In such matters as these, while it is foolish to imagine a spy in every foreigner and conspiracy on every corner, it is criminally insane to deny possibilities that have proven actualities in other lands, At the least, the Canadjan people would do well to read and to heed the closing words of Mr. Woodside‘s article. "I suggest," he writes. "that it is time we stopped making speeches about our ‘magnificent heritage‘ and our desire to ‘live in CGermany‘s growing interest in this Dominion. Mr. Woodside makes particular reference to the case of Anticosti and its implications. On the face of it, Dutch interests were supposed to purchase the Island of Anticosti to establish a paper and pulp industry. Hon. R. B. Bennett, however, proved that it was Nazi German interests that were after the concession, and the "experts‘" sent out here to study the Island of Anticosti were nearly all miliâ€" tary experts, rather than industrial. Mr. Woodâ€" side also makes reference to the propaganda carâ€" ried on recently in Canada against the Jewish people as being inspired and organized by Nazi Germany and financed to some extent by German money. The activities in Canada of a personal agent of Hitler are also given attention in Mr. Woodside‘s article, and anyone reading the essay must admit that the writer makes out an unusually strong case. In such matters as these. while it is foolish to A Ssouth Porcupine friend of The Advance in making comment on the editorial, forwarded The Advance a page from a recent issue of Toronto Saturday Night. This page contains a thoughtful article by Mr. Wilison Woodside. It will be recallâ€" ed that some months ago Mr. Woodside delivered very illuminating addresses at Timmins and Schuâ€" macher in regard to conditions in Germany. Mr. Woodside has been a frequent visitor to Germany and he seems to have had the faculty of getting in touch with the thoughts and aims of the German people toâ€"day. The German philosophies of the present have been given the most careful study by Mr. Woodside. As a journalist and traveller he is particularly wellâ€"equipped to give views of value on the European situation. In his article in Torâ€" onto Saturday Night he refers to Nazi Germany‘s growing interest in Canada. Those who know Mr. Woodside, and those who have heard him lecture, will not need to be told that he is no alarmist. But in his article he does show some uneasiness in reâ€" gard to Germany‘s interest in Canada toâ€"day. He points out that so long as Germany‘s professed inâ€" tention of looking after its nationals in other counâ€" tries is confined to Europe, Canada has only an indirect and distant interest. _ "Supposing, howâ€" ever," says Mr. Woodside, "that Nazi Germany were to begin the same game here in Canada, organizâ€" ing the Germanâ€"speaking minority as a political spearhead, bringing pressure to bear through her trade, circulating propaganda designed to stir up race hatred, subsidizing journalists and newspapers with Fascist sympathies, and supporting and armâ€" ing Fascist gangs?" Mr. Woodside is right in sugâ€" gesting that Canada would do well to consider the case of Czechoslovakia, with the purpose of being assured that it will not happen here. Mr. Woodâ€" side asserts that there is growing evidence that Germany is attempting something along this line for Canada, and that there is need for alarm at Priest", hyxs radios in the Far North, his connection with Germany, if any, and the ideas and purposes beneath the whole thing. One explanation sugâ€" gested to The Advance is that the whole publicized affair is simply an effort to Christianize the northâ€" ern part of Canada. It is said that this "Flying Priest" did missionary work in Africa some years ago. The gentleman who gave this explanation made it with his tongue in his cheek. It does not make an acceptable explanation. In view of the conditions in Germany at the present time, and the attitude there towards religion and the churches, there is a touch of absurdity about German misâ€" sionaries setting out to the task of Christianizing any part of Canada. In view of the fact that the Roman Catholic Church of Canada and the Church of England in Canada have been carrying on misâ€" sionary work in the Far North for many years, the idea that there is special need for German misâ€" sionary work is not easy to accept. Notable work has been done in the Far North for many years by the two Canadian churches referred to. In a large measure these two churches have looked after the physical and material welfare of the people in the Hudson Bay area. An extension of this work may be needed, but it is difficult to think that it should be under German auspices. It seems the fact that even if foreign aid were desirable in such a case, it would be much better under Canadian auspices. There have been a large number of comments on the editorial in Thursday‘s Advance in regard to the "Flying Priest." Not only from Timmins, but from South Porcupine and the Dome, and Cochâ€" rane, there came good words for the editorial. The general opinion of those interested is that a comâ€" plete explanation should be made of the "Flying Subscription ates Canadaâ€"â€"$3.00 Per Year. United 8 TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontacioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association; Class ‘A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26 â€" PHONES RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO, LAKE, Owner and Publisher Timmins, Ont., Monday, Sept. 12th, 1938 Cbhe YVorruptue Aduvaurs PAGE POUR NEEDS EXPLANATION United Statesâ€"$3.50 Péer Year Word from Toronto suggested that the Hepburn government is considering the raising of the gasâ€" oline tax from six cents to seven cents per gallon. This would mean an additional three million dolâ€" lars a year from the gasoline tax and it is suggestâ€" ed that Premier Hepburn plans to hand over this three million dollars to the municipalities. Naâ€" turally, those who use gasoline will not feel that this extra taxation is any particular blessing, but there are many people, even among the motorists, who think it a step in the right direction. They argue that it would provide a new source of reâ€" venue for municipalities without adding to the alâ€" ready grievous burden borne by real estate and business. There is room for the suspicion, howâ€" ever, that business in general will have to bear the chief burden even of this form of increased tax. However, all will be inclined to admit that it isa In opposing the present trend of soâ€"called modâ€" ern education, however, The Ottawa Journal’, 18 speaking too late and in the wrong place. Colleges and universities are only for the selected few. The majority of the people toâ€"day have to be content with a public school or a high school education. Timmins has a larger proportion of university men and women than the average town of its size, perâ€" haps, but even here those without university trainâ€" ing are in the majority. All, however, are directly and vitally interested in every way in primary school education. If the "New School" hasn‘t a hidden special course of study for policemen, the matter is only an oversight. The "New School" is planning to fit pupils for nearly everythingâ€"exâ€" cept examinations. There are special studies in art work, music, hygiene, social science, economics, tommunity welfare, politics, physical jerks, lifeâ€" saving, radio announcing, woo’dwork, gardening and beauty culture. Reading, writing, arithmetic, are subordinated as not of sufficient interest to the child. Fortunately, the present race of teachâ€" ers are honest enough and capable enough to teach the youngsters a little, despite the curriculum. If ever there was cause for alarm at a tendency in education, the â€"soâ€"called "New School" gives it. Yet The Ottawa Journal hasn‘t had a word to say editorially about the "New School." Instead it reserves its guns for a special university course for policemen. Perhaps, somebody got a traffic ticket round The Ottawa Journal office lately. But why pick on the poor policemen? At the present time there are special courses and special degrees at practically all modern universities for nearly every trade and calling on the recordâ€"even for journalists. Why not a college course for policemen? for firemen? for bill collectors? for anything? A policeman with a college education might be able to enforce the parking byâ€"laws with less friction. Then, again he might not. In any event the mere preparing for a course for policeâ€" men would give the college professors an insight into the hard and thankless work of the police that might eventually result in a more general public appreciation of the ‘men in blue"â€"blue of various shades in this North, that sometimes turns into a khaki colour in the summer time. There could be a postâ€"graduate course for the Mounties. Indeed, this proposal to have a university course for the policemen should be a good thing, if for no other reason than that it offers a wonderful field for the use of the paragrapher. The Ottawa Journal last week expressed alarm, or displeasure, or horror, or something at the idea that the University of Toronto Extension Departâ€" ment was considering the establishment of a speâ€" cilal course in police work. The Ottawa Journal sees in the proposed innovation a further extenâ€" sion of the wrong idea in education. Apparently The Journal wishes to have the universities mainâ€" tained as seats of culture and learning, rather than as business college and mechanical training schools where men fit themselves for jobs in busiâ€" ness and industryâ€"jobs that unfortunately are not available toâ€"day. There may be sympathy with The Journal‘s idea for the continuance of the traditional halls of learning where more than trades were taught and where the broad cultural had precedence over the mere mechanical and maâ€" terial. As The Journal points out, there are alâ€" ready innumerable schools for the training of bookâ€"keepers, mechanics, tradesmen. It would be nice, no doubt, to retain one formTof college or university where knowledge for its own sake were emphasized, rather than the idea of preparing to take over some one else‘s job. peace with the world‘, and woke up and realized that we live in a piratic world with a number of virile, hungry nations whose mouths are watering for our ‘magnificent heritage‘ and who (to use their own words) are not disposed to tolerate that we should forever hold a whole continent to ourâ€" selves merely because we happen to get there first. I suggest that if we want to retain our national independence we had better be more on the alert to check subversive activities that divide our people and cripple our defence. We had better get the shirts off Arcand‘s and all the rest of the priâ€" vate armies now drilling in Canada. We had betâ€" ter design a farâ€"sighted immigration policy and stick to it until we have 25 million people in these spaces of ours. And, if we are to develop the naâ€" tional policy and spirit necessary to assimilate these people, we had better have less provincial badâ€"boy, showâ€"off politics, and more leadership at Ottawa."

The nssolution arising from the deâ€" pression and from the problems of reâ€" lief included a motion that requested action (presyumably through a backâ€"toâ€" theâ€"land scheme) to enable destitute famili>s to become selfâ€"supporting. The provincial government was askâ€" ed to bear the entire cost of provincial voters‘ ‘lists; the right to tax chain stores was requested by the municiâ€" palities; amendment was requested to the assessment act to provide for a poll tax on all persons between the ages of 21 and 60 years who are gainâ€" fully employed, but whose names do not mppear on the mnicipal assessâ€" ment roll; prrmission was sought for physicians and surgeons to perform sterilization operations. with the . conâ€" sent of persons to be operated on, and, in the case of persons of unsound mind, with consent of parents or guardians; and the mayors also asked the provinâ€" cial government to pass logzislation givâ€" ing municipal council power to pass on board of education estimates when the majority of the members of counâ€" cil consider such estimates too high.
