There is a proverb about how soon people forget. This fickleness is not to the credit of humanity. But it is more apparent than real. The public is only an aggregation of individuals and individuals remember much. In recent days there has been evidence of this. Reports were current that the grave of Sir John A. Macdonald, one of the great men who helped found the Dominion of Canada, was being neglected in Cataraqui cemetery at Kingston, Ontario. As soon as these reports were published there was protest and call for proper action. The notable part Sir John A. Macdonald had played in the early days of the Dominion were recalled and emphasized. It was pointed out that to neglect the grave of this great pioneer, this builder, this statesman was to cast reflection upon all the people of Canada. The protest was not confined to members of the Conservative party, of which Sir John A. had been the talented and skilful head in this country for so many years. From Liberal newspapers and Liberal public men came some of the most pointed protest. It did not take long to bring action and full assurance that the last resting place of this outstanding son of Canada will be cared for and tended in fitting way, as a mark of honour to the man himself and a token of respect to the people whom he served so faithfully and well. The danger of neglect of the grave of this maker of Canada was not that the people were forgetful but that so many other interests had crowded into their livesâ€"not that Canadians are ungrateful, but that at times thoughtlessness creeps in. Those in any way responsible for encouraging Robert Jardine to visit this continent are thus reâ€" paid for their attitude. Canadians and Americans for their pains, are branded as middle and lower class. Whether the order of classes of the two peoples is suggested by the order in which the forâ€" mer clergyman places them is a matter that he alone knows. On the face of it, it would appear that Canadians are only middle class folks while Americans are theâ€"lower strata. Asâ€"aâ€"matterâ€" of fact there are as many classes in Canada or elseâ€" where in America as there are in Jardine‘s Engâ€" land. He is equally astray in imagining that "Canadians or Americans" do not fully understand the complete meaning of the word "cad." People on this continent unfortunately have had to enâ€" dure many cads from many places in many days and many ways. There are even English dictionâ€" aries to define the meaning of a "cad.‘" The King‘s English Dictionary says a "cad" is "a hangerâ€"on, a low fellow." There is no definition of an "ecclesiastical cad," but the terms do not appear in the slightest degree appropriate for that disâ€" tinguished clergyman, the Archbishop of Canterâ€" bury. Experience has taught the middle and the lower classes the inner meaning of that English expression, ‘"a cad." Indeed, there is a disposiâ€" tion in this country to believe that the expre.ssion' "the lower classes"" is more or less the WOI‘dS of a cad and show the caddish mind. Indeed, to paraâ€" phrase #he words of a former chief of police at Timmins: "If the exâ€"clergyman is not himself a cad, he‘ll do tiil we get one." Robert Jardine was once a clergyman of the Church of England. Against the rules and regulaâ€" tions of that church he officiated at a marriage ceremony that concerned a divoreed person, and for this disregard of his own professed religious beliefs he was turned from the church service. To the average clergyman such a fate might apâ€" pear like the end of his world, but not to Mr. Jarâ€" dine. To him it appeared the opening of a new worldaâ€"a world of notoriety, of public lecturing, of vaudeville publicity and excitement. He emâ€" barked on a lecture tour that was to embrace the United States and Canada. Just what his recepâ€" tion would have been in this country is a matter for question. He might have drawn crowds of the idle and the thoughtlessâ€"even of some of the inâ€" telligent to learn what manner of man this might be. But in the meantime he made a vicious atâ€" tack upon the Archbishop of Canterbury. Among other things he called that prelate "an ecclesiasâ€" tical cad." That meant headlines in some newsâ€" papers for Mr. Jardine, and perhaps he was happy in that for the time. But it meant also that he was given to understand that he would not be welâ€" come in Canada. Halls that he had engaged or hoped to engage for lecture purposes were closed to him. At Detroit some days ago he attempted explanations and excuses that seem to make the matter worse. He blames the people of this conâ€" tinent for misunderstanding his words and attiâ€" tude. He said:;â€""A cad is a man who forgets he is a gentleman. . It is a term used only in the highâ€" est society and.not understood by the middle and + 'I would not expect Canadians and Americans to be familiar with it." TIMMINS®, ONTARIO.

LAKE, Owner and Publisher Oanadaâ€"â€"$2.00 Per Year Timmins, Ont., Thursday, August 12th, 1937 PAGE FPOUR Ee Yarrugine Aduance Subscription Rates Medical men who are making a special study of silicosis and sinus might take thought as to how much of these diseases in this particularly healthy cpuntry is due to the prevalence of dust on the roads and streets and consequently in the houses and throats and noses of the people. One of the Dionne quintuplets was reported last week as ill with a throat infection. Her recovery. however, was duly reported. But this week word from Callander is to the effect that all the five famous sisters are now ill with head colds and are being kept in hospital and away from the public until their recovery. There used to be a popular belief that if one of a pair of twins contracted any disgease from measles to housemaid‘s knee, the other twin would suffer similarly. If such«an idea is to be followed out with the quintuplets it would be too bad. "Do you know the man there? The one with the straw hat?" Though it is August and the weaâ€" ther warm that phraseâ€""the one with the straw hat"â€"distinguished the gentleman from the scores of other men on street. Take a look around and see how few straw hats there are on street even on the hottest days! How few even in the store winâ€" dows! â€" Lots of upâ€"todate lads without any hats at all!l Lots with caps! But the old straw hat is not a common sight! With the old town hall a thing of the past, and with tenders called this week for building a new town hall, Timmins may have a new town hall when it is built. ® It may be quite proper that people‘s sense of humour should appear funny. But the idea of a to the cemetery. For years, the people were soothed with the story that nothing could be done about the cemetery until title deeds were obtained for the property. This no longer carries weight in the general demand for a properly tended cemeâ€" tery. There are powers of appropriation to offset title deeds. The Legion has shown something of what may be done to beautify the cemetery and bring order and dignity to the graves of those who have passed on. Kirkland Lake cemetery is toâ€" day a proof conclusive that a neglected spot may be turned into a place of beauty and of quiet honâ€" our. On behalf of those who have loved ones in the Timmins cemetery and still more on behalf of the pioneers and others who are for the moment without friends or relatives able and circumstancâ€" ed to see that the graves are kept clean and honâ€" oured, The Advance makes appeal that something be done and done at once to make the Timmins cemetery reflect the respect, the affection and the honour felt by the people of Timmins for those no longer able to enforce their own rights...If Mayor Bartleman is rightly quoted as suggesting that a cemetery commission should not be formed beâ€" cause such a body might spend some of the public money or refuse to slavishly bow to his dictatorial will, then the mayor in no measure reflects the popular will. The people of Timmins would have their dead honoured and respected and they would have the cemetery a place of beauty and of silent tribute of the interest and affection felt by the living for the loved ones who have laid down the work and worry of life and rest a while in "God‘s Acre." At a picnic in East York Hon. Geo. S. Henry told the youngsters that some day they would be the electors of the province. Few people ever believed that the genial George S. would ever become a spoil sport! The same defence must be made of the people of Timmins in regard to the apparent neglect of the pioneers and others who are buried in the Timmins cemetery. The general appearance of the Timmins cemetery is not the mark of the feelâ€" ings of the people of the town. Rather the genâ€" eral respect for the dead is shown by the plots so considerately tended by the Legion and the many other beautified graves so lovingly cared for by families and friends and fraternal organizations. There are graves in the cemetery, however, with no loving family or close friend to fondly watch and guard and beautify. In many cases these are the graves of true pioneersâ€"men and women who served their day and generation and passed to rest in the land they had helped to make. In the years that have passed their families and friends have moved away, or perhaps joined them in the city of the dead. It is not so much a mark of disâ€" respect for the dead that these graves are neglectâ€" ed. It is rather a reflection on the living that any such neglect should be allowed to continue. The people of Timmins in general will feel a measâ€" ure of disgrace when they think of these neglected graves and of the general air of unkemptness about the Timmins cemetery. Not alone the chivalry of a people but the degree of civilization of a community may be measured by its attitude towards children, towards women, towards the dead. Timmins has appeared to take the attitude that nothing should be withheld in effort or money to assure the fairest chance for every child. Women have always been respected here. From tiie earliest days there has been respect and honour for the dead. Those who cannot help themselves have always found a sure defence and a ready protection in Timmins. The Advance beâ€" lieves that all this will be proven again in regard PORCUPINE ADVANCE. TIMMINS3, ONTARIO A very pretty wedding took place in St. Anthony‘s Roman Catholic church on Tuesday morning at 8 a.m., when Rev. Fr. Therriault, united in marriage, Madeleine Emma, daughter joke held by some Sudbury fellows séems far from laughable. At a dance at Sudbury on Saturday night ladies in evening gowns and those with sheer stockings, sockees, or nature‘s leg garb, were seen to hurriedly leave their partners. The men, nonâ€" plussed, continued the dance as a stag affair. But not for long! Soon the men followed the ladies from the dance fioor.. A copious quantity of itchâ€" ing powder dropped on the floor was responsible for the clearing of the dance floor. Kicked up by the dancing feet, it soon caused every dancer to promptly seek a quiet place to scratch. The dancâ€" ers lost the itch to dance in the itch to scratch. Eventually the powder‘s power faded and the dancâ€" ing was resumed. Then another form of soâ€"called humour was shown. A "stink bomb" was exploded on the orchestra stage, and all the members of the orchestra had to hurriedly depart from the hall, holding hands with their noses, or words to that effect. No doubt these humorists at Sudbury will boast to their grandsons in years to come about the original brand of humour they displayed at the dance. In the meantime, however,.they had better say nothing to their grandfathers who are likely to tell them that this sort of humour was out of date even in the later barn dance days. It is a much easier thing to pack a party meetâ€" ing or a party convention than to win an election by unethical means.
