"In the article from the Timmins Advance reproduced today on this page a nice distinction is drawn between progress and mere growth. "Size of a ‘Town Doesn‘t Matter"â€"so long as the people are healthy and prosperous, the writer soundly maintains. "Timimins, throughout its 25 years of existence, has developed along steady lines, we are told, has placed first things first and avoided the growing pains that have given a troubled adolescence to many of the other mining towns. "The prosperity of Timmins is doubtâ€" less due in large measure to wise adâ€" ministration and forethought, and to the sober sense of values of its indiviâ€" dual citizens. But Nature also has taken a hand. Endorsing Idea that Size Doesn‘t Spell Progress "The size of a town, after all, is not determined by its residents; it is govâ€" erned by economic lawsâ€"by the acciiâ€" dehnt of situation, the opening up or dwindling of resources, improvement in transportation facilities, and other facâ€" tors, In commenting on a recent editorial in The Advance, the editorial being reproduced in full by the Ottawa newsâ€" paper, The Ottawa Journal last Priâ€" day had the following editorial article: "A town is fortunate indeed if its growth is smooth, if new facilities and develspments occur which enable it to maintain its numbers always at the optimum, not only from the angle of productive capacity, but also in condiâ€" THURSDAY.

But do you carry this same courteous habit of thought and action onto the highways and practise it towards your fellowâ€" motorist when you are driving? Unfortunately many do not! And why?

And there is much to be said for its contention that size of a town is no criterion of a healthy individual and ommunity life. "The smaller towns today, owing largely to improvements in transport facilities, can enjoy many of the amenâ€" ities that used to be the exclusive priâ€" vilege of the cities, while remaining free from their complexity, their slums and overcrowding. "They can avoid these problems, but only too often, unfortunately, they do not.
