Mayor and Council the Guests of Fire Brigade «When more than forty of the Timâ€" mins Volunteer Fire Brigade and their guests gathered at the Legion hall on Monday evening for the annual banquet of the organization, they not only had a fine getâ€"together and a good meal, but they heard their virtues more sinâ€" cerely extolled than for many a yeaT, The mayor and council, guestsâ€"ofâ€" honour. brought no hollow promises of coâ€"operation and a bigger fire departâ€" ment, but every one of them agreed that Timmins has grown to the size now where the safety of life and proâ€" perty demands that more money be spent on fire fighting equipment and staff. Even the slight delay at the beginning of the banquet helped to impress upon the visitors the amount of work being done, for two fire alarms took away some of both the volunteers and reguâ€" lars from their annual dinner. _Bpeeches were brief and very much to the point. Under the chairmanship of Alvin Leach, chairman of the volunâ€" teer fire department, the officers of the organizations and their guests of the evening were introduced with kindly, t Â¥ MONDAY TUESDAY, JAN 18â€"19 2 Robert Montgomery and Myrna Loy in "A c’/’/’)”?’?’?’?’l’?f772774.17771’?7////40712777777./7?/(/?77./7?.1././7./7’./7/./1’77I./Ilu ayor Bartleman Urges that Thoughtless Faultâ€"Finding be Stopped.

Of the two qlternatlves, mcreasmg the power of the central station, or a new fire station in the west of the town (further details of which will be found in the fire chief‘s annual report, published in this issue), Mr. Bartleman seemed to favour the building up of the central station.

Mr. Laporte wasn‘t so sure the change from chairman of the fire and light committee to the finance commitâ€" tee was a rise. "I don‘t know of any more efficiently run department than the Timmins fire department," he said. New Chairman Speaks William Wren, new chairman of the fire and light committee, admitted that he didn‘t know a great deal about the internal workings of the department. and that when he had been in the fire hall that afternoon getting used to his new position, he had been asked a quesâ€" tion by one of the firemen. Before he could answer, one of the fire trucks and most of the men were a block away. "Anything the fire chief recomâ€" mends will have my serious consideraâ€" tion," he said. "Let me give you my assurance that I‘m out to coâ€"operate with your department in every way." "I‘ve never felt happier than now," began Fire Chief Alex Borland, head. of the Timmins brigade for the past 20 years. "This has been one of the most harmonious years the department nas ever had." For years he had been recommending apparatus, but not quite as much as this year. The underwritâ€" ers want 23 paid men on the Timmins force, four pieces of apparatus and a ladder truck. "The town cannot bear that expense," he said "but the recomâ€" mendations I have made will carry u:s along for a limited time." "Not a Town Any More" Just a few hours before tnere had been a case that illustrated what the department is up against. One truck had gone out to answer a call to an outlying residential section. Then an alarm came in from the business secâ€" tion. He, with one paid man and volâ€" unteers, had gone to the second alarm. "It didn‘t happen to be anytning, but it micht have been." he said. "We‘re "It didn‘t happen to be anytning, but it might have been," he said. "We‘re not a town any more, we‘re a city." On one of the longest and trickiest runs in the town, the department had been at the box in a minute and a quarter and had water on in two minâ€" utes from the time the box was pulled, the chief said. The test had been made by the underwriters‘ inspector. *‘‘We‘re never a long time getting there," he said, explaining that alarms were ansâ€" wered in Timmins more quickly than in the cities, because the box came in directly ~to the fire station and the truck could be on the way after the first "round." "The day is coming. when, if we don‘t put on more equipâ€" ment, we‘ll be sorry for it afterwards," he concluded. j Councillor Cousins, McDermott, Bruâ€" nette and DesRoches each spoke briefâ€" ly, Mr. DesRoches reminding the gathâ€" ering that the addition of equipment and men to the department had been one of his election promises and that after close study of the work of the firemen, he was wholeâ€"heartedly with them. ' Captain Morton said he appreciated fully the coâ€"operation of ‘"all the boys" and hoped for another successful year. "As our chief saidâ€"add more men and more equipment," he concluded. "Oldâ€"Timers" Speak "The oldest secretary of any fire deâ€" partment around here," Jack Morrison thanked his comrades for his appointâ€" ment for the 20th time to the post of secretary. B‘@ll Smith, now of South Porcupine but a member of the volunteers from THE PORCUPIN BE * 1914 until 1929, said that those were the happiest days of his life. PFire Chief Borland was not only "the daddy of the fire department" but ailso "the daddy of the boys."‘ "No better fire chief can be found. He knows the work from the ground up.", said Mr. Smith. Town Engineer J. D. MacLean, an-‘ others of the early volunteers, claimed the department couldn‘t get any betâ€" ter, even if it were made better. Do Public Service | E. H. Hill, third of the "oldâ€"timers" of the volunteers, defined volunteer firemen as "men who do unpleasant, uncomfortable work cheerfully; not for the remuneration but for the honour and glory." The majority of the pubâ€" lic don‘t appreciate the value of a volunteer fire department, but think of them only as a sort of militia or auxiâ€" liary. They really are men devoted to public service and are not mere helpâ€" ers, he said. | "Easiest HMHandled Department" i. A. Macdonald congratulated Mr. Wren on being made chairman of the fire committee, "the most important and easiest handled department on the council list." It would bring him "the greatest amount of credit and the least amount of abuse." "You will find that when people come to complain all you have to do is investigate and you‘ll be with the fire department every time." He referred also to Mr. Wren‘s Scottish ancestry as a desirable thing. "even if he did learn it in ‘Londonâ€"inâ€" the bush. " "The chief of the fire department is one of the best citizens of the town and the men themselves are a credit to any town. They don‘t ask anything unreasonable for they are a very fine lot of men and very fine citizens. In every line of community endeavour, you can depend on the firemen and the fire chief to give a ready hand to anyâ€" thing that is to the benefit of the town," he concluded. E.Copps, Paul Danis and Noel Arthâ€" ur, representing Timmins newspapers, spoke briefly, thanking the firemen for their coâ€"operation during the year. Recerving Charged Said, "I Stole Them" (Continued from Page One) to procure an abortion is now recoverâ€" ing rapidly at the hospital, Magistrat?e Atkinson reported, when that case was called. But the woman is not yet comâ€" pletely out of danger and it would be impossible to take her evidence at the hospital, he said. The earliest possible time for trying the case would be in weeks, he assured S. C. Platus, attorney for Mtrs. Beaudoin. Bail for Mrs. Beaudoin, refused durâ€" ing recent weeks because it was thought‘ it might be necessary to lay a more serious charge, was fixed at $5000. Byâ€"Law Case Blows Up The case of Ernest LaSalle, charged with peddling without a license, conâ€" trary to a town byâ€"law, was dismissed, since ro evidence was presented. to show that LaSalle had actualy done any peddling in December. The accused pleaded not guilty through J. W Lieâ€" berman. Emanuel Gcdin, who laid the inforâ€" mation, said he had seen LaSalle: beâ€" tween 3.30 and 4.00 o‘clock on Decemâ€" ber 14th, with "boxes in the car‘ and "two men working for him.‘" He said he had not seen any of them selling anything. Godin is in the peddling business himself, he said. + Mr. Lieberman attempted to get at Godin‘s motive in laying the informaâ€" tion but was checked up by the magisâ€" trate, who said: "All I want to know is whether or not LaSalle was peddling on this day."‘ "But," insisted Mr. Lieberman, "there has been discussion here. It has been said that LaSalle has been discriininâ€" ated against . . ." "I‘m not sitting here to try the gosâ€" sip of the town of _ Timmins," . the magistrate reminded hiumn. E. Chaperon knew LaSalle by sight and had seen him on December 14th "going off from the car to another house." He didn‘t see what LaSalls was doing. Mrs. R. Robillard saw a man who said he was working for LaSalle on December 16th when he "came and sold me some fish." Mrs. Robillard said, unâ€" der questioning by the imagistrate, that she didn‘t know whether the man in question actually worked for LaSalle or not. A Mr. Delanger said that LaSalle had come to the Robillard place in Novemâ€" ber with some eggs for sale but he krew nothing about any peddling done by LaSalle in December. Mrs. Chaperon said LaSalle had come to her one day asking if she wanted to buy some eggs. asked. ,“No." "Did he have any eggs with him?" asked the magistrate. "No," No defence was asked before the case was dismissed. Other Cases Jules Genier, charged with having stolen goods in his possession on Januâ€" ary 7th, pleaded not guilty. He was reâ€" manded for a week, owing to the illâ€" ness of Constable DesRoches who arâ€" rested him. A charge against Harvey St. Jean of having done wilful damage by pushing a motor car into the river was withâ€" drawn. He was jointly charged with Lemond Bastien but Bastien has not yvet been found. Henry Chalifoux, charged with issuâ€" ing a bad cheque was remanded a Three drunks were fined $10â€" and costs, one $25 and Elmer Conneéelly, second offender, $50. An assault charge, laid by a wife against her husband, was withdrawn Marital troubles had been smoot.hed over in the meantime. ng a week / some eg§gs. Did you buy any eggs?" Mr. Caldbick ADVANCE. TIMMINS, ONTARIO Government Grants for Relief to Be Cut Federal grantsâ€"inâ€"aid to the Provâ€" imnces for relief purposes will be reâ€" duced substantially this year, Hon. Norman McL. Rogers, Minister of Laâ€" bour, announced Monday at Ottawa, but will be maintained during January February and March on the present scale, Mr. Rogers, speaking before the Canâ€" adian Club at its weekly luncheon on what he termed an "interim report" on the government‘s record in unemployâ€" ment and relief during 1936, stated the extension of business recovery fully justified the government‘s plan to reâ€" duce its grants to relief. But, he warned, the exciting glamour of recovery must not blind governments or people to the realities of unemployment, nor lessen efforts to end it. Federal Action Justified by Business Recovery, Says Hon. N. L. Rogers. Mr. Rogers was caustic in his referâ€" ence to the relief camps that were closed by the King government last July. The camps had been costly, he said, in terms of human frustration and bitterness, and had provided a readyâ€" made forum for agitators who were given shelter, food and clothing for themselves and their pupils. In replacâ€" ing the camp setâ€"up, the government had coâ€"operated in public works proâ€" grammes in 1936 that expended $30,â€" 000,000, the minister said, and made employment for 40,000 men. Called Justified "I believe reductions in grantsâ€"inâ€"aid for relief will be fully justified by the extension of business recovery, by the marked improvement of municipal tax collections and by the improved finanâ€" cial position of the provinces," said Mr. Rogers. "But all governmentsâ€"Federal, provincial and municipalâ€"imust accept their full responsibility to reduce relief costs during the present year. | | "A supreme effor?t is still needed beâ€" fore we can remove unemployment and relief from the agenda of unfinished public business," he continued. And, deâ€" spite recovery, he added, he could not subscribe to some of the more extravaâ€" gant pusiness forecasts made at the beginning of 1937. "Reduction," he said, "is not going to be a pleasant task, but it must be faced with courage, fairness and a just appreciation of what is involved in a long view of social welfare." Raps Relief Camps Relief ca‘nps, he said, had afforded shelter to 21,000 men at one time. In their last year they had co=t $8,000,000. But they had been far more costly in human frustration and dissatisfaction. They might have been necessary in an emergency, he said, but they showed their danger in the Regina riots and the Onâ€"toâ€"Ottawa trek. â€""They were not work camps in the proper senmse of that term," he said "And they were not training camps in the proper sense of that term. For the single unemployed ‘they were a blind alley, a deadâ€"end street. For the govâ€" etnment they were an expensive luxury. For Communist agitators thy provided For Communst agit@ators vily proviucu a readyâ€"made forum for the propagaâ€" tion of subversive dGdoctrines, where teachers and pupils were provided with shelter, food and clothing at the exâ€" pense of the government." Time to Take Stock of the Relief Situation (Saint Jolhin Telegraphâ€"Journal) _ It lis about time all cities and towns with relief problems began to take stock of the situation. Why, in the face of a distinct improvement in business acâ€" tivity and total national income, there should be need for such large expendiâ€" tures for relief, is an anomaly which is puzzling both municipal officials and taxpayers. There is something wrong somewhere. and the task indicated is the seat of the trouble and remove it. Edâ€" monton has adopted one system toâ€" wards his end. Sain John is carrying out a houseâ€"toâ€"house investigation. Perhaps the two could be combined to produce more immediately effective reâ€" sults. At all events, the policy of wisdom would seem to be to get the relief rolls reduced as soon as possible to include only those unable to find or unable to undertake employment. In the end such a policy will be a benefit not only to the harassed taxpayers, but in the long run to the unemployed themselves, some of whom apparently are acquiring an unhealthy economic outlook by reaâ€" son of the system which has been supâ€" porting them.

(ompdre North Gold \Fields and Australia |â€" FLORAL ‘ TRIBUTES Harvard Authority Predicts TIncreased Production of Gold "Although we are dealing with a porâ€" tion of the earth‘s crust almost at our antipodes," said Dr. McLaughlin, "we find the major types of gold deposits as we know them here, reproduced in much the same way, similar in minâ€" eralogy, in rock associations, in sttrucâ€" ture and even in geologic age, if we are not too exacting as to precise correlaâ€" tions." Dr. McLaughlin described the similar geologic history of the two continents up to the Middle Tertiary period, some million years ago, when volcanic upâ€" heavals on both continents were folâ€" lowed by complete changes of rock structure. As a result, gold in Victoria has been considerably more difficult to mine than similar deposits on the Pacific Coast, since at ceriain points in Australia the gold deposits were so deep that shafts have had to be sunk to 600â€"foot levels. Famous Fields Compared Dr. McLaughlin compared the faâ€" mous Kalgoorlie district of Western Australia with Porcupine and Kirkâ€" land Lake in Ontario, since the ores are very similar. "But of course the comparison should not be pushed too far. Kirkland Lake, great as it is, has yet to proauce an. Oroya ore shoot from which 2,000,000 ounces of Kilgoorlie‘s total gold was recovered. On the other hand the lodes at Kirkland Lake have shown a regular persistence in depth which is rare in Kalgoorlie. It is still too early to preâ€" dict which will be the greater of the two camps when exploraton is comâ€" pleted. Kalgoorlie had the earlier start and more spectacular early history. It is now far surpassed in annual producâ€" tion by each of the two major Canaâ€" dian districts. Whether or not Kirkâ€" land Lake and Porcupine will ever be able to match Kalgoorlie‘s magnificent production of over 21,000,000 ounces is still proble:matical for even though the annual output of each of the Canadian districts is now much the greater, the earlier Australian camp is still active and by no means ready to rest on its laurels.® Still Great Treasures In discussing the future of gold minâ€" ing in the two continents, Dr. [Mcâ€" Laughlin told his audience that the currert revival of output of lode mines in southeastern Australia ard on the Pacific Coast, is likely to be merely a local peak on a declining curve, and the chances for major discoveries seem poor. "On each continent, however, a tremendous treasure of go‘ld is unrdoubiâ€" edly still concealed in the Tertiary channelsâ€"but under conditions too unâ€" favourable for the prospector or miner to offer much hope for successful operâ€" ations on a scale likely to attract wide attention." The more extensive shield area, on the other hand, according to Dr. Mcâ€" Laughlin, has even greater heights to reach.

E. W. McBride, statistician of the Abiâ€" tibi Power and Paper Company, Limiltâ€" ed, who announces that experimeniation is in progress in an effort to learn just how the wood may be used in the manâ€" ufacture of newsprint. (From Sudbury Star) The possibility that one of Northern Ontario‘s most plentiful of woods, the jackpine, may yet be used for someâ€" thing more than fuel, is suggested by Research Work May Make Jackpine of More V alue Naturally the North Ccuntry will be much interested in the outcome of these tests, sincve newsptint is the chielf product of the forests, and comes prinâ€" cipally from spruce, for which it is now necessary to go farther afield than was the case a decade ago. In experimenting with jackpine the paper companies are giving thought to the possibility of the spruce being exhausted, perhaps to the reported danger from the spruce sawâ€" fly, said to be at work in the eastern part of the Dominion, and to the deâ€" sirability of using wood that is near home. The availability jackpine would of course postpone the day when the paper companies would have to go still farther afield for their supplies. Since research has worked wonders in many industries, it is felt there is a strong ‘possibility «+that something tangible may come from the experiâ€" ments. The separation of nickel from copper in the Sudbury ores looked like a hopeless proposition at one time, but the problem was overcome. When the Great War ended and the demand for nickel fell off almost to nothing, it was the research experts of The Internaâ€" tional Nickel who saved the day for the industry and discovered through exâ€" periments thousands of new uses for the metal, until toâ€"day nickel is indisâ€" pensable in its application in peacelime fields throughout the world. What has been accomplished with reâ€" spect to nickel and other lines of reâ€" search may well be possible in the matâ€" ter of jackpine. Government agencies, as well as the paper companies, have been seeking a wider use for the wood and betweer the two it would not be surprising if it were found to have conâ€" siderable more value than lheretofore attributed to it. The farmers who sell to the pulp ard paper companies stand to be among the principal beneficiaries if a measure of success is met in the present tests.
