Elsewhere in this issue will be found several references to the case against the editor of the Finnish Sudbury paper, Vapaus, who was recently arrested on charges of making derogatory remarks about the King. Mention is also to the attitude of apparent disloyalty of a number of Finâ€" landers in Canada. It is only fair to emphasize the fact that the proportion of Finlanders in Canada who are disâ€" loyal to this country is very small when considered along with the large number who in their hearts desire to be grateful and appreciative for the freedom, the comfort and the peace they have found in this new land. Not only should this fact be recognized by all Canadians of British birth, but effort also should be made to assist the loyal Finlanders in their efforts to be good citizens of Canada. The communists apparently have a very comprehensive orâ€" ganization apparently designed to breed discontent and disâ€" loyalty. The communists are noisy and assertive far beyond their numbers or importance. They are able often by their boldness and presumption to deceive new arrivals as to their nA c on mt tPcfiA o B in ts powers and standing, and sometimes to terrorize older resiâ€" dents by their intolerant bullying. All Finlanders who are loyal to this country and wish for no more than to be fair and grateful to this country where their condition has been immensely improved should defy the ravings and threats of the communists. They will find all the communist fury no more than empty wind. Canadians of British stock should assist in any way possible in making this apparent to the wellâ€"disposed Finlanders here. In all the consideration of the utterances of newspapers like Vapaus, of Sudbury, it should be remembered that in Port Arthur there is another type of Finnish newspaper. Its title may be translated as "Canada News," and it has shown a fine spirit of fair play, good sportsmanship and gratitude. It emphasizes to its Finnish readers the fact that in Canada they have found a measure of liberty, peace and comfort that they never knew before. and that they would be ingrates as well as fools if At Sudbury some days ago an old gentleman was before the magistrate on a charge of vagrancy. He was asked to enter a plea as to whether or not he was an ‘"idle, worthless fellow." He was a veteran of the Northwest Rebellion, wellâ€"known bushman of the district for years that go back beyond the memory of most meon alive toâ€"day, and he has reached the ripe old age of 85 years. Until a short time ago he worked. each day in spite of advancing years. His last work was at Chapleau. Failing health has now made furâ€" ther wori; impossible and he was faced with the charge of vagraney, when in truth his only crime was no more than BA combinatlon of illâ€"heaith, old age and poverty. Asked if he would like to go to the prison farm at Burwash he ansâ€" wered very emphatically, "No, no, no! Before I‘ll go there I‘ll get out and walk like a man. Why, T‘d still be working, if I was in shape." To the credit of the court it must be said that the magistrate practically refused to commit the accused as a vagrant. Instead plans were made to send him to a distant town in Ontario where he had friends who by discontent and disoxder they prejudice the better situaâ€" tion in which they are placed. There is one thing that scotsmen are generous about givingâ€"and that is, good wishes for a guid new year! To one and all and everybody and friends The Advance sincerely wishes a very happy and prospsrous New Year. May 1929 be the best yet. _ TIMMIN®, ONTARIO OFFICZ 26â€"â€"â€"â€"PHONESâ€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 Member of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association Published Every Thursday by: GEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: Canaua........... $2.00 per year United States .. $3.00 per year Cantata so Effectively Presented by Timmins Choral Society to be Given in St. Anthony Parâ€" ich Hall uses were specially good.

All will agree that the day before Christmas should be a holiday to allow proper preparation for the event. Then Christmas Day itself should be devoted as exclusively as possible to the children. the wife, the family, and the unâ€" fortunates who happen to have no home handy when Christmas overtakes them. No dissent thus far! Well then, the next day might be a day to call up all the spirits that Tommy Torrance ever heard of,â€"and finally put them down! Loud and rapturous applause from many quarters! And the fourth day might be termed ‘"Recovery Day!" It sounds as if the idea of a fourâ€"day Christmas were very popular, indeed! Ripley, the cartoonist, who provides the illustrated feaâ€" ture, "Believe It or Not," for the daily newspapers, pictures Major Coghlan, of the St. Louis Postâ€"Despatch, who has been a printer for 80 years. Major Coghlan must have set up some jokes a large number of times. He ought to be able to tell quite a few new one‘s" on the Scotchman. A twoâ€"cent postal rate on letters from Canada to Great PBritain is to be reâ€"established by Canada, and, perhaps, someone may give Hon. Mr. Veniot credit for this. It may have been the postmasterâ€"general who thought of reâ€"inauâ€" curating this twoâ€"cent letter rate. After what the "Oneâ€" Horse Weeklies" have said about him recently he must have felt very much like two cents! Newspapers in general and some technical journals in narticular have been featuring recently the story of John DPahigren, a North Dakota farmer, who is creating a senâ€" sation in the oil and mining world by his system of finding cil and minerals. He calls his plan, "magnetic pull" and claims that as he rides over the country he can "feel" whenâ€" ever he passes over oil and mineral. According to the acâ€" counts given of this man, he can feel the pull from oil or metal miles away and he will know just where to go to follow the pull. When he gets over the exact spot he says, "This is the place." There have been lots of men just like that up in this North Country. But the man with the "pull" usually does not succeed up here in mining as well as the man with the "push." The Advance this Christmas time has received so many Christmas greetings and good wishes from firms and indiâ€" viduals, readers, advertisers, customers, that it is impossible to acknowledge them all except in this general way that all zood wishes and kindly thoughts are reciprocated at this season of the year A newspaperman visiting Timmins this week asked the old question, "Do people read editorials?" Does it matter much anyway? Editors get a lot of fun writing them, and at Christmas time everyone will agree that even editors are entitled to some fun. In these days when all ills are supposed to be removable ‘ legislation, why not pass a law against the "morning after‘"?. might assist him for the féw‘ years ‘he Hks left of the life that was a busy, honest and a useful one. The poliee are in no way to bmme for laymé t.he charge of vagrant:y against this old gentleman. There is no other way to ‘deal with such cases. which is a fact that is certainly no credit to our boasted civilization. Effort was made to get the old genâ€" tleman into an Old Man‘s Home, but there was no room. At this season the words "there was no room" will have a particularly familiar sound. There was no room in the inn for the Babe nineteen hundred and twentyâ€"eight years ago, and toâ€"day there is no room for the Old Man who has done his part in the world but has encountered illâ€"fortune or failâ€" ure to show the ucquisitive spirit, perhaps, being too thoughtful of his fellows. Unless the world is ready to adâ€" mit that progress can not be made even in two thousand vears, the problem of what to do with good people who need care and attention in their declining years will have to be jealt with in this country. The North Land boasts of its zreat wealth of forest, stream and mine, and the boast is well founded. But what has the North to say about its old people who have served as pioneers and citizens and in old age and illâ€"health find "there is no room" except in the jails of the country?

Ofâ€" cer Perreault happened to hear casuâ€" ally of some people in town who had been getting some big bargains in buyâ€" ing watches and rings at reduced: prices. At the same time he knew thati the North Bay police had just sent out a circular seeking the arrest of two’ men suspected of robbing a jewelery store in the city. The circular gave a description of the stolen goods and an idea of what the suspected men were like. The officer connected the cir-l cular and the sellers of watches amdl rings here and after some good work was able to arrest the two men, one, of whom was wearing ring of odd| type accurately described in the circu-l lar. It took more clever work by the| police to locate the suitcases of thei young men but these were eventuallyl secured and found to contain goods| answering to the description of the a\r«l ticles taken by the burglars at North Bay. The owner of the North Bay store came to Timmins this week and | identified most of the recovered goods while being reasonably sure that all| the watches and rings found belonged to him. The one young man gave the name of James Constant, though he| has also the alias of Stanley Barnard. He proved a nuisance at the jail, pounding for hours on stretch on the door of his cell and finally getting| part way out of his cell, as noted elseâ€" | where in this issue. The other youngl fellow, some two or three years youngâ€" ; er probably nineteen gave the name of ; Geaghega, though his name is said to be Gorman. He was recently in Co-i balt, while the older lad‘s home is supâ€"| posed to be at Sault Ste. Marie. In’ police court this morning Barnard wasi sentenced to not less than six months nor more than eighteen months in the| reformatory on the charge of possess-| ing stolen goods knowing them to be | stolen. None of the goods identified as, stolen being found on Gorman, and the other fellow very evidently being| the ringleader, if not the whole Workst in the case, the case against Gorman was dismissed. Alphonse Turcotte in connection with a forged cheque was given from 3 to 18 months in the Ontario Reformatory. He was on suspended sentence in conâ€" nection with a previous charge of simiâ€" lar character. A wife charged her husband beating her. He was bound 0 keep the peace. Some assault were adjourned to next week. This morning over the A. E. Moysey Co. private wire the following inforâ€" mation was received from a very roliâ€" able source:â€"‘"Wrightâ€"Hargreaves at the 1300â€"ft. level in the downward exâ€" tension of the new ore body develoned on the 1250â€"ft. level shows considerable free gold. Two thousand level north vein continuing strong in highâ€"grade to the east. The 1375â€"ft. level should reach new ore any day.
