Timmins is gradually becoming civilized. The Citizen of that place has come out strong- ly for a cleaner town and would start in at the" Post Office lobby. Have you ever visited a town where the lawns of the residencesreach down to the sidewalk, where trees are planted, a small grass plot is between the sidewalk and the roadway and where everything lo-oks just spic and span? The Citizen asks. Suchwords as those must make readers of the paper very homesick. Timmins has accomplished much since Ben Hollinger staked the world s third largest gold mine less than twenty years ago, but the Citizen editor will find plenty of sym- pathy with his view that there are other things , in this world besides gold. A visit to the Do- minion Gladiolus Show In l_3arrie n_ext August should give him plenty of inspiration for `the. commendable program he has undertaken. :%%&w&%$&&w&%*$& : EDITORIAL commmr % %%m*w*w*%w%%%%*%% .

Robinson, for 39 years editor of The Toronto Telegram, paid striking tribute to his sterling worth. A graduate of the case and a practical printer, by sheer force of merit and ability he worked his way to the post of editor- in-chief of one of the most unique and influen- tial newspapers in Canada. He, and therefore j the newspaper whose destiny he guided, had-a definite policy and it ever reflected an ardent advocacy of imperialism and public ownership. The late Mr. Robinson could neverbe accused of quibbling or of straddling the fence on any public question. ln a most unique editorial style, appreciated most by a large urban fam- ily of Telegram readers and admirers, he hewed steadfastly to the line, let the chips Fall where they may. Very often they fell on his staunches'._ political and fraternal friends who differed with him. John R. Robinson was a hard hitter, but it was all a means to an end-the seeing through to a successful conclusion the work in hand. Any animosity displayed, if such it can be call- ed, was reserved for the editorial sanctum and the public platform. , In {J15 45111441 rap I/`\11I'\ D D/`\l1:I1(\l'\I L`QI\ `urn:-|`;`xr W53 ueuueruw uy mu: Iuuacua UL Thornton and the community to Squad-ron Leader T.

The roller cost the town $3,500 some 18 years ago, but had not been used for three years. In this interval it had dug itself in deeply in the earth back of the municipal building. Several abor- tive attempts were made to dis- lodge it by town employees. Fin- ally it was jacked up and pulled onto level ground by the.combin- eds power `of the town tractor and truck. With steam up and with the assistance of the tractor and truck the thirty or forty ,feet through the yard and over the Mulcaster 'St. sidewalk was neg- otiated safely. `The big machine was then headed south under its own power.

Jarvis always fought his political battles on the floor of the council chamber and never carried ani- mosity outside. He was usually on-the minority side and always proved himself a good loser. He was at his best, however, in a critic s role and critics in politics, as in all other things, are never popular. Industrial Evening Classes IN THE `PRINCE OF WALES SCHOOL? 3. FOSTER, Chairman. J.

There is scarcely a town in Ontario but where citizens can point to a once flourishing but now defunct business, the wreck being attributable to poli- tics. The fact cannotbe disguised that this is the one main reason why so many capable busi- ness men refuse to enter public life. A comparative newcomer to'Barrie, Mr. Jar- . vis cut quite a swath in municipal politics in less than five years. He has a faculty of saying _what he thinks and in doing so he has stepped on a considerable number of toes. But it can be said for him that he never meant anything to be taken personally. He adhered to the principle that there is a place for politics and another for business and sociability. He has `now come to the conclusion that in a town of Barrie s size these three elements cannot be se- parated entirely. Citizens generally `appreciate his position and commend him for his frank- ness. _ ...- ,.......- , in the death of John R. Robinson the weekly press of Ontario has lost a staunch friend. A graduate of a country office he understood bet- ter than most city editors the problems of the country weekly press and the people which it serves. Day in and day out, both in reportorial and typographical style, The Telegram, under his guidance, has consistently reflected this fact.
