Support the Red Shield appeal. â€" Just as the British flag has its glorious tradltions won by service, so the Salvation Army flag has won fame and admiration for its many deeds of mercy â€" Special mention may well be made of what the Salvation Army is doing for the sailors, the soldiers and the airmen here in Canada. Up to December, 1942, the Salvation Army Red Shield huts at Canaâ€" dian camps were used 56,393,937 times; there were 7,7€64 religious services conducted with a total atâ€" tendance of 1,851,8089; 4,028 concerts were provided, with 1,271,057 attending; 20,948 motion picture ‘shows were held with 7,109,142 enjoying thése enâ€" ‘tertainments; 771,593 participated in the outdoor sports and games organized for the men of the armed services by the Salvation Army; there were 8,281,285 participants at the indoor recreation 'events of the Red Shield; writing material used, pper, envelopes and postcards reached the asâ€" tounding total of 50,813,539; 205, 898 articles of clqt.hing were mended; 355,769 articles of clothing,1 sweaters, socks, etc., were supplied by the Red Shield Women‘s Auxiliary; 506,821 personal serâ€" _vices were rendered the men on service in Canada, and 23, 775 families were assisted. Thisg war is different in many respects from the of past; In one particular the difference ds very Btflkiné' In"most wars the admonition is to "keep the flag fiying." In the present conflict there are many flags to be kept fiying. It is as mecessary iand desirable that all the flags of the several Allied Nations should be kept fiying as it is that the British flag should not be allowed to Groop or‘fade. Then there are two flags that are not so much flags of particular nations as they are fHags of all humanity. These are the flags of the Red Crossâ€"the red cross of human healing and mercyâ€"and the Salvation Army flag that carries the words, "Blood and Fire." _Timmins, Ont., Thursday, Sept. 16th, 1943 (What is the Salvation Army doing on the Home Front? The Army maintains emergency> homes for women;. general and maternity â€"~hospitals; homes for girls and boys; summer camps; sunset lodges .for aged iladies; eventide homes for aged men. The Salvation Army attends police courts, "visits prisons and hospitals, gives counsel and advice to improve homes and life in general. The Salvation ‘Army is famous/as a builder of morale on the fighting fronts. No less surely does it create and foster true: morale on the Home Front. the remarkable service of the Salâ€" Â¥ation Army to the®men on active service overseas, the Government has been contributing materially to the cost of the notable service given by the Salâ€" vation Army to the sailors, the soldiers and the airmen overseas. This has made public.donations to the Salvation Army work ceverseas not so essenâ€" tial. But the Government makes no provision for helping the Salvation Army‘s work on the Home Front. Accordingly it is the duty and the privilege "of the public to see that the Salvation Army Home Front does not need for support. As The Advance pointed out last year the work overseas cannot be carried on without the strength of the Home Front. The Home Front supplies the organization, the enthusiasm, the ways and means for carrying on the service overseas. Any weakening of the Home Front will prejudice the overseas effort. It should be remembered that most of the Home Front work toâ€"day is really war work. Not only do War condmons place special burdens on the Salvaâ€" tion Army Home Front, as on all social: service work, but much of the cost of maintaining the Home Front of the Salvation Army is directly due to the war. There is wool to buy; there are solâ€" diers‘ families to counsel and care for; there are soldiers and sailors and airmen in Canada that are ‘being given help and the comfort that are the very essence of the whole endeavour of the Salvation During the present month there should be specâ€" jal attention given to the fiying of the Salvation Army flagâ€"a flag that gallantly waves in 97 counâ€" tries. From the 20th to the 30th of this month the Balvation Army is conducting an appeal to keep the Red Shield flying on the Home Front. In Timâ€" mins the objective for the campaign is $5,000.00. It should not be difficult to pass this objective in this town and district at this time. Certainly, from any standpoint the work of the Salvation Army on the Home Front is worth much more than this to Timmins and district. j KEEP THE FLAGS FLYING ed in the outdoor r the men of the _Army; there were indoor recreation ing material used, ; reached the asâ€" 05,898 articles of rticles of clothing, jlied by the Red 821 personal serâ€" service in Canada, d. . glorious tradltions Army flag has won ny deeds of mercy iss to humanity. lying high on the hield appeal. The Press Censorship Directiveâ€"No. So and So, issued then and whenâ€"(number and times deâ€" leted so that no enemy can figure anything out)â€" says that "to prevent the enemy from obtaining weather data which would enable him to ascerâ€" tain or forecast conditions favourable to contemâ€" plated raids, submarine operations, landings o1 other ‘action, the weather reports issued by the Dominion Meteorological Offices have been sharply :curtailed." Up in ithis neck of the woods it has been a lot worse than that. Not only do they unâ€" doubtedli confuse the enemy, but they even conâ€" fuse the people here who watch the weather as it comes along. Weathen reports say that it is going to be fair and warmer, and it gets cold and rains like heck, or maybe starts to snow. Or the reports' say it is going to be cloudy and starmy and it is so hot even tpe air can hardly hreathe. The weather reports are seldom in the sightest agreement with the weather itself when it comes alongâ€" and it always comes along. does, the weather.

'-9 »“‘ h 2 , ndse filpgr that the govemment dacldea ahnuld used, Repeatedly, The Advance has paointed out that municipal government is the nearest approach ‘to" self-govemment that there is, and there has been constant danger if recent years of losing that. It is one of the ironies of political performances .fi_,t.hat Ontario has seen the most determined efforts on the part of soâ€"called "Liberal" governments to rob the province and the municipalities of their rights. . It is only fair to add that the tendency to bureaucracy has not stopped with the Dominion or the Province. The same tricks have been atâ€" tempted by municipalities on school: boards and commissions. The Dominion‘s argument is that the provinces are wasteful and incompetent and need to be guided and guarded by the greater poâ€" wers at Ottawa. The glaring truth, of course, is that provinces are poor pikers in wastefulness and incompetence compared to the experts at Ottawa. The same form of alleged logic is used when the province seeksd to steal some right from the muniâ€" cipality. The Hepburn government after splitting the heavens with denunciation of the previous Onâ€" tario admnistration for its lack of sense and care, had the temerity to suggest that municipalities had mismanaged affairs so badly that it was too bad, and the Ontario government should perforce take over full: commiand and control. The muniâ€" cipalities robbed of much of their authority and being rubber stamips for the ‘province were often inclined to attempt to make the boards and comâ€" missions into rubber stamps for municipal use. What all along the line has been forgotten is that the whole tendency is away from responsible government.: The people elect the various bodies The stories of improved financial conditions and bettered prospects in certain towns and cities placed under bureaucratic control is largely propaâ€" ganda. Even if it were all true, it would not justify the interference with municipalities that have been well conducted.. It would be well in any case to remember the statement made in Timmins wears ago by Mr. Lord, then president of the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers‘ | Union. He held that the people had the inalienable right to govqrn themselves, and that that right included the right even to make mistakes, thq people having a ready remedy. The local mistakes, however, are not a cirecumstance to those that may be made by proâ€" vincial or Dominion authorities. In the latter case it is much more difficult to apply the peoâ€" ple‘s remedy, Dominion and provincial governâ€" ments usually applying at pleasure the power to continue in office even after their terms have expired. . ’ c3 â€"municipal, provincial and Dominion. The people have a right to conduct their own affairs as they see fit, without undue and bumptious interferâ€" ence from those who wrongly consider themselves as the higherâ€"ups. Perhaps, the real trouble rests with the ambitions of the party friends who graviâ€" tatesinto bureaus and controllerships, and desire to carry machine tactics along with them. Those who have resented the tendency to cenâ€" tralization of power and the attempt to defraud the people of selfâ€"government will be cheered by the expressed attitude of Hon. Geo. H. Dunbar, Ontario‘s new Minister of Municipal Affairs. Quite evidently he is against bureaucratic regimentation and dictatorship. In a recent interview published in The Ottawa Journal, Hon. Mr. Dunbar is quoted as saying:â€" “PeOple elect a lot of good men to look after their own local affairs and the provihce has no business butting in. Maybe: there has been too much of that in the past and if I find there has been I will stop the practice. I believe the proâ€" vince has acted very arbitrarily in some cases Anyway from now on we will give help and guiâ€" dance only in unusual cases.

The proâ€" gram now being prepared includes a dinner to be tendered the President, who afterwards will be the chief speakâ€" er at a public meeting in the Empire Theatre. "Taking part in the various cereâ€" monies will be Captain Tom Magladâ€" ery, Ontario President of the Legion, and Zone Commanders J. H. Sumbler, _of New Liskeard, and W. J. Grummett, M.P.P.â€"elect, of Ansonville. Invitations to attend the public meeting also have been extended to Walter Little, M.P. for Temiskaming, and to Mayor C. H. Taylor, of Cobalt, and M.P.P.â€"elect for Temiskaming. Parents of young men and young women now in the armed services are being especially invited %o the public meeting, at which Comrade Walker will deal with rehapilitation: plans for the postâ€"war period. "Comrade Walker at present is makâ€" ing a tour of other parts of Ontario, and Captain Magladery leff New Lisâ€" keard on Friday evening last to accomâ€" pany him to the various centres where nhe is to appear. FEarlier in the same evening, the executive committee of the New Liskeard Post, who will be hosts for the occasion, held a meeting to consider the program to be drawn up, and the municipality was represented by Councillior Frank Findlay. It has been planned to hold the dinner, which is for veterans only, in the basement of St. John‘s Anglican Church. * a. while the forecasts are quiteâ€"correctâ€"though The Advance would not like to give days and dates| for that, It is the fact, however, that the weather ~reports leave much room for improvemerit. ‘There Members of the Canadian Legion in the North are very much interested in the visit to this cetintry of the Dominâ€" ion President of:the Legion, Comrade Alex Walker. He will be at New Lisâ€" Keard on Monday next, Sept. 20th, This will be the first time he has visited the North. â€" While members in Timmins would have been delighted to have had the Dominion President visit Timmins, this has been found impractical in the short time at his disposal. He is making a tour of all parts of the Dominion and it has been found possible to give only the one day to this North. Accordingly, all Legion members who wish to meet the Dominion President on his visit to the North will have to go to New Lisâ€" keard. While the Timmins Legion is sending delegates to the meeting it is likely that a number cf others will also go down from here. is la lot of broad talk about the brave new world that is going to emerge after the war. How can there be q better world, with the kind of weather that is obt;umng even in this glorious country of the North? . Even in times of war is it necessary to have so confounded much rain? With everyâ€" thing else rationed, why not ration rain? If everybody had to give two coupons every time they wanted rain, therc certainly wouidn‘t be so much wet weather. It is all vyery well to blame it on the war and suggest that it is worse in other counâ€" tries.. The reports and the weather are no more related than a man and his proverbial mother- inâ€"law. While it is nearly certain that the weaâ€" ther will be different fJrom the forecast, it would be suicidal to depend even on that. It may be that it was the weather reports that made Mussolim the mental case that he is now. When nearly everybody was asleep to the danâ€" gers of the present war and taking no sensible steps to prepare ftor it, the weathermen were even then confusing the enemy by the reports issued. so, perhaps, no one should find fault with the truly patriotic reports. But the weather itself does simply, bring to memory the couplet:â€"â€" "The rain falls on the just, and on the unjust fellah; Visit of Dominion President of Legion to New Liskeard Still stands the motto of the King: f "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.
