In a column reviewing events of seven years ago The Haileyburian last week quoted from its own fyles of the year 1923 in reference to the cool and clever action of a young, girl at Krugersdorf. "Claudia Tennant, 14â€"yearâ€"old Kruâ€" gersdorf girl," said The Haileyburian, "who flagged a train with her hat near her home when she discovered a broken CE CE PeCE e rail in the track, was presented by Geo. W. Lee, of the T. N. O. Commission, with a gold watch and $25.00 in cash as reward for her presence of mind." Seven years after the event it will be frankly acknowledged by all that it was fitâ€" ting that so useful a service should be rewarded, and all who know Mr. Lee, now chairman of the T. N. 0. Commission feel that he is the sort of a man who would be ready to show appreciation for the cleverness and coolness and thoughtfulâ€" ness of this young girl. Her prompt action may easily have been the means of saving valuable lives and property. Mr. Lee would be very ready to realize this and just as ready to show appreciation in public way. A week or two ago the very prompt and thoughtful action of an express messenger, Wilfred Dickey, was a material factor in avoiding a very serious accident on the T. N. O. railway. As the train was passing over the high embankment at Dickson‘s Creek where the foods had created so much havoc a few days ago, the express messenger noted that a car ahead was swaying as if it had left the track. Without an instant‘s hesitation he pulled the emergency signal cord thus letting the engineer know that something was wrong. The engineer responded to the signal with equal promptitude. The result was that only the one car left the rails and what might have been a serious tragedy was only a minor accident, thanks to the prompt action and the keen thoughtfulness of the express messenger and the engineer. It may be considered that it is the duty of all connected with the train service to exerâ€" cise the greatest watchfulness and use the greatest skill in the protection of the public. This, of course, is the fact, and at the same time it should be noted that the employees of the T. N. O. are especially able in these regards as the records of the railway prove. The T. N. O. has the reâ€" putation of never having caused the death of a passenger on its line. The employees of the railroad must be imbued not only with the spirit of service but also with the gifts of skill and carefulness to maintain such a record for so many years. It might be well to show public appreciation of these facts and particular recognition of the service recently givâ€" en by that express messenger would be a good way to exâ€" press this. In cases like this a man does more than his mere duty and the service may well be recognized in public way. It is easy to picture the tragedy that might have reâ€" sulted from a serious wreck on the embankment at Dickâ€" son‘s Creek. It was the keen perception and the prompt thought of Express Messenger Dickey that avoided the probability of loss of life and property. If Chairman Geo. W. Lee makes public recognition and reward of the express messenger and the engineer, he will meet the same approyâ€" al that he was given seven years ago when he publicly exâ€" pressed the general appreciation for the service given by that fourteenâ€"yearâ€"old girl at Krugersdorf. A writer in The Toronto Globe suggests that cairns or tablets be erected in various parts of Ontario to commemâ€" orate the noble lives of the pioneers on whose toil and strugâ€" gles were founded the building and the progress of this province. The writer in question points out that there is a danger that even the names of some of the worthy pioneers of Ontario may be forgotten. That would be regrettable, but it is still more regrettable that pioneers now living and strugg‘ling should not receive some meed of the honour due them. Look at the pioneers in this North! By their strugâ€" gles and their privations, there will be built a prosperous and progressive land. They will give their lives to the battle and future generations will reap the reward. It would be well, indeed, to build cairns and tablets to commemorate the useful and honourable lives of the worthy pioneers of older Ontario. And it would be still more fitting to build monuments to the pioneers of toâ€"day. The pioneers of toâ€"day in this North do not desire cairns or tablets. Betâ€" ter monuments than these may be built. Build roads and roads and more roads in honour of the men who gallantly are facing hardships equal to those endured by the pionâ€" eers of many years ago. This would be true honour to the pioneers of toâ€"day; it would be honour to the nation:; and best of all, it would be a material help to the pioneer of toâ€" day in building homes and farms and a prosperous country in this new land. Elsewhere in this issue will be found a letter from Mr. Stephenson, editor of The Northern Tribune, suggesting that the sports organizations of the Porcupine might take part in a big day of sports at Kapuskasing on the day of the excursion to the Experimental Farm at that place. In such Thursday, July 24th, 1930 Timmins, Ont., Thursday, July 24th, 193 GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER The Advance has persistently urged the making of lawns and gardens, the planting of trees and any and every other measure for the beautifying of the town. Such town improvement makes the community so much the more agreeable as a place of residence, and so has distinct value. For this reason praise has never been withheld from the Horticultural Society and the individuals that have striven to imâ€" prove the appearance of the town by lawns and gardens and trees. Timâ€" mins at the commencement had few advantages in this regard and the genâ€" eral appearance of the town toâ€"day is consccquently a notable credit to all reâ€" sponsible for the many beauty spots. The park at th»> station, for example, gives visitors a very pleasing impresâ€" sion on arrival here by trains, and the many beautiful lawns and gardens bear out this good impression later. The beautifving of the town would be well worth while for the benefit of the citâ€" izens alone and the advantage that such beauty unquestionably does give. But there are other values to such work. Some of these are indicated in a resent editorial in The Goderich Sigâ€" BEAUTY HAS A VALUE OF ITS QOWN TX COMMUNITIES Yormmirte Aduaner Published Every Thursday by: GEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: $2.00 per year United States.. $3.00 per year Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association PHONESâ€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 ONTARIO s nal. In Commenting on an article in the St. Mary‘s newspaper, The Signal saysâ€" "Something new and most commendâ€" able in the way of journalistic effort on the part of a weekly newspaper was the review in The Journalâ€"Argus of St. Marys last week of the beautiâ€" ful flower gardens of that town. We imagine that St. Marys, like Goderich, has been hidhf; its light under a bushe!l with respect to its gorgeous flower gardens, which during the past few weeks have been at their best. The Journalâ€"Argus teolls how formâ€" er unsightly areas have been transâ€" formed into spots of beauty. Out of the ashes af an old dumping ground have arisen two lovely stucco houses, with all kinds of shrubbery, fowers and ferns combined with the green sward. Flagstone paths have been put in, running through a trellised perâ€" gola, covered with climbing roses at the time of the visit of the newspaperman. Â¥oung trees are now flourishing where before there was simply a tract of barâ€" ren ground. The newspaper goes on to relate how equally unsightly spots have been beautified and highly praisâ€" es the effort of those reswnsible, well it might. In these days of the motor tourist ~besutiful streets and a case there would be enough attendance from this district to make a special train profitable and so it would be posâ€" sible for large numbers from this area to visit Kapuskasing with its many attractions and the Experim_ental Farm with Lk diccth t en s 204. J it many valuable lwsons and suggest.ions to the settlers of this North Land. In view of the fact that the date of the annual Experimental Farm day has not yet been definitely announced, and especially as it is possible that the event may be as early as within the next ten days, there does not appear to be sufficient time to interest the sporting groups in the district in the plan. It would be an excellent thing if the interest could be roused and the scheme successfully carried through. But in any case it does seem desirable that arrangements be made for a special train from the area south of Cochrane to enjoy the annual big day at the Kaâ€" puskasing Farm. Settlers would find the visit to Kapusâ€" kasing of great value, and all others interested in the North would be pleased and advantaged by such a visit. Under present train connections there can be no large attendance from this district. It costs too much in money and in time tost. The T. N. O. has worked steadily and is working toâ€"day for the development of the North and to bind the various sections of this country more closely together. There is nothing that so tends to greater coâ€"operation and understanding than what may be termed ‘"interâ€"town" visits. To the majority of the people in this district a visit to Kaâ€" puskasing would be a genuine treat.. It would inspire greatâ€" er faith and confidence in the possibilitiee of this North Land. To many it would be a revelation of the potential wealth of this North. From the train window on the way to Kapuskasing there would be deep impression made by the succession of apparently thriving farming communities, At Kapuskasing itself they would see a little city that for modâ€" ern conveniences and comforts rivals Timmins, and that for natural beauty of situation and the advantage taken for building a town beautiful excells even the famous beauty spot of the North, Iroquois Falls The North wants the South to know this big country and its possibilities. One way to help accomplish the spreading of this knowledge is for each part of the North to know each other part. So will the different problems of the North be the more fully unâ€" derstood and the whole North stand as a unit for the genâ€" eral progress and advancement. A special train from Timâ€" mins to enable all who wish to attend the big day at Kapusâ€" kasing would appear to be a profitable investment from the standpoint of the benefit of the North, even though it lost money from a strictly financial viewpoint. In the month of April of this year The Advance protestâ€" ed against the rate of pay being given to men working on the new extension of the T. N. O. railway north of Cochâ€" rane. It was learned that the contractor was giving men only thirty cents per hour, with one dollar and five cents per day off this amount for board. "This certainly does not appear to be a living wage," said The Advance at the time, "nor one in keeping with the class of work to be done and the conditions under which it must be done. The rate of pay alone is a preference for those not of Canadian or other British standards of living." When the question was taken up with Geo. W. Lee, chairman of the T. N. O. Commisâ€" sion. that official said that the railway required the contracâ€" tors to pay a fair rate of wages, the contract under which the work is being done making the stipulation that proper wages and conditions must be observed. It was later learnâ€" ed that the contract required the contractors to pay the "prevailing rate of wages." At first glance it might seem that a fair rate of wages would be the prevailing rate, but of course in no line except the strictly unionized is there any definite "prevailing rate." The contractors could point to the rate of pay given to extra gangs of men employed by the Canadian National Railways, not to mention the Canadian Pacific Railway. The wages paid by these railways is o more than that given by the contractors. Thus; for the present at least, the contractors on the Ontario Government railway construction can claim that they are paying a preâ€" vailing scale of wages when they equal that of other railâ€" wavys. The fact is, however, that it is a fair rate rather than a prevailing rate that is desired and required. The Dominâ€" icn Government Railway, as well as the Provincial Governâ€" ment Railway should see that the rate of wages paid men employed is fair and proper, irrespective of whether it "preâ€" vails" generally or not. At the same time as the objection to the wage scale stated, The Advance referred to the claim that preference was given to the foreigâ€" ners on the railway construction work north of Cochrane. This was a point not covered by the contract. Future contracts, The Advance understands will carry a clause insisting that preference be given in the way of emâ€" ployment to Britishers and particularly to Canadians. Such a clause is reported as inserted in recent contracts. To this should be added another clause insisting that fair living wage shall prevail. Through the advertising columns of The Advance for the past few weeks The Conservative party has been presenting its policy and platform. Voters in this North Land should study this policy and platform and vote with a view to the benefit of this district, the North and the country in general. It is only a few days now until election day. The time for the presentation of new arguments or the reâ€"iteration of old ones seems to have passed. What remains to be done is to consider the arguments already advanced and to vote in the interests of the people and the country. For the people of this riding the issues that seem of paramount importance are those of unemployment and the Transâ€"Canada highway. The right way to vote appears to be plain. Surely at this election time, everybody is agreed that there should be a North Land Senator! homes are the best advertisement a town can have. They are the inspirâ€" ation for return visits. Let it be said in this respect that Goderich need ncot take off its hat to any town in Ontario, and has the added advantage of gorgâ€" eous wide streets and beautiful bouleâ€" vards. As a matter of fact a visitor the other day remarked that the enâ€" gineer who planned Goderich must have had a premonition that the motor car would one day be the most popular and economical mode of transportation and the tourists business one of the Province‘s most thriving industries." Porth Arthur News Chronicle:â€"If the alrmists are right this country will soon be on the verge of a timber famine. If the fire rate established this year is held or even approached th> time n2amed will be altogether too far away. One of the most pessimistic chaps writing about the timber and wood supply sets the time of famine at twentyâ€"fivre years. Since the Ontario Government has guaranteed at least one of the big paper mills wood for forty years, it will have to make measâ€" ures to make good its guarantee.

July 27th Date for the Second Annual Big Swim Last year‘s big swimming marathon event at Golden City created considerâ€" able interest, and the second annua‘ event this year at Golden City under the austiices of the Goldfield Drug Co. Limited promises to be even more sucâ€" cessful. There are more events this year to add to the interest of the ccâ€" casion and there is a very attractive list of valuable cups and other prize. for the various features of the day. The second annual big swim at Golden this year will be held on July 27th, and it is felt that the earlier date selected this season will increase the number cf contestants, as well as giving all enâ€" tries a much better opportunity tha: the date last year. The event last year was a very pleasing success but it is confidently expected that the 1930 swim will put the 1929 one in the shade. There will be three events:â€"2@ 2â€"mile swim: starting at South Porcupine and finishing at Golden City, open to all; a 1â€"mile swim, starting at Golden City and ending there, open to all; and a halfâ€"mile ‘swim, for ladies only. Entries must be made to either Col. Scobel or Karl Eyre. The handsome trophies for the contests have been on exhibition at the Goldfield Drug Store. says:â€"â€" "Success in advertising, as in anyâ€" thing else, is a matter of keeping everâ€" lastingly at it.

Mountains are worn away by rainâ€"drops, grass can cleave granite, the adoring knees of multitudes wear down stone stairways leading to sacred shrines. And as for the human mind, it obeys no law more submissively than that of use. To be familiar with someâ€" thing soon merges into a feeling closely akin to affection.

He finds that a man of seventy has usually spent about nineteen years working, twentyâ€"three years in bed, nine years amusing himself or being amused, one year in church, and two years shaving himself. This last portion of time he seems to consider as one cf the great wastes of life. But, trying to what we would look like if we all wore beards, we are not inclined to agree with him. Even if we did save some time from shaving there isn‘t any real guarantee that we would pu: that time to any better uses.
