Mayor Raiph C. Day was reâ€"elected by over 37,000 majority, receiving almost double the vots given the other candidate. For the Board of Conâ€" trol, the four present members were reâ€"electedâ€" Dr. F. J. Conboy, J. D. McNish, Fredâ€" Hamilton and W. J. Wadsworth. Tim Buck was in the runâ€" Toronto newspapers featured â€" so much the alâ€" leged effort of Communists to gain a place in the city‘s municipal affairs that there has been more than the usual interest in the outcome this year of the Toronto municipal elections. The Globe and Mail and The Toronto Telegram were both strongly opposed to the idea of having the slightâ€" est approach to remote control from Moscow of the city government. The certain or uncertain Toronto newspaper as usual seemed to favour the disciples of the Soviet. There was more than one public protest made in regard to the attitude of the certain or uncertain newspaper in apparentâ€" ly preferring a foreign ism to Canadian democâ€" racy. The Globe and Mail and The Telegram persistently pointed out that the communist canâ€" didates had only one hope of election, and that was that ordinary voters might not trouble to turn out to vote,; while the cleverlyâ€"crganized Comâ€" munist party might be able to elect some or all of its candidates by the old scheme of "plumping." It is interesting to note that the vote in Toronto on Monday was a record one and that all conmmunâ€" ist candidates but one were defeated. This looks like a decided victory for the leadership of The Globe and Mail and The Toronto Telegram. 1 a time when it appeared as if the governments considered that the public was the only party enâ€" titled to thought in connection with mining. This attitude was so impossible that the mining inâ€" dustry came in for a little consideration and a little protection. Why not give the prospector a turn now? Neither public nor mines can continue to make money and progress if the prospecter is forced out â€"of business. It will be found that the public, the mines, the prospector and the country at large may all be advantaged by a little special thought for the advantage and the protection of the prospector. The hope of Ontario, of Canada, rests in the development and progress of the minâ€" ing industry. Canadaâ€"can win its way to prosperâ€" ity and security through the opening up of its great mineral resources. The prospector is the; indispensible key to the unlocking of the hidden treasures of the earth. There can be no continu : ed progress for mining with "limited prospectingi and exploration." The governments should centre‘ on the prospectorâ€"fi back, and remove the restrictions and handicaps that are curbing his usefulness. Why not gather i together a good group of prospectors and talk the | matter over? The prospector is not slackenlng his efforts because of any lack of enterprise or courage. Give the prospector a fair chance and | he will ask no favours. It will pay all parties tol see that the prospector is rightly used and his interests guarded. l How would it be to give a little special interest and consideration to the prospector? There was Others beside Mr. Bateman have expressed reâ€" gret at the apparent decline in prospecting activâ€" ity. The matter is of such vital importance that something should be done to revive prospecting. The Advance does not believe that the â€"breed of prospectors hasdied out. It is more likely that conditions have prevented them from carrying on their oldâ€"time activities on a sceale adequate to the demands. G. C. Bateman, secretary of the Ontario Mining Association, says:â€"‘"Unless there is something in the nature of a world catastrophe, 1939 should be a year of further progress. The lessening of inâ€" ternational uncertainty and an improvement in industrial and stock market activities, should libâ€" erate funds for prospecting and exploration. With funds available, new discoveries should follow. All the signs are encouraging and the signal is set for "Go Ahead." The outlook is certainly promiéing not only for the North where mining is the chief industry, but also for all Ontarioâ€"all Canadaâ€"the effect of the mining industry being ‘so important and wideâ€" spread. > There is one discouraging feature, how-] ever, in regard to the situation. This point was also mentioned by Mr. Bateman. "Practically the only disappointing feature of the year," the secâ€" retary of the mining association is quoted as stat ing, "has been‘the limited amount of prospecting | and exploratioh, and the scarcity of important new discoveries, aside from those within the limits{ of the known camps." ! Official estimates show that mineral producâ€" tion in Ontario has been well maintained during the year just closed and that the gold mining inâ€" dustry has made a substantial increase over the previous year‘s output.

The Stephensons won success, but it should not bg forgotten that it was all hard won, well won. And as sometimes hap: pens. there was a bonus in the case of the Stephenâ€" sonsâ€"the bonus of wide friendships and good wili â€"also well won. This is the reason that there is such general regret at the change, though it also means that the new owners will have the best wishes of all the North in the wide circle of friends of The New Liskeard Speaker.

The Stephensons, father and son, did much more than grow along with the com munity. They did their full part in building the community as well as their own business. Nor did their vision cease at the borders of their own town. Instead, it is not too much to say that The Speaker worked for" the whole North, helped the whole North, loved the whole North. It goes without saying that there were troubles to be faced, difficulties to be met, obstacles to be overcome, disappointments and discouragements. Father and son pioneered it all quietly but galâ€" lantly. The story would not be complete without Yet, to many whose hearts have been given to! the pioneering and the development of the North F Land, the new year has not made an auSplcmus' start in one particular. The New Liskeard Speaker’ â€"the oldest newspaper in the North to Lontmue,C under the one ownership throughout the years â€"has been sold to a company. Most people who | [know The New Liskeard Speaker, under the Stephâ€" : ;ensons will accept without reservation their genâ€" erous estimate of the new publishers of Th\,' of Speaker That Mr~ C.‘Bond and his assoc1ate>mo« will carry on The New Liskeard Speaker in ablc'“‘f and publicâ€"spirited fashion will be taken for |a‘;}‘ granted. Yet the transfer marks a changeâ€"the|a breaking of links of friendship and service much‘:“‘ valued by the North. There is the touch of tho:j true type of romance about the history of Thelml New Liskeard Speaker. Mr. E. F. Stephenson, now | tw in his nineties, came to Temiskaming in the early ,(“ nineties of the last century. He had conducted | sid a newspaper in the Muskoka district, but on fubt,Ml arrival in the North was chiefly interested in * agricultural development of the country. In 1905 Tu he was joined by his son, A. E. Stephenson, and| both of them being practical printers, with the'B: double desire to write and to serve their comâ€"| munity, it was no more than what might be exâ€" ';â€" pected when they started a newspaper â€" Thfl,wl Speakerâ€"in February of 1906. In his interesting | to introduction of the new owners of the paper, Mr.:i m« Most of the signs suggest that it is going to be a happy new year for the North. Ib will reâ€" quire interference to make it otherwise.. With a little more encouragement in certain lines from certain quarters, it will be a prosperuos as well as a pleasant new year. With the civic election now out of the way the Toronto newspapers will be able to again give prominence to the war in Spain, the battle in China, the conflicts in Europe, and the troubles in the Liberal camp. Every newspaper in the North last week featâ€" ured the thought of "a Happy New Year to All," and behind the hearty wishâ€"perhaps this may be typical of the Northâ€"there seemed to be a special hope for the North and its people. Seldom have all the newspapers of the North united in a com mon petition at the one time without the plea winning much success. A facetious person might quote the recent case when all the newspapers of the North â€"wished "a Merry Christmas to all," as a sample of the influence of the newspapers in the North even on things that are not munâ€" dane. Certainly everybody in the North had a happy Christmas. Any exceptions would no more than prove the rule. ,nlng for fourth place on the Board for a time, but later returns placed him in sixth place and several thousand votes behind the lowest elected Controtier. The communist on the board of eduâ€" cation this year went down to defeat in the elec tion on Monday. So did several candidates allegâ€" ;ed to be communists though campaigning under other designations for seats as aldermen. Out of the full list of communist candidates only one won a place among the Toronto alderman, and in a deéemocratic city that appears one too many. Another feature of the election day was the arrest of three men and three women who are be. ing charged with attempt to impersonate. One of the women arrested is said to have demanded a ballot in the name of a woman whose name was on the voters‘ list but who has been dead for seyvâ€" eral years. Three men will be brought to court to answer to an infraction of the election act by disâ€" tributing election cards near one of the polling places during the election, the said cards being marked in favour of the communist candidates.

Why should people resent a gentle reminder that the new leader had shown that he loved this country enâ€" ough to be ready to risk his life in its defence? At the last meeting of the town council last year one of the accounts passed was for the purâ€" chase of a dictionary for the use of the town hall.

Tributes have been many in recent years to the dean of Northern newspapermen, E. F. Stephenson, who after a long and busy life, today gives his time and thought chiefly to his books and his flowers. There has been also recognition of the fact that the son, A. E. Stephenson, has worthily maintained the high standards of life and community service.

Goodwill to men!" At Christmas, 1938, however, British soldiers were busy watching and guarding flocks of citizens, while pilgrims to the shrine at Bethlehem went in danger of their lives from Arab snipers who seemed to have little thought of neace or goodwill. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has just published its annual report for the year endâ€" ing March 31st, 1938. Charlie McCarthy ought to see some sort of a cynical joke in that. The London Times points out that No. 10 Downâ€" ing Street, London, England, has been used for more than 200 years as an official residence for British premiers. It was given to Sir Robert Walpole as a present in 1731. The British seem to be lucky in the lack of professedly economical people to sell or give away No. 10 Downing Street. Colonel. Sam Hughes never seemed to lose much in popular favour from‘the use of the title "Colâ€" onel."~ Indeed, it was well known that in his ridâ€" ing of Victoria and Haliburton, there was a tendâ€" ency to divide into two .partiesâ€"those who folâ€" lowed the "Colonel" and those who did not. It is all right to referâ€"to "plain‘"‘ Mitch and Fergy and Honest George Henry as examples of popular preâ€" ference for the untitled, but at the same time the popularity of "Sir John A." "Sir Wilfrid," "General McCrea‘" and scores of others should not be overlooked. The truth is that "Sir Wilfred" without the title, or "Fergy‘"‘ with one would still have caught the popular fancy. It is the man that counts, though sometimes a title helps makes the counting easier. ‘ This is 1939. Are you still writing it 19389 LNESS TO CANADIAN BUSINESS The appointment of Dr. W. F.
