Elsewhere in this issue of The Advance will be found an article from a recent issue of The Midâ€" land Free Press, purporting to deal with employâ€" ment conditions in the North. So absurd are some of the ideas of the article that it is difficult to beâ€" lieve that any sober man from the North could make them, or that any newspaper in the South should accept at their face value the statements of a man in such a state of some kind of inebriaâ€" tion. Of course, Timmins cannot be too contempâ€" tuous about newspapers accepting stories from those under the influence of goof. ‘The man inâ€" terviewed at Midland at least was able to walk. But north and south there should be a limitâ€"even a fuzzy limitâ€"as to the acceptance of stories by the casual traveller. But then things began to happen! Actually warning has been issued to the Toronto police not to be overâ€"zealous in curbing the drunken driver‘ It is pointed out that a man may smell of liquor, and not be drunk. In one case where more than one policeman swore a man was drunkâ€"so drunk that he was most objectionable in his abuse of the policeâ€"and where ordinary good citizens were quite frank in saying the man was drunk in charge of a motor car, and where the man was actually convicted of reckless driving and the police upheld for refusing to allow him to drive the car further in his conditionâ€"in that case the police were acâ€" tually warned that they must be careful not to acâ€" cuse a man of being drunk when he might have a capacity for forty drinks and only have taken twentyâ€"nine. In other words, Toronto has reâ€". lapsed into the idea that slaps on the wrist will cure drunken drivingâ€"one slap for the driver and two for the policeman who dares to pick up ani influential guy.

The Toronto people got right up! This toll of death and damage must be stopped! There was to be an end of drunken drivers and of reckless driving. No mercy was to be shown to those who mixed alcohol and gasoline and those who ornaâ€" mented motoring with death and damage. The Toronto police were only waiting for the people to get up to get right up themselves. There seemed a chance that drunken drivers and reckless drivâ€" ing would be greatly curbed in Toronto.

Langdon, president of the Northern Onâ€" tario Associated Boards of Trade, has returned from Toronto where he was one of the delegation presenting resolutions on behalf of the North, sponsored by the Ontario Associated Boards of Trade. Mr. Langdon expresses the keenest disâ€" appointment with the attitude of Premier Hepburn and his government in the matter. In introducing the delegation, President J. J. Gibbons of the Torâ€" onto Board of Trade specially urged the kindest interest and attention of the government to the resolutions originating in the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade. He said that the Ontario Associated Boards of Trade fully endorsed the resolutions and were giving them precedence because it was felt that they were of outstanding importance. He added that the people of the North were asking no more than was reasonable â€"that after the most careful study it seemed that (the resolutions referred to deserved at least thel most earnest consideration of the government. Despite all this, and despite the effective presenâ€" tation of the case for the resolutions, only one of the proposals, and that a minor one, seemed to find any favour from Premier Hepburn and his Cabinet. The proposal that the system of land-’ clearing bonus, similar to that successfully conâ€" ducted in the province of Quebec, should be used to replace the system of direct relief now in vogue among the settlers of Ontario‘s North met with a flat refusal. The plan to do something to speedl up the development of the lignite fields north of Cochrane made little more appeal to the governâ€" ment. Premier Hepburn was definite in his reâ€" fusal to entertain the thought of appointing a royal commission to study the resources and possiâ€" bilities of the North and plan a comprehensive and ordered programme of development for this counâ€" try. He held that with two members of the Cabinâ€" et in the North the Government did not need a royal commission to show it what the North needâ€" ed or what should be done. Even in regard to the matter of roads for the North, Mr. Langdon failed to find anything like the enthusiasm that was eviâ€" denced around election time. Only on the one questionâ€"the minor one of a national park for the. Northâ€"did there appear to be any intention of meeting the resolutions even half way. In that case, however, the Government appears to be willâ€" ing to go past the place sought by the resolution. Not only will the idea of a national park in the Temagami reserve be considered,. but the delegaâ€" The people of the North are warmâ€"hearted, kind, hospitable! But the country itself is not! The man who comes here with the idea that it will be no worse to be out of work in the North thanâ€" in the South will soon find this is a mistake. For his own sake, he should have some assurance that he can secure employment before he undertakes the hardship of the journey here and the weather that will greet him on arrival. Literally thousands of men from the South, the East and the West have found work and opportunity in the prosperous North in recent years. But there is a limit to the power of absorption. That limit was reached some time ago. Surely it is no more than cruel to hold out false hopesâ€"to recommend a Sweepstakes ticket as a sure win. Hardly a day goes by but some misguided young man from the South is begging here for workâ€"any kind of work. The sad part of it is that there 4s no work for him. During the winter work in the mining industry is a little curtailed. All summer there were a thousand or more men out of work. Is there any earthly sense in encouraging young men to come here looking for work when there is less work than there was, anc more waiting to take it? idered, but the delegaâ€" ike the whole Moosonee ippointing, but the t be unduly discourâ€" ?r and progress and governmental action THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The Windsor Star recalls the fact that fifteen years ago warning was given that the supply of gasoline in the world would be exhausted in fifâ€" teen years.

Another group of doctors have worried over the idea that it is unethical for | doctors to employ any form of advertising for which they pay directly.
