TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Woerkly Newspaper Association; Onlarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group TWO PHONESâ€"26 and 2020 Published Every Monday and Thursday by GEO,. LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: | Oanucdaâ€"$3.00 Per Year. United Statesâ€"$3.500 Per Year Some newspapers are attacking Premier Hepâ€" burn because he has used newspaperâ€" spag:e in Ontario newspapers to make plain the attitude of the Ontario Government on the recent Birdis Reâ€" port conference. Premier Hepburn wouldâ€"have been derelict in his duty as head of the province nad he not taken some method to acquaint the people with the facts of the case. From the very time the Sirois Report conference was announced there has been a vicious campaign of misrepresenâ€" tation about the report and about any who dare to question anything about it. Instead of. seeking discussion of the report on national lines, the govâ€" ernment at Ottawa loosened a barrage of claptrap about unity and harmony and goodwill, featuring the threat that anyone who would not swallow the 1epoxt holus bolus would be branded as an agitator and a traitor. The very attitude of the government suggested that there must be someâ€" thing wrong, something to hide, or . why the fury of denunciation of all opponents before they had said a word. The unfair and unprincipled attiâ€" tude of the government was indicated by the fact that a young lawyer named Fowler was allowed to talk over the radio, because it was knownâ€"that he was an ardent supporter of the, who:e report. but Col. Geo. A. Drew, leader of the opposmon in the Ontario Legislature, was refused all radio time, even the private stations being forbidden to give him this privilege, even though he was ready and \Vlllmg to for If. The conference . itself brought out more mlsrepxesentatlon and unfairâ€" ness. It was announced over the party governâ€" ment radio that Premier Hepburn and his followâ€" ers deliberately walked out of the conférence, thus scuttling the whole affair, when they did nothing of the kind. It was only to be expected that Preâ€" mier Hepburn would refuse to take this sort of organized injustice un any submissive spirit. It is well for Canada that there are men left who will fight openly and earnestly against such Nazi tactics. Belated corrections were made over the radio and in the press in regard to the misrepreâ€" sentation of Ontario‘s premier, but the attitude of * P «se “""""""""""""O" stt P P P AP PP P M *\ many appeaxed to be that there were brave hopes that the truth would not be able to.catch up with the selfish lies cast to the four winds. To an imâ€" partial observer it would appear as if pressure had been brought to bear on newspapers and â€"radio to completely misrepresent . the attitude and acâ€" tions hot only of Premier Hepburn, but.of all Onâ€" # Probably the worst misrepresentation and inâ€" i justice came after the conference had duly closed.| The Premier of Manitoba was allowed time on l radio .(the same radio that refused to allow Col. Drew to buy a hearing) to give his views on the Sirois Report conference." The Manitoba premier made a vicious attack not only upon Premier Hepâ€" burn, but on Ontario in general, adding threats of boycott for Ontario trade and unmerited slurs on Ontariv‘s honesty and patriotism. By this addreéess the Mamtoba premier made it xmp°rat1ve that Ontario‘s attitude in the matter should be. made plain.». Without a formal and authoritative reply from Ontario, those who desire to force the Sirois Report through to the ruination of Canadian unity would have had a clear field to carry on their vicioug misrépresentation and their attempt to jam tmough a political trick under cover of socalled unity and the exigencies of war. ! NATIONAL GOVERNMENT NEEDED Some Liberal party newspapers at the present time are paying too much kindly attention to the lack of strength and unity they think they see in the onceâ€"great Conservative party. The Globe and Mail recently has been on the poirtt of tears because the Conservatives do not appear as unitâ€" ed and powerful as they never really were, David Harum said that a reasonable amount of fieas was good for a dogâ€"they kept him from brooding too much en being a dog.

P C oooooooooooomo'"n «eP P se e i i n n ie mo'wwm‘ Instead of the Liberals weeping over the sad situation of the Tory party or the Conservatives gloating over the discord in the Grit factions, the crying need of the day is for all to unite to save Canada. One party cannot do it, let alone any minority faction of one party. At the present time the government is calling on all Canadians to go "all out" for the winning of the war, to make sacâ€" rifices, to give their utmost. At the same time the government itself will not sacrfice the slightest political trickery, will not give up even a party name. It might surprise those who still retain the political party mind to know how little the people care about any particular party. To listen to some of the party orators it might be thought that they realized the seriousness of the menace to Canada toâ€"day, while the people did not. Inâ€" stead, to judge by acts, not talk, the people are the ones who sense the danger in which this land lies now, while the party men are busying themselves in a makeâ€"believe world of unrealitiesâ€"harmless, perhaps, in days of peace, but threatening all that Canadians hold dear toâ€"day. Canadian should go "all out" to win the war, but the government should lead the owayâ€"â€"a gov â€" ernment truly national in personnél and scopeâ€"â€" showing the example of economy, of thrift, of efâ€" fort, of unity, of singleness of purposeâ€"a@ gOvernâ€" ment using all the ability of all the people, as well as all the resources, regardless of outworn party labelsâ€"to save Canada and to build the greater Canada that may arise after the war is won. * "'""“N"""""" After every war in history there has been a roll of heroes honoured, with the sure belief that the unknown heroes far outnumbeird those given place in the hall of fame. The present war apâ€" pears to have uncovered so many noble and courâ€" ageous souls that it will be impossible to find volâ€" umes enough to inscribe all their names and deeds. The gallant heroism of the Polish soldiers and sailors and airmen and the Polish people themâ€" selves would require a veritable library to recount. The story of Warsaw alone deserves volumes. Out~ standing in the tale would be the radio announcer at Warsaw, who continued at his post despite the fury of the assaults upon the city, and hurled bitâ€". ing humour and bold defiance at the enemy, while: inspiring the people to hold out against the invadâ€" ing Hun. There is another Warsaw epic that should also be rememberedâ€"the story of the squadron of airâ€"fighters that attempted to defend the city against the hordes of enemy planes. Outâ€" numbered fifty to one, these gallant Polish airmen put up a battle such as equals even the famed exploits of the Royal Air Forceâ€"and there can be no greater tribute than that. Scores of German planes were shot down, only to be replaced by furâ€" ther Nazi craft. These in their turn were desâ€" troyed but others took their place. Finally by sheer force of numbers the Nazis gained the vicâ€" tory. The Polish fighters shot down more than thirty planes for each one they lost, it is said, but even that preponderance in skill and daring did not save them from the enormous odds they had to face. At last there was only a single Polish plane remaining, and the pilot of ‘that fighter faced the fieet of the enemy alone. Of, course there could be only one end to such an unequal battle, but before his plane finally crashed the gallant pilot sent several more Nazi machines to earth. * t P P AP P AP P P P L P L P PP The sequel to this story came from England last weekâ€"end. The last of Poland‘s fighting airmen shot down over Warsaw was able to make his esâ€" cape and reach his homeâ€"or what had been his homeâ€"in safety. He found his father, mother, wife and fourâ€"yearâ€"old son buried in the bomved ruins of their home. He tried to dig them out, and one by one he saw them die. Life held but one purpose henceforth for him. He would never rest until he sought out Major von Epp who was in charge of the bombers who so systematically and pitilessly murdered the people of Warsaw from the air. This pilot made his way to Britain and begged to be given a plane and the chance to seek his brutal foe. Since joining the R. A.

With its issue last week The New Liskeard Speaker entered on its 36th year of service to the North Land. In this young country, thirtyâ€"five years appears a long time; ahd The Speaker is one of the oldest newspapers in the North. In older parts of Canada thirtyâ€"five years may not seem so long a lifeâ€"time of setvice for a newspaper, many boasting of 60, 70, 100 and mone years. It is safte to say, however, that few of these older journals have crowded into their longer years of service as much genuine effort and benefit to their community as has been given by The Speak â€" er.

There is an old superstition to the effect that when there are more boys than girls born in any given time it is a sign that there is a war coming. Any who believe in that superstition will have something to worry over in the record of the regisâ€" tration of births in Timmins last week. The reâ€" cord for the week shows eight births of boys and only five of daughters. To make it more serious there were two pairs of twin boys. To cap it all, the total number of births was thirteen. Teck township council at Kirkland Lake has decided to have stenographic reports of all counâ€" cil proceedings and addresses. Apparently Teck township council does not see any need for conâ€" serving pulp and paper in these days of war.
