Some Toronto'newspapers have been condemnâ€" ed recently for publicity given to ideas and opinâ€" ions in regard to a case before the courts. A man was arrested on a charge of murder and it appearâ€" ed as if he was given immediate trial by newsâ€" papers that turned their columns into a sort of eourt where the guilt and innocence of the accusâ€" ed were argued at great length and with much In the growth of life insurance business in Canada during the past sixteen years there is no doubt of the large part that has been played by the institutional advertising. If any proof of this were needed it would be found in the portfolio of the publicity used this year, which The Advance has just received from the Canadian Life Insurâ€" ance Officers‘ Association. With this portfolio has come notification that this educational publicity has been further extended to include Class "A" Weeklies of Canada, and in 1936 these messages will be published in this district through the columns of The Advance. For many years past The Advance has carried the advertising of the leading insurance companies of Canada in their individual stories to the public. In the coming year the general institutional advertising of Canâ€" adian life insurance will be added. The Advance appreciates the recognition thus given to the town and rural communities by the placing of this inâ€" stitutional programme and takes justifiable pleasâ€" ure in being included in this progressive and pubâ€" licâ€"spirited effort by the life insurance companies of Canada who have through the years served the people so ably and so well. l Some fault has been found with the banks beâ€" cause they have failed to take the public into their confidence. This failure on occasion no doubt has resulted to the detriment of the standing of the banks in public estimation. It has given opâ€" portunity for the thoughtless agitator and the selfâ€"seeking demagogue to score at the expense of the banks. The life insurance companies have avoided this pitfall. For sixteen years they have been keeping the public fully informed on all phases of the life insurance business and its effects on the public welfare. The institutional cam-l paign launched by the life insurance companies some sixteen years ago has proved of the greatest value not only to the life insurance companies but to Canada as a whole. Year after year the imâ€" portance of life insurance has been emphasized. and the facts have been given and repeated until toâ€"day the public has a full grasp of the democraâ€" tic character of life insurance and the vital part it may play in the welfare of the individual and the nation. The Advance would not belittle in any way the notable service given Canada by the chartered banks during the depression. That service, inâ€" deed, is not as generally recognized as it should be. The strength of Canadian banks and the excelâ€" lent management of these institutions has been of great value indeed to Canada. But special conâ€" sideration should also be given to the record of the life insurance companies. This record is probably unique in the history of any countryâ€" the highest form of skill and success in the busiâ€" ness being allied to a very evident determination. to serve the public and the country in the best way. | in the country to the South. The part played by the life insurance companies, however, is even more worthy of note. Life insurance compznies in the United States and in other countries fell victims to the depression the same as other finanâ€" cial concerns. But in Canada there was not a single case of a life insurance company in anyv difficulties. There are over 3,500,000 policy holdâ€" ers in Canada, with over $6,000,000,000 insurance in force. In the administration of this immense! estate, the life insurance companies have shownl not only the greatest regard for their trust, but they have also evidenced such outstanding ability and knowledge of their business that every policy obligation has been promptly observed, every claim paid one hundred cents on the dollar and without delay. During the five years of the deâ€" pression over $800,000,000 has been paid out by the life insurance companies of Canada in the payâ€" ments for claims and other obligations. Literally thousands of people have been able to avoid pubâ€" lic relief through their interests in life insurance policies, and this, of course, is in addition to the protection afforded wives and families through life insurance in force. On several occasions during the years of the deâ€" pression The Advance took cccasion to refer to the value to the people of the Canadian life insurâ€" ance companies. There was a very general tendâ€" ency to boast oi the stability of Canada‘s charterâ€" ed banks. With thousands of United States banks closing their doors with loss to the depositors and the country alike?! Canada did not have a single bank failure. No doubt this was a vital factor in allowing Canada to weather the economic storm so well and to meet recovery so much sooner than Canadaâ€"$2.00 Per Year Timmins, Ont., TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association: Ontarioâ€" Quebe: Newspaper Association:; Class "A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26â€"-â€"â€"â€"-â€"-PHONE8â€"â€"-â€"-RESIDENCE 70 SENSATIONAL NEWSPAPERS Ee Horrupine Aduanrr ONE OF‘CANADA‘S BULWARKs Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: Uniteq Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year | l It is a compliment to Canadian newspapers that most of them are giving less space to the trial now in progress at Pembroke than is offered by a numâ€" ber of United States newspapers far from the scene of action. It is interesting to note that while The Pembroke Standardâ€"Observer covers two days of the trial in very complete and compreâ€" hensive way in approximately two columns of reâ€" strained but effective reporting, some United States newspapers are devoting column after _column to each session of the court, making much of the unsavoury details being given. The sensaâ€" tional newspapers feature the murder as the reâ€" sult of an overwhelming love affair between the two now charged with murdering the brother of one and the husband of the other. The Pembroke newspaper simply gives vivid glimpses of the testimony of witnesses to tell the true story. One doctor said he knew the youth accused of killing his brother. "Heis boyish. He has not the brains of an individual of his size or age. His actions always impressed me as those of a boy of possibly eight or ten years of age," said the doctor. The doctor, however, added that he believed the acâ€" cused could realize that he was doing wrong in shooting his brother. The sensational newspapers see in the story of the trial a lurid account of a‘ crime of passion and jealousy. The truth, as; suggested by the Pembroke newspaper‘s account, appears to be a particularly sordid story of a crime, where weakmindedness may prove the determin-‘:. ing factor. J The Toronto mayor and board of control last week refused to appropriate an additional $100,000 to provide special Christmas cheer for those on reâ€" lief. The mayor and council felt that any special Christmas cheer might safely be left to the various organizations in the city who make a specialty of looking after special Christmas cheer for the needy. In any event the city of Toronto may well feel that as it plays Santa Claus all the rest of the year to a large part of its population, it may well leave the special Christmas cheer to old Santa Claus himself. With the electionsâ€"provincial, Dominion and municipalâ€"now out of the way, the people ought to be able to settle down to the real business of life, and do their Christmas shopping early. | GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER There is some talk of abolishing the license fees | for radios in Canada. At first thought the sugâ€" ‘ gestion may meet with hearty approval, but | thoughtful radio owners will not be so ready to concur. The fact of the matter is that radio ownâ€" ers have not complained of the license fee, but rather of the fact that they have been recelving nothing in return. The average radio ownerl would be quite ready to pay the present fee, or even an increased fee, provided he received some fair value for his money. The truth is that in many parts of Ontario radio owners have had lit@le right to object to the license fee. They have been| receiving big value for their money. Here in the North, however, the case has been different. For the thousands of dollars collected in this part of the North each year from radio owners there has been no adequate return in service. Were a govâ€" ernment radio relay station established someâ€" where in the North to assure radio owners oppor-‘ tunity to hear radio programmes here it would be foungd that there would be little complaint about radio license fees. Radio owners in the North are not after something for nothing, but there is naâ€" turally very strong objection to pay a license fee for less than nothing in return. All Canadians who believe in British principles and practice will regret any tendency to introduce into Canada any United States methods that have been proven directly subversive of fairplay. The public, however, does not need to stop at regret. They have the matter in their own hands. Any tendency to unfair practices on the part of newsâ€" papers large or small may easily be made unpopuâ€" lar and unprofitable by the right public attitude. Time and again the Canadian public has shown its dislike for the unfair and the illegal, and that is largely the reason why the hysterical and sensaâ€" tional newspaper so well known in the United States is a failure in Canada. unfairness to the unfortunate victim of the hy-l en Nok ELk sterical newspapers.

ASK VALUE FOR FEES THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO S,. Reid, one of the wellâ€"known oldâ€" time prospectors of the Porcupine, plans the organization of a syndicate to develop a group of claims southeast of the Jowseyâ€"Denton property in Denâ€" tin township. There are 22 claims in the group, with the first year‘s work done on all of them, and Mr. Reid beâ€" ' lieves that a syndicate would find it a very profitable piece of work to finance further work and prepare for the deâ€" velopment of the property into a mine. l The work already done on the property has been more than encouraging. The location of the property is excellent, | !while the geology indicates the best‘ possible chances for a gold mine. Surâ€" . face assays show gold, with better asâ€" says below. For instance one assay from samples taken two feet below the surâ€" face gave $1.40 in gold, while an assa y at three feet down showed $1.75. Work has been done on several veins on the property, the ore body being uncovered on cne vein for a width of 70 feet. Another vein has been uncovered to a width of 20 feet, with equally promising results. In the work on the claims it is interesting to note that 75 per cent. of the minerals usually associated with Planning Syndicate for Denton Group S.
