LAKE, Owner and Publisher { Subscription Rates: Oanadaâ€"$2.00 Per Year United Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year Some people are amusing in their pretended atâ€" titude towards clothes. Perhaps, their pretences in the matter would be less appealing to them if the fact were more generally known that a dress suit may be purchased as cheaply as an ordinary suit. In this democratic age formal dress is within the reach of practically everybody who has any desire for such raiment. It is odd that the very people who rave about the thought that a man has the right to wear poor clothes if he finds such agreeâ€" able and convenient should deny to others the privilege of adopting the form of clothes that may suit the taste of others. Anyone who will dény the popular love of uniformsâ€"the natural love for "d@ressing up"â€"goes outside fact and experience. "Clothes do not make the man," is an epigram that some folks like to roll around the tongue, yet at the same time the very same people appear to be obsessed with the belief that clothes do make the man in an objectionable way if the clothes be full dress affairs. Most people owe the doctors a lot, and the least they can do in fairness is to let the hardâ€" worked gentlemen of the stethescope and the scalâ€" pel decide for themselvesâ€"at conventions or othâ€" erwiseâ€"whether they will dress thus or so on social Rackets, racketeers, racketeering are modern words for an ageâ€"old condition of affairs. Some veeks ago the Lions Club of Timmins issued warnâ€" m to the people agalnst belng duped by "acket-‘ ----- ; ¢ mmms and the Porcupine Old Home Week â€"The.ordinary work ofâ€"theâ€"ordinary doctor is so onerous that the ordinary man should be glad to see or hear of the medical man enjoying a little relaxationâ€"even at a conventionâ€"and even in such a matter as evening clothes. But one individâ€" ual writing to The Ottawa Journal suggests that the very idea of doctors soâ€"far forgetting themâ€" selves as to mention evening clothes at a convenâ€" tion is the very sort of thing that gives rise to comâ€" munism. The retort to that sort of loose thinking is that it might well tempt a reasonable man to thoughts of fascism. The man who would deny a doctor the right to wear evening clothes certainly needs a dictatorâ€"or something. Such a man should be the last to sneer at a doctor, in view of the fact that he appears to need one himself so badly. Evening clothesâ€"on a doctorâ€"or even on a mayorâ€"do not cause communism. On the other hand communism may tempt people to wear evenâ€" ing clothes. The latter suggestion might be proved in this way:â€"Communists do not favour formal dress as a rule, so by wearing the "soup and fish" regalia a man would be more or less advertising the fact that he is not a communist. ~The majority of Canadian newspapers have givâ€" en generous amount of space to recording the medical convention at Ottawa, so far as the proâ€" c?eedings could be translated into interesting and informative articles. There were one or two newsâ€" papers, however, that appeared to believe that the most important item in all the agenda of the mediâ€" cal econvention at Ottawa was a casual discussion about the proper clothes to wear at social gatherâ€" ings. Emphasis was given to the idea that some doctors apparently believed that the dignity of the profession required formal dress for social occaâ€" sions. Even supposing the doctors were unduly exercised about the matter of clothes for formal occasionsâ€"and there is not the slightest grounds for believing they were/even taking the silly deâ€" spatches at theirâ€"fullest face valueâ€"it would be a mean man surely who would debar doctors from the lighter things of life. During the year doctors work hard enough in the public interests to earn the right to a little recreation at their own annual conventions. If they made the annual gathering nothing more nor less than a jollificationâ€"a holiâ€" dayâ€"their long hours and strenuous, nerveâ€"wrackâ€" ing work through the rest of the year would be ample justification for the full vacation of a conâ€" vention. The truth, however, is that the discussion of clothes was a mere incidentalâ€"a momentary deâ€" parture from days study of health and its problems, of disease and its vagaries. At Ottawa last week two thousand Canadian physicians gathered for a convention. There were addresses and papers on various medical and surâ€" gical matters, and the doctors exchanged views, opinions and information. To a majority of the doctors attending, the convention Wwas something on the line.of a postâ€"graduate course. The great majority of the medical men returned to their daily duties better equipped to help their patients and better armed to fight disease and injury. It does not take much imagination to realize that the gathering of doctors at Ottawa was of genuine valâ€" ue to Canada in the matter of the nation‘s health. schemes to defraud the people. The Lions Club icated one or two lines taken by the racketeers Timmins, Ont., Friday, July 2nd, 1937 OUT OF PROPORTION TIMMINS, ONTARIO. â€"At the recent banquet at Timmins to the Torâ€" onto Board of Trade Goodwill Tour, one speaker suggested that the demand for a Royal Commission to study the needs of the North be revived. What appears to be more ngeded is some sort of contrapâ€" tion that will induce governments to fill fmore muickly and completely the needs of the North that are known and acknowledged. The odd word, "corrugated," has been heard more frequently in the last few days than for fifâ€" teen years or more in the town of Timmins. Fifteen or twenty years ago, it was a frequent greeting, emâ€" bellished with other strange adjectives. By the use of the two popular words, "corrugated" and "jake," an oldâ€"timer could carry on an extended conversation with an otherwise limited vocabulary. "Corrugated" appears to be very largely a Porâ€" cupine word. Its meaning is clear to all who use it intelligently. Chiefly it was used to express afâ€" fectionâ€"by men who were chary of expressing afâ€" fection otherwise. "Why you ~old corrugated!" Could any other words express so completely the opinion of thespeaker? It was a "jake" word, and oldâ€"timers this week enjoyed and appreciated its revival. One of the most interesting incidents of the bangquet on Tuesday evening in connection with the Silver Jubilee of Timmins was the presentation to the gathering of Mrs. Benny Hollinger, Mr. Allen McMartin and Mr. Leo Timmins. The gathering answered each introduction with round after round of applause. It was the husband of Mrs. Holâ€" linger Who staked the now famous Hollinger mine, and Messrs. Timmins and McMartin are sons of the men who risked much to bring the Hollinger property to production and success. Mrs. Hollinger has the distinction of seeing the mine that bears her husband‘s name acknowledged as one of the richest gold mines in the world and directly reâ€" sponsible for the birth of the young city of Timâ€" mins. Leo H. Timmins has the privilege of seeing a mighty industry, and a thriving town bearing the family name, rising as monuments to the enterâ€" prise, the faith, the vision and the courage of the Timmins brothers who have gone on the last adâ€" venture. The bright lights in Timmins this week for the Silver Jubilee and Porcupine Old Home Week cerâ€" tainly brightened up the town. It is understood that the expense of erecting these lights and mainâ€" taining them during the week is being paid by the Timmins Lions Club. Their rgnoval will} reduce the brightness of the town. If the town cannot see its way clear to keep these lights in place for the balance of the summer, it might be a good idea to consider ways and means for replacmg them by some other scheme of more adequate lighting of the town. T xt Nearly everything has its compensations. The rain did interfere with the Silver Jubilee celeâ€" bration here, but on the other hand it also had it: effect on the dust that makes the roads a curse and a menace in summer days. Radio might be described as the lazy man‘s newspaper. Also, it might be called the hnazy man‘s Did you ever notice that the danger of war in Europe always scems to be greater at the weekâ€" end than at any other time? If the weakâ€"ends could be watched war might be avoided aAltoâ€" zether. There were not as many oldâ€"timers from outside places back here for the Old Home Week as had been expected, but those who did return for the week certainly had a happy time just greeting other oldâ€"timers and reâ€"living again the bright days and the darker days (these latter also tinted in memory with some colour and brightness) â€"the days when the town was young. and suggested that there were many others. This week has shown how innumerable are the forms that racketeering may assume. It is to be hoped that the public has heeded the warning given by the Lions Club in this matter. If the advice was not taken then the people will learn the lesson by costly experience. At every corner there seems to be some clever scheme or other to part the people from their money. Scores of individuals and groups have come to town to use the occasion to fatten their purses at the expense of the public. Some of the schemes were ingenious enough to be amusing. Some were simply bold. There were men selling laces, women peddling views, girls with fancy work and boys with everything from blouse buttons tco balloons. The racketeers matched their cunning against the supposed credulity. of the public. Auâ€" thority from the"Lions Club or from the town, or from anybody else, was not asked nor considered by the racketéeers. They simply reaped their harâ€" vest and moved on. Few of the racketeers appeay prosperousâ€"that is one comfort. It may be that the public is not as credulous as some think and that eventually the people in general will make a racket of the racketeer, and that will be the virtual end of racketeering. * No, oldâ€"timer, the "community centre" for which the Lions Club is raising funds this week is not the town hall. uPugiPalPrl P P LA uD o l l ul l ~all ~all D l t e O Oe OO OO e e e e e e C t e e GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER} o m s L i e e P 3rdâ€"That the Wilson party â€" came rightjacross to.see who they were and that the two parties made dn agreeâ€" ment. that, Bannerman and ~Geddes keep the north and east to prospect "and the Wison ~party~ the ~south and west, as long as no one else came and the two parties were alone.

Improved sight costs less * at the Prohibition is the opposite of true temperance 3 It is plainly in the interest of the Brewing Industry to promote True Temperance, to defend itself and its thousands of workers against the effects of extremist propaganda. But it is also to the public interest that the wholeâ€"story should be told. These messages, then, are intended as a genuine service to the great majority who are not extremists on either side . . . In 1916 when Prohibition came to Onâ€" tario, sincere temperance people voted for it. They gave it eleven years fair trial. But it failed! Then the same sincere temperance people voted for its repeal â€"and substiâ€" tuted government control. But government control cannot be efâ€" fective without selfâ€"control â€"for that was why Prohibition was a failure. % 4 e R.S.â€"Millerâ€"Middleton ~claims near Pearl Lake are a part of Hollinger toâ€" day.

P.S.â€"I sure have always been thankâ€" ful to George Bannerman for not filing a dispute against Dome because he had _good grounds to do so had he wished. One hour after he arrived here as I have already mentioned he and my party. made an agreement and if one found a good thing they were to stake what they needed and let the others know. George Bannerman lived up honestly and told Harry Preston about his find but the other party did not tell Bannerman although had Dome not been staked I was going to tell George to stake it. But George made a discovery and started a rush that forced Dome to be staked. Even then George had good grounds to file a dispute.â€"H. A. Preston.

Presâ€" ton had been looking for gold all that summer at Nighthawk Lake and Abiâ€" tibi Lake. Ask them if Preston killed three moose inside a few hours and about a halfâ€"mile from camp. Ask Milâ€" ler and Middleton if Preston told them about all the gold up north and spread over:suchâ€" a big area and he felt sure if it were to be seen in so many places so far apart that there must be gold mines up there somewhere..

In less than two years they were up there and Tom Middleton met Preston on Porcupine Creek near Dome and he had a young gent with him. they would not agree with him in anyâ€" thing he said or wanted to do. He wanted to go and see the lakes to the west. George and Tom toid him to come and make himself at hume any time he quit. 5thâ€"That Preston visited George and Tom quite often. 6thâ€"That they and Wilson left Presâ€" ton alone for 12 days while they went out for supplies and the same evening they returned Preston had a imoose killed ready for them. George fetched fcur or five men back with him. "thâ€"In September George went to Haileybury to record gold claims and start a rush. But before doing so he hunted up Harry Preston and told him it was his chance to quit his party and stake beside the claims or tell his boss to come and see the claims. His boss was told, and the first thing George knocws is that the Wilson party stakes a big vein in Tisdale four miles from his claims and it was called Dome and was at the lakes that Preston had been to in June, over one hundred days beâ€" fore it was staked.

"While the examination of brick and tile workers, grain elevator men and werkers in cement, all exposed at times to high dust content in the air, revealâ€" ed no silicosis, there have been many cases among miners and granite cutâ€" ters. As a result, the Division has suggested measures for the control of silica dust, also compulsory initial and periodical physical examinations, parâ€" ticularly to guard against the spread of tuberculosis which is a very comâ€" mon complication. The fact that siliâ€" cosis is not encountered in certain groups which have had a gross dust ‘exposure does not warrant its being continued. In the work of investigation and combatting silicosis, the Division Article in "Health" Refers to Silicasis ‘"The surveys," he writes, "cover chiefly hardâ€"rock mining and quarryâ€" ing, foundries, porcelain works and granite cutting. It wasg found that silicosis had developed among workers in grinding and polishing, in moulding and in the preparation of abrasive cleaners. In view of the recent announcement from Toronto of hopes of a cure for silicosisâ€"the disease which takes such a serious toll among hardâ€"rock workers â€"an article in the current issue of "Health" is most interesting. In this publication of the Health League of Canada, Dr. J. G.

Apart from all other sorry consequences of Prohibition, the sorriest of all was that Temperance education ceased!
