LAKE, Publisher There are probably many â€"more ways of ensuring a long and prosperous life for Timmins, and it might be well to consider that capital for future industries could be found right at home. In fact, the poss1b1hty for a large coâ€"operaâ€" tive industry is qulte feasible. Whatever happens it is to be hoped that the meeting on February 3rd will bear fruit for the future of Timmins. Then there is the allâ€"year round ice at the McIntyre Community arena that attracts many world famous skaters. Proper publicity might induce more to train in Timmins and bring plenty of tourists along with them. And an increased expansion and building by the ski club with publicized ski meets might attract many winter sports enthusiasts. In addition, organizations such as the Rod and Gun Club are busy stocking the lakes with fish and enforcing the game laws so there will be plenty of fish and game when the season opens. Fish and game are important tourist attractions. The tourist trade doesn‘t look so promising but should imâ€" prove. A new highway from Timmins to. Sudbury would not only mean lower freight rates but a quicker, cheaper and more easier way for tourists to visit Timmins. At present being at the end of the rail and highway sort of puts Timmins at the end of a deadâ€"end street, Tourists like to travel through, not just to, a place. o Then there‘s farming. While the season is short science is stéadily overcoming that handicap and eventually Timmins might well be the centre of‘ a flourishing farming district. This would mean canning factories, both vegetable and milk, for Timmins. First there are furniture factories which might see the advantages of manufacturing as near the source of raw maâ€" terials as possible. Then there is a steadily growing plastic industry that promises to be one of Canada‘s largest indusâ€" tries. Already plastics areâ€"being used in the manufacture of scores of goods and will likely be used in thousands more. With initiative and enterprise Timmins might well become the plastic centre of Canada. Not only would it secure a more~ confdent feeling of ~permanency for Timmins but it might be the means â€"of expanding the town and doubling its population, Ex Lumbering is the next largest industry. And in lumber would seem to be Timmins hope for attracting new industries. At present byâ€" products of gold mines se1v1ng as a raw material is a possibility of the future and may not be discovâ€" ered in time. So we must look for other raw materials. Naturally, our biggest product is gold, but gold isn‘t a material that can be used to build a large industry. However, there is a possibility that byâ€"products from the gold mines might be discovered that might serve as a raw material to warrant the locating of a fair sized industry in Timmins. Insofar as taxes are concerned it is quite possible that council could make an attractive offer. Hydro electric power is adequate and reasonable in cost; water facilities are ample for some industries; transportation and freight rates aren‘t so attractive unless raw materials and a sizable market could be found in the immediate vicinity of Timmins. In anticipating new industries for Timmins it might be well to consider just what we have to offer in the way of tax rates, hydro electric power, water facilities, transportation and freight rates, the proximity of raw materials and the potential market in and around Timmins. Industries conâ€" templating locating here will undoubtedly investigate all these factors. ; Assuming that taxes, power and water facilities are acâ€" ceptable, what have we to offer in the way of raw materials? Gold mining is the industry from which Timmins has grown into a flourishing and modern city of 29,000. At presâ€" ent if the mining ends the â€"town ends, there‘s no question aâ€" bout it. So everyone interested in seeing Timmins endure should be willing to lend a hand to encourage new industries. A special meeting is being held in the employment office on February 3rd by various interested groups to formulate plans and a campaign in an endeavor to induce new industries to iocate in Timmins. On the success of their efforts may hinge the future of Timmins; whether it will continue to grow and progress as the largest town in northern Ontario, or whether it will eventually disappear and become a legendary ghost gold town of the north. At present there are vague reports that the life of the known ore bodiesâ€"of some ‘of the larger mines in the district are estimated at 20 years; and this only if the mine isn‘t forcâ€" ed to use up high grade ore too quickly and thus shorten its lifeâ€"considerably. Members Canadian Weeldy Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€"Quebec Canada $2.00 Per Year. In the past few decades no working of the mind has been Timmins, Ontario, Thursday, January 30th, 1947 Published Every Thursday by Subscription Rates: United States: $3.00 Per Year W. L. McFARLANE, Editor They agreed that the public should be given full, accurate and unbiased news; that the newspaper had a social responsâ€" ibility to fulfil; and that the readers were entitled to unprejâ€" udiced and uncoloured news, The speakers on the C.B.C. broadcast were economically diversified in their viewpoints (Mr.: Cameron, chairman of the C.C.F. in B.C.; Dr. Ewing, of U.B.C.; and Ken Drury, editor of the Vancouver Newsâ€"Herald) but they all did agree on sevâ€" eral points. Today we have many large chains of newspapers, and large independent newspapers, but in most cases the editors have the freedom of an independent viewpoint. The only drawback seems to be the tendency to give too much prominâ€" ence to crime and conflict and not enotgh.to educational progress. The réason, of course, is evident. The greatest and most horrible world war is barely over and the people are still in a state of mind where they wish to read and hear of violence, crime and tragedy. Newspapers are â€"but the reflecâ€" tion of the mind of the public. What the people want, the newspapers give them. It‘s good business. The balance sheet is one of the most important items to a publisher. Up until 1695 it was a criminal . offence to .publish news unless it was done under And it was well past the middle of the 18thâ€"centuryâ€"that it became permissible to print the debates of the Houses of Parliament. Even then a newspaper couldn‘t criticize the government. Only after the Reform Bill of 1832 could the press examine and print controâ€" versial issues. And up until 1860 heavy taxes were levied on newspapers to prevent their wide circulation. Even in Canada special provincial acts were passed reâ€" stnctlng the freedom of the press in its editorial policy. Those acts were "The Padlock Act," "The Alberta Press Act," and "The B. C. Special Powers Act.” Very likely the habit system will be dealt with in conâ€" siderable detail by Dr. Blatz, the worldâ€"famous child psycholoâ€" gist, when he visits Timmins on February 1l16th and 17th., The discussion on the freedom of the press by the C.B.C. Citizens Fortm on Tuesday night revealed many interesting phases in the history of the newspaper. _ However, if the man has developed a habit system that produced an inquiring and thinking mind, and one that enâ€" ables the man to steadily seek beneficial habits, healthful recreations and studies the chances are he‘ll be well on the way to leading a full and interesting life. ~He will be open to change without aggravation. To a gréat extent this has been benefit to industry, but not so much to the man. Gradually the man is fitted into a habit system that eventually makes him edge away from everything that aggravates it. He begins to lose his individuâ€" ality and becomes more of a mechanical automaton like the thousands of his fellow workers already engaged in mass proâ€" duction. Industry hasâ€"taken advantage of psychologists . findings and used the habit system to help step up mass production. They found that the average man can work much quicker doing one job than a number of jobs. Theworkaday world is where the second big change in the habit system takes place. ~Every business has its own peâ€" culiar set of rules, regulations and methods of performing duties, and the youth must change his habit system and adapt himself if he is to become an efficient workman and prove satisfactory to both his employer and himself. The sooner the lad masters the routine through developing a new habit system the more valuable he becomes to his firm and the more time he can devote to important matters. ® - As the child gradually matures into youth and manhood much of this habit system will determine his speech and acâ€" tions with his conscience taking the place of his parents guiding hand. If the habit system he is equipped with is inâ€" ferior and the youth endeavors to move in a different class of society he will undoubtedly be severely handicapped. And to change the habit system will require considerable regular and applied conscious effort on his part. On the other hand, if the youth‘s habit system is a good one he will move effortâ€" lessly and at ease wherever he goes. Most of the child‘s inittial training is restricted to the parents conception of right and wrong. The child is kept in the parents accepted groove by being corrected when the parâ€" ents believe their offspring wrong and commended when they believe him right.. And, if the child doesn‘t agree voluntarily a variety of punishments are carried out to convince him of the wisdom of his parents choice. Thus a child‘s habit system is gradually moulded into a pattern to conform with his parâ€" ents ideas or ideals, and whether it is a good or inferior one depends to a great extent on the character and intelligence of the parents. In addition to developing a community habit system in the child most families also build up a habit system of cleanâ€" liness. honesty, courtesy, etiquette, kindness and thrift; cerâ€" tain standards. of aportsmanship and workmanship; and a behavior pattern in viewing, acting and dealing with various religions, races, creeds and classes of people. These are habit systems that determine much of the child‘s outlook on life, and the manner he adopts with people. «> o . m Cb e Nb NBAE song. . 14. Haul 20. Gallium _ 16. A bout (svÂ¥m ) (hyphen.)

Probably the most advanced step to that end develâ€" cped during the last week when Timâ€" mins town council called a conference to debate the question. In order to secede it would be necessary to get the Ontario Legislature to petition the fedâ€" eral parliament to request the imâ€" perial parliament to amend the British North America Art so that another province might be formed. That is only one of a number of obstacles. Timmins Man Starts Suit On behalf of his client, Fred Wilâ€" liams, a mechanic residins in Timâ€" mins, J. E.
