There is a colourful book on the desk today! And can you imagine what it is? No less than the Voters‘ List, 1938, for the Town of Timmins! Selâ€" dom are Voters‘ Lists or Government Reports searched for local colour. But that is because people take too many things for granted. Nathâ€" aniel Hawthorne found romance in the dusty docuâ€" ments of a customs office. Sidney Roe is doing the same at the National Re’enue office at Ottawa. Why shouldn‘t there be colour in a municipal voters‘ list, especially in a colourful town like Timmins that has combed the wide world for its population? There is colour enough in the 1938 Voters‘ List. Browns seem to be the prevailing shades, but Blacks are also popular, with Whites well in the running. Subâ€"division No. 1 has a Dye and i{ anything is colourful Dye surely is. There doesn‘t appear to be a Red in the list, but Ruddy appears more than once, which is better. The absence of Pink also will not be a particular grievance these days. Among the less striking colours may be found, Dunn, Rusk, Russett. And the Roses give colour to many a page. There isn‘t a Canary, but perhaps Kinnari is close enough. There are many Greys and Grays. And Salmon gives colour to one subâ€"division. One name on the list is Fong Light, and if a Chinese Light doesn‘t give colour, what will? Timmins, Ont,, Thurs., October 20th, 1938 There are several Brunettes, but the Blondes appear to be missed this time. There are lots of Greens, without a Paddy Green But to offset this there is a Paddy Cherry. Naturally in‘ this camp Gold will be found and Golden, the world‘s most soughtâ€"after colour. There is more than mere colour to this Voters‘ List, however. At the front of the bookâ€"a book of 180 pagesâ€"there is a very useful map of the town of Timmins. This map will be of assistance to the voter in knowing in what subâ€"division he will vote. It is not often a town gives its voters this form of help, and the innovation is one deserving of a word of commendation.

For inâ€" stance, he could take part of the time to searching the list to see if his name is there.

Canadians would be interested in the charmâ€" ing costumes of the Old Land, in the music, the interesting customs, the unusual but appealing usages. These New Canadian are eager to give, as well as to receive. They wourla gladly contribute of their art, their music, their interesting Old World methods and manners. Canadians would be delighted with these gifts. The problem seems to be for both the Old and the New Canadians (for need of better words to describe them) to get together and cement the friendships that are unâ€" doubtedly in the making. On Monday The Adâ€" A COLIDOURFUT evening together as friends. They recognize that racial lines are long outâ€"moded. More than one present pointed out the fallacy of the Hitler divisâ€" ion into Aryan and nonâ€"Aryan. Intermarriage has made the claim of the purity of any race no more than vicious nonsense. The fact that science has annihilated distance in this world makes the racial divisions the less practical. Division should be more along the lines of community of interests and ideals. Freedom to worship unmolested, freeâ€" dom of speech, freedom of thought, and the greatest possible measure of freedom of opporâ€" tunityâ€"â€"security to live without persecution or the stifling of humanity under too much regimentaâ€" tionâ€"these are ideals that appeal to the hearts of these New Canadians, as to the hearts of the Oider Canadians. One sturdy young man expressâ€" ed much on Sunday night when he said:â€""If there is war in Europe they will have to force me to fight. But if Canada needs defence, she will only need to call." One suggestion made Sunday night was that some service club or patriotic society of Older Canadians might sponsor an event to welcome new Canadians to their new flag and country. There was special point to the suggestion in view of the fact that only a short time ago a comâ€" paratively large number of former Hungarian and Czechoslovakian nationals became naturalized citizens of Canada. There are obvious difficulties in the way of plans like this, but it does seem that something might be done to show the New Canâ€" adians that the Older Canadians are ready to esteem them as they evidently esteem the people of this land. § Premier Chamberlain has given a pledge that there will be no "peaceâ€"time conscription" in Great Britain. Canadians will remember the pledges made in this country to the effect that there would be no conscription here during thel last war. Perhaps, the pledges of the British premier may be no more possible of fulfilment than the ones that were broken in Canada. lIn this matter of conscription, there are two things worth remembering. The first is that peaceful countries have no choice in the matter of war andi peace. The militaristic nations are the ones that decide that issue. The second thought is that when war comes in modern way no part of the peOple: are free from its effects. No longer has the joke any real point that was told about the farmer visiting Haileybury during the last war. He did not know that a war was in progress nor had he heard anything about it.. When the matter was eventually explained to him and he was informed that France, Britain, Italy and other nations were lined up in war against Germany, Austria and their allies, his comment was:â€""Well, they have a fine day for it." There are no fine days anyâ€" more for any war, and there are no people in any land visited by the war fiend who do not know in sorrow and suffering and death that war is at their door. If some for any reason escape their duty of defence, it means that so much greater burden falls on other shoulders. In Canada durâ€" ing the last war, it was soon found that some went to the battle front to risk their lives, while others stayed at home to reap rich harvest of gain. This brought demand for conscription, so that the burden might be the more evenly distriâ€" buted and that each might do the most and the best for Canada. A measure of conscription of wealth and business and industry was demanded as well as conscription of men. It was found that organization was needed for any measure of efâ€" ficiency. There was a general feeling that this organization would have been of much greater value and effect had it come earlier. In case of another war there will be a speedy demand for such organization at the very outset. Canadians and other Britishers have a rooted dislike to conscription, registration and other simiâ€" lar procedure. They savour too much of regimenâ€" tation. But the facts have to be faced. Necessity has little regard for prejudices. Recent addresses by Sir John Simon and other members of the Briâ€" tish Cabinet suggest that a plan of national regisâ€" tration is likely to be put into effect at an early date in Britain. This national registration, while it is simply a listing of the people with the purâ€" pose of learning in what ways the service of each man may be best utilized on short notice, is usually considered as the forerunner of conscription. It indicates that Britain realizes that the people may be called upon at any time to défend their country, and that it is necessary to have a tabulated review of the resources for defence. It is the part of wisâ€" dom to have such information. It means much in the way of strength and speed in mobilizing the resources of the country should the worst arrive. Peaceâ€"time work of this kind speeds and simplifies conscription in war time. Indeed, it might have effect in delaying or avoiding war. It might not be a bad idea for Canada to have some such registration plan. It would be worth much, even if it went no further than to make it easy to mobilize industry for war purposes. In madern warfare the enemy does not allow much time for preliminaries. He is ready, when he calls the tune. It seems to be generally agreed that in case of war Canada‘s part will be more in line of supplying materials and supplies than in contriâ€" NATIONAL â€"REGISTRATION Tir ronctonit apntarces, ranimis ontarto ?V alue of Air Service to Northern Areas "® While the war was in progress and scores of men from the North were joining the Air Force for seorvics as pilots and mechanics, The Advance more than once referred to the posâ€" sibilities there would be in the air service for the North when peace The immense disiances in this counâ€" try seemed to make air service the ideal method of transportation. Indeed, in some cases air service appeared to be the only practical method of transporâ€" tation for material parts of the North. When the war was over, emphasis was again given to the possibilities of comâ€" mercial air service in this North. No one, however, could foresee the very important part that aeroplanes would actually take in the development oi the distant. areas of the North. Even those Wwho were most enthusiastic avbout air sorvice failed to realize the extent to which the aeroplane would benefit the ‘North. This is not to say that the air service has reached its peak. As a matter of fact the value of the air service to the North in recent years makes the fact plain«that this modern meéthod of transportation is only at the beginning of its real usefulness. In the last issue of The RouynNorâ€" anda Press there is an interesting ediâ€" torial on the value of the air service to Northwestern uebec. Suggestion is alâ€" so made of the coming extension of this service. One point in the editorial is worthy of very special consideratioa. After suggestion of the value of the air service in taking men, supplies, machinery to the mining areas, reféerâ€" enc is made to the comparative safety of this form of transportation. "Far {ewer people have died as the result of air accidents, either in commercial or private aeroplanes, in the whole of Northwest>rn Quebec than have died in traffi¢e accident in these two towns, Rouyn and Noranda," says The Rouynâ€" Noranda Press. This is equivalent to saying that the air service is comparaâ€" tively safe as well as speedy. This is due to the carefulnessâ€"the real cou:â€" ageâ€"shown by the men of the air in the North. It is not too much to say that the airmen take a chance on their lives in practically every trip they make. But they take no unnecessary chances. They avoid carelessness or recklessness. They give thought all the time to safety. They think of the othe:i fellow. ‘Phe record shows it. Here is the editorial from The Rouynâ€" Noranda Press last week:â€"â€" Safety as Well as Efficiency Indicated by Record. "The announcement from Dominion Skyways this week that the company is seriously considering buying a twin engined aircraft, larger, speedier, safer than anything that has previously flown in Northwestern Quebec or Northern Ontario on regular schedule may be taken by people of this district and by Canadians generally that ithe newer parts of this nation are becoming ailr minded just as rapidly as our great neighbour cross the international borâ€" ader. "For many years, people of Rouynâ€" Noranda have been watching commerâ€" cial aircraft come and go regularly, taking men and supplies swiftly and safely to their destinations, be ithey five hundred miles off in the unexâ€" plored bush. There have been few acâ€" cidents; far fewer people have died as the result of air accidents, either in commercial or private aeroplanes, in the whole of Northwestern Quebec than have died in traffic accidents in these two towns. The bugaboo of insecurity in the air has almost entirely disapâ€" peared, where northerners are concernâ€" ed. "Their acceptance of a new mode of transportation has been shown chiefly in the fact that two companies have found it possible to operate services, one from Rouyn to Val d‘Or and the other from Rouyn to Montreal regularly and profitably, at extraordinarily low rates. There is no other centre in Canâ€" ada, of anywhere near the population, served by roads and railways, in which two such services are regularly mainâ€" tained. There are, so far as can be learned here, just one or two other twin engined ships (such as Skyways may purchase) in the service of privatelyâ€" owned lines in Canada. Trans Canada butions of men. Just what would Canada do in the way of making implements of war? Doés anyâ€" body know? Measures like national registration make such things plain. The city of North Bay has forwarded a formal invitation to Their Majesties the King and Queen to visit the Gateway City on their tour of the Dominion next year. It would appear that Timâ€" mins might do well to issue a similar invitation to Their Majesties: If the King and Queen come as far as the Gateway, they should certainly be inâ€" vited the rest of the way. A visit to Canada that missed the most important part of Canada would not be fair to Their Majesties. "Ottawa Girl is Wedded to Toronto Man," says the caption to a picture in an Ottawa paper. What‘s the idea? Trying to prove that Ottawa girls have good looks, but bad luck? Reports from Paris this week assert that Chanâ€" cellor Hitler has demanded delivery to him of at least 10,000 Germans who have failed to subscribe to the Nazi doctrines but instead have taken reâ€" fuge in the part of Czechoslovakia that still reâ€" mains out of German control,.

"shadow" plan inaugurated by Thomas Inskip has been continuously under criticism. He will be able to defond it or he will not. The public, in the meantime, will do a little surveying of its own. The abâ€" sence of advice by such free givers as Lord Cecil, Lord Strabolgi, Herbert Morrison, Clement Attlee, to mention but a few of the great pacifist policyâ€" makers, will be sufficient reminder of who sold Britain out. Their efforts as peace organizers, on the American plan of moral suasion, are surpassed only by the ferocity of their Fascistâ€"baitâ€" It is worth pondering their influence in British labor circles in connection with Prime Minister Chamberlain‘s apâ€" peal for coâ€"operation in increasing proâ€" duction after the Austrian crisis last spring. He» didn‘t get it.. Instead, the Opposition began sabotaging the Govâ€" ernment‘s recruiting and volunteer airâ€" raid programs. These are factors which will not enter into the survey Sir John Simon has promised. They won‘t exonerate any one of blundering. But they put the finger on weaknesses which must be overcome if any program, shont of inâ€" dustrial mobilization, is to do the work that must be done. They are also strikâ€" ingly similar to the arguments and tactics which, until recent weeks, have been the excuse for our own unpreâ€" paredness. If the British situation, be it better or worse than the evidence suggests, demonstrates anything, it is that the Dominions cannot go:â€"on hiding behind Britain‘s skirts. It demonstrates, £0O, how badly she needs help and how difficult it is to organize industry for munitions production. Surveys, graphs and theories won‘t do. If we need further proof we need only look at the United States, where one of the greatâ€" est airâ€"craft industries in the world, now at the height of production, is admittedly unequal to military deâ€" mands. Ottawa does not have to be told this. Ottawa did a tall bit of waiting for the ten transport machines purchased for the Transâ€"Canada Air Lines, and ordered months before the rush really began. It is still waiting for 42 Air Force planes ordered about 19 months ago, and at last reports expects to be kept waiting on those ordered to this vear. There is little or no mass production be in doubt as to what will happen to these 10,000 Germans should the Fuehrer have his will in this matter. Results so far have shown that a German peace takes a fearful toll of human life and hapâ€" piness. A new Canadian 13â€"cent postage stamp is soon to be issued, according to word from Ottawa. If there is any single thing that Canada really needs for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it is surely a 13â€"cent postage stamp. And it should be issued on a Friday the 13th, and passed out to people walking under ladders. An Ottawa youngster forced a button up its nose and had to be taken to hospital for treatâ€" ment. Then the child sneezed and dislq@ged the button, making the operation unnecessary. As any crib player knows a button in the nose is not to be sneezed at. A breathless man told a police sergeant in New York this week that a woman had just been bitten by a dead lion. Investigation showed that a woman cook in a new York house had slipped on a highlyâ€" polished floor and entangled her foot in a tigerâ€" skin rug in such a way that one of the tiger teeth cut the lady‘s foot. All of which is keeping close to the truthâ€"for Manhattan. about aircraft. A type of plan requires about five years from the drafting board to regular production. Refineâ€" ments and changes in resign cause long interruptions. Engines, once developed, can speedily be assembled. Tires, wheels, and such accessories can be built on the assembly line. But the plane itself is handâ€"built to the last rivet, and each stage of construction subject to colse inspection. And every pane must be tested, reâ€"tested, and tested again. It is important that these things be understood. They eliminate a lot of political clapâ€"trap which has been screening inaction. So far as preparedâ€" ness goes, programs for recruiting inâ€" dustry and estimates of potential proâ€" duction are twaddle. In spite of all that has been said about no commitâ€" ments, Canada has definite obligations to Britain. They demand that we give her every possible assistance now. And that can â€"be done without skimping our own defences any longer. Another Concert by the Finnish Y. P. 8.
