The average death rate in Canada from dphtheria is 1200. Yet diphtheria can be prevented, easily and safely. Several years ago scientists discovered a method of immunizing people against it, just as they are vaccinated against smallpox. There are still some people left who do not believe in the efficacy of vaccination against smallpox. To these it should be pointed out that smallpox toâ€"day is comparatively rare to what it used to be and the comparâ€" atively few cases that do «occur are very mild when considered alongside of the oldâ€"time scourge. There are no more epidemics of smallpox except those directly traceable to failure to follow the advice of the medica) health authorities. Deaths from smallpox are rare. Men and women disfigured by the disease were a common sight on the streets in this country, now such a case is a distinct rarity. The medical health officers have all the best of the argument. They promised improveâ€" ment from vaccination for smallpix and the goods have certainly been deâ€" livered. The same truth «a@pplies to the immunizing for the prevention of diphtheria. A campaign in Brantford, Ontario, has practically wiped out diphtheria there. Other towns and cities give similar reports. In Timâ€" mins there was not a single case of diphtheria last year. This year there has been one but it was an adult. The immunizing works best with children, and gives lifeâ€"long immunity from the disease. A large number of children were immunized here last year. It is planned ‘to give the treatment each year to other children. This plan would wipe out chance of danger from diphtheria in a few years. It appears to be a plan that is well worth trying and well worth spending money for. North Bay Nuggetâ€"These days, one can play almost every instrument autoâ€" matically except the bagpipes. PRACTICAL ELIMINATION OF DIPHTHERIA POSSIBLE ABOUT SCHOOL AFFAIRS IN PROVINGE OF QUEBEG Reply by Mr. W. H. Dawson, of Iroâ€" quois Falls, in Reference to Prevâ€" ious Letter on the matter in The Advance The Editor, Porcupine Advance Timmins, Ont. The following letter was receivea last week but too late for publication in that issue. It is from Mr. W. H. Dawson, of Iroquois Falls, and is in reply to aa letter published in The Adâ€" vance the previous week from Mr. J. A. Belanger, of Timmins, Mr. Belanger‘s letter in turn being in reply to a comâ€" munication from Mr. Dawsonâ€" Sirâ€"In the last issue of your paper, Mr. J. A. Belanger, Timmins, Ont. outâ€" lines the Assessment Act of the Provâ€" ince of Quebec, in order to find out where the injustice might be towards the minority in that Province in reâ€" ference to the division of schcol taxes, also that. my recent letter leaves with your readers the impression that the division of school taxes in Quebec is unjust to the minority and that you want to have for your readers the best of information. He closes his letâ€" ter with the opinion that everybody would agree that I am harder to please than my Protestant friends in Quebec, who are satisfied. Mr. Joseph Cohen (Montrealâ€"St. Lawrence) speaking in the Budget Deâ€" bate in the Legislative Assembly,,Queâ€" bec, on last Wednesday, Feb. 12th says in part: "And while I am on the matter of education it might be well, to speak for half a moment on a burning issue in the Province of Quebec, and particâ€" ularly in Montreal. This is not the time to discuss what is known as the Jewish school question in this House. That time will come, as it must come, during this session, for I think that the Government realizes that this sitâ€" uation must be cleared up, and must be done, as I have said, this session." If Mr. Belanger would read some of the journals in the Province of Quebec, cther than those under the control ofr the present political or religious leadâ€" ers, he would readily see that the minâ€" ority in Quebec is far from being satisâ€" fied with the present school laws, or the division of school taxes as outlined by his letter last week. This burning issue, Mr. Cohen refers to, relates to the treatment his people receive as the result of the unfairness of the division of school taxes paid by corporate bodies and nonâ€"catholic tax payers into the neutral panel. The dissatisfaction of the minority in Quebec has been smouldering for years and it is only a matter of time until it bursts out in an unquenchable flame and remains burning until the Quebec minority reâ€" ceives from the Government privileges equal at least to that given to the minority in Ontario. There is no common school in Quebec for the education of all, on equal terms and privileges, such as. our undenomâ€" minational common school in Ontario. If there was, there would be no need for dissentient schools there, nor deâ€" mand for them. The basic principle of the school of the majority in that Province is a sectarian class school, a school for the teaching of the prayers, precepts, practices, history and beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church. The school of the nonâ€"catholic minority in Quebec is somewhat similar to our common school in Ontario. The writer received his elementary education in one of these Quebec schools, so naturâ€" ally has a knowledge of its course of study. The teacher at that time, reâ€" ceived a salary of eighteen dollars per month for a term of nine months. It may be possible that a teacher in that school now may receive at least twice that much. The Secretary Treasurer of the school section collected tihne school taxes from the Protestant rateâ€" payers as well as 40 cents per month for each child attending school and 80 cents per month were charged Irish Catholic parents who paid their taxes to the French Roman Catholic school and sent their children to the Protestant school. The Secretary treasurer received 7¢{, on ail collections of this nature as compensation for his service. In Ontario Separate School taxes are not only collected by the Municipality and the cost of this work charged to the general rate but if there is a deficit in their school requ:â€" sition and insufficient money has been levied and collected to meet their school requirements, this deficit is also taken out of the general Township rate. The school taxes on corporate proâ€" perty in Quebec must be placed in the neutral panel, and in spite of the fact that the majority, of the stock held in this corporate property is owned by nonâ€"catholics it is divided between the two school systems on a basis of school enrollment in the rural sections and on a basis of population in Montreal and Quebec; but instead of the Proâ€" testant school getting a 2 to 1 shot on the division of the neutral panel money as illustrated by Mr. Belanger the averâ€" age division over the whole province would be more like 12.5 out of 100. A conservative estimate of the amount of Protestant taxes diverted to the Roman Catholic Schools by the medium of the neutral panel in the City of Montreal alone might be fixed at One Million Dollars. When you compare the treatment given to the minority in the Province of Quebec through the division of the taxes of the corporate bodies to that given the separate school supporters in Ontario as outlined in my last letter and when you also consider that our denominational separate schools were imposed cn Ontario by the vote of Quebec, I am of the opinion that our Iroquois Falls, Ont THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO February, 18, 1930 THREE ELECTIONS NEEDED FOR ANSONVILLE COUNCIL This year the township of Calvert had as much trouble getting a townâ€" ship council as Timmins had a couple of years ago when a couple of extra nominations were required to fill all the council sects. In January the 1930 Calvert townâ€" ship council was elected by acclamation, the councilllors being E. Montfort, E. Nosov, L. Smith and W. Gouthier. Subsequently, E. Montfort, who is a lawyer at Ansonville, was disqualified on the grounds that his taxes for the previous year had not been paid. Mr. Montfort said that the property in question was simply held in trust by, him and that he did not accordingly owe taxes to the township. There was a second election held on Jan. 16th to fill this vacancy, and Mr. Montfort was elected over A. E. Lapalme. Then it was discovered that W. Gauthier, one of those elected by acclamation, had not taken the oath of office within the prescribed time, and L. Smith resigned his place. This left two avacancies and the third nomination was held on Feb. 8th. At this third nomination there were four nominated for the two vacant seats, these four being O. Sanscartier, A. Chalut, J. Romain and A. E. Laâ€" palme. There was much interest taken in the contest on Feb. 19th, the vote being ‘heavy. Messrs J. Romain and A. E. Lapalme were the two electea. The votes received were as follows:â€" Lapalme, 295; Romain, 289; Chalut, 286; Sanscartier, 284. It will be noticâ€" ed how close the vote was.. Only eleven votes separated the highest from the lowest. It may be judged that another election will bring out a very keen batâ€" tle. And there is much chance for anâ€" other election. It is said that effort is likely to be made to unseat one of the present councillors on the ground of unpaid taxes. If this is done, there will be a fourth election at Ansonville. An item going the rounds of the press at the present time says that among the mining companies which were forced _ to discontinue operations through the voluntary assignment of Stobie, Forlong Co., was Tashota Mines, whose properties are situated a short distance south of the main transâ€" continental line of the C.N.R., 320 miles west of Cochrane, Ont. ‘The shutâ€"down could not have come at a more unforâ€" tunate time for this company, as after two years of active development the most interesting stage to date had just been reached. TASHOTA MINES CLOSED OVER BROKERAGE TROUBLE Government ought to mark time on the granting of further concessions in this Province until either the Quebec minâ€" ority receives at least equal privileges, or failing this, our Assessment Act should go through a series of reducing exercises that would strip it of all superfluous privileges granted to the Separate School supporters since 1867.

Dawson In a recent issue of The Perth Courâ€" ier, published at Perth, Ontario, the following reference is made to a visit to the town of Perth by Mr. S. Mcâ€" Chesney, of Timmins,. after an absence from that place of fiftyâ€"five years. In that length of time there have inevitâ€" ably been a great many changes, and | Mr. McChesney would not be likely to recognize his old town, nor would t.here be many in the town who would be . likely to recognize Mr. McChesney after more than half a century of absence. In referring to the visits The Perth Courier saysâ€" "Mr. Samuel McChesney of Timmins is visiting with relatives in the Perth district, after an absence from Perth of 55 years. The McChesney family lived on Drummond street, east, at one time. As a young man Mr. McChesney worked in the sawmill at Glen Tay of the late Mr. Thos. Allan. While here last week he met his old chum and fellow workman at the AUan sawâ€"mill, Mr. W. J. McCabe and the two indulged in a real reâ€"union and discussion of old times. The Town Hall is about the only Perth building still familiar to Mr. McChesney. At present Mr. McChesâ€" ney is visiting in Elphin and vicinity where he has relatives 1 l l l ocm enc iss ue mc James Na‘phin, a man from Latchâ€" ford, found that a drunken solo could be as expensive as a party. He was charged in Cobalt court some days ago. The previncial police charged Naphin with having liquor illegally in his posâ€" session and on this court he was senâ€" tenced to pay $100.00 and costs or to serve three months in jail. A Cobalt lady followed up with a charge of asâ€" sault. The Cobalt lady alleged that he skinned her nose and broke a tooth when she refused him admission to her house. He got two months in lieu of paying a fine for the assault charge, the sentence to run concurrently with the other jail term. Had Naphin paid the fines\ imposed the drunk would have cost him about $150.00. Taking the jail term alternatives his party costs him three months of time. 8. McChesney Reâ€"Visits Perth After 55 Years TO ASK AGAIN FOR POWER TO BUILD PATRICIA RAILWAY Legislative authority to build a 40â€" mile line of light railway from a point near Gold Pines to the heart of the Woman Lake mining field in the Paâ€" tricia district will be asked again in the Ontario Legislature this session. Those behind the venture are chiefly Toronto men with mining interests in the Patricia area. They want to conâ€" struct the railway to provide transâ€" portation facilities for the district with A Finnishâ€"Canadian gentleman livâ€" ing in Waters township was last week awarded $250.00 damages and his wife $500.00 damages from The Sudbury Star last week at the district sitting of the Supreme Court of Ontario, with Mr. Justice D. M. Wright presiding. The case arose from an article in The Sudbury Star on Jan. 12th, 1929, in which an attack was made on comâ€" munist doctrines in regard to marriage and an advertisement was quoted from Vapaus, the Finnish newspaper at Sudâ€" bury, the reference, according to the plaintiffs, making it appear that the couple named were not married accordâ€" ing to the laws of the land. The couple were duly married with all respect to Canadian law and custom, and as soon as this was learned The Star made very complete apology and correction. The couple, however, proceeded with the case for damages against The Star. In his address to the jury Mr. Justice Wright pointed out that consideration should be given to the fact that The Star had made such prompt and comâ€" plete apology. Also, to the other fact that there had been no personal malice, PROVED EXPENSIVE DRUNK FOR MAN FROM LATCHFORD a view to the more speedy and effecâ€" tive development of the country affectâ€" ed. A similar bill was before the Legislature last session but was laid over without action. According to reâ€" ports from Toronto the backers of the proposed light railway say that they will keep on pressing this particular bill on the attention of the Legislature until it is either accepted or some other form of transportation is provided for the important mining area referred to in the desired legislation. AWARDED DAMAGES FOR REFERENCE TO MARRIAGE as the editor of The Star did not even know the couple previous to the publicâ€" ation of the article. The Star also facilitated matters by admitting pubâ€" lication of the article and in other ways accepting full responsibility of the matâ€" ter. The defence of The Star was largely to the effect that the article complained of was an attack upon the communist doctrines, and not upon any individuals, and that it was published in the interests of the public. The plaintiffs held that the publication of the article left the impression that they had been living together without a marriage license or legal ceromony and that was not true as they had been properly married according to the laws of Canada. They also objected to being classed as thus inclined and had no particular sympathy with that sors of doctrine. On the stand both admitâ€" ted that they had continued to enjoy the respect of their friends and acâ€" quantances after the publication of the article complained of, but the man also said he felt he was entitled to some compensation and that the object of the action was "in case of future develâ€" opments which might have an effect on the building up of his poultry business."

At Sudbury this week Tony Kostuk, who pleaded guilty to the attempted murder of Mary Lydik, his common law wife, with whom he was not living at the time, and whom he was accused of shooting from a yard at the rear of her residence, was sentenced by Mr. Justice Wright to serve five years in Kingston penitentiary. In passing sentence the judge pointed out to Kosâ€" tuk that he might have been sentenced to a life term, but he was inclined to be lenient in view of the poor state of the prisoner‘s health.
