The reâ€"elecion of the Truman adâ€" ministration in the United States has smoothed he pathway toward this goal. Mr. Truman came out emphaticaly during his campaign in favor of "all or nothing" on the St. Lawrence. He wants it developed as a combined *waterway and power development, or mot at all. This attitude coincides with that of the Canadian Government. Ottawk wouldn‘t go as far as Mr. Truman, bug it pins high hopes on a combined pro< ject being agreed to by the United sion ? The Financial Post Saysâ€"â€" It is surprising to go over the lists of business and political leaders and findg out how many were"at one time teachers. Yet many of them are the hardest to convince that the educational system must advance with the advancement of science and busiâ€" ness methods. Labour of every kind is getting a break from busiâ€" ness and industry â€" why the holdâ€"back in the teaching profesâ€" Pushing Seaway Projectâ€"The Fedâ€" given the very highest priority in eral Government is bringing all posa Canadian Government thinkng, as an sible pressure to bear to have the St. urgent defense project. Lawrence Power and Seaway Devels One of the key points in this arguâ€" opment undertaken immediately as ment is the development of the Labâ€" an urgent defense projeot, states a radorâ€"Quebec iron ore deposits. Financial Post report from Ottawa,. n s ‘"Direct and official contact between teachers and board memâ€" bers on salary matters will eliminate much of the misunderâ€" standing associated with unorganized lobbying by teachers‘ reâ€" presentatives," says Miss McGonigle, "All salary and other diffiâ€" culties may be ironed out by closer relations between teachers and school boards." Btates within the nexst six month The Teacher‘s Federation urges that teachers and school boards get together to assure the children of the community of the best, possible education. Few parents want inferior conditions for training their children. They know that in the 20th century there is definitely a relationship between quality and cost. If they want first rake school buildings and equipment they cannot purchase them at thiraâ€"rate prices; if they want instructors they cannot expect t ohire them at the rate of untrained personnel. If they want individual consideration g i v e h their own Partâ€" icular child, theyâ€" cannot expect it in crowded classrooms from teachers who are given no free time for contemplation or thought ackout geals beyond the immediate one of the lesson. Another point which she raised is the matter of tolerance toâ€" ward secondary school teachers. "If people wish understanding and tolerance for their children, why don‘t they give it to those who instruct their children?" She says. It is a moot point. It is one which has been discussed many times and one which should be so apparent that it doesn‘t require much discussion. This matter of wages which Miss McGoniglke brings up is an important one. Teachers, we are told, are human. Then if they are human like the rest of us, then they would like to be treated as humans. Miss Eilleen McGonigle, Ontario Secondary School Teachers‘ Fe?ratlon president, has urged closer relations between teachers and school boards as the first step in eliminating salary difficulâ€" ties. These are the brave men who booed out so loudly when Proâ€" fessor Watson Kirkonell was in town, knowing that they wouldn‘t be repremanded because they were a minority group. But we can be pushed around too much by minority groups. The Communists have shown us that. We gon‘t wish to curtail them too much for fear that in doing so we make it more difficult for other minority groups which are trying hard to be good citizens. The Communists, nct being interested in the result of their petition to the toyn council concerning the "forty raving, obnoxâ€" ious‘"‘ DP.‘s didn‘t attend the counsil meeting. Instead they chose to send one of their members to the radio station with a script reviling this paper for its attitude about the matter. The communists yap about the common man, surely he isn‘t that stupid and common that he would do the things that they propose, and have done. It is our belief thatthe â€"common man, soâ€"called, will lift himself, through democracy to something higher than mere existence on which the communists place so much emphasis, yet for which show so little concern in their country. Let‘s not hear about that D.P. again, eh fellows? This editor was in the police station at the time of the "call for help" from the Ukranian Hall at 20 Mountjoy Street. He heard the report of the police over their twoâ€"way radio and that report is in the police record today or any day which the Communists wish to check :t, ar any interested citizen for that matter. And if that repor‘ makes mention of forty persons creating a disturbâ€" ance we will print a retraction in 48 point type (largt heading type) on our front page. The whole matter was ridiculous and the communists know Iit. . It was thought to«kbe good propaganda but it backfired and they don‘t like it. "The Voice of the Bush" program had the wife of Henry Meyer ‘spouting propaganda instead of Henry who was busy nominating the stooges for council that night. Mrs. Meyer said that the Porcupine Advance was inciting lawlessness. Bosh! The Mountjoy Hall has the same recourse to police in this town as that of any other public building. All to do when there is a fracas is to call the police and respond very quickly. #s «n on " t 9e t ce o. s se h â€" Oe Atic h 5 The police vere very agile the night of November 14th and their report was given very soon after they arrived. Perhaps to the neurotic communists gathered at the building oneâ€"man proâ€" testing in a loud voice and us "obnoxious language"‘ became as 40 men. The imagination of the communist has shown wonâ€" derful resilience and stretching powers in the past and we will no doubt hear musch in the future. But for people who have sworn to ovrethrow the country by ploody revolution if they must, and whose members nave talked of "blood flowing in the streets," they are very easily frightened no doubt hear musch in the future.

In the early days of the Porcupine it was the rule to have municipal elections 3y acclamation in Timmins, while in the neighbouring township of Tisdale there was no such atmosâ€" uheie <f pease, joy, harmony and coâ€" ~verat on, not around eléction time. In more recent years, Tisdale has managed to get away from the oldâ€" time election turmoil, and has inâ€" deed, on occasicon, shown a gcood exâ€" ample to Timmins. The first five council boards in Timâ€" mins were elected by acclamation, the first mayor, W. H. Wilson, being mayor for five consecutive years. " Mayor Wilson withdrew at the end uf 1916, bu: the acclamation idea still held here. J., P, McLaughlin, pioneer merchant of the North, being elected mayor by aeclamatiox;. Dr, J. A.

United States: $3.00 Por Year protection they have the oolice Such an atâ€"ack, â€" Mr. Gardner asâ€" serted, was a challenge to all Canaâ€" dians, it placed a particular responâ€" sihility on business men. "I hold no brief," he said, "for any concern that in this day and age operates without regard to the public interest." Good business practice was the first essenâ€" tial, and, to achieve more effective public realtions, business had to tell its story more completely and in terms more readily understood by the man in the street, he asid. inz this ‘week that doctrinaire socialâ€" ism was attacking the moral and ecomnomic foundations of the nation. No Canadian,, he stressed, can hope "that it will be possible )o establish in this country some form of selective eccnomic dictatorship that will apply to others but leave him unscathed. The experience of other‘ countfties makes it perfectly clear that once regimentaticn is established, no interâ€" est or Cclass in the community can escape its toils." MONTREALâ€"B. C. Gardner, presiâ€" dent of the Bank cf,Monteral, told shareholders at the 31st annual meetâ€" In any event,.the town saved the cost of an election, and still secured the services of excellent men. After the nominations here, the people were able to relax, and get ready to put off their Christmas shopping until a day or two before Christmas, that being a feature of life in Timmins in the early Gays. Socialism Attacks Economic Basis Says B of M Pres. new town would not have election costs added to. its other expenses. These withdrawals left only five men avualified for the council, and so anâ€" other nomination had to be called to fill the vacancy. * Kven‘ this,"however, did not upset the acclamation . tradition, for the c:ily candidate to qualify at the secâ€" <â€"nd nomination was Dr. J. A. Mcâ€" Innis, who was accordingly elected by acclamation. The 1917 Timmins council included: J. P. McLaughlin, mayor, and Counâ€" cillors A. R. Globe, Dr. H. H. Moore, C. G. Williams, A l1‘ e r t Barzeau, Charies Pierce and Dr. McInnis. The outstanding _ work of this council, under all sorts of disadvantages and difficulties unknown today, seemed to warrant the good judgment of the ratepayers in following this acclamaâ€" tion plan. It is a fact beyond dispute that under the acclamation plan men of ou‘standing ability and public spirit were often found on the oldâ€" time council boards. The people of Tisdale may have lcoked after their Christmas shopping earl‘er than in Timmins, but they certainly had lots of distractions in while in the neighbouring township of Tisdale there was no such atmosâ€" uheie <f pease, joy, harmony and coâ€" <veraton, not around eléction time.

There has been a caoom 1r‘1 capital expefhditure on new plant and equipmel ‘in Canada durâ€" irg the past two years, an encouragâ€" this expansion had. notbeen matched oy an offsetting increase in saving. Tle result was competing demand for capital and consumer:.gpods and a <trong impstus to the upward sp‘ral of prices and costs.~~ terest both to stimulate saving and to retard the rate of capital outlay. The poilcy of easy money had been deâ€" vcloped in a period of deflation and unemplcyment, and he felt that there would ‘be a definite advantage in inâ€" troducing a further element of flexiâ€" bility into the interest rate structure. Further, he said, it was highly deâ€" sirable that an increased porportion or corporate financing. should be done in equity form than . through the issue of additional debt. GENERAL MANAGEN‘S ADDRESS Gordon R.

He and his slate were visitors in the fray, though he had a battle rsyal on his hands, and had he been a less able man the result might have been different. The is this to be said for that conâ€" test, fthat the nublic had the fullest opportunity to hear both sides and ‘lo weigh the questions with all the facts before them. None of the candiâ€" dates flunked any of issues. Everything was open and above: board. There may be something in the arguâ€" ment that it was all worth the price of an.election. There was no raido in those days, but every other form of pubplicity was used by the candidates.

I cannot streak too highly of the fine spirit of teamwork, enthusiasgm and devotion of which I found evidence on all sides." Gordon R.
