Leadership such as President Rooseâ€" velt is giving his people underlines so clearly the principles for which the democracies are struggling that there can be no doubt in the minds of thoughtful citizens of the common interests involved. We are in the same boat even though the ideas of navigaâ€" tion may differ, and we are aiming for the same port. ‘The United States, no more than Canada, Britain or France, could enjoy the benefits of freedom under these conditions. nations which sets up that control through military force." "We must 100k ahead," he said, "and see the possibilâ€" ities for our children if the rest of the world comes to be dominated by conâ€" centrated force alone. . .the effect on our own future if all the small nations throughout the world have their inâ€" dependence snatched from them or beâ€" come mere appendages to relatively vast and powerful military systems. . see the kind of lives our children would have to lead if a large part of the rest of the world were compelled to worship a god imposed by a military ruler, or were forbidden to worship God at all; if the rest of the world were forbidden to read and hear the factsâ€"the daily news of their own and other nationsâ€"if they were deprived of the truth that makes them free." The policy of realism is based on the sound conception that isolation from world affairs is no longer tenable. The first President did not warn against "entangling alliances," without modifiâ€" cation. To the present President trade is essential to peace, but not trade conâ€" trolled by any nation or group of Roosevelt Faces Reality President Roosevelt‘s message to Congress will be viewed with intense satisfaction by the Canadian people as confirmation of the Washington Adâ€" ministration‘s policy of realism. Mr. Roosevelt has earned enduring gratiâ€" tude by his peace efforts. Since peace proved imposible he has taken the wise alternative of preparing for possible eventualities, asking, in addition to the heavy expenditures of 1939, a recordâ€"breaking defense fund of $1,839,â€" 000,000 for 1940. While this is less than oneâ€"sixth of Great Britain‘s proposed expenditure, it is an indication of the responsibility a neutral nation 3,000 miles from the sceene of conflict conâ€" siders it necessary to assume. Like Briâ€" tain‘s program, it is a challenge to our own country.

One of the claims was originally staked by Father Paradis and the creek that runs through part of the property is named Paradis Creek. Father Paradis put down a shaft on his claim and it is said that there are good showings of free gold in that shaft. The present comâ€" pany, however, has not dewatered this old shaft, but work has been largely confined to diamond drill work and other exploratory effort. Last week the directors of the Dictore Porcupine Gold Mines paid a visit to the property and the camp. Among the highlights of the visit was the signing of a contract for another 8,000 feet of diamond drilling on the property. Reâ€" cently some 1,500 feet of diamond drillâ€" ing was completed with encouraging results and it is believed that the addiâ€" tional 8,000 feet will allow a good picâ€" ture to be made of the probabilities of the property. The property is very favourably located from the geological viewpoint and the formation impresses all who have a knowledge of geplogy and who have inspected the property. The world‘s peace depends upon the friendly collaboration of the Englishâ€" speaking peoples. As the traditions of the British Emâ€" pire and the United States have the same root, both believe in the good neighborliness of President Roosevelt‘s message and hope for the security enâ€" visaged by the British Ambassador, not only for themselves, but for small naâ€" tions everywhere. Dictore Porcunine Signs New Drilling Contract There is a kernel for postwar thought in this. The British Empire and the United States want peace. Doubtless they will work together after the war for a peaceful settlement, but we canâ€" not abide under the illusion that peace will be ensured by signing a scrap of paper. Britain cannot play the dominâ€" ant sea role of the past century alone, but Britain and the States together can, the one controlling the Atlantic and the other the Pacific. This is the Marquess of Lothian‘s proposal. It will not be adequate without a police force on land, but would go far toward preâ€" venting a world war, and assuredly would render the Western Hemisphere free from undue alarm. One or two things in this enlightenâ€" ing speech may be selected for special reference. The Ambassador recalled that the policy of protecting the Westâ€" ern â€" Hemisphere against political European penetration originated with Lord Canning, who proposed to Presiâ€" dent Monroe a joint Angloâ€"American doctrine. In this form it was rejected; so we hear today only of the Monroe Doctrine, although Britain did her part by controlling the entrance from Europe to the Atlantic, through the North Sea and the English Channel, past Gibraltar, and around the Cape of Good Hope. It is not fully appreciated even in Canada that the British Navy through the years has stood guard over this continent. The British Ambassador talked frankly about the war and its causes, and especially of British aims. By stateâ€" ments of facts his address, designedly or not, combated much of the antiâ€" British propaganda heard through the Middle West, showing at the same time how British and United States ideals run parallel.

He was with a gang of men engaged in cutting trees. One tree was cut through and fell resting on another. When this second tree was cut, the two trees fell on a third and before the third tree was completely cut, it too fell, the tnree tree each going separate ways. Therrien was struck by one of the falling trees, death resulting from the injuries reâ€" ceived. Therrien was Oonly about 19 or 20 years of age. His home was in Queâ€" bec. A coroner‘s jury considered the evidence in the case, and a verdict of accidental death was returned. It was stated at the time that while due care. had been exercised by all concerned,. including the young man himself, the: peculiar way in which the three trees feli caused the tragedy. At the police court here twenty years ago there were several cases of men |charged with the illicit making of | booze. It developed at the trials that | the homebrew liquor was none too good ‘and so the offence of selling such stuff fappeared to be a double one. Magisâ€" Atkinson pointed out that there were altogether too many breaches of the Ontario Temperance Act and that hereafter he intended to impose jail terms on those who sold illicit liquor. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARJIO ‘The Advance twenty years ago gave considerable space to publicity for the evening vocational classes to be opened Jan. 5th in the public school for the betterment of the education and imâ€" provement of the chances of any in town who cared to take advantage of these helpful classes. In Tisdale township twenty years ago there was a lively municipal election battle. There were six nominated for reeve of Tisdale, these being:â€"J. E. Cook, C. V. Gallagher, J. B. Hutchison, J. E. Boyle, C. B. Morgan, and B. M. Walton. Only the first three decided to stand. There were fifteen nominated for councillors, the firss ten of the following list deciding to stand:â€"P. Heorne, Jas. Alexander, D. R. Lloyd, Chas. Goodheart, Jas, Monogan, J. S. Muskett, E. Kimberley, Fred LaForest, R. Caverley, Jules St. Paul, S. Kennedy, B. M,. Walton, C. B. Morgan, ‘l. A. Strain, John Murtagh. Only two of the 1919 council stood for election for 1920, J. B. Hutchison contesting the reeveship and J. S. Muskett standing for the ccouncil. Twenty years ago Iroquolis Falls elected its municipal officers by acclaâ€" mation. The mayor for 1920, 8. G. Mcâ€" Coubrey, had been reâ€"elected each year since the organization of the town: The councillors were Thos. Mills, W. H. Potter, W. J. Tierney, Geo. Wilson, H. J. Chapman and James Charron. Messrs.

The dances were all given military terms, the effects thus being most amusing as the terms had been very cleverly selected. Paymaster Makes Another High Production Record One of the largest crowds ever at a darce in the Porcupine camp up to that time, turned out for the G.W.V.A. dance in the theatre basement on Christmas night, 1919. The attendance was estimated at about 400. All present had a delightful time, despite the fact that everything was naturally very crowded. The dance was one of the series planned by the G.W.V.A. to be held every two weeks during the winter, The Empire theatre orchestra supplied the music for the occasion. The dance programmes, bearing the crest of King Christmas, were in the form of a pass, Another sad death that had to be chronicled in the same issue of The Advance twenty years ago was that of the bright little fiveâ€"yearâ€"old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Robitaille, Fourth avenue. This youngster, Valida, was ill only a week. At first it was thought the child was suffering only from the then prevalent mumps, but later the doctor found that the child was a vicâ€" tim of influenza. The body was taken to Cobalt for interment. ‘Mary Evelyn Donaldson, sister of Mrs.! ‘Evans. Miss Donaldson was well. known | ‘in Timmins having visited here on' several occasions and also being for some time on the Timmins freight| office staff. The news of the death was received here with sincere regret and | sorrow, and much sympathy is extendâ€" ed to the bereaved family and near friends in their loss, Miss Molly Donâ€" aldson was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Donaldson, of Glen Almon, Que., and at the time of death she was in her twentyâ€"fifth year. Her death is the first break in the family circle, there being eleven other children in the family. Miss Donaldson had been in poor health for some time. A few months ago she went to Rochester, Minâ€" esota, for medical treatment, and later| consulted specialists in Philadelphia. A few days before her death she underâ€" went an operation at Philadelphia, but despite the skill and attention given her she apssed away on Christmas Day. The remains were brought to Ccobalt on Monday of this week and the funeral took place from the resiâ€" dence of her brother, W. J. Donaldson, on Tuesday afternoon. Service was held â€" in the Presbyterian church and interâ€" ; ment was made at Haileybury. The . large attendance at the funeral and : the number of beautiful floral tributes . were evidences of the popularity and esteem in which the late Miss Donaldâ€" son was held and the sincere sympathy felt for those bergaved by her death." | The Canadian Legion War Services‘ national appeal for $500,000 with which ‘ to carry on in Canada and overseas its welfare work for the Canadian forces will be inaugurated on February 12. ‘All money received will be used exâ€" clusively for the wellâ€"being of the new forces and any revenue on hand at the close of the war will be placed in a fund A generous response is anticipated from the general public inasmuch as The Canadian Legion War Services is operating on a nonâ€"profit making basis and is not, in any sense, a commercial undertaking. The work it is doing for the young soldiers is being performed voluntarily by veterans of the last conâ€" flict who know better than anyone else the hardships and sufferings which our young men soon will be facing. The appeal, which is being made unâ€" der authority of the War Charities Act, will be the first to be made in the history of the Legion and will be supâ€" ported by the 1,400 branches throughout the Dominion. Brigadierâ€"General Alex Ross, KXC., CMG., VD., ADXC.,.of Yorkâ€" ton, Sask., acting Dominion chairman of the Legion, is honorary national director of the campaign and is exâ€" pected to make a coastâ€"toâ€"coast tour at an early date for organization purâ€" poses. He will speak in many cities. The campaign manager is Lieut.â€"Col. E. A. Olver, DS.0O0., of Toronto. This means that all men under arms whether on defence duty at home or on active service overseas, are entitled to receive the same benefits of the Legion as do veterans of the last war. This, of course, is in addition to the services beâ€" ing rendered by the C.LW.S., and emâ€" braces assistance in all problems arising from war duty. Mr. J. R. Bowler, MBE., who is general secretary of the Canadian Legion and who has undertaken to act as honorary secretary of the CL wW.S., has announced that all members of Canada‘s naval, land and air forces have been made associate members of the Canadian Legion itself. Membership cards are now being issued. It isn‘t much fun stumbling about in the dark, especially when there is really no place to go, so it is quite likely that comradely associations will be available, where hospitable surroundings and the club houses of the British Legion, will be used extensively by the young fighters from this country. In peace time the great cites of the United Kingdom offered many attracâ€" tions and the theatres, music halls, cafes and night clubs held sway with traditional gaiety. The danger of enemy aircraft, however, has caused the imâ€" position of unheardâ€"of restrictions and A.R.P. authorities consider it a serious offence if bright lights burn after twiâ€" light. The nightly blackouts, therefore, have caused many of these entertainâ€" ment centres virtually to go out of business for the duration. Its first gesture of coâ€"operation was to grant to Canada‘s fighting men full use of its club houses. This privilege will mean that our men, whether on leave or at training centres in England, Scotland and Wales, will be able to mingle with their older British comâ€" rades of the first Great War and to enâ€" joy the comfort of well equipped reading and recreation rooms. The British Legion, which has branâ€" ches in practically every community in the United Kingdom, is utilizing its vast organization for the benefit of the B.E.F. and for this purpose has set up special wartime establishments. The Canadian forces are now invited also to make use of these facilities. This information is conveyed in a cablegram received by Lieut.â€"Col. Ralph H. Webb, Ottawa, general manager of the wartime organization, from Lieut.â€" Col. C. F. Ritchie, of Montreal, who is presently in England arranging for the overseas establishment of the CLWS.
