Canadian Weekly Nm’”u' Ameociation ; Onlarioeâ€" Quho ewspaper Association: Class "A" Weekly Group Oe Abvance When it was known in Timmins that the arâ€" ranffements and direction for the Coronation celebration were to be left in the hands of the Timmins Branch of the Canadian Legion, there was general satisfaction, because it was felt by all that the Legion would do the work well and the resulting celebration would be a credit to the disâ€" trict and a pleasure to all loyal people. Already _the Legion has arranged for parades, sports, fireâ€" works and other features, while at the same time the deeper significance of the occasion has not been forgotten. This is evidenced by the fact that the Legion plans a church parade on the preâ€" ceding Sunday, and this leadership will no doubt result in a general recognition of the more solemn features to such an event as the coronation. The Legion always appears to keep in mind the youngâ€" er generation and the newer citizens, and tifis is well indeed. It is fitting that Coronation Day in the Empire should mean more than just a holiday or a time for sports and fun. The lighter side }should not be forgotten, of course. The Legion will not forget it. But there is special satisfacâ€" tion in noting that the Legion takes the deeper view of the Coronationâ€"looks upon it as a historic event of vital importance to all in the Empire, and so worthy of sober thought, as well as gaiety. W. O. Langdon, president of the Timmins board of trade and the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, is also forward with a suggestion: for celebrating Coronation Day in a serious and useful way. His idea is that it would be an approâ€" \ prlat-e form of celebration to plant trees around the various school yards, thus adding beauty to the community and making a lasting memorial of the historic occasion. A limited number of acorns from the King‘s forest at Windsor are bemg sent to Canada for planting in this country as a form of cammemoration of the Coronation. Some ot these royal acorns will come to the Northâ€"to Timmms among the other places here. With fortune the oak trees in the years to come m be a notable souvenir of the Coronation celeâ€" -lmmon in Canada. Were other treesâ€"-trees from the Noith s own forest, or trees acclimatized to this ‘,@untry-â€"planted around the schools, there would in a very brief time be beautiful and useful suymbols of the celebration in the Porcupine of the An address by a college professor in New Brunsâ€" wick makes an eloquent case for that province. So New Brunswick may be termed as wellâ€"plead. And then there is a reference to that Mr. McGirr talking about British Columbia. So British Columâ€" bia can be noted as wellâ€"said. And all through the newspaper, any newspaper, every newspaper, there are references to the taxaâ€" tion in every province, every municipality. So Canada as a whole may be said to be wellâ€"bled. Well, well! But is it well? Reports of the battles in Alberta between Preâ€" mier Aberhart and his followers incidentally reâ€" fer to the financial troubles of the province and the fact that many people have deserted Alberta because of its financial troubles. So Alberta may be said to be wellâ€"fled. A®* article on Saskatchewan gives some idea of the size of that province and the distances between different sections. So Saskatchewan may be said to be wellâ€"spread. Troubles reported in labour matters in Winipeg, suggest that Manitoba may be a little, well, red, too. A fugitive item reports the story that there are no divorces in Prince Edward Island. So Prince Edward Island may be termed wellâ€"wed. The meeting of the Ontario Educational Assoâ€" ciation in Toronto reported in the same issue proves that Ontario is keenly alert in the matter of education. So Ontario is wellâ€"read. Another article told of the thrift of the people of Quebec whereby even large famiilies fare well for food. So Quebec is wellâ€"fed. Anyone with a similar dependence on words might read the newspaper containing the Ripley cartoon and say that all was well with Canada. There was an item giving great praise to the leadership of Premier Macdonald down in Nova scotia. So Nova Scotia is wellâ€"led. In his cartoon, "Believe it or Not," Ripley the other day told of a Madam Cresswell, who was born in Shadwell, lived in Clerkenwell and Camâ€" berwell and died in theâ€" prison of Bridewell. In her last will and testament she set aside $50 to be paid to the clergyman officiating at her funeral, stipulating that "nothing but well‘"‘ be spoken of her at the service. The clergyman, according to the tradition in the matter, earned the money and soothed his conscience at the same time, for her reputation was far from "well," by saying that she was born well (Shadwell), lived well (Camberwell), married well (Cresswell) and died well (Bridewell). Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO. LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: Canadaâ€"$2.00 Per Year United Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year Timmins, Ont., Thursday, April 1st, . ALL WELL IN CANA ‘s suggestion will appeal to many. Word from Europe suggests that the Governâ€" ment forces in Spain appear to have a better chance of winning the civil war than they have had since the trouble started. Several recent vicâ€" tories won by the Government forces, at a time when it was held that it was only a matter. of days before they were completely beaten, appears to have disheartened the rebels. The reports that Italian troopsâ€"were aiding the rebels appear to be proven, but in some of the recent engagements these troops did not appear to advantage. In some cases of retreat there is evidence that some of the Italian troops were shot down by officers or men on their own side. The first explanation of this was to the effect that officers shot the men because they were routed. A later explanation is that the confusion was so great that the men were A human skull was found at one of the Toronto city dumps this week. The gruesome discovery was made by a young boy who was searching the dump as seme boys will. The Advance is waiting for some of the Toronto newspapers to suggest that the finding of the skull may lead to the solyvâ€" ing of the mystery of the disappearance of Amâ€" brose Small. The claim is made that part of the provincial stirplus is due to the increased revenue in Ontario from the sale of intoxicants. If this is the fact it is regrettable. Taxes derived from too great a sale of intoxicants cost altogether too much in *he collecting. According to Hansard Miss Agnes Macphail, M.P., appears to object to there being so many "British" officers in the Canadian forces. There would be real grounds for objection if any officer of the Canadian forces was not thoroughly Briâ€" tish. Perhaps Miss Macphail is displeased beâ€" cause she feels too many of the officers come from one or another section of the Empire. It is too much to expect all the officers of the Canadian forces to come from Grey County, especially after the way the member for that riding has been talkâ€" ing against militarism, even condemning the School Cadets. Despite all this, however, Grey County has trained some gallant officers, who have taken honourable place in the Canadian forces. ‘"Northern Ontario has done more to pull Canâ€" ada through the depression and maintain â€"~our credit than any other factor in the country.‘" This was what Hon. G. Howard Ferguson said the other day when he visited North Bay and fraternized with that other enthusiast for the North, Geo. W. Lee, former chairman of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway. Hon. G. Howard Fer-‘ guson always took a keen and thoughtful interest in the North and any man who does that will reach the same conclusion as that expressed by the former premier. Whether the public deserves special credit in the matter is another question. It may be that the general feeling was that there should be no strike and that somehow or other the men and the railways would reach an agreement. Had the public shown a greater interest, however, the danger might have been removed at an earlier date. The weight of public opinion behind the men would soon have forced a settlement. In saying this The Advance believes that the public should have shown support for the employees, beâ€" cause the employees had so strong a case. They were not seeking increase of pay as some believed, but simply the fulfflment of promises for the restoration of former wage scales. The men were practically unanimous in voting for a strike raâ€" ther than to continue at the reduced wages under which they have carried on faithfully during the depression years. A heading in The Globe and Mail reads:â€"‘"Preâ€" mier Earned Net of $1,053,538.00." No, it wasn‘t Premier Hepburn! Just one of those gold mines that are doing so much to give thousands of people the chance to earn a little, and at the same time allowing Canada to "net‘" a little, too. _ From Montreal on Tuesday there came the pleasing news that a settlement of the wage disâ€" pute between 117,000 workers and the Canadian railways employing them had been amicably reachâ€" ed and danger of a railway strike averted. The strike would have been a calamity for the men, the railways, the country, and special credit and appreciation is due to those responsible for the settlement. Probably the chief credit goes to the railway employees and their leaders, whose actions and attitude all through have been most commendable. They accepted less than they hopâ€" ed to receive, less than was actually their due, to avert the disaster of a strike. To the heads of the railway for the fairness and consideration shown much credit is also due. They agreed to give more than they felt they could afford rather than risk the trouble and loss of a strike. Hon. Norman Rogers, Minister of Labour, and Premier King are also entitled to public appreciation for their patience, tact and publicâ€"spiritedness in continuing negotiations and conferences between the railways and the employees. There may be difficulties in the wayâ€"the expense and the work necessary. But in any event it â€"appear that the suggestion is well worthy of consideration. GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER s@ es «P d RAILWAY DISPUTE SETTLED _ Premier Aberhart is having his own troubles in the Alberta Legislature and it appears doubtful if he will be able to either talk himself out of the difficult situation or induce his rebellious followers not to talk him out of power. Premier Aberhart has presented his budget for the year, but because it does not provide for the immediate inauguration of Social Credit dividends, some of his followers do shot down by their own army but all by mistake and misadventure. In any event the incidents of recent days have put new heart into the governâ€" ment troops, while Franco‘s men are correspondâ€" ingly disheartened. It is too early yet to forecast the final outcome, but this much may be said, that there will be trouble in Spain for many a day. So serious is the enmity between the two factions in the country that even the end of the war will not mean the end of the fighting. ed and a vote later proved adverse. The majority in North Bay evidently regarded the measure much the same as in Barrie, when the questicn was uy here. Barrie Examiner:â€"Daylight saving is defiritely out of the picture as far as North Bay is concerned, the city council having decided that it "would rot be in the best interests of the citiâ€" zens as a whole." "Fast time," was tried some years ago and then [:anishâ€" "It seems that the next step should be to get adequate medical supervision in cur secondary schools," said F. L. Bartâ€" leit, secretaryâ€"treasurer of the section. The public was more inclined to take aavice in health froem "Hollywood beauâ€" ties and radio crooners" than from teachers trained in physical education, remarked Ray Spiers of Danforth Tech â€" nizal School. He declared he believed children had "as much right to know what is inside their own bodies as what are the products of Africa." Children could ibe interested in health through a study of anatomy, he believed. He had been "amazed" at the findâ€" ings of the physical examinations of the 31CO0 applicants for teacher training courses. More than a third had shown defects in vision, 5 to 64 per cent. suf{â€" fered from ‘heart troubles, 12 to 16 per ‘sent. suffered from throat and tonsil conditions, 9 to 10 per cent. suffered thyroid trouble, and so on. Urges Anatomy Study One per cent. of those seeking enâ€" trance in normal schools had active tuberculosis, and 3 per cent. of those seeking entranice in the Ontario College ci Educaticn were found to have sufâ€" ficient signs of the disease to warrant eâ€"examination at a later date. Physical Defects in Many Teachers Speaker at O. E. A. Would Make Radical Changes. Such a condition revealed that the present physical education programmes of secondary schceols were not meeting ‘he needs of pupils and more attention should l‘ze given this subject, he said. In reply to a questioner he declared it was his opinion that at least one period a day should be given to some phase of physical education. Taps Taken Out Children should not be marched from classroom to classroom "in single file like prisoners‘" and not permitted to go to lavatories, he declared. (In some he said, taps were removed so that children could not waste time washing their hands, although ‘handâ€" washing was one of the first requireâ€" ments in any health programme. More than twoâ€"thirds of the 3100 students seeking admission to teacher training classes in Ontario in 1933 showed some physical defect or abâ€" nmormality which should have been reâ€" ceivinz corrective treatment, Dr. J. T. Thair, director of child hygiene and public health nursing for the Ontario Government, told the Physical Training secticon of the Ontario Educational Asâ€" scclation at the cpening of its threeâ€" day convention at Toronto on Tuesday.

Apparently Premier Aberhart is ready to acknowâ€" ledge now what others have maintained from the startâ€"that the payment of promised dividends is an impossibility. Some idea of the actual appreâ€" ciation of the facts of the case may be gleaned from the information, rumoured before, but actuâ€" ally brought out in the Legislature, that neither Premier Aberhart or any of his ministers had acâ€" cepted any of the scrip issued by the province and forced on merchants and others by devious but highâ€"handed means. None of the ministers of the Alberta cabinet would accept any of the scrip as any part of the payment of their salaries.
