This is Education Weekâ€"a week set apart to rouse greater interest in education and greater attention to the vital role that education plays in democracy, in freedom and in the general happiâ€" ness and progress. During this week it is hoped that parents and other will consider the necessity and the value of education and resolve to give their fullest coâ€"operation and support, so that eduâ€" cation may be the great power for good that it is designed to be. Education might well be described as training to develop the best in all for the benefit and comfort O6f all.. A former principal of Timmins High and Technical School struck the heart of the matter when he described education as a process of trainâ€" ing to fit the pupil to live happily with his neighâ€" bours. It impliés much more than the acquisition of knowledge. It means the development of the character and the ability of the individual so that each person gets the most and the best out of life. Education is the cornerstone of democracy, the foundation of freedom,, the bulwark of progress. Lord Brougham is quoted as saying:â€""Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave." In any year Education Week has an importance that it is impossible to overestimate. In these days of war its essential value should be apparent to all. â€" During this weekâ€"Education weekâ€"it is but ‘ right and proper that there should be general pubâ€" lic appreciation of the practical value of true eduâ€" g cation. The best formâ€"the most practical formâ€" : the most desirable formâ€" that this appreciationl may take is the resolution to give increasing attenâ€"| tion and heart interest to all branches of educaâ€"| tion. This is the duty of Education Week, and the| moral of this week is that in the public heart Eduâ€" cation Week should be loyally observed every week in every year. Published Every Thursday by GEO. LAKE, Ounere and Publimsner Subscription Rates: Canadaâ€"$200 Per Year. United Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year. Canada has been fortuunate in the teachers in its schools. The great majority of teachers have shown an unselfish devotion to their task that makes the general indifference and thoughtlessâ€" ness the more glaring. This part of the North has won a name for its deep interest in education. Milâ€" lions have been spent for schools and equipment. Money has been freely spent to secure the most capable instructors and directors. School trustees have given talent and effort of outstanding charâ€" acter to the furtherance of the cause of education. The duty of the people in general however, is not fully done by simply meeting the bill of costs withâ€" out protest or complaint. There is more than that necessary. There is the need for such a general interest in the subject of education that it will be given its proper place in the public mind as one of the most vital elements in the life of the comâ€" munity and the nation. It is not too much to say that the magnificent response of the people of Canada to the present call to preserve freedom and progress and sanity and decency in the world has been due to the eduâ€" cation of the past. To education is due the fact that all are able to understand and appreciate the danger facing the world toâ€"day. To education must go much of the honour for the fact that c!uty being plain there has been so notable a response to every call. The majority of teachers have held high the banner of ideal educationâ€"education that might well be described as an inspiration to seek to build a better world. TWO PHONESâ€"26 and 2020 TEMMIN®S, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; o-h.flo- Quebes Newspaper Association In : this igsue of The Advance will be found sevâ€" eral articles seeking to rouse greater general inâ€" terest is education. One of these articles tells of the great achievements by the pupils of the schools of Timmins. These achievements might well be defined as the "fruits of education." They are worthy of thoughtful consideration and pride. They show the response of youth to the call of the Empire and of humanity. Surely it is worthy of note that sixty per cent. of all the war savings stamps sold in Tintmins were sold in the schools of Timiminsâ€"that in the last two years the pupiis have bought from earnings and savings and from personal sacrifices a total of $10,000.00 worth of war savings stamps. The work of the Junior Red Cross in the schools also deserves some mention. The help of the schools to the Legion, the Bomb Victims‘ Fund, the Navy League, the Prisoners of War, should not be overlooked. The assistance of the schools, to the Third Victory Loan is so recent as to be fresh in public memory. Sixty tons of salâ€" vage collected by the children of the schools in Timmins is another item that none should overâ€" look. The efforts and the interest of the school children in everything pertaining to the cause of the day have been such as to emphasize the fact that education inspires an unselfish and earnest effort for the right and for world safety and betâ€" terment, Many believe, and with much show of reason, that the children have shown noble exâ€" ample to their elders in the matter of war effort. Admitting this is to place laurels on the throne of education.

No other communicaâ€" o omm n : on i c n o uns cum o in ons on m on on omm When the recent legislation was proposed that miumnicipal elections should be held every two years instead of annually, The Advance objected on the ground that the Ontario Legislature had no right to defraud the peoyle of any community of their franchise. To the argument that elections were not desirable or practical in times of war, the reply was made that the province should not usurp the duties of municipalities in such matters. It was pointed out that if a municipal council were unsatâ€" isfactory in the eyes of the people concerned the municipality should not be asked to suffer a second year without the right to pass its opinion by the route of the ballot box. It was also noted that in case a council pleased the people, the ratepayers had their own method of avoiding the noise and route of the ballot box. It was also noted that in case a council pleased the people, the ratepayers had their own method of avoiding the noise and division of an election. It was admitted that elecâ€" tions tend to breed disunion and diversion from the main issue of toâ€"dayâ€"the war effort. One year does not appear ia long enough term for a comâ€" petent and satisfactory municipal council. Emâ€" phasis was given to the fact that the people of the municipality were the parties concerned, and they, rather than some distant authorities should be the judge. The ratepayers always had the power to express this appreciation of good services by using the medium of acclamation. It was contended by The Advance that it might safely be left in the hands of the ratepayers to decide the question of whether or not a council should have a second term. No one can honestly question the fact that it is desirable to avoid as far as practical all side issues during a time of war. The contest in progress is of such a nature that the fewer other divisions the better. The argument of The Advance was that the people could safely be trusted to voluntarily folâ€" low the right plan, without the necessity of undeâ€" sirable compulsion. Now, that the secondâ€"year term has expired it appears to The Advance that the people of Timmins have the opportunity of proving that the ratepayers are quite conpetent and willing to handle questions like this in their own way. It would seem that the coming municiâ€" pal elections would give an ideal chance to prove that the ratepayers wthout any unnecessary regiâ€" mentation may be depended upon to avoid any unnecessary contests. The present mayor and council of Timmins have given excellent service to the community.. The affairs of the town have reâ€" ceived very capable and earnest attention during the past two years. The finances of the town are in excellent condition. There has been harmony and progress. The present members of the counâ€" cil board would probably be the first to admit that some mistakes may have been made, but few inâ€" deed could honestly claim that there have been any serious errors or many of them. The adminâ€" stration of the town has been competent, economâ€" ical and honest in every particular. For the pubâ€" licâ€"spirited and selfâ€"sacrificing service of the preâ€" sent mayor and council an election by acclamaâ€" tion would be a merited reward. The Advance sugâ€" gests that to reâ€"elect Mayor Brunette and Counâ€" cillors Ellen Terry, William Roberts, Wm. McDerâ€" mott, K. A. Eyre, J. W. Spooner and J. P. Bartieâ€" man would be good business as well as a measure of gratitude for faithful and valuable service. There is another good reason for an election by acclamation this yearâ€"a patriotic reason. Most people have honestly adopted the Victory Loan sloâ€" ganâ€""Nothing Else Matters but Victory!" For the past two years the people of the town have all been working together harmoniously and cheerâ€" fully in the hundred and one patriotic efforts. They have not the time nor the inclination for an unnecessary election. It is difficult to see how it can be hoped to get a better mayor and council. It would be easy to get much worse. In addition, a municipal election at this time would at the best cause distraction from other causes.. At the worst it would rouse bitterness and disunion. It would be regrettable, indeed, if time and effort were taken from the important war efforts and progress to waste on a municipal contest. There is no issue of an‘y kind at the moment worthy of an election contest. The people in general have no desire for an election. It is no time for personal ambitions or individual honours to be considered. The public convenience and the public good are the only conâ€" siderations that should be emphasized. Everyone is too busy at the main purposeâ€"the various branches of the war effortâ€"to take time off for side issues. The Advance has fought for the right to hold elections when the people desire them. There is the legai right this year to hold an elecâ€" tion. It would be a guard and support to that unâ€" doubted right for all to work for an election this year 'by acclamation.

The banner line in The Advance last weekl "Rommel‘s Forces in Disordered Retreat," was but the forerunner for a series of enemy reverses of the most serious order,. One of the amusing feaâ€" tures of this phase of the battle has been the fact that the Germans have shown the Italians how to run. That the Nazis deserted their Italian allies was only to be expected. That they should show such unrivalled speed in panic flight has not added to their reputation. It will not tend to increase the morale of the people of Germany. While the news this week is very encouraging, it would be a mistake to lessen effort in the winning of the war. The Allies likely still have a long hard road to travel before Victory will be theirs,, but the worst part of the journey has been made, and travelling along at the present pace with courage and deterâ€" mination it will not be long before the goal will be in sight. The United States forces in recent days have show themselves as particularly effective, well equipped and well led. British newspapers have spoken in generous words of praise of their notable work as they have also done of the gallanâ€" try of South African, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian and other effort. Little has been said of the work of the people of Great Britain. It would, however, be a mistake to overlook this. It | will be part of toâ€"morrow‘s history. Attitude af Timmins Mispresented in Reports of Remarks by Reeve of Teck Timmins Ready to Coâ€"operâ€" ate to the Fullest Extent With Other _ Northern Municipalities. At last week‘s regular meeting of the Timmins town council passing referâ€" ence was made to the reports of stateâ€" ments said to be made by Reeve Carâ€" ter, of Kirkland Lake, these statements suggesting that Timmins was not ready to. coâ€"operate with other Northern Municipalities in reference to presentâ€" ing the case at Ottawa for the gold mining towns. A letter from Larder Lake read at the same council meeting showed that Larder Lake at least did not have the same idea. The fact of course, is that Timmins is always ready to give the fullest coâ€"operation on any and every occasion where the general interests of the North are concerned It is true that Timmins did not favour the expenditure of a large sum of money at this time to have a Toronto lawyer prepare a brief for the Northern towns. The attitude of the Timmins council on that question was that facts speak for themselves and that the heads of the muunicipalities are quite competent to prepare all the necessary briefs reâ€" At last Wednesday‘s council meeting, quired. the question was mentioned and the mayor said that the matter of the misâ€" representation was being dealt with by Town of Timmins Timmins, Ont., November 5th, 1942 R. 3. Carter, Esq., Reeve, Township of Teck Kirkland Lake, Ont. â€" Dear Sir:> It has come to ;he attepâ€" tion of the members of the Timmins Council that you made certain stateâ€" ments at a special meeting of the Teck Council last week regarding the attiâ€" tude of the Timmins Council towards the proposed submission of a brief to the Dominion Government on the situâ€" ation of the goldâ€"mining municipaliâ€" ties. If the press reports are accurate "Complacent attitude." . The text of the resolution passed by the Timmins Council at a spetcial meeting, following the Association meeting at South Porâ€" cupine, is set out herewith, and constiâ€" tutes the only official pronouncement of the Timmins Council. Following is the text of the resolution : "WHEREAS it is evident that conâ€" ditions vary in different sections of the goldâ€"mining area of Northern Onâ€" tario;: and â€"and they have not apparently, been contradicted by youâ€"the position of the Timmins Council has been entirely misrepresented, as your quoted remarks are very decidedly misleading and diâ€" rectly contrary to the facts. There 13 no basis for the reported statement that "Timmins had declined to join in the protest" against the curtailment of gold mining. It is also untrue that "Timmins had not seen fit to join with the other members of the Northern Mining Municipalities in the preparaâ€" tion of the brief." It is inaccurate, too, to state that Timmins had assumed a a letter to the sent to Reeve Carter. This letter was received too late for publication in last week‘s Advance, but is given herewith and explains fully the facts in the case: | GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER| "WHEREAS the problem of relief for the situation in the Timmins area has been in the capable hands of the Timmins Industrial Survey Commitâ€" tee for some time, and the Committee is preparing a comprehensive brief on the subject; "NOW THEREFORE BE IT REâ€" SOLVED that the proposal of the Asâ€" sociation of Mining Municipalitieh to present a brief to the Dominion Govâ€" ernment be deferred until the report of the Committee be received; and "That this Council recommend to the Association that no special counâ€" sel be retained in the preparation or presentation of such brief." In transmitting this resolution to the "Still stands the motto of the King: "Put into your task whatever it may be, all the ONTAPTIO The Timmins Industrial Survey Comâ€" mittee was organized for the specific purpose of studying the present situaâ€" tion, and the members of the Commitâ€" tee have voluntarily contributed a great deal of time and effort to secure the necessary information for the preparaâ€" tion of a brief to be inconporated in the general brief to be submitted to Ottawa. The Council feel that the work of this Committee will be of great value to the common cause, and should most cerâ€" tainly be included in any representaâ€" tions made to the Government. In the matter of special counsel, Timâ€" mins made a recommendation to the Association, based on the belief that the heads of the municipalities are comâ€" petent to prepare and present a brief. tion has been sent out by the Town of Timmins to the Association or any member municipality. It is very evident that your remarks to the Teck Council were based on a complete misapprehension of the facts, and could only serve to weaken our muâ€" tual cause by indicating that disunity existed among the members of the Asâ€" sociation of Mining Municipalities of Town of Timmins is fully aware of the serious situation that confronts the Northern Ontario. The Couuncil of the the mining municipalities, and will coâ€" operate in the efforts that are being made to induce government authority to alleviate the difficulties that face all of us, just as it has always done in the past when other questions have required concerted action.

One of the most dramatic escapes from France, was told in a letter which reached the Fighting French Informaâ€" tion service in Ottawa, from Brazzaâ€" ville, capital of Free French Aijrica. "For 36 hours‘", he writes, "the Nazis left me sitting in a chair, with my hands tied behind my back. Once in a while, they gave me a Gry biscuit.

While waiting the day of execution, he thought of one plan after another. Then one day he had the luck to fall in with a French woodcut‘er who also wanted to join the forces of General de Gaulle. They arranged a plan of esâ€" cape, as the woodcutter piled his loads of wood outside the prison window. The next morning, as the German guards were having their breakfast, the woodcutter auietly released the prisoner and they both took refuge in the home of a friend. As soon as their escape was discoverâ€" ed, the alarm was sounded throughout Brest, and the surrounding countryside, Ssentries were posted everywhere, while The Dominion Bureau of Statistics has found that the cost of living index number for October 1, 1942, is 117.8 (adjusted index 116.9) as compared with the cost of living index number for July 2, 1942, of 117.9 (adjusted index 117). The Wartime Wages Control Order, P. C. 5963, provides in Sectiom 48 (iv): "the amount of the bonus shall not be changed uniess the cost of living index number has changed one whole point or more since the last general order of the Board requiring an increase or decrease in the amount thereof." The index number not having changed by one whole point or more since July 2, 1942, pursuant to the provisions of P. C. 5963 as stated, the National War Labour Board orders that the terms of its General Order dated August 4, 1942, shall continue to apply for the period November 15, 1942, to February 15, 1943, subject to the right of employers or employees to apply to a War Labour Board for authorization of payment of such an amount of cost of living bonus as a Board may determine to be "fair and reasonable," under the provisiens of the Order.
