TVIMMINS, ONTARIO. Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" PHONES â€"â€"â€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO,. LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: ed with the astounding statement that "lack of social consciousness has kept Canadians from selfâ€" criticism, and consequently the muckâ€"raking school of journalism has lagged in Canada." The statement is astounding because there does not ‘seem to be a particle of truth or sense in it, and even Toronto editors seldom make a statement that is utterly and completely false. Usually there is enough truth in their wilder expressions to make them double lies. It is astounding surely to suggest that there has been any lack of social consciousâ€" ness in Canada. Still further is it false to suggest that anything has kept Canadians from selfâ€"| criticisim. Possibly if there had been a little less| selfâ€"criticism in Canada, there would have been| less of the infernal inferiority complex that makesi | The editor of Toronto Saturday Night is credit ‘ } so many Canadians imagine that anything that comes from anywhere else is naturally superior to anything in Canada. What is needed is not more| selfâ€"criticism, but less of the disposition that seems to think that a foreigner on a soapbox is a superior | being on a pedestal while the Canadian industrialâ€" ist is a knave or a fool. As for the muckâ€"raking school of journalism, Canada has not been content to import the journals of this type, but on occaâ€" sion has had its own periodicals that have fairly wallowed in the worst type of muck. Toronto alone is noted for several of these putrid sheets, while Montreal usually manages to have one or two. Then there are a few others scattered throughout the Dominion. It is true that these muckâ€"raking journals have a precarious life in Canada, because of the spirit of fair play and decency of the Canaâ€" dian people, but it certainly would be a poor Canaâ€" dian who would wish more of these despicable prostitutions of journalism on the people of this Dominion. If there is anything wrong with Canada, it is not "lack of social consciousness," absence of "selfâ€" criticism," or the want of "muckâ€"rakers." @Quite the contrary, indeed. Toronto Saturday Night itself appears to be full of "social consciousness," with a liberal dose of "selfâ€"criticism" of Canadians and Canadian affairs, and sometimes there have been signs even of a little gentle "muckâ€"raking." It may be, of course, that the editor of Toronto Saturday Night has beon misreported. Such a thing could easily happen, due to social consciousness. Or it may be that the words he used, do not mean what they should mean. In that case the misapâ€" prehension would be due to selfâ€"criticism. And in case the editor of Saturday Night did not use the words, or say anything, or if there is no editor and no Saturday Night, then the case would be one of miuckâ€"raking pure and simple. In any case, Toronto Saturday Night has been proven wrong. There is social consciousness; there is selfâ€"criticism; there is muckâ€"raking, in Canada. Worse luck for Canada! The suggestion has been made to The Advance that the business men and householders of Timâ€" mins be urged to decorate their premises for the Jubilee Celebration of Timmins and the Porcupine Old Home Week. The Advance would like to give such advice but has not the heart to do soâ€"while the town itself is in such an uncleanly condition. Flags and bunting on the business places and homes in the town would not hide the dirt on the streets and the filthy condition of some parts of the town. The town should act first to make this young city presentable. In recent years, while some newcomers have been telling the old folks here that this is no longer a mining town,.but a great city, the disorderly condition of the town has been an eyesore and a heartbreak to the men who made the city where there never was a mining town. Business men and private citizens have kept well abreast of the times in having their places well apâ€" pearing and neat and orderly, while the state of the roads, with dust and dirt and refuse, has made Strange Disappearance of Little Girl Near Rouyn the Provinc! that no tral little Marie yearâ€"old dau i.

ACtl lil Canadian Honoured by U.S. Institute Actuaries V. R. Smith, general manager of the Confederaticn Life Association, and immediate past president of the Canaâ€" dian Life Insurance Officers‘ Associaâ€" tion, was recently elected president of the American Institute of Actuaries. Mr. ZSmith was the second Canadian so honoured in the Institute‘s history. The honcur was the culmination of a distinguished service in the Institute‘s interests. Elected a fellow in 1923, he was a member of the board of goverâ€" most baffling and the parents are alâ€" most distracted by anxietvy regarding the individual effort of little avail. A case in point is that of St Mary‘s hospital. The grounds of the hospital form a genuine beauty spot in the town. The most loving care and the most devoted attenâ€" tion are given to the lawn, the flowers, the shrubs, the trees And then the sidewalk and roadside alongside the hospital offset it all. Dust and sand and dirt, old papers, scrap material, are allowed by the town to gather on the walks and weeds outside the hospital fence. Instead of the town setting the example in cleanliness and beautification, condiâ€" tions of walks and streets are a distinct discourageâ€" ment. It is only a week until the Silver Jubilee and Old Home Week. In that week the town should see that there is a general cleanâ€"up of town property, inâ€" cluding streets and walks and boulevards. it that is done, the people here will soon show the good old spirit and there will be decorations and beautiâ€" fication enough to please the hearts ofâ€"all. The Gueliph Mercury says that the acid test of a man‘s religion is his Monday‘s behaviour. If a man‘s religion doesn‘t carry a man further than Monday, there‘s something radically wrong with the man. It would be a better epigram to say that the acid test of a man and his religion on Sunday is the man‘s behaviour on Santurday. Newspapers throughout Ontario are wondering because Lindsay, with a poBulation of less than 8000, has three daily newspapers. In 1908, when Lindsay was as large as it is toâ€"day, it had three daily newspapers. There was wonder then how three daily papers could be maintained. Before long, however, it was the people who had invested their money who were doing the wondering. Last year Oscar Robertson, acting as lifeguard at the river, was responsible for averting several serious accidents and saving several lives. It is a wellâ€"known fact that the Mattagami river on acâ€" count of the lack of buoyancy of the water and treacherous undercurrents is a dangerous piece oi water. Yet it is much used for swimming and bathâ€" ing. This year there will be the same danger of acâ€" cident as in past years. So far as can be learned there has been no lifeguard appointed for this year. On account of his work as inspector for the Humane Society Mr. Robertson‘s services may not be available this year, but others are available. It would appear that if the council fails to provide a lifeguard for the river this year they will be missâ€" ing a chance to protect lives. The Globe and Mail publishes a picture of 65 Canadian members of the Women‘s League of Health and Beauty arriving at London, England. From the appearance of the ladies, this must be the Health section. : Recent news items in The Advance have called attention to the number of serious accidents reâ€" sulting from youngsters playing with dynamite caps or detonators. The Northern News, of Kirk â€" land Lake, suggests that teachers be provided with harmless duplicates of these detonators and exâ€" plain to the pupils in each class the danger from playing with these dangerous devices. The Northâ€" ern News thinks that if dummy detonators were shown the children would know what the real things look like and so avoid them. As a matter of fact, The Advance believes that the teachers have done their part in this matter. On more than one recent occasion actual detonators have been disâ€" played at local schools and warning given of the danger from playing with them. Despite all this, youngsters succumb to the temptation to fool with these dangerous caps. It is well not to leave everyâ€" thing to the schools or teachers. Parents should do their partâ€"even to the extent of using an old â€" fashioned shingle, slipper or hairbrush to impress the lesson. The Advance heard of one parent reâ€" cently who found his boy pounding one of these detonators with a stone. "You shouldn‘t do that," the father told the boy as he took the cap away from the lad. "Sometimes those things explode," he added as an afterthought. That was all. "That boy is always lucky," the father commented afterâ€" wards. The chances are that the boy \yill attempt more thoroughly to investigate the next detonator he finds. He may be lucky again. But hardly lucky in the choice of a father who can trust so much to luck in a matter that may mean the serious injury or the death of his boy!

Sspeaking of the doings of the oldâ€" ‘imers in this camp in those days, let me tell you of an event which I never saw recorded in your paper, viz.: conâ€" serning an unselfish deed performed by ‘Slim" Halliwell at Hollinger Reserve in 1912. I cannot recall the day of the month but that is immaterial. One morning the shift went below to work and it was noxt long before the danger alarm was rung up to the hoist man. Men were hoisted up and dumped jout inconscious. The last load to come to surface was Slim Halliwell, all by himâ€" self. All these men had been gassed. The reason why Slim came up by himâ€" self was this: He had helped to get the nore unfortunate into the bucket, and n the last load there was no room for me man left over. So Slim dumped the ‘her fellow into the bucket, and rang up the hoist. He then rushed to the water tap and kept his head under it until the bucket returned below. He reached the surface unconscious. The cldâ€"timer I was speaking to seemed to be assured that Slim did not work at Hollinger Reserve in 1912, but if this reaches the eye of Slim he will assure you that he did.
