Suppose the Governor General is impressed with the Legion Hall and says, "Very handsome, I must sayâ€" and could I see the Honor Roll? What are they going to say? In Quebec, even in Quebee, in Lenâ€" noxville, for instance, a town half the size of Schumacher, zn Honor Roll is set up plumb in the middle of the town for all to See. In Timmins, no one seems to even know who died. As for the number of 20,000,000 in concentration camps, I must tell you thcet this is an aggregate figure com; ing from the facts that there are still 1,500,000 German soldiers in the camps as stated by Adenauer two weeks ago. I have in my own townpn, 2. Polish soldier from whom I have received â€" conmsiderable information. He was in a concentration camp and he lost half of his family. Let me tell you that my estimztion is not too If he has not been in hbw can he tell his audicnce that there are no slave labour or concentration camps. In a book written by John Fisher, ‘"Why do they behave likp Russizns," you will see that thta man has been in Ukraine and Rus. sia: twolve. years when working for UNRRA. In reading this book whica is very objective, you will see in that country everyone is spotted and spied. I am not‘ relying on the Dean or on Alaric Jacobs or on Robert Parker to gather information about concentraâ€" tion camps. My young Polish friend has been there, he has suffered in these campce with all his family. He has seen many of these camps before and during the last war: I believe he is a better zuthority than anyone who has been circulating with an as the aboveâ€"mentioned so â€" called authorities had to. Dear Sir, those are quésâ€" tions that he could not answer withâ€" out trying to sidetrack, because he must have found out that foreign newspapers or foreign broadcasts are not allowed in Russia. Those who get them do so from the underground, 3. Have you been permxtted to circulate in Russia alone? 6. Have you ever seen newspapers sold on the streets or at a newspaper stand? 5. Have you ever read foreigh newspapers while in Russia? 4. Have you ever heard a broadâ€", cast coming from the Western Nations or short waves? The Dean‘s explanztion on the Rusâ€" sian election is what you may call silly. He tries to explain why there is only one candidate, but he never tries to explain why the only candiâ€" date must be a communist. When the Dean says that there is freedom or religion in Russia, he is talking against the general opinion in the world. In resume, why does he not read the U.S.S.R. constitution and the constitution of the Third Internaâ€" tional: he would be a little more cauâ€" tious in his taiks on peace. Does he know that education is given freely to the children but that they have to learn communist philoâ€" sophy and are never allowed to com. pare with other systems. Excuse me for being so lengthy in my remarks, I just wanted to help.. PIERRE GAUTHIER, M.D., M.P. House of Commons, 11.5.50. DESPERATE SITUATION? To The Advance: Sir, Paralysis is spreading. The situaâ€" tion is desperate. Small businesses are corroded with fear. The average family is reduced to the barest level; of subsistance. Trade is drying up. Corporation profits are at ah allâ€"time peak. The stage is set for what may be the greatest disaster in our history. The black plague of free enterprise. . . I regret I am not in a position to comment on the legality of other forms of gambling, such as Bingo and card games. That is s matter on which the Attorney General‘s Branch of your province can give you information. giembling, such as betting on horse races at a race track, are legal in Canada. Here again, such gains are regarded as capital gains in most cirâ€" cumstances. If, however, a man enâ€" gaged solely in gambling on horse races as a profession, then his net earnings from this source would be regarded as his income znd taxed as income. He could of course,. in this case, deduct his losses from his win. nings. Many thanks indeed for your kind letter. I am glad you enioyed the speech on economies addréssed to Mr. Abbott.. He seemed to take grost interest in it and professed to enjoy it; it remains to be seen whether he. will enjoy as much the concrete motions for reductions in expendiâ€" ture which we intend to make when considering the estimaftés in detail. 170 Birch Street, North Timmings. 24.10.47. From my scanty knowledge of horseâ€"racing in Canada howev>r, I think it very umlikely that anyone could make a regular living <solely through betting on horse races. SWEEPSTAKE TAX FREE To The Advance: Sir, E. D. FULTON House of Commons, 11.5.50. NOTE:â€"Mr. Ray Stevenson wrote this letter to The Advance nearly three years ago. â€"Ed. I acknowledge receipt of your letter, of May 9th, enquiring whether there is a tax on sweepstake earnings. Under Canadian law a sweepstake prize is not regarded as income and so is not subject to income tax. As we have no Czpital Gains Tax, such earnâ€" ings are, therefore, taxâ€"free. In the United States, on the other hand, there is a Capital Gains Téx and so such <weepsta)ge wmamgs are,, subâ€",‘ ject to this tax.. ;, B !'t‘f As you point out, certam forms of No Talent Requtired The PFonCcUrins ADV JAMES SINCLAIR, Parliamentiry Asst. to the Minister of Finance. VANCE, Tudidmilio, GinrAlid W § in ‘Ctbe D; $ $ d 1 c L ks 4 s ies 2 x: In the early days of the Porcupine Camp outside newspapers appeared to believe that the only features of interest in this new town were: Snow, cold, bush fires, black flies, bootlegâ€" gers and highâ€"graders. Yes! On <more than one occasion bush fires threatened the new town of Timmins, but this danger never developed to the tragic end suffered by most of the other towns of this North. As for blackâ€"flies the town usually was remarkably free from these little pests. â€" Anyone wishing to be kissed by a blackâ€"fly had to go down thy; River Road, then outside the town limits, being in the townsite of Matâ€" tasgami Heights. There were always a few blackâ€"flies there. Scottie Mac.â€" farlane used to say that they would ride on your neck all the way to the river and back, but as soon as you struck Mountjoy Street the blackâ€"flies jumped off, though you would rememâ€" ber for days after that they had been on your neck. Of course, there was cold weather in those days, and there even was snow at times, though it was a rare time when there was more snow than the pioneers knew how to handle. It is true that from time to time men, and even women, were fined or imprisoned for breaking the liquor laws and others were convicted of the offence of illegal possession of gold. so it has to be <admitted that tha chances are that there were really some ‘blindpiggers and highâ€" gradels in this town. The Real Outstanding Features But dwelling on these things does not give any true picture of the‘ Timmins of long ago. These things were merely incidentals that were overâ€"emphasized by outsiders. There is some reason to suspect that this overâ€"emphasis developed from the fact that Timmins did more than the ordingry town of those days to keep all the aforementioned things under proper curbs, even though that meant unfavourable, but popular publicity. ~*ae*s _ c fioww*}{“”:n:“:“:o@o:““o\\o:“:o@om“:.{“: :QQ:n:oo:“:oo:n:»:n:»:“:“:oo:oq:o.:o{“:“:“:“:“:“:“:..:. stee®s 82 ctectoa®octoc®se}s No. 148 The First Evening Classes In Timmins It would be much closer to the reâ€" cord and the facts of the case to say thct in the early days, Timmins and the whole Porcupine, area featured Education, Health, and Fire Protecâ€" tion and Prevention,. It would be dif. ficult to say which came first, but the statement is true, no matter which the order. Health was looked after from so many angles that Timmins escaped all the epidemics that seem to harass the ordinary new and growing town. As ezsrly as 1917, Timmins had a fire Gepartment that would do credit to any town of twice the size. Timmins had an excellent waterâ€" works system long before it had a reâ€" spectable town hall. There were costly schools a time when many went sidewalks. 63 To the mayods andâ€" town councils of early days, to the Medical Health Officers (especially Dr. H. H. Moore), to the school boards, the Board of Trade and other leaders, there is much credit due for the emphasis placed on the three essentials, Health Education and Fire Protection, but at the same time there must be due honour. given to the people in general Opportunity For All Not content with providing costly mocern schools for public and separâ€" ate school children, Timmins as early as 1919 decided to extend the opporâ€" {unity for education to adults. At the time there were many here who were handicapped in their work and in their lives by their lack cof knowledge of the English language.

The answer to these desires seemed to lie in the evening classs sponsord by the Ontario Department of Education. An Earnest Public School Bsard At the time, it was generslly beâ€" lieved that only High Schools were able to handle these evening classes. There was no High School in Timâ€" mins in 1919, but that did not stop the Timmins Public School Board. The Department of Education was inter.â€" viewed in the matter, and in Novemâ€" ber of that same year, 1919, Dr. J. C. Millér was sent here by the Departâ€" ment at Toronto. He spent three days here, having personal conferences with the members of the Public School Board. the Separate School Board, the mine managers, the Mine and Mill Smelter Workers Union, and others, and received hearty coâ€" cperation from them all. Dr. Miller‘s annual report, published in 1820, was given extended space in The Porcuâ€" pine Adv:snce. This report showed the success of the first evening clasâ€" ses in Timmins. First Evening Classes a Success After reviewing the preliminary steps in organizing the evening clasâ€" ses here, Dr. Miller‘s report comâ€" mented on thgir success. The classes started on Jznuary 1920, and were carried through March. The January attendance was 81, while the figure for Februsry was 99, and for March 92. Dr. Miller commented that the average attendance at the classes wos "quite good," particularly for a first year. Instruction. the report pointed out. for the 1920 classes was limited to a courses. Instruction was offered in machine drawing, shop nsathematics,. arithmetic,.â€" chemistry dressâ€"making, and English for the nonâ€"English spetcking. One paragraph in the report seems to be worthy tf reproduction in full. Praise For Instructors Dr. Miller‘s report had this paraâ€" graph: "The interest of the instructâ€" ors in their work and in the indiviâ€" dual students was excellent and the quality of instruction very good inâ€" deed, considerinsg that this was the first year the evening classes had been attempted. Principal Carter has devoted himself unreservedly to the interests of the day school and the evening classes. The success of the evening classes is due in large moaâ€" sure to his organizing ability and his effort to interest all those,. who would be benefitted by the services of the evening classes." Most of those who attended those first evening classes were even more enthusiastic in their praise of Princiâ€" pal C. S. Carter and the other inâ€" structors. There were several nationâ€" alities represented in the evening classes, with the ages of the students ranging from a little over fourteen to quite a bit over seventy. All claimâ€" By G. A. Macdonald ed that they had been greatly bene.â€" fitted, and hcad enjoyed the classes as well. Even Better the Second Year , _ With the success of the first ysar to encourage them, and the knowledg> gained in the first classes, the Public School Board‘s committee launched the second series of evening classes on October 190th, 1920, the classes conâ€" tinuing to the end of March, 1921. The â€"committee included: Dayton Ostrosser (chairman), M. B. Scott, R. J. Jemmett, E. S. Noble, Wm. De Feau and Chas. Kemsley. The second series of evening classes commenced with the knowledge that the earlier classes had won the name of being among the very best in the, Province. The committee were deâ€" termined that the second prize should b even better than the first. In addition to increasing the numâ€" ber of subjects in which instruction would be given in the 1920â€"1921 evenâ€" ing classes, the committee let it be known that if any considersble nunmâ€" ber wished any subject not on the, curriculum effort would «be madse to meet the call. Through the columns of The Porcupine Advance the comâ€" mittes made it plain that all reasonâ€" sble demands would be met in regard to courses.

Again in the second series of evenâ€" ing classes, instruction in English for the nonâ€"Englishâ€"speaking was featurâ€" ed. On account of the cosmopolitan population of the Camp, this course has been perticularly valuable through the years. Bookâ€"keeping was another subject in which Principal Carter‘s instrucâ€" tion was both popular and advanâ€" tzgeous. At the time, The Porcupine Advance commented to the effect that the names of the several instructors was complete assurance that the teaching would be the best. as all had wide experience and deep practical knowâ€" ledge of the subjects with which they dealt. _ _ _ â€"TRIPS EACH WAY EVERY DAY LEAVE NORTH BAY 9.40 a.m. 4.25 p.m. 1 1.45 p.a Daylight Time $6.40 $11.55 UNION BUS TERMINAL NORTH BAY The Advance Want Ads PHONE 101â€"2â€"3
