Canadaâ€"$3.00 Per Year we®" TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association; Ciass "A" Weekly Group TWO PHONESâ€"26 and 2020 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEQO. LAKE, Owner and Publisher Hubscription Rates: A local man who some years ago was enthusiâ€" astic for the development of the lignite deposits north of Cochrane suggested now that the plans might well be deferred until after the war. As The Advance has pointed out on more than one previous occasion some people are too much inâ€" clined to be governed by slogansâ€"slogans that are all right in themselves but that constantly need to be reviewed to see that they have any bearing on the matter in question. The local gentleman referred to is apparently rather blindly following the slogan, "Nothing but the war matâ€" ters!" or that other slogan, "Everything should be dropped but the war." A little consideration will show that the lignite development might be made a vital assistance to the cause of winning the war. Anything that will develop Canada‘s resourcesâ€" anything that will help Canada to meet her own needsâ€"anything that will add to Canada‘s deâ€" veloped wealth and keep money at homeâ€"may be set down as genuine aids to the cause of winning the war. In all these ways the lignite developâ€" ment would assist. By creating new wealth, proâ€" viding new employment, serving the needs of the people without interfering with any other Canaâ€" dian industry, the lignite development would be an excellent activity for the present time. It is encouraging to note that Premier Hepburn and his Cabinet appear enthusiastic in regard to im â€" mediate development of the lignite fields, Presâ€" ent indications suggest that the plans are for a very early development of the lignite deposits and that the field will be in active production within Timmins, Ontario, Monday, April 8th, 1940 The Advance believes that the development of the lignite fields north of Cochrane will be very helpful in itself. There is reason to believe, howâ€" ever, that its indirect value will be even more imâ€" portant, There is little likelihood that the deâ€" velopment of the lignite fields in any successful way wlil be the end of the matter. Instead, should a prosperous industry in lignite be estabâ€" lished in the far north that will be the beginning of the development of the country north of Cochâ€" rane. In that area there are deposits of china clay, fire clay and other useful minerals, and the opening of the country in the way of development of one industry is almost certain to be followed by renewed interest in other possible industries. The development of the lignite fields is well worth while for its own sake. It is still more valuable for its probable inspiration to the develooment of other industries and the cashingâ€"in of other resources in the same area. In recent weeks The Advance has received a number of letters, circulars, booklets, and whatâ€" not, all suggesting the desirability â€" even the necessityâ€"of encouraging tourist trade to come to Canada. Although many of those concerned in this form of propaganda are openly interested in the way of personal profit, there is no doubt but that the case they present is worthy of closest attention and enthusiastic support from the patriotic standpoint. It is pointed out that every additional dollar secured from tourist trade will have its good effect on the exchange situation between Canada and the United States. Unâ€" doubtedly an enlarged tourist trade from the United States will make it easier for Canada to #nance the war. It is well also to remember that tourist attractions that keep Canadians in the Dominion, instead of seeking out Southern places for the annual holiday, are equally valuable to this country. Instead of what he did say, Hon. Mr. Conant might have done a service to Canada if he had emphasized the fact that an important part in the war could be taken by every Canadian doing all he could to persuade other Canadians to PACIE FPOUR Oe Yorcuptue Advanee LIGNITE DEVELOPMENT A TOURISTS‘ PARADISE use Canada‘s tourist places and to induce as many United States citizens as possible to enjoy the paradises that this country offers to the tourists. The Dominion Government, in connection with the National Railways, has done much to popularâ€" ize certain Canadian tourist places. The Ontario Government, in connection with the governmentâ€" owned Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railâ€" way might well do something in a big way to at~ tract tourists to the many ideal holiday places for tourists in this part of Ontario. Something has been done in this line in the past in regard to Temagami, but there is reason to believe that considerably more might be done with eventual profit to Canadaâ€"and to the pleasure of the tourâ€" ists. There are many other ideal spots that might be developed. Haileybury, for example, has unusual possibilities on account of its situation. There are many other places that only need at~ tention and interest to come into their own as noliday homes for tourists. Chief among them all The Advance would place the Moosonee counâ€" try. It may take time and patience to develop that country as a tourists‘ resort, but the possiâ€" bilities are there. There is beauty, romance, hisâ€" toric interest in that country. All the charms of nature are there. But some one says:â€""It is so far away!" As a matter of fact that is but an additional charm, as was pointed out by Mr. Geo. W. Lee, when he was chairman of the T:‘ N. O. Railway and the line was extended to James Bay. Mr. Lee referred to the much greater distance that was travelled by people to reach Florida, California, Bermuda and other places. "Disâ€" tance," said Mr. Lee, "but lends enchantment to the view." Many people these days speak about the odd things said and done by members of the Ontario Government. "What is the matter with them, anyway?" has been heard more than once. The Advance would venture an answer to that quesâ€" tion. It is to the effect that they are irritable and harassed and perplexed, because they are really anxious to do something special to help in the great cause of winning the watr, while nearly every effort they have made in this line has met with rebuff or unnecessary obstacle. It is regretâ€" table, indeed, that when Premier Hepburn in broad patriotic spirit dropped all personal anl~ mosities and offered in generous fashion to do anything and everything that he could to help the great cause, his proferred services should have been received with so little apparent enâ€" thusiasm. However, Premier Hepburn and his Merry Men can take a very effective and vital part in the winning of the war, despite the monopolisâ€" tic attitude of the Mackenzie King Government. They can prove that so far as Canada is concernâ€" ed it is not altogether a Liberal party war, or raâ€" ther a King Liberal party war. One way in which the Hepburn Government may do this is by tackl!â€" ing the tourist question in ‘a big way.. The five little ones at Callander do not comprise all the tourist attractions of Ontario. There are many other attractions that may be developed, among these being the Moosonee area. . i Hon. Gordon Conant, Attorneyâ€"General for Ontario, has come in for harsh comment for words spoken last week in a public agadaress at Canningâ€" ton. United States newspapers and public men have been especially severe on the Attorneyâ€"Genâ€" eral because he suggested that the most patriotic service Canadians could give at the present time would be to induce the United States to enter the war on the side of the Allies. Canadian newsâ€" papers have been almost equally harsh in their criticism of Hon. Mr. Conant. It must be adamitâ€" ted that his words were unwise and undesirable from many standpoints, yet it is well to realize! that they expressed the opinion held by at least a few Canadians. There are too many in this: country who are tempted to lean on the empty reed of United States support, while at the same time taking a pessimistic view of the strength of the Allies, It is inspiring surely to turn from these thoughts and to note the coolness, the courâ€" age, the confidence of Britain and France. _ In recent aays the leaders in both France and Briâ€" tain have given sincere expression to their beliefs, and there is no note of fear or question, but comâ€" plete confidence in the final triumph. Indeed, to read some of the addresses recently given by leaders in the public life of France and Britain, there is full conception of the serious situation, the danger from the attitude of some neutrals, yet it would appear that these leaders are not afraid to face even the addition of neutrals turnâ€" ed to open enemies, and still be without fear of the final victory. In other words, Britain and France appear to be ready, if need be, to face a whole world of foes, and still not fear defeat. This confidence is not an idle one. The leaders of the Allies know the situation in its entirety, they know their own present strength; they know their own resources; they know their own capaâ€" bilities; they are ready for any eventuality. Once more, supported by a righteous Cause, Britain and France are without fear of consequences. It is the attitude of victory. There is no doubt that the neutrals, even for their own sakes, should line up with those who seek to save the world from gangsterism. Without question such an alignâ€" ment of the nations would hasten the end of the war. â€" But Britain and France are prepared to carry the battle alone, if need be, and what is more important, they are prepared and able to do so.

There is a general belief that a new phase of war is about to open. The Allies are ready for it, and confident of victory. If there should be any méasure of reverse about it, then all can rest assured that it will not be the last battle of the war. That last battleâ€"that decisive battleâ€" will be won by the Allies.

The Advance never tires of telling the outside world that Timmins is no ordinary town, but that it has unusual advantages and qualities well worthy of note. Just as another example, it may be noted that Timmins is one of the very few towns in Ontario where the tax rate this year has been reduced. Not content with the other worries of the day, one local man is worrying as to whether this is the end of last winter, the beginning of next sumâ€" mer, or just plain spring. France is justly famous for its logic. France waited until leap year to put a tax on bachelors.
