t .ts ic The Globe and Mail is very generous in the matâ€" ter, but it would be a mistake for the province to be too free at the expense of the North. The Globe and Mail says that the course of instruction is not important. "The main thing is to get the young men acquainted with the North. and with its treâ€" mendous possibilities for a career, whether in forâ€" estry conservation, tumbering or mining." There are thousands of young men already well acquaintâ€" ed with the North, some of them born here, reared here. They know the possibilities of the North and have high faith in the country‘s future. They fIt is true that those of faith and vision see the mining‘ industry in this North expanding and in the future, but the same faith and vision can see skilled men already available for the work that may open up. As for the forest indusâ€" tries, the same situation exists. The COntario Govâ€" ‘ernment‘s policy in reducing the number of fire ‘rangers and other officials in the forest industries has created some unemployment. Unless the govâ€" ernment intends to change its policy in this parâ€" ticular the training of youth in forest conservation and in lumbering does not appear as desirable as The Globe and Mail seems to believe. Any plans for training youth should be very carefully conâ€" sidered before adoption. It is all very well to talk A@t large about training youth in forest conservaâ€" tion, lumbering and mining. The industries themâ€" selves are already doing this at their own expense. Some thought should be given to the placing of the youth after any training plans. "Get youth into the North!" is a poor slogan. A better slogan would be, "Find employment for the youth already in the North who are unable to get places." Scarcely a day passes without the disâ€" appointment of some youth being heard because he has graduated from school or college and is unable to use his training in any employment available. During the depression there seemed to be a conâ€" spiracy in the South to induce all the unemployed o come North for work or business. It would be deplorable if the government should openly beâ€" come party to any such a conspiracy. Manitoba is the first province in the Dominion to take advantage of the Federal government‘s fund of a million dollars to assist in training unâ€" employed young men. One plan of the Maniâ€" toba government is to train youth in forest conâ€" servation and improvement work. This wins the hearty endorsation and approval of The Globe ani Mail. This Toronto newspaper would like to set Ontario follow the lead of Manitoba. The suggesâ€" tion of The Globe and Mail is that this province centre on training of youth for forest conservation lumbering and mining. All of which is very well. provided the plan is properly restricted Unforâ€" tunately, however, The Globe and Mail does nol appear to be considering any restraint in the matâ€" ter. "Get Youth into the North"â€"that is heading of the editorial in The Globe and Mail It is to be hoped that it is not the old towards the North that has done so much to retarc ‘the development of the North without helping Old Ontario. Indeed, the best wayâ€"the only way tco help Old Ontarioâ€"is by assisting the Northâ€"helpâ€" ing this country solve its present problems rather than adding worse ones to further curse the counâ€" try. The transfer of young men from the South to the North might solve the unemployment proâ€" blem for the South for the moment, but in the end it could only result in more deplorable conditions for all concerned. Already the North has done more than its share to help solve the unemployâ€" ment problem. Literally thousands of men have been absorbed in this country‘s payrolls in the last five years or so. But the trouble has been that the unemployed have been coming here in numâ€" bers that make it impossible to place them. Not only have workers in all lines crowded in here, but the same applies to practically every line of busiâ€" ness. There is not a single profession or calling or line of business that is not badly overdone. It is not a desirable condition nor one that will eventuâ€" ally prove beneficial to anyone. It has meant that for years past the North has had thousands of unâ€" employed as a burden on the people here. Only the prosperity of the country made the burden at all bearable. The people here, however, have carâ€" ried on without particular complaint in the matâ€" ter, but this is all the more reason why they should not be singled out for further impositions and exâ€" actions. To judge by the wage scales and condiâ€" tions, there is no scearcity of workers for the forest industries. Any unusual addition of men to the ranks of mine workers would not be in the general interests nor would it have a tendency to maintain wage scales. The skilled men here in the lumber industry see few jobs going begging. Every exâ€" perienced mine worker is not employed. Graduâ€" ates of the mining departments of the universities have their own difficulties in securing employment despite the development of mining in the North. TIMMINS®, ONTARIO.

LAKE, Owner and Publisher What is the spirit otkgxe‘Nox;th? It is easier to give examples than to explain. The people of the little town of Val D‘Or.fighting and conquering a ferce fire, with only an oldâ€"time bucket brigade to do the work, may be quoted as one sample. There are some people who are inclined to little the work and efforts of service clubs. Even There are fashions in wedding rings as in most other things. A hundred years ago wedding rings were very narrow and light. Then the fashion was for broader and heavier ones until fifty years ago the rings were so big as to appear unwieldy. Since then both broad and narrow rings have folâ€" lowed as the fashion of the day.. The present trend is said to be for more substantial rings. It is to be hoped that the fashion will be for subâ€" stantial and lasting weddings. Britain changes kings or premiers and still carâ€" ries on as usual. are liable to lose that faith, however, if they are crowded out â€"of opportunity by governmentâ€"imâ€" ported and governmentâ€"trained men. Instead of the slogan "Get Youth into the North," how about one for decent roads for the North, and a general square deal for the North, With the proper usage from the South, this North will open up and develop in natural way and proâ€" vide employment not only in this North but also in the South which supplies so large a part of the goods used in this North. (Give the North chance and it will materially assist in the permanent solvâ€" ing of unemployment. _ There is lots of freedom of speech about freedom of speech. But that‘s about all. As soon as someâ€" body makes free to say something, somebody else rises up to object. It would be amusing, were it! mot so disgusting, to note that the fact that the very people who howl the loudest about freedom of speech, kick the hardest as soopn as some speech| is freed contrary to their opinion. Reference was| made recently to the college professor who was so| free with his speech. There was one set of people who wanted to discharge the professor, and anâ€"| set who wanted to hang the people who! wanted to free the professor from his posit.ion.‘ There was a regular circle of freedom of speech,! but most of the combatants were using freedom| of speech to condemn freedom of speech. To] parody one of the old sedatives, "this is the sort] of thing that makes fascists." i Had the near riot in Timmins last week been staged before the Old Home Week, there would have been grounds for the suggestion that it was only a dodge to advertise the town in some of the city dailies. It is to be hoped that the council is not waiting until after the new town hall is built before putâ€" ting more oil on the streets. Now there is another sample of the fact that freedom of speech in this country proves that there is no freedom of speech. It is only a few short months ago that a certain Mr. Roebuck was fercely striving for freedom of speech for comâ€" munists." He even helped change the law of the Dominion so that this freedom of speech would be the more assured to the reds and the pinks and the yellows. Now this same Mr. Roebuck scores a 'judge for a little freedom of speech. In an adâ€" dress Judge Wearing, of London, made mild sugâ€" gestion that the Ontario government having canâ€" celled pbwer contracts in a way that some people felt was a violation of vested rights, and the Doâ€" minion government having failed to disallow the provincial legislation for political reasons, it lookâ€" ed as if some people believed the sum total of the result was injurious to Canada‘s credit, or words to that effect. Mr. Roebuck expresses the opinion that the judge had no right to such freeâ€" dom of speech. Apparently, Mr. Roebuck, who called the blessings of Heaven down upon the comâ€" munists in their freedom of speech, would not only punish the judge for his past freedom of speech, but would also see that no judge in the future should exercise any such freedom of speech. It must be all very confusing to those who really beâ€" lieve there is such a thing as freedom of speech. Has a communist more freedom of speech than a judge? If so, how come? Has an Attorneyâ€"Genâ€" eral more liberty of expression than some of his subordinates? If so, give reasons in detail. Mr. Roebuck should know something about freedom of speech because he has encountered it from all angles. He has used it himself, while denying it to his subordinates under pain of no longer being his subordinates with pay. Then the premier, who has given the province‘s most outstanding example of how free speech may be made, showed Mr. Roeâ€" buck that his freedom of speech must have limits or penalties would follow. so far as The Advance can figure out the matter freedom of speech consists in this country of the right to say anything you like so long as you are expressing everybody else‘s opinion whether you like it or not.

The residence could not be sold; for no one with that much money failed to see that it was a burden foolish to assume.

The municipality found Casa Loma While nothing official has been anâ€" nounced, it is believed many large mines are interested in the Temagami district, and it is said some are even backing the preliminary work in the hope of striking something worthwhile.

Mining Firms Again Active in the Temagami District Area Staked up in a Hurry Oldâ€"time Excitement Ovei Finds. From Geraldton in Northwestern Onâ€" tario comes the story of an oldâ€"time gold rush. It started last week and reâ€" sulted in so much staking that the area is just about staked solid. The area is on the C.N.R. about 30 miles east of Geraldton. It has been looked upon for some time as favourable territory for staking and prospectors have been giving it some attention right along. Reports last week however, roused the special interest and excitement. Every free man around Geraldton who knew anything ‘About prospecting (or even thought he did) went out on the trail with visions of staking a great mine. The rush is said to have started from reports following finds by Freddie Powers, Art Ward and Len Morrow. Freddie Powers not only brought in to Geraldton 1mpre=swe stories of gold °howmgs but he had samples of rich ore to back his story. The gold ore is described as a rich concentration. F.

Lumber is the natural element from which to erect homes, as well as most types of buildings, and is oftentimes cited as "The Indispensable Material of Civilization," says Walter L. Whitâ€" acre of Columbus, Ohio, in “Wgod Conâ€" struction." Lumber is easily worked. Lumber is conveniently available, reâ€" latively cheap. Lumber is light and strong. Lumber is one of the BEST forms of insulation. : Lumber weight for weight is as strong as iron. Lumber has warmth when put into a home. »#" The oldest and most renowned homes of our country are made of wood, and the majority of them never heard of a termite. The forests are nature‘s playgrounds, and when you bring wood from the forests into your home, you are still in nature‘s playground. 74.5 per cent. of the homes in Ameriâ€" ca toâ€"day are constructed of wood. Good lumber does not cost. It pays. Hence, a good building is the product of a good architect, a good contractor, a good craftsman, using good maserial. The difference in the cost of a good home ranging from $6000 to $9000 or more, through the use of the best maâ€" terial for the particular places where What is the object of Government control? posal. They agreed to assume charge of the castle and grounds, and use the property as a show place. The club suggested that it would prove a special attraction to tourists. Indeed, they saw it as alâ€" most oneâ€"fifth as good as the quintuplets in the matter of attracting tourists. To cut the story short, the Kiwanis took over Casa Loma from the city, placing a small fee for the privilege of viewâ€" ing this wonderful Canadian castle. Tourists fairly rushed to the plage and even Canadians of Toronto and other places hurried to pay the fee and see Casa Loma. On Dominion Day over 2,000 people visited the place and paid the fee to see the castle. Already some 25,000 people are said to have visited the castle and paid the admission rate. Toronto has disposed of its white elephant, thanks to the West Toronto Kiwanis Club. In the meanwhile prohibition extremists use the behaviour of the victims of their own legislation as an argument for repeating their fatal mistake. Unfortunately it takes time to repair the ravages of prohibition. A whole generation were deprived of the opportunity of learning moderation. So there are still abuses, which government control corrects. A careful study convinces us that a sound public opinion is growing in favour of reasonable and temperate enjoyment. The present system in fact is proving successful. When, on the other hand, they are available in public places, under proper control of course, education begins, for then public opinion discourages excess. Any insistence that the consumption of these wholesome, mildly stimulating beverages should only take place in private behind shut doors, cannot give people the opportunity to learn to use them sanely, decently, and to their own advantage. If the system aims at coercion, at making people "good" against their will, it is not only undemocratic but, experience has shown, it will fail. »a If the system aims at education, at making it easier for people to learn selfâ€"control, it is on the right track. The best method of determining the merit of any system of government control of the sale of brewed malt beverages is to apply this simple test. it should be, is so small that everyone can afford the best. The use of good lumber and firstâ€" class mechanical construction means a better home and a very much better equity.
