ko If Mr, Alec Dewar wore to be asked the reason for the defeat odf the TIroquois Falls team at Toronto last Saturday, he would no doubt reply in his epigrammatic way : ‘‘Soft Ice and Hard Luck!‘‘ : Accordmg to one of the Cochrane newspapers that \Im thern town now has a graduate woman embalmer. The North Land seems to be leading in the way women are taking places formerly supposed to be the special monoâ€" poly for men. But the North Land has always appeared leading in everyâ€" thing anyway.. 3 ‘ ' According to a byâ€"law recently reported in the dally newspapers as hayâ€" ing been passed by the city council of Peterboreugh, Ontario, firemen must not swear at a fire. If the firemen holding the siamese sneezes just at that eritical moment when the coupling is being completed and the water is comâ€" It is to be hoped that no action is taken on the petition submitted reâ€" cently to the:town council for the opening of Cedar‘street through the athleâ€" tie fleld. To attempt to open this street through the ball grounds at this time would mean the loss of the athletic field to the town. Despite the fact tfitfi the pofitmn sugwests that there are other places available for sports erposes the average man does not know of any such place convenient or " a The Hollinger Mine has given the use of the athletic grounds to the town at. the nommal ‘rent of $1. 00 pr year, md in no:â€"year yet have they During the past couple of years about twenty boys have been committed to the Industrial School from Timmins, From every standpoint this is an undesirable and unfortunate condition of affairs. It implies a heavy cost to the town and the ,province for maintenance of the boys, and it is not the ideal wayâ€"to deal with mischievous or misâ€"directed youth. It is not giving the boy the best chance in the world. Sometimes there is no other method possible in dealing with a wayward boy, but sending a lad to the Industrial Scehool should be a last resort. Of course, there is no blame attached to the authorities in the matter; they reluctantly made the best use they could of the only method that seemed available. Since Mr. R. LeHeup has taken over the duties of superintendent of the Children‘s Aid Society for the Disâ€" trict of Cochrane, not a single boy has been committed to the Industrial Sehool. Mr. LeHeup‘s method does not include even the use of the Juvenile Court except where it can not be done without, and the boy is saved even this approach to the stigma of court appearance. In the case of petfy theft by boys or damage to property or other _more. or less minor misdemegnour, Mr. LeHeup has the boys and their parents and the other parties concerned apâ€" pear before him. Loss or damages are adjusted, and. usually the parents are ready to see that the boys are properly chscxplmed The matter thus usually ends satlsfactonly for all, and to the advantage of the boy who finds that he is no hero but simply a bad boy for the time with the good chance of .doing better for the future. ‘There are some cases where the boy‘s case needs someâ€" thing further than censure, but effort is stlll rpade to avoid the Industrial Sehool The plan in such cases is to have the father of the boy, or other proper authority give the lad a whipping ‘that while leavmg no physical ill afterâ€"effects will usually prove to the boy that. lawlessness is folly and has no touch of romance. While some young lads in Timmins some years ago were awaiting transportation to the Industrial School for a series of robberâ€" ~The Government Control bill forbids the publishing of advertlsements for liquor by newspapers in Ontario. Newspapers from other provmces and other states, however, can not be prevented from carrying such advertising, The result, accor dmgly is that the newspapers of Ontario simply lose business that they might otherwise have. But as most of the newspapers of Ontario either opposed Government Control or damned it with faint praise, it may be a case of ‘‘serve thenr right.‘‘ â€". _ "It is remarkable,"" says one of the men engaged in gettmg data for the 1926 assessment, "how few people keep dogs in Timmins.‘ ing on, will the Peterborough council kindly explain what should be the proper procedure for all concerned. _‘ A thirsty local gentleman gives as his present motto the words, *Pray for May!* ieé;.theil' attitude plainly indicated that they believed themselves to be under a Jesse James glamour of romance and adventure. The proper treatment would no doubt have cured the lads of such folly, and the present plans seem toâ€"be along the right line. ' ism is not near the facts. The people of Iroquois Falls took their defeat like good sports. But the further comment of The Star is still more objecâ€" tionable. The Star says:â€"‘‘But ;llmmms lit the bonfires. How that town loves the Falls.‘‘ The 1mphcat10n is a mean and contemptlble untruth. Timmins did not joy 1n the defeat of the Falis. \Quite the contrary! There was not a man in Timmins but regretted that defeat and sympathized with the Falls in its illâ€"fortume. Of course, there is rivalry in sport between Timmins and the Falls. But it is the rivalry of good sports, not the manners of small minds. Timmins did its best to prevent Iroquois Falls going to Toronto, so ’long as there was a chance of the honour going nearer home. But once the Falls had won the right to represent the North Land, .\the whole North was behind the Falls with sincere good wishes and all fair hopes for sueccess. The victory last Thursday was received here with the greatest enâ€" thusiasm The defeat of the Falls on Saturday evening was a matter of sincere regret to Timmins, Every rightâ€"thinking than here wanted the North Land team to win. Family rivalries and differences may arise among the towns of the North, but the communities here are all loyal to each other and to the fio,rth. ‘The spirit between the towns of the North is a friendly one, and the newspaper that attempts to make it otherwise is a prevaricator, a falsifier, a deviator from the truthâ€"in fact a proper poor prune. It is wellsknown that rivalry 16 the poi point of envy and bitterness exists between certain towns and cities in the South. This is a deplorable condiâ€" tion and the North desires nothing similar. Fortunately with whatever rivalry there may be between neighbouring towns in this North there is no bitterness, no malice and no hatred. Muntcipalities here thrive side by side with no more than a sort of family feeling of keen rivalry. And the North would keep it so. Accordingly there will be deep resentment both here and at Iroquois Falls over some comments this week in The Toronto Star. This smallâ€"minded newspaper referred to the telegram bearmv the news of the defeat of Iroquois Falls by Owen Sound as being as welcome in the paper town as a smallpox placard in Even such a Starâ€"like smart aleckâ€" TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 17th, 1927 A LIBEL ON THE TOWN OF TIMMINS AND o THE NORTH. $ Snblmptxonmm + ada _ _ â€"=<=~#2.00 per year United States | $800peryear ie 26 'l’elephones ~Residence 70 "GRAVEL AND SAND‘â€"AND PLACER March 17th, 1927 Thought is the orange of success Worry is merely the banana peelâ€" ing. Don‘t let this one slip by, Napoleon was not above asking inâ€" formation from one of his old soldiers. From the situation of the body it is believed in police circles that t had been lying where found for at least a week or ten days. The mild wéather of the past few days had melted the snow around the bundle and. léft it isolated on a small mound.= The clothing around it was discoloured giving rise to another theory that the body may have heen buried in the snow some months"ago. Little Irene Deering, of I\nl\land Lake, recently fell while skipping on the verandah of her home, and .susâ€" tained a sprained shoulder as a. rcsultr of the accident. A despatch from Sudbury this week says that wrapped. in portions of a woman ‘s unde1 o'arments, the: halfâ€" r:-~ on the banks of Nolan‘s Crea® near Sudbury. . Information of tE find came to Sudbury police through Wasil Pitryna, of Shaughnessy street who discovered the bundle lying a few feet above the high water mark ‘of the creek. While no arrests have been made, Sudbury police are investigatâ€" ing the case and it is expected that a charge of concealment of birth or murder will be laid soon.

It may be true that the opening of the roadway would benefit a few, but it is equally true that it would seriously injure the majority of the «Citizens, depriving them of a sports ground. It should also be noted that the athleyc field at present in use is only an expense to the Hfollm«rer, while it is a very material asset to the town and the townsâ€" }people. It would appear to be a foolish procedure‘to take any action hkely to deprive the town of an athletic park, at least until arrangements appear to be possible for the securing of some other site for the athletic events of the town. : BODY OF CHILD FOUND â€" .
