While the time and attention of the authorities has been wasted on an illegitimate investigation the safety of theé â€"public of this district has been enâ€" dangered by conditions on what is known as the "Back Road."‘ Last week saw a series of accidents on that road. Hardly a day passed without one OI two accidents being reported, and there were a number of accidents that were not reported at all to the authorities. Those using the road admitâ€" ted that they travelled it literally "in fear of their lives." The trouble on the Back Road, as noted last Monday in The Advance, seems to be from two sourcesâ€"one, the bad condition of the road itâ€" self, and the other the fact that there is so much speeding. The speeders excuse themselves on the plea that the "washboards‘"‘ on the road make speed necessary for any degree of comfort. Many motorists hold the belief that travel is more comâ€" fortable and, perhaps, even safer at a high rate oi speed than at a moderate one when a road is full of "washboard" effects. It is immaterial, so far as the safety of the public is.concerned, whether this idea is well founded or not. The fact remains that there is a great amount of speeding on the Back Road and that this speeding, together with the condition of the road, endangers the lives of all using the road. If anyone is shortsighted enough to suggest that the speeders might be alâ€" lowed to throw away their lives if they feel that way, the answer is that it is not only the speedet who is endangered but the most caretiul driver using the road.

A large part of the mobs gathering in the West at the present time are from Vancouver where they were disapâ€" pointed in their efforts to create more serious trouble by their demonstrations. There are peoâ€" ple who appear to be shortsighted enough to beâ€" lieve that these demonstrations do no harm and act as a safety valve. It is a mistaken conception. The fact is that the communists financed, in the first place at least, by foreign money have created ‘a gigantic racket that is fattening at the expense of foolish workers and causing serious loss to the country as a whole. "Why not let them parade?" Few people would bother to object to these alienâ€" led dupes parading, if they did no more than that. Even on the way to Ottawa, however, they are not content with mere parading. They are living off the people in the towns en route. And if anyone thinks that they are given food and shelter volunâ€" !tarily, then that thinker has another thought to it,hink. In most cases they are fed and billetted through a system approaching blackmail and terâ€" rorism. Nakina, Hearst and other towns in Norâ€" thern Ontario has had evidence of this in past years, while last year cities and towns from Toronâ€" to to Ottawa had to bear the cost of the mean \foolishness of the foreign-airected army ; of Imarchers. In many cases those bearing the burâ€" ‘den of the cost of these demonstrations can il] lafford to do so. They have no option, however, until the government takes a hand and stops the exploitation of the many Canadians and other British peoples in this country by a perverse forâ€" ‘ eign few. | where no defence is nonestly necessary, instead of allowing them to do their work and look after the affairs of the country as they have shown they will do if left alone. The Halifax Herald says that more often than not when you see a man selected to do a big job in Canada he is a native of the Maritime Proâ€" vinces. Judging from this statement in the Nova Scotia newspaper it would seem that the people of Nova Scotia are not nearly so modest as they pre in Auld Scotia, In Auld Scotia they used to be so modest that one of the first prayers taught to little ones was:â€""O, Laird, gie us a guid conceit stt seAAA lt se stt sls lt l lt l ut Je O GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLALLR stt se ce t P PA ult ltA DANGER OF ALIEN MOBS THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The Advance has made a numjer of recent references to The Porcupine Quill, the magazine issued by the Timâ€" mins High and Vocational School. Several articles from The Quill have beon published to indicate the conâ€" tents and that the magazine is well worth possessing. Copies are still availâ€" able at the book stores in town. Just as an indication of the pleasing articles to be found in the issue, the following is given this week:â€" 25th Anniversary Discovery of Porcupine Gold Mines (By Louis Guolla) The celebration of the 25th anniverâ€" sary of the discovery of gold in the Porcupine camp began on Wednesday, May 23rd, 1934 and ended on Wednesâ€" day, June 6th. Two weeks of colourâ€" ful, unforgettable pictures of the Porâ€" cupine gold camp, in its youth and as it is now, ware presented. This great celebration took place in the Timmins Arena (situated on Balsam Street, near the Goldfields Theatre) under the guidance of Reverend Father C. E. Theriault angq with the help of sevâ€" eral committeesâ€"general, reception and mines, The celebration was both a great success and a great tribute to the town of Timmins, which is fast proâ€" gressing., 25th Anniversary of Poreupine Camp The celebration was officially opened on May 23rd by the Honorable Charles McCrea and the Honorable J. E. Perâ€" reault, Ministers of Mines for Ontario and Quebec. Their presence was indesed a great honour to the Porcupine camp, especially to the citizens of Timmins, who feel proud that they can boast of having one of the greatest gold mines in the world. Their enthusiasm was clearly shown on the opening day, when they thronged into the arena. The inside was like a beautiful garâ€" den, for every compartment, small or large, was decorated in the finest bright colours; bright lights glittered everyâ€" where. The leading manufacturers disâ€" played their wares in a most effective and interesting way. Samples of their different products were given to the cnlookers. Grocery stores also mads beautiful showings of choice and deâ€" licious foods, domestic and imported But best of all was the display in the mining section, of the yellow ore which has made the name of Timmins a word on the lips of everyone. This section was organized by the leading mines of the camp. Mining implements used as early as 1909 were shown. They conâ€" sisted of helmets, candles, which were later replaced by the soâ€"called miner‘s lamp, drilling machines, dynamite caps angq various other gadgets, Only by looking at the changes in tools can one realize the great progress the mines of the Porcupine Camp have made. In addition to these displays, there were large photos of underground workings, crews of men and machines; there were pictures of the first Hollinger shaftâ€"and merely to look at it would make one tremble, it seemed so dangerâ€" ous and threatening. Out of that one shaft sprang the great Hollinger Mines. It is as Premier Henry said, ‘"‘T‘wentyâ€" five years is a brief period in a counâ€" try‘s history; but it is a long time in the career of golqg mining in this proâ€" vince." These displays by the mines outlined clearly the history of the Porâ€" cupine Gold Camp. Report of Last Year‘s Event as Reviewed in the Curâ€" rent Issue of The Poreuâ€" pine Quill. _While the souvenirs oi former days were being displayed in the arena, the Crescent Amusement Company‘s big midway on the grounds next to the arena was in full swing. It provided laughter, entertainment and thrills for the throng of "oldâ€"timers." One could not fail to see the light of gaiety and enthusiasm in their eyes; for olg memâ€" ories were being reviewed. There were competitions of first aid crews who demonstrated the use of first aid equipâ€" ment; there were miners‘ drilling conâ€" tests which involved the setting up of a complete drill. There were pieâ€"eating contests, bagpipe competitions and fashion shows. On June 6th the celebration of this twentyâ€"fifth anniversary ended. But in the two weeks the development of the Porcupine Gold Camp was relived. The history of Timmins is short, but eventâ€" ful; we, as citizens of Timmins, realize that: Why doesn‘t the government do this or do that? Well, how can governments be expected to look after any special private interests when it does not always look after its own interests? For inâ€" stance, there is the case of the railways owned by the governments. One of the most serious Oof the difficulties encountered by the railways is that of truck competition. This week a truck came here from the South bringing a big load of wine that meont for thousands of wWOTrK Try The Advance Want Advertisements "Mr. Chaplin, the People in the North Land who own radiosâ€"and there are many of themâ€"pay the same license fees that those in the South pay, and are entitled to the same rights and privileges. The North Land radio owners, however, do not receive the same service as given the radio public in the South. In the North dependence has to be made on inadeâ€" quate local stations and on foreign radio proâ€" grammes. This is far from fair. The answer is a government relay station for the North to make radio available for the people of this large area. The majority of the radio owners in the North will not be satisfied with any less, and under all the rules of fairness they are entitled to what they ask. "We live in deeds, not years, In heartâ€"throbs, not in figures on dial." "Enthusiastic over the possibility of the development of a new Canadian industry, Hon. J. D. Chaplin, M.P., former Minister of Trade and Comâ€" merce, and a prominent Canadian inâ€" dustrialist, returned to Canada reâ€" cently after an intensive study of the processing of peat in Scotland, Ireâ€" land and Denmark. He thinks Canada has in the utilization of this great natural fuel supply, of which there is an abundance in Ontario and Quebec, a means of providing cheap fuel for her people and of furnishing employâ€" ment for thousands of workers.
