LAKE, Owner and Publisher It happened last year! Just before the year| closed The Advance received a letter from Toronto' signed, "A Group of Active Christians," and sugâ€". gesting that all newspapers were in a bad way and‘ unless something was done about it, there wpuld‘ be regrettable results. No doubt ot,her newspapers | received the same letter, because it\ was.. undoubtai edly a form letter and given more or less wide mailing. It is interesting to speculate on the rc-f ception that would be given to theletter in newsâ€". paper officés in general. It must be atlmxtted; with some regret that in most offices it would r¢â€" ceive only a cursory examinationâ€"and no pun 13 intended, though it may seem to ‘be there. â€" So: many letters are received by the ordinary news-z paper giving instructions as to the proper con:tents of a newspaper, that hardened newsggpermen find little time to read or heed such letters. <In addiâ€"| tion to this it is seldom that this type of leftem® 354 free from the suspicion of selfâ€"interest. Fle-; quently, the writer who objects to too much sport,.| or crime news, or war news, appearing in the newsâ€" paper, raises the question of his own lack of disâ€", interestedness by his insistence that the space. should be devoted to this or that cause in Whmh’ he has a pecuniary interest. The average ncws-| paper editor is anxious to carefully peruse evelyi letter that arrivesâ€"hoping thus to keep in touch with his readers and the publicâ€"but there are so many rackets of one kind or another, so many bids | for free publicity, so many apparent axeâ€" grmders' looking for free motive power that the form letter! seldom can expect much notice, even though it be headed like the one in question, "Of Vital Importâ€"| There are many editorial offices that force the time even for peculiar letters of this sort. It is easy to imagine the editor of The Northern News, for instance, or The Northern Tribuirie man, wadâ€" ing through this letter. What the gentlemen would likely say about the authors of, the letter and their colossal nerve would not beé appropriate for a family journal to publish. It is easy also to picture The Ottawa Journal carefully reviewing the letter, and finding much to amuse in its unâ€" conscious humour. Che Vorcruptue Adugure Subscription Rates 'mrr“i' The Chronicled News Bits in The Huntingdon the| Gleaner last week told of a native boy who applied ed. |Lo a newspaper office in Queenstown, Cape Proâ€" ws-!vmcc south Africa, for a position. He had a reâ€" ; is markable pair of jawsâ€"three rows of teeth on ost | the lower jaw and two on the upper jaw. What l t,o'an ideal lad for a newspaper office. That boy on-isurely could "make news." If he bit a dog, that nat| \would be a sensational item surely, especially for ea â€" ; the dog. this province. There is not a worthy cause, not a : crusade, but the newspapers give it emphasis and ‘ prominence. It often happens that evil seems i more interesting then good, but the better class of newspapersâ€"and Ontario is full of themâ€"seek to offset this tendency and to emphasize the better ! things of life so far as may be done without breakâ€" ing the mirror or turning the picture into a traâ€" vesty of life. There are newspapers that need adjustment of their attitude toward life and the publicâ€"newspapers that seem to believe that only the mean, the evil, the defamatory appeals to their readers. But the newspapers of Ontario and of ECanada as a whole are earnestly seeking to stress the constructive, the beautiful, the inspiring, and there seems little justice and less hope of any beneficial success for a "Group of Active Christâ€" dians‘" (from Toronto of all places) seeking to sugâ€" gest that newspapers in general are not doing : their duty, so far as the limitations of the case will ‘permit. \â€"â€" In one editorial in this issue, The Advance has something to say about a letter received at this ‘office. There was another letter noted in the .‘ newspapers last week that seems to deserve more ) than passing notice. This other letter was writâ€" | ten by A. J. Denne, of the advertising agency bearâ€" ' ing his name. Mr. Denne refers to the form taken .\ by the recent Christmas celebration in Torontoâ€" Jttwo deaths, a number in hospital, injury, loss, ‘damage, miseryâ€"all attributed to the effects o Fautomobile owners driving while under the influâ€" encecof liquor. Mr. Denne refers to growing pubâ€" lic:indignation at the slaughter of innocent peoâ€" .' ple through the evil mixing of liquor and car drivâ€" |ing. He fears that unless there is a change, the Ipublic eventually will take the law into their own hands and seek the rough justice such as the oldâ€" time Western settlers displayed against the horse l thief and the white people of the Southern States | showed to the Negro rapists. Then Mr. Denne refers to the desire of the brewâ€" ing and distilling interests and other concerned. with the manufacture and sale of introxicants to. have the ban removed against advertising o1 liquors in Ontario. He contrasts the advertising thus sought with the free publicity given to the Christmas celebration in Toronto with its deaths, injuries and sorrow. From this contrast he sugâ€" gests a lesson. "We respectfully suggest that an educational campaign be conducted by the liquor Interests to make drinkers conscious of the fact that Liquor and Gasoline do not mix," says Mr. Denne. He rightly believes that a series oOf mesâ€" sages to the public could be prepared that would arouse such antagonism against the drunken driver that "even when consciousness had departâ€" ea; there would still remain in him an instinet to let a sober person drive him home." Mr. Denne‘s open letter is addressed to those interested in the manufacture, sale and promotion of intoxicating beverages, including the brewers, distillers, liquor control boards and active moderâ€" ationists. All these would do well to read closely the message and heed carefully. It is no fall answer to suggest that they would be advertising against their own interests. Advertising the right use of liquorâ€"advertising to prevent the shameful abuse of liquorâ€"would be the most beneficial adâ€" vertising the liquor interests could possibly do. It would be in the public interests. It would have Of the Christmas cards that came to The Adâ€" vance office during the recent Christmas time, all were appreciated and most were prized for their attractiveness and the thought that impelled them. But there were two that for originality and interest secured special notice. One of these was from Dan Worden, editor of The Northern News, carrving a message from that editor and his raglm i PA â€"AL WAAA â€"APâ€"L L P DCA IAâ€"AC A L LAAA AL C P LA «P D P AP P PAAA tm o DPA L L L D 4 L P L LA P _A â€"AP P P us ”“Mmm‘ ‘ n seA * L l P """""”"“'m"-' ‘GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACLR; 4 a wide field for possible good. Indeed, this may be said as a matter of fact, that unless there is effort made to curb the abuses of liquor drinking. the temper of the world toâ€"day is such that the whole thing will be swept away. Largely through advertising, there has grown up a strong feeling of the right of all to the liberty of having a drink 11 they care to do so. The only danger to this perâ€" sonal liberty lies in its abuse to the injury of the public. The public feeling goes further than the demand that the laws of the day be observed. I1 is true that there is a stronger demand than genâ€" erally recognized along this line. Those who are defying the law are prejudicing all the liberty that has grown up in reference to liquor. But in addiâ€" tion to this there is a growing feeling that no busiâ€" ness can take a toll of life and damage without fair reason or excuse. Mr. Denne has not attackâ€" ed the liquor interests, but he has suggested a possible plan whereby they ma;y retain their busiâ€" nesses and at the same time protect the public inâ€" terests and safety. Well, if it isn‘t too lateâ€"a Happy New Year to All And if it isn‘t too earlyâ€"a Merry Christmas. ~irsarmir i â€"ie is P o e w m sw w se m > it ~at "'~‘“"W~ * THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE.

MacLean Building Reports, Ltd. 345 Adclaide St. W., Toronto, Ont. â€"1 To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins Dear Sir:â€"One way to prevent car accidents and likely some killings durâ€" ing 1937 would be to not allow cars to be parked right up close to the crossâ€" ings. They should be at least 50 f¢et away from the crossings so that they will not obstruct the views of approachâ€" ing cars. I have noticed several perâ€" sons and children step out or go to cross the street who were nearly struck by an Approaching car. It is a very casy thing to park cars a short disâ€" tance from the crossings and thus lessâ€" en the danger. Several people have been hurt, and some killed, as a reâ€" sult of cars obstructing the view. Yours truly, "Safety First With Cars, and Safety First With Fire." Dear Sir:â€"Another real oldâ€"timer of this part of the North has passed away. This time it is Charles Richardson, M.E.., who died in Winnipeg. Mr. Richâ€" ardson was in the Lightning River and Abitibi area during 1906, In 1907 Harry Preston and others who were on a prospecting trip came to a large log cabin near Ghost River, and there was a fireplace in the cabin. On one of the bunks in the cabin there was a book on mining, this book having on the inside of the cover, the name and address of Mr. Richardson, ‘"Chas. Richardson, St. Catharines, Ont." Two years later, Mr. Richardson came to the Dome Mine with other engineers and was introâ€" duced to me. I drew his attention to the book we found in the Abitibi shack.

Many friends in town and Gdistrict will extend sincere sympathy to Roy Upton, formerly of Timmins, but now of Kirkland Lake, in the death of his mother, Mrs. M. Upton, who passed away at New Liskeard, where she had been an esteemed resident for thirty years. Another son, Russell, also lives at Kirkland, while a daughter, Mrs. wW. H.

About 35 unemployed men, strangers in the town, were entertained by Rev. J. E. Graham and Mrs. Graham. Games, songs, music, a sleightâ€"ofâ€"hard exhiâ€" bition, and heaps of refreshments mads it a great nignt for the unemployed men, all of whom were. strangers to Kirkland Lake. In regard to the "eats," it may be noted tliat some of these were sent in by friends of Rev. Mr. and Mtrs. Graham who knew about the plan, and there was so much of the finest sort of food that not only was there enough ‘for all at the party, but n addition each man had a lunch box full of happy fare to take away with him. Not only did all the 35 have a happy time (after being braced up for the worst Christmas they had ever known, being away from home iand without friends or prospects), hit also they left the happy party with renewed strength and courage to face the battle of life. It is a safe bet to wager that Rev. and Mrs. Graham got as big a "kick" out of the party as the men didâ€"and that was plentyâ€"so it may be termed a real happy Christmas party.
