Canada $2.00 Per Year Committee, in the course of his remarks giving a large number of possible new industries that might be developed in this North from products of the forest. He pointed out that cellulose mateâ€" rial was available at the Smooth Rock Falls plant of the Abitibi Co., and that from cellulose there could be developed such articles as cordite, artiâ€" ficial glass, rayon, etec. Another product emphaâ€" sized by Mr. Reeves was veneer or plyâ€"wood. A special form of plyâ€"wood was now made that was harder than aluminum and lighter in weight. Presswood, made from waste, wasâ€"noted.by.My. Reeves as an excellent fuel. Those who heard Mr. Reeves‘ address had visions of the thriving industries that might be developed from what may be termed the byâ€"products of the forest industries Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Onlarioâ€" Quebee Newspaper Association Published Every Thursday by GEO. LAKE, Owner and Publisher Flsewhere in this issue will be found an article by Principal Wallace of Queen‘s University on "The Need for Forest Rehabilitation." This is an article that everyone in Canada should read and consider carefully. It is of vital importance to the whole Dominion, but especially to this North Land. One of the troubles in this part of the North is that there is so much attention given to mining that agriculture and the forest receive but seant attention. No thoughtful person would have less attention given to mining, the industry that has built this great North Land, but it does seem both logical and desirable that more care and thought should be given to the forest and the industries that depend on the timber wealth. There are a number of things that have often been said about the forest wealth of the North that will bear much repetition. While mining may well be considered the first industry of this country, it is always well to remember that wisdom suggests the value of secondary industries. Many people have a habit of bemoaning the fact that the North is a land of ofi%fifhining, overlooking the fact that the industries that arise from the forest wealth are very important, not only from the imâ€" mediate profit that may arise but also from the continuing benefit that may come from resources of the forests. Speaking of forest wealth, too many think only of lumbering and papermaking. In addition to these there are scores of subsidiary industries that may develop from the forests. Mr. E. R. Reeves, of the Abitibi Power Paper Comâ€" pany, a couple of years ago gave a most informaâ€" tive address to the Timmins Industrial Survey To develop any of these subsidiary industries, or to continue the main forest industries there must be more than forest conservat.on. There must be what Principal Wallace terms forest rehabilitaâ€" tion. Forest resources have this advantage over mining wealthâ€"the forests may be a crop, rather than a wasting asset. This was proven at the Abitibi Power Paper Co., when that firm was under the management of the late R. A. McInnis. Through the experts of the company, and throfigh experiment and research, a plan was developed whereby the Abitibi Co. limits promised to reproâ€" duce their forest wealth as the yearts Wwent by: The forests were "cropped" in scientific way. New tress were planted or deéeveloped to take the place of those cut down. The plan was brought along to the practical stage where its possibilities were eviâ€" dent..,. The A vance, does not know whether the method has beon ,cont;,nued through the intervenâ€" ing years,but. it appeared some years ago that the Abitibi Co'm.pany' had adopted a plan that assured a supply of pulpwood from year to year without danger of exhausting the forests. Principal Wallace makes it very evident that forests are essential to the welfare of Canada from every standpoint. As he pointed out, the deâ€" pletion of the forests means not only the crippling of the forests industries, but it also means tragic injury to agriculture, the death of wild life in Canada and the loss of attraction of this counâ€" try to tourist trade and to the people themselves. n t PA PAAA AL L AL ALALâ€"ALC P L n P P AP LCA L FOREST REHABILITATION ‘ | se P PPAAA ALAL «it "NOMOM' It is true that at the moment, victory in the war should come first in all thoughts. But vicâ€" tory in the peace is also of the greatest imporâ€" tance and time should be taken now to assure this latter victory. The immediate need for thought along this line is pointed out by Professor Walâ€" lace when he refers to the unemployment that appears to be practically inescapable after the war unless preparations are made now. Principal Wallace makes it clear that proper rehabilitation of the forests will involve the employment of as many as 75,000 people for a term of five years. If any ordinary industry were to offer a fiveâ€"year term of employment for 75,000 people, such an industry would be given loud acclaim all over Canâ€" ada. The use of such an army of men would mean the removal of the larger part of the danger of unemployment. Now is the time to seriousiy consider all these things, and The Advance presses along the sugâ€" gestion that some time and study should be sparâ€" ed now to recognize the possibilities that lie in any wellâ€"defined system for the rehabilitation of the forests, Tin:imins, B-nt., Thursday, May 11th, 1944 Yarrupine Advancee TIMMINS, ONTARIO Subscription Rates United States: $3.00 Per Year For literally, years past The Advance has been earnestly advodating study of the probléem of the soldiers returning to the North with injuries or illness requiring medical and hospital care. The Advance has emphasized the fact that the North has provided a larger proportion of enlistments in the navy, army and airforce and the auxiliary services than, perhaps, any other section of the Dominion. Because of this, it does seem that the servicemen from the North should receive special attention. It is too sadly true that numbers of them will return ill or wounded and in need of hospital and medical care. These brave men and women will deserve something better than to be crowded into already overcrowded institutions like Christie Street hospital, far from their home and friends. The Advance has persistently held that servicemen from the North should have medical and hospital accommodation in their own North, near their families and friends. It is admitted that the present quota of military hospitals and homes will be utterly inadequate for the needs that will arise. It is equally apparent that time will scarcely allow the erection and equipment of enough new places to meet the needs. The Advance believes that to meet the situartion advantage should be taken of the facilities at Monteith Camp. There there are already hospitals well equipped to meet the requirements of large numbers of reâ€" turning servicemen. If this accommodation was transferred for the use of the nien from the North, it would provide the necessary care and treatment for the ill and injured soldiers; sailors and airmen of the North. The end of the war will mean that the facilities at Manteith camp will be no longer needed for the purpose for which they were estabâ€" lished. Why not make use of the facilities alâ€" ready available, rather than wasting time, money and effort to build and equip new hospitals or homes and to extend existing ones? in the last issue of The Northern News of Kirkâ€" land Lake there was an editorial article touching on this question. This editorial dealt with the wellâ€"considered views of a Kirkland Lake soldier just invalided home from the battle front. This soldier put the whole matter in a brief paragraph when he said:â€""It would seem that there will be need for a soldier‘s hospital in the North . . . From Northern Ontario have gone many thousands of men. Perhaps, a higher proportion of the popuâ€" lation has gone from the North than from any other part of Ontarioâ€"if not of Canada . .. Why should the men of the Northern areas have to go to Christie Street or any other hospital that may be set up in Southern or Eastern Ontario, for treatment that could be accorded in the North at far less cost to the government? Hundreds of thousands of dollars will be spent in transportaâ€" tion costs. aloneâ€"=that ~mightâ€"asâ€"well go into ~the erection, operation and maintenance of a soldier‘s Hospital in the North." The good faith and interest of the part of a part of a party at Ottawa may well be judged by their attitude on such a matter. Time, economy and a fair deal for the servicemen will be served if the facilities at Monteith are used to provide hospital accommodation and convalescent homes for the sick and injured caming back from overâ€" seas, . At the time of the last war a group of men in a town near Toronto were discussing a man who had shown disloyalty. There were several sugâ€" gestions as to the proper punishment for the traiâ€" tor. "He ought to be shot!" exclaimed one young loyalist. * l s l it P NPA PAAA LAAA LAAA PPA AP L SAAA LA L L AL LA LA L AL L DP "No!" thundered an older, man,. "Shooting is too good for him! Shooting is a soldier‘s death!" "Then hang the brute!" suggested another in the group. "No!" the older man persisted. "Hanging is too good for him! Hanging is a common criminal‘s death!" "I‘d take him out," the older man responded viciously, "and I‘dâ€"I‘dâ€"I‘dâ€"give him a swift kick in the pants!" "Well, what would you do with him?" the older man was asked. In a recent issue The Northern News of Kirkland Lake suggested that, perhaps, the revival of the pillory and the stocks would curb some forms of crime and wrongâ€"doing. It is doubtful if these oldâ€"fashioned forms of punishment would be efâ€" fective in the present modern world. There are certain classes of people who would glory in the publicity they would receive by a term in the stocks. It is easy to imagine some smartâ€"alex of the type that yowls loudly and profanely or obâ€" scenely on street or that kicks doorways in passâ€" ing or whistles at girls, sitting in the stocks and thinking he was the centre of public attraction and interest. His silly ego would thrive on the pillory or the stocks But a swift kick in the pants would do good to his soul, if any, and deflate all the egco in the semiâ€"mental case. Had Hitler been given the number of kicks in the pants at the proper times and in the proper places, he might have developed into a fairly respectable and responsible paper hanger instead of the neurotic murderer that he is Mussolini would never have been the conâ€" ceited old jackanapes, had he been efficiently booted when he was young enough to absorb sense. Perhaps, the modern world has turned too much to the idealism of gentle slaps on the wrist and FOR ILL AND INJURED SOLDIERS THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO | forgotten the manly virtue of a swift kick in the pants. Aristocratic schools depended on the strap and the cane. This may have worked well enough on boys in the classroom. But industry, and even business circles, found that something more rough and ready was the need. Hence, the swift kick in the pants. It tempered the recipient and relieved some of the temper of the kicker. The wrongdoer also felt that he had done wrong, and there was no glory in it. Sometimes, there is a temptation to believe that the present head of the part of a part of a part of a party at Ottawa would have been a lot more straightforward and dependable if he had lived his life in awe of the swift kick in the pants. The swift kick in the pants has the greatest possible degree of deflation of the ego without any permanent injury to the physique. Skilfully applied, it was a mighty power for good. Thousands of the country‘s most able and resâ€" pected heads of industry, finance and commerce were literally raised to their high eminence by juâ€" diciously propelled kicks in the pants. It‘s a hard worldâ€"this North Land. Kirkland Lake has hardly recovered from its excitement in having a Canaâ€" dian frigate named after the Lake Shore town, when along comes some erudite guy to tell Kirkand Lake that is is neâ€" cessary"to coat of arms of the sponsoring municipality in the officers‘ ward room of the vessel. Then the astounding discovery was made that Kirkland Lake has no coat of arms to cover its front. Since the early days Timminsshas had its coat of arms. It is a simple enough designâ€"merely a prospector‘s hammer and a prospector‘s pick guilded, with the motto or the factâ€" ual ‘boast, "Canda‘s Greatest Gold Camp." It may be that Kirkland Lake may have difficulty now in securing a suitâ€" able coat of arms. The Wartime Prices and Trade Board may refuse Kirkland Lake any pricrity on hammers or picks on account of the scarcity of metals. Of course, Kirkland Lake in such a case might go back to stone hammers and picks. _A possible motto would be "Strike When You‘re Hot," or something similar. ' There are some folks in Timmins who would be immeasureably benefitted by the proper swift kicks in the pants. They would instil into their minds a proper sense of proportion of their own importance and the world‘s opinion of their misâ€" deeds. A swift kick in the pants is a sure fire cure for gullibility. Former residents of Renfrew Countyâ€"and there are many of them in the North Landâ€"will be keenly interested to learn.that Mr. P.

Arson is one of the hardest crimes to prove, because the arsonist like the murderer, seldom has any witness to his crime. . Rouyn police last week, however, had the unusual work of setâ€" ting fire to a taxi stand. _ According ‘to the information given by the police to The Rouynâ€"Noranda Press, the man had the fire started when the officers happened to come along. ... When he saw the police he immediately set about extinguishing the blaze. After his arrest he was found to have gasolint and matches in his possession. He told the police that he "liked to see a good fire." That statement suggested that after all he may not be charged with arson, but may be turned over to the The Kinsmens Club of Kirkland Lake., in any event has stepped forward with the suggestion that it will supply the needed coat of arms. The need is to supplied by means of a competition to be conducted by the Kinsmen. The children of the schools are to be asked to submit designs and prizes will be given for the best designs, and from the large number of posters it is exâ€" pected will be submitted, there will be a suitable design selected. Or at least it is to be hoped that this will be the result. .

Many years ago © in one ‘of© their~several~ friendly battles The Renfrew Joumal referred to the editor ot The Leader as "the genial, witty Pat," and thatl description has been pat for Pat all through t.hel years. In proportion to its size, Eganville has taâ€" ken a more prominent and useful place than its population might warrent, and for that fact a large share of the credit must go to the community newspaper, The Leader. The Eganville Leader has been one of the popular and prized institutions of Eganville. To many from that town and district it would not be Eganville without the friendly Leader, nor The Leader without the genial, witty Pat. There will be comfort to these people in the announcement that for a time at least P. J. Mcâ€" Hugh will remain as editor and guide. To the new owners there will be the wish that they will carry on the community newspaper with as much sucâ€" cess for themselves and service for others as has been the case with the genial, witty Pat.
