Ont,., Canads EVERY THURSFAT 72 Learn English "It is our purpose," he said, "to make people lawâ€"conscious, and s0o able to live in freedom and happiâ€" ness," "Everything is governed by‘laws, and the wzsy to true progress and contentment is by the observance of these laws." This was one of many impressive sentences in the logical and forceful address given by Solon Low, M.P., leader of the Social Credit party, the guest speaker at the weekly luncheon of the Timmins Kiwanis Club at the Empire hotel on Monday. Every sphere had its own laws, the spcaker showed and ill is sure to result from failure to observe these laws. He specified economic laws, physiczal laws, natural laws, and the laws of God, j The â€"speaker did not expect any Utopia, ‘but he was earnest in his belief that conditions could be vastly improved by the observance of laws. Obeying physical laws would improve heclth. Reference was madsc to the number who‘overworked ~:io their own ill. They failed to observe the laws. It was no wonder they found themselves ill and worn out. The failure to observe the Sabbath was another cause of trouble to men. A weekly day of rest was necessary, the speaker believed, even from the phyâ€" sical standpoint. Welfare Stems From Lawâ€"Observance Avers " Brilliant, Thorough Canadian" Plea for Reforestation Evil always followed when natural laws were not observed, the speaker maintained,.. The penalty often des.â€" cended to the third and fourth genâ€" erations, He urged that natural laws be observed, and when forest trees were cut down others be planted to avoid floods and soil erosion. There was striking observance of this law in Germany and Norway and Sweden. Lack of observance of the law in this respect was in some measure responâ€" sible for the recent disastrous floods in Manitoba. "For the sake of your sons and daughters,‘"‘ the speaker said, "all should respect and observe the laws." Alexander Astonished At The 40 Year Growth "I particulary thank all those made arrangements, all the pains taken in advance, which have gone to make this such a delightful day." said Viscount Alexgnder at a civic banqust an Thursday. . He professed astonishment at what he had seen, so much of the gold and industry built up in only 40 years; at the innumerable children; at the boy scouts and guides, and their health. "I enjoyed dropping in to see the veterans, â€" to shake hands, pat them ofl the bank, have a glass of geer with them â€"â€" made me feel right at home." The head table guests, in seating order, were as follows: Major Burâ€" ridge, ADC, Mrs. . Grummeétt, Mr. Eyre, Mrs. Gardner, Mr. Scott (minâ€" ister of lands and forests), Bishopn Renison, Mrs. Fay. Viscount Alexanâ€" cer, Reeve Evans, Mrs. Evans, Lady Alexznder, Mayor Fay, Mrs. Renison, Mr. Gardner, Mrs. Eyre, Lady Lawâ€" rence, Mr. Grummett. Concluding, on ‘behalf of he and his wife, he thanked everyone for the deoâ€" lightful day, and wished all the best of luck znd prosperity in the years to come. The speaker was introduced and thanked by Reeve Evans. Observe Economic Laws The problem of today as the speakâ€" Relurning to their home in the Riverview district of Winnipeg one day recently, after leaving it 10 days before, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Robinson were dazed. When they moved they thougnt they were in good shape, but the Utopia Not Expected ~~â€"__ What a Difference Ten Days Makes in Flood Area‘! er saw it was to keep the people busy and happy. Yet at the present there was poverty and, at the same time a surplus of goods. Had it not been for the war work still in proâ€" gress, conditions would be worse, The speaker quoted from a survey made in the United States, which showed that there was a great surplus of foodstuffs and of some manufactured goods, The Social Credit party beâ€" lieved that the observance of basic economic laws would place the people in position where they could buy what Canada produced, This meant a good standard of living with full employment. : No Need for War or Depression The speaker was emphatic in exâ€" pressing his belief that there was no need for a depression, and no need for a war. "It will be due to the utter stupidity of men if, either happens," he said, adding, "but the laws must be observed, if evils are to be avoided.‘" Mr. Low referred ‘briefly to his work as Minister of Education and Treasurer of Alberta. In recent years Alberta had made great strides forâ€" ward. The province spent today four times as much as it did in 1937, and the people were getting the benefit. Mention was made of the wonderful finds of oil in Alberta, The Greatest Country on Earth "I believe Canada is the greatest country on earth," the speaker said. "Let‘s keep it so!" He stressed his firm faith in this country, and his full belief in democracy. The wealth of the earth in gold, silver, oil, and other resources came in for due menâ€" tion. â€" "But don‘t forget," said the speaker, "that there is more wealth in the top six inches of soil than in all the riches underground." Greatly Appreciated The long continued applause sugâ€" gested how much the members of the club enjoyed the address. Solon Low won his audience from his humorous opening. and held them to the close. Acknowledging the introduction given him, he suggested that either Karl A. Eyre must be wrong, or else some of the newspapers must have been misâ€" It was decided at last night‘s meetâ€" ing of the TimminsY‘s Men‘s Club thst 50 percent of the Club‘s net proâ€" ceeds from sponsoring Tex Ritter and his Western Review, will be donated to the Manitoba Flood Relief Fund. The Western Review, which features Tex Ritter, star of the Movies, Radico and Television, and his horse White Flash, ‘"The most ‘beautiful horse in the world, is to be held at the Mcâ€" Intyre Arena on Monday evening June 12. The show also features the Skyline Boys, Slim Andrews, Spud Goodale and the Robinson duo. The Review is packed full of wholesome western entertainment for the whole family. % To date the Y‘s Men have been de. voting all of their funds to maintain the locsl YMCA till its next public financial appeal, but the members felt that the need of the Flood Relief is so urgent at this time that we should sacrifice locally, if necessary, to supâ€" port it. £ MSEASRE J * 4 George Metczslife announced to the Club that plans are not yet definite, but that he hopes to be able to anâ€" nounce the name of another Feature N:me Band for June 23. The program committee announced that the next meeting of the Club would be held at the Camp of Glady Ray on Night Hawk Lake. Fhe memâ€" bers zare invited to enjoy an evening of fishing after which there will be a Camp Dinner and the regular Club business. THURSDAY, JUNE 1st; 1950 Y‘s MEN TO DONATE 50% TO FLOOD FUND The introduction of the guest sppaker by Karl A. Eyre, M.P., was itself a very pleasing feature of the event,. The local member of the House of Commons referred to Solon Low as "a man who believes firmly in the democratic way of life, a thorough Canadian, and a brilliant public man, who is giving talented services to the people." Past President A. F. McDowell was equally happy in expressing the thanks of the club for the thoughtful address, taken, as they had not spoken so well of him. Viceâ€"President P. H. Laporte in the chair for the day added his personal words of appreciation. Many Visitors at Club There were nine other guests for the day, including four from South Porcupine Kiwanis: M. G. Clark, past president; R. L. Ship, secretary; and Leo Kramer and William Valenius, directors. The other visitors were: E. L. Longmore, general manager of the â€"Hollinger Consolidated Gold Mines, Timmins; J. P. Fahey, South Porcupine; D. W. Taylor, South Porâ€" cupine, who was host to Mr, Low on his visit to the Camp; D. A. Bull, manager of the Bank of Commerce, Timmihs; and Carlyle Dunbar, of The Daily Press. Reports and Announcements G. N. Ross announced all arrangeâ€" ments completed for the Kiwanisâ€" sponsored midway here June 5th to 12th. J. Beattie reported regarding the inspection of the Air Cadets at the Hollinger Park at 8 p.m. on Wednesâ€" day. J. P. Downey explained that a variety show was planned for an early date to assist the Winnipeg flood victims fund, ‘all the service clubs in the Camp to take part, Viceâ€"President P. H. Laporte urged as man Kiwanians as possible to attend the annual dinner meeting of the Children‘s Aid Society to be held at the Goldfields hotel. Tickets for this event could be secured from Kiwanian Clade Desaulniers. Rev. E. Gilmour Smith was guest speaker at the regular WMS meceting of First United Church. His fopic was Waskesui Camp, concerning which he showed colored slides that were enâ€" joyed very much. Mrs. W. Isnor reported two boxes of clothing as having been sent to Soeul, Korea, for distribution among refugâ€" eosâ€" there. _â€"Mrs. A. Jackson, president, thankâ€" ed Mr. Smith. Mrs. T. Charlton asked :membeis t continue their visits to the sick, sbutâ€"ins or the ‘blind. throughout thke summer. WMS members voted to resaryse funds for summer camps, if required.

V.S. choir and orchestra presented their fifth annual concert, ‘"Voices of Spring," under the direcâ€" tion of Edward Bartlette. The audience seemed to enjoy a Hawaiian number the best of all. "Aloha Oe," was beautifully done. "The excellent harmonizing clearly set forth the mellow lilting rhythms of the tropics. The program consisted of folkâ€" songs, a few moderns and a smatter. ing of the classics which added that bit of professionalism which made the concert so successful. ‘Mr. Bartlett opened ‘with Melodies from Haydn, and The Theme from the fifth Symphony of Beethoven. Following the orchestra the choir presented a very stirring rendition of Bach‘s Passion Chorale. The choir ended their first selection in a marked contrast with a little English comedy number, "Here‘s A Health Unto His Majesty." The Boys Choir mzade a hit with their rendition of "We Went to the Animal Fair," and old English folk song. When it came to orchestral work, the ballet music from "la Giaconda," received the biggest applause. The well known tune was played quickly and produced a ‘brilliant effect. "La Paloma," was also well received. The Senior girls choir captured the hearts of the audience with Vincent Youman‘s ever popular. ‘"The Song is You." One of the most pleasant surprises of the evening was the high calibre of work presented by the Junior choir. It was definitely the best turned out junior choir in somey years. They favored the audience with three selecâ€" tions, "Indian Lullaby," _ "Scilian Night," and "Sweet Dreams Sweetâ€" hesart." Mr. and Mrs. David Wigston left town, leaving their pet budgie â€" a bird â€" in the hands of a Iriend e VR Last weekend the friend was cleanâ€" ingo ut the cage when â€" whoops! â€" the budge zoomed out and flew out and flew away. The budge meanwhile hovered over the Legion hall, crossed the bucket line and headed straight for Schumaâ€" cher â€" right to Briscoe‘s drug store indeed, upstairs and into the apartâ€" ment f The Briscoe‘s reported to Mrs. Lawâ€" rence Buck, Timmins ‘bird expert and dealer who, upon being informed of the band number on the bird‘s leg, identified the owner, Mrs. D. Wigston. Mrs. Wigston, being away on holiâ€" day, was unawara of the loss. Mrs. Wigston had in the meantime returned to find her big plateâ€"glassed cage empty. And until she heard the great news, Mrs. Wigston was a very sad woman. "Oh, boy,‘"‘ said Mr. Wigston, ‘"am I ever glad to get this bird back. You never saw such crying. All the woâ€" men crying about the lost bird." Act Now, Say Coldwell To Help Unemployment If Ottawa were really interested in fulil employment, it would carry out the following, suggested Mr. M. J. Coldwell, CCF leader, speaking Timmins over the weekend. 1. Take action now to prevent largeâ€" scale unemployment next winter when the seasonal peak occurs. 2. Announce a detailed and longâ€" term plan for decling with the whole employment problem. 3. Set targets by which we can judge in time when action is needed. 4. Speedâ€"up research into seasonal unemployment so action can be taken this scummer. 3. Act now on public work and inâ€" custrial development projects to reâ€" duce regional unemployment. Good for Business? Some people feel it is good for business and the economy to have several hundred thousand unemploy.~â€" ed. They feel it is a stick fto make those with jobs work harder and proâ€" duce more. This is an inhnuman attiâ€" tude and I believe it is time we adâ€" opted the socialist approsch of conâ€" sicering the effects of unemployment on the personalities and lives of those affected by it. The socialist puts the welfare of individual human beings ashead of the welfare of innuman corâ€" porations, and it is for this reason that I believe we need more socialism in Canada today. We cin find other and better inâ€" centives for production if we have faith in the worth of the individual and his sense gf responsibility. But we shall not find these new incentives as long as we are content to rely on the threat ond the stark reality of unâ€" employment. Canada has endorsed Three instrumental solos, two vocal PET BIRD ESCAPES FLIES SCHUMACHER @ In Timmins, Ont., Cani EVERY THURSDAY BY DCN HINDSON Hiwaiian Popular solos and one dancing solo highâ€" lighted the evening. Diane Lloyd, soprano, did an exâ€" cellant job of a little novelty tune, "Wi:iting for My Dearie." Doris Kurâ€" koski, mezzo soprano sang a little lullaby by Mozart. Both these girls were loudly acclaimed by the audience as their rich voices captivated one and all. Maryâ€"Ruth Burke added a little variety to the concert with a dancing solo. This was done on a raised stage to the accompaniment of the choir‘s singing of Dry Bones. The audience thoroughly enjoyed this little number. Carol Nolan, violinist and head of the second violin section played a very spirited rendition of a Ronda by Reiding. Carol played this very well and will no doubt be the, concert master of the orchestra in a few‘ years. Neil Pooley, flutist, did â€"a very professional job of Gavotte from Mignon by Thomas. Neil is one of the outstanding musicians of the orchestra and has a great career ahead of him. The orchestra accomâ€" panied Neil in his presentation. Brass Winner The winner of the Brass solo inâ€" strument at the recent festival, John Halonen was accompanied by the orchestra in "The Evening Star‘" from "‘Tannhauser." The â€" evenflowing strains of this well known melody filled the gymnasium and the souls of the audience alike. John was loudly applauded. The success of the concert ~was due in part to the varied repertoire of the musicians. The concert was ended in a stirring rendition of Youâ€" man‘s "Hallelujiah." _ Mr. Rose, principal, voiced his appreciation of the excellant work that Mr. Bartlette has done in the school during the past five years. Mr. Rose thanked‘ Mr. Bartlette and both were heartily applauded. John Dalton gave $540.21 to the Timmins branch of the Canadian Naâ€" tional Institute for the Blind, again exactly doubling the tag day receipts, $540.21. The annusl tag day held in Timmins a few days ago, again brought forth a small boy with his annual donation of 500 coppers. These he handed to a tagger and darted away without leavâ€" ing his name. Receipts will be mailed shortly, to all known donors. Mrs. C. Pozzetti, local. chairman, wishes to express thanks to all who contributed in any way. (Mr. Dalton has been doubling tag day receipts for some years. Highest ta gday receipts: $1,309.11; highest cheque from Mr. Dalton: $1,309.00) The need is urgent. Fellow Canaâ€" dians. Employee or employer, large or small, you are urged to contribute. Do everything you can. Every cent helps. Great Britain and the U.S. have ofâ€" fered assistance. We â€" as Canadians chairman, Manitoba Relief Committee. the United Nations, but unfortunately the federal government has done nothing to give effect to this principle. It seems content to drift. Set a Target The first step in dealing with deâ€" terioration in employment conditions is to recognize a base period which was 2 good one and set monthly tar.. gets designed to keep the numbers of jobless below the target level. I beâ€" lieve the average of 1947 and 1948 should be used as a base period. Thus, we would be setting a target of less than 200,000 jobless in the peak winâ€" ter months, and less than 100,000 in the summer months. If at any time the number of unemployed is over the target level, immediate special action by the federal government should be taken. Same as England? With regard to England, Mr. Coldâ€" well said afterwards that although certain things carried out in England would not suit Canada, but that the idea was the same. What would the CCF apply to reâ€" place the competitive spirit? "Well, of course," he said, "coimâ€" petition has alresdy been completely destroyed in a good many things â€"â€" flour, cement, for instance, you get a monopoly, you see, and the only way a monoply can be handled is by the people having control." Without national plans, he also said, we are going to fluctuzcte from boom to depression, boom to depression. What would there be to judge inâ€" dustria)l leaders? "Parliament would judge," he anâ€" swered, "a democratic representation would be the judge â€" as it is now the directors of a company report to nobody."
