They would also be in a position to levy taxes on telephone poles throughout the town.

It is claimed that by abolishing the commission they can then enact legisâ€" lation that would bring all the town employees which are now separated in two different buildings under the one roof, and by rearranging the staffs bring about a great reduction in a cleriâ€" cal expenditure. .

Cochrane to Vote on Byâ€"law to Drop Utilities Commission Cochrane, April 27â€"On July 18 the tax payers will go to the polls to vote on a byâ€"law which received its second reading at council last night to abolish the public utilities commission. The commission is composed of three duly elected representatives of the people to maliage the affairs of their own water, lights and telephone. the commission. The byâ€"law was brought to the table and after its secâ€" ond reading, Councillor R. M. Smith voiced his opinion that the question should go to the people as a plebiscite first than be handled as a byâ€"law. Councillor Lanning stated he had had lezal advice, and that all that was necessary was to give the byâ€"law its first and second reading, publish it in official gazettes and in two months and a half it would then be ready to go to the pecple. His Worship put the byâ€"law to a vote and it was carried with only Mr. Smith voicing his disâ€" approval and asking that he go on record as opposed to the procedure. Councilicr John Lanning made a motion at the last council meeting that he would introduce a byâ€"law to abolish the commission.

They were to control and spy speaker was introduced by Stan Blake on the people, Then came the Black: and thanked by Dr. Lée Honey. The oldest friends of Hitler were astonished to hear people Hitler a genius. The earmark of a genius was his constructive power; Hitler‘s tendenâ€" cies were purely destructive; Secondly, said the speaker, he was a Protestant. The majority of Austrians were Catholics. According to Hitler‘s racial ideas he was, said Dr. Maresch, an Aryan. Neither he nor Hitler had the slightest idea what an Aryan was. Whether or not a person was an Aryan depended on how good a friend he was Oof the Nazi regime. "I am a convinced monarchist," said the speaker, explaining his third conâ€" viction. The pecple of central Europe never have had freedom and wouldn‘t know what to do with it if they were free. The best way to train them in the principles of democracy was to have them under a liberal monarchy. He was, however, a subtle psycholoâ€" gist. He realized two great weaknesses of the German people and took advanâ€" tage of them. The first was that the Germans blindly believed in a leader. Hitler, knowing that, knew that he must be a leader. Once he was the people would follow him. "I tell you I was in Bolshevik Russia at the time of the revolution and I saw people kifledâ€"but never so many as in Germany and Austria. The Russians at least kill outright," Mr. Maresch said. "Whatever you read or hear it is underâ€" statement. Things are far worse than you could ever believe." ‘"‘Why is there not a revolution?" The answer to that, the speaker said, lay in Hitler‘s complex system of spies and informers, Many pecple lived in tenement houses in Europe. The janitor of each tenement, for example, was a member of the Nazi party. He took the name and address of each visitor to the tbuilding. If a person had more visitors than seemed normal he was suspected and his name reported to the Gestapo or secret police. Soon there would be a tap on his shoulder. All the mail was opened at the post office, every telephuione was tapped. Inâ€" asmuch as‘the technique of revolution required organization of numbers cof people, Hitler‘s information system preâ€" vented it so far. The German chancellor claimed that he had united the whole of Germany, said Dr. Maresch. He claimed that the pecple were welded into one unit workâ€" ing in harmony one with another and following him with love. How is it possible that Hitler has been able to run the German people? The Prussians believe that they were the best people in the world. Hitler turned mentally a Prussian. He showed it when paying he highest compliment he could to Mussolini, he said: "Musâ€" solini is a real Prussian." A mixture of Germanic peoples and Slavs, the Prussian gained his territory by force and believed the spirit of conquest to be good and to ‘be tight. (Contnued from Page One) manic people but a member of a people who, for six centuries have been apâ€" posed to Prussianism and its domineerâ€" ing ruthlessness. A different type of peoplie, the Austrians could never live under Prussians. They were at the present time, but all was not yet over. In 1866 Prussia defeated Austroâ€" Hungary; in 1870â€"il she defeated France. When the Prussians lost the war ‘between 1914 and 1918 they were stunned. They were incredulous and couldn‘t realize they were beaten. Someâ€" thing must be ‘wrong, they told themâ€" selves. (Germans See War as Possible Release From A. Hitler â€" While they were stunned, debased and numiliated, Hitler entered the picâ€" ture. He told them that they had not been tbeaten fairly; that they had been betrayed and cheated by their leaders. If they followed him, he said, he would lead them to a pesition of world eminâ€" ence, without a war. They fell for him and he got the leadership. Still, said Dr. Maresch, even then Hitler would not have got the leadership had it not been for the army. Only forty per cent of the people were for him and von Papen and Schleiger inâ€" duced the army to favour him, thinking that when he did get power they would use him as a puppet. "Refugees came to Austria and we Austrians couldn‘t believe the tales of horror. We couldn‘t believe until we saw when Hitler got Austria against the will of seventyâ€"five per cent of the peoâ€" ple. After the Anchluss we saw and then we couldn‘t speak,. We were gagged as the Germans had been gagzged," said the Doctor. He declared that there were more than 200,000 persons in conâ€" centration camps in Austria at the present time. It did not work out that way however. As soon as Hitler was leader he began the brutal reign of terror and made himself the only authority in Germany. * Statements of further expenditures will be issued monthly hereafter. ' Archdeacon J. E. Woodall made the invocation and proposed the first toast of the evening to "the Empire and our men in service," Austin Neame replied. Schumacher, April 28â€"â€"At the April mesting of the Executive Committee of the Schumacher Branch of the Canaâ€" dian Red Cross Society, decision was made to publish the following summary of expenditures by the branch to March 31st, 1940;:â€" f Supplies abtained locally ............$1,056.74 Supplies from Canadian Red Cross Headquarters .............. Donation to Finnish Red Cross TS | ty i 2e Donaticn to Canadian Red Cross General Fund .............. Shirts to spy on the people and the Brown Shirts. Then came the Gestapo to spy on the people, the Brown Shirts and the Black Shirts; Now there is a new group known as the Criminal Police of the Party to spy on the Gesâ€" tapo, the Black Shirts, the +~Brown Shirts and the people. Hitler claimed he madse the people cf Germany strong and healthy. Yet, since 1933, German people were rationed and forced to accept ersatz products. They couldn‘t get‘milk or butter in quantities. When the Germans came into Austria they gobbled everything in sight. In three months all the luxâ€" uries in the country were gone. Music was provided throughout the dinner by the Tisdale High Schools orchestra under the direction of Mr. Roy, and this was a much appreciated feature of the evening. In conclusion the speaker counselled against hatred of Germany. Hitler he described as an incarnation of hatred. Take to the German people freedom and teach them what it meant but don‘t hate them, he urged. Chairman of the meeting was Mr Walter Honer. Introduced were Frank McDowell, Timmins Kiwanis President and Bill Wylie, Schumacher Lions Presâ€" ident. Toronto, April 27â€"F. H. Bartow, KX ., master of the Supreme Court, ordered an ameondment to the statement of claim in a damage action by Northern Ontario Power Company against Lake Shore Mines Limited. On application of the defendant, he ordered the striking out of a paragraph which compares the basis upon which the Ontario Hydroâ€"Electric Pcower Commission operates with the cperaâ€" tion of the privately owned Northern Company. Northern is suing for unestimated damages on the grounds Lake Shore switched its power business to Ontario Hydro. If a member from each of these groups happened to meet at a corner they would turn away., They all hate and fear each other. That was Hitlerâ€" ian harmony and love. Rurthermore, Hitler had killed or exiled all the Jewish physicians in the nation. As the result there was a shortâ€" age of doctors. So, the medical course was cut down to three years, of which one year was spent in military duty. Then, if a man was a party member and good at physical perks, (an examâ€" iner would not dare fail a party man), he was released on the hapless public. It showed particularly in the children. According to official statistics 90 per cent of children today were unable to do the work of preâ€"war children. Hitler claimed that he made the German people prosperous. It was true that there was work. No German dare be cut ¢of a JjJob. However, they were paid starvation wages. Furthermore, a man had to take the work allotted to him. If he refused three times he starved as there was no dole. ; Hitler did not let the people know that reparations ‘were abolished. He did not let them know that Germany borrowed more than the total amotlunt of reparations but blamed all her ills on ‘"international sharks" and the need for "living space." Finally Hitler got the people to the point where the only way they could see to get "living space" was to war for it. Summary of Expenditures Schumacher Red Cross Illness in Germany had increased by two hundred per cent since the rise of Hitler, said the speaker. Dr. Marescl dron were us each other, o tives. Hitler : liars., he said Amendment to Statement of Claim of Power Company Goebbels stated that there were two kinds of nations, the rising and the decadent. It was only natural that to the rising must be given and from the decadent must ‘be taken. Hitler used sixty per cent of the naâ€" tional income for armaments and thirty per cent for graft and propaganda. On the remaining ten per cent no nation could live. Hitler claimed that he had made a ‘"moral citizen" out of the German. "I know lhiundreds of small Hitiers® and there is not one who is not corrupt and a grafter," said Dr. Maresch. Hitler, he claimed, was not an imâ€" moral man, he was ammoral. He had not the slightest conception of right and ‘wrong. Right was his desires, Dr. Maresch then described how chilâ€" dron were used as spies to inform on each other, on their parents and relaâ€" tives. Hitler was raising a generation of Germany counted herself a "rising nation. THE PORCUPTIN E ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO "Never was there a time," said Mr. McEvenue "when the nseds for life insurance were so many Cr so varied. Never were the qualifications demanded of the underwriter to meet these conâ€" ditions more exacting." "I am strongly in favor of the highest possible earnings for life underwriters that can be obtained without increasing the cost of insurance to the public," Mr. McEvenue stated. "Such a condition is best first for the Life Underwriter, tending to keep him permanently in the business, building up his awn selfâ€" confidence and encouraging him to professionalize his work. Secondly, such a condition is best for the insurâ€" ance companies as it produces a better quality of dusiness and makes for more eccnomical operations. And perhaps most important of all, it is best for the policyholder because it produces for him intelligent service, sound adviceâ€" and a share in the benefits of economiâ€" cal managzement." Mr. Longwell went to Cobalt as soon as ‘the first word the silver veins drifted south, and from his efforts grew Coniagas Minecs. He returned his earnâ€" ings again and again into the mining industry and has played a part in minâ€" ing development in all parts of the country. halk.. 1 Mr. Longwell was torn in Hastings county.

Canadians might obtain an entirely new conception of the possibiltiies and dignity of selling life insurance if they were aware Oof the income earned> by the successful salesman and the qualiâ€" fications demanded of him, according to S. C. McEvenue, General Manager of the Canada Life Insurance Company. Speakinz at the Life Underwriters Associaticn of Toronto, Mr. McEvenus pointed cut that the value of a job is apt to be judged ‘by the income it ‘will provide for a qualified man. In this regard, the Canada Life recently comâ€" pleted a survey of its wholeâ€"time salesâ€" men who had been in the business five years or more . It was fcund that the average earnings of these men, even including those in small, rural communâ€" itiesâ€"earnings paid by the ccmpany in cash during the year â€" amcunted to $2,407. This figure is higher than average earnings in any of the occupaâ€" tions classed as "nonâ€"professional" in the last census records and double those ©6f many . These occupations include schocl ; teachers, telegraph operators, locomotive engineers, bookkeepers and so on. "Quarter Million" Clubâ€"men of really professional calibreâ€"earned an average of $5,411. Comparing this with a recent survey of other professional earnings in the United States he pointed out that the average physician, with the highest earnings of any profession listed, is not earning any more than the average Quarter Million Club member.

Mr. McEvenue went on to explain that members of the Canada Life James H.
