ts t e r es t dAAA t â€"P dn l se lt stt P eÂ¥ Recently the sugzestion was made by The Windâ€" sor Daily Star that Canada should not be content with the summer tourist trade but should also make a bid for people who wish a delightful winter holiday. The North Bay Nugget immediately accepted the suggestion of the Windsor newsâ€" paper, and urged the North to make a special bid here and now for winter tourist trade. There is much that may be said to support the proposal. Canada, and particularly the North, has much to offer the tourist in the winter. First, might be placed the magnificent scenery. Sweden, Switzerâ€" land, and other lands that bid for winter tourists have nothing finer to offer in the way of landscape and other national beauty... The bracing air is also an attraction that should not be overlooked. On top of these two points there is also the host of healthful and fascinating recreations to be found, in ideal measure in this Northâ€"Skiâ€"ing skating, snowâ€"shoeing. sleighing, hockey and so on. Some years ago there was a hardy prospector in this part of the North who advocated swimming as a winter sport. Unlike some governments, he set the example. Every morning while he was in the bush he had his morning swim, or at least a bath, no matter how low the temperature might be. He always said that he made a special point of camping near a stream, so that his bath would be ready for him in the morning. Usually he had to break the ice with his trusty axe, but he thought that but little labour in the cause of cleanâ€" liness and the interests of personal enjoyment. He was his own proof of the merit of his prescripâ€" tion. As a man of over fifty he had a complexion that no costly cosmetics could provide.. He was healthy, happy, wholesome, in mind, body and estate. In this matter of recommending the North as a winter resort The Advance is far in advance of Windsor and North Bay newspapers. For years, The Advance has been urging the people of the South to come North for their own convenience. and comfort, as well as for their health and hapâ€" piness. The Advance was urging winter living in the North years before tourist money from the United States was so urgently needed in this land. In recent years there has been general regret at the sufferings of the people in the South in winter time. For several years past traffic has been tied up and general convenience upset in the South through snow storms. It is years since even the trains in the North have been more inclined to be late in the winter than in the summer. It may be admitted that some winters there is more or less snow in this country, but the people here know how to handle it.. Buses run around the town and to mines miles away, and never miss any of their schedule. Everyhing goes along here in winter without interruption or delay. If there is six feet of snow, it is simply ploughed to its place. In the South as many inches of the white stuff paralyzes traffic and ties up all the works. Nobody here ever suffers from the cold, except when they go to Toronto.. Winter here is a delight. Every blisâ€" tering hot day people long for the good old winter time in the North with all its joys and comforts. Anyone who wouldn‘t enjoy winter in the North wouldn‘t like it in a much hotter climate. The people of the South would be looking to theirown comfort and pleasure to plan to spend at least a part of their winters in this North. The roads are much better in the winter than in the summer. There is no dust, no mud, and no blockades. As for the climate, it is varied in a big way, to suit all tastes. Perhaps, the only fault that may be found with the North is the tendency some years for the late fall to start too early in the summer.

Timmins may well be proud of its many excelâ€" lent gardens and lawns and the flowers and hedges that distinguish them. They add much to the beauty of the town, and so make life the miore worth living. At the present time, when so much of the world seems to be given over to ugliness and brutality and destruction, there is special credit due to those fine citizens who develop flowers and lawns and hedges and add to the beauty and charm that are so necessary to real living. On this acâ€" count there is hesitation in suggesting that there is room for improvement in any way in the culâ€" tivated beauty around town. It is a fact, however, that some of the hedges constitute a public danâ€" ger, especially those on corner lots. On certain of the avenues of the town there are corner lots that obscure the view of travelling cars, with the result that there is more than danger of accidents to traffic. Already this year there have been a number of minor accidents and a couple or more of more serious ones, that might be blamed on the lack of visibility through the obstruction of corner nedges. â€" It is true that in same of the cases it was reckless speed, rather than obscured vision that was really responsible for the danger, but it is equally â€" true ‘that some of the accidents were really due to the fact that corner hedges made it PAGE POUR Timmins, Ont., Thursday, Sept. 11th, 1941 Che Horrupine Aduvance COME NORTH FOR WINTER impossible to see traffic on the crossing streets. People who have the community spirit that prompts the growing of hedges to help beautify homes and town are not likely to maintain any conditionthat creates danger to the public: It is almost a foregone conclusion that as soon as the owners of corner hedges realize that they are a danger, the hedges will come down. Fortunately there is no need to destroy or even to injure the hedges. All that is necessary is to trim them down This present war is remarkable for the strange and unexpected things that happen from day to day. Here is The Advance, for example, defend-i ing Hon. Wm. Lyon Macktnzie King! The Globe and Mail attacks the premier‘in a mixture of sorâ€" row and anger because in his recent address ing the Guildhall at London, England, he did not even | mention the name of Russia.. The Globe and Mail | appears to think that just because Russia is showâ€" ing notable success at the moment in slaughterâ€" ing Nazis, British people should forget and forgive all the past sins of the Soviet, and shower that naâ€"| tion with praise and prayer.. To The Advance it! seems that Preinier King showed rare good judgâ€"' ment in saying nothing about Russia. He said| enough about a lot of other things, and there is little that might be said about Russia that might not prove better left unsaid for the memories that it would recall. That the Russian resistance and the unquestionable courage and Ektermination shown by the people of the Soviet are of immense value to the cause of freedom is apparent to all.| That would have been but one more platitude to add to a speech. Even to go no further than that would be to beg the retort that Russia is not fightâ€" ing for the cause of the democracies but simply because she was attacked by a treacherous foe.| Russia had its opportunities to line itself with decency and the right, but preferred to make a deal with the despoiler of the smaller nations.. Russia stood back and saw nation after nation fall i before the aggressor, and to judge by the facts had not even sympathy for those brutally and unfairly l attacked. Certainly Hon. Mr. King would have been open to the severest censure had he said some of the things The Globe and Mails suggests he1 should have said. For instance, The Globe and! Mail says:â€"‘"In reality no nation has stood up‘ against a Nazi assault so manfully and sucessfully as Russia, and only Britain is to be mentioned in the same breath with her in this connection." That is not the truth. Poland and Greece are worthy to be mentioned in the same breath with Britain or any other gallant nation. And speakâ€" ing about Poland, surely that is sufficent reason why the less said about Russia the better. The bruâ€" tal treachery of Russia in regard to Poland was the reason why that gallant little nation was not more "successful" in the standing up against the Nazi asâ€" sault. To suggest that the success of Russia in withstanding the Nazi is proof of any special virâ€" tue is to tempt the logic that the Germans must have high qualities because of the success that has attended their ruthless and deliberate aggresâ€" sion. Indeed, thoughtful people noting the imâ€" mense army and air force used by the Soviet and the tremendous amount of munitions of war and all the evidences of preparedness on the part of Russia will be tempted to give thanks that the Nazi attack on Russia has occurred.. Talking about Russia simply brings up points like this. Denying all imperalistic designs, preaching peace and antiâ€"militarism, the record shows that Russia has equalled Germany in its preparation for conâ€" flict and in addition so long as it was permitted to do so followed the same lines of aggression as did the Nazis. That is written in the blood of the peoâ€" ple of Poland, Finland, Esthonia, Latvia and Lithâ€" uania. More than that, Russia in munitions and supplies assisted Gernany through much of the warâ€"as long as it was allowed to do so.. These are the things that are inevitable to come to mind if there is much talk about Russia. The wise course accordingly seems to be to say as little as possible about Russia, and that is exactly what Premier King did. It should be accounted to him for wisâ€" dom and honesty. $ to a height not more than around four feet. Exâ€" perts in horticulture assert that such trimming would benefit the hedges and improve their apâ€" pearance. The plan would certainly reduce the danger of accidents, and so is worthy of adoption from all viewpoints. s B PA AA AA â€"AL LA LAAA CAAA LAAA AL CA PPA P PP AP 4 | The situation seems to be that Russia‘s part in the war is of great value to the cause of the Allies. Russia should have every possible support and asâ€" sistance, because that is very vital help in the struggle against Nazism. Hon Mr. King has shown in practical way that he will do what he can for Russia to this extent.. That is all that should be asked. To demand more is to bring forward all these other facts that are better left unsaid for the moment. Russia lined itself in principle and practice with the aggressor nations. It was the treachery of the other gangsters, not virtue in Rusâ€" sia, that forced the Soviet on the side of humanâ€" ity. There is nothing to be gained by forcing this to the front at the moment, but to require Hon. Mr. King or other public men to talk about Russia is to beg such thoughts and censures as those that Russia has brought upon herself.

Timmins Lions to Hold Ladies‘ Night Meeting on Monday How many men have you noticed this summer wearing straw hats? Special Meeting in Observaâ€" tion of Reconsecration Week in Empire Hotel. The Timmins Lions Club will observe Recconsecration Week by holding a speâ€" cial meeting in the Empire Hotel next Monday evening it was decided at this week‘s meceting. All service clubs have been asked by Ottawa to hold special and the Timimins Lions Club decided to hold a Ladies‘ Night meetâ€" ing. A special speaker will be chosen for the meeting. A man from Timmins who was in Toronto last week tried to get in touch with the Navy with the idea of joining that branch of the service He found, however, that the recruiting for the Navy was suspended for the day because it was a holiâ€" day. Curiosity set the gentleman making enquirâ€" President Stan Fowler was in the chair for this wsek‘s meeting that heard a fine talk by Mr. Lyman Murâ€" ray, Timmins High and Vocational School principal. Mr. Murray was one of the guests at the meeting and gave the club a fine talk on Syria. Art Shaw, Timmins town clerk, was also a guest at the meeting. Mr. Murray‘s address on Syria and he near East was one of the most interesting that the club members have heard for some time. The talk was illustrated by a map that showed the boundaries of European countries in 1215. He traced the path of the war lords and conquerors from 3000 BXC. to the present day showing that â€" each and every one of them had to control Syvria. Even today the British and Free French had to take control of the country from the Vichy Government, the speaker said. Mr. Murray predictâ€" ed that after the war was over the ccuntry would be given back to the Arabs with only enough supervision to keep the Arabs from fighting among themselves. The speaker was introduced by Lion Nap Napper and he was thanked by Lion Wendall Brewer. Lion Gil Chenier reported on the dance that the Lions Club will hold on Friday, September 26 h. . The dance will be held in the Riverside Pavilion and it is expected to be a big success. Tickets are in demand and are going fast. Try The Advance Want Advertisements Manager Timmins Branch H. C.
