One day the rulers started counting heads and they found that in Moscow alone 57,000 children were born in one year, while there had been abortions. In the villages, 242,000 births against 324,000 abortions. (Inâ€" vestia, 12.7.36) In Moscow, in the first five months there were 38 percent more divorces than registered marriages. In May, it jumped to 43 percent. (See Hansard, 5.4.50 p. 1582, go on, Ray, look it up, the facts are in every law office in Timmins, and in the town hall}. The communists all but obliterated human love, and yet this Mr. Smith had the gall to talk about it here in Timmins. Usgh. He is lucky to be allowed to talk at "We will open the meeting by singing ‘O, Canada.‘ And when I say "sing it" â€" I mean lej:’s really sing it."

The communist founder, Marx, said, after having met Feuerâ€" bach and Proudhom, from whom he got his theories, "I hate all the gods.‘" They do not consider the sanctity of marriage, or of the individual. Their philosophy derives from a mixture of materialism and class struggle, which embodies a nagation of God. S CE Crime and juvenile delinquency in the Porcupine! Huh. Piffle. The wife of Lenin estimated the number of Russian children roaming the streets, stealing, assaulting and killing, at seven million. Only seven million. O, baby, naughty, naughty h c ob _0 .. oh. â€"-what would momma say? Helen Iswolsky wrote that so great was crime and juvenile delinquency that a joint resolution of the central executive committee and the people‘s commiss_ars â€"â€"â€" one of them was Molotov â€" decreed full measure of punishâ€" ment for children over 12, while death in other cases was mandatory (Les Femmes Sovietiques, 193'7)3 all. At the Timmins Sunday meeting, there were several red speakers, one of them a fat, pastyâ€"faced Frenchman, who garâ€" bled about the "downtrodden," as did others. A sickening afâ€" fair. Thoroughly sickening. If this writer had had a bat handy, he would have been hard put to refain from hitting someone and hard. It is no wonder there broke out a riot at one of these meetings. On Sunday there was a police car close at hand outside, as Chief Lepic avers vigilance, which is indeed a good precaution. Sspeaking on "Women, a Force in Canada," Miss Nazla Dane delivered a remarkable speech â€" no men allowed â€" in Goldfields hotel on Tuesday evening. And snice sh eis reiteratâ€" ing this speech throughout the Dominion, perhaps a few comâ€" ments would be in order. "Women," she said, "can do anything they put their minds and hearts into, don‘t realize their possibilities, need more selfâ€"confidence, should grow up, boost each other, could throw a government right out of office," and should number 131 members in the House of Commons. There are women right here in Timmins who do better jobs than men do. Many of them. There was a CCF member of the House of Commons last year. A good one, too. There is now in the Ontario legislature a Miss Agnes McPhail who often speaks more solid sense in less time than many of the men, who is indeed outstanding, and alone, among men. There are many who need selfâ€"confidence, as Miss Dane says, who can do anything. True. They have a tough time, some of them cleverer than men, held back simply because they don‘t wear pants. Men are sometimes given preference just on that acâ€" count. It is not fair. It is not right,., A professional woman reâ€" quires the heart of a lion and the courage of a Joan of Arc. She wants a pretty rugged disposition to stand up in almost any field. She needs bqosting from her fellow women. This holds for professional women. Now if Miss Dane would have a cigarette and relax for a moment,. there are one or two things which might be mentionâ€" ed â€" if we may be allowed. _ PHONE 26 TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Newspaper Association Published every Thursday by Merton W. Subscription Rates: But Miss Dane goes on to say â€" and she is saying throughâ€" out Canada â€" that women in general should share running the country, 131 MP‘s in Ottawa! Miss Dane must be told. We blush to tell it. But she must be told A woman is a woman. She wants to be adored. That is her basic craving, whereas that of a man is to be â€" ahem! â€" somebody, influential, renowned. Oh, yes, a woman wants that, too; but that is not her basic crayâ€" ing. Why is it that a w o m a n asks a man to marry her? Custom? Habit? Improper? Nothing improper about it. Nothâ€" ing to stop a woman from asking a man to marry her. Why is it that she never does it? She never does it because she wants him to do it. She wants him to do it because that gratifies her craving to be adored. "It takes all the fun out of a bracelet," says Peggy Hopkins "if you have to buy it yourself." What she really means is, I want a bracelet because it indicates adoration. Conversely, a cold shoulder is a hard blow to a woman. Indication of adoraâ€" tion is where a woman "lives.‘" If, for instance, a man should send a woman flowers, expressly delivered during a party and in the presence of other women, that would tickle her entire vertebrace. The uplifting thrill of woman is the that of knowing she is possessed of a power to attract, of being wanted, of sitâ€" ting back and being sought, of running away and being chased.

Everyâ€" "we stand on opened a Ottaws can rd And ed a eryâ€" d on Cing ging Recently, z2 certain or uncertain Toronto newspaper seems to have reâ€" vived the old libel that the Porcupine Camp in its early days was a rough, wild, lawless and riotous place. Of course, the Porcupine Camp was never like that. As a matter of fact. the Porcupine Camp was as orderly and as respectable as the average Old Ontario town, though not so dull, perâ€" hcps. Compared to towns with simiâ€" lar population, such as Cobalt, Sudâ€" bury, Welland and Sault Ste.

Ee cteate ate =*cctactectoatecteatse}s Certainly, there were evils here, and crime. Even this far North is not near Heaven. The people here were human. very human. That meant tha‘ they were not saints At the same time, it meant also that they were retty gotd fellows, men and women, after all. One For All and All For One There were hardships and discomâ€" forts enough here in the early days to discourage the selfish and the mean. As in the case of the Yukon, a man or a woman had to have some messure of courage, venture and enâ€" terprise to be attracted to this land. The Yukon poet gave the motto of that land as "The Law of the Wild." It does not need poetic license to say that the lsw of the Porcupine was the Cornish motto: "One for All and All for One." That motto was not formâ€" ally or concciously announced, though there were Cornish men here from the earliest days. The pioneers here who were the best equipped to lock after themselves were the readiest to give z helping hand to others. Sgon it was evident that friendliness is the law of common sense, and that when everybody helps everybody else, then assuredly all are benefitted. Timmins wes always a friendly town, and to say that is to emphasize the fact that this town could not herefore be wild or disorderly. It is only fair to add that the other communities of the early Porcupine were just as friendly, if not more so. Oldâ€"Time Humor Despite the facts of the case, howâ€" ever. the oustide opinion of ‘Timmins in its early days was not unduly favâ€" ourable, by any means. For the wrong impressions created, the old â€" timers themselves were to blame in great measure. Their humorous excuses wes that the outside world would only accept®certain kinds of informaâ€" tion about the North and that it was no more than civility to give them what they desired. Certainly the oldâ€" timers had reasonable grounds for their assumption. More than thirty yesrs ago, when there was no high school in Timmins, the Timmins public school board sponsored evening classes for New Canadians and others here. Surely, here was something worthy of note, comething outstanding and unusual, and in advance of the times! Yet the Toronto Globe was the only outside newspaper that could be prevailed upon to comment on this enterprise. A single highâ€"grader caught about TIn The Days Tihen The porcupine Tdas Doung a person much concerned with being in the "the movement." For the social butterfly the constituents of the movement are chiefly drips, fops, theatres, dances, noise â€" and hurry. She spends her days and nights being in. publi¢, or in preparing to be in public, or ih recovering from the effects of being in pub: lic. A woman abhorrs mental effort. She is not thrilled by a great play, a noble speech, a sonata â€"as is a man. Some of them, yes, but not generally. The give and take of fine debate does not excite her, nor does the art of government. And that if we may be allowed â€" is why Miss Dane‘s "ambition of seeing 131 women MP‘s in Ottawa" is both preposterous and absurd. "Woman is the lesser man, and all your passions, matched mine, are as moonlight unto sunlight, and as water unto wine." (V., 83, Locksley Hall, Tennyson). No doubt there could be more outstanding professional women. But we still suspect that a woman‘s best bet is a tall mirror in her room and a tiny one in her purse. For she supâ€" plies that one element which no man, however brilliant, can supply, the element of feminity, without which the world would be black and intolerable. Women are wonderful and charming and generally, in their natural and proper place, the home â€" they raise men and give them impetus to live well; they are remembered as mothers and wives, the best friends men ever had, the most delightful of creatures, and a constant comfort throughout the years. The Timmins police often visited a certain house because liquor was sold there. They raided it often. Once they found a young lady suffering from a cut in the head, caused by an axe, and furniture smashed. The police found the man alleged to have wielded the axe. He said: "One night I go to that house for a few drinks, but not $70 worth. The next day I remember I have seventy dollars more the night before. I go back to get my money. They chase me away. So I go back again and axe them for my money. That‘s all." (Excerpt from, "In the Days When" No. 145). C "Until death do you part does not mean until you feel like changing your partner, until one‘s temper gets out of gear, until one gets tired of the other because of soâ€"called mental cruelty, because one party starts smoking in bed or snores or likes playing poker too much. It is until death. It is about time we declared that maritial infidelity is an offence against the morale of society. It is about time we declared that frivolity of the union is a crime."

Timmins: in comparatively early days wis the inspiration for the instiâ€" tution of the Ontario Department of ECucation correspondence courses for children in sparsely settled areas and for others not able to attend school. Through these courses literally tens of thousands of children have been educated who would otherwise have been deprived of any chance for eduâ€" cation. This good work received less outside attention than wss given to me case of an illicit still discovered n Deloro township. Joking the Jokers Oldâ€"timers used to have a heap of iun telling outsiders what they thought the visitors wished to know. The interview Neh Fsulkenham gave a New York reporter over thirty years ago was a classic in its line. "I have prospected in the Klonâ€" dyke," Neh said, "and in Arizona, South Africs, Australia and New Jersey." The little group around the stove in the Ideal Roomink house hall alcove nodded their heads. They knew that Neh had prospected round the globe, <though one man‘s eyebrows went up at the mention of New Jersey. "And I tell you," Neh continued solemnly and ezsrnestly, "that none of them have half the gold that will be found right here in Porcupine." But the reporter was not setisfied until Neh concluded: "And I tell you that the cold and snow in Porcupine are worse than the Klondyke ever knows:; the summer heat is worse than South Africa: the sand is more to be dreaded then the Arizona desert; and the Porcupine black flies are bigger and more vicious than New Jersey masquitoes." The little crowd â€" beamed _ its approval Neh chuckled after the reporter left. "I gave him just what he wanted He would mqccept none other." he contended. On The Other Hand some old â€". timer would make up apt retort when he asked for the kind of information he was expected to give. A. S. Fuller, a pioneer broker of the Porcupine, heod a case of this kind on a visit to Cleveland in 1919. The Plain Dealer reporter was not satisfied when Mr. Fuller pointed out that in an area of some eight miles square there were some nine producing mines, and though six of them hzad not been able to keep working, owing to war conâ€" ditions. the other three were producâ€" ing gold at the rate of a million dolâ€" lars worth a month. "I suppose conditions up there are wild and fierce?" the reporter asked, hopefully. Mr. Fuller had other facts and figures of interest to give, but he knew it was no use. "Yes!" he sighed. "Frontier life is tough. There are hardships unbeliovâ€" able. But I‘m going back to it. If vron‘t be too bad until I get to Toâ€" ronto. Then there‘s nothing for me A Booze By Any Other Name but to take a Pullman to Timmins. Thereo‘ll be z chauffeur and a Buick waiting for me at the station to take me to the lodge at the mine. Believe me that lodge isn‘t any better than a $100.00 a month apartment in Cleveâ€" land. It surely is a hard life. We have our country club. golf, tinnis and all the other sports. We haven‘t anything to do but work and amuse ourselves. And our wives will hardly look at a gown if it doesn‘t come from Paris." Mort of the interview appeared in due course in the Cleveland Plain Desler the editor of which checked on the facts and found Mr. Fuller‘s "hardships" had more solid foundaâ€" tion than some of the stories of blind pigs and highâ€"graders. An Excuse for the Stories During the time the Ontario Temâ€" perance Act wes in force, the chief call from outside was for stories of the exploits of the blindâ€"piggers of the North. There was a suspicion here (and it was wollâ€"founded) that other COntario towns sasnd cities had as many illicit dealers in intoxicants as any place in the North, but it was not expedient to tzlk about those so close to home. Not suffering from so many inhibitions, Northern blindâ€" piggers showed much more originality than was evidenced by their fellows in the South. It may be that the inâ€" genious methods of bringing liquor into the north had a fascination for thirsty souls in the South. In any event liquor was brought in here disguised as nearly everything from macaroni to knitted wear and from soup to the other kind of dynamite. Death of the Coffin Story A favourite was the yarn often appearing of liquor being transported in coffins. This was absurd on its face. In those days the greater numâ€" ber of those dying here were shipped to former homes in the South. It vrould have been so unusual for anyâ€" one to be brought to Timmins from any Cistent point for burial that atâ€" tention would. have been aroused. Empty coffins would pass the Provinâ€" cial police without difficulty, unless they appeared to be of undue weight, or "swished" when moved, but an overâ€"weight coffin would have been sure to have been stopped in those days. On the other hand, it is unthinkâ€" able that any liquor should have been shipped out from the North in a coffin or in any other container, except a human one. The supply of liquor here never was known to exceed the local demand. It is true that in the early days there were a number in the district who made homeâ€"brew, as it was called while the police court records prove that there were several stills in operaâ€" tion in the dzys of the Ontario Temâ€" perance Act. But the liquor produced in these ways could not hope to comâ€" pete for quality with what the South progcuced at the time. There was, perhaps, one exception. It was said that some of the settlers in Mountjoy 2 Are such payment to, or approved by, the Transport? Mr. Chevrier: home about. The qur vould not begin to appri mand.

DOCTORS OVERTAXED To The Advance: Sir, St. Mary‘s patients not treated thoroughly? Maladies linger indefiâ€" nitely? A couple of friends have questioned the truth of my contention. May I plesse refer to Dr. Sam J. Jessel, proâ€" sident of the Porcupine District Mediâ€" cal Society, who in February stated publicly, this: "Patients are being denied modern facilities. The resource of doctors is overtaxed in treating patients in unâ€" favorcble conditions. What is the good of curing a patient if she is to be sent home in a weak condition? All too often the result is a relapse or a chronically ill patient. Unless more ‘beds are made available gravs consequences may result." To The Advance, Sir, The government has to giving particulars regarding the subordinate employees of the C.N.R. but objects giving details regarding retirement allowances granted to the "Brase." S.

House of Commons, Ottawa, Mr. Diefenbaker: 1.

He can see no sense in a Canada First policy. It is something the same as when the CPR was built, when business dictated that perhaps we should not build from coastâ€"toâ€"coast in Canada, but should use U.S. railroads for part of their length. Fortunately, national policy won. And this was the first assurance that we would have an independent nation north of 49th parallel. i To my mind the issue in this gas pipe line is exactly the sameâ€"shall we further Policy and deâ€" velop Canada first or shall we yield to the dictate of pure business econâ€" omics and sacrifice Canadian nationâ€" al interests and development to the more immediate profit to be gained by exporting our raw materials imâ€" mediately to the United States in their unfinished form.
