TIMMINS, PNTARIO Members Canadian Weckly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€"Quebec Newspaper Association i % FPublished every Thursday by Merton W. Lake Subscription Rates: . Canada $2.00 Per Year United States: $3.00 Per Year . Cbe PRorcupine Abbarice Ruark Doesnt Touch It Y There was a long arguement as to the exact meaning of the words "seâ€" cufity of his person," and those of us who had served on the Human Rights C:mission were called upon to try to rescall what had been in the minds of the dz‘egates to the commission when »hey discussed this phase at Lake Sucâ€" cess last spr ng. ‘Curiously enouzh, if you have ilsâ€" rened to argzuemen‘s and counter arâ€" guements in a great many meetings, you became somewhat confused in the lang run as to what happened in the first ¢r third meeting or in a draft committee meeting or in the commisâ€" sion meetings themselves. But one thing I was very sure of, and that is tm these words, "security of his perâ€" son," include all the different points d‘w. ‘These were brought forth by the Latinâ€"American delegates who PARIS, Friday â€"â€" In Committee Three (Sscial) on Tuesday afternon after much discussion through the whole afternoo non the manner of voting on the different amendments, we finally succeeded in voting on them all and ended by keeping Article Three of the Bill of Human Rights exactly as it was in the original draft presented by the Human Rights Commissicn. It reads: "Everyone has the right to live, liberty, and the security of his person." Instead of getting a baby sitter at so much an hour, officer Clancy or Thompson will do the job â€" even a change Job â€" on the town. Have you parked on the wrong street? Never worry, Thie new Timmins police force will look after your car for you and see that the snow plow doesn‘t cut it in half. Did you have that secâ€" ond glass of beer and hesitate to drive your jalopy home? Never fear, the Timmins police will drive it for you. Two safe crackers were working on a "box" in back of a store. They had just pried the door open when in walked a big burly boy in blue. "Now, Now," said the pleasant big man. "Put down that machine gun boys. I‘m not going to run you in, I‘m ijiust going 0 put this box back together and escort you gentlemen over to the station house. No, no, I‘m not arresting you, Woulun‘t think of it. Just a mere matter of routine. Most unpleasant part of my job. So sorry." It is %ll part of the new training which the Timmins police force will be getting in the future. Physchologists will straighten out their egos and personalities, until they just ooze charm. A whole force of Clark Gables and Gary Coopers will walk about the town,; chin high and a smile on their faces. No imore grim looks and hardshell pans. The boys have given up that idea. â€"The Ehugs scratched their heads and before they could resist they walked into the station and heard the steel doors clang Eeâ€" hind them. The newspapers try to keep the citizens informed on all events of import but citizens should allow themselves to become more embroiled in the affairs of the town. Let us at this time the good deeds of council as well as the many human blunaers and bobbles. The dear old lady hesitated on the curb. Cars dashed up and down and when the lights changed, they dashed across and CaCk. The old lady was bewildered and she wanted to get home in time to get the supper on for her husbsnd, Suddenly she felt a strong hand on her arm. "Come along Mother. . the light is right for you now." The old lady looked up and saw a blue uniformed man who smiled pleasantly and helped her across the before she knew what she was doing. and words at clection time. It is with this thought in mind that we ask the citizens of Timmins to take more interest in the comâ€" ing elections Look over your council and if you wish them reâ€" turned or if you wish some others in their place, make them feel that their job is a most important one to the town and to the future of this nation. ENE EP Even a person who is already in office will often wonder if he should continue and whether or not he can afford it in time and money. The rewards are small in money and prestige these days. A few trips to conventions don‘t empensate for the bitter thoughts "Well, he wanted the job, didn‘t he?" many are heard to say. "He wouldn‘t have run if he didn‘t want the job for graft." The truth of the matter is, seldom has a candidate much choice in the matter. He will run only if and when others practically force him to make up his mind and put him on the platform. Few citizens wish to have the powerful rays of public opinion shone upon them. Most citizens will seek to put themselves in the forefront in their jobs and in their cluks. But when it comes to running for public office they shun the limelight. i a «o0 e e 0 w 0 _ It is the duty too of every citizen to look upon such service with gratefulness rather than cynicism and suspicion. The cases of men in public life who are in it "for what they can get," are rarer than one would be led to believe by the general trends of thought, Most public spirited men and women suffer more and pay out more from their own pockets than they will ever get in return in money or ‘good will. Too often it is thought of as a task. A duty to be performed grudgingly and with little enthusiasm. Service to his local comâ€" munity is one of the finest things which a citizen can do. It is not something to be thought of lightly and shoved aside because of the press of busines. Many of the busiest men make the most active servants of the community. Authorized as second class matter by the Post Office Department, Olttawa Phil Laporte put it this way. He said: "A citizen should feel it his duty at this time to think of what service he may render the community in which he lives." Do.you think we are dreaming. Yeah â€" I guess we are a bit.

The responsibility of the weekly editor to his community and readers is clearly stated by R. A.

Ai4 Bullion production by Ontario‘s gold mines during the first nine months of this year was valued at $52,960,943, an increase of 4.6% over the comparable period of 1947, it was announced today by the Statistical Branch of hte Ontario Department of Mines. During September, 44 proâ€" dused hbullion woerth $5,923.128, the lowest since June, from 710,557 tons of ore, the lowest tonnage recorded since July.

And that is the frst essertial to the true trctherhâ€"od of markind. The renovaâ€" ‘ion of the world must begin from within the hearts of m:rn, with the salvation of thes individurl from the tins cf selfishness, greed, envy, and natred, which are the causes of all s J3 c i a l, national and internatonal strife. It is all summed un in these words of Scriptur2: whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in vour members? Ye lust, and have not; ve kill and desire io have,.and cannot thtain; ve fight and war, yet ve have not, because you ask not." World Renovators Instead of imuroving the world, ‘"hese ‘"renovatirs" have made a mess of it. And the reason for their fa lurse is that the world is made up of a great variecty of lhuman brings who can not ie nourded into a imass and reproâ€" duced in a single mould. As the Pope says: "Life always produces a scale of ~ragdatitns and diiferences in physical and nlellectual qaualit‘es." Christianâ€" ity does not rromise equality, but it does insist uron individual resp:nsibiâ€" lity ond human brotherhcod under the Fathorhood of God. Address‘ng a gathering of autcmoâ€" bile workers in Rome, Pope Pius reâ€" ferred to the* Communist u n i 0 n leaders as "those renovators in the world who take upon themselves the care of the interests of workers as th:ugh it was thsir own monopoly." He said they "fliash before the eyes of the pbesple a mirage of future prosâ€" perity ard richness based on the superstition of technique and organâ€" izration. . . . The church never proâ€" mises equalitvy which others bLecause it knows that life alwavys proâ€" a scale of gradations and diff:r. ences in physical and intellectual qualities." The lesson of the two world wars is thatâ€" Socalism, whatever name itb assiumes leads eventuaily to totalitarâ€" ianiem and esgressive imperialism. Both Hitler and Mussâ€"lini were or.â€" gimally Socialists and they climbed to nows»r <n the backs of the workers, whom they immedite‘:y suppressed and turned into State slaves. They flashed before the eves of the people the mirage of a Utopia in which every« boday wculd have perpetual prosperity and fresdom from the cares of this world. For a whle they seemed to sucâ€" cecd in fullilling their but the mirage faded and the last condiâ€" ticn of the German ard Italian people, as we ses it today, is far worse phan the first. I am not a R:man Catholic, but I think the Fopbe in these few sentences exp;sed the fellac‘es that are the root of most of the social, bolitical and inâ€" ternati:nal troubles cf cur time. Comâ€" munis‘s and Sccialists alike have set themseives un as world renovators, and as a rosu t of the‘r work we have had in tre agcneration, two of the woist watrs in his‘ory. Socialism cr‘â€" gimalcd in Gerirany and it gathered under_â€" Bismark alâ€" though he was a set up a system of State Socialism in order > plazate and control the workers and strike the grourd from under the Marxist Sccialist agitat.rs. Th‘s was followed hy an intensification of Ger4 man natinalism a n d under the Kaiser, who concseived the idta that his m‘ssion was to spyread Gcrman culture ard rule throughout the world. The Seecni Worid War was planned and launched for the same purpiose under Natiznal Socialism by Hitler and his Nazi Pariv, with a result that is onlyv too well knswn. But the lesson of th:ise two wars has rot bes® heedâ€" ed by Socialists, and the rulers of whe Union cf Scvict Eocialist Republics are today f:llow ng in the f:otsteps of ‘nt Kaiser and Hitler.

The odds are that the House Umâ€"American Activities Comâ€" mitte@ will be wiped out. _ If not, it will definitely be revamped. . .So badly did the Communists run the CIO sailors union before they were dumped, the union now must sell its real estate to keep going, The only labor leaders who lost prestige in this election were John Lewis, whose miners voted overwhelmnigly for Mr. Truman:; Dan Tobin, who broke witlhi the Democrats after backing them for decades, and the proâ€"Communist unions which couldn‘t deliver votes to Wallace. In the electrical city of Schenectady, N.Y., for example, whore the proâ€"Communist CIO electrical workers (U.E.) have some 25,000 members, Wallace polled only 3,132 out of 50,000 cast. Walter Reuther‘s auto union now is practically the Democratic Party of Michigan. Another labor chief who will have terrific influence in the new Democratic Party is the ladies garment workers‘ David Dubinsky who quietâ€" ly swung into every New Deal Congressional campaign from Chet Bowles‘ race in Connecticut to Hubert Munmphrey‘s drive in Minnesota and Helen Gahagan Douglas‘ push in California. Dubinsky was one of the first persons called and thanked Wednesday a.m. by Humphrey, now considered Democratic presiâ€" dential timber. . Dubinsky listened and then said, "O.K. now let‘s repeal the Taftâ€"Hartley law." | So much is Jimmie Petrillo taking Truman‘s win as a pure labor victory, the {fiery little musicians chief plans to mass the nation‘s most famous bands and parade them down Pennsylvania Ave. in histoery‘s greatest seregade during the upcoming inaguration. Tipoff on what the nation‘s labor giants want Mr. Truman to deliver them and what their political plans are, won‘t be more than 19 days in coming. Watch the AFL convention in Cincinnati next week and the CIO parley (which may purge the Communists) in Portland, the week after. . . . More than 1,500 CIO oil strikers have been cited for contempt of court as a result of picket line action. . These men and their leaders can be fined $750.000 and 7,500 days in jail. More than 350 oil workers have been arrested. _ Slim, bespectacled oil workers chief, O. A. Knight, a good friend of Phil Murray‘s, faces fines of $30,000 and 300 days in jail. . .The strike has emptied the union‘s treasury. Between now and next summer some 10,009 union contracts expire, including those in the steel and aircraft mills and factories. _ The powerful Machinists union, with vast influence in airplane plants itself has 800 ‘contracts ending each month. This period will be a test of strength and things may get rough. _ Even beâ€" fore a "labor president‘‘ was elected, disputes, were bitter. _ Striking oil workâ€" ers in the San Francisco bay area have 24 damage suits brought against them by oil and transport companies. Fourteen of these actions say that "losses are too great to calculate at this time and we beg of the court to insert the amount (of damage) at a later date." . The other 10 suits claim damages of almost $27,000,.000. . . . A‘l this may be a sign of things to come. . .with President Truman backing theunions. . .

By overconfidence, perhaps. + + These union strategists, now on trains speeding to their national conventions (the AFL in Cincinnati, and the CIO in Portland. Ore.) which they will turn into wildly cheering Wolitical rallies, are certain that they must win in 19850 to prove they really are politically powerful and can deliver a vote. Within a few days there‘ll be a new dGrive to unionize Wall St., backed up by the exuberant «axloxd from their headquarters at the edgé of New York‘s financial area. * HEARD ON THIS BEAT Over 1,000,000 rail workers are asking for five days work at six days pay. Other labor outfits will ask for everything from airconditioning in the plants to maternity benefits. L4 snn The Atlantic Coast Waterfront will probably be tied up--vmlcn.ly Jb union chiefs try to keep Communist squads from taking over _ Otherwise this clection will have been a fluke and their political machines will flounder. That‘s why word has gone out quietly in the past few days tb all the political action units they setup and to their thousands of district captnins that not one club« should be dismantled. Jubilant Jack Kroll, CIO Political Action Chicf, has flashed ordors to his 443 regional units not to slacken up, but in some way to continue politiking. RKight now they‘re starting their drive for repeal of the Taftâ€"Hartlioy Actâ€"â€" and there‘ll be much excitement in this push because neither the labor people‘s candidates nor Mr. Truman are sure to have the votes in congress to junk the bill. « Labor leaders are feeling tough againâ€"â€"from Wall Street to the West Coast waterfront. . There‘ll be more strikes, more sidewalks littered with organizing propaganda, more maneuvering and foot work as the unions prepare to hit employers in the fourth round drive for new wage increases whether prices stay or slide‘tdown. â€" Of course the election did it. The labor chiefs are now political "bosses" and must work out a design for living politically right around the seasons. So this past week has been spent trying to invent techniques to keep the CIOâ€"PAC and the AFL Political League alive. This means, of course, that much of their activity will be planned so that the 19495 city elections everywhere will proyide the.¢excitement for the second act drop. _ That‘ll leave the labor politicos some nine or ten months to cover before they swing into the 1950 Congressional campaign which will make or break them. Paralleling the fight on the Taf{tâ€"Hartley there will be a labor battie for: Creation of a new Cabinet post by setting up a Dept. of Public Welfare. Appointment of important Negro leaders to high Federal jobs, and the namâ€" ing of big time labor officials to kep spots in our forgign apparatus, the ERP and the State Dept. Price ceilings before spring; Governmentâ€"sponsored lowâ€"cost housing for union members and veterans; a law making $30 a woeek the minimum wage:; national health insurance and public medicine: lowering the age on social geâ€" curity and turning the Labor Depnt. into one of the Government‘s most powerâ€" {ful agencies. Many a union chief who planned to move vmlvi-etly through the spring and hope that his followers wouldn‘t press him into a new wage fight, now has a hatful of gimmicks to ask of the boss. This will be about as easy as whipping up interest in ncxt'year‘s National League pennant race on the afternoon of the Armyâ€"Navy football game. You just can‘t continue.to hand out balloons to the school kiddies every afterâ€" noon as the St. Louis PAC did during the campaign to win their parents‘ affectâ€" ion. . Nor can you keep Vaughan Monroe‘s basso on the air drumming up inâ€" terest in labor‘s radio campaigns as the AFL did in Massachusetts right up to Election Dayâ€"â€"â€"successfully, I might add. I get this from no less an authority on the Senate and no less a friend of the people (and I‘m happy to use the phrase) than Vermont‘s Republican Senator Aiken, who is for revamping the law so neither labor nor management get their feeling hurt and labor peace can be kept. 1 Obviously there‘ll be a compromise, which the labor leaders won‘t like, but over which they‘ll have a chance to get their followers and flying squads exâ€" cited and their mimeograph machines whirling. Aiken tells me the pr'o-Taft-IIa:*tloy Senators have the repeal bloc outnumâ€" bered almost two to one. The margin is much closer in the Houseâ€"â€"with the repealers on the short end. At that, it looks like there will be much excitement! Inside Labour by Victor Riesel
