Thus Haileybury might be tagged i\s "Bury" and Pembroke, "Broke," Hon. David Croll seeming determined to make the name stick Bm the case of the lastâ€"named town. _ At a recent banquet at Sault Ste. Marie it was noted that no two speakers appeared to have the same pronunciation for the name g_g_jhe clty of the toothless wolves. The Sudbury-star is as much surprised at the different ations given the name as at the fact that Sault Ste. Marie appears to offer no objection to the contraction of the city‘s name to the outrageâ€" ous word, "Soo." The Sudbury newspaper thinks that Sudbury is fortunate in the fact that its name does not lend itself to contraction. It will be found, however, that it is not the name that counts, but the disposition of the people who use the name. Given the Sault Ste. Marie temperâ€" ment Sudbury could easily shorten its . name to "Suds." By so doing it would undoubtedly gain much publicity of a kind, and it might even get 2 bonus from the brewery for the implied free adâ€" vertising. By the same token, Peterborough might parade as "Pete," Belleville would be "Bell," Cannington would become ‘"Can,‘ and Amherstâ€" burg might be known as "Am." ped as it was "Soo"‘ stuff. There was a time when The Sault Ste. Marie Star fought valiantly against the use of that atroâ€" cious "Soo." But gradually the battle was dropâ€" This name business is a study in psychology. It can scarcely be argued that the shortening of names of places is done to save time or space. "Niagaraâ€"onâ€"theâ€"Lake" is surely proof that neiâ€" ther time, nor place nor convenience count in names of places. And rightly so! " s a "matter of fact more time and trouble is taken up with these senseless abbreviations than is gamed ‘by the procedure. Cobalt, for example, wasa shoxt and simple enough name in all fgqnscmhce yetb how often do you hear the fervent Cobalt pi kf« (especially if he has been long absent from.tBe place) refer to it as ‘"Theâ€" Bestâ€"Oldâ€"Townâ€"L=: Know.‘ Then "Kirkland Lake"â€"that double- jointed nameâ€"is long enough and maybe a little awkward. ‘But look at the howl agamst the mmes NV 44 VY MA NA + gâ€"luv \Z No DWs M M ds PB PW P C fAilling up the. lake, though thxs would have given automatic excuse for the dropping of the "Lake" from the name. If the Sault Ste. Marie is content to be simply the "Soo", other places may perhaps let it go at that, but the habit is not one to be encourd‘: Bobcaygeon may ask to be called just "Bob," "or Winchester abbreviate itself to "Winnie." Still ivorse, "Wallaceburg might vote for "Wally," and so run risk of being confused with the lady whose other name for a time has been Simpson. \â€" isn‘t all that short. _ There is still.time enough to say Tilsonburg (not “.Tilliaj;),;.Kitchen- er (not "Kitty‘"); and Almonte (instead' of, "You know me, Al‘!"). Happily The Bowmanville Statesman can be depended upon to fight to the very last ditch to save the town‘s honourable and long name from being cut to "Bow," which like the Sault abbreviation might be pronounced to rhyme with "Cow," "Low" or "Yoâ€"ho." In the Canadian postal directory will be found several names beginning with "Saults*‘ ‘There is Sault au Recollect in Quebec to lead the list, folâ€" lowed by Sault a la Puce, Quebec, and: Saulteaux Alberta.

There are a couple of Nova Scotia post offices that start out "Saul" but break off there from beâ€" ing the "Sault" to a "t."

The article in The Star deals with the prosaic matter of letting the contract for the exclusive right to "prospect" the Sudbury city djump and salvage articles found thereon. The essful tenderer offered $400 for the privilege g#the year. There was another tender for $300, ;o it must be generally recognized in Sudbury that »ven the city dump has possibilities in a money making way for the enterprising and the indusâ€" trious. There have been few more interesting items in that usually interesting newspaper, The Sudbury 3tar, than one last week suggesting that Sudbury [ has a regular gold mine in its city dump. To those "If ph11050phical mind the article opens up a vast field for speculation and for the drawing of lesâ€" The philosopher may ask:â€"What of value may be found on a city dump? The answer is that much worth while may be salvaged even from a jile of alleged refuse and rubbish. Some years igo five boysâ€"the oldest less than thirteen years old and the youngest lxttle over tenâ€"ran away from their foster home qnd built themselves A home of their own on the Timmins town dumping zround. The walls were made of sheet iron wellâ€" braced. while the roof of the hut was of the same material. Inside the little hut the boys had a stove, a table, some boxes for chairs, and an orange crate for a cupboard. Thgy had dishes, knifes ind forks and spoons, and other home equipment, even to small carpets. @wry single item in that little hut, as well as the hut itself, was material rescued from the town dump. The ingenuity of those boys in making, repairing and adapting the vyarious articles they salvaged from the dump inâ€" dicated a cleverness and talent that some of those who took an interest in â€"the boys believed would make them excellent citizens of this new country once the talents were turned to right lines of enâ€" deavom The years have justified this belief, for of the five lads, only one has failed to develop inâ€" to a _splendid type of citizen. Two of them are to~day useful and respected citizens of Timmins wmle two others are equally helpful and esteemed resiflents of another Northern town. It was reâ€" ' the amount of useful things those boys '«géalvaged from the Timmins town dump. It is still more noteworthyâ€"still more pleasing, sureâ€" lyâ€"to know that four out of five of those boysâ€" %who might be said to have been thrown on the ':dump themselvesâ€"were salvaged from the realm $ bf waste material and remodelled to new and betâ€" ?xom the town or city dump may be salvaged ales of metal scrap, articles of discarded furâ€" mit’fi"fié“ toys and trinkets. Combining the parts of this broken and discarded stove with the better sections of another one thrown out; repairing this article of furniture; cleaning and mending these toys; saving this or that article from the dump heap; this is the work done by the man with the contract for salvaging from the dump. It may appear to be unpleasant, even unhealthy work. Yet it is useful, profitable. Of course, it must be done under careful supervision. Or abuses may creep in. But at its best it is good workâ€"a reguâ€" lar gold mine for the city, as The Star suggests. Still better, and more profitable to the comâ€" munity is the salvaging of the discarded material of good citizenshlip. Often on the material dump will be found articles in perfect order, carelessly thrown out because the owners did not appreciate their value or felt they had no room for them in the shop or home. In the same way the material for good citizenship too often is carelessly allowed to find its way to the world‘s "dump.‘"‘ Even after it reaches there it may be salvaged, if it is not allowed to remain long enough for rust and rot to do their evil work. Better than salvage work, however, is the general effort to see that nothing of value is carelessly cast agideâ€"that the "dump" is reserved only for what is krown to be useless and valueless. The community does well to spend money for salvaging from the "dump". . It does still better to keep the "dump" as small and as clear as it is humanly possible to do. ‘ E. "I am disgusted," is the comment credited to 'fion Mr. Hepburn after the incident in the Legisâ€" ;lat.ure where Hon.

Sudbury Star:â€"Commenting upon colice raids made in Toronto against cperation of bingo games in that city, Hon. Arthur W. Rogsbuck, attorneyâ€"genâ€" eral, states that bingo was «definitely illegal and that "the Criminal Ccode prohibits the disposing of property by any mears of chance whatsoever." The minister indicated that ‘the restriction was applicable even though the proâ€" ceeds were used for charitable purâ€" poses. To most mcoderateâ€"minded people there is no harm whatever in the binzo game. But, as in the case of many other things, the trouble arises wher the pasâ€" time develops into a craze. Both Mr. Moore and Mr. Dewey came to B,enfrew from points elsewhere in the Province, the former from Western Ontario, the latter from Central Onâ€" tario. Both invested their all in Renâ€" frew and were alike boosters for the town. They became almost institutions of this community and both enjoyed a large measure of popularity. Renfrew has benefitted from the citiâ€" zenship of these men, and by the comâ€" munity they will long be held in reâ€" membrance. Men will speak of them in terms the most complimentary long after their remains are "crumbled with the dust." saying in view of the fact that it cost $175,000 last session to print the speeches of the United States Congressmen in the official record. There is no proof of the respective cost of talk and whiskey until the figures are published to show what it cost the Congressmen for their liquor in the last session. A mayor of Chicago once fought an election in that city on the platform of aboiishing King George V of Britain. Now a mayor of HNew York seems to be making Hitler, Emperor of Geâ€"many, the issue for the city of Gotham. (From Renfrew Mersury) The town cof Renfrew loses much by the death of men such as William A. MJore and Charles A. Dewey. In one respect they were idertical. Neither said one thing and meant something else. Both were very direct in their expression. They were frank. Men such as these could not be sent as repreâ€" sentatives to a foreigr country with subterfuge the crder. But where frankâ€" ness and the open hand were concerned, as they should of course rule everyâ€" where, these men were of the proper type; they were ideal. Dr. Roberts, member for Sgult Ste.
