a writer with the faculty for presenting a Ccase in attractive and effective way, so it was not surprisâ€" ing that a tnan with his desire for service of the public and his appreciation of the power of a wellâ€" conducted newspaper should reâ€"enter theâ€"publishâ€" ing business in the interéests of the community in which he lived. It was for this reason that The New Liskeard Speaker was est;ablxshed For over thirty years that able newspaper, under the direcâ€" tion first of Mr. Stephenson, and then with the aid ‘of Ris son and other members of the family, and mofée recently through the talent of the son, has beén a gifted servant of the peOple of Temiskamâ€" ing, keeping their interests foremost and workmg thzough good and ill report for the advantage and the progress of the people of the district: The Neéw. Liskeard Speaker has been a power in the landaâ€"â€" a power for good. ' It is doubtful if mere length of years isâ€"desiraple for its own sake. But a long life full of service and: good deeds, like that of E. F. Stephenson is someâ€" thing altogether worth while. It is a good thing to seek the secret of such a life. On the negamve side it is easy to say that it is not work that kills, for Mr. and Mrs. Stephenson have beewu known for their unflagging industry and effort.â€"It.is inof : a little hardship that destroys, for the Stephensons have pioneered in a new and difficult countrf:?:()i‘t the positive sige it must be admitted that love of the outdoors, with all its wealth of healthâ€"giving, sustains body and mind through the years. It was an illuminating fact that when a representative of The Advance called on E. F. Stephenson last week it was to find him busy in his garden among his beautiful flowers. For years his garden has been famous in New Liskeard and has helped to make New Liskeard famous. Mr. Stephenson did muth indeed to foster a love of flowers in this North. For years he kept a garden, and now that garden sustains him. It is pleasant and approâ€" priate to keep the picture of this gallant gentleâ€" man of ninetyâ€"two in his garden.. After a busy and eventful life, he rests in contentmentâ€"in his garden. It, is a fitting last chapter to a long life of service and of enterprise, On his arrival at London, England, for the Coroâ€" nation Hon. R. B.

MAY SET A NEW FASHION LIVES WORTH HONOURING _ The Halifax Herald suggests that stenographers are as good, or better, than school teachers, and that they should receive as good salaries. Of course some stenographers are as good or better than some teachers, and to this extent there may be something in the contention of the Halifax newspaper. It should not be forgotten, however, that the true function of the school teacher is of greater importance to the country than that of the stenographer. The stenographer is often a vital keynote in a business. On the ability and deâ€" votion of the teacher, however, depends the future of every business and the welfare and progress of the nation. The able stenographer is worth a good salary. The good school teacher is invaluable. The stenographer dealing with valuable business affairs should assuredly be paid a high salary. But the school teacher, moulding and directing what is supposed to be the most valued asset of this counâ€" tryâ€"its childrenâ€"should be given no lesser place either in salary or appreciation. There is probability of an election in the proâ€" vince of Alberta. In case the election actually is declared in the near future, it is said that there will be no less than eight more or less important parâ€" ties in the battle. ~These will include the Aberhart ocial Credit party, the Insurgent Social Credit party, the Liberals, the Conservatives, C. C. F., United Farmers, Communists and the People‘s League. <a«Speaking at a service club luncheon Barrie recently Dr. J. Edgar /Williams made the startling statement that from 15 to 2G per cent. of the Â¥hitdren who are crippled toâ€"day in Ontario owe théir unfortunate, condition to injuries sustained in motor accidents. It is doubtful if there could be:a more impressive argument for careful driving than that single statement. What ‘normal man would take the risk of crippling a child? _ Speed and carelessness will surely seem poor things, inâ€" ,gfl@'d‘,‘.*when the picture also includes a preâ€"view *#s it were, of more crippled children. This is tree planting time in Timmins. The Holâ€" linger is, planting five hundred trees on the grounds E‘of the Hollinger Park. The Timmins Horticultural Society intends to plant 200 or 300 trees on resiâ€" dential streets in the town,/of Timmins. If there was any business place in Timmins that was not decorated for Coronation Day it certainly would be isolated among all the happy places beâ€" decked with fiags and bunting and loyal designs of one kind or another. A few places attracted attention by seeming to lack decorations outside, but a glance at the windows or the interiors in these cases showed effective and impressive patâ€" riotic displays. All the absence of flags and buntâ€" ing on the outside meant was not that the people lacked loyalty to the Empire but that they had little faith in the weather in this part of the Comâ€" monwealth of Nations. Asâ€"noted in The Advance in a recent issue, Timâ€" -mtns"'has 1,500 registered unemployed. This is an mexease of 487 over the same period last year. Transients would do well to note this fact and not rush in here to add to the number without work or the probable chance of work. "Mow is it that The Advance gives so much space to inconsequential details in this article?" some one may ask. The reply is that it is not decided whether the Collingwood young lady was murdered before she died or at some other time, or. otherwise, Motion picture actors and actresses are reported as voting to go on strike. HoWw can they quit acting? Asked what it thought of Premier Hepburn‘s attitude on tie distribution of school taxes, a cerâ€" tain or uncertain Toronto newspaper could reply nctuously:â€""It always was a puzzle to distinâ€" ish left from right. This was true i1 boyhood days when the right shoe often got onto the left foot. In these adult days the Left always seems to be Right to us, while we‘re always hoping that the Right will get Left." There is one special advantage to the public in the Bennett plan in regard to answering questions: The public would always be assured of truthful answers to ‘questions they did not ask. Even that seems to be a step forward from present conditions, When Premier Hepburn is queried about the beverage rooms, or his attitude towards labour, he should find no difficulty in giving the frank reply: "For the first time in h‘story Canadian troops are relieving the palace guards during the Coronation." _ Lieut. Col. Geo. S. Drew need not answer any personal questions as to his political attitude for the future, further than to say: "The destruction of the giant Zeppelin and the loss of life resulting from this disaster have brought sorrow to many." tion that they could ask him that he could not respond to by some reference to the Coronation. ~It might add to the gatety of nations if Hon. Mr. Bennett‘s plan were more generally {followed. ,{CRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER THE PORCUPLINE ADVANCE. TDAILINB, ONTARIO, â€" One of the handsomest and most impressive pieces of Coronation decoration in town this week was the beautiful arch erected on Fourth avenue alongside the Empire hotel. The arch stretches from one side of the street to the other and is finâ€" ished in evergreen with flags and bunting and other loyal devices. This arch is a credit and an asset to the town on an occasion like the Coronaâ€" tion, and thanks are due to the Empire Hotel and a greasy plate again. But if women would wait to do the ibreakfast dishes until after they had read the paper and had a lot of thrilling things to think about and take their minds off of their own troubles, they would just take it in their stride, without minding it at all. "There are certain things, of course, that every hcusewife ‘has to do, and she has to use her head as well as her Lands in planning her work.

The material used today chiefly broom corn, a species belonging to the same family as the corn we use for food or fodder. The production of this broom corn is rapidly becomâ€" ing a thriving industry in Western Ontario. The 1936 crop in the Chaâ€" tham ‘district was estimated at about 1,000;000 pounds. Last year we imported over $321,000 worth. This amount was $47,000 less than the imports of the previous year.

The Advance understands that Mr. Mascioli has made the arch so that it can be taken down and reâ€"erected when occasion deâ€" mands. It will likely be used on other patriotic occasions and for such events as the Silver Jubilee of Timmins and the Porcupine Old Home Week this summer. Dnly a Small Link Needed to Join Transâ€"Canada Road It is probable that resumption of work will be on a basis of making White River the junction with the transcontinental route of roads leading frem Coppell and Sault Ste. Marie. It isn‘t only desirable to meet the wishes of the people of Cochrane and Temiskaâ€" ming districts and those of ‘Algoma and Sudbury districts, but a twoâ€"way plan starting at White River is necessary to meet requirements.: Westbound and castbound traffic over the Ooceanâ€"toâ€" (From North Bay Nugzet) Suspicion, expectation or determinaâ€" tion said to be alive in the T. N. O. regicn, particularly Liskeard district, that the Transâ€"Canada highway will be routed via Cochrane in preference to Sault Ste. Marie, listens like an efâ€" fort to revive a question that appears to be unanswerable, insofar as the govâ€" ernments are concerned. There is good reason to believe that the governments are headed into a genâ€" eral improvement programme that will ultimately mean giving the T. N. O. region as much recognition in the Transâ€"Canada project as the Saultâ€" Sudbury territory. Rebuilding of: the Ferguson highway to Transâ€"OCanada Standard indizsates that this route will} be made as inviting as the Saultâ€"North Bay stretch, and it will only require comparatively short link from ‘Coppell, southwest of Hearst, to the main route of the Transâ€"Canada at White River to include the T. N. O. district in the transcontinental roadway. With the rebuilding of the North Bayâ€" Cochrane section of the Ferguson highâ€" way now well under way, it would be more advantageous for the people of the district it serves to press relentâ€" lessly for the extension of the Hearstâ€" Coppell road to White River. At the present time, the Transâ€"Canada highâ€" way is a "dead issue" east of White Kiver, and there is no knowing when the government will decide to continue eastward beyond that point.
