It has been said with great truth that the measure of the real civilization of any people rests with the degree of attention and kindness shown to those who are weak or powerless. The people of Timmins have usually shown the highest standards of this type of civilization. This is proven by the generosity with which relief has been accorded here, by the infrequency of cruelty to animals, by the kindly spirit shown in helping children, by the prompt and hearty response given to any and every apâ€" peal for the weak or the helpless. It is to be reâ€" There have been many recent comments in reâ€" gard to neglected graves at the Timmins cemetery. The very fact that some plots are given such lovâ€" ing care and attemtion make those neglected apâ€" Clothes make an ideal cause for worry. This is one subject about which nothing may be done, so no mean person can steal away your worry, and leave you bereft. There doesn‘t seem to be much that can be done about it, even by passing laws. Of course, there should be a happy medium beâ€" tween the girl who thinks she is fully garbed in a coat of tan and a sursingle, and the lady who looks cool in a long suit that hides her pretty legs on a hot summer day. In actual everyday life, howâ€" ever, there is after all little real cause for worry about the matter. Most of the girls look all right in the clothes they wear, if any.

What is needed is exposure of the individual cases of oppression or attempted Oopâ€" pression, as far as that is possible, and then by means of minimum wage regulations and similar laws to make such injustice more difficult. The student of history can easily see the immense forâ€" ward march that has been made in Canada and throughout the world in the better treatment of workers by the other classes in the community, Still further advance would have been made if there had been less of slogan and more of thought. The public, for instance, could soon exterminate the sweatshop by greater insistence on quality and conditions of manufacture and less care for the "odd cent cheaper." There are abuses and injustices in the capitalistic system. These should be corrected. They can be remedied.

The premier referred to the regrettable fact that when actual trouble was brought about the leaders sneaked to the background and left innocent young men to take the consequences. Hon. Mr. |Bennett said that he could name the "chief enâ€" gineer‘‘ of the deliberate plots to embarrass the government. This man had been responsible for the sending of agents to break up relief camps where hundreds of young men were living in comâ€" fort. It was time, Premier Bennett said, that the Canadian people realized that the Dominion‘s unemployed were cared for as well as, and probâ€" ably better than, those of any other country in the | world. Up to date the government has spent over $160,000,000 on relief, the premier intimated.. Premier Bennett concluded his interview with the | delegates by stating that there would be no further interviews for them, that the government nad done its best, and that that best was good. Many will feel that Premier Bennettt should use the inâ€" formation he holds to round up the leaders of the gang of malcontents who are living at present on the backs of the workers and attempting injury to the country and its people.

Some time ago a local man is reported to have offered to bet $100.00 that the dam at Frederickâ€" house Lake would collapse within a few weeks. The man with whom he wanted to bet would not take up the bet until he learned something about the dam. This man interviewed some engineers and others in position to know and was told that there was no reason for anyéfiollapse of the dam. Mr. and Mrs. R. J.

Others think that the most of the rules and regulations in reâ€" gard to motor vehicle traffic should not be enforeâ€" ed. The provincial highway traffic authorities think otherwise. So do the town police. The Timmins police force this year have made a reguâ€" lar business of checkingâ€"up reckless drivers, speedâ€" ers and others who break the regulations in reâ€" gard to motoring. Which side is right? Why worry, when it is a fact that accompanying the close check-up this year on motorists in town there has not been a single accident of any consequence within the town borders! Those who are inclined to scoff at any reference ' to the actual danger entailed by organized Sovietâ€" ism in Canada should read the despatches from! the West in regard to the theft of a railway train. Near Golden, B.C., a gang of racketeers greased a considerable length of track rails so that a train had to be stopped for lack of grip for the wheels. When the train was brought to a standstill, a group of men boarded the train, displaced the train crew and rode away with the train. Some, twentyâ€"eight of the criminals were arrested later but as usual the chief leaders in the venture made their escape, leaving their misguided aupes to face the penalty. It is all very typical of the communâ€" istic attitude and methods. \ | I | Then he returned to take up the bet. But the first man would not bet. This was considered odd until a day or two after when it was reported that there was a special guard at the dam. There was no further talk of the dam collapsing until the guard left the dam. It is understood that the guard is back at the dam, so all bets are off. There should be another investigation to determine why the dam was built so that it is only free of collapse when there is a guard on hand. It‘s a queer dam, or dam queer, or something. 14â€"16 Timâ€" ~42t1f 3p New Proprietor of the Goldfields Drug Store C. M.
