The Canadian Air Cadet, the attractive and enâ€" terprising magazine published in the interests of the Air Cadets of Canada suggests that the day of luxury ocean liners is over. The Canadian Air Cadet pictures luxury travel after the war as being chiefly by air. It sees the business man or other traveller having breakfast one day in Montreal, or H’alifax, or New York, and the next day being in London, England, or in Paris, for the early mortnâ€"| ing meal. The idea of the Canadian Air Cadet is quite plausible, and it suggests a number of other changes that may result after the war from what toâ€"day appear the hardships of war conditions. Many people believe that the day of rubber has passed. They argue that scientists have developed substitutes for rubber and that these are of such superior quality that when peace returns rubber will be in little modern demand. The public memâ€" ory is notoriously short. People soon become ac- customed to having certain things, and appear to forget there was a time when they did not have them. By the same token, they may get so used to doing without certain things that they may overlook the fact that these commodities were once considered as necessities. It is quite possible that people who have been rationed on sugar and butâ€" ter and tea and coffee may fail to acquire again the habit of using these articles to any large exâ€" tent. They may turn to something new, or someâ€" thing old, with a new label. More than one local mnian, once a devoted lover of sugar, has dropped the habit of using this commodity in the way it was once used by him,. When more normal condiâ€" tions return, will these people turn again to former usages, or will they forget the old loves in the new attractions that may appear? It would be a wise man who could answer that question. _ WO PHONESâ€"36 and 2020 TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association:; Ontarieâ€" Quebee Newspaper Association BPA A DA A A A â€"A L A PAAA C P â€"AE e imoooo'oooooooo During the last war The Advance emphasized the fact that the airplane promised to revolutionâ€" ize travel. . In this North Land, with its immense distances, the plane appeared to be the logical and ideal form of transportation. It was reasonable to expect that traffic by road and rail,â€"and even by water, would give place to airâ€"borne traffic. There were planes enough and enough men skilled in the operation of air craft to make it easy to believe that the plane would make serious inroads on the road traffic and the mail and railway serâ€" vice. It did not work out that way, howéver. It is true that powerful interests seemed to put obâ€" stacles in the way of any important change from the old methods of travel. The plane did not even completely supersede the dog sled in travel in this North with its immense distances. Men of vision pictured at the Close of the last war just how the Canadian Air Force, its equipment and personnel might be used to open the whole great North to the prospector and the pioneer. What actually hapâ€" pened was not so romantic. A few â€"mining comâ€" Timmins, Ontario, Thurs., Fe panies secured planes of their own. A few prosâ€" pectors used the air craft mode of travel. But in the main, the North settled down after the last war in much the same ruts as had impeded proâ€" gress in older days. It might be well for those who see the airplane taking the place of the luxury liner, and even of the motar car, to remember the past. Of course, there are several differâ€" ences between this war and the last, and there will no doubt be material differences in the attiâ€" tude of the people of 1943 or 1944 or 1945 and the folks of 1918. The luxury liners of 1938 will all have to be vastly changed or reâ€"built when this war is over. Whether the aircraft industry will be established to such a degree that not only natural difficulties but also those with special reasons for gesiring return to old forms may be overcome or not may well remain a question. At the moment, of course, victory is the first and the essential matter to be won. Without victory there can be no progress, and nothing new and nothing old will be secure, The whole effort of toâ€"day should be for Victory, but in the meantimg there is no law against young men seeing visions and old men dreaming dreams. There is no ceilâ€" ing to fancy and even the Wartime Prices and Trade Board has not frozen the imagination. Acâ€" cordingly, it may do no harm to picture a gallant new world in which the slower methods of steamâ€" ships and railroads may be replaced by the rapid plane, and even the motor Car and the truck may give place to Baby Austins of the air and Lanâ€" casters that carry freight instead of bombs.

LAKE, Owner and Publisner b. 18th, 1943 the civilized word, none seem to point so victory as this "motto of the King":â€"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, © smile on our lips and our heads held high, anc with God‘s help we shall not fail." In those words are inspiration, morale, incentive courage, and assurance of victory. With every man, every woman, every child, following that motto, there is no such thing as fa‘lure. d now The Advance finds that this motto] should be carried through the victory, through]' the peace, and on to the days when the world is to|. reâ€"built and reâ€"fashioned to a better world. In! his address to the Timmins Kiwanis Club on Monâ€"| day, Dr. S. L. Honeyâ€"dealt with the question of the‘ revival of the world after victory comes. Among the obligations of a Canadian citizen Dr. Honey'; placed first the duty of each and every one doing their full part. There is no other way. “Eachi man must function at his post if the future new democracy is to be a success," said Dr. Honey. proved his own sincerity by his thought of his own ; profession and its bearing on the general good. He: stated some rather startling facts â€" that forty per; cent of the young men of Canada applying for enâ€"| listment in the armed forces are not physically fit, and that over half of this percentage are dental| cripples. Dr. Honey noted that dental ills are, chiefly due to faulty diet, and that 500,000 child-! ren under 16 years of age are undernourished in this land of plenty. Here is a field for study, for, effort, for service for the dentists and the doctors. There are similar fields of work for the men and wo-f men of every trade, every profession, every calling.g Each has his or her particular task, if they but seek it. The health of the people rests with thel service of several groups â€" doctors, dentists, nursâ€" es. The safety and security and happiness of the people equally depend on other groups. Victory of arms will not automatically bring health, or freedom, or security, or contentment. In peace these things will need to be fought for and guardâ€" ed. If there is to be assurance of victory after the victory, there must be a continued, a united a deâ€" voted effort. Each man must take his task. Each must play his part. The need for true patriotism will not enda with the end of the battle of arms. Indeed, that will be but the beginning. There must be a revival of patriotism â€" true patriotism â€" that love of country that glories in those things that are truly glorious â€" the things of the head and the heart, rather than in wealth or passing power or pomp,. Through the years the British Commonwealth of Nations has stood for freedom, for progress, for security, for kindness. It is for these things that the British peoples have risked their all in the present war against the gangster nations. It would be worse than folly to win the victory only to fail to hold all that is costing so much of blood and sweat and tears â€" and worth it all. From the very beginning The Advance has neld that the outcome was inevitable in the presâ€" ent struggle against gangsterism and aggression. The Allies have the unconquerable resources of materials and wealth â€" and above all â€" of men. Victory depends only on the full use of those reâ€" sources. "Put into your task, whatever it may be, all the courage and purpose of which you are capâ€" able". In the continuance of the struggle after victory at arms is achieved, thessame great truth still will hold. Every man to his task, to his place. Every man doing his part, honestly, earnestly. unâ€" 'selfishly. To quote again the "motto of the Kingy‘"‘: â€" "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."

This appears to be a direct: reversal of the old policy, where guests brought home the hotel towels. The public will have to exercise great care in case The spectator‘s idea becomes fact. It would be decidâ€" edly embarrassing for all concerned if the towel brought by a guest to a C.N.R. hotel had the CP.R. hotel mark on it. It would be equally embarrassing if the C.N.R. hotel noticed the guest using one of the hotel‘s own towels.

He was 54 years old, the report states, and was a veteran of the last great war in which he served overseas, along with two brothers, Lorne and Boyd, who were both killed. Oren was three times wounded and badly gassed and he sufâ€" fered more or less for the balance of his life. Many Sfriends here of Mr. Oren Claude Frood will regret to learn of nis recent death at Ottawa.
