l e ts C onl ts ‘soldier was notifled that he was duly given the position of postmaster at Simcoe, Ont. Hon. Mr. Veniot‘s second exâ€" planation is no more successful than his first attempt. Mr. "Whittaker, the returned man who was selected by the Comâ€" mission, gives the lie direct to the latest explanation in its vital points. It would appear that the whole situation sums ‘up to this:â€"Thatâ€"Hon.

Veniot, Postmasterâ€"General has made another attempt to explain why he overâ€"ruled the appointment made by_ the Civil Service Commission when a crippled returned In a previous issue The Advance called attention to the injury done to young boys in town through the use of cigarettes. Doctors and others who have studied the matter agree that cigarette smoking is harmful so far as young lads are concerned. The sale of cigarettes to boys is strictly forbidden by law. It is a breach of the law to give cigarettes to boys under any conditions. Some merchants suggest that the sale of cigarettes to boys who produce a note from their parents is not illegal. The fact is that the Jlaw strictly prohibits the supplying of cigarettes to youngâ€" sters in any Notes do not legalize the saie of cigarâ€" ettes to minors. The reading of the law in the matter would suggest that parents who supply cigarettes to their growâ€" ing boys or girls or wilfully permitting the children to use the;n are breaking the law and are liable to penalty thereâ€" for. During the past few years some stores in Timmins have drifted into the habit of selling cigarettes to children without question, and apparently believing that no trouble Will result. Sometimes the sales are made thoughtlessly. â€"It would be well for the stores to completely discontinue this sort of illegality that is working serious injury to a number of boys. Chief of Police McLauchlan is planning to stop the practice of the sale of cigarettes to minors. Hereafter prosecutions will follow this form of offence. The stores should take warning in time and avoid unpleasant conseâ€" quences. In the interests of all concerned, the sale of .cigarâ€" ettes to minors should be stopped. - In discussing the resolution adopted by the Ontario Asâ€" sociated Boards of Trade in regard to the proposed belt line of roads for the North, The Toronto Globe seems to be under serious misapprehensions in the matter. In an ediâ€" Some of the British miners who were brought to Canada to assist in harvesting the crops in the West are quoted as complaining that conditions were too hard for them. In view of the record made by one Timmins lad, these grown men might well be ashamed of themsélves. These men had all their expenses paid to the West and they received a considerable amount of time and attention until th reached the West. The lad from Timmins, a boy of fifteen, worked at one of the lumber mills all summer and saved enough moneey to pay his passage to the West. He made the trip to Winnipeg without any care or attention from Government or other agencies. He secured a place for himself on a farm and he worked hard and well. Some days ago he returned home to Timmins, and this is what he had to show for his harvesting expsrience:â€"He came back looking well and feeling well; he had bought himself a nice outfit of clothes from his earnings in the West; and he had no less than $50.00 in cash when he reached home. The Advance would not trade a boy like that for a hunâ€". dred of the disgruntled adults who found nothing in the West but cause for complaint. A cheerful worker like this lad of fifteen will make the type of citizen that will deâ€" velop Canada on the best lines. it would take so much longer for the crops to properly rot on or in the ground. A sarcastic settler suggests that the continued rains are badly needed for the crops. Without these rains, he says, fires. The use of coal oil in this way endangers life and safety as well as property. All would do well to avoid alâ€" ways, and all ways, the use of coal oll or gasoline for startâ€" ing stove fires in view of the danger of starting house fires and causing serious danger and damage. Fire Chief Borland asks The Advance once more to warn people against the use of coal oil, gasoline and other similar products for the ‘purpose of lighting fires. Coal oil and gasoline all too often prove altogether too successful in the matter of making a fire go, starting fires of much gregter proportions than desired. The.use of such agents as kindâ€" lers is dangerous in the extreme. During the past few days Timmins has had one example of the danger in allowâ€" ing the use of these oils in connection with the igniting of In the death of Mr. T. F. King the town of Timmins loses good citizen and the whole North Land a helpful and thoughtful friend. The late Mr. King was one of the* pioâ€" neers of this part of the North Land, and his interest and earnest loyalty to the country were not only of great value ‘to the progress of this new land, but they also served as example and inspiration to others. Until the last year or two, when illâ€"health made it necessary for him to retire from many lines of activity that he had previously followed, he devoted a large amount of time and effort to the work of the Board of Trade and other agencies that sought to serve the advantage of the country and its people. He was generous to all worthy causes not only in money but interest and effort that often proved of special value. In public and in private life he was deservedly popular and his death is loss to the town and the district. | W !m ’l‘lull'ldty by: GEo un, Ovner and Pnblhbu Canada............$2.00 per year â€" United States..$3.00 per year Timmins, Ontario, Thursday, Oct. 18, 1928 Member of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association . ‘ line wagon m so that tmy may be used for | \| roadways for regular traffic.

It may be added that the happiest place of all is a town like Timmins that has all the city equipment and advantages, and still also has all the city turkey suppers, furnished by those who know how. In reâ€" gard to the turkey supper idea, the Argusâ€"Journal says:â€" "Living in the city may have its advantages but just now while the season of hot foOW! suppers is on in the ‘rural churches, the argument is all in favour of the country. One doubts whether even the new Royal York at Toronto will have anything on its menu quite so appetizing as those roast chickens stuffed with dressing which cause the church tables to groan at this season, or quite so palatable as the pumpkin piles which have a way of melting in the mouth, or even is another example of passing regulations after tragedies have occurred instead of before the accidents happen:~ In Quebec for some years a wrong condition prevailed through the careless attitude towards youngsters attending theatre performances. No one seemed to pay any attention toi children attending the shows, noon or night, and there did‘ not seem to be any thought as to whether some of the shows had good or ill effect, or whether the youngsters obtained the admission fees legally or otherwise. If they had the price they were admitted. Then a tragedy cccurred in a Quebec city, and several children lost their lives and others were seriously injured when an alarm of fire was given during a theatre performance and youngsters were crushed and trampled in a rush for the doors. After the tragedy had occurred, there was then all sorts of attention given to the problem of children attendi\ng motion picture theatres. Drastic laws resulted. As usual in such cases, the other extreme was touched. From extreme carselessness in the matter the law turned to what seems to be undue precaution. It would have been far better if action of moderate kind had been taken before the tragedy came. On the one hand it does not seem to be particularly harmâ€" | ful to a boy of 16 years to attend a motion picture, nor on the other hand, to follow the line of The Packet and Times, does it appear particularly wise to ma‘y off many boys of fourteen. . The Orillia Packet and Times points out the odd twists that may be ‘given to the law‘s pronouncements by linking isolated cases, as it were. In Quebec, says the Packet and Times, a boy who has attained the age of 14 may, with the consent of his parents, contract marriage, but even with the consent of his parents he cannot go to a moving picture show till he is 16. The law referred to by The Orillia Packet and Times in regard to boys attending motion picture shows wSs i8 Â¥. ('fi E4 ie lawâ€"breakers and not enough respect for those paid to enâ€" force the law is what has made cities like Chicago the lawâ€" less places they are. A local Scot has handed iw the following which may be new to some:â€""Why is it that on a cold morning Scots< men walk with their mouths open?" "Because there is a nip in the air!" A joke like that is liable to be a frost. hR h ioh WWeR Cc oo 38 C hx 48 ‘Reading the judge‘s learned statements it would appear that the policemen has no rights and no privileges, which is peculiar in view of the fact that they are chosen specially to represent the law which is supposed to express the will of the people. The judge stressed the freedom that should be assured to men in general by the police.: He emphasized the right of all men to liberty and so on. But if a newsâ€" paper were to say right out what it really thought of the line of talk induiged in by that judge, it is practically a foregone conclusion that the newspaperman would be clappâ€" ed in jail for contempt of court. It is noteworthy that the Judges who expect the police to stand so much will not stand very much themselves Too much consideration for A judge in Toronto the other day went out of his way tq stress the fact that policeman should not interfere with suspected criminals except in the gentlest way imaginable. When it looks like rain in this country these days, it usually is rain. The Advance has repeatedly urged, the completion of the belt line of roads for the North would double the attraction of this country for tourists; it would open up a wonderful country rich in timber, game, fish and scenery; it would make possible the development of noteworthy stretches of most desirable agricultural land; it would make possible the opehing up of mineral lands of great promise; and it would bind together all the communities of the North. The Adâ€" vance is earnestly in favour of the belt line of roads and the earliest completion of this roadway‘ as A means for the better development of the North. ul t h RENTâ€"One jlarge double bed: room with two single beds.
