P # A # ‘PAGE TWCO ht d it ds . dicad ... A There was a fourâ€"toâ€"two split in council in rescinding the bylaw. _ Messrs Del Vllano nd. Aubry voted that the byâ€" |_law remain in force and that the Dalton and Dwyer comâ€" panies be compelied to operate on the ‘"nickel" fares. Messrs, Quinn, Bailey and Quesnel voted that it be rescinded. Counâ€" cillor Fay, who last yvegar voted for the bylaw, reversed ‘hithself and adhered to his new allegiance to the Slate for 1948. In recommending that the bylaw be rescinded Counâ€" cillor Barney Quinn‘ presented a torthright. ~clear and deâ€" tailed report on bus operation costs on the three runs,.inâ€" Mr. Quinn failed: to report fully on bus income for these runs:; it was on this point that Ray Lachance spokesman for the 100 orâ€"more minéers present, took issue. 8So did J. P. Bartleman, who as usual was in the thick of the argument. _ y The Advance is of the cpinion that Northern Ontario «Indystry would get behind such a plan without hesitation if it were not for one reason: industry here is frightened that such a move would be used by labor as a weapon against them with the argument that industry can put up money for this or that and can‘t increase wages,. This despite the fact that the plan would aid the sons and daughters of those who cannot afford themselves to provide higher education. j It would be the height of the ridiculous for labor here to take such an attitude but there is always some irresponsible, Redâ€"tinged gentleman who would attempt to utilize such a charge. Mr. Peat‘s suggestion is particularly timely, for it comes simultaneously with the report of Sidney Smith, president of the University of Toronto, which shows that of a total stuâ€" dent body of 15,239 attending University of Toronto in 1947, only 94 students were from the Cochrane district, Or in other words, only one person in 1400 in the district is attending U. of ‘P.. This percentage is at least doubled when attendance at Queen‘s McGill and University of Western Ontario are conâ€" sidered of course; but nevertheless it shows an alarmingly low incidence of individuals obtaining higher education from this district. . As a contrast. one person in 93 in the entire popuâ€" lation of the city of Toronto is a university student. So all in all, this week‘s action by ‘council should have interesting‘ ramifications. The bylaw was wiped from the books against the protest of an interested and powerful secâ€" tion of the electorate and it appears unlikely that the matter will rest where it now stands. The four members who voted to rescind the bylaw will unquestionably feel the repercusâ€" sion at the next elections; yet if they acted according to their own lights, they are worthy of considerable credit. It is reégretable that the complete facts conceming the local bus weyre e io ol ""the istre. inferred that Messrs..\Quinn, Fay Quesâ€" nel and Bailey were the bus companies‘ representatives on council and that they would protect the bus companies‘ in â€" terest.. He claimed that the uhion was not attemptng to put bus lines out of business but that more figures were required before a clear evaluation of just fares could be made. _ Mr. Bartlieman questioned the figures which had been suppliéd to Mr. Quinn, enquiring whether the Auditors who drew them up were employed by the bus companies or by the town for this job. This question was not answered. When Mr. Quinn ultimately stated that under the fares of November 7th it was estimated that the bus firm would make approxiâ€" mately ©$7000 a year on the basis of 1946 trafficâ€"â€"after salâ€" depreciation, wages and general expense,. Mr: Bartleâ€" man asked what was meant by depreciation, which he claimed :guld be handled very loosely. This paint wgs also not clariâ€" a, w In defence of his recommendation to féscind the bylaw, ‘Councillor Quinn stated that the fares charged by the local companies were in line: with those: charged by‘ 14 Other bus lines of similar size. This drew the protest from several miners that the local busses were usually crowded over capacity and th:t the same passenger revenue did not prevail here as eiseâ€" where. + hests . ds A... the plan would aid the sons and d or that and can‘t increase wages afford themselves to provide hig Despite much pressure from Local 241 of the Internaâ€" Union of Mine Mill and Smelter Workers, Timmins ouncil this week rescinded the muchâ€"debated bus fare inaugurated by the retiring 1947 council There was a fourâ€"toâ€"two split in council in rescinding the bylaw. â€" Messrs Deli Vllano nd.

In one sense it could be construed as a purely busâ€" iness proposition, for while the rate of return in the form of interest would necessarily be low, yet at least some sort of fnancial return would be involved: ; It is a foolsh world, isn‘t it Nonetheless, thte Advance hopes that Mr. Peat‘s suggestion will obtain the results it deserves. . Something is required at once to enable greater numbers of Northern youth to obtain higher education. Mr. Peat suggests that a student be enabled to borrow $1000 at the rate of $400 per year, with interest at one half of one percent. The plan he suggests does not call for the student to pay this interest; he thinks it would be a worthâ€" while project for district service clubs to absorb this amount. He also thinks that once the fund were established it might be supervised by a board consisting of service club leaders. The big problem of course is to find a publicâ€"spirited individual or corporation with the necessary cash to inaugurâ€" ate the fund. . Whether or not such an individual or firm is to be found remdins to be seen. But certainly if a wealthy individual or firm is seeking a way in which to further the best interests of the youth of this section of the province, no better manner of assisting thein could be devised. This is a proposal which might well be undertaken by Ts M S > . L ce T . * Mr. Peat argues that the establshment of a loan fund through the generosity of a private individual or a corporation is a measure which has priority over building a Northern uniâ€" versity in this section of the province. â€" The Advance concurrs with Mr. Peat, for as he points out, even if the number of students attending such a university were triple the number of those Northern students attending the Southern universities, the institution would necessarily be so small that it would be unable to provide the same standards of teaching personnel, variety of courses or equipment found in the great universities to the south. The suggestion of J. R. McDonald Peat that a loan fund be established from which Northen Ontario students could borrow in order to finance their university educations comes as the soundest suggestion to date in dealing with the problem as to how higher education may be made available to more students in Northern Ontario. â€"Timmins, Ontario, Thursday, February 19th, 1948 p PHONF 38 TIMMIX®, ONXNTARKIO Membets Canadian Weekly Newspaper Assoaoliatinn: Ontatlbâ€"Quebes Newspapet Association Oanada $200 Per Year Ebe Borcupine Adbance Published every Thutrsday by Merion W.

Peters, holding the office from the opening of the town in 1912 to his death in 1922. Chief Alex Borland was head of the fire department for twentyâ€"six years. H.; E. Montgomery, one of the early town clerks and. treasurers of Timâ€" mins, served efficiently for over twenâ€" ty years. There are school trustees who serâ€" ved in the infant town of Timmins who are still doing good work on the boards. There are many active business firms here from the early days still going stronger than ever. For one example, Dalton‘s have "never slept" in thirtyâ€"five yvears. Dr. Minthorn, Timmins‘ first docâ€" tor, is still suckessfully, practicing medicine here, Rev.

The town has been easy on. its businessmen, . its professional men, and its public servants â€" all but policemen. Had these lines been written fifty vears before they were, it might be suspected that some of the Cornishâ€" men in the Porcupine who came from the Penzance district, as some of them did. had tipped off Sir William to cirâ€" cumstances and conditions in regard to the policemen in Tmmins. Certainly, a policeman‘s lot has not been a very happy one in Timmins. In any event it does not seem to have been a very permanent one â€" esâ€" pecially in the early days of the camp.

Reference to this number will be made later. It all seemed to start wth the very He Was Told What He Could Do first chief of police. After nine months service he resigned, but the council would not accept his resignation. They said so by resolution. Then by another resolution, they fired him, without benefit of clergy. In a month or so he wrote them a letter about the matter. Their answer was another resolution, like the other two, "passed unanimously," instructing the clerk to write the exâ€"chief to "inform his lawyer to take such action as he may see fit." The second police chief, Albert J. Courtemanche, proved a popular choice with the council, as shown by the fact that in December of 1914 the council went on record as expressing appreciation of his services, the sinâ€" cerity of the appreciation being sugâ€" gested by tlre giving of a bonus o# $100.00. Hard on Police Chiefs Like most Northern communties, Timmins used to be very hard on poâ€" lice .chiefs.

Timmnis Has Been Lucky. Anyone who has kept in close touch with the facts through the yeéars, and who is fairminded, will agree that in the main Timmins has been lucky in its police chiefs and police staffs. The great majority of them ware both honest and efficient, and made earnest effort to do their work well and without undue unâ€" kindness. One trouble, is that those who come in close touch with the poâ€" lice (the lawâ€"breakers) are inclined to do everything they can to deframe the officers of the law, while the good people of the community are liable to be deceived by this on account of their lack of knowledge of the guardâ€" ians of the law.

"Well, it is quite a lengthy story," he said, "The authorâ€" ities are somewhat at a loss as exactly how to charge you. The closest charge to dropping dry ice on the town is spitting on the sidewalk and after all the offences are somewhat similar when actually performed; however, spitting on the sidewalk does not bear the weight the authorities désire. I suggested that they make it illegal parking because after all the ice did encumber the streets. but they didn‘t like this either.
