As might be expected the panic occurred in the United States the motherâ€"inâ€"law of radio. It is interesting to note that it was Charlie McCarthy who saved Canada from danger of this panic. While United States stations were carrying the programme that caused panic in the United States, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation stations were presenting the woodenâ€"headed genius. While United States radio fans were presumably shaking with fear over a bogus newsâ€"cast programme that suggested the destruction of numerous cities, Canâ€" adian listeners to the radio were presumably shakâ€" ing with laughter over the witty quips of the little sideâ€"partner of Edgar Bergen. At last the radio has accomplished what some radio announcers seem to have been striving to do for years. The radio has actually created a panic. No intelligent radio fan would be surprised at ri0t, murder or sudden death resulting from the radio, but panic appears to have been expected only by a few announcers. Of course, these announcers have been continually suggesting that their news broadcasts, their programmes, their artists, have been so sensational, so thrilling, so colossal that a state approaching panic has been threatened most of the time. No one paid any particular atâ€" tention to these announcers. Like the young yokel of yore, however, with his ecry of "wolf! wolf!" the call went out once too often, and radio has its panic all right. Surely it does not take much consideration to prove the fact that there can be no minimum wage unless there is also some minimum price for the service that earns the wage. This is something that the public is liable to overlook, but it is an essential fact. There always appears to be public sympathy in the matter of men seeking fair rates of pay for their labour, but it is not so generally recognized that without fair prices for goods and service, decent wages are impossible. If the code for wages for barbers in Sudbury is to be mainâ€" tained it is imperative that bootlegging of services be stamped out. Indeed, without the active inâ€" terest of the public the situation will be difficult indeed. There is no possibility of high wages for barbers and low prices for haircuts and shaves. An earnest and sincere public cowld soon stamp out bootlegging. No bootlegger in any business can live without patronage. And what applies to the barber business holds true for other callings and professions, trades and businesses. The radio panic was caused by a programme preâ€" sented over the Columbia Broadcasting system. It was a dramatic offering of the story, ‘"War of the Worlds," by H. G. Wells, the English author and adapter. The dramaâ€"or whatever it might be calledâ€"was given in the form of a newsâ€"cast, and told of the North. Ameriecan continent being visited by creatures from the planet Mars, with their deathâ€"dealing rays, and whatâ€"not. New York and other cities were described as being atâ€" tacked by the Martian monsters and wiped off the face of the earth. The hysteria accompanying the oneâ€"hour radio programme is said to have swamped police and newspaper offices of New York and New Jersey towns and cities. Hundreds of people are said to have fled into the streets in terror. Hundreds are alleged to have rushed hither and thither, not to mention yon, seeking some place to flee to escape the murderous mob from Mars believed to have landed from a space rocket. In Toledo, Ohio, three persons fainted at telephones while trying to call police. In Chiâ€" cago, persons ran out of restaurants without finâ€" The latest penalty for bootlegging in barber serâ€" vice in Sudbury included costs of $13. This meant that a total of $18 was required of the erring masâ€" ter barber. The alternative for him was fifteen days in jJail. "T‘ll go to jail," said the barber. ‘"I couldn‘t make $18 in 15 days at my trade," he addâ€" ed. Like many another bootlegger, that barber ‘"‘"spilled the beans." If he can‘t make $18 in 15 days at his trade, how can he be expected to pay his employees $18 a week to conform with the minimum wage called for by the code for barbers? Still more important, how can other barbers pay the minimum wage to employees, so long as they are in competition with opposition that Boes not profess to be able to earn $18 in fifteen days? Last week a Sudbury barber was fined $5 and costs for cutting a man‘s hair for less than fifty cents per cut. This is not the first case of this kind in Sudbury. Apparently Sudbury is deterâ€" mined to stamp out bootlegging in barbering. Every good citizen will wish Sudbury the best of luck in its battle against bootlegging in barbering service. But remembering the vitality of the other type of bootlegger, who survived the Ontario Temperance Act, the Liquor Control Act, and who has even taken on flesh under Hepburn‘s beer palaces, wishes may not be as hopeful as they might be, Timmins, Ont., Thurs., November 3rd, 1938 .00 Per Year Mensibers Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontariloâ€" Qurbee Newspaper Association; Class ‘A" Weekly Group OFPFICE 26 PHONES â€"â€"â€"â€" RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO, LAKE, Owner and Publisher Bubscription Rates: Che Vorrugine Advance TVMMINX®, ONTARIO The Advance also questions any particular emâ€" »hasis on "the serious public responsibility of those who are licensed to operate stations." If any such "serious public responsibility" exists up to date, it has completely escaped the attention of those who listen in. The public will be inclined to believe that those who operate radio stations are chiefly concerned with making money, and would not worry about panics or anything else, or about the evil influence of sex and gangster plays and propaganda, so long as the money came along. In this matter, the real "serious public responâ€" sibility" is upon those supposed to control radio in the public interestsâ€"the government commissions appointed and highly paid to do this work. If they do not realize their paramount responsibility, there will be little chance of freedom from further paniecs. In Canada, radio is apparently conducted with the public the last parties to receive considerâ€" ation or protection. If the attitude of the United States commission supposed to control radio is on a par with the Canadian concept, the United States public might just as well prepare itself for further panics. Indeed, if the public have the audacity to say too much about radio crimes, a radio license tax may be imposed upon all radio owners to teach them a needed lesson. Despatches from the United States indicate that the reaction was correspondingly bitter. The Columbia Broadcasting System was inundated with protest telephone and telegram calls and its soâ€" called press department was extremely busy with explanations and apologies. Of course, the proâ€" tests extended to Washington, and there the chairâ€" man of the Federal Communications Commission !had the matter very forcibly called to his attenâ€" kion. He is quoted as saying he "would withhold fAinal judgment" on the broadcast until later, but he ventured the statement that "any broadcast that creates such general panic and fear as this one is reported to have done, to say the least, is regrettable." That was putting the matter mildly, but reasonably. This chairman, however, was not so happy in his words when he said that "the reâ€" action of the public demonstrated the power of radio‘" and "the serious public responsibility oi those who are licensed to operate radio stations." In this issue, Mr. J. M. Woods, of Schumacher, has another letter protesting against the proposed plan of using bows and arrows in the hunting of game in the North. It is to be hoped that Mr. Woods continues the agitation, and that he is joined by all other sportsmen and all with humane feelings until there is so much objection to the silly and cruel idea that the government or other authority will see to it that this stupid fad is killed before it really starts. It is not too much to say that instead of demonâ€" strating the power of radio, the panic gave very striking proof of the weakness of radio in certain lines. The panic evidenced the truth of a point repeatedly made against radioâ€"that it is a misâ€" take to allow mediocre entertainers to pretend that the radio has special facilities for the disâ€" semination of news. In the way of providing enâ€" tertainment the radio has notable possibilities for public service. In attempting to present informaâ€" tion, however, it is inherently weak. The panic proved once more that people do not listen to the radio with any particular care or attention. It is only fair to the Columbia Broadcasting System to say that the pretended newsâ€"cast about the men from Mars was prefaced with a full and clear exâ€" planation that the hour‘s programme was a draâ€" matic offering, absolutely fictional, and without pretentied probability. Also, the programme was interrupted four separate occasions to inform all listeners that the offering was no more than a drama and entirely apart from fact. Despite these five distinct and definite warnings, enough people were deceived into panic. That does not prove any power of the radio, surely. Rather it suggests that large numbers of people are sadiy in need of some sort of education and balance not supplied by radio. Mr. Woods was first stirred to make protest when { there was only one gang of these bow and arrow| hunters planning to offend the North with theirI presence. Since then, however, there have been reports of other groups of bow and arrow boys preparing to come north to injure the game of this country and raise strenuous opposition to anyâ€" thing and everything in the name of sport. Just as converts to the foolish fad have grown, so should determined opposition increase. Anyone who wishes for fun or fancy to go back j to the dark ages for weapons may be allowed to do so, if they confine their practise to wooden or unâ€" feeling targets. The use of bows and arrows in the hunting of game is another matter. It can only result in unnecessary cruelty and suffering.| It may be true that most of the hunters with bows and arrows would be able to inflict little damage to game. Mr. Woods has suggested that these hunters with the weapons of the dark ages could only shoot the animals in the water or near the water. He is very right in his thought that there would be little of real sport; in this form of huntâ€" ing. It would be a rare case, indeed, where a ishing their meals. There were persons who were forward to swear they saw the rocket. A Toronto woman looked across the bay and saw Buffalo in flames. In Newark, New Jersey, hundreds fied from two city blocks, carrying only the possessions they snatched up in their flight. Police and fireâ€" men in Eastern cities were kept busy responding to frenzied alarms. It was a panic all right. .( all Issued to Youth | by Governorâ€" (.enem! great advantages.

Also I think that we have in our North far greater asâ€" sets than any that Russia can claim. or car is elsewhere. "Some of you may have been followâ€" ing the work which Russia is doing in Northern Siberia. There she has an important strategical need, from which Canada is happily free; for it is vital to her in view of future dangers to have the Northâ€"east Passage by sea open to her territories on the Pacific. That passage is already working, and she is fast developing the timber and mining wealth on the lower reaches 1 the Yenesei and the Lena Rivers, and has placed no less than 40,000 settlers in those inhospitable regions, and spent not less than a billion dollars.‘ Her chief transport medium, as with us, is the air. So far it has been a notable achievement. but then she starts with "I have given you, gentlemen, thess two examples of our frontier workâ€"on the intellecutal and on the physical frontiers.

But no richer Sportsmen particularly should rally to stop this silly, senseless, useless cruelty. To permit it will be to disgrace the North. It will also prejudice the good name of sportsmanship. It is well within the mark to say that if this cruel foolishness is given any latitude, the public will soon be condemning the whole sport of hunting. It will not be long before there will be agitation against all forms of hunting and allied sports. The Department of Game and Fisheries, or the Society for the Preâ€" vention of Cruelty to Animals, should take prompt action to ban and bar the hunters who would turn back to the dark ages. tion and desvelopment is creeping on.

The probabilities all favour the idea of the unfortunate animal beâ€" ing simply wounded by one or more arrows. In most cases the moose, for instance, would be able to escape, but only to die a slow, painful death in the woods. The wounded animal could not get rid of the arrow, and it does not take much imaginâ€" ation to picture the agonizing suffering of the inâ€" jured animal doomed to carry the festering arrow till death came as a relief. According to a despatch from Amesbury, Massaâ€" chussetts, Guy L. Bean has received the Republiâ€" can nomination for representative from the First Essex district.
