Referring to a Toronto lady who has passed the century mark, The Teleâ€" gram says that ‘‘She is now over 11 years old.‘"‘ Apparently The Telegram is trying to kid the old lady. .. A reader of The Advance who signs himself, ‘‘Disgusted One‘‘ writes to ask what certain daily newspapers would do for front page headings and articles these days in case some other ‘‘Disgusted One‘‘ should murder ‘*Peaches"‘ Browning. Why, ‘‘Disgusted One,‘‘ we expect the dailies would make front page copy of the murder. The Advance is Disgusted Too. Fire recently destroyed the home of one of the citizens of The Pas, Maniâ€" toba. The fire destroyed all his possessions,â€"except his family and his good friends. His loss was a heavy one, yet he retained much more than he lost. That man may regret the material things he lost, yet his heart must be warmed because of the greater things he still possesses. In his hard luck he must realize his good fortune. The Pas Lumber Co. immediately donated enough lumber for another house, and cash contributions amounting to nearly two hundred dollars were forward at once to tide him over his need. The incident illustrates once more the fact that there is no place more kindly or generous to those in ill fortune than a mining camp. Years ago Timmins was so friendly and openâ€"handed that the people here contributed money to assist a Provincial Police officer who was in need. That was a highâ€"water mark in generosity. Many will regret that with the growth of communities, the oldâ€"time spirit of generous helpfulness can not be so eviâ€" dent. Innumerable calls naturally dull the sensibilities. Frequent cases of demands by undeserving people tend to discourage generosity. This is one of the penalties of growth. It is a fact, however, that the oldâ€"time spirit of kindly helpfulness never dies completely, and no case of real need is likely to go without friendly assistanceée in any mining camp. During the recent Provincial Election campaign the Premier, Hon. G. HMoward Ferguson, promised that the enforcement of the proposed Governâ€" ment Temperance policy would be in the hands of a ‘‘strong man,"‘‘ as he phrased it. Certain newspapers opposed to temperance but in favour of prohibition have repeated the phrase ‘‘strong man‘‘ with the evident intenâ€" tion of ridiculing the idea. This week announcement it made of the perâ€" sonnel of the Liquor Commission. Mr. D. B. Hanna, wellâ€"known as a railâ€" way builder and business man of talent, is to be the chairman of the comâ€" mission. The other members are to be Dr. R. J. Manion, M.P., Fort William, and Mr. Stewart McClenaghan, ex M.P., of Ottawa. Premier Ferguson has more than redeemed his promise. Instead of one ‘"‘strong man‘‘ for the Iiquor Commussion there are three. ‘ The new lead mines are in Black township known as the Black Lead mines. There are 9,500 drug addicts in all Canada, according to a statement given out by the Chief of the Narcotic Division of Health. Question: How many ol these 9,500 addicts are being supplied with drugs by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police the way these police officers supplied the man named Fraser who was their travelling companion through this North Land some months ago? It is suggested by the evidence in some recent cases here, that at one time last summer, the Timmins police had all the drug addicts in this town in jail, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police came along and took the fellow away and supplied him with drugs for many months therecafter. One Toronto newspaper suggests putting a ban on the title ‘*Bandit‘‘ as applied too frequently to the cowardly and murderous thugs who commit highway robbery. The newspaper in question appears to believe that the use of such words as ‘‘thug,‘‘ ‘""robber,"‘ and would discourage the holdâ€"ups by taking some of the romance and glamour out of their usuâ€" ally cowardly crimes. The effect upon the criminals may be questioned, but there is little doubt but that the newspapers owe it to their respect for the meaning of language to use proper terms to describe the modern type of vicious crime. It is also dug to the public, and especially to the young and illâ€"informed that highâ€"sounding words are not employed for despicable criminals and contemptible crimes with the result that there is left a sugâ€" gestion that there is a possibility that there may be something gallant or romantic in the mean trade of thuggery and murder. It is now four months since Inspector Constable was foully murdered at Cochrane, What progress has been made in bringing the cowardly assassin to justice? Do the authorities believe that the people of the North Land are content to forget about this and other murders unpunished in this North? The. members representingy North Land constituencies in the Legislature should question the Government very closely relative to the murder of Inâ€" spector Constable.= Is it admitted that the Provincial authorities lack the ability to. trace the treacherous thug that killed a loyal officer and a good citizen? If so, avhy not bring in detectives who can do the work? _ The people of the North Land want the murderer of Inspector Constable brought to justice, and until the guilty man is apprehended, Ontario is shamed, as a province nnable to avenge its own faithful servants. A few days ago some boys,â€"the oldest not thirteen years of age,â€"broks into a locked shed in the suburban part of Toronto, and took a quantity of dynamite sticks from the building. For their offence the boys were before the court in Toronto, and the evidence showed that the lads had taken desâ€" perate liberties with the purloined dynamite. Some of the sticks they had cut up with an axe, using the pieces of dynamite for pucks in an impromptu game of hockey. Those who have handled dynamite in the course of their daily work will read with lively horror of the terrible risks those boys took with the explosive. The Magistrate very rightly had special words for the parents concerned. Emphasis was properly placed on the idea that children should be sternly impressed with the respect due to dynamite, Just why the voungsters were not blown to eternity, with other innocent people in the neighbouring district also suffering seriously, will remain another of the mysteries about explosives. It is not an adequate reply to say that the dynaâ€" mite was frozen. There ara few men accustomed to handling dynamite who would care to use part of a stick of the explosive as a hockey puck on the eoldest day that ever visited White River. There is said to be a special providence that guards drunken men, fools and children, Apparently they need such protection on occasion. When the escapade of the Toronto youths is considerecd in ecnnection with the case of the late Nch Faulkenham, one of TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, FEB. 10th, 1927 Thursday, Feb. 10th, 1927 Geo. Lake Canada Member of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association Published Every Thursday by now four months since What progress has 1 ? _ Do the authorities | Ohe Yorruptie Subscription Rates : $2.00 per year â€" United States â€" $3.00 per year Telephones Residence 70 TIMMINS, ONTARIO. â€"â€" Owner and Publisher They will no doubt be the gentlest and most careful of men, who met his death through an exâ€" plosion of dynamite at his business place in Red Lake mining camp, the unâ€" certainty of the action of dynamite seems to be emphasized. _ With the greatest care there is always the element of risk, as has been proven on hundreds of occasions in the mining districts of the North,. Accordingly one of the first articles of the creed of every man, woman or child coming anyâ€" where near dynamite should be to use the greatest care at all times in dealâ€" ing with explosives. has shown that it is impossible to use too much carefulness in handling dynamite. . Children should be taught the greatostâ€"possible respect for dynamite, both for their own sakes and for the sake of others. The latest to object to the use of "‘titles‘‘ are the linotype operators in The Advance office. They strenuously object to the use of the title, ‘‘operaâ€" tors,‘‘ being applied to the drug addicts employed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in their work of visiting doctors to secure supplies of narcoâ€" tic drugs to keep their special agents in their favourite dope. : The linotype men argue that the word ‘‘operator‘‘ has been made honourable by the useful work of telegraph, telephone and typesetting machine manipulators, and should not be used as synonymous with ‘‘spotters.‘‘ Despite the apparent abuse of titles in such cases as that complained about, The Advance is not yet in favour of the abolition of titles, or abolish the type of police that make wrong use of such titles. The o#der men‘s parliaments in this country may well take pattern from the Older Boys‘ Parliament of Ontario. The boys decided that the best way to raise the necessary finances to carry on the boys‘ work movement in On* tario was to sell bonds. The ‘‘Government‘‘ elected in regular fashion by the boys undertook the direction of the bondâ€"selling campaign with the createst energy and enthusiasm. Volunteer speakers and workers were assigned to the several districts to assure the succeess of the campaign. Among these workers none have shown more effective enthusiasm than Hugh Sceratch, the ‘‘Leader of the Opposition.‘‘ He is bending every effort to make the Government plan a big success. Only in the case of a big war or in face of some great calamity have Opposition leaders among the adult parliamenâ€" tarians devoted their full energy to assisting the Government, and even in such cases, the coâ€"operation has not always been wholeâ€"hearted as it has been in the case of the boy leader. The leader of the Opposition in the Boys!‘ Parâ€" liament has the right idea of patriotism and good sportsmanship. In an editorial this week in The Toronto Star, the suggestion is made that the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway establish a radio broadâ€" casting station so that the North Land may enjoy the pleasures of radio. The Star is apparently under the impression that on account of the long distance from the big cities where radio broadcasting stations are situated, the North Land is not able to enjoy the best radio programmes. This is not the case, however. ~The North Land has been particularly fortunate in the matter of radio reception. There are innumerable radio outfits in this country, and it is seldom indeed that they are not able to secure good programmes from the leading stations on the continent. In this North, except on rare occasions when some unusual cireumstance interferes, the radio from Montreal, Ottawa, Pittsburgh, Chicago , and points farther away, may be casily and clearly heard. Indeed, the North Land seems to be especially favourable for radio reception. â€" Broadcasting from the Arctic cirele has been heard here more or less regularly, and on one occasion a local radio set tuned in with a broadâ€" casting station in Scotland and heard, though indistinetly and faintly the programme presented in the Old Land. It is an odd fact that Toronto has always been the hardest of centres to secure on the radios of this North Land. For some reason or other the reception from Toronto is nearly alâ€" ways poor. This may be due to inferior equipment in the city where Hon. Mr. Raney once reigned, though dry.. The Star is also apparently unaware of the fact that the North Land already has a broadcasting station. _ This broadcasting station is situated at Sandy Falls, near Timmins, ‘‘where the wolves howl around the door,‘‘ as the station itself onee broadcasted in desâ€" cription. Mr. M. J. Cavaney, who installed this broadeasting station, is not only a pioneer of radio in this North but also one of the earliest and most helpful of the radio enthusiasts in Canada,. The Advance would be specially interested in Mr. Cavaney‘s opinion as to the virtue of having a broadcastjng station established by the T. N. 0. Railway in this North Land. One thing is certain, and that is that if it would be of genuine advantage to the North, the T. N. 0. Railway will assuredly give the matter the most considerate attention. Ten years ago Timmins suffered inconvenience and expense because of a lack of snow during severe cold weather. Water pipes and hydrants froze up and other difficulties resulted from the lack of the protecting snow. This year the other extreme has been reached. There is too much snow. It is a nuisance now, piled up every place, but just what to do with it in the Spring will be a more tedious problem. When Spring comes there should be a genâ€" eral demand for rubber boots. The town, for once, will be thankfal for its widespread supply of gravel and sand, for without the generously absorbent qualities of these, the town might cease ‘‘looking more like New York every day,"‘ and take on the outward appearance of the city of Venice in the rainy In recent times there have been altogether too many cases of men deâ€" serting their wives and families in this district. One such case, of course, is too many, but the cases here have been so numerous that it was felt that drastic measures were required. A week or so ago one famiiy deserter was arrested and is now serving a term of imprisonment for his offence. _ This punishment of this man has had the effect of impressing on several others the duty they are required by law and decency to fulfil in the matter of proâ€" viding for their families. It may be noted that the intention of the authoriâ€" Agâ€" 9i m a $ ; THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTIMMINS. ONTARIO ud + ties is to fully enforee the law in this matter. No man is hereafter to be permitted to desert his family and leave them on the charity of neighbours or municipalities. possibly can should make a point Of paying as Mub! they can as soon as they can. This plan will help keejing down the cost of administration, â€" The taxes f overdue in reality, all Should make special effort, town, to pay their taxes for past years. The notices for the taxes due for 1926 are now being issued. _ These taxeg, of course, were due last year, and, under normal conditions and the ordinary type of town council administration, would have been‘payable last year. In view of the fact that the delay in demanding payment was not due to any fault of the people, the present council has provided for the amounts due to be paid in two instalments. The first instalment is payable by March Ist. After that date a five per cent. penalty will be added for nonâ€"payment. The second instalment is due on April 15th, and a penalty of five per cent. is also added to that instalment for nonâ€"payment. There ist a further five per cent. penalty added by law to taxes unpaid by May ist.! Thus 1926 taxes not paid by May Ist will carry a 10 per cent. penalty. Ac-} cordingly it will be good business to see that taxes for 1926 are paid before| the penalties are collectable. If the 1926 taxes are paid at an early dateg it will make ,the paying of 1927 taxes, due later in the year, less irksmne.; In addition it will save thy/town money in interest charges.
