3:5? linger" Mine in Timmins were finding sickness in the family one or their chief burdens. The manâ€" agement on the big mine noted thefact, as it has . a habit of noticing anything that effects the wel- Hlfl fare of the men employed. The Big Mine has an- ' other habitâ€"4t always attempts to ,do. more than . noticeâ€"it tries to find a remedy for anything that " .: does not appear to be right. And a remedy was found for the burden of medical and hospital _ _ costs. The medical profession in the camp gave very hearty support, because everything was far ' trom being easy for them“ Doctors cannot make a living from unpaid fees, and there were many oi them. As soon as a basis for discussion of the : matter was arrived at, the employees were called into conference. All parties working together, difiiculties were soon brushed away and an em;- ployees’ medical plan was formulated. The next step was to have the employees vote on the matter. The vote was taken by secret ballot, and the men voted strongly for the adOption of the plan. It fit?» is interesting now to recall that the Communists in-' town issued circulars condemning the .pr0posal, suggesting that it was simply another capitalistic scheme for regimentation and control. The emâ€" ployees were not deceived by this propaganda, however. The origin of the plan and the working of the plan were probably the most concrete ex- amples of working democracy that it would be possible to achieve. In the first place the em- ployees had the freest possible choice as to whet- her or not the plan would be adopted. They had in the operation of the plan. .All these evidences of democracy in actual world were basic principles of the plan. The men were free to choose their doc- m M00 Par Year. _ m _ muted WNW Y0”. not only the employees but their families. There Was as little red tape and regimentation about the plan, even when it was adopted, as it is possible to have in such a case. Indeed, the plan had so little of regimentation and so much of the human that here and there changes and amendments had to be made from time to time. But the fact remains that the plan has worked to the advantage of all concerned. It is true, perhaps, that in the experi- mental stages it may have proven more costly to the Hollinger than at first expected. If that has been the case, the Hollinger has never mentioned the fact. The Hollinger has simply stood behind the plan and co- -operated to assure its full success The success of the plan has been so marked that it stands as an example of what democractic plans can do when honest effort is made’on all sides. Credit for the outstanding success of the IIollinger Employees’ Medical Services plan must be shared by the Hollinger Mine, the doctors, the hospital, the nurses“, and especially the employees them- selves. Jig may not be out 01 place to give a little special credit to Dr. R. P. Smith, whose energy, en- thusiasm and skill have contributed much to the success of the plan. To-day the Hollinger Medical Plan has been ac cepted as a model by other mines and industries and by municipalities and governments. When Kirkland Lake mines sought a similar plan, the Hollinger one was adopted with little change.) The Rouyn and Noranda camp mines have also taken up the Hollinger Medical plan after very careful study. When Dr. Ralph Neelands incorporated medical care for all mine workers in the North as part or his platform he had the Honinger plan in mind. Only recently the McIntyre Mine adopted the plan in its entirety, and ten other mines in the camp-comprising practically all the producing mines in the Porcupine areaâ€"have adopted the Hollinger plan. and-emphasize the fact that it is the Hollinger plan, not only giving credit where credit is clue but also using good judgm'sent ion the Hollinger plan' has proven itself a‘ decided success. Gold mines in the Rouyn and Noranda area have also adopted the Holiinger plan. The prospects appear good that the Hollinger medical plan Will .be in Iorce in all the gold minesâ€"possibly in all the minesâ€"in Canadaâ€"before very long. The latest candidate to consider the selection of the Hollinger plan is the corporation of the town of Timmins. The town at the present time has some 11? permanent employees. This means that counting the families of‘ all the town employees between four and five hundred people, young and old would be benefltted. It is likely that the town will be added to the others who have adopted the Hollinger Medical plan. The town council is in laVOur of. it. It depends on the will of the town employees, because as noted before its foundation. note is democratic i-fdea medical services and hospitalization at m Vicmry Loan to carry on.

The tendency to allow minor ailments to progress to serious illness has been largely overcome, while at the same time, a the Whole principle and practice of'the plan tends to avoid unneces-w sary operations.

There is another lesson that may be learned from the 11011111388338ch plan, and that is that the public will benefit not only in the line of health but in other departments oi life by follow- ing truly democractic methods rather than risk- ing undue regimentation and wartime control for peacetime needs. - On Saturday the proper form of salute to the Legion is to bring the hand up hulckly to the pocket, draw a silver coin ora bank bill smartly out and thrust it forward in exchange for a Poppy. The Poppy should be worn=by all on Saturday, Sun- day, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in honour of those who suffered and died on Flander’s Field. ' Salute the Legion, and; make it the living truth: They shall not grow old, as we that are left There are only three more days left for Timmins 3 and the District of Cochrane to meet the objectives set for them in the Fifth Victory Loan campaign In past campaigns the objectives have always been considered as set a little too high, but they have always been reached, and all are confident enough that they will be met this time again. To feel that, however, is not enough. It is essential that each and all do everything possible to help reach the objective. The workers are giving special effort to the battle. It remains for the peOple to do the rest. ing, _ We shall remember them. Observing Poppy Day, buying Poppies, wearing Poppies,'through the Legion system, has been made more than simple sentiment. It is practical remembrance in a deep sense. The Poppies that are sold mean money for the Veterans and their families. The Poppies themselves are made by disabled veterans and thus even the cost of the tokens helps the men who fought and dared for freedom and the right. The profits from the sale of the Poppies all'go to the special Legion fund to provide the means to help‘ veterans and their families. .This year the Legion asks and needs even more than the usual response on Poppy Day for in addition to the veterans of the last war, atherLegi‘on- has undertaken the care and comfort of the heroes of this war and the dependents of those heroes. Remember this year when you buy The men of the Canadian Legion of British Emâ€" pire Service League ask for no salutes, but this is a time when salute should be given them. In honouringwhe Legion in the next few days the people will be but honouring. themselves and hon« ouring the brave men who gave their all in the last war and the gallant men who are offering the same great sacrifice in this conflict. Elsewhere in this week’s issue of The Advance will be found a lengthy reference to the aims and purposes of the Legion. These aims and purposes are being earnestly followed by all branches of the Legion in Canada, and nowhere with more sin- cere devotion than in the Timmins Branch. Surely no other cause is more Worthy of support than this! Surely, there is no other way in which men and women can more truly honour themselves and do their part than by true salute to the Canadian LeigiOn on Poppy Day and after. a POppy you are! adding your contribution to the funds that will assure the Legion hope and pur- pose that no ill or wounded or needy service man or any of his immediate family shall know want on lack so long as the Legion lives. The campaign this year has some difierent fea- tures to the outstanding ones of other campaigns. It is quite evident in this campaign that the peo- ple in general are fully “bond conscious.” In the average case it is not necessary to show why bonds should be purchased or to argue as to the attrac- tive points about Victory Bonds or the need for the money. The cumulative etlect of advertising and efiort is being shown. In this campaign the workers are having the benefit of all the adverâ€" tising and effort of previous drives. There are new handicaps, however. . One of these is, oddly enough, the growing public idea that the war is just about over. The fact, of course, is that there is a long and diflictflt' lime yet during which the war must be carried on" with the fullest vigour. Even if Germany #65936 collapse to- -morrow, the battle would not be over, and it would be danger- ous to relax effort. Japan will not prove any easy mark to overcome. The chances are that Japan will carry on litem lly to death. In Europe itself there will be such a turmoil that- it will take liter-- ally years to restore proper order. In any event, there will be full need for all the money tram the Fifth. Victory Loan £0 carry on. Another special grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years con- demn.

It would appear that all the great powers are agreed that nothing but unconditional sur- render will.be accepted as an overture to peace Another point is that all the Allied Nations, includ- Alt the town council meeting on Mon- 1 day the matter of a medical plan for town employees was under considers.e 1 tion. Councillor Eyre said that as long? ago as 1939 the matter ‘had‘been con- sidered by the town but no steps taken} At the present time there were 11-73 permanent town employees, including“ the firemen, police, town staff and: works department. In normal times this number would be materially in- creased. At difierent times employees had asked about some medical plan‘ such as that enjoyed for several years by Hollinger employees and recently adopted by eleven other mines. After- consideration the present council had decided to have the permanent em- ployees of the town vote as to whether they wished a medical plan of this sort. The plan proposed was exactly the same as the {Hollinger plan. It would cost the employees the same as paid by Hollinger employees, and the town would hear the same portion of cost as the mine does in its case. Mter this explanation the council passed the fol- lowing resolution:â€" Still stands the motto of the King: “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, unshak‘ 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.” Lord Halifax says that Germany may crack at. any time.
