He almost always was a story teller into the bargain, collecting narraâ€" tives and anecdotes from the travelling fraternity and from the local unbusy men of whom every small town has its Gone Is the Oldâ€"Time Hangâ€" out and the Stag Story Parties (By W. J, Gorman in "Grab Samples" in The Northern Miner) Amongst the disappsaring amsnities ofi another day is the cldâ€"time barber shop with its peculiarly male atmosâ€" phere and its c:casional ribaldry. Tim: was when a man could drift into a shop in the full knowledge and expectation that he would find himself surrounded by a crowd of men only and he could likewise anticipate hearing a few stories and some local gossip of interest. For the barber, particularly in the small town, was a specialist on the doâ€" ings of the community. Invariably the preprietor had his chair in a position where he could watsh the doings of the place. He kept a keen and knowâ€" ledgeable eye cn the main street and noted the comings and goings which formed the subject of his glib comment. The barber shop was abhorred by the women folk in the old days. For one thing they had no bukiness there and UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF _ une 30th, 1937, payable July 26th, 937, to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 30th, 1937. L. C.

MORTSON, Manager Amcengs! the attractions in the shop were the current and old issues of that famous magazine the ‘"Police Gazette." In those days, before the regular magaâ€" zines began depicting the female human form divine on almost every page and in varying degrees of nudity the old "Gazette‘" had this attractive field to itse!f and it certainly cultivated it. The chorus girl of the time was a husky gal, running largely to the Hebe or Ho!lâ€" stein type and she apparently had no qualms about displaying her charms. The village and farm boys revelled in the revelations and so did their dads. In those tmes there was a strong fesling against pool rooms and it perâ€" sists to some extent to this day. Just what is or was so wicked about playing pos! <r billiards has not been disclosed but "hanging around the pool room" was a phrase of reproach to the youth cf the small communities. As the pool room usually housed the barber shop the local practitioner was not particuâ€" larly popular with the ladies of the framily. for ancther they had a conviction that it was the lozsus of the town‘s noâ€"goods who spent a lot of time shooting psol and passing ribald remarks about lady passersâ€"by. There was grain of truth in their suspicions at that. Women have been known to cross the street rather thkan pass the barber shop. Neverthsless the men who had no particular business cares found the karber shop a good place to spend a enewy or rainy afternoon. There was always a fire, a number of arinchairs which could be tilted up against the wall and an adequate quota of spitoons plazed at strategic points. While cusâ€" tomers might be few on such days the flow of talk was abundant. Usually the n‘erâ€"doâ€"wells of the town had keen ard spteful tongues and they spared nobody. It was astonishing what they could observe and repeat, having little else to do. The walls of the barber shop were galleries of salendar beauties, adverâ€" tisinz whiskies and tobaccos. These werks of art were also daring to a deâ€" gree. When the local clergy came in for the monthly haircut they had to keep their glances under full control, because the other denizens of the shop watched them closely for any roving Emall town barbers were often good sports in other ways. They either Blayâ€" ed ball or supported the team enâ€" thusiastically.

This was sometimes ancther cause for female disapproval. The wife of the village lawyer or doctor resented having to dispatch Willie to the balber shop when a client appzared, to dig up the addict frem the back rsom. a customer has been left half shaved while the practiticner frantically donâ€" ned his rubber coat and ran to the fire hall, to return hcurs later, smoke stained and water soaked to take up again his more prosaic occupation. Everything is pretty much changed n3w. No longer are hangersâ€"O0n perâ€" mitted to stage sit downs in the shops to the embarrassment of women and children who 2cnstitute the barber‘s best customers. The spitoon has disâ€" appeared and the posl table has gone with it. The barber has brightened up his and himself. He has imported electrical machines, has taken courses in hair dressing and while he has not entirely forgotten the ancient art of droning a male customer to sleep in the chair he practises it a great deal less. On the other hand he is expected to be able to discsuss matters of social inâ€" terest with his fair clients who are not, as a rule. loath to talk on any OSCaâ€" sicn. M Tribute to the Late Jas. Mowat, of Montreal River The following tribute was paid last week by The Haileyburian in an ediâ€" torial article to the late James Mowat, pioneer of the North, and father of Mrs. Fidler, of Timmins:â€" "In the heart of the land he loved so well, quietly and peacefully as he had lived {for more than four score years, there passed to the Great Beyond on Monday evening the spirit of James Mowat, pioneer resident of Temiskamâ€" ing and friend and intimate of all who came within his ken. His death came as he would have desired it, without a long illness or any trouble or fuss, and his body will be laid to rest beside that of his wife, who passed on a few short months ago. "Those of us who knew Mr. Mowat will long recall his genial nature and leasure which his infrequent visits ry gave us.

TIMMINS, ONTARIO New Regulations Help Prospectors and Others Recent changes in the Ontario Securiâ€" ties Act regulations are considered as very imporiant and as likely to give much better opportunity to the prosâ€" pector and smallâ€" cperator. Indeed, The Northern Miner figures that Ontario syndicates can now be launched for $25 fee. The Northern Miner, always giving close study to all laws and reâ€" gulations concerning mining, devotes much space in its last issue to the new regulations. The fcllowing is the reâ€" ference in full by The Northern Miner: Ontario Syndicates Can Now be Launched for $25 Fee. What has the earmarks c: an importâ€" ant change in the securities regulations in the province cof Ontaric is the auâ€" thcrization by the government of the incorporation of mining syndicates with a capitalization not exzeeding $35,000, in shares of $1 par, at a cost of $25. This move should materially assist prosâ€" peciors and others of small means to initiate mining enterprises. Benefias Designed for Small Operators.

It will be noted that, conâ€" trary to rumors afloat for some time, the existing regulations concerning teleâ€" phone use and houseâ€"toâ€"house canvassâ€" ing have not been removed or relaxed, Hon. Paul Leduc, Minister cof Mines and Attorneyâ€"General of the province, with his able aide, John Godfrey, K.C., securities Commissioner, has no intenâ€" tion of reverting to conditions which caused so much trouble a few years ago. The new regulations are simple. They should work easily and successfully. Certainly they will cut down on the exâ€" pense of launching a mining venture. They will permit of putt:ng the money raised from the public into tne ground where it should go. This has been the policy of the Securities Commissioner since the beginning. By Orderâ€"inâ€"Council effective May 2¢th, 1937, provision has made or the incorporation under Part I of The Companies Act (Ontario) of a Mining Eyndiztate with capitalization not exâ€" ceeding $35,000 divided into shares of a par value of $1.00 each with such obâ€" jects and subject to such terms and conditions as the Provincial Secretary deems advisable. The Departmental fee for incorporation of such a Mining Syndictate is $25. An amendment has beerm made to the Regulations under The Securities Act whereby Mining Syndizcates incorporatâ€" ecl under Fart I of The Companies Act as aboveâ€"mentioned do not require reâ€" gistration provided a copy of the speâ€" cial form of prospectus required by The Gompanies Infcrmation Act is filed with the Commission, together with the namss and addresses of those persons whoa will be selling the securities of the Syndicate. It is to be noted that in additicn to filing the prospectus, the consent in writing of the Registrar must be obtained by any person desirâ€" ous Ccf selling these securities. A special form of prospectus for such Mining Syndicate has been prepared which is required to be filed with the Provincial Secretary under The Comâ€" panies Information Ast, the fee for filâ€" ing sutch ‘being $2.00. A spzacial form of prospectus has been prepared for mining companies in general which must ‘be filed with the Provincial Secretary under the proâ€" visions of The Companies Information Act, the fee for same being as at presâ€" entâ€"$5.0CG. Further, it is a provisicn of the Reâ€" gulations that each purchaser of securiâ€" ties shall receive at the time of purâ€" chase a copy of such prospectus. Regulation No. 24 which required certain information to be giyen to purâ€" chasers was repealed and the Regulaâ€" tion set out below substituted. This is a material change. It is to be noted that on any first or subsequent sale direct from the treasury of a company or sale through the medium of underâ€" writers or optionees, each purchaser shall receive a statement at the time of purchase setting forth the quantity and description of the security, the considerâ€" ation, whether or not the proceeds will be paid to the treasury of the company whose securities are offered for sale and where the purchaser may obtain a There appears to ‘be an impression abroad that salesmen may call at any residence either in person or by teleâ€" phone in connection with the sale Gf securities of these Mining Syndicates. such is not the case as no exemption has been made under the present Reguâ€" laticns prchibiting the calling At reâ€" sidences either in person or by teleâ€" prone. Further amendments were made to the Regulations under "ime Securities Act. The former Regulation No. 22 was repealed and a new Regulation subâ€" stituted, merely for the purpose of clarification.

The informaticn given may be conâ€" tained either in a subscription form or in a confirmation sent by the broker to his client, and as the Regulation now stands it applies also to cases of transâ€" acticns between brokers waich {ormerly were exempt. It will be seen that the most importâ€" ant change from the present Regulaâ€" tions is that a copy of the prospectus does not need to be delivered to the purchaser as was formerly the case, but the purchaser must be told where he may obtain a cony if he so desires.

Simple Remâ€" edy for Sunburn. (By J. W. S. McCulough, M.D., D.P.H.) Sun Worship reaches back to preâ€" historic times. Each race had its own sun god. The Greeks called on Apollo; the Persians to Mithras and the ancient Egyptians to Ra. The inrstmes of anâ€" cient peoples in regard to the health value of the sun was universal. There is no doubt of the benefizence cf the sun‘s rays when properly used, but these rays may be a twoâ€"edged sword, One feels more cheerful on a sunny day than if the sky is overncast or the rain falling in torrents. Sunlight is essential to vegetation. It is almost essential to. health. The ultraâ€"violet rays of the sun have a profound effect on many fsods. Thus fats and olls, which, either artificially or threough nature have been activated by sunlight, protect the user against the disease known as rickets. The exposure of the skin to sunlight or to the ultraâ€"violef light cf proper wavelength acts on the ergosterol in cne‘s skin and prevents the waste of calcium and phosphorus that might otherwise cccur. The preservaâ€" tion of these elements of bone formaâ€" tion aids in the prevention of rickets. The use of codâ€"liver oil has a similar effect because godâ€"liver is really bottled sunchine. * Within recent years young men and women have sought a tanned skin. One sees them at bathing beaches and élseâ€" where exposing large argas of the Surâ€" face of the bedy in the effcrt to obtain a rapid tan. In many cases the results litle short of disastrous. Normal and apparently healthy persons may be made seriously ill by inordinate exposâ€" ure to sunlight. A sunburn of considerâ€" able extent is simply a burn like any burn caused by exposure to fire. It is exquisitely painful. There may be prostration, high fever and evirdence of kidney derangement. Every samimer sees a host of selfâ€"elected martyre to the sun‘s rays. Scme of the bone and skin results of tuberculesis are improved by the ultraâ€" viclet rays of the sun if these are proâ€" perly applied. Blonds and redheads are among the chief sufferers in this respect. Fairâ€" skinned persons have little pigment in their skins. They lack this natural protection against the sun‘s rays. Such persons do not tan as darkâ€"skinned CANADIAN GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Limited Corner Pine and Second Bruce Ave.. So.
