Â¥ TIMMIXS®, ONTARIO Memmbers Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontario« Quebe® Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"PHONESâ€"â€"â€"â€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Menday and Thursday by: GEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher Canadaâ€"â€"$2.00 Per Year It was John Philpot Curran, who said in a speech at Dublin in 1808:â€""Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."= John Philpot Curran in the vernacuâ€" lar of toâ€"day "said a mouthful." Of course, he was not the Curran, of the Sault, nor the Philpot lar of toâ€"day "si was not the Curt of C.CF. fame. History shows how true are the words of the Curran who spoke in Dublin. It is an odd fact that the most of liberty is lost when people are watching but not vigilant. Usually they are watching something else by special direction of those who have designs on liberty. At the presâ€" ent moment the people are being warned by some against the danger of autocracy at Ottawa, while the truth is that the real danger is much nearer home. Careful study of the situation in the last five years will show that despite the fact that the provinces have made more and more call upon Ottawa for finances and other assistance, the Dominion Government has made no encroachâ€" ment on provincial rights. All talk about proâ€" vincial rights being endangered is accordingly only so much misleading nonsense. There is grave danger, however, of the theft of municipal rights. There are examples to handâ€"no farther than in the case of Timmins. This town is outstanding in its financial position. It has asked little from the province in the past and received considerably less than asked. Some of the towns of the North have been assisted in years gone by but Timmins has been left to look after itself. Yet recently the province stepped into the picture and refused to permit Timmins to proced with certain public works here. Timmins is in excellent financial position and able to pay its way to the limit. The debentures that would be issued by Timmins to pay for the paving planned to be done by the town would not even be offered for public sale in the province. The paving is badly needed, very desirâ€" able, in reality an economy. The work would help reduce the amount paid for relief by the town. The town needs the paving and can finance the work. Why does the province step in to prevent it? Ask Liberty? Timmins, Ont., Thurs,, August 22nd, 1935 It is idle to suggest that towns must be curbed in their expenditures. Curbed by whom? it may be asked. By the provinces? The record of exâ€" penditures of the provinces in the past certainly does not uphold such a proposal. The present exâ€" penditures of the province assuredly do not sugâ€" gest that for true economy the province is to Re trusted more than municipalities. The same form of interference with the rights of municipalities is evidenced in other towns and cities at the present time. In the case of Sudbury the province has the excuse that Sudbury has been forced to default on some of its indebtedness and so has come more or less under reasonable excuse for control by the province. There is no such excuse, however, in the case of Timmins In the case of Timmins it appears like a wanton in â€" terference with the liberty of a selfâ€"supporting municipality. With all the excuse that may be suggested in the Sudbury instance for provincial curbing, it is difâ€" ficult to view with equanimity the fact that the control of the police force of the city of Sudbury is assumed by the province by the simple expedient of refusing to pass the expenditures necessary for additional men required. If the province presses its present views, then Sudbury must admit it has lost all responsible government, and is no more than a mere vassal of the provincial government. Speaking of provincial rights or Dominion rights, how much do these matters actually affect the average man? But in the matter of municipal rights any interference there is a direct assault upon the nearest approach to selfâ€"government that is left to Canadians. If the people of the municipalities tamely submit to the filching of their rights in regard to their own government in municipal affairs, they will lose the last vestige of actual responsible government so far as it touches them in direct and realistic way. Dominâ€" ion and provincial administrations after all do not express as closely to the average man the right of selfâ€"government â€" as is embodied in freeâ€" dom of municipal government. If liberty of muniâ€" cipal government is lost Canadians will find they have given up their last true freedom. | Two men carried a copy of The Northland Post : into The Advance office this week, and laid the} body on the floor. One was amused and the other | amazed at the vicious attack made by The Post| upon The Advance. The only apparent excusei for the attack seemed to be the fact that The Ad- vance said a good word for Jos, Bradette, MP.| During the past five years The Advance has said a number of good words for Mrâ€" Bradette and exâ€" pects to say more. The Advance has been, and is. more interested in the North than in any party | Obhe Vorrupine Abuancr GUARD PEOPLE‘S RIGHTS THE TOLERANT POST Subscription Rates Uniteg Statesâ€"#3.00 Per Yeat notice on merit. point a couple of mor some of those who hoy service given the pub for anything along t pects any sort of g00( ready to give at leas! good service is receive or fad. and Mr. Bradette has given good service to the North and surely deserves the occasional word of commendation. This may not please a disâ€" gruntled and illâ€"tempered officeâ€"seeker connected with The Cochrane Northland Post, but if his vitriolic pen is turned on The Advance it perhaps saves the susceptibilities of those who might take the savageries of that malicious scribbler at their ugly face value. Neither The Post nor the writer of occasional ediâ€" torials in The Post are worthy of any particular notice on merit. They may be used, however, to point a couple of morals. The one moral is that some of those who howl the loudest about the poor service given the public should blame themselves for anything along that line. If the public exâ€" pects any sort of good service it should surely be ready to give at least a little appreciation when good service is received. If it is to be established as a matter of policy that interest and effort like that given in the interests of the North by Jos. A. Bradette, MP., are to be rewarded only with abuse, then the public has no earthly right to expect anyâ€" thing in the way of faithfulness or good work. The other moral from the vicious attack of The Post is that those who prate the most about tolerâ€" ance are usually the most intolerant. Wrapped up in foreign fads The Post can never see any good or virtue in ordinary loyalty or fair dealing. It has no tolerance or good will for those who differ from its views. Of others those of The Post tribe demand a degree of toleration that would not be given by anything but a congenital idiot. Tolerâ€" ance in the minds of these people seems to be good nature for rebels, rioters, inciters to murder. But for those who refuse to take things in this free and easy way, The Post and its kind offer only a vicious enmity and malicious unkindness. In its recent article on its editorial page The Post left the impression that foreign agitators should have the privilege to use the most blackguardly and incendiary language, incite to riot and murder, under the name of tolerance, but for a North Land newspaper to say a good word for an honest, honâ€" orable, loyal public man deserves the sternest conâ€" demnation. * In its published article The Post mentioned the word "hypocrisy." No doubt The Post was thinkâ€" ing of the time when it prated about tolerance and kindness for the communists, and then turned out with baseball bats to chase the gentle communists away from Cochrane. If that is not hypocrisy. The Post can use its own term. Perhaps, The Post will call it tolerance. If so, all The Advance has to say in reply is that for narrowness, bigotry, intolâ€" erance, misrepresentation and malice, The Post‘s own record, blazoned on its own pages is certainly not equalled or even approached by any other newspaper published in Ontario. Two young men were standing on the street corner the other day. One said:â€"‘"‘Well, Pete, what do you think of the weather?‘" The other replied:â€""Oh, it‘s not so hot!" With the therâ€" mometer standing at 90 in the shade, it needs a knowledge of modern college slang to understand the meaning of the second young man. Recently The New York Sun was so overcome by the heat in that city that it gave a number 01 illustrations to show just how hot heat can be "With the themometer registering 108 degrees," says The Sun, "potatoes bake right in the ground. and wheat puffs on the stalks." A second illusâ€" tration was to the effect that "teiephone linesmen say the heat has so expanded wires that they sag dangerously low, and many paved streets are exâ€" ploding while oiled roadways are running into the ditches." The third illustration is the tale of a North Carolina woman who was astounded to see her thermometer register 140 while it was on on€ side of the house, and when she carried the therâ€" mometer to the other side of the building the bulb exploded. A middleâ€"aged gentleman (there are no longetr any old men) who was passing overheard the reâ€" mark made by the second young man. ‘This genâ€" tleman had never been to college and did not unâ€" derstand that when the weather becomes altoâ€" gether too hot it is naturally "not so hot" to the youthful mind. He resented the idea that a mere youth should think ninety degrees in the shade ‘"not so hot‘" in this North country. ‘"Why, say‘!" he spluttered, "it used to be so hot in this country that even the Indians would not have been able to stand it had it not been for the cold nights. It was so cool at nights that everything froze up and people were able to sleep and so got up strength for the next day. Not so hot! Why that young fellow knows a lot, he does!" So, after all the young man and the oldâ€"timer had the same idea. # 'MWNN'" Probably all these tales, however, are discounted by the case of a Timmins man who perspired so freely that a report was started that another dam had collapsed.

The child was badly bitâ€" ten by flies and was somewhat afâ€" fected by the terror of her experience, but otherwise was unhurt. A few days of rest and quiet and the youngster will be as well as ever, though it 1s doubtful if she will ever wander away alone in the bush again. Pauline wandered away Sunday afâ€"| ternoon from Crystal Beach, the wellâ€" krnown summer resort some six miles from Kirkland Lake. The beauties and comforts of Crystal Beach are attractâ€" ing hundreds of people these days and ‘ the place has a particular® attraction ; for family parties. Pauline was included in one of these family parties. Sundayi afternoon there was great alarm when! it was noted that she was missing and| still more anxiety when it was apparâ€" ent that the child had wandered away in the bush nearby. It did not take long to organize search parties and soon the adjacent bush was being searched notj only by relatives of the missing child | but also by volunteers. The provincial] police were notified and were soon At| Crystal Beach with large parties ‘Of | searchers fully organized. Among thei searchers were a group Oof 65 men reâ€"| cruiteq for the purpose by the relief| department. The whole area of bush in | the district was gone over carefully and systematically. All during ~the} search there was the fear that the child might have fallen into one ofl the many lakes or streams in the disâ€" trict or that she might have been atâ€" tacked by an animal in the bush, or’ that other mishap might have befallen : her. As the search proceeded through | Monday and then to Tuesday there was increased anxiety for the safety of the girl. To the first fears of accident was added the danger of starvation and exposure in the bush. Accordingly there. was very sincere relief and pleasure on; Tuesday when searchers found the youngster safe and unharmed. It was( true that she was frightened and nerâ€" Roscoe Johnson, arrested in Brockâ€" ville for the New Liskeard police, pleadâ€" ed gullty to a charge of false pretences. The accuseq man gave a New Liskeard garage a cheque for $110, in payment for a car. The cheque was no good, and Johnson was haled into court. Before passing sentence, Magistrate Atkinson read off an imposing list of previous ecnvictions, a collection which the acâ€" cused had amassed in a period of 20 years. Another sentence was added to his record when the Magistrate proâ€" nounced "two years in the Kingston penitentiary." Johnson is also wanted in Toronto. and they do much damage to the roads. Indeed unless the highway is paved it will be necessary to limit the size and character of the trucks using it, if the roads are to be anything like passable. The reports that sections of the Ferguson highway are to be paved makes the best sort of news. Every big truck coming here from the South seems to impress this lesson. Just returned after a trip to England, Magistrate Atkinson presided at police court at Haileybury last week. As has been the custom for the past month, cases from the three towns were heard in Haileybury. Worthless Cheques Results in Penitentiary Sentence There should be a new political party formed for the North with the one plank for a platform:â€" "What the North needs is a government radio reâ€" lay station to assure radio for the North, without monopoly or mugwumpism." i. passed forbidding trucks to use the highways on Sundays is an excellent piece of useful legislaâ€" tion. It seems to be a fact, however, that no atâ€" tempt is being made to enforce this law. Trucks appear on the roads on Sund}ys about as usual. The law should either be repealed or enforced.

A reader of The Advance makes the comment that the reproval of the character of the first group of "hunger marchers" at Ottawa did much good, as the second group interviewing the government were all personally of much better character. The findings of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police do not altogether uphold this view. One of the men in the second group told Premier Bennett he wa‘s in Regina on July 1st and was shot at by the police. The RCMP. have learned that this fellow was at the Barriefield relief camp from June 6th until early in August, and that he has a lengthy criminâ€" al record including terms in the reformatory, disâ€" trict jails and penitentiary. The sentences were for incorrigibility, theft, highway robbery, breakâ€" ing and entering and carrying concealed weapons. A nice type of fellow, but he suited the new racket he now follows.
