In a tirade against police inefficiency, the Daily Press front paged an editorial written by its editorial writer James Gunn. To look at the edtorial one would believe that the good citizens of Timmins were staying up nights worrying about attackers with long carving knives. One sees visions of the populace being disâ€" patched in droves while the police sit idly by their "calling all cars" equipment, playing an endless game of checkers. Also one gets the impression from the editorial that the police are a‘ group Oof nicompoops. ie 4 i o o uie ts t ho o o e o t e P K KA r% ““u“lb V Nt Cl ds t 02A e e o. P e OE « The same thing would have happened if the same call had been made to the Provincial Police office. They would merely have said that they had no jurisdiction and would have told the person to call Chief Gagnon of the Township Police. _ There has been so much trouble in the past when police have oyverlapped their terâ€" ritories yat Chief Lepic is perfectly correct when he states that they had no buisness investigating a call concerning another terâ€" rikory. This may seem a bit callous to some, and after the m:}udlin cryings of the Press, may seem to be against the citzens in general. But such is not the case. The Press would no deubt begin to scteam if the taxpayers had to dig deeper into their pockets to f‘mance the Town Police every time they took on the Township police work. The Township doesn‘t pay taxes to the town for police. protection and they have their own police force headed by Leo Gagnon, who replied to the call eight hours too late to save Deluca. mer o 2 % 3'““\“_ But worst of all these points 1s UhC 1@2CL UIAL ULLC CUIUVULdi P 6 i a false impression as to what are the duties of the Timmins Police, The Timmins police are paid by the Town of Timmins for the proâ€" tection of the citizens which pay taxes to the Town of Timminsâ€"â€" no more no less.

If Gagnon didn‘t see fit to get out of a nice warm bed in the middle of the night to answer what might easily have been the call of a nut, then that is Gagnon‘s fault as he is accepting the pay of the Township for carrying out these duties. : V + J t NA LE VA No The same situation would have arisen in a metropolitan area like Toronto or Montreal where the city may even surround a village or grow beyond what is still retained as a township area. The police jurisdiction, sad but true, is limited to the area which pays the salary of the police. 2 4 § °n L .-:\‘111‘\ ViALe .

' There are indications on the international scéne that the price of gold will rise. These indications arise from many divergent sources. First, there is the need for gold to finance the world economy which after the late war has been shattered to a lamentâ€" ; able state. There are only two nations in a position sound enâ€" ough to undertake this vast projectâ€"â€"the United States and Rusâ€" sia. The cold war is progressing rapidly into a gold war. The Russians have been.trying hard to manipulate the future of Europe by political coups alone, but they are now forced, because of ERP to turn their thoughts to other plans. â€" It has been known for some time by authorities in such matters that Russia has been carrying on a prospecting campaign on a large scale. â€" Every known and suspected source of gold in the Soviets has been gone over carefully in an attempt to bring gold production up equal to that of the Western <Britain, pulling her belt a little tighter, has escaped out of the fight for awhile at least. This will be a fight to the fin‘ish and a desperate one, says Sylvia Porâ€" ter stock market and financial analyst for the New York Post. Other experts in the field agree that United States will not take this lying down and that the recent subsidy of the Canadian govyâ€" ernment is piddling compared to what the prices may become. Following a late season snowstorm the sidewalks, especially those on the much travelled main street, were in terrible shape. Pools of water and slush lay on the sidewalks for days. Not only was it uncomfortable‘walking but decidedly dangerous footing for those attempting to cross the intersections. . We do not suggest that the town remove évery bit of snow from the streets but, a few men with snow shovels and those large handy scrapers could clean up those awful pools at the intersections. The snow will probably have melted when this editorial comes to the notice of the public and the town council. _ That ‘s of little matter. . The pools lay there for days without anything being done and there is every indication that it will happen often when the snow season comes around again. In many town where the hazard of snow is great, they have a regulation which requires the merchants of the main street to remove the snow from in front of their stores imâ€" mediately following a storm. _ If the weather is cold and there is a scum of ice underneath the snow, this is often removed or salt placed on it, or if left, sanded â€" A few reprimands from the council would no doubt go a long way with the merchants who do not realize that it is to their own advantage to keep the snow removed from the front of their many fine stores. It was downâ€" right demoralizing for citizens to tramp around, jump‘ng over puddles and slithering through heavy slush,. . A system of doing these things would soon make this town‘s main street something to talk about, even after a fall of snow. Nuff said. During the recent vis‘t of Robert Saunders, Chairman of the Hydroâ€"Electric Power Commission, Timmins was able to hear straight from "The horses mouth" just what the future plans are for Hydro in Ontario, and for Timmins. _ The whole province from the Quebec border on the east to the Man‘toba border on the West will be one vast network of pewer plants and sub stations. "From Niagara to James Bay." said Mr. Saunders. _ And that will be the ultimate goal. â€" This enterprise will take all of 15 years or more and when completed will make available to everyone in Ontario the benef‘ts of the tremendous Hydroâ€"Electric Power resources. _ At long last action is about to take place on the development of hydroâ€" electric power resources of the St. Lawrence River.

It was also suggested that the talent of the pioneerlng Charâ€" lies of the Porcupine was proven by the fact that so many of them won high place, not only in this North, but also in a much wider sphere. It was not intended, however, to leave the impression that all Charâ€" lies became merchant princes, muniâ€" cipal councillors, members of parlâ€" iament, or _ university . professors. There were other kinds of Charlies here in the carly days, and these "other kinds of Charlies"® had an inâ€" Lterest and a glamour of their own. For example, there was the genâ€" tleman widely known in the North as the "Lost Charley," a name beâ€" stowed on him with the cdd humour of the people of the North: The orâ€" iginal ‘"Lost Charley" was the young son of a wealthy man in the United States. The child dissppeared, and it was believed that the little boy had been. kidnapped and held for ranâ€" som, but, though the father was willâ€" ing to pay any ransom, and did spend millions in trying to trace his child, no clue was ever found to lead to the boy, alive, or dead.. The case was given worldâ€"wide publicity, and the words, "The Lost Charley," were on every lin. It showed the restraint of the North Land pioneers that for them there was only one "Lost Charâ€" ley," and he was not the son of the American millionaire.

Canada was originally the reluctant party when prl-’ vate power interests in the United States, toward the end of the' irst Great War, sought to construct dams and diversions near Massena,. New York. for power purposes. This led to a genaral survey which was completed tn 1921, and more detailed plans in 1926. Because the power development was for so long interâ€" woven with the seaway project, it had little hope of becoming more than a beautiful dream. â€" The seaway project became so bogged down in controversy whenever it came up in the United States Senate that everyone was inclined to consider the whole matter a bust A new agreement, draited in 1941, again failed to pass the | Senate, though then,. ncot being a treaty, it needed but a simple‘ majority.

The Lost Charlie Found the Buriedâ€" W hiskey natnatastnatantasteatss place at Matheson, Mrs. Mac had just given him a l â€"ch. He would have preferred something to drink, but he did not feel strong enough to ask for that. He may have thought that with the. tasty lunch= beneath his belt., he would have strength enâ€" ough to suggest something. stronger than tea to drink. Mrs. Mac forgot his presence in the kitchen and was free‘y gossiping with a neighb‘r lady. They â€"talked aâ€" bout various intimate matters until Mrs. Mac noticed a couple of Proâ€" vincial Policemen approaching the house. "Here come a couple of pesky poâ€" lice," Mrs. Mac said to the neighbour. "They‘ll be looking fer Mac‘s whusâ€" key, but theyll hae to shovel a lot 0o‘ dirâ€"râ€"t ‘before they‘ll find it." The two women laughed. The Lost Charley kept on eating very quietly, but listening very intently, without appearing to do so. The fact of the matter was that a few days before, Mac had brought in a suppy of good Scotch Whiskey though strictly speaking, the law did not allow him to have any liquor® on his premises. But, as Mac himself said: "There‘ll be nae hairrum in it at a‘ when it‘s ainly fer mae ain use an‘ abuse."

With Scottish canniness, Mac saw to it that the whiskey was not â€" left where police or other unauthorized folk would find it. What Mac did was to take those bottles of good out behind the barn and bury them in the manure pile. Iâ€"zded abâ€"ard and away they go. According to. the story, the dogs love it. .

"It‘s not such a serious matter, even for Mac, and it doesn‘t make any difference to you You‘re too sympathetic, Charley."
