Timmins, Ontario, Monday, July 31st, 1939 Quebec Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group OFPFICE 26 â€"â€"â€"â€" PHONES RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO,. LAKE, Owner and Publisher TIMMINS, ONTARIG Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Bubscription Rates Canadaâ€"$3.00 Per Year, United 8 " W‘m“mm‘““'ofio «it l â€"ap _ * The traditional definition of news:â€"If a dog bites a man that isn‘t news. But if a man bites a dog, that‘s news. Provided it‘s not simply a hot dog. And even then it‘s news if the man is a King. At the time of the visit of the King and Queen to the United States, the irrepressible Charlie McCarthy was asked if he knew what was meant by "a meal fit for a King." "Sure!" he reâ€" plied, "Hot dogs." On the dogâ€"manâ€"bite theory of news the idea ts that anything that is common is not news. It is supposed that dogs bite men much more freâ€" quently than men bite dogs. There is no scientiâ€" fic data to support this view, however. In the same way it is believed that dogs save men from d@rowning more frequently than men save their dogs from watery graves. Again there is no seriâ€" ous list of statistics to prove the case. But if a man does risk his life to save that of his dog, it will be taken for granted that that is news. In any event very wide publicity has been given to a true story published in The Advance several | weeks ago wherein a Timmins gentleman saw his dog fall into the river and in attempting to pull the dog from the water he cverbalanced and fell in himself. After which another gentleman passing by took upon himself the duty of rescu-l ing both dog and master. When the two were | pulled from the river the man was about dead,l but the dog was so lively that it was soon in a fight with another dog, the services of several men, and the dax\ger of dog biting man being incurred before the dogs were separated. A comâ€" bination like this naturally was accepted as news by all ultra modern newspapers that abide by the old manâ€"biteâ€"dog definition of news. By this time the item has travelled from this North to the South, the East, the West. In a recent issue of The Halifax Chronicle space was given to the. incident, while Vancouver newspapers featured it in the West. So, what! Well, those who have. been dissatisfied with the old manâ€"bitesâ€"dog theory of news as inadequate have a more comâ€" plicated formula to consider. It might be exâ€" pressed like this:â€"If a dog falls into a river that isn‘t news. If a man falls into a river, that may not be news. If a dog gets into a fight that isn‘t news. If men separate the dogs in a fight that may not be news. But if a dog falls into the river, and his ‘master falls in, too, trying to save him, and if the two are saved by a third man, and the dog immediately picks a fight with another dog, and other men have a dangerous time stopping the dog fight, instead of standing back and watching it, then that combination is news. The proof is that newspapers from one coast to the other, and from the far South to the farthest North have carried it on the front pages. ! ! 'WWWM Effort is being made at present to secure some assistance for the silver industry, so that the town of Cobaltâ€"the famous "best old town"â€"should not be crushed completely. In the North there is every sympathy for Cobalt, and the hope that the delegation going down to Ottawa to seek help from the Dominion Government will be successâ€" ful,. At the present time Cobalt is one. of the most heavilyâ€"taxed towns in Canada. A number of the pioneers of the camp have stayed with the town through good and ill and more recent citiâ€" zens have shown an equal loyalty. Now, they are faced with complete loss of employment, comâ€" plete ruin. Only one silver mine of any size is carrying on work in the camp, and unless there is something done that mine will have to close down. This will mean the throwing out of a hundred and twenty men from employment, and the inâ€" direct loss of livelihood to hundreds of others in the community. In a word, the trouble is that the present market price of silver does not make it possible to mine the metal at even a small profit. What the delegation to Ottawa proposes is that the Government should guarantee a price of fifty cents per ounce for silver. The Governâ€" ment could do this without a direct loss by using Cobalt silver mine output for coinage purposes. No doubt the first thought of the Dominion Government will be to refuse the request. But the Government should think twice. There is precedent for a virtual bonus on Cobalt silver in the action of the Government in guarantee wheat prices for the West. While the Government by cash contributions, and otherwise has accepted some responsibility in the matter of the unemâ€" ployed, though too little has been done about it, it does seem that special thought should be givâ€" en to those who are in employment, but who are threatened with the loss of livelihood. . The people in general are now firmly convinced that the Government has a decided responsibility in Ohe Yorrupine Aduvancee regard to those out of employmentâ€"the reasonâ€" HELP FOR COBALT DOGS AND NEWS United Statesâ€"$3.50 Per Year able and logical remedy being to provide employâ€" ment. Those who feel this way will consider that it is also the bounden duty of Government to take proper measures to protect those who have employment, so that they may not be added to the deplorable list of those directly dependent on Government support. The case of Cobalt seems to be a direct challenge to Governmental ingenuity. In case the silver mining industry is crushed out of existence, there will undoubtedly ‘be an 2dded burden imposed on relief. Some of the people of the "best old town" will have no other recourse than to look to relief for existence. lWlth conditions as they are toâ€"day, even those who will find employment elsewhere will be pushâ€" ing others on relief. The final result of the closâ€" ing down of .Cobalt would be a costly affair. It would appear to be up to the Government to deâ€" vise ways and means whereby the situation may be met with the least loss. The delegation beâ€" ‘lieves the answer lies in a form of bonus to silver ‘mining, in the guise of a guaranteed price. Perâ€" haps, there is some other way that may appear better, but in any event the Government will be! held strictly to account by the people at large it ‘the alleged regular policy of doing nothing is atâ€" tempted in this particular case. To the people |of the North sentiment overshadows the logic of ‘the case. The same is true of the former citizens of Cobalt now scattered in the four corners of the earth. Cobalt had a lure for all her sons and daughters. Those who lived in Cobalt seem to carry the thought of Cobalt in their hearts \through all the ages. To all her former sons and daughters the idea of Cobalt being just another ghost town is most repugnant. To those who have no sentimental thoughts in regard to Cobalt town, the situation should make special appeal toâ€"day. There is an everâ€"growing feeling that the Government should busy itself at once and on ‘a large scale in the matter of securing new inâ€" | dustries to provide profitable employment in Canâ€" ada. With this idea goes its twin brotherâ€"that it is the straight duty of Government so far as humanly possible to maintain and assist existing industries so as to continue in employment those who are now at work. Cobalt‘s case would be a good place to start an active campaign along the latter line. The Advance has frequently called attention to tlte unique coâ€"operative advertising movement carried on by the life insurance companies opetrâ€" ating in the Dominion of Canada. For eighteen years these companies have combined to present in the columns of the daily, the farm, financial and wWeekly and samiâ€"weekly press of Canada the inner story of life insurance and its place in modern life.. Class A. Weekliesâ€"a selected list of leading weekly and semiâ€"weekly newspapers, of which The Advance has been a member for many yearsâ€"have taken a notable part in the sucâ€" cess of the institutional life insurance advertisâ€" ing. These Class A. newspapers are home newsâ€" papers read by the people of the various comâ€" munities and in the closest touch and friendship with their readers. The idea of the life insurâ€" ance advertising has made such special appeal to these newspapers that they supported it with enthusiastic editorial approval and endorsation. The life insurance advertising referred to has a threeâ€"fold purpose:â€"(1) To emphasize the finâ€" ancial protection that permanent forms of life insurance provide for dependents and old age. (2) To stress the social and economic importance of life insurance to the individual and to the naâ€" tion. (3)To educate the public to the value of permanent, as against temporary forms of life insurance. The advertising has no reference to any life insurance company, but to all life insurâ€" ance companies operating in Canada under govâ€" ernment supervision. This advertising has dealt with life insurance itself, what it is, what it means, what it does, what it signifies in the welâ€" fare of the nation as well as in the security of the individual. There is no doubt but that this adâ€" vertising has given life insurance its present high place in the confidence of the people, because it has effectively presented the facts and truth. The Advance is in receipt of a pOrtfOliO® Of UN@ | _ ... .. ce en ommz advertisements appearing in the public press of I The life insurance companies recently decided Canada from July, 1938, to June, 1939, inclusive.;by unanimous consent to continue this instituâ€" These individual advertisements were published | tional advertising for the nineteenth year.
