In the last great war of twentyâ€"fAive years ago there were meetings, parades, addresses, music, fanfare.. People were urged in earnest fashionâ€"â€" sometimes in noisy wayâ€"to join the Canadian active forces. In the present war the plan seems to be to conduct all recruiting in as quiet and secret a way as possible. Appeals to sentiment have been avoided, yet the whole question is one of sentiment. Bands and paurades apparently have been neglected, yet these things undoubtedly do stir attention and attract interest. All in all, reâ€" cruiting has confined itself in Canada in the preâ€" sent struggle to a degree of dignity and aloofness that does not result in any noticeable rush of men to the colours. Every day there are complaints from government quarters to the effect that reâ€" cruiting is not proceeding with the degree of sucâ€" cess that is desired. Thoughtful people, however, are tempted to believe that the recruiting has been more successful than the methods followed would lead people to expect. There was a tenâ€" dency on the part of the powersâ€"thatâ€"be to act as if the playing of a band would be an insult to digâ€" nity and any noise about recruiting an offence to democracy. In more recent times, there has been a little modification of the old plan. In Sudbury, for instance, it is said that recruiting was attempt ed in a rather boisterous fashion.. The recruiting officers acted somewhat after the manner of some pickets and no one was allowed to enter places or even walk the streets without being earnestly urged to join the forces. No doubt, the argument was that the procedure that brought close to 600,â€" 000 men to the colours in the last war might have a similar effect in this struggle. It did produce results for a time, then complaints began to be heard. It was reported that men were being badâ€" gered and bulldozed in an effort to force them into the army. Eventually, the situation provoked the Canadian Legion to protest, and different methods were adopted. The result, however is not encouraging. The less ostentatious methods are not getting the desired results. When the more clamourous plans were in force, the average numâ€" ber of recruits was ten each day. Now only three a day constitutes a fair average. This appears to suggest that more noise and demonstration prove the more effective. Those who prize dignity and decorum about all else, may deplore the necessity for noisy methods, but the more thoughtful will feel that the need is so vital that any legal methods are justified. If the enemy triumphs, this counâ€" ry will lose a lot more than mere dignity. When ‘money was to be raised for war loans or other purposes, the authorities have not hesitated to resort to the most blatant arrangements. Few can convince themselves that money is more imporâ€" tant than men. Subscription Rates: Canadaâ€"$2.00 Per Year. United Statesâ€"$%3.00 Per Year Timmins, Ont., Thursday, Sept. 25th, 1941 There are those who take a middle view on this question of recruiting. They point out that the people of Canada have responded nobly to every call, and they argue that as the summons is to all and sundry, the form of appeal must be a broad one to embrace all classes and conditions. If fuss, feathers and fanfare are necessary, then bring them on, they argue. Others take what may be called a modern view. They would drop all the former hushâ€"hush style of appeal, and instead adopt a dignified but lively form of recruiting. One man who recently watched groups of airmen in their smart drills at Eglinton, Toronto, suggests that if companies of the air force were to make public parades and drills, recruiting would not lag for long. At the very least it would appear that the authorities might well try some of the stirring methods they used to raise money, and see if this would not dbring men to the colours. TIMMINXS, ONTARIO Memburs Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association TWO PHONESâ€"26 and 2020 Published Every Thursday by GEO. LAKE, Owner and Publisher WW' "'M'WW "An Old Fan" writes to The Advance asking what is wrong with the Porcupine population in re-i gard to expressing their feelings on the occasion of visits here of distinguished personages and popular people. "Is is awe, ignorance, or sheer bashfulness that holds the populace mute when outstanding guests are here " the writer asks. Reference is made to a visit here some years ago of Dr. Herbert Bruce, then Lieutenantâ€"Governor of Ontario, He was accompanied here by his charmâ€" ing wife.. Both held high place in popular esâ€" teem, yet the crowds gathered to greet then simâ€" play "stared and stared." Another case cited is that of the recent visit of the Duke of Kent to the Porcupine. At Porquis Junction the crowds cheerâ€" ed lustily before His Royal Highness stepped from his plane, but as he walked along the field to greet the people, silence reigned, the letter says. Menâ€" tion is also made of Premier Winston Churchill appearing on the screen at local theatre, and despite the fact that the British premier is the most popular man in the Empire at the moment, "a deadly silence settled on the multitude present." _ "An Old Fan" asks The Advance to "write someâ€" thing that will instil into the Timmins folk a Cbhe YVarrupine Advanee WANTS PEOPLE MORE CHEERâ€"FUL ABOUT RECRUITING welcoming spirit, so that people coming to visit here may realize that all are glad that they have come." It is hardily the fact to suggest that Timâ€" migs people have not the welcoming spirit. The people here are hospitable, kindly, generous and sincere.. It may be the case that they are not demonstrative. The sincerity of their welcome can scarcely be questioned. Perhaps, a little more expression of their feelings might not be out of place on some occasions. There is a hint in the letter of "An Old Fan" as to how to bring the peoâ€" ple to give more patent expression to their feelâ€" ings.. The silence that greeted the appearance of the British premier on the screen at a local theatre was broken when "An Old Fan" started to clap and cheer. "Lo," writes "An Old Fan," "on all sides came cheering and clapping." That sugâ€" gests that all the people need is a leader on such occasions. In the United States there is a tenâ€" dency to organize the cheering and clapping. There are regular professionals to lead the cheers. The result is not always a complete success. The cheering often lacks sincerity and spontaneity. On future occasions it might be well if someone made it his or her bounden duty to lead the cheerâ€" ing at the right time and in the right way. Any effort to organize cheering of celebrities is not likely to deceive visitors of importance, but the spontaneous expression of feelings of patriotism or pride or popularity is sure to give the distinâ€" guished visitor a real thrill, This week Soviet Russia appears to have had less than its customary good fortune in holding back the hordes of German gangsters. This does not mean that Russia or any of her allies need desâ€" pair. Already Russia has done more to help win the war than any other group of forces in the conâ€" flict has any right to expect. It may be true that Germany has made important advances, that valuable industrial centres in Russia have felt the fury of the Nazi might, that the great cities of Russia appear to be threatened, that there is danâ€" ger of large forces of the Soviet being trapped by the invaders. All that is based largely on claims made by the Germans. The Soviet story is a difâ€" ferent one.. It tells of counterâ€"attacks that inâ€" flicted immense losses on the Nazi forces; it tells of_territory laid waste and denuded of all things of value; it tells of literally millions of Nazi casuâ€" alties; of the determination of the Russians to contest every inch and make the Germans pay in "blood, sweat and tears" for each advance. Russia has shown the will to win, the grim deâ€" termination to fight to the bitter end. One trouâ€" ble is that some people have been inclined to sit back and let Russia win the war for the Allies. As The Advance has suggested before, Britain must win its own war. Any help from Russia should be considered as incidental only. Commenting on the report that Hon. Mr. Mcâ€" Larty, Minister of Labour for the Dominion, planned to take a two weeks‘ holiday while war industries are being held up by strikes, a letter writer in The Toronto Telegram says he hopes that Hon. Mr. McLarty catches some lovely fish. Eviâ€" dently with things the way they have been there are immense shoals of "fish" in this country. The rationing of gasoline has been patiently accepted by the people of Canada.. Still The Adâ€" vance would not advise the government to expect the rationing of beer, for example, to be accepted with equal equanimity. On the desk a government publication was lying as such publications so often lie on desks and elseâ€" where. This one was headed in large letters "Bulâ€" letin No. 28." Then someone dropped a book on the circular, so that all the letters in Bulletin but the first four were hidden. It might be at that. Over a picture of Dorothy Lamour without her famous sarong (but with other raiment in its place), a United States newspaper places the capâ€" tion, "What is Sarong with this picture?" Still stands the motto of the King:â€" "Put into your task whatever it may be all the courage and purpose of which you are capable. Keep your hearts proud and your resolve unshakâ€" en. Let us go forward to that task as one man, a smile on our lips and our heads held high, and with God‘s help we shall not fail." "Kanadiysky Farmer," a Ukrainian weekly pubâ€" lished at Winnipeg, recently printed a statement that might well be pondered by all. "Notwithâ€" standing his continuous victories," says the Ukraiâ€" nian journal, "Hitler will finally lose the war beâ€" cause there is not a single European nation (not even excluding the Italians) that would have friendly feelings toward him. No power will be able to prevent these nations from revolting at a proper time. And that time is approaching." Courage is perhaps the greatest factor in assurâ€" ing the popularity and fame of any man. The average man admires courage when he sees it. That is the reason Premier Mitchell Hepburn of Ontario, enjoys a continued recurrence of admiraâ€" tion from the average man and woman. Whatâ€" ever else fiiay be said about Premier Hepburn, it never can be denied that the present premier of Ontario never hesitates to express his opinion and gladly face the consequences no matter what they may be. § GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER | RUSSIA CARRIES ON THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO Timmins Man Caught With Complete Refinery in Basement Draws Term Ontario â€" Provincial Police "Gold Squad," who said that he had locat2d the "plant‘" in the basement of Rober‘‘s heome during a raid that he and his associate on the Gold Squad, Conâ€" stable H.

Consjable Braney addâ€" ed thait it was the biggest catch that the "Gold Squad" had yet uncovered in the district. It was complete, even to the electric motor used to run it. In the opinion of the constables and Mr. Mason, the assayer, the plant had been in operaiion for approximately a year or nine months.
