Bubscription Raits: Canadaâ€"$3.00 Per Year. United Statesâ€"$3.50 Per Year TIMMINS®, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Assoclation; Ontarioâ€" Qurbec Newspaper Association; Class ‘A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26 PHONES RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO, LAKE, Owncre and Publisher For years past The Advance has been conductâ€" ing a campaign against dust on the roads and streets on the grounds that the blowing dust is an injury to health, to comfort, to property, to lawns to gardens and to good housekeeping. There has been general agreement in regard to the damage to property, to lawns, gardens, furniture, carpets, curtains, and homes generally. The nuisance of dust from the roads has been generally recogâ€" nized. Indeed, it would be impossible in this country not to see it and to feel it, to taste it. Many Timmins and district people, returning from trips to the South, remark on the fact that even the smallest and quietest of Old Ontario towns appears to have done something to do away with the dust menace. In the North the people pride themselves on their enterprise and modern attiâ€" tude, so it is not flattering to feel that what are considered backward QOld Ontario towns are more upâ€"toâ€"date in the matter of curbing the dust menace than is the case in this progressive counâ€" try. The nuisance of the dust has long been apâ€" preciated here, but when The Advance has sugâ€" gested that the dust is really a serious menace to health, there has been a tendency on the part of some to think that perhaps The Advance is "layâ€" ing it on a bit too thick"â€"ailmost as thick as the dust. The fact of the matter, however, is that a noted authority, Dr. C. H. Hair of the Accident Preâ€" Pcople in the South have a pernicious habit of seizing on odd occurrences in the North and then suggesting that this is a wild and woolly and lawâ€" less cbuntry. The Advance‘s‘ answer to this sort thing is that by and large the people of the North are as moral and lawâ€"abiding and as honest and orderly as the folks anywhere else. In fact, the belief is that they are naturally more upright ‘and wellâ€"behaved because they are healthy and cheerful. Here is a concrete case to prove this stand. It is true that following the influx of felâ€" lows from the South, the East and the West, gold has been stolen here, and the odd case of booze perhaps, with underwear taken from a line or two, and a few safes carted off bodily, not to mention the theft of clothing and furniture and jewelry and the looting of railway cars, wholesale houses, stores and so on. Indeed, once or twice a whole house has been taken away without the owner‘"‘‘s permission in this country, which may be conâ€" sidered a crime, as well as a piece of enterprise. But in the North at its very blackest, the sideâ€" walks were safe from the lightâ€"fingered, even if dangerous at times to those unsteady on their legs. The next time any of the Southern folks try to paint the North as the home of lawâ€"breakâ€" ing, the answer will be: "Well, anyway, we‘re not like Grimsby, in the South, where cement sidewalks are stolen bodily and carted away. That couldn‘t happen here! The people here are too honest and lawâ€"abiding! And, anyway, what would be the sense of stealing ninety feet of cement sideâ€" walk?" The despatches say that the crime of stealing the cement sidewalk was accomplished without leaving any clues. The police are working on the case, but haven‘t heart enough left after this unâ€" usual crime to suggest that an arrest is expected hourly. All that seems to be clear is that the ceâ€" ment sidewalk was carried off bodily. Who did it, or why, or where the cement sidewalk was taken, and how,â€"all these are mysteries in Grimsby. Timmins, Ont., Thursday, June 29th, 1939 Che Yorrupine Abuance STEALING CEMENT SIDEW ALKS BAD EFFECT OF DUST ON LUNGS PAE POUR .Mww e t P M t Commenting on Dr. Hair‘s address, The Sudâ€" bury Star says:â€""It would seem patent to even the most casual observer that Dr. Hair‘s contenâ€" tion is correct and that dusty roads must present a severe hazard, because no steps are taken to overcome the damage that may be wrought by breathing in the dust of many country highways. Gas masks built for war needs may yet come into peace use in some sections of Canada. Dr. Hair ‘thinks that the only sure control would be the use \of such masks to filter out dust particles. At any :rate, it is doubtful if the importance of the subject |has so far been fully appreciated." It is to be hoped that the matter will come to be understood and realized in its full importance ‘to health, though the use of gas masks seems a | drastic remedy in this country. It does appear ‘that the dust menace may be minimized without recourse to warâ€"time masks, though such a method |would be preferable to simply suffering the dust | and allowing it to do its dirty work without let or ‘hindrance. Much of the dust on the roads in |town may be disposed of by the generous use of ioil. The town of Timmins has made a good start on this plan this year, though it is regrettable that measures were not undertaken earlier in the iseason. ventive Association, speaking to the delegates of the Ontario Mining Association at Bigwin Inn last week emphasized the truth that people who travel much over dusty roads over a period of time weaken their lungs and thus become easy victims of tuâ€" berculosis. Dr. Hair has spent many years in research work in connection with the health of miners, studying silicosis particularly, and is reâ€", cognized as an authority on the subject. His beâ€"| lief is that farmers in certain parts of Ontario are predisposed to tuberculosis because dust and cerâ€" tain fungi blowing in the air harms their lungs and makes them unable to withstand the attack of the tuberculosis germs. He described the situâ€" ation in the dusty drought areas of Western Canâ€" ada as truly "alarming" from a health standâ€" point. The Advance believes that every facility and encouragement should be given this Czechosloâ€" vakian firm to establish itself in Canada. Of course, there should be all measures taken to guard the interests of the people of Canada, but too Dr. Hair takes a serious view apparently of the ordinary country road. Newspaper reports of the address did not say whether or not he made special reference to roads and streets in the North. If he did not make such reference he might well have done so. As a matter of, fact the roads and streets in this vicinity are built chiefly from waste mine rock. This waste rock has its silica content. Accordingly the dust that blows is more or less silica dust, and so, as Dr. Hair suggested, all the silicosis in the district need not come from work underground. Of course, the dust underground is confined in area and many times more dangerous than the dust on the roads. The way the dust sifts into houses,â€"gets into everything,â€"however, is assuredly a menace to health, and for the sake of the welfare of the community, everything posâ€" sible should be done to minimize the danger from the blowing dust. Many newspapers are urging the Dominion Government to disregard the organized opposition to the proposed establishment of a factory in Canâ€" ada by the Czechoslovakian Bata Shoe Company. It is pointed out that the government can easily guard against low wages or improper working conditions, and that permission for the entry to Canada of 250 engineers, technicians and key men in the shoemaking business, would mean the emâ€" ployment of several thousand of Canadian citizens at fair wages and good living conditions, as well as another source of revenue for farmers in the sale of hides and the demand for other produce for the workers who would secure employment through the establishment of the new industry. The Bata Shoe Company., has land in United States for its needs, but prefers to establish a branch in Canada, because the business it expects to secure for the new factory is largely of export nature, and the factory in Canada would have the advantage of the British preference in regard to customs tariffs and duties.

Grand Total of Waterfowl Shows Some Increase. much attention should not be given to unduly proâ€" tect machinery or other interests of private naâ€" ture. Canada needs all the new industries it can secure under fair conditions. This brings forward again the proposal urged several times recently in these columnsâ€"the establishment in the North of a newâ€"a nonâ€"competitive industryâ€"through the development of the North‘s china clay deposits. It would.certainly pay Canada to bring here a number of the Czechoslovakians expert in potâ€" tery work and allied lines who have been robbed of their industries in Czechoslovakia by the rapaâ€" cious Nazis. The Czechoslovakians had an art, a skill, a talent in the pottery line that won them world place. Why not bring some of these experts to this North, and give them a chance to develop the china clay beds of this country and build here "‘The grand total in waterfowl for all imgions for the 1939 inventory was about 14,500,000, which represents an increase of about 14 percent over1938." The figures are significant,. no matter how grudgingly stated by the survey E»spits the warning that there are signs of a levelling off of the upward curve of the last four years, that single sentence will be seizred upon by many hunters as ammunition for a campaign to bring back ‘hbaitingz and live decoys.

This referred especially to the Pacific flyway and Alaska, which has often been referred to a as a minor nesting areca for ducks.

One other new story is told by the survey; That the best wintering ground for ducks, so far as sanctuary is concorned is Mexico. This is diâ€" rectly the reverse of an impression which has existed for years, namely, that in Mexico the annugal slaughter of ducks cancels the prodigious efforts in the United States and Canada to save them.

HEAD OFFICE: TORONTO â€" BRANCHES THROUGHOUT CANADA A despatch from Kitchener, Ontario, says that a Kitchener police constable is "charged with being under the influence of liquor while attempting to sell tickets for the annual policemen‘s ball." In view of the fact that these days it seems to be esteemed a crime to sell tickets for nearly any worthy cause, the despatch leaves it in doubt as to whether the constable is being prosecuted for being intoxicated off duty, or for selling a chance on something or other. It was a Timmins gentleman who made the oftâ€" quoted statement that he never read the news in the newspapers because it was just the same old thing with the names, places and dates changed. His idea was that news was simply a repeating of crimes, sensations, oddities and occurrences that differed only in minor details. There was an item this week, however, that was strictly out of any routine class. It was the case of Harold Swords, aged 26 years, of Peoria, Illinois, arrested by police on the unusualâ€"the originalâ€"charge that he was driving a car though blind. The neighbours and police were astounded to see Swords operating an old motor car on road running from his home to a nearby brickyard. "I feel my way along," he told the police adding that he liked to run down to the brickyard to chat with the lads working there. The blind man was eventually released on his proâ€" mise not to try to operate the car alone any more. case, then it is another proof that a firm attitude even to the extent of the threat of war is the best policy in dealing with the dictatorial bullies of the day.
