At the opening of the enquiry into alleged charges made against the chief of police in Timâ€" mins, the Crown Attorney, acting as solicitor for the town, called to the judge‘s attention an editorâ€" ial in a weekly newspaper published in Timmins, with the suggestion that it was improper to comâ€" ment in the way this particular editorial did on a matter that was yet to be heard before .the judge. The judge took no action on the matter, feeling, no doubt, that the editorial had done no particular harm to anyone and had not interfered with the course of justice, even though it may have been contrary to the ethics governing such cakses usually. From the minute the question of the charges came before the judge, The Advance has followed the usual newspaper practice to refrain from any comment. When a question is before a judge, the public have a right to feel that justice will be done to all concerned to the fullest extent. To this extent, The Advance is in agreement with the attitude of the Crown Attorney, acting as town solicitor, in bringing the matter forward. It is well for officers of the crown to be watchful to prevent improper or prejudicial discussion of an issue beâ€" fore the judiciary. This is necessary for the protecâ€" tion of the general interests as well as for the digâ€" nity of the courts. The town solicitor, acting in this case, who is also the crown attorney, will further show his watchfulness and upholding of the dignity of the courts and the cause of justice, if he will now take some action in regard to the unfair and prejudicial reports of the enquiry apâ€" pearing in some of the Toronto and other outside neéwspapers on Saturday. These reports were apâ€" parently sent from Timmins, and so the blame for the unfairness in the reports cannot be all placed on the backs of the outside newspapers. The reâ€" ports are in many respects most objectionable. They feature every single point that seems to reâ€" flect on the chief of police, and conceal practically every point in his favour. This cannot be excused on the grounds that the favourable evidence came after the despatch was sent. There was evidence favourable to the chief elicited in the examination of every witness. One of the most glaring examples of inadequate reporting is the fact that Provincial Constable Pretorius is quoted as saying that he. reported to his inspector at Haileybury a suggesâ€" tion he said Chief Paul had made to him in regard. to seizing and keeping some highâ€"grade, but it makes no mention of the fact that Constable Preâ€" torius also said that he considered Chief Paul had. simply said it as a joke, and so he (Constable Preâ€" torius) had not reported it to the inspector or anyâ€". one else until a year or so afterwards, and then only when he was asked for a special report on the: police in Timmins, and after he had been interâ€" viewed in the matter by R. Allen. Neither do the Toronto newspaper reports mention that in answer to a question Constable Pretorius said he had told R. Allen he knew nothing against Chief Paul, and that he still feels the same way. Although the deâ€" spatches apparently deal with the enquiry up to the time of the adjournment Friday afternoon, there is only the mere mention that some police officers and town officials gave evidenceâ€"no sugâ€" gestion that this evidence placed Chief Paul in an altogether different light than suggested by the selection of evidence given. There is no mention of the fact that a town employee swore she signed a statement only after hours of tedious grilling and questioning, during which it was intimated that she might lose her position if she failed to give information concerning the chief, but that she refused to make an affidavit after consulting othâ€" ers. There are also references to the attitude of the judge in regard to accepting "hearsay" eviâ€" dence, the apparent inference being that this favoured Chief Paul. The truth is that all the judge insisted upon was the admission only of such eviâ€" dence as would be accepted in a court of law. Elsewhere in this issue of The Advance will be found detailed reports of the proceedings of the enquiry. It is believed that the public is entitled to an account of the proceedings, but that this account should be fair and unbiased, without omissions of material evidence on either side. With this evidence before it, the public is able to draw its own copnclusions. The findings of the judge in the matter will be given within the course of a few days. Until the judge‘s report is given, comment seems improper and unfair. In the meantime. however, the town solicitor, who is also the crown attorney may make an enviable name for himself for fairness and impartiality if he will direct thel attention of the court and the public to the highly , inadequate, unfair and prejudicial reports appearâ€" | ing in some outside newspapers. l Canacaâ€"8$2 00 Per Yo | On several ocrasions The Advance has referred to the good service given the town and district by St. Mary‘s hospital. It is worthy of note that it is Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association:; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association:; Class "A" Weekly Group Timmins, Ont., Monday, Nov. 2nd, 1936 Cbhe Yorrupine Abuants Published Every Monday and Thursday by GEO. LAKE, Owner and Publisher SUPPORT THE HOSPITAL Subscrintion Rates ESIDENCE 70 and the skill, the care, the mttention, given patients is known to all. In all the years no patients, no matter who they were or where they came from. have ever been refused admittance in their need, nor have any failed to receive the kindest care and the most skilled attention inside its walls. It was because of this that The Advance upheld the Timmins council this year in making a grant of a few thousand dollars to the proposed new resiâ€" dence for the nurses at the hospital. This was the first time that the hospital had received a dollar from the town in the way of a grant. There was another occasion (in 1934) when the town allowed the hospital $2,017.50 for meals to indigents, but in view of the fact that in the previous three years the hospital had given over 10,000 free meals to transients and others, thus saving the town from a burden of notable proportions, the two thousand odd dollars can scarcely be called a grant, but lrather was a part payment for value received. Outâ€" side of the two payments referred to, however, the town has given nothing to the support of the hosâ€" pital, despite the good service to the town through the years. The burden has been borne by the mines and by the Sisters of Providence, and by a few volâ€" untary contributions, the latter also being pracâ€" tically all concerned with the mines. It is idle to answer that the mines have to support the hosâ€" pital under the law. If the mines only considered what the law requires, the burden would be aA light one, but there would be no accommodation for any but miners. There is no obligation even to provide for the families of miners. The miners themselves pay by the month for hospital Service,; and in addition have been generous in their volunâ€" tary contributions to the hospital. But above amdl beyond any legal requirements, the mines conâ€" cerned, the Hollinger and McIntyre, have con-l tributed well over $100,000 in cash for the support of the hospital. The McIntyre has given a total of $32,000 in cash contributions in recent years to the hospital. The Hollinger handed over a partly completed hospital building that cost much money, and also have made notable donations to carrying on the work. It should be noted that all these voluntary contributions are made necessary beâ€" cause the hospital is serving the public in general without consideration of class, creed, race or standing. Conducting hospitals properly equipped and giving full service is an expensive proposition. The Advance doesn‘t know of a single hospital in Ontario that is giving the proper service that is not dependent upon outside support to make ends meet. In Timmins there are some who labour under the fialse idea that with the fees received by the hospital, it must be making money, and some sugâ€" gest that this money may go to the headquarters of the Sisters of Charity of Providence in Montâ€"l real. Instead of this being the case in any measure,| the truth is that a recent audit of the books of the hospital shows that since 1928 $143,760.00 has been contributed to the hospital here by the Sisters. This is the salaries of the Sisters doing nursing | duty. The government requires that they be paid at a specified rate for their services, but the Sisters have each turned this amount back to the hospital to carry on the good work of service and help to others. one of the bestâ€"equipped hospitals in the province ) It may be answered to all this, that the people of the Town of Timmins and the district have never been asked before to contribute to the direct support of the hospital. This is perfectly true. There have been no canvasses or campaigns Oof appeals by the Sisters. On a few occasions indiâ€" viduals or groups have appealed for funds to supâ€" ply some special need or equipment to the hospital and the response in such cases has always been generous. Now, however, the hospital board is makâ€" ing its first appeal to the people of the town and district. The accommodation of the hospital is pressed beyond its capacity. To meet the increasâ€" ing needs the plan is to build a nurses‘ residence. This would make much further accommodation possible at the hospital. Its present capacity 18 given as 75 beds. With the room made available by the removal of the nurses‘ quarters thirty more beds could be installedâ€"a very nmaterial increase. It may also be noted that the present accommodaâ€" tion for nurses is most inadequate. Indeed, the government practically insists on a new nurses‘ residence. It is in short a case of either building a nurses‘ residence or discontinuing the nurses‘ training classes. The latter plan would be a matter for much regret in many ways. It would increase the cost of operating the hospital, reduce the serâ€" vice, and also take away from the town and disâ€" trict an outstanding training school for the nursâ€" ing profession. The retention of the training classes seems almost as necessary as increased acâ€" commodation for patients. Next week the hospital board intends to issue appeals for funds for the purpose of building a new nurses‘ residence and increasing the accomâ€" modation at the hospital by thirty beds. To this purpose the mines have already signified their inâ€" tention of making very material contribution, The employees of the mines are already contributing their share to the maintenance of the hospital, sc it would seem that the general public may well be expected to give enough to maintain the hospital at its usual standard of efficiency. Circular letters will be sent during the coming week to citizens in town and district soliciting support for the new nurses‘ residence and through this to the hospital in general. It is to be hoped that the response will be generous and that the good Sistérs will be shown that once the need and the reason are known the reply will be all that they desire in their worthy work of service and heip.

It was understood that these mail boxes would be installed this spring. Later it was hoped they might be placed this summer.
