Oanadaâ€"$3.00 Per Year TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Onlarioâ€" Quebee Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group TWO PHONESâ€"26 and 2020 Published Every Monday and Thursday by GEOQO. LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: Christmas is particularly the "Children‘s Fesâ€" tival." To rob children of this great joy of childâ€" hoodâ€"a joy whose memories make the years of later life happier and more bearableâ€"is to takC away something that is beyond price or reckoning. The unfortunate children of Russia and of Gerâ€" many have been deliberately robbed of Christmas. In many other lands, it will be a sad Christmas for the children. If Hitler and Mussolini had been able to follow their foul plans, there would have been no Christmas for Britain or any of the Dominions or colonies beyond the seas. But the gangster nations have failed in their assaults on Great Britain. For months past there has been a wonderful spirit evident in Britainâ€"a spirit that might almost be termed jollity. Adversity, and death itself have been met with humour and quip. There has been abroad also a great spirit of sacriâ€" fice, of help for others, of thought for others. The stories that reach the world of men risking their lives, giving their lives, to help others, of women bearing grievous burdens of labour and of risk with cheerfulness and courage, of even the childâ€" ren facing death with songs like "Roll Out the Barrel." Surely, this spirit is akin to the Christâ€" mas spiritâ€"the spirit of faith, of friendship, of hope, of happiness, of thought for others, of help for others, of joy for all. To some people the greeting "A Merry Christâ€" mas!" seems out of place in these days when so large a portion of the world is under the heel of those who scorn all that the Christmas spirit means. The truth, however, is that the whole civilized world this year should make a special point of observing Christmas, To do so is to hurl defiance at the powers of evil. The people of Briâ€" tain recognize this fact and are holding all the traditional Christmas festivals and ceremonies, though some of them have to be conducted under danger and difficulty. It is realized by the galâ€" lant people overseas that if Hitler could rob the people of Christmas and all it means, it would be a greater triumph for blackguardism and gangâ€" sterism than has yet come to the banners of the retrograde nations. Christmas with its friendâ€" ship, its affection for family and friends, its thought of others, its spirit of kindness and sacriâ€" fice, should be carried on this year, above all other years, because it is so needed. And from its graciâ€" ous spirit will come strength and renewed faith and revived courage to fight on to victory. Let this Christmas then be a Merry Christmas, a real Christmas, with the Christmas spirit eviâ€" dent and unashamed. Wherever courage and integrity and ability and patriotism are prized, men will mourn the death last week of Kyosti Kallio, former president of Finland. He did not die on the battle field, but he gave his life for his people just as truly as if he had fallen to a bullet from the enemy. He was one of the three men who were faced with making the decision as to whether Finland would retain its independence, keep its soul, or tamely submit to the aggressor. President Kallio, Viceâ€"President Risto Ryti and Baron Mannerheim decided that Finland would prefer to risk annihilation rather than to be robbed of freedom and lend aid to the gangster nations. In this decision, President Kalâ€" lio was given the ardent endorsement of the Finâ€" nish people. In the war that followed, Finland showed a greatness that astounded the world. while Russia was humiliated and shamed. The resources of the big bully, however, .eventually forced Finland to acceptance of terms of peace. Finland retained its independence, though it lost, for the time, some of its territory. Free peoples elsewhere hope the day will dawn when Finland will recover all, and more than it has lost. In any event the moral victory was overwhelmingly with Finland. There is reason to believe that pressure from its old friend, Germany, was a factor in bringâ€" ing the Finnish people to accept peace terms.

WALDH, Secretars Britain and France had many difficulties to overâ€"| come to be able to offer any material aid to Finâ€" land. At the same time Finland had neighbours so neutral from fear and fifthâ€"columnism as to be an added menace. In a word, Finland had to face a mighty enemy with nothing but its own great courage and its small resources. In this unequal battle, President Kallio took the part of a hero and a genius. He gave his country his health, his strength, his talent. On Thursday last he paid in full the price of patriotism when he dropped dead on the station platform at Helsinki. He was on his way to his country home to retire from active public life. His countrymen had gathered to cheer and honour him. The gallant Finnish soldâ€" iers who formed his guard of honour had just been reviewed by him, when he stopped, and swayed, and then fell into the arms of one of his staff. The arms that had supported him in life held him up in death, and carried him to a resting place. His name will be remembered among the free men of the earthâ€"Kallio, a man, a patriot, who gave his life for his people. Britain, mourning the death of one of its own noble sons, Lord Lothian, mourns also the passing of Kyosti Kallio. Both of these great men gave their lives in the service of the lands and the peoâ€" ples they loved. It is beyond question that at least indirectly the enemy was responsible for the death of eachâ€"through the strain and the burden imposed upon them. History may charge the enemy with even more direct concern in the passâ€" ing of these two heroes of this day. The dictatorial attitude of the Ontario authoriâ€" ties in attempting to change the name of the pretty lttle Northern village of Swastika has raisâ€" ed such a storm of disapproval that the Toronto people are now making the excuses that they should have presented before as reasons for sugâ€" gesting the changing of the name. Chief among these excuses is the idea that tourists from the United States will be amazed to find a place called Swastika in a loyal British country. As The Adâ€" vance has remarked before, if the authorities wish to worry over what United States tourists may think, there is enough anxiety and to spare in considering the reactions of the tourists when they notice soldiers in this loyal British country begging and stealing rides to get home on leave. Apparently Modest Mussolini spoke the truth, for once, when he said:â€""When I start, nothing can stop me." He might add:â€""And nobody can catch me!" If the Ontario government is really interested in showing the tourist the great loyalty of this proâ€" vince of Ontario, why not capitalize on any quesâ€" tion about Swastika? Why not make a selling point of the name itself? Why not let the mania for putting up signs take a turn to 81gns like the following : â€" Fortunately Hitler lays no claim to Christmas, so even the people of Swastika will be able to enâ€" jJoy it without fear of interference from the Onâ€" tario government. should drop their names simply because Old Man Hitler is such an unprincipled thief. Editors and reporters have a difficult time with such names as Argirocastro, Cappuzo, Sidi Barâ€" rani, and so on. But these are nothing to the intelligent compositor who is used to Etaoin and Shrdlu. "Swastika!l We had the name a quarter of a century before the Nazis tried to steal the emblem. What we have we hold!" To one and all sincere wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Glad New Yearâ€"with Victory near.
