It is depressing, to say the least, to contemplate the effect of such a policy on the Air Cadet moveâ€" ment. For years eager and brilliant young men have been giving their heart and the most arduâ€" ous effort in the ranks of the Air Cadets with the laudible ambition to serve in the Air Arm of active service. After the direct promises made these galâ€" lant and gifted young patriots, surely they are not to be defrauded of the just reward sought. This is one of the most serious aspects of the case, for the Air Cadet plan has not only served a great need in assuring practically trained recruits for the Air Force, but it has been one of the mightiest The exctse given for this apparent breach of faith with thousands of active and earnest young loyalists is that the Army needs recruits. It seems only a few days ago that there was the most serâ€" ious denial that the Army overseas was threatâ€" ened with lack of reâ€"enforcements. Major Conâ€" nie Smith, who served in the last war with disâ€" tinction, and who is back in Canada with serious wounds suffered on active service in this war has been defamed and abused for calling attention to the seripus need for reâ€"enforcements. A simâ€" ilar treatment was meted out to Premier Drew, another distinguished soldier of the last war, for calling attention to all the same situation. Both these gallant soldiers pointed to the remedy that had been endorsed by the people of Canada years agoâ€"the use of the 75,000 men being trained in Canada, but who have decided that they will enly serve where service in not necessaryâ€"safe in a Canada they do not care to really defend. Surely reâ€"enforcements might more easily, and certainly more fittingly be secured from these supposed trained soldiers than from a mere 4,500 volunteers to be drummed out of the service of their choics. Despite carefully nurtured reports that there is an overplus of men in the Air Force there is reason to doubt even that excuse. If the Air Force is overâ€"manned, how does it come that so many of the men of the R.CA.F. overseas are unâ€" able to get furloughs for visits home after + so many years of service? There are literally thousâ€" ands of these gallant airmen who have served for years overseas. If the alleged overâ€"manning is a fact, why keep these gallant fellows in the air, with the cumulative danger to their lives and comfort, if there is really a surplus of trained men? Even were it possible to answer that quesâ€" tion without distorting truth and sense, the fact would remain that any surplus in the air service would be directly due to the muddling of the powerâ€"thatâ€"be, and the patriotic young men who have given their hearts and offered their lives to the Air Force should not be penalized. Thoughtful people were appalled last week at the announcement from Ottawa that 4,500 galâ€" lant young volunteers are to be drummed out of the Air Force and literally thousands of brave and loyal young lads now training for the Air serâ€" vice are to be deprived of their choice, all for the benefit of the 75,000 safetyâ€"first conscripts who have elected to stay in Canada. This is what the announcement means when stripped of all its palâ€" aver and pretence of thoughtful generosity, A consideration of the announcement makes this plain. Naturally the carefully worded ukase from Ottawa did not put the matter in such bold and bald terms. The story from Ottawa was to the effect that the Royal Canadian Air Force finds itself overmanned and so it was necessary to reâ€" duce the number in this service. It was pretendâ€" ed that these 4,500 young volunteers after disâ€" charge from the Air Force would have the choice of volunteering for the Army or the Navy. In; view of the fact that the Navy is no longer seeking recruits, it is evident just how much chance there is for any choice. To clinch this point of lack of choice, the announcement proceeded to state that all of the 4,500 who failed to join the Army or the Navy, (and, remember, there is no chance to join the Navy), would be subject to conscripâ€" tion for the Army. In other words, the bright and loyal lads who had volunteered for service in the' popular branch that they had chosen are told that their reward for ready loyalty, for long and arduous work in training, is simply that they are to be conscripts for the Army after all. The other less devoted conscripts are given the choice of whether they will fight or not, while the volunâ€" teers are given no choice at all. 1 With 75,000 conscripts supposed to be fully trainâ€" ed for services in the Army, what possible excuse can be reasonably offered for trying to turn 4,500 gallant volunteers into unwilling and utterly unâ€" warranted conscription? Timmins, Ontario, Thursday, Oct. 12 1944 Is there no limit to the lengths to which the part of a part of a party at Ottawa will go to pander to what can scarcely be termed otherwise than a disloyal element of the populationâ€"the elâ€" ement that refuses to do its part in the present battle for the liberty and safety of the world?

One thing about Hon. Mitchell Hepburn! He‘s always like North Land weather. You always know what to expectâ€"and that‘s the unexpected. A reader of Charles Dickens wouldn‘t give an opinion. He just asked the question:â€""Will even the little ones count?" One good lady commented:â€"*"They say that the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. But it will be the old man‘s hand that will be out for the baby bonus." The proverbial Irishman describes the Baby Bonus Act as a crime, "bribery and conception." A man well versed in political affairs is doubtâ€" ful what to think about bonuses for babies. "Likely it will be like so many other bonuses," he says. "In a year or two the bonus will be for not having any." The Advance still has the same opinion about what The Globe and Mail terms the "diaper dole". Instead of baby bonuses for the old folks, every man should have opportunity to earn enough to support his own family, and this, of course, imâ€" plies the idea that no man should have more family than he can reasonably support and guard until they can look after themselves. ‘"Hereafter," says another, ‘"every time I see a diaper it will remind me that I have the price of another beer, thanks to that baby bonus." On the other hand there‘s the fellow with two sons in the Zombies. He thinks the fathers of all Zombies should be eligible. A thoughtfui lad in town says he is sure Hitler must be hysterical with rage at the way Mackenâ€" zie King stole this baby idea from him after he had snitched it from poor old Mussolini. The Advance has been collecting random opinâ€" ions on the proposed Baby Bonus legislation. Here are some of them:â€" "Well,"â€"says one father of many, ‘"if I can colâ€" lect all those baby bonuses, I won‘t need the old age pension." Then there‘s the gentleman interested in Vicâ€" tory. He doesn‘t care who gets it so long as the Zombies don‘t. ib A North Bay man thinks that Mr. Dionne should have a handicap. This is Fire, Prevention Week in Canada and the United States, and the large measure in which the purpose of the week is observed is an honour to the organized fire fighters of the two countries. The attention given Fire Prevention Week in this North is particularly worthy of consideration. In the Porcupine Camp the fire chiefs and their men in Timmins, Schumacher and South Porcupine have been both active and successful in securing public support and interest in Fire Prevention Week. Recently, the Township of Whitney has been added to this notable group. By public adâ€" dresses, by the use of radio and the newspapers and by other forms of publicity, the people have been impressed with the unnecessary cost and loss of life resulting from fires that may easily ve avoided. The reduced fire losses in this area give proof of the value of all this earnest effort. In the matter of fires, the record of the Porcupine district is something for just pride under all the circumstances and conditions that naturally preâ€" vail in new and rapidly expanding areas. Through the earnest work of the fire chiefs and their briâ€" gades a very full measure of public coâ€"operation and assistance has been secured. Fire Prevention Week has really meant something in this part of the North and its effect each year has been felt all throught the ensuing twelve months. One of the pleasing evidences of coâ€"operation and supâ€" port this week is the effective window displays in the S. Bucovtsky store and at Marshallâ€"Eccleâ€" stone‘s, These windows attract attention by their novelty and artistic excellence, and the posters on display impress the lessons of thoughtfulness and care necessary to assist in preventing fires and reducing the danger of property loss and the horror of the loss of lives. The town council, the schools, the theatres, the business men and others are giving a coâ€"operation and an interest such as make Fire Prevention Week observed to the best purpose. powers of the day in building character and inâ€" spiring the finest type of patriotism â€" and good citizenship. If such a movement is injured or destroyed, it will be far from a credit to Canada. l I FIRE PREVENTION WEEK | P LAAA A AAâ€"A A LAAA LAAA â€"A LAAA Aâ€"Aâ€"Aâ€"A â€"Aâ€"A â€"AC CA CAE â€" l s GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO 3 _High Jumpâ€"F arrell, Schemlzle, Pearce, Mansfield, Durish, 3 feet 9 inches.
