JJ44 land so lon A minority, does not al United Stat eredit to t was taken up with replies from Germany to Canâ€" adian criticism of the Nazi attitude and actions. If Germany were completely disregardful of world opinion, certainly there would not be so much resentment shown of the criticism. Those who are indifferent to what others think do not take the trouble to make extended reply. It is apparâ€" ent that the protests from Britain, France, the United States and from the British Dominions have had more than passing effect. Germany has expressed anxiety in regard to falling trade. Reâ€" uction of trade is a most effective form of proâ€" test, it may be noted in passing. Some of the deospatches appear to indicate a tendency on the part of Nazi Germany to curb its senseless brutality towards the Jewish people. It would appear that not only were the protests fully warranted, not only were these expressions of disapproval of an orgy of bestial treatment of innocent people essential for the maintenance of the selfâ€"respect of the civilized people of the world, but it seems that the protests should be continued and exterdâ€" ed. Humane people seem to owe this to themâ€" selves. If they can do no more than protestâ€"at least they can do thatâ€"should do that. Were the matter not so tragic, there would be a touch of humour in the German reply to the proâ€" tests of the civilized nations. One form taken by the Nazi response is to question the virtue of Unitâ€" ed States women. It may be taken for gramted that there are some women in the United States who are not as moral and as conventional as they might be. That is true also of Germany and of other lands. It will perhaps remain true of every land so long as people are as human as they are. A minority, noisy and forward though they may be. does not alter the fact that the vast majority of United States women are of the finest type â€" a credit to themselves and a glory to their nation. The vast majorityâ€"good mothers, good wivesâ€"are At the public meeting held in Timmins United Church on Sunday afternoon to protest against the Nazi persecution of the Jews, Mr. E. L. Longâ€" more suggested ‘that the German government appeared"to him as quite sensitive to public opinâ€" ion in the world and accordingly the protest might have much effect. Monday‘s daily papers gave evidence that Mr. Longmore was right in his sugâ€" gestion. ~Much of the front page of The Globe doulb! A Hamilton dentist was sentenced to jail som® days ago for being drunk in charge of a motor car. he magistrate also saw to it that the dentist lost his plates When he faced the court, even the dentist‘s pull could not save him. He found out that there were teeth in the law. In effect, the magistrate said to the dentist: "You may think you belong to the upper set, but you are not to be allowed to gum up traffic, or to kill the nerve of others whomay have to use the public thoroughâ€" fares. I intend to clamp down on all you fellows. You are lucky that you are not going to the chair. I‘m going to drill it into you that you must conâ€" sider the feelings of others. You can‘t chisel your way out of this, For the next few days you will be filling a cavity in the county jail. This will hurt you a little: The evidence says you were noisy and hilarious. In future you should watch your mouth, avoid a bad breath, and be careful with your machine. I hope you come out clean and easily, without the use of gas, and that you resolve hereafter to bridge the gap that now separates you from good citizenship, and that never again will the police have to crown you for endangering the lives of your patients and the lives of the patients of other dentists. Everybody runs down to the dentist these days, so the dentist should not try to run down everybody." Of course, the magistrate may not have used just those parâ€" ticular words. But the moral was along those lines. Dentists should reserve all their liquor for their patients. A man with a raging tooth may be relieved by a tot of rum. Liquor isn‘t too bad to drop"into an aching tooth. But nothing but pain results when even a few drops of it get into a motor car.

The Star points out that there is at gprcsent notable activity in the West Shiningtree golid area. There are seyveral properties that apâ€" pear to be shaping up to become producers. They are held back by lack of transportation facilities. A road between Milnet and West Shiningtree would give the Shiningtree camp ready access to Sudbury. It would mean d great impetus to the gdevelopment of the mining area. It would also likely result in newer mining fields being developâ€" ed. To make the necessary connection between Milnet and West Shiningtree would only require the building of some fifty miles of road. With this connecting link, there would not only be ready access to West Shiningtree but also to Gowganda, Elk Lake Matachewanâ€"other mining fields of proâ€" . mise. Such a connecting roadway would meanf much to the development of rich mineral country. The Sudbury Star is doing public service in urging the immediate construction of this fifty miles of badlyâ€"needed highway. uration of Canadian newspapers have taken up the cudgels on behalf of the Indians when it was believed that they were in want. This attitude showed that th» people of Canada would not tolerate even neglect of the interests of the Indians. It also showed that Canada is a free country where newspapers and public men are able to express their views without fear. If Herr Hitler has any information through any of his agents in Canada as to the treatment of the Indians in this country, he may be sure that so far as it suggests any resemblance to the idiotic and sadistic treatment of the Jews: in Germany, it is absolutely false. He may be‘ equally assured that so far as it may have a grain of truth in the way of any neglect or carelessness for the interests of the Indians in Canada, the people will protest in such fashion that no governâ€" ment would dare continue a policy of inattention.l The Canadian people believe in humane and en-‘ lightened treatment of all peoplesâ€"they believe in justice, in decency, in honesty, in liberty, in fair play. They will protest oppresson, brutality, inâ€" decency, wherever these evil things may raise their mean heads. The Nazi German reference to the matter oi the Indians in Canada might well be cited, not only to stamp as falsehood the suggestion of any oppression of the Indians by the government, but it might also be used to contrast the Canadian and the Nazi German attitudes towards those un â€" able to defend themselves. On several occasions il development The charge that the Indians in Canada were mistreated met with very prompt and emphatic denial from Dr. H. McGili, Director of Indian Afâ€" fairs in Canada. Dr. McGill quoted the facts to show that the Indians are not only free from abuse or persecution, but that they have privileges not enjoyed by other Canadians. They have free land, pay no taxes, and there is a fund of some fourteen million dollars for the care of the Indians in time of stress. There is not a single case on record where an Indian suffered injustice or opâ€" pression at the hands of the government. It would be unthinkableâ€"beyond the powe"rs even of a paperhanger‘s imagination to picture Canaâ€" dian mobs attacking the Indians who are the wards of the government. As to it being none of Canada‘s business what brutality Germany may visit upon the Jewish people, there are several complete replies. All civilized people are vitally concerned in the preâ€" servation of liberty, decency and the dignity of humanity. Canadian people could not hold their| own seifâ€"respect, if they stood by and allowed such inhuman atrocities as have been visited upon the Jews in Germany to pass without protest. Anâ€" other form of the reply might take the stand that the shamefully mistreated people are in so many cases relatives of Canadian and other British peoâ€" ples. There are no subjects more loyal to the British Empire than the Jewish people who are citizens of this land. To harm their kin in Gerâ€" many or elsewhere is to bring sadness and regret close indeed to the Canadian people. It should not be forgotten that the persecuted Jewish people of Germany have a particular appeal to the British and Canadian people. 1 ! 18 nce of Onta S»hinin 11 understood that the Town of Timmins does of older mini: ‘amp.

Apparently, Merriton is one town that need not hesitate to publish a financial statement. At the same time, it is not likely that many in Merriton will be presumptuous enough to urge that the town needs new blood, yqunger men, and all the rest of the common talk often heard along that line. The town clerk at Merriton must m close to a record in Ontario for efficient municipal service. Richard Clark was clerk of Merritoh.more than 35 years ago. If he has made a recofd for long service, he has also made still more not.able record for effecâ€" live and faithful conduct of the business of the town. â€" Mayors and councfllors have come and not intend to publish any financial statement this year. In response to the saying once more or less {amous in this townâ€""it is the public‘s money and the public is entitled to know‘"â€"the reply seems to be that any ratepayer who wishes to know what has happened to his taxes, including the taxes for coal chutes and signs and fire escapes, can quench his thirst for knowledge by calling at the town hall and examining the town books. How many are likely to do this? Any ratepayer is entitled to answer that question for himself. In other years it has been the custom to publish at least a conâ€" densed statement showing the position of the town‘s finances. There have been towns that neglected to give this information to the public. Most of them, however, eventually had a complete financial statement given to the world. It is statâ€" ed that the provincial municipal department has said that it would be "all right" for Timmins to forego the publishing of a financial statement. It might be "all right," but "all right‘" for whom? and phr; soot According as his light is, I do not doubt those grapes a But I fear appendicitis. Cheaper to be Sick In the closing years of laskt too, came tariff changes that resulted in lower prices for | the United States, but also this caustic outburst: The cost of drugs and medic Are havinz such a fall, Cut prices will bring sicknes Within the reach of all.

The Appendix What chance has science, we ask, with a desperate character of that sort? In the following stanza, there is a note of wistfulness, if not despair: If a body meet a body, Coming through the rye, Can‘t a body kiss a body, Por fear of bacilli? There can be little doubt that 18985 was a momertous year in the history of medicine. Then, or thereabout, the appendix emoerged from conturics of cbscurity to achieve an unhappy noâ€" toriety. In the book of medical rhymes from which these gems are stolen, even one of the fables from the farâ€"off days of Acesop has been brought right up to date: â€"â€"OoL that year, is before us. It would @ppear that medicine was ingloriously defeaited in that battle ‘twixt poets and doctors, for the osculatory exercise is as popular as ever. Note the fine scorn in this opening shot of the conflict: Microbes in the kiss you say! Right you are, my boy, Little germs of puress bliss, Bacilli of joy. And consider this ‘touching atory which tells of the reckless defiance of a loveâ€"lorn swain in his reaction to the ban on kissing: There was a man in our town once in a while, its ponderous feet go blundering into the realm of romance, and a fight promptly ensues. It was in 1895 {hat a coldâ€"blooded scientist anâ€" nounced that in kissing lurked a grave danger of discase and infection. A queer old anthology of poems dealing with the momentous issueâ€"and others â€"Oof that year, is before us. It would the embattled pocts somcetimes take the offensive. Then, beneath a terriâ€" fic barrage of deadly verses, the hapâ€" less medicoes throw down their protss and scalpels, adjust masks more tnugly, and resreat in panic and disâ€" order.
