It was an unusual meeting that was held in the United Church at Timmins yesterday. It was the first of its kind ever held in the Porcupine Camp, and it is doubtful if a similar gathering has been held in Canada since the days of the Armenian atrocities, when protests were made in churches and public halls against the lesser brutalitiés of the Turks. The meeting yesterday was a public protest by citizens of this camp against the wholeâ€" sale robbery, murder, spoilation and degradation by Nazi Germany of the Jewish people. A resoluâ€" tion of protest was passed by unanimous standing vote asking the Canadian Government to enter the most earnest protest against the German brutality Similar meetings were held yesterday throughout Canada and the United States. These meetings were not organized by Jewish people, but were the spontaneous demonstrations of British and United States citizens, irrespective of creed or racial origin or political opinions. Mr. E. L. Longmore in addressing the meeting voiced the opinion that such meetings might have the effect of amelioraiâ€" ing the desperate situation of the Jews in Nazi Germany. He ventured the opinion that Gerâ€" many was not nearly so disregardful of world opinâ€" .on as it pretended to be. The expressions of disâ€" regard for this opinion, with the accompanying right thing to do. In the first place, without such protest, Nazi Germany might feel that the world condoned its senseless persecution of the Jewish people, or at least was not particularly concerned about it. With these protests from otherwise friendly peoples, the Germans have no excuse for believing that their brutality and disregard for all humane considerations are not considered and condemned. There is a second and still more important reaâ€" son for this form of protest. It clears the people of civilized lands from the possible imputation o{ complicity in these fiendish crimes. Silence in the face of the crimes acknowledged could not be defended. â€" Civilized peoples owe it to themselves to protest against such abominations. Many may feel that protest should be carried further than mere resolutions. In any event the protest in itself is well worth while. It shows where civilizâ€" ed peoples stand in the matter. It stands on reâ€" cord by unanimous standing vote that wholesale murder, robbery, violence, torture and injustice come under the ban of British and United States peoples. All will hope with deepest sincerity that Mr. Longmore is right in his deductions. But whether this is the correct view or not, thoughtful people will feel that in any case the public protest was the A Western editor comments on the writing of obituary notices in a light way that may make appeal to the thoughtless. ‘He suggests that he has written encomiums on the dishonest, spoken of the beautiful home life of the wifeâ€"beater, and extolled the virtue of the immoral. In brief, that in the desire to speak only well of the dead, he has persistently lied about those who have passed away. He concludes with the words:â€"*"I did it with the best of intentions; and here‘s hoping that when I embark for the journey over the Styx, there‘ll be someone to lie for me." The editorial would scarcely be worth not{ce were it not for the fact that by reâ€"producing it with a few introducâ€" tory remarks, and giving it the honour of a place in its editorial columns, The Bowmanville Statesâ€" man confers on the thoughtless Western product Bubscription Rates Canacdaâ€"â€"$3.00 Per Year. United 8 ‘reats, in reality suggested that Nazi Germany was concerned about what the civilized peoples of the world thought about the matter. a dignity not at all deserved by its falsity. The Advance has read many an cbituary notice in The Bowmanville Statesman, with knowledge of the subjects written about, and has failed to find any of the falsehoods implied as common to Oobituary notices. It is true that obituaries in The Statesâ€" man often speak,.in praise of the dead. It is true that many obituaries in other weekly and daily mnewspapers picture the passing as men and woâ€" men of integrity, of public spirit, of noble characâ€" ter and kindly disposition. This is not falsehood, but the truth. The world is full of good people, gentle people, helpful people, clever people, and in the course of time these people pass on to another life. It is but fitting that the good things that should have been said about them in their life, at least should not go unrecorded for ever. There is a miserable tendency in some minds, to think the worst, to believe the worst, to say the worst. The good newspaper should not encourage this tendâ€" ency, in regard to the living. Above all, it should not cater to depraved tastes by abuse of those no longer able to defend themselves. It is surely a confession of the rankest incompetence for a newspaper to admit that it can find no good to say of any man or any woman, without lying. There is some good in all. The average man or woman TIMMIN®, ONTARIO Menibers Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association:; Ontartoâ€" Qurbec Newspaper Association; Class ‘A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26 PHONES â€"â€"â€" RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO,. LAKE, Owner and Publisher Timmins, Ont., Monday, Nov. 21st, 1938 She Yorrupine hears enough of their weaknesses, their faults, their failings, as they pass along life‘s way. The good that is in them does not seem to attract so much notice. Surely, there is excuse, even virtue, if emphasis is given to the kindness, the good, the strength, the service givenâ€"even if this emphasis is left to the sad day when the death notice is written. There need be no falsehood, no exaggerâ€" ation, no overdrawing of the truth. The simple facts, in most cases, will leave nothing but praise to be given. One example may give the whole point of the thought in mind. The Advance many years ago had occasion to write the obituary notice of a woman who had been in police court more than once. Perhaps the Western editor‘s opinion of the truthful obituary for that poor woman would have been the phrase:â€""Deadâ€"a blindâ€" pigger and a prostitute." Yet that would have been a lying exaggeration, a travesty, falsehood of the rankest kind. It was not thus that neighâ€" bours thought of this woman. The truth is that these matters were in reality incidentals, comparâ€" ed to the qualities that naturally ruled the woâ€" man‘s life. The reference that was made in the obituary notice that did appear was the unvarnishâ€" ed truthâ€"that she was kind and generous, ready to help those in needâ€"and that the outstanding feature of her life was no lawâ€"breaking or immorâ€" ality, but that when an epidemic raged she spent her strength and time to nurse the sick, to comfort the dying, and to help the bereaved. To rememâ€" ber only the occasional lapses from the line of the law, and to omit the everyday, yearâ€"in, yearâ€"out life of cheerfulness, friendliness and kindly helpâ€" fulness to others, surely that would be lying of the worst type. If the world were full of nothing but rogues, wifeâ€"beaters, immoral people, the Western editor quoted might have some grounds for his halfâ€" humorous reflections. But this world is full of good people, kind people, helpful people. It is trusg that there is weakness, yes, and evil. But still the good is there in abundance. Sometimes, it needs the shock of death to rouse others to a realization of the nobility that has flourished beneath human error and oddity. It is hard to believe that Timmins should be greatly different from other towns and cities in its humanity. Yet there are few here about whom much good might not be truly said. The newspaperman who can not write any obituary notice without lying should seek some other callingâ€"probably something in the line of garbage collectionâ€"for his nose is not for news or for truth. It is interesting to note that the Ontario Deâ€" partment of Game and Fisheries has passed new regulations to make impossible any recurrence Of the nearâ€"tragedy at Larder Lake recently, when a small child had a narrow escape from death when the youngster was mauled by a supposedly tame bear kept at a wayside service station as an attracâ€" tion to tourists. In future it will not be permitted to keep in captivity any bear over a yearâ€"old withâ€" out a special permit from the department. In addition it is provided that any animals so kept in captivity shall be securely enclosed in a pen at least 200 feet in area, provided with proper shade and shelter and a suitable tank for water. Hereâ€" after all bears found to be held in captivity withâ€" out all the regulations fully carried out are to be destroyed immediately by the department officials. All this has been accomplished without a reâ€" gular tragedy, though the child at Larder Lake had so miraculous an escape that it might be conâ€" sidered as being almost as forceful in its lesson as i1 GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER mt stt a death had resulted. The newspapera of the North played their part in forcing the matter on the attention of the authorities and building pubâ€" lic opinion in the matter. C It may be noted that the new regulations not only protect the public, but they also miminize the chances of illâ€"treatment or suffering for the animals. This is the proper attitude and credit should be given the Dept. of Game and Fisheries for thus looking at both sides of the picture. It would be pleasing if the same department showed a similar determination to avoid cruelty and sufâ€" fering for the animals concerned in this matter of the bow and arrow faddists. Game should be protected from the chance of torture from the weilders of these weapons of the dark ages. The department should not wait for tragedyâ€"even though the tragedy might be for the game animals alone. The very fact that Nazi Germany has gone back to the methods of torture of long ago should be all the more reason why in this civilized country of Canada ancient forms of cruelty should be avoided, even though only animals are involved. ‘PROTECTING MEN AND ANIMALS Easter and Armistice Day, should be observed on Mondays rather than on the actual days upon which they may fall. At first the resolution was framed to include Armistice Day, but this raised so much protest that Armistice Day was exempted. Cecil Frost has been mentioned as a candidate for the post of leader of the Conservative party in Ontario. Mr. Frost, however, has declined the honour, if honour it be. Possibly he feels that there have been too many Frosts in that position lately.

If there is logic in the idea of observing special dates on the nearest Monday, it would seem that the matâ€" ter could be easily carried along to its logical conâ€" clusion and have all holidays fall when the weaâ€" ther is fineâ€"on Mondays, perhaps. It will be found that if the government follows the idea proâ€" posed by the Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, all holidays will lose their special significance, and what will remain will be a series of holidays falling on Mondays, with no particular significance to any of them, except in the increase, perhaps, in the ieath roll from traffic accidents.

Police broke open the chest, In it was found stone and heavy metal crucibles. metal mortars, asbestos gloves, trov weight scales and a quantity of borax. Also were found some "chippings." Police say that such equipment would be used for gold refining. Ore would be mixed with borax and melted in one of the crucibles. The borax would take the impurties out of the ore. Final reâ€" sult, after the mixture cooled, would be a black clinker. The clinker would be chipped away and in its centre would be found the pure gold. The black clinker is known as "chippings." Poulin denied all knowledge of the shack and all it contained. He knew nothing about it and believed it was on another lot and not the one he occuâ€" pied. Police knew that someone had reâ€" cently been at shack because of the ‘resh footprints and the burning fire. A search vof the surrounding district availed them nothing. The obvious deduction is that a numâ€" ber of highgraders have been using the shack and equipment to refine gold ore., Police believe that the shack may have been used as a point of operations in a high grading ring.
