# o BB B C O TT As a matter of fact, the places where the best coffee can be Obâ€" tained are those with the biggest and most efficient staff, and with the most modern and comfortable surrounding for their cusâ€" tomers to enjoy their coffee in. _ Only in the small holeâ€"inâ€"theâ€" wall eating places is a dime still charged for coffee, in this district. Mr. King says that it costs the restaurant operator 8% cents to provide a cup of coffee for a customer. How is it then that so many in this district supply their customers with coffee at the regâ€" uiar nickel price? Can you imagine some of the local store proâ€" prictors losing at least 3% cents on every cup of coffe they sell? n o d o N\ k §So far as we know, Canada has not undertaken any program nor vnrepared any detailed plan for the dispersal of industry to cope with atomic warfare. It is thought most people will agree that nc government could undertake the transplanting of existing large industrial units to less vulnerable areas due to the prohibitive cost it for no other reason. _ It is equally impractical to put all our key industriecs underground. There seems little doubt that Mr| King must own a restaurant. He is in the same position that the dairy industry was before the introduction of margarine into this country. He thinks that peoâ€" ple will go on paying ten cents for a cup of coffee, even if they know they are being swindled. â€"The dairymen thought the same thing, but.the price of butter has dropped nearly ten cents a pound in the last week. We are not saying that people will demand a substitute for cof â€" but we are predicting that those who continue to charge ten vonfls per cup will soon find they have lots of coffee on hand but no one to drink it. Since this country, in common with the United States, is a free democratic nation presently dedicated to the principle of free enâ€" terprise, no government should, even if it could, dictate to cac h industry that it must do. _ Therefore, for this, as well as financial reasons, it seems that whatever is done must be done by industry itsel{. . We suggest that, as a preliminary step industry can start thinking seriously about the proklem and bear it in mind when new facilities, such as branch plants are being expanded or altered due to increased volume of business, the manufacture of new linges or the replacement of plants due to obbolescence or uneconomical opâ€" eration. This of course is a lot of bunk. We have seen in this locality, hnow the best restaurants can serve coffee for a nickel a cup, and provide good coffee, not the stuff that is soaked for hours at a time in a metal urn. Fortunately and fortuitously, there is already a definite trend towards decentralization of industry for reasons other than that of defence. . This trend should be accelerated since the results of dlecentralization will be of benefit not only to industry but to the counrty at large. . There are many industrially undeveloped areas in Canada which as the normal industrial requirements for disperâ€" sal as well as the normal industrial requirements for water, power, labour, transport facilities and markets. Therefore, we suggest that any company contemplating expansion or the creation of new plants look first at areas which would not be so likely objects of atâ€" tack as would be our larger cities and our plants and installations uof strategic importance such as power plants, etc. This is a naâ€" tional problem that both government and industry should give the most serious consideration. _ At a recent meeting of the Canadian Horace Kin gof Calgary said that, "A fiveâ€" that we are in a depression."

Noath Does Not Holiday In THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ‘ The chairman of the meeting was H. N. Stickley, Hollinger Accountant, and the speaker was introduced by Lawrence Morley, of the staff of the Production Enginzecring Department. Mr. Laporte in his talk dealt with the purpzses and uses of the various principles and methods of accountancy, and more specifically with the practice of thcose principles and methods at Hollinger. In his opening remarks the speaker cutlined the development of accountâ€" ancy as it is known tcday, tracing its history to the days prior to the disâ€" cove y of the American continent. He also discussed the legal aspects of the prof2ssion and mentioned some of the requrements imposed by law on persons operating different types of businesses as to bookkeeping and acâ€" counting. "Bockkceping is not an end in itâ€" self,""* Mr. Laporte said. ‘"It is merely a means to the end. The end, or the purpose for which the books are kept, should letermine the nature and numâ€" ber of records that are used." Leo Laporte, Hollingzer‘s Assistant Ac countant. ‘"The operation of a gold mine reâ€" quirecs the greatest degree of wise direction and predetermination if it is to be done economically and effiâ€" ciently," said the speaker. "With the fixcd price of gold and rising costs to contend with, the mining industry cannot leave anything to chance. It must know its costs and at all times have a clear picture of operations." Accuracy in accounting, in the opâ€" inicn of the speaker, corresponds to the same element in other sciences and in the arts. The chronicling of certain household events will this week suffer suitâ€" able allusion at the end of the column. We intend to let them dangle with, if you will permit, impetuous imperturability. _ Reason being that or Sunday we toddled off for a cup of tea with a good friend of ours who, along with the beverage, provided us with some notes regarding local gardening enthusiasts and the Timmins and District Horticultural Society. Elain Craig of Timmins placed sixth in a society sponsored essay comâ€" petition of recent date. There were over one hundred and sixty essays entered from throughout the province; the subject being the conservation of wild flowers. And the Society received commendation at the O.M.A,. convention held this month in Teronto. John Clark, lecturer for the O.M.A. stated the Timmins Society had presented one of the best horticultural shows in the province. "Tel) me," he finally roared, "did Julius Ceasar go bald over the intraâ€" cacies of governing his achievements, or was it from the suppresion of cerâ€" ltair emotions." â€" It seems we shall have to watch the old boy closely in the future. .

Youv will see, indeed a blind man could see it, the afternton was spent in an atmosphere of dignity. . We were so moved by the tenor of the period tha‘ we intend doing the column on the theme of a Chinese proverb which goes: "If you wish to be happy for a day, get drunk; If you wish to be happy for three days, get married; If you wish to be happy for eight days, kill your pig and eat it; But if you wish to be happy forever, become a gardener." _ But our Chinese is not as good as it should be, so we gave up the idea. Anyway, we didn‘t dare snub the conventional in reporting the above for one very good reason which goes: "Now do it right or we‘ll fetch you a few smart clips on the side of the head." . What we mean to say is after al! we don‘t want to become an antipode. _ We like it here. And now for a few defamatory remarks concerning our family. _ They are growing decidedly worse. The repulsive exceptions, that is. Basis of the trouble is a cosmetic manufacturing company who have got ou‘ individual lipsticks in the form of a penny match folder. _ Our father‘s and our sisters humour got slightly out of whack when the sire tore into the lip matches in an effort to light a cigarelte. . The air was for the inâ€" sltant, so to speak, pretty colourful. Ther on Sunday the wicker seat of our mother‘s favourite rocking chair, Vc one she hides in the basement between visitors, got suddenly tired. Sho refused to change chairs and got in some lively banter with her husâ€" band regarding repairs to the seat, _ Father, with amazing logic argued tha‘ rocking chairs are decidedly difficult to repair when people are seatâ€" e upor them. â€" And by the time be had put across his point the Sunday reading scramble was over and he ended up gurgling in the pages of somecth‘ng entitled "Ginger Rogers and the Riddle of the Scarlet Cloak." Really, we haven‘t had so much fun since the time we contemplated suicidc over an unrequited high school love affair. Suicide, that is, where is thy blooming sting? It will be w.en to add that local gardening enthusiasts can gather useful information by attending the lectures given once monthly at the municipal building by Jack Robinson, Hollinger gardener. ‘The Thursday Whim‘ By J.

The land had been divided in peculiar way, with 4.245,000 on the one side of the line, and 1,279, 000 on the other. When home rulse was promised in 1914, the Northern section had threatened to rebel if this were done. . At the time of the partiâ€" tion, it wasy understood that later : plebiscite would be held by counties. Had this plan been followed, four the six separated counties would hav: voted for union. . But the voting wa n0‘ held by counties, but by sections, and while the returns in the six counâ€" ties showed a majority against a unâ€" ited Ireland, this majority was, reality, confined to a small area. Following the applauce given Rev. Er. Martindale‘s address, Past Prosiâ€" dent Jack Beattie expressed the apâ€" preciation of the club for the guest speaker‘s address, commenting that whatever difficulties Irisimen had en countered they had ever maintained their gcod humour, and also noting that had there been no trouble in Ireâ€" land, this country would have missed 2 lot ofi the finect sort of citizens.

First to emerge is serious, youngish David Lloyd, a White Hodtise assistant and member of Mrs. Roosevelt‘s American‘s for Democratics Actum yvhich until recently was the New Deal‘s own D.P. camp.

The document proves that what Lewis wants as much as "mine safety" is control over a federal bureau which in turn has considerable power over everything beneath the earth‘s surface: oil and metals, as well as coal. That‘s what this strike is all about. Now for the letter: It was written a year ago to John L. Lewis bv Dx James Boyd, chief of the Bureau of Mines, whose appointment touched off this coal strike. Pleasantly and politely, the letter told Brother Lewis that Dr Boyg would like to see the great John L. They have never met. They have never talked. Mr. L. doesn‘t know anything about Dr. Boyd except what the miners‘ reâ€" scarch dept. tells him. The Bureau spends almost 50 per cent Oof its time on petroleum alone.
