Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group It may be taken as absolute fact that the people of the North are "wholeheartedly behind a united Ontario." Equally true is it that they "desire" no boycott of Toronto business. Indeed, the most of the people of the North have a pride in Old Onâ€" tario, an affection for Old Ontario, a regard for the All this sort of talk is false comfort. Mr. Nixon did not suggest that there was no secession talk in the North. He could not well do that, in view of the facts. A formal resolution requesting separation of the North into a new province was actually passed some months ago by a Liberal party association in Northwestern Ontario. There has been talk about secession for months past in the North. Mr. Nixon did not deny this. What he did say, according to the official report of the club at which he spoke, as given in another column of this issue, was that "he assured the members of the club that all the seriousâ€"thinking people of Northern Ontario are wholeâ€"heartedly behind a united Ontario." That is a horse of another colour. In regard to the matâ€" ter of a proposed boycott, Mr. Nixon did not deny the existence of such a proposal. He could not very well do that in view of the fact that a resolution from his own home town of New Liskeard is now before the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, asking that a boycott be put into effect until such time as the South begins to deal fairly with the North. What the official report quotes Mr. Nixon as saying is that "there is no desire on the part of the businessmen of Northern Ontaric to boycott the business houses of Toronto." That. too, is a horse of another colour. ! A number of Scuthern Ontario newspapers are apparently seeking to secure comfort from the reâ€" ports of an address given at Toronto by W. G. Nixâ€" on, M.L.A. for Temiskaming. "Here is a member of the Legislature from the North itself," they say in effect, "who states that there is little thought of secession in the North, and the businessmen of the North have no idea of boycotting the industries or business of the South." | It is a common saying that there are two sides to everything. To the hospital question, the one side is plain beyond doubt or denial. The Sisters have done their part. Timmins and district have enjoyed for years efficient and neverâ€"failing hosâ€" pital service. The other side is that the public now should meet the call upon them â€"the first call ever made. The response to the riquest for funds to build a nurses‘ residence should be as generous as has been the devoted service of the Sisters and the hospital during all the years. There is a danger that because of the'very exâ€" cellence of the hospital, its value may not be fully recognized. In all the history of St. Mary‘s hosâ€" pital there has never been a case where a patient in need has been turned away. Whether the patient was rich or poorâ€"regardless of colour or creed or raceâ€"no matter whether from town or districtâ€" there was always care and attention and interest for each and all coming to St. Mary‘s. It has hapâ€" pened often that the hospital was full; that there was no room for even one more; but always the Sisters managed some way or anotherâ€"usually by forgetting their own convenienceâ€"to make room ifor any in need of hospital care. It might be well to stop to consider what the doctors, the police, the Children‘s Aid, the other authorities, the families, the individuals in town and district would do if there were no hospital, or if the kindness ingenuity of the Sisters would admit that the acâ€" commodation was actually overtaxed. Fortunately however, the Sisters have thought only of the need.. There has always been room to meet the pressing need of sudden accident or illness. "Hurry them to the hospital‘ has been an answer to all the emergencies of accident and illness in this town. and never yet have the good Sisters failed to meet the demands upon them. Published Every Monday and Thursday by: | GEO. LAKE, Owner and Publisher cA Subscription Raies: Ceanacdaâ€"$2.00 Per Year United Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year ~This week sees the opening of the campaign for ftinds to build a nurses‘ residence for St. Mary‘s hospital. While there is great need for better acâ€" commodation for the nurses, it should not be forâ€" gotten that the real purpose of the building of the nurses‘ residence is the supplying of further acâ€" commodation at the hospital itself. The Sisters at St. Mary‘s hospital have already given up their quarters so that needed beds might be added to the hospital. Those in town who know the poor accomâ€" modation at present for the Sisters and nurses can not feel very proud about it, but Sisters and nurses alike appear to be ready to make any sacrifice to maintain the hospital at its fullest efficiency and to see that no single case is ever turned away. But the building of a nurses‘ residence will mean the addition of thirty more beds to the hospital; it will mean better service to patients; it will mean the meeting of the needs of this growing town and district;â€"and so the Sisters favour the plan, hoping that it will be possible to canry it through at once. ‘Timmins, Ont., Monday, Nov. 9th, 1936 SUPPORT THE HOSPITAL menandme industries of the Sonthern »i. part of the province. But, as a matter of course, the North has a greater interest, regard and atâ€" | fection for the North itself. To the.hearts of the North, the North comes first. If the attitude of the South is indifferent, careless, neglectful, taking no interest except in autocratic way, then it will be found that the North, being very human, will haturally turn its affection elsewhere. In all this question, as The Advance has repeatedly pointed ear | out, the matter is all in the hands of the South. hm 1 The North is anxious to coâ€"operate, to be friendâ€" ; ‘ly. to progress. On the other hand, the North is _ | @All against being a milch cow, a goat for balancing â€"â€" | the budget, or a doormat for autocratic politicians. In other words, it isn‘t the North that is unfriendâ€" sn f ly; it is the South. The record shows it. 6 | A local contemporary in commenting on the high standing of The Advance during the past twentyâ€" four years,. notes that no other newspaper in the territory has survived for even four years. This is good history and also likely to be true prophecy. Recently when The Advance commented that the difference between Communism and Fascism was that the Fascist used force to support the government, while the Communist used force to upset the government, it was expected that the comment might stir up some of the communisticalâ€" ly inclined. The Cochrane Northland Post in atâ€" tempting to prove The Advance wrong has simply shown how right The Advance was in referring to the odd quirk of temperament that makes some people sneer at the Fascists and show sympathy for the Communists. The Northland Post bemoans the growth of Fascism in Canada, forgetting that it is the inevitable result of allowing latitude to the Communist. "There is a very real menace in the movement," says The Post, "a menace which threatens not the liberties of the comparative few ‘on top, but the great bulk of the population. It is a movement which, if it ever succeeded in attainâ€" ing power, would reach out into every town and village, every home." Thus writes The Post abouti Fascism. The exact words could be aptly used for Communism. The Advance doesn‘t want Fascism under any name, but apparently The Post would find no fault with it if you called it Communism. The Literary Digest‘s straw vote, like some other straw votes, simply showed the way the wind was blowing, which was exactly opposite to the way some people were blowing. Straw votes often show up the straw man. It is idle to suggest that there is no talk of seâ€" cession in the North. Equally idle to pretend there is no danger of a boycott of the South. The Toronâ€" to Board of Trade showed wisdom in being anxious about the matter. The Advance believes that all the boycott movement needs is leadership and direction to prove a serious and crippling blow to the business of the South. That there has been hesitation about giving this leadership and direcâ€" tion is ample proof of what Mr. Nixon saidâ€"that there is no "desire" in the North to boycott the business of the South. But there is a strong "desire" in the North to have this country, Ontario, the Dominion, march onwards and upwards, as it sureâ€" ly may on the power of the mining industry. There is a fervent "desire‘" for fair play and a square deal. The North will not be satisfied with lessâ€"will not take less with any meekness. That is the crux of the whole matterâ€"the North is determined to go ahead, and prepared to show its keen displeaéure of those who attempt in any way to block its proâ€" gress. Talk of secession and of boycott are eviâ€" dences of this determination. It would be most reâ€" grettable if they were taken lightly. They are not evidences of unfriendliness to the South, but rathâ€" er proofs of desire for coâ€"operation and fair play. The South can remove all illâ€"will from the minds of the people of the North by simply playing the game fairly, or half fairly. From the immense riches flowing from the North, from the great business going daily to Southern industry from the North, there should be at least a small percentage of money available to help the North expand and develop. It is up to the South. It should be remembered that during the past two years no practical interest has been shown in the North, except to step in with autocratic methâ€" ods to interfere in purely local matters. Solvent municipalities like Timmins have been ordered about by autocratic departments in absurd way. Of course, this may be a provinceâ€"wide condition, but the people of the North have difficulty in stomachâ€" ing it. On the other hand, the government has shown complete neglect for action in the things that really concern it. The roads have been neâ€" glected in criminal way. The millions spent in past years on the Ferguson highway have been prejudâ€" iced by the shameful neglect of the past two years. The excuse about balancing the budget is simply adding insult to injury, when it is remembered that highways and other public works in the South have received full attention. The thing that really makes the North bitter about the recent nceglect has been the fact that a little attention would have meant so much not only to the North but to all Onâ€" tario. It is generally admitted that the mining inâ€" dustry has been the most vital single factor in helping Canada during the recent trying years. Ontario‘s mining industry has led them all, and Ontario‘s mining industry is in the North. With justified bitterness the North exclaims: What time to choose to neglect the North!

That minute and 14 seconds was just the time taken by the truck to reach the box. From then on there was no hitch. The men on the truck saw the blaze from the ccrner where the box was and went straight on to the corner of Elm and Sixth, slowing down there momenâ€" tarily to let the hydrant crew attach the line. The truck continued on down the street, the lengths of hose going out behind. The remainder of the 300 feet used was pulled from th> truck imâ€" mediately and the order given for water.
