Probably the next impression made will be the time, the effort and the skill that was necessary to produce these notable articles. It will be reâ€" «anembered that the diqplay includes only a few sa-mples as it were. Each article on display in cases reptesents hundreds of similar articles ce the.war began. During the past Magistrate Atkinson did his bit this week in the present effort to conserve gasoline noermally used by civilians, so that there may be more ample supply for war purposes. On Tuesday the magisâ€" traté sent a couple of motorists to jail for ten days and ordered the impounding of their cars, because he found the drivers guilty of operating motor cars while under the influence of liquor. That will mean that for some months the motor cars concerned will not be consuming any gasoline at all. This suggests a scheme that might do more to conserve gasoline than the average meâ€" thod of rationing. In addition it might add conâ€" siderably to the safety of traffic by hoiding back gasoline from dangerous drivers, The idea, in a nutsheil, is to substitute fines in terms of gasoline for the present cash fines and terms of imprisonâ€" ment. For each offence against the traffic and safety laws each guilty driver would forfeit so much gasoline, or have his car tied up for so long. Here is a suggeSted list of offences and penalties:â€"â€" For parking more than the allotted time, 1 galâ€" lon and costs. For passing a red light, three to forty gallons and costs. For defective lights, a gallon and a half and costs. costs. +21 For cutting in on traffic, fifteen gallons and costs. For speeding, twenty, gallons and costs. For unnecessary hornâ€"tooting, twentyâ€"five galâ€" lons and costs. For driving cars older than this camp, forty gallons, without costs. . For careless driving, fifty gallons and costs. For driving while drunk, a thousand gallons and double costs. For driving without a license, two gallons and costs. For driving with last year‘s markers, five galâ€" lons and costs. It was the Irishman who suggested that many a lie spoken in jest proved true. By the same tokâ€" en, many a joke spoken in seriousness may prove a good idea. In any event if the Oil Controller and the law officials would take up this gasoline fine idea they might be able to make it a good joke on all concerned. It would be a good joke on the authorities if they conserved oil by penalizing lawâ€"breaking motorists; it would be a good joke on the offending motorists if every time they broke a traffic rule they automatically prevented themselves from being able to do it again for a time; and it would be a joke on the public if they could increase safety in traffic, punish lawâ€"breakers, and conserve gasoline for war putrâ€" poses all at the one time.

It is not enough to glance at the goods now on display in these windows and then pass on and forget about the matter. Not only should the goods be studied, but there should be thought given to the lessons indicated by the disâ€" plays. The goods in these windows are products of the Timmins Red Crossâ€"â€"made by local ladies either at their homes or at the Red Cross rooms here. They are not picked samples, but rather may be termed the average everyday productâ€" the "run of the mine," as it were. There are orâ€" dinary socks for soldiers, the seamen‘s long socks, sleeveless sweaters, turtleneck sweaters, whole mitts, rifle mitts, helmets, scarves, face cloths, wristlets, face masks, bed jackets, pyjamas, dressâ€" ing gowns, hospital bed gowns, pneumonia jackets, knickers, comfort bags, slippers, and many other articles, Probably the first thing that will impress anyâ€" one inspecting the windows is the very evident perfection of the knitting and the sewing. The artcles have the appearance of carefully finished articles completed by experts. Timmins would be very proud to have a privatelyâ€"owned factory that would turn. out goods of this variety and this exâ€" vellence. There would be much said about such a factory if it were a private enterprise. Surely, it is worthy of special consideration that there is such a factory conducted by the free people of the towmnmâ€"a very triumph surely of.democracy at its best. Timmins, Ont., Thursday, July 24th, 1941 Ebhe Yorrupine Advanee Tor driving with 1939 markers, ten gallons and ONE WAY TO SAVE GASOLINE l l P PP P 'OO'â€"'O"'“MWM "‘"EEF THESE WINDOWS United Per Year may well take pride in the success achieved â€" a sucecess that these window displays makes very evident. The women and children, however, can not be content with mere satisfaction at what has been accomplished. There are still greater needs to be met. Those who have given such loyal and faithful devotion to the work must conâ€" tinue, and even extend their help if that is posâ€" sible. Above all, new workers must rally to the effort and add their best to the good work of the others. As for the men, they should be sure not to miss a study of the windows. It will give them a better conception of what the Red Cross means, not only to the soldiers and sailors and airmen on the battle lines, and to refugees and bomb vicâ€" tims, but also it will give true indication that the women are doing their part at selfâ€"sacrificing cost and effort. Someone miay say that it is remarkable that there should be in Canada so many expert workâ€" ers as to make this display possible, especially when it is remembered that the displays are only samples of hundreds of articles turned out month by month. Of course, Timmins did not have all these skilled and trained workers at the start. There were a comparatively few experts at the beginning, but the most of the workers have beâ€" come unusually skilled and effective at the work since the need became known. There was a small group to help the willing workers, and the women of Timmins, with this aid, and with the instrucâ€" tions and particulars furnished by the headquartâ€" ers of the Red Cross have proceeded to fill the need in a way that should make every patriotic citizen proud and pleased. Men, women and children alike should study the Red Cross windows here. The children are included, because many youngsters have proved very valuable assistants in the work. The women month the Red Cross shipmert from Timmins to headquarters in Toronto included no less than 694 articles. It is worth giving a thought to the work an@ the spirit that has made such shipments possible from month to month. _ Many who have looked at the window displays have been impressed at once by the enormous amount Oof labour suggested by the Red Cross work. It is easy enough to understand that even the apparently simpler articles, such as mitts, socks and scarves, represent a considerable amount of skilful and patient work. Then there are the pyjamas, the pneumonia jackets, the bed jackets, the sweaters, and above all, the complete outfits designed for refugees and the victims of air raids. These latter goods, perfect in every detail, like all the other goods turned out by the Red Cross, represent work that would be beydnd the capacity of any comparatively small group that was not inspired by something deeper than the ordinary calls for work. Still another impression that will be made by the displays is that the talk about the strict and careful inspection made of all Red Cross goods has a strong basis in actual fact and practice. All goods for the Red Cross are given the closest inâ€" spection before passed for shipment. In a word, it is not too much to say that the requirement in each case is practical perfection. Prof. Francis R. Preveden, Ph.D., Graduate Professor of. Classics in Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, Pa., who left here yesterday after a few days‘ visit to Croatian friends at Schumacher, has been described by The Advance, with sinâ€" cerity and truth, as a distinguished visitor. It should be added that he might well be termed also as a valuable visitor. The effect of his visit here, of his addresses in public and over the radio, and his personal contacts, promises to have noteâ€" worthy and permanent benefit not only for the Croatian people but for all others in the comâ€" munity. The chief theme of all his public and private utterances was that his fellow countrymen should bend every effort to become the best posâ€" sible citizens of their adopted country. He emâ€" phasized the idea that it is well enough to be prosperous and progressive but that the things of the spirit should be placed first and foremost, even from the selfish standpoint of happiness and contentment. Education, â€"culture, the better things of lifeâ€"these were the ambitions he urged upon his fellows. He referred to the traditions the music, the art, the literature of Croatia and other lands across the sea. He did not suggest that these should be forgotten, but rather that the great gifts of the older lands should be brought to the new. The love of freedom, the deâ€" sire for independence, the hope for culture and the faith for higher things that was in their blood should be their gift to the new land that offered them so much. The message of Dr. Preveden is a message only for the Croatian people. It is a message fox" all New Canadians. It is a message, too, for Eng-f lish and Scottish and Irish and French. It is a! message that The Advance has tried on many an occasion to present. Here in Canada is a land of opportunity for the best there is in life. Here there is freedom and chance for the richest and noblest of living. There is room for all, if all% come bearing giftsâ€"not isms and alien ideasâ€"| not hatreds and old world quarrelsâ€"but the gifts‘ of quaint customs, of charming tradition, of his-! tory, of art, of literature, of music, of dancing, of! hope and faith and ambition and ideals There are gifts that all may bringâ€"gifts beyond priceâ€" gifts that will.help to make Canada and the Emâ€" pire a place where life is more interesting, richer,!

No Qualter Ruthless warfare is the only warfar; the Germans understand. The Allies have to be even more ruthless than the Nazis. That point is stressed by Majorâ€"General Duch of the (Polish Legion, who has come to Windsor in connection with theâ€" recruiting of a Polish, Legion. Having experienced the weight‘of German warfare in Poland, General Duch speaks from experience. The whole history of the Nazi maâ€" chine has been one of ruthlessness. Having set their course on the conquest of the world, Hitler and his gangsters are not stopping at anything. Noâ€" thing is too horrible, nothing too terâ€" rible for them to try. They wage war against women and children, against the aged and infirm, against everyone. The German plan is to batter down the morale of a country by the weapon of fear. They burn towns and villages, they execute hundreds of persons, they destroy buildings and ravage homes. It is all part of the ruthless programme to conquer.

Premier Mackenzie King is making a habit of pretending that he fears something may be done to cause disunity in Canada. The Premier must be sadly out of touch with Canada and public opinion if he thinks there is any unity today. As a matter of fact he himself made a special point of insisting that the country should be split in twain. He refused all suggestions for unity during the war and instead was determined that there should be two decided divisions in the countryâ€" the ins and the outsâ€"his party and the others. He split the country into his party and the rest of the Dominion, and some of his followers split the Premier‘s own personal party into some furâ€" ther divisions. If Premier King were sincere in his talk about the need for unity, he would make his government of a part of a part of a party into a national government that would line up a fully united Canada to hurry the winning of the war.
