also to have it distinctly underâ€" stood that any nation that did not care to enter the world‘s series was not obliged to do so. Great Britain, for instance, might prefer the game of football. Canada thinks there is nothing like hockey. Scotland has a right to its golf and cur!â€" ing: The land from whence came Thor is now more concerned with skiing and creamery butter. If the world is progressing, there should be some freedom for all. In any event here is the suggestion that war be organized on orderly scale. Until a better suggesâ€" tion is made, there is always the chance that a regular league would help some. It would have to be a‘league with power to hire and fire and enforce the rules. It is at the least much to be preferred to the peace talk, always so useless, and sometimes so harmful. Talk about organized war and a world‘s series may be foolish, but what isn‘t these days? F. H. Pickel, member of parliament for Bromeâ€" Missisquol; Q@webec, has brought down upon much denunciation and abuse because he stated on the floor of the House of Commons that the youth of toâ€"day are undisciplined and thinking only of their own selfish pleasures. Most of those who denounce Mr. Pickel admit in effect that he did no more than tell the truth. They argue that youth has always been wayward and undisciplined and that the protest of Mr. Pickel has been the cry all through the ages. Some of the newspaper ‘crities of Mr. Pickel quote from the words of teachâ€" ers and preachers and statesmen long since dead to show thatâ€"all through the centuries youth has been condemned and the future of the world desâ€" patmdafbecamotmeshortoommaotyoum ‘ *2’%‘% Timmins, Ont. Monday, April 8th, 1985 wHY NOT A WORLD SERIES? NOT FAIR TOQ THE OLD FOLKS t 5 NC > ~~Another of reason against Mr. Picâ€" kel‘s address on yout! ist:fi ‘oider méi\ ao not un derstand the youth of toâ€"day. It may be noted here that this also is a cry that has come down through the centuries. It has keen the reply of yout.h to criticism since the first days when youth dared reply. "New times, new ways!" is the sayâ€" ing. To this it may be replied that Mr. Pickel likeâ€" ly understands youth much better than youth unâ€" derstands age. Mr. Pickel at least is in position to speak with some knowledge and authority. He sees youth around him, and it is only a few short years since he was a youth himself. He knows the heart of youth from his own heart.. On the other hand youth cannot know the heart of age until it is too late. It is not too much to say that any misunderstanding is more probable to lie with youth than with those of greater maturity. toâ€"day compare favourably with the youth of any other age. It is true that they have had much greater advantages than the youth of previous generations, but against this must be counted the fact that their handicaps and temptations have alâ€" so been much greater. The youth of toâ€"day have serious problems to face, and thoughtful people will be inclined to think that they have not been too much equipped in some ways for the battle before them. They were born into a world when discipline seemed to be loosened. Parents and others often in the wellâ€"intentioned desire to make their path easier in reality added to their difficulâ€" ties with life,. In a word it is not so much youth that is wrong, but the presentâ€"day tendency of life in general, when too much stress is laid upon material things, upon ease and comfort and pleasâ€" ure, and too little glory given to the nobler virtues of industry, helpfulness to others and the pleasâ€" ures that come from doing the day‘s duty with cheerfuln+ss and energy. It would appear that Mr. Pickel is being criticizâ€" ed adversely for something he neither said nor in â€" ferred. If he suggested that the youth of toâ€"day is more blameable than the youth of other days he is worthy of all the condemnation that may have been given him. On the other hand if his stateâ€" ment was no more than that generally credited to him that he accused the youth of toâ€"day of lack of discipline and too great concern about pleasure, it is difficult to see how the charge may be successâ€" fully refuted. Had Mr. Pickel gone further and accused the last generation of youth of the same ill qualities he would have been on still firmer ground. As a matter of fact the undue love of pleasure and the lack of proper discipline are qualities all: too common among young and oid, and these real ills are largely responsible for many of the troubles in which the world now finds itself. Mr. Pickel will do the world a real service if his words stir young and old to some thought on the matter and induce some effort to redeem people in general from selfishness and the lack of respect for authority which is a form of selfishness. The critics of Mr. Pickel are right enough in one point that most of them makeâ€"that the youth of The town clerk of Goderich has flatly refused to receive or fill out old age pension applications without remuneration for his services. He takes the stand that the Department of Welfare of Onâ€" tario has no authority over him and no right to order him to take old age pension applications or anything else. In thus asserting his rights the town clerk may set a precedent that may be taken up by municipal clerks throughout the province. If the municipal clerks do not follow this plan it will simply be because they are bullied into comâ€" plying with the orders of the Welfare Department and are lacking in any provincial organization to protect their rights. There are few municipal clerks who have not resented the imposition of the work of the old age pensions added to their other many duties. A@@â€" O 4 The story of the old age pensions in Ontario unâ€" der the present administration is the usual Hepâ€" burn procedure of a.cting first, talking next, and then being forced to do some thinking. That was the procedure with the beer permits, the T. N. O., the Hydro and a score of other things. The government and the people were the losers because thinking was left to the last of all. In regard to the old age pensicns, there was an! organization in the province for the work. It was working with a fair measure of success and imâ€" proving in effectiveness as time passed. The Hepâ€" burn government, however, looked at it with purely political eyes, and swept the whole organization off the boards. That would have been a matter of folly even if another organization had been preâ€" pared to take the place of the one in operation. As it was the action seemed to precede any thought except political surmise. At first the intention was to place the local work of the old age pensions on the county and district judges. The Advance understands that the first talk along this line brought the Hepburn government word that the judges would not undertake any such work, that it was impractical and absurd to plan such a method. With the old boards rudely and crudely displaced, government attention was turned to municipal clerks. They were practically bludgeoned into taking over the work. Scores of clerks were heard to protest but were clubbed into submission. The Goderich clerk apparently refuses to be bullied. In this part of the North, where there is so much unorganized territory the difficulties of those wishing to apply for old age pensions have been greatly increased. Indeed, few seemed to know to whom to apply. Those who had been doing the Miss ibmr Embleton, ¢f Toronto, was a visitor in Timmins this weekâ€"end.

Something Not to be Missed on Wednesday and Thursâ€" day of This Week, April 10th and 11th. There should be very few who will care to miss seeing "Tons of Money" here. Not to make any further mystery of this "Tons of Money," it is well to say that the Young People‘s Society of the United Church are presenting "Tons of Money" in the basement of the church on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, commencing at 8 p.m. "Tons of Money" is a 3â€"act farce that should provide a happy evening for all attending. It has a succession of inâ€" teresting and amusing situations and it is presented in very effective way by the very capable cast of the Young People‘s Society. Harold Burt, who has had much successful experiencs in directing plays, is the director of this offering and Dave Lamb is the prompter, while Gerald A. Gordon is the business manager. Attractive proâ€" grammes for the event have been printâ€" ed and from the programmes the cast for the play may be taken. The charâ€" acters, in the order of their appearance are as follows:â€"*"Sprules," a butler, E. If the stand of the Goderich town clerk results in provinceâ€"wide protest against the government‘s attitude in playing scurvy politics at the expense of needy old people, then the municipal official at Goderich will have done a work of service to the whole province in standing up for his undoubted rights. The attempt of the government to control the town clerks of the province in the meantime should be taken as another reason why the adminâ€" istration should not be permitted further to carry cut their Soviet plans for the domination of muniâ€" cipal police.
