saome years ago The Ottawa Journal took occasâ€" lion to lecture The Advance for what it termed a tendency to intolerance. It is interesting to feâ€" calil that the fault of The Advance then was that it did not take kindly to subversive Red doctrines being preached with a freedom of speech not alâ€" lowed to loyal people. While it was recognized that freedom of speech is an essential to Bfitish Many friends of The Ottawa Journal will be pleased to read in the editorial columns of that good newspaper the sentence that appeared on Monday of this week:â€""We cannot be indifferent to the lesson of unfortunate Finland; we must be less tolerant of Reds and their propaganda." That is just what is needed in the columns of The Journal â€" a littie less tolerance for the vapid theories that undermine a stateâ€"a little less inâ€" tellectual but impractical toleration for the things that can not be fostered with safety With all working together, and working with the other authorities in the land, not only will the interests of the people of the town of Timmins be advanced, but there can be material contriâ€" bution to the wider cause of the battle for freoâ€" dom and the right in the world. As Councillorâ€" elect Karl Eyre emphasized in some of his adâ€" dresses, the present conflict will be decided in some large measure by "golden bullets," and this town as the centre of Canada‘s greatest gold camp can do much to speed the production of the "golden bullets." As Mr. Eyre pointed out careâ€" ful administration of the affairs of the town in itself will be a notable aid in the matter. The same thought appeared in the address of Counâ€" cillorâ€"elect Roberts and others of those who have been elected. The people have elected a "war time council," and with the continued support of the people there is every reason to expect satisâ€" lactory service and progress with due consideraâ€" tion forâ€"economy and for the broader issues of the day. The new mayor and council will take up their duties with the idea of working together for the advantage of the town, both for the sake of the town and as a contribution to the cause of Canâ€" ada and the Empire and the Allies. Their work will be difficult gand arduous, and they should have the full support of all in town, as a matter not only of local patriotism but also for the broader patriotism needed in these troublous times. There may be some who regret the defeat of some particular candidate who appeared to nave special qualifications. That happens in most elections. But the general result seems to assure the town service and satisfaction. The council elected is a representative one, in which it would appear that the interests of all in town will have full attention and consideration. The voting for the elected candidates was quite decisive, there being no close majorities. As many expected, Miss Terry headed the poll, and it is not too much to venture the opinion now that her special knowâ€" ledge of business and her wide acquaintance with public affairs, together with her publicâ€"spiritedâ€" ness will give a service on the council board that will fully justify the confidence shown by the large vote givenâ€"the largest ever given any canâ€" didate for council in the history of Timmins. It is one case where it is appropriate to say that "the people have spoken". for the largest vote in the history of the town was polleéed. Usually the total number of votes polled for mayoralty candiâ€" dates gives a fair indication of the total number voting in the election. This year the total votes for the mayoralty candidates was 7444. Last year the total voting for mayoralty candidates was 5709, or 1735 less than this year‘s total. Mr. Emile Brunette, on his platform of "loyalty, unity, progress," was elected by a majority of 138, and his record in council and his standing as a busiâ€" ness man and citizen give assurance that he will creditably fill the position of mayor. The council elected promises to be a very satisfactory one. Four of the six elected have had valuable experiâ€" ence in service in the council in previous years. Of the other two, both have given good service in public affairs, Miss Terry having been in many organizations serving the public, as well as havâ€" ing unusually valuable business experience, while Mr. Fay was for five years a valued member of the separate school board, three of those years as chairman.

It was a rather lively elecâ€" tion, with, perhaps, a little overstressing of perâ€" sonalties, but all that is best forgotten now. The people have spoken. What remains now is to carry on the business of the town with the greatâ€" est efficiency, harmony and unity.

LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: h WW * stt P BP DP P PP C P AC C P AC Timmins, Ont., Thursday, Dec. 7th, 1939 READY TO CARRY ON BUSINESS <be Dorrupine Advancer United Statesâ€"$3.50 Per Year Every year people are urged to do their shopâ€" ping earlyâ€"early in the day, early in the week, early in the season. This allows better choice in selection, more time to make purchases, and it Don‘t stop to count the days to Christmas. Just shop early. A former chief of police of Timmins once said about another resident here:â€""If he were chargâ€" ed with rape, he would plead selfâ€"defence." The remark is recalled by Soviet Russia‘s claim that the present attack on Finland is because the Finns attacked poor Russia." Finland is making noble resistance to the sup posed might of Soviet Russia. ‘"Thrice is he arm ed that hath his quarrel just." Russia‘s attack upon Finland has stirred world feeling even more than the Nazi assault upon Poland. It is easy now to see for what high stakes the Allies are battling. Whether Russia and Gerâ€" many are working together or not under secret agreement, it is surely plain now that the whole freedom of the world is threatened. Indeed, the menace is to life itself. The threat of the Ontario government to impose a ban on municipal elections during the war lhas resulted, perhaps, in more than usual interest in municipal elections at present. That in itself is a good thing, but the same purpose might surely have been achieved by less dictatorial means. The public is always open in times of stress to good advice. At any time, however, there should be objection to any plan to take away selfâ€"governâ€" ment from the people. What would be Premier Hepburn‘s reaction if the Dominion government threatened to pass a war measure making proâ€" vincial governments illegal? Or if the British government suggested that it would forbid Dominâ€" ion elections for the duration of the war? T wo items recently published in the daily newsâ€" papers seem to need to be related, or something. The one boasts of the fact that all knowledge of the war, or even the fact that there is a war, has been carefully kept fram the Dionne quintuplels. The other item takes pride in the fact that the Dionne quintuplets have contributed $1,000 to the Canadian Red Cross. Perhaps, the famous five girls at Callendar have been given to understand that the $1,000 is for the peacetime work of the Red Cross. If the Quintuplets, who do not even know that there is a war in progress, can give $1,000 to the Red Cross, how much more should those who know a war is in progress, know the kind of a war it is, and know the need for the noble work of the Red Cross in wartime, give to the cause that needs assistance? The best election story must be credited to Councillorâ€"elect Bill Roberts. "I feel proud and honoured," he said election night, "to have the distinction of heading the poll for council with 2752 votes." "But what about Miss Terry who received 3569 votes?" he was asked. "Oh, Miss Terry went in by acclamation," he responded. The Ottawa Journal is right now Canada must be "less tolerant of Communism"â€"indeed of every ism that threatens British democracy and Christianity. There will be nothing tolerant in upholding freedam of speech for a few to lose the wider freedom of right to worship unmolested, the right to freedom of action, the very right to life itself. "Stalin and his gang of cutâ€"throats have shown us Communism in perfect flower," is one quotaâ€" tion from The Ottawa Journal‘s editorial. There was no need to wait for the brutal attack on Finâ€" land to see Joe Stalin‘s perfect flower of Comâ€" munism. It was shown before that when Poland was stabbed in the back, when Esthonia, Latvia, were plundered. Still further it was shown in Russia itseif years ago when wholesale murder ran riot for years. It was shown in the purges that reached the public ear of the world, and in those sadder tragedies ‘that were lost in the genâ€" eral rage of brutal dictatorial oppression. It was shown in Russia using ‘money sadly needed at home to finance agitation and sedition in friendly countries. That flower was seen in Timmins, Sudbury, Rouyn, and other places north and south in Ontario and elsewhere. 5... 296. cltts .. dn B4 c 2O c wl tss dsA ts 22e 0s ns itc 4s B . t s, . hsP t cal t ces B y sÂ¥ :2 00090 l en P ie c t n es ie t :20 on EGRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER liberty, it was also realized that freedom of speech carried with it responsibilitiees that can not be escaped, and that vicious license in exâ€" pression automatically cancels the right to freeâ€" dom of speech. As a matter of fact freedom of speech is hedged around by so many restrictions that it is circumscribed at the best of times. It is difficult, indeed, to set theoretical limits on speech and expression. At the time of the arguâ€" ‘nent with The Journal, The Advance suggested that while there could be all sorts of liberty of criticism and complaint, there should be no tolerâ€" ation for any ism that planned force or the threat of force to accomplish its aims. It seemed absurdâ€"and still appears absurdâ€"to allow orâ€" ganization openly for the eventual overthrow of all freedom, let alone the freedom of speech. It seemed more tolerant that all the people should be free, than that a handful of aliens should have license of speech.

Radiator grilles, hoods, bumpers, fenders, running boards and headlamps reflect a new and added lustre. The ultraâ€"mcodern alligator jaw hood, when raised, offers much freer acecess to the engine compartment than conventional hoods. A new development designed to further increase driving safety is the new hizh quality safety glass throughâ€" out, together with the sensational new Sealed Beam headlights which give much greater illumination, especially in the "bright" position. On the other hand, when lights are switched to "dim" the illumination is thrown to the right, out of the approaching drivâ€" er‘s eyes, for maximum safety in passâ€" ing To meet a wide variety of weather conditions, defrosters and dashâ€"mountâ€" ed water heaters are available as acâ€" cessories along with a new underâ€"seat heater which, from its central position distributes warm air evenly througzhout front and rear compartments. An inâ€" spection of the new models also reveals new cloth and mohair upholstery and interior trim; newly designed bumpers; illuminated rear name plate; front seat adjustments and a new rubber body mounting to soften all road noises; and improved steering column gear shift. Directly in front of the driver are control knobs of matching plastic, while the steering wheel, steering column, emergency brake lever, gear shift lever and horn button are finished in matchâ€" ing sandalwood. The two ashâ€"trays are standard.

Windshields are 1‘% inches wider and 1â€"inch deeper, giving 11 per cent increase in @glass area which adds to visibility and safety. Symmetrically mounted against the handsome new Pontiac dash of rich continental walnut, are the instrument group at the left and the electric clock (an accesory) at the right. An integral part of the car is the chromeâ€"trimmed radio speaker grille located in the cenâ€" tre of the instrument panel. The DelLuxe Six features the two and fourâ€"door touring sedans, business and sport coupes and cabriolet. A similar choice is presented in the DeLuxe Eight, while the new Torpedo Eight offers the fourâ€"door touring sedan and the sport coupe. New and sparkling streamlined beauâ€" ty, more room and comfort, greater ease in handling and still greater efficiency in performance are among the wide range of outstanding features of the new Pontiac cars which make their 1940 debut with five series and twentyâ€" seven smart new models, now on disâ€" play at dealer showrooms across Canada. Announcement of these new cars by General Motors Products of Canada at Oshawa directs attention to the choice of models in the respective series. The Pontiac Arrow offers a twoâ€"passenger business coupe, a fourâ€"passenger coupe, a sport sedan with trunk and a twoâ€" door town sedan, while the Arrow Deâ€" Luxe features a similar choice.
