Oone very striking point brought to light was the amount of relief that is being done and during the past weexr we have helped out two families. Ths committee of the Ladies‘ Auxiliâ€" ary are proving a great asset in this work. Bugles were blown and drums banged, but the final cutcome was the matter of bugle band be kept in abeyâ€" ance until the Post hears further from a communication sent to the Ordinâ€" ance Corps at Ottawa. The reason for the change has been caused through the resignation of the secretary, Comrade A. E. Mortimer, who placed ‘the Post in a very firm and strong position. It was with much reâ€" gret that the resignation was accepted and even yet persuasion may be brought to bear upon Comrade Morâ€" timer to resume his old position. Quite a long discussion took place at the genâ€" eral meeting on Wednesday, and two resolutions were passed regarding his resignation from the Post. Once again an old pen writes the news and doings of the Timmins Post for this column, and will try to uphold its standard and give for the benefit of public and members alike an outline of our activities.

The artâ€" Attractive Concert by the Ambulance Brigade The St. John Ambulance Brigade announce an attractive programme for the concert to be given in the New Empire theatre on Sunday evening "Another demonstration of the true spirit of brotherhood and ready help for the stranger within our gates has been witnessed recently in Larder Lake. Quite recently Mr. and Mrs. Eino Mommo arrived here from Kirkland Lake, to take up residence, a few days later Miss Aili Mommo, sister of Mr. Mommo, arrived to visit them, and imâ€" mediately after her arrival was seized by a very severe attack of pneumonia. Strangers in a strange place, with docâ€" tors miles away, and none too well fixed financially Mr. and Mrs. Mommo found themselves faced by the problem of caring for the invalid and securing the best possible attention for her. News of the young woman‘s illness, however, became quickly known in the community and ready help was immedâ€" lately forthcoming. In acknowledgâ€" ment of this help and the many kindâ€" nesses shown them Mr. Mommo has written a letter of thanks to The News in which he saysâ€"‘I feel I must take this public opportunity,, which is a small thing, indeed, to thank the folâ€" lowing inhabitants of Larder Lake for what they did for my sister. For I figure it out that the present life of my sister is due to the constant care of Mrs. Ggeo. Vincent, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Grainger, Mrs. Haggart, Mrs. W. Hansen, Mrs. Sheldon, Sarah Kempi, Mrs. and Miss Basham, Mrs. Bonnier and Mrs. Dubeau, who organized t.hem-f selves for a day and night fight a-' gainst the disease, and her re<>mex'y1 is undoubtedly due to their constant care. This is my first real experience of where such a load has been borne by neighbors, but I understand Lardey Lake has good record in helping others when the case is known to be worthy one. I cannot thank, those who helped, enough." Newspapers are often accused of preâ€" ferring to publish the mean things and the horrors of life, instead of the good things that may arise. This is not so. The ordinary newspaper (and that does not inclw@e certain and uncertain newspapers that might be named) miss no opportunities for extolling the good deeds and the good thoughts of life. The newspapers are restricted by the interest of the people in general and by the fact that ‘they must hold the mirror up to life. At the same time The Advance is willing to wager that The Northern News of Kirkland Lake got more pleasure out of publishing an article last week about the striking kindness and ready help of some ladies in Larder Lake to a family in need of nursing aid and att,entlon than the newspaper received from all the police court news it ever printed, or all the murder, suicide or other tragedy cases coming to its attention in any six months. The article in question was a despatch from the Larder Lake correâ€" spondent at Larder Lake and read as followsâ€" LADIES OF LARDER LAKE sHOW THE NORTHERN SPIRIT Mention was made of the St. Patrick Day dance and it will be fully reviewed in later issues .of this paper. The entertainment committee are working on plans for the Vimy banquet and ancther big night is planned. If there is any member who would like to fulfil the duties of secretary of the Post, the president or any member of the executive will be pleased to hand in his name. In closing this week‘s letter and havyâ€" ng in mind the Latin in the earlier paragraphs the writer suggests / that "semper fidelis" be adopted as our motâ€" In passing it would be well to menâ€" tion what the writer thought was a matter of vital importance to the Canâ€" adian Legion, this being am editorial in last week‘s Porcupins Advance. The article dealt with the inadequate facilities at Haileybury jail for insane patients and the suicide of two persons in a very short time, and asking the government to do something to remedy this condition. The Legion can help in this matter by forwarding resoluâ€" tions, etec. In the past two years we have had three very bad cases of shellâ€" shock among the returned men in the camp. When taken under care they have been placed in ther Timmins police court cells, and then forwarded to Haileybury, where they are held until such time as removal can be made to an institution for treatment. One such case aroused quite a lot of critiâ€" cism against the Legion as the patient‘s friends looked upon the situation that the man had been placed in jail for creating a disturbance. Despite the fact that the Legion tried to explain that there was no other place available to keep these unfortunate men, his friends were of the opinion that the Timmins Post were to blame for having the man kept in jail. There is not the least doubt that the same thing applies to several towns in this districsts and a united effort should be made to have proper accommodation made for these men. The Timmins jail, it should be notâ€" ed, has a padded cell for such cases, and does give them good care. mittee. â€"W. A.

The Timâ€" mins Welsh Choir is also to give a number of selections on the evening‘s programme. It is thought that the programme as now outlined will prove one of the most pleasing and enjoyable yet presented at any similar event reâ€" cently. Scarlet fever would have killed 122,â€" 000 whereas the actual number of deaths was 5,390. The totals for the whole list of disâ€" eases computed for the two periods were 600,000 for 1847â€"1850, and 123 for 1916â€"1919, showing a saving of over half a million lives or 125,000 annually in England and Wales alone, which may be credited to the advance of medical science. To this it may be added that the same benefit from public health serâ€" vice obtains in Canada, in Ontario, in the North Land, in Timmins. What is chiefly needed now is a wholeâ€"heartâ€" ed support by the people of the efforts along this line for the general good. A close observance of the very easy terms of quarantine toâ€"day is one way the public may help. Smallpox would have killed 42,000 whereas the actual number of deaths was 110. Cholera would have killed 114,000 instead of which there were no deaths from cholera for 30 years. Typhoid would have killed 70,000 whereas the actual number of desaths was 3,626. There is a saying that has become about a proverb about the man who could not see the forest for the trees. If people are too close to the forest of health matters to see by the trees of local ideas, it might be well ‘to reâ€" member that local and provincial health authorities are doing the same sort of service as other similar bodies elsewhere. And looking elsewhere, the work accomplished is certainly impresâ€" sive. A London, England, journal, ‘"The Diplomate," recently referred to the fact that the greatest saviour of life toâ€"day is the public health official, who by the practice of preventive medicine is saving from unnecessary sickness and premature death countless thousands of people who go their everyâ€"day way, utterly unconscious for the most. part of what is being done for them. "The Diplomate‘‘ in proof of the assertion quotes from an astoundâ€" ing summary made public by Sir Wilâ€" liam Hunter in regard to the achieveâ€" ments in disease prevention in England and Walss, A contrast is made beâ€" tween the four years of 1847, 1848, 1849 and .1850, and the four years of 1916, 1917, 1918 and 1919, showing what would have been the results if the death rate for different diseases had been the same in the secondâ€"named fourâ€"year period as in the first. â€"~Among the diseases mentioned are the followâ€" ing, the number who would have died had the conditions and mortality reâ€" mained the same in 1916â€"1919 as had obtained in 1847â€"1850 being contrasted with the deaths actually occurring in the latter fourâ€"year period :â€" Typhus would have killed 100,000, whereas the actual number of deaths was 7. It is a fact that people generally do not realize the value of the public health work done toâ€"day. On various occasions The Advance has called atâ€" tention to the benefit accruing to Timâ€" mins, for instance, from the activities and skill of the local medical health officer and the local board of health. Timmins has been remarkably free from epidemics of all kinds that have visited practicaly all other towns similarly situated. The epidemics that have struck here might well be chargâ€" ed to the lack of attention of many of the people to the advice of the health authorities, to a selfish disregard of quarantinge, and to a general thoughtâ€" less neglect of the excellent suggestions made by the medical health officer and the board of health. Through the work of the local medical health offiâ€" cer, the town is practically guaranteed against any smallpox epidemic for some years to come. The medical health officer, in coâ€"operation with the board of health and the Porcupine Medical Association, and with the support of the town council, last year made a move that if continued will msan the entire elimina;ion of the menace of diphtheria here. This was the inoâ€" culation of children with the toxoid that gives lifeâ€"long immunity from this disease. In other ways the health of the people of the town has been guarded and improved. . Equal credit should be given to the medical health officer and the board of health in Tisâ€" dale township for the improvement in public health matters. There is much credit also due to the provincial board of health and while there is a considerâ€" able distance yet to go to secure the best health service in the province and the Dominion, it surely must be admitâ€" ted that much good is being accomâ€" plished. What seems to be needed is full appreciation of the work by the people and the fullest coâ€"operation from citizens in general. VALUE OF PUBLIG HEALTH WORK SHOWN BY FIGURES Comparison of Figures in Former Times with Those of Toâ€"day in Certain Dreaded Diseases Shows Value of Work Beâ€" ing Done. This (Thursday) evening a card party and bean supper will be held in the I.O. O.F. hall, commencing at 8.30 p.m., unâ€" der the auspices of the Timmins Reâ€" bekahs.

Insurance in force in Canada amounts to almost a billion dollars,, being $947,927,397. These figures are particularly interestâ€" ing in view of the fact that the Metroâ€" politan is a mutual company, that is, it has no stockholders but is owned by the policyholders themselves who are the sole beneficiaries in the company‘s progress. In the latter part of the past year the soundness of life insurâ€" ance as an investment, as well as a | protection, was brought home to people the increasing appreciation of this fact is reflected in the greater amount of new insurance issued in 1929, which totalled $232,324,966 an increase of over twenty millions of dollars. This total comprises Ordinary, Industria@rl and Group policies, all of which show a subâ€" ! stantial increase.

One can readily appreciate the huâ€" miliation, then, when in order to be sure of locating the place, a corresponâ€" dent describes it as "near Ottawa.‘" "The pioneers keep on pushing farâ€" ther towards the Arctic circle, and towns which were once on the fronâ€" tier are rapidly being léft behind. It may be that in a hundred years or so, North Bay may no longer be able to justify its claim to be part of the North, but until then we feel that the majority of the towns to north of us will not refuse to admit us to their august company, and will feel that their contributions to the stone gateâ€" way at the eastern entrance to our city will not have been spent in vain." Brockville Recorder and Times:â€"A gentleman once stepped into a Postâ€" office in London, England, to which the cable office is attached, and wrote in his best hand, "Brockville, Canada.‘" A pair of twinklink eyes looked up at the chap, and the young lady deliberately scratched out the word "Canada." She inquired if the gentlemn lived in Brockâ€" ville. The answer was "Yes," and she Highâ€"Grade Samples From Week‘s Run of the Press Nevertheless North Bay Not Recognized as North Despite the following editorial from The North Bay Nugget last week most people in the North will continue to agree with The Northern News that North Bay is not of this North, but despite all its ambitions is still but a more or less typical Old Ontario town after all, The editorial says:â€"â€" "Judging from an editorial in a reâ€" cent edition of The Northern News, the editor of our Kirkland Lake contemâ€" porary is not feeling quite as friendly as he might towards North Bay., In no uncertain tones he deplores the claims of this city to be regarded as a. part of Northern Ontario, and feels that the appropriate answer on the part of the "real" north would be to adopt the name of Greater Ontario. According to our brother scribs, we broadcast the fact that our main purâ€" pose of existence is to serve only as the gateway to the North, unaccountâ€" ably overlooking the fact that there are one or two other claims for our usefulness. He also fails to notice that our claim is, not to be the gateway TO the North, but to be the gateway OF the North, which is a vastly different matter. Toronto, for instance, could quite justifiably claim to be one of many gateways to the North, with claiming to be an actual part of the region itself. Of course, the great question, and one which will never be settled satisfactorily, is, where exactly does the North begin?
