It is nearly thirty years ago since the first Burns bangquet was held in the Porcupine Camp. Among the pioneers of the camp were such Scotâ€" lish names as Wilson, Preston, Campbell, Bannerâ€" man, Gillies, Stirling, Kelso, McIntyre, McDougalli, Gordon, Brown, McInnis, and a host of others, so it is not to be wondered at that one of the first functions (partly social, partly political, partly religious, and wholly Scottish) should be a Burns Supper. Oldâ€"timers récall with fervour the Burns events of the ecarly days. One in 1916 in Timmins stands out in the mengory of many. After the establishment of the Caledonian Society in Timâ€"| mins it was the custom to have a Burns Supper each succeeding year. Only once in twenty years did Timmins fail to have such an event. It is as natural for Scotsmen to hold Burns Suppers as It is for them to boast about being Scots. On this account it may puzzle some Sassenachs to know why the customary Burus Supper was not Dr. John W. S. McCullough was for many years Chief Health Officer of Ontario. From 1914 to 1918 he served with the Canadian Army Medical Corps overseas. For a long term of years he was actively associated with the Health League of Canadaâ€"a voluntaryâ€"association of medical men and laymen working together for better health for Canada. During his tenure of office as Chief Health Officer for Ontario he initiated the free distribution of antiâ€"toxin for diphtheria; he was ardent in his assistance to the battle against tuberculosis; he was an earnest advocate of pasâ€" teurization of milk; he worked with unflaggingl zeal to combat the scourge of social diseases; hel studied the ravages of cancer and other prevalent discases with determination to help in the finding of the remedies. The great majority of doctors | give very generous service to their day and gen-!, eration, but even in such a gallant company of i good citizens, Dr. McCullough was outstanding. He was a pioneer, a leader, but above all, he was a public servantâ€"the ideal public servantâ€"findâ€" ng his chief rewardâ€"his only desired rewardâ€"in the service of his fellows. Dr. McCullough is gone, but the value of his work remains not only in the better health of Canada, but in the impetus, that his ecarnestness and unselfish service gave to | the movement for still further Progress. | a way as to have general appeal. In the case of his articles, it was not a matter so much of giving publicity to a cause, as it was of giving readers the benefit of wide study and knowledge on subâ€" jects that appealed to all. If the cause benefitted indirectly, the reader benefitted at once. The Advance looked upon Dr. McCullough as a sort of exâ€"officio member of the staff. His artitles were always timely and helpful and carried the ring of sincerity as well as the stamp of knowâ€" ledge. The amount of propaganda that comes into the average newspaper oflice is simply appalling. Much of the source of it is purely mercenary, purely selfish. But there are other sources, givâ€" ing gladly and generously of their own strength and interest, seeking only the help of others for the common good. In this category must go all the articles coming from the Health League of Canada. Dr. McCullough‘s articles were authoriâ€" tative and yet couched in language easily underâ€" stood by the layman and written in so interesting The tribute by Dr. Bates has been widely copied in the weekly and semiâ€"weekly press of Canada but it seems to The Advance that to this might be added the individual tributes of the newspapers themselves. The late Dr. McCullough appeared to recognize that the weekly and semiâ€"weekly newsâ€" papers of Canada have a power and influence far in excess of the size of their circulation and that to reach the hearts of the people there is no surer way than through the weekly and semiâ€"weekly newspapers. Dr. McCullough wanted to reach the hearts of the people because he had a message from his own warm heartâ€"a message of help and benefit and progress. This does not mean that. he used the newsPrapers to work his own plans and;' purposes, but rather that he sought and won the“ coâ€"operation of the newspapers for a cause that:i appealed to their hearts as it did to his own. | In the current issue of "Health", the magazine issued by the Health League of Canada, there is a tribute to the late Dr. John W. S. McCullough, MD., CM.. DP.H, Dr Gordon Bates, himself a pioneer and a leader in public health progress in Canada, in writing this tribute says:â€"‘"In the passing of Dr. John W. S. McCuilough, public health in Canada loses one of its outstanding figures, one of a group of pioneers in the field who were, largely responsible for the building up of our bresent efficient health machinery . Dr. McCullough was a man of sterling qualltles thor- oughly sincere and honest, and a veritable cruâ€" sader in public health, the cause to which he deâ€" voted his life." ! | | TIMMIN®S, QONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association:; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group TWO PHONESâ€"26 and 2020 Published Every Monday and Thursday by GEO,.

But the remedy should not be organization of anâ€" other political or economical party. What is really needed is for the government to instruct the Wartime Prices and Trade Board to function fullyâ€"to see that the farmer producer is protectâ€" ed, as well as the consumer. Indeed, there is a suspicion that the Wartime Prices and Trade ns is tm t | _ _ The case of the farmers illustrates the regretâ€" table situation in general. For years past the farmers have been having a struggle to exist. No | one would desire that they should make undue profit out of the war. The farmers do not wish | anything likeâ€" that, for they are as patriotic as any and as anxious as any that freedom and right ;Shall prevail in the world. They are ready, no doubt, to make sacrifices, but it is unfair, unjust, impractical to believe that they should be singled out for undue and unnecessary burdens. It is likely that they placed their faith in the Warâ€" time Prices and Trade Board to assure them a fair deal. They are finding, however, that Prices are ,set now at levels that xun below their actual | costs. While the suggestion is made that they increase production to meet wartime needs, they find they can not, at present prices, continue their ' work of production even at recent rates of out,put.’ The fact that town and city industries are luring away their hired help by wages far beyond their power to equal, adds to their difficulties. With everything they buy increased in price they see no possible way of carrying on at the rates set for their Produce. In a word the studied statement of the farmers is that they are asked to produce below actual cost. If that is the case, it is surely an improper and unf{fair situation. Its improâ€" priecty is all the greater in view of the fact that the consumer toâ€"day is paying increased prices for all farm produce. Where is the difference going? There are enoughâ€"and too manyâ€"Political and quasiâ€"political organizations at the present moâ€" ment. There should be no necessity for any speâ€" cial organization to protect the farmer or anyone else at this time. The only party needed toâ€"dayâ€" the only organization â€" is one composed of the united people of all Canada to help win the war. It is deplorable that the attitude of the party govâ€" ernment makes it impossible for union and proâ€" gress at this time. The Ottawa government has prated so much about "unity‘"â€"while at the samei time doing so many underhand things to disrupt the countryâ€"that the word "unity‘" is beginning in stink in the nostrils of patriotic people. \_â€"There are reports current that efforts are being ‘ made to organize the farmers of Canada into so !united and strong a body that the government ! will not dare to continue to make them the chief victims of the war. On the one hand there is the story that the farmers themselves are frantically seeking some such organization as a matter of simple preservation. On the other hand there is the suggestion that patriotic citizens are urging the farmers to some such organization as the‘ only means of keeping the important industry of‘l farming on a proper basis. It would be well to remember that the situation presents a grave danger at this particular time. One particular trouble is that there are certain disaffected forces in this country that would be delighted to use the rank injustice under which the farmer is suffering as a means to «stablish an organization that wili not be wholeheartedly for the good of Canada. in it l ie e «t l P P P PA PPAAA AP P LA P It is well to remember that even if there were no Burns Banquet this year, Robert Burns, the great Scots poet is far from forgotten in Timmins or elsewhere. There was a notable tribute to Burns in The Advance last week from the gifted pen of Mr. W. M. Whyte. In many societies and clubs there has been special reference to the Scotâ€" tish poet, his life and his works. He was one of the world‘s greatest advocates of freedom, democracy, humanity and kindnessâ€"the ideals for which the world battles toâ€"day. His poems are full of inspiring words that might well be taken as mottoes for this day and hour. By oppression‘s woes and pains, By your sons in servile chains, We will drain our dearest veins But they shall be free Lay the proud usurper low, Tyrants fall in every foe, Liberty‘s in every blow. Let us doâ€"or die. _ While there are more Scotsmen in Timmins and district than ever beforeâ€"there being more people hereâ€"the war has made its call upon Scotsâ€" men as upon others. One of the proud items that might have been told at a Burns Supper here this year is the fact that Timmins has no less than 75 men in the 48th Highlanders Regimentâ€"toâ€"day. In addition there are scores of other Timmins Scots who have been overseas for many months. The Porcupine District Pipe Band, for example, has had a difficult time keeping up its strength through the loss of so many of its members enlistâ€" ing. 'held this year. Saturday night, Jan. 250th, howâ€" ever, passed without this tribute to the love that Scots bear their great poet. Many regsons will be given for the lack of the event. The war, of course, had its effect, because there are so many calls upon time and effort. It is a comforting thought, however, to know that had there been a Burns supper this year, it is a certainty that one of the songs that would have been sung with ferâ€" vour would have been "There‘ll Always be an Engâ€" land." A FAIR DEAL FOR THE FARMERS Hon. Mr. McQuesten walked into a mess of trouble when he attempted arbitrarily to change the name of Swastika, because it was the English Lt.â€"General Kazuma Suzuki, Japanese military mogul, is quoted as saying:â€""It is rash to conâ€" clude that China will crumple at an carly date." Such a remark deserves a medal for understateâ€" ment. It will take the Japanese another four hundred years to conquer the Chinese people, while China is more likely to defeat Japan in thel next three years. According to information given The Advance there are no less than seventyâ€"five men from Timmins now in the 48th Highlanders Regiment of Toronto. And true Scots will be pleased that with all the Scottish names in this group of seventyâ€"five, there are also other names that inâ€" dicate English, Irish, Welsh, Cornish, Polish, French and other descent. i Flees!" « ‘"‘The Italian Navy Flces!"
