From South Porcupine comes the information that the High School in that enterprising centre has appointed ,an instructor for High School Cadets, and that when volunteers to join the group for Cadet training were called for, each and every boy in the whole school was anxious to enâ€" rol. _ The attitude of the High School and the pupils alike are most encouraging. It shows that nut only is the seriousness of the situation fully recognized, but there is also appreciation of the fact that not only is it the duty of every man to be ready to defend his country and his way of life, but also that training is an essential to the effecâ€" tiveness of men in fulfilling this duty. Not only has the Canadian Navy been of vital value on the shores of Canada but it has also played a notable part in other sections of the world. On the radio last night there was referâ€" ence to the gallant part played by ships of the LCanadian Navy in the rescue of British troops from France. It would be well worth while to make public more particulars of the service of the Canadian Navy. It is recognized, of course, that no information should be made public that might in any way be of service to the enemy. But there are affairs near Canada‘s shoresâ€"and overseasâ€" in which the Canadian Navy took such a noble part that the recounting of the deeds would make all Canadian hearts glow with pride and enthusiâ€" asm. The Advance suggests that the Director of Public Information release a few articles giving all the facts that may safely be told in regard to‘ the Royal Canadian Navy. There are many such articles in reference to the Royal Canadian Air Force. The Canadian Active Service Force has received its quota of publicity. Why not some special attention to the Royal Canadian Navy? After the war is won, the Royal Canadian Navy no doubt will receive its full proportion of praise and thanks for the gallant work accomplishedâ€" especially on the Atlantic seaboard. Thoughtful people will agree that the Director of Public Inâ€" formation has done excellent work in every phase of the war to which his attention has been' directed. The Advance is so convinced of the material part in the battle played by the Cana-, dian Navy here and overseas that it seems but proper that the complete story of the Royal Canâ€" adian Navy and its remarkable success should not be deferred until after the final victory. The creation and development and expansion of the Royal Canadian Navy is one of the epic romances of the war. Some official stories of its gallant, part in the present struggle would be heartening, inspiring and gladdening to the hearts of all Canâ€" adians and other Britishers. There was a time when it was the fashion to sneer at the Canadian Navy. Perhaps the Canaâ€" dian Navy deserved nothing better at that time. That Canadian Navy of years ago was little better than a political dream â€" a political nightmare, some termed it. It was the effort of people of great political gifts, but with little more knowâ€" ledge of the sea than that it was somewhat salty and very wet. The Canadian Navy of 1940 is an altogether different affair. The officers are men appointed for their knowledge of naval affairs and not for their political sagacity. The men who man the ships of the Canadian Navy are born seamenâ€"and men from British» Columbia, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, who have lived by the sea all their lives and who know the sea. With them is a leaven of young men from other provinces who have the spirit of adventure in their blood, the resolve of freedom in their hearts. The Canadian Navy has a number of modern vessels of war, but much of the array of ships now in the Navy are what may be termed converted boats. All sorts of ships have been conscripted to naval work. It is such a collection of motley vessels as would make the Nazis laugh with scorn â€"provided the said Nazis were far enough from the Canadian Navy to make laughter safe or posâ€" sible. The Germans know about the Canadian Navyâ€"the type of vessels that comprise a large part of it. At first the Nazis had sneers for "fishâ€" ing smacks with a few squares of sheet metal on their sides, a couple of oldâ€"fashioned guns mountâ€" ed on them, and these called menâ€"ofâ€"war." The war had not been long in progress, however, before the Nazis changed their attitude in regard to the Royal Canadian Navy. It was shown ‘to the enemy that courage and superb seamanship made the Canadian Navy a factor that could not be scorned with safety. It is now a matter of comâ€" mon knowledge that the Canadian Navy did its full part in the patrol of the Canadian shores. More than one German submarine knew for a few| minutes that the Canadian Navy was effective. But the submarines did not live to tell the story. e T T T TIMMINXS®, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Quebee Newspaper Association:; Class "A" Weekly Group TWO PHONESâ€"26 and 2020 Published Every Monday and Thursday by GEOQO,.

Some of them were forced to go long disâ€" tances to be able to enlist. Most of them were sent far away to train. Few of them have been left in position to pay transportation charges to visit their homes on leave. The fact that most of the railways are publicly owned adds to the irritaâ€" tion. To the common mind it seems to be a simâ€" ple matter of bookâ€"keeping to instal an immediâ€" ate system for the free transportation of soldiers on leave. There does not appear to be any seriâ€" ous difficulty in arranging such free transportation Â¥or members of parliament and the legislatures. It would be well for the Dominion Government to There will be very general approval of the acâ€" tion of the Timmins town council in passing the resolution urging the Government to make proper arrangements for the transportation of Canadian soldiers on leave. It is encouraging to note also that the recent meeting of municipal representaâ€" tives in convention passed a similar resolution. The Timmins resolution forwarded to the authorâ€" ities voices the opinions and wishes of the people in general in this loyal town. There is every reaâ€" son to believe that the representatives of the variâ€" ous municipalities at the convention also voiced the desires of the many townships, towns and citâ€" ies represented. Indeed, it is not too much to say that all Canada resents the shabby treatment acâ€" corded soldiers on leave. The people of Canada are quite willing and ready to pay the costs of the transportation of soldiers on leaves, just as they are ready to meet all other legitimate expenses in connection with the war. There does not seem to} be the slightest excuse for the refusal of the Doâ€" { minion authorities to look after this detail. Thei kindest thing to say about it is to suggest that 1t is due to red tape. In that event sincerely to be hoped that the resolutions from' the various municipalities, the advice from In-i dividuals and from the newspapers will soon reâ€" sult in the sweeping away of the red tape and the making of arrangements whereby the soldiers may visit their homes on leave without the necessity of begging rides. It is to be hoped that the example of South Porcupine will be followed all through the Dominâ€" ion and that the Cadet movement will be revived and extended to cover all Canada. If there is not time enough for Cadet work and all the other sports of the day, it would be well to drop a few of the general sports and give some time to the Cadets. "Health, Strength, Training, Discipline," these are the flowers of the Cadet Movement. Earnestly as all may wish that this is the last war for generations upon generations, it is only the part of wisdom to remember that for peace or wWar, health, strength, training and discipline are values to be cultivated in the true interests of the people. The campaign of the teachers‘ organization did not meet with the complete public endorsation and enthusiasm that The Advance hoped it would. There has been in past years a foolish fear of enâ€" ccuraging militarism in this nation, and the silly idea that if Canadians and other Britishers did not learn anything about warfare, no one would dver think of attacking them. With half the world openly arming for conflict, it appears idiotic that such views should be held by people who preâ€" tended to be sane. But the facts remain. Calls for health, strength, training, discipline, immeâ€" diately roused cries against militarism. At one time the Cadets were numerous in Canada and this form of training and discipline did much to increase.the health, the strength and the disciâ€" pline of Canadian youth. There was no militarâ€" ism, no conscription, about the movement. Yet it roused the ire of all the peaceâ€"atâ€"anyâ€"price people and the anger of all the antiâ€"militarists. Miss Agnes Macphail, then the only woman memâ€" ber of parliament in Canada, was one of the fiercâ€" est in condemning the Cadets. Throughout the country in those mad days of unreality and imâ€" practicability there grew an opposition to the Cadets that finally came near to killing the moveâ€" ment. A few farâ€"seeing schools were neither disâ€" mayed nor deterred by the false outecry. It is only a matter of justice to refer to the years in which the Cadets of Schumacher carried on their good work and won and held the public approval. ondary School Teachers conducted a campaign urging means and measures to assure the greatâ€" a@st possible physical fitness of all pupils in the high and vocational schools and other secondary schools. The Advance takes much pleasure toâ€" day in the fact that no other newspaper in the province gave more space or prominence to the campaign. The arguments used by the teachers on that occasion show a keenness of perception and a farsightedness that take on double meanâ€" ing toâ€"day. <â€"It was pointed out that health was an essential factor in success of peace, no less than in days of war. Reference was made to the intense competition from other nations in the line of industry and commerce, and to the fact that if this competition were to be met, Canadians must be a healthy and a virile people. Little was said in reference to preparations for defence of all the people of Canada hold dear, but thoughtful people could scarcely fail to consider that feature of the matter. With health, strength, discipline, trainâ€" ing, Canada could develop a people able to take and to hold their place in the world of toâ€"day. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO Mr. H. P.

Modern Store For Rent MISCELLANEOUS in South Porcupine There have been suggestions made by the Huns â€"and even from more friendly sourcesâ€"that Briâ€" ‘tain has become decadentâ€"that the glory has departed from the world‘s greatest empire. Last wock gave the lie to that story. Britain has shown herself greater and more glorious than ever before in her history. After air attacks such as never before were borne by any city on earth, Britain still is cool, undaunted, deflant, undismayâ€" ed, humorous. The people of Britain are showing the inspiration and proving the truth of the noble words of Britain‘s King:â€" "Put into your task, whatever it may be, all the courage and purpose of which you are capable. Keep your hearts proud and your resolve unshakâ€" en. Let us go forward to that task as one man, a smile on our lips, and our heads held high, and with God‘s help we shall not fail."
