It is almost impossible to pick up a newspaper, magaz‘ne or periodical of any type, without finding a lengthy article, or at least a brief paragraph dealing with the suffering and want of the peOples of Europe and Asia.: mBecartse these arâ€" ticles have becometour daily fare, they tend to lose their efâ€" feetiveness, and, to the casual reader, the yconvey no more than an item dealing with the weather forecast. After nearly eight years of human misery, we have become immune to stories telling of the horrors o war, and the plight of the little peoples‘, whose families were destroyed, their homes devastated, their Worldiy“'beiohgmgs'* confiscated, and their halfâ€"belief in man‘s inhumamw to : man,. confirmed again and again. + w\ The majority of the people in this land think itâ€"not unâ€" usual to sit down to a: dinner"consisting of a roast, chicken, or steak, vegetables, a good pie@ or cake, fragrant coffee, and a satisfying afterâ€"dinner cigaxett.e For.most people: this is casual daily fare. They enter our shops and ~buyâ€" a warm pair of overshoes, a cosy pair of gloves, whatever is needed to protect themselves from the piercing wind and bitter cold of our Canadian winter. That is their way of life. But all Canadians are not so fortunaté. There is still poverty in the midst o plenty, here at homeâ€"as well and those meals taken so much for granted today, woiarldâ€"be fantastic to many, especially the aged, and. me infirm, Qdymg to eke out an existence at the present cost ~of ‘Hvrng ‘with only their old age pension as an income. fAnfortunate, unmarried mother, who finds herself peniless, but yet responsible for the upkeep of herself and her fatherless child.

If more should be needed, and it exceeds the amount set aside by this club, then other clubs will quickly come forward with assistafyre. Among the older children there will be no shortage of volunteers. If there is a shortage of police to carry out, and supervise the training, it is the duty of the Timmins Town Council, and all town councils throughout the district, to make provision by appointing in place of the regular: force,. auxilary. members who can carry out the task, so that no one will "be able to acâ€" cuse them of having fa‘jed to take the necessary precautions to safeguard the lives of the childrer. That should be every citiZken‘s first duty. . f 44â€" OA O 4 There are many other cat.agories under whxch our needy could be classified, and all of them are provided‘for by the Salvation Army.

Records will show that the maâ€" jority of children involvediin gccidgents are not struck at the busy interâ€"sections, but where they‘least expect to find trafâ€" fic and as a result become gareless 3 These selected for training as patrol members can be apâ€" pointed by the or faculty advisor, but where a stuâ€" dent body exists it is better for them to appoint their own representatives, and draw up their own roster. The service should be voluntary, and ony students who have the written approval of parent or guardian should be accepted. This training is another means whereby instruction in traffic can be extended beyond the classroom, and best results can only be obtained by continuougâ€"supervisiopn and by, utilising the coâ€"operation of the policeg department, whoâ€"should: appoint one or more officers for that purpose. T o s ' â€" In many British schools they go further than street patrols, and start training the children in the road safety, while still in kindergarten, and they do so in a realistic manner by reâ€" constructing conditions similar to those in the neibourâ€" hood in which they live, and each takes his or her turn at being the auto driver, bus driver, pedestrian, cyclist or police, and they carry out their‘respective tasks with the same serâ€" jiousness as do the grown up members of the community. ‘This train‘ng is not only invaluable, but one which we here, with such a large percentage of our population under the age of sixteen, cannot ignore or treat lightly. The purpose of a school safety patrol is to instruct, direct, and control members of the student body inn crossing the streets at, or near schools. They are not charged with the responsibility of directing vehicular traffic. They must not be allowed to do so. Their only duty connected with the motorists must be to signal when the student pedestrians have left the kerb. For years the United States, Great Britain and many towns and cities within the Dominion, have realised that not only do these patrols cut down the number of accidents, but also provice training in responsibility for those selected. In some schools students vie with each other for the honour. When the schools reâ€"opened, there was no sign of the street patrols, and on enquiry it was learned that the conâ€" stable who was in charge, is at present on the sick list, and there is no one who had been trained to take his place, due to the many duties which the police have to perform, and the limâ€" ited number that make up the force. Since there was no one to take his place, the children must take their own chance. Surely such a situation borders on the ridiculous.= Just prior to the closing of the schools for the summer vaâ€" cation, an experiment was tried in training older pupils of Central School to act as guides for other children crossing such busy interâ€"sections as Spruce street and Algonquin Buoâ€" levarde. The equipment was suppi‘ed by the Timmins Lions Club, and the patrol was supervised by a constable of the Police force. Timmins, Ontario, Thursday, September ‘18th, 1947 m Oanam Wnkly Nm Anoclauon.

Dus ‘to the ‘fact that brine cr an excessive amount of salt will cause d.gestive dipprders or evy n death to a pig, some feeders cons der talt as harmful and dangerous to swine and do not include it in: the raticn. Experim:nial results have shown that salt is just as essential to pig as to any other farm animal. The rate of gain is increased and a more economical use.of feed results when salt is fed r:gularly. Salt In Rations Good For Pigs Another socialist, Morgan Phillips, asked Canadians to accept socialist C(C. C. F.) rule so that all Empire countries would be under socialist domination. As Canadians enjoy the highest per capita income and greatâ€" est prosperity of all Empire countries one is inclined to wonder at the arâ€" rogance of those from nther counâ€" trie: who would ask us to give up the advantages we have. Facts of Interest Under the British import of Goods ~Order ~1940, as amended, goods may be imported into the Unâ€" ited Kingdom only under the authorâ€" ity of a licence granted by the Board of Trade.

The most powerful and dangerous pressure groups are, of course, "socialistic‘ planners who attempt to plan on a national basis. Many claim that, while half of Briâ€" tain‘s troubles are due to world difâ€" ficulties beyond her control, the other half are due to the failure of the British government to plan her own affairs wisely. Progress or Reaction? While there is much interest here in the proposal of socialist Britain‘s foreign minister Bevin for a British Empire "customs union" it s difficult to find crystalized opinicn â€" certainly difficult to find many who favour it. To this observer it appears that Canadians are pinning their hopes on the Un.ted. Nations and cooperation with all countries of the world. It is recognized that only by such coâ€" operation can we maintain our high level of employment and our standâ€" ard of living. Empire agreements, unless they are taken merely as a first step toward world agreements, can only. mean a lowering of the high objectives which inspired our memâ€" bership and support of ‘the United Nations. It is a matter which will affect the income and living standâ€" ards of each Canadian. Unnecessary Advise Perhaps it is because Canada is a small country that so many visitors from abroad feel that they should adâ€" vise us to copy some other country. In any case we Canadians continuâ€" ally find it necessary to subdue our resentment and speak kindly to our visitors. Last week James Crawford, a labhour (socialist) M. P. from Britâ€" ain said in Toronto that. Britain‘s troubles, which include a reduced standard of living for her people, came from the failure of her former allies to help her carry her burdens. cf salt with :each hundred pounds cf fesd for pigs of all ages. tries.. ‘"We will hold to any security which has already been achieved through contracts with the Urn.ted Kingdom until such time as multilateral arâ€" rangements are possible which stabâ€" ilize returns‘" said Mr. Gardiner and one cannot find many in the capital to quarrel with his stand. The Danger of Inflation It is easy to find observers and polâ€" itically minded people of all ocâ€" cupatins to tell you something of the present economic "crisis" in Britain which is causing so much concern and dislccation in other countries. Most agree that a measure of world wide inflation has greatly increased Britâ€" ain‘s expenditures and limited her purchase of badly needed machinery and oth:r capital goods." There is obviously general agreeâ€" ment here in favour of the address made by Canada‘s Minister of Agâ€" riculture Rt. Hon. J. G. Gardiner to the people of Britain. The principal points he made which evoke much enthusiasm and agreement are:~ 1. That Canada will join in any world wide effort, which is mutually benâ€" efical, to so distribute our surpluses as to do the greatest good to the greatest number in the world. 2. Until it is possible to obtain the world trade agreements which we prefer, the Canadian government will look after the interests of her producers by making the largest number possible of mutually beneâ€" ficial agreements with other counâ€" Everybody can give pleasure in scme ay. Some people do it by coming Yet Mr. Averaze Cconsumer is noti rebellicus cver ts lack of fondness for eggs. Tha fact that eggs, pound for nound, are more nutritious and eccnomical than perhaps any other fcod in their protein category does sway him to th:ir use, he canr take ‘em or leave ‘jom alone. Raw and pickled eggs make interesting matserial for a story; eggs are a poor substitute on a ‘"meailess" menu, an egg receives little attention, nor draws much comâ€" ment from him, for it‘s ccntribution to a cake or "dainty}â€"unless accomâ€" panied by a portion of it‘s cover! There is no question that a subâ€" stantial proporticn of the: responsiâ€" bility for our present low consumption figures can b> traced to this indifâ€" ference on the part of the consumer who is not ccmpletely eggâ€"quality conscious. If he was educated to be more careful in his selection for qualiâ€" ty in eggs, his, use of them would certainly increase. moms 4 ~ J hn t â€"4 'I.ow in Thh Dfltrict” ccmm{nt both *eonmme: and. producer, and d4tâ€" was suggested that we deal more impr:scively with a particular phase of t¢Fis di!scussion, namelyâ€" egsg quality and it‘s effect on home eciasumption. It‘s »difficult to cr judge just ‘how much the endeavor to buost home consumniion of eggs is curtailed by the produciion and marksting of low quality eggs. The est‘imate could easily be 100% and higher, At the pr:isent time our egg consumption per carta stands at approximately 24 Dozen sqnually.

To take a concrete example of what poor eggâ€"quality w.ll do to the conâ€" sumpticn rate, let us éxamine the ¢atâ€" ing habits of ons particular fam‘ly wich the writer had a chance to inâ€" terview on the subject. This family was of above average msans, and in a pozition to the top prices for fcood ev:n during these times. Coming from a section of the province where high quality esgs are more prevalentâ€" ly found, owing to the greator numâ€" ber of specialists and a more qual.tyâ€" dimanding market, their egg usage averaged about 4 dozen per week for 6 family members Moving to this secticn of the country, they were unâ€" able to secure their accustom:d stanâ€" dard of oauality, conssquently their consumption rate decreassd from 16 dozen psr month to less than > two dozsn. The prevailing pric:s having little,or nothng to do with this drcn. When approached for an explanation for this, the writer was informed that in spite of many efforts to obtain a good dozen egss from number of sources, they unsuccessful, and rather than destrov their taste for the product entirely, did without, except for the cdd occasion when eggs weore us:d for baking purposes.

A special section of the building. equipped with post office boxes, was three in addition to the postmaster looked after the work of the post office, which included the bringing of the mail from Golden City, and the transfer of outâ€" going mail to Porcupine station. Afterm, South. Porcu pine was given a; post office of its own, it was part of the duties of the Aura Lake office to transfer South Porcupine mail to and from Golden City, until the extension of the railway met this need. Aura Lake wias fortunate in having two experienâ€"ed and competent mail clerks on the staff, these beâ€" ing the Misses Moore, daughters of the first construe tion boss at the McIntyre Mmes â€"That the Aura Lake post office was a busy place is proven by even a partial list of its main "custoâ€" mers." These included: The Hollinger; the Vipond; the Bewickâ€"Moring (now a part . of : the Coniaurum); the Cartwright, the Jupiter, and the Plenaurium, (now part of the McIntyre) the Rae Mine, (later the Newray, and now part of the Coniaurum); the Schuâ€" macher Vet, (now ownned by .the Hollinger); and the In 1910, Dayton Ostrosser, who was the manager of the Gibson and Stirling Store at Porupinge, on the site where the Pamour Hotel now stands, decided \to open astore at Aura Lake. He and his father, H. P. Ostrosser, soon had a suitable building erected," with special accomodation for post offce purposes. The buildng was on the site of the McIntyre Badmin ton \Club building of toâ€"day. The store dealt in all supplies for prospectors, except groceries. There was only one other store at Aura Lake at that time, Gib son and Stirling having opened a branch in the new prospective town. * Both the Ostrosser and the Gibson and Stirling stores were on what is now Schumacher‘s main thoroughfare. . South Porcupine was the second town to be established in the Porcupine, but Aura Lake (now Schuâ€" macher) was the second place to have a post office. At that time there was nd Timmins. Indeed as late as Feb. 1912. The Northern Ontario Light and PowerCo. gave its address in its advertisements as: "South Porcupine; Also at Aura lake, Golden City and Matta agam#." "Mattagami‘" was the name given to the section down by the river, now all a part of the tow n of Timmins. In 1912, F. M. Wallingford had a store at the Mattagami where prospectors and â€"others could secure their‘ supplies. Aura Lake would naturally have been "Pearl Lake," as the little community was built alongside the Pearl Lake. There were so many "Pearl Lakes" in the country,; however, that such a name was not pracâ€" tical for a new post office. Accordingly a meeting of prospectors, claim owners and others was called, and the name, "Aura Lake," ("Golden Lake," or "Lake of > was agreed upon. Later, the name was changed to "Schumach,.er‘" in honour of F. W. Schumacher, one of;the pioneer mining men of the area. A mining town with only two stores and few other buildings might be considered as not especially in need of post office service of its own, but Dayton Osstrosser was impressed‘ with the number of active minâ€" ing properties in the immediate district and the fact that their nearest post office was at Golden City. He went to Ottawa. and placed the whole situation fully before the Post Office Department and the Governâ€" ment. with the result that.a post office was established at Aura Lake in 1910.
