C. C. F. bright for securing office. The C. C. F. has lost prestige elsewnere in the province, just as it has in this riding, where some of ‘the most active workers two years ago are are either lukeâ€" warm now or opposed. Members of the fourth partyâ€"the Labour Progressivesâ€"admit quite frankly that they do not expéect to win many seats, but that their campaign is chiefly designed to publicize the principles of the party. Although in the province, they are now at daggers drawn these three parties combined to force an: election and thus it appears that unless a straight majority is given to the Drew Government, there can be no combination of other parties able to work toâ€". gether in a stable government for the province. Getting down to particulars, "What would be in the best interests of the community and the province in the election on Monday?" The provâ€" ince needs sound, sane and progressive governâ€" ment, and that is the sort of government that would advance the interests of the North. In this election parties and candidates appear to be seeking to outbid each other in promises and pledges. These may ie discounted. The fact remains that in its brief tenure of office the Drew sovernment has given dignified and effective administration and lived up in notable way to its preâ€"election promises. There is reason, accordâ€" ingly, to have faith in the pledges given to assist the progress of the North, and the development of the North means the benefit of all Ontario. Les Hornick, the Progressive Conservative candidate in this riding has served his own community and the North as a whole in such effective way that there is reason to believe that he would be a valâ€" uable asset to this area were he elected. His campaign has shown that he has the ability, the energy and the interest to represent this area in valuable way. There appears to be a general opinion in the province that the Drew governâ€" ment will be returned on its merit with a sufficient majority to carry along the good work already so well started. It would be to the ‘interest of the North to assist to that end. There are few indeed who believe that Hon. Mr. Hepburn and his followers will make such an outstanding comeâ€"back as to secure a majority of the seats. Neither are the prospects of the The electors do not appear to take very seriousâ€" ly the suggested scandal that the C. C. F. leader has attempted to make the chief plank in his platâ€" form. After failing to mention such an important matter on the floor of the Legislature, Mr. Joliffe has the temerity to believe that he can impress thinking people with his tall tale of: Premier Drew maintaining a oneâ€"man gestapo in Ontario to spy on the opposition. Premier Drew has given very flat and complete denial of the allegaâ€" It is not sufficient, either,. to hold that the issues are too confusing. Seldom is there such confuâ€" sion that can not be dispelled by simply asking the question: ,‘What is in the best interests of the community," It may be that different people may answer that question, honestly and sincerely, in different ways, but the total answer, if all will vote, is almost sure to approximate wisdom. ‘The man who does not vote has defeated more good candidates than the most vicious opposition. Everyone owes it to himself or ‘herself, to the community, and to the country to vote at elections. This should be particularly clear at the present time when men have been risking their lives and giving their lives to preserve democracy and the freedom of expression. The man who refuses to vote is like the slave who would refuse to accept his freedom. ‘Vote as you like, but Vote" is a slogan adopted by the Kiwanis Clubs, by some boards of trade, and by other bodies, as a community service. To induce voters to exercise their franchise is a genufhe community service. In Timmins at pracâ€" ically every election â€" municipal, provincial or federalâ€" there is so large a proportion of those who fail to vote, that the result of the election cannot be taken as the opinionâ€"of the mhajority. The voters whostay at home on election day are betraymg the principles of democracy It is not an answer to say that all parties and all candidates are equally undesirable. <Were that "true, ‘ the fault would still rest with those who do not vote. If all voters exercised their franchise at convenâ€" tions and similar gatherings the. candidates would ‘all be the kind of man or woman for whom. all could cheerfully vote at election time. The fact is, however there is always a choice between canâ€" didates, and it is the duty of the citizen to make the choice. Indeed, the higher the quality. of the. candidate the more difficult it may be to make the choice, so the argument that one is no better than another falls by the wayside.~ Timmins, Ontario, Thursday, May 31, Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Asseciation; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association Pablished Every Tharsésy by GEO.

THE VOTE ON MONDAY she added other and even rarer giftsâ€"the gift of deep heart interest in all her pupilsâ€"the gift of ‘recognizing and encouraging talent even when it appeared in unlikely placesâ€"the gift of sympathy and understandingâ€"the gift of readiness to enter ‘into the life of the communityâ€"the gift of loyalty ‘and .h,i.,gh.» ideals. Thirty years is a long time in a land like this, but it has not been long enâ€" ough to quench the enthusiasm, the earnestness, the sincerity that this great teacher has given to her life work. While leading on successive schools and pupils, Miss Shaw herself kept well abreast in the progress of her profession. The truth of all these things is proven by the impressive array of brilliant pupils graduating from south Porcupine public school. Few schools may fairly boast a greater record. It may be that South Porcupine pupils are far above the average, like the teacher who has served them . for thirty years. In a brief address at an Empire Day event at South Porcuâ€" pine school Miss Shaw said:â€"‘"If I have done any good work here (and I hope you think I have) it is because I have always had the loyal support of splendid trustees, capable and hard working teachâ€" ers and very understanding parents." That would argue that trustees, teachers and parents also are above the average in South Porcupine. That may wéll be the case. All through the Porcupine camp there has been a déep respect and appreciation 0f education and a willingness to spend for schools aond eauinment. The Advance believes the schools and equipment. The Advance Delneyeo NC and the teachers of this camp a truer reason for pride than even the potential material wealth of the community. A people with this devotion to education are assuredly above the average. All the links in this golden chain may be above the average but one link that for‘thirty years has retained its briliapce an;l its value is worthy of special note. Miss Shaw has won more than reâ€" spect and admiration. She has the true affection of literally thousands who will wish her all happiâ€" ness and comfort and the jJoy that she has earned by thirty years of devoted serviceâ€"the joy of menâ€" ories of noble effort and successful endeavour. as Miss Shaw has served is a still greater thing. The Advance believes that even the average teachâ€" er is a decided asset to the community. The inâ€" fluence of the average teacher reaches far beyond school days. The community benefits to a greater extent than generally realized. Miss Shaw, howâ€" ever, is far above the average. She has special talent, special patience, special persistence, special To a natural talent for teaching, At the end of the present school term Miss B. M. Shaw, principal of South Porcupine public school is retiring after a service of thirty years for that fortunate community. The record of Miss:â€" Shaw is one for pride and satisfaction to all concerned. To serve for thirty years as a teacher in the one community is something in itself of note. To serve While it was necessary to reply to Mr. Joliffe‘s charge, it would not be well to dwell teo much upâ€" on it.. Instead, the empha\.sis should be piaced on the records of the parties and what they have done for Ontario in the past year or two. It will be reâ€" called that at the first session of the recent Legisâ€" lature Mr. Joliffe had a scandal about an old couple turned out of house and home by a brutal Hydro Commission. The facts were promptly thrown in Mr. Joliffe‘s face. It was proven that the family concerned had sold the property to the Hydro for more than its worth and then had been allowed to remain for a really unreasonable time before finally required to move.. When Mr. Joliffe was thus proven wrong, with the direct suggestion that while he told the tall stale he knew it was not according to fact, he simply maintained an unfair silence. The people owe it to themselves to discourage this form of political trickery. The use of the vote is the method that should be apâ€" pied. Vote on Monday next. Vote with the thought in mind to help this community, the North and the province at large. SALUTE FOR NOTABLE SERVICE Various reports have appeared conâ€" cerning the illegal made by the export of gold to North Africa, Egypt, Greece and other points. Valâ€" ues placed on an ounce of contraband gold have ranged from $75 to $120, depending upon whatever currency was being dealt in but it is important to note that these figures have nothâ€" ing to do with the value of the Unitâ€" ed States or Canadian dollar in relaâ€" tion to gold. The currencies offered, including Invasion and Occupation dollars of the United States, were mere pawns in the hands of the sellâ€" It was learned that Thompson made a ferry trip abroad and on return he deposited $75,000, mainly in small U. S. bills, in a Montreal bank. He made a second trip to Morocco and on his return, following an incident in that French possession, he was apprechendâ€" ed and asked for an explanation. The F®.E.C.B. does not _enter crimina: charges in such cases but merely seeks to correct abuses of the regulaâ€" tions by the.imposition of fines. (From The Northern Miner) One of the most fantastic tales with factual base yet to come out of foreign exchange transactions in warâ€" time emerged recently when a Peorry Command pilot was fined $10,000 in Montreal for breaches ofâ€" Canadian Foreign Exchange Control regulations R.A.F.

Say, pal can’t you wait fitting memorial and to arrange the details for a until after June 11th. _ a building is sadly needed here. The fact that it will serve a useful and a helpful purpose makes it all the more appropriate as a momument to commemorate the greatness of the men who served. It is the sort of memorial that the serâ€" vicemen themselves would approve. In prominent position on such a community centre should appear a plaque explaining the reason and the meaning of the memorial. The centre should be known by some such name as the "Servicemen‘s Memorial Centre." the Victoria Cross in this war. There may be special popular appeal about suth a plan, but it does not appear quite broad enough. The memâ€" orial should be to Sergt. Cosens, V.C., but it should also be a memorial for those other gallant men from Timmins who will return here no more. It should be also for those soldiers, sailors and airâ€" men who went from this town and district and will return il!l or maimed. It should be for those gallâ€" ant lads whose fortune it may be to return hale and hearty. They all offered their strength, their nealth, their all in defence of freedom and the right. The memorial should be for all who served so nobly and so well. Fantastic Prices Said to be Paid Now for Gold Probably no form of memorial could be more fitting than a community centre building.

DIGR has retired~~ > HARRY will go places That high grading continues to plague the northern gold mines is evidenced by the recent seizure of $11,000 in gold buttons in the care of Philip Authier of Val d‘Or on a road near the Pamour mine in South Porâ€" cupine. In the same car were found $33,000 in $100 Canadian bills. The anxiety of Europeans to secure something tangible such as g0‘d in the place of paper currencies has been at the back of the recent illegal movements of gold. Further evidence is offered by the extraordinary prices offered for goods of all kinds. But gold is considered to be the prime asâ€" set; hence the demand and the price. The latter does not necessarily denote the open market value of any currncy ers. In some cases the offers repreâ€" sented lack of confidence in all forâ€" eign currencies; in Oother cases such offers carried a more sinister: tation.
