Ns -l T ’ fih S ~s# !! e ' s “nn w â€" Quebec Assoctation : Canadian Newspaper w mm Class -A” W :o-muo othiy Group The welcome given by the people of Timmins and district to the delegates to the Provincial Convention of the Ontario Command of the Canâ€" adian Legion meeting here this week is very sinâ€" cere and wholehearted. The service of the soldiers during the war has not been forgotten in Tim- mins, and to this may be added the growing reaâ€" lization that Canada owes the returned men much for their work and attitude since the war. It is not too much to say that the returned soldiers as a class have had a vital part in keeping this country British in the days when all sorts of doctrines have been preached all over the world and forced upon some countries to their injury. If in Canaâ€" da neither communism nor fascism nor nazlism have been able to secure a grip on the land, much of the credit for this must be allotted to the reâ€" tirned men who have shown the same devotion to British traditions and Britisn freedom that they evidenced at the risk of life and limb during the war. Soldiers‘ organizations, and especially the Canadian Legion, have given a leadership and a support to British ideals and ideas worth much inâ€" deed to this country. In Timmins these things have been more apparent than in some other cenâ€" tres. Here, the Legion has been the bulwark of law and order and of British traditions. The leadership of the Legion in these matters should be noted and remembered. Timmins has been parâ€" ticularly fortunate in regard to the attitude of the local branch of the Canadian Legion. The work of that branch has been of such value to the town and district that delegates here to the‘ convention need not be surprised at the hearty4 welcome they receive nor at the suggestion that because they are members of the Legion they are necessarily accepted as good fellows and good citizens. In addition to its leadership in patriotic work, the Timmins branch of the Legion has shown a due regard for the welfare of the"® comâ€"_ munity as well as for the rights of the returned . men. One exaniple of this may be noted in the. attention given the Timmins cemetery by the Tlmmins Branch of the Legion. While the primary purpose of ‘the local Legion was to beautify the plots where returned men rested and to bring orâ€" Ger and dignity to the section of the graveyard reserved for exâ€"servicemen, the good work of betterment by the Legion has called attention to the need for greater care and.â€" thought for the whole city of the dead. Another example is the relief work carried on since the inauguration of the branch here. The Legion has looked after its own people, and thus has relieved the town of much cost and worry. Further, the local Legion has not confined its activities in this line to memâ€" pers of the Legion. A broad outlook has been taken. All returned menâ€"all naval menâ€"and their families have been watched over with kindâ€" ness and interest by the local Legion. In this way service of unusual value has been given the communlty, though the primary purpose. may .have been to assist exâ€"servicemgen and their deâ€" pendents It may be added that as citizens, the members of the local Legion have played well ;heir part. They have looked after their daily }vork in business, in the professions, in industry g.nd in the ordinary walks of life with credit to themselves and advantage to their fellows. As a consequence the Legion in Timmins stands high -â€"Jstapds high as an organization, and stands high for the calibre of its members Accordingly, in ,Timmms it is in large measure a mark ofedistineâ€" tion and of honour to be a Legionaire. The welâ€" cgme to other Legionaires from distant points ;5 consequently earnest and wholehearted as to visitors whose good repute has preceded them and Jriends whose worth has been proved. e _ Welcome! Members of the Provincial ‘ Comâ€" mand of the Canadian Legion! May your stay in Timmins be a happy one! And may you carry away as high an opinion of the town as Timmins holds of all exâ€"servicemen. ~‘"There are people who believe that it is as diffiâ€" cult these days to prevent war as it used to be easy to commience a conflict. History records the numâ€" ber of occasions on which bitter battles resulted from paltry causes. The newspapers toâ€"day sugâ€" gest by their headlines that the world is so full of major causes for war that the task is to keep justified enemies from flying at each other‘s throats and embroiling other nations in the fightâ€" Aing. Wars and rumours of wars have plagued the mmons through the centuries, and there are peoâ€" ‘ple toâ€"day (and with some justification for their u«s) who feel t.ha,t the present time is about the rstmmstoryforMandwartalk , .North h WELCOME TO LEGIONAIRES ins, Ont., Monday, Aug. 23rd, 1937 gone by.

In days gone by a declaration of war ‘could egsily have taken the place of the severance of diplomatic relations. It may be argued that Portugal is not in position to fight Czechoslovakia, and that Portugal does not desire arms or amâ€" munition so much as to . them delivered in the way the Czechos}gvami would land them in case of war. But the fm ramains that all nations of the present dayâ€"Portugal and Czechoslovakia includedâ€"require substantial reason before deâ€" Another and perh_g._kg %"[': more impressive illusâ€" tration of the modem,.‘}?lgas' about declaring war is the case of Francewhd the United States. The other day the newspapers were full of the story of the affront placed upon the mayor of Cannes by the.â€"son of the president.of the United States. -.‘I'.l'e""i're Nouveau, mayor of Cannes, told of how he saught to honour the great United States by preâ€" seriting a bouquet of flowers to John A. Roosevelt, son of the president, on the occasion of the hisâ€" toric festival of the "Battle of the Flowers." It was a gracious gesture of friendship, but what was its reward? The mayor of Cannes says that the youth insulted him, threw the contents of a botâ€" tle of champagne in his face, and slugged him over the head:â€"with the big bouquet of beautiful flowâ€" ers. To cap the climax, a.companion of the presiâ€" dent‘s son is said to have flung the bouquet into the gutter. Only a few years ago such an incident would surely have ledsto serious unpleasantness between two nations. The indignity of having courtesy met by rude rebuff, not to â€"mention squirting champagne in the face of a civic digniâ€" tary and battering him with a wet bouquet, would scarcely have been overlooked as little as fifty years ago. What happens toâ€"day? The mayor says he will forget and forgive because young people are not always wellâ€"bred in high places. He sugâ€" gests that the young Monsieur Roosevelt fnight at least have stayed long enough at Cannes to apologize for the rude conduct, instead of hurryâ€" ing away from the city several days before he had intended. The very restrained language of the mayor indicates that back in his mind there is the idea that too much champagne was thrown before «wand after the incident and that if less had been thrown before there would not have been any @spilled at the time of the incivility, and indeed there might not have been any incivility. And what is the response of the United States? Is there a claim that throwing champagne in mayors‘ faces and pounding them on the heads with bouquets are taught in the phblic schools of the United States and anyone who flouts the mighty traditions of the Great Republic must anâ€" swer at the cannon‘s mouthâ€"or words to that effect? Indeed, no! Instead there is no word at all from the U.S.A. And President Roosevelt never said a more gracious and diplomatic phrase than his silence on this issue. From the young Monsieur Roosevelt there comes a flat denial. He sé.ys he did not throw champagne one way or another. He denies ever meeting the mayor of Cannes. He asâ€" serts that he does not know a thing about it. The latter statement may be the truth completely. Young Monsieur Roosevelt explains that in any event it was not him, and that it must have been two other guys. In the latter case it must ‘have been Rudy Vallee. That fellow is always doing something like that. There was an odd error in The Halifax Mail in its report of the recent convention of the Canaâ€" dian Weekly Newspaper Association. The name of The Simcoe Reformer was printed as The Simcoe Informer. At that the intelligent compositor was not so badly out as might appear at first glance. The Simcoe Reformer is an ‘"informer" in the better meaning of that word, its wealth of inforâ€" mation in each issue being worthy of note. But anyway there is to be no war! The world after all has made some progress since the days when an alleged insult was taken by mighty naâ€" tions as full justification for battle and sudden death. / that the roads in Timmins are not much better. It is true that some streets in town are full of dangerous holes, while the dust is just about as bad as on the highway. But that is not a complete answer. The roads in Timmins are disgraceful, but that does not excuse governmental neglect of the highway. Two wrongs do‘"not make a right. Anyâ€" way, the government at present is attempting to do something to be'ttg f% conditions, while in Timmins announcexpe‘m) been made that no more oil will be pure C ?fns year, though the dust will be blowing m or months To refer to the trip of the Timmins business man, it should be said that he motored #6 the: South, but on his return trip he stoppeU at/North Bay, and reading of the horrors of the accident at Temagami, and remembering the condition of the roads in the North, he decided to leavehis car at Nort.h Bay and ‘continue his homewsard journey by train. |_ Timmins business man who has just returned from a motor trip to the South tells The Advance that the condition of parts of the Ferguson highâ€" way is indescribably bad."

These young men are to be brought to the North for the necessary training. The plan is worth study by the people of the North. Nothing is said of the disposition of these young men after the trainâ€" ing period is over. Are they simply to be turned adrift on the North to seek places for themselves? Or are they to be given preference over Northern young men now seeking work in these lines? The Ontario Government may itself find employment for those trained in forestry. It would pay the government to do so. The forest wealth of this country now in the hands of the Provincial Govâ€" ernment warrants largely increased staffs to see to its conservation. Much of the surplus labour in forestry work could be used profitably by the government in this way.
