The Cochrane Board of Trade has a resolution before the Northern Onâ€" tario Associated Boards of Trade sesâ€" sion to be held at Cochrane on Tuesâ€" day of next week, Sept. 16th, in regarc to this question, the resolution being as follows:â€" Now therefore be it resolved: That the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade at its semiâ€"annual meeting held at Cochrane, on Septemâ€" ber 16th, 1930, go on record as endorsâ€" ing the above expedition and pledging its support, both moral and financial. Whereas, there is presently being orâ€" ganized a motor expedition to cross Canada on tires in 1931 to prove the feasibility of a Transâ€"Canada highway; POLICEMAN SHOT WHILE TRYING TO MAKE ARREST Last week J. C. McNicholl, a conâ€" stable on the Crowland police force, was killed while attempting to arrest a man named John Kovak on a charge of carrying firearms. The policeman received the full charge of a doubleâ€" barrelled 12â€"gauge shot gun in the face, his head being practically severed from his body. Kovak, who is accused of the killing of the policeman, was Jlater found cowering in the basement of his home. He was placed under arrest by High Constable H. O. Finger, who will be remembered here as on the proâ€" vincial police force at Timmins, and later at Kirkland Lake. Kovak was charged with murder and committed to jail without being asked to plead. The charge was laid by High County Constable H. O. Finger. And whereas this expedition promotâ€" ed by M. E. Wharton Shaw has taken for its slogan "Coast to Coast in Canâ€" ada, via. Cochrane 1931. And whereas, this expedition intends to use the Ferguson highway to Hearst and to go onwards from this point, thus promoting the advantages of laying out the Transâ€"Canada highway through Cochrane and Hearst; Kincarfdline _ Reviewâ€"Reporter:â€"No more than will gasoline mix with booze will unemployment mix with booze. There is one thing that is hard to unâ€" derstand and that is how people can be hard up, out of work, obtainâ€" ing financial assistance from difâ€" ferent sources, yet be able to fino enough money to have liquor permits and to purchase liquor. The fact of the matter is the Liquor Control Board should not allow the sale of liquor to any person who is out of emplioyment or is receiving financial assistance from public funds. It should not be necesâ€" sary for a municipality to have to act in such cases, when this is clearly the duty of the Liquor Board. ochrane Board of Trade Has Resoluâ€" tion Regarding Motor Expedition Planned to Cross Canada Next Year. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO An article received from the Canaâ€" dian Medical Association urges attention in regard to measles and points out that this common disease of childhood is liable to have serious reâ€" sults. It will be surprising to many to know that "this disease comes second as a cause of death among the common communicable diseases cccurring in young children," but the Medical Asâ€" sociation knows its measles. The article by the Canadian Medical Association is as follows:â€" Medical Association â€" Warns About Measles Measles is perhaps the most easily transmitted of all the communicable diseases. As a result, it is a diseasse of such common occurrence, that many prrople regard it as inevitable, and so do little or nothing to prevent its spread. Inded, many parents think that it is inescapable, and rather welâ€" come it so that it may be over and done with. The old fellow was so pleased with the mirror that he took it home with him, stole up to the attic and put it in an old box where he kept his treasures. But his wife was watching him, and that night she slipped out of bed crept up to the attic and opened the box. "HMuh," she said, looking at the mirâ€" ror, "so that‘s the old hag he‘s been chasing after." Everyone is susceptible to measles. The most important thing to know about measles is that the younger the child, the more serious is the attack likely to be. We say "serious," because in spite of the commonly accepted idea that measles, at the worst, is only anâ€" noying, it is a fact that measles is seriâ€" ous because of the injuries and deaths it causes. An old Tennessee mountaineer, who had never seen a looking glass, found one that some tourist had dropped. Upon looking at it he said, "Well, gosh durn it, if it isn‘t my Pappy. I never knowed he had his pitcher took." Deaths from measles? Yes, indeed. This disease which is regarded so lightly comes second as a cause of death among the common communicâ€" able diseases occurring in young chilâ€" dren. â€"The number of deaths varies from year to year as epidemics of the disease occur, but few years pass which do not see several hundreds of young children fall victims to measles, and the younger the children affected, the higher the percentage of those who succumb. Measles is spread in the droplets from the nose and throat of a case, and unâ€" fortunately, the cause succeeds in spreading the disease in ithis way for some days before the appearance of the rash, Because measles is spreat during this period, it makes it most difficult to control, as, in many cases, the disease is not suspected, or the child is thought to have only a cold in the head, or, as is the common opinâ€" ion, even though it is measles, there is nothing to worry about, and so the child is allowed to mix with other chilâ€" dren and no care is taken to control the spread of the disease. The child who has been exposed to measles should be carefully watched and put to bed on the first appearance of watery eyes. It would be better still to put the child to bed eight days after his exposure to infection, because the child who develoyp»; his attack of measles when in bed is likely to escape comâ€" plications. One other point to be mentioned is that simple measles does not cause many deaths. Measles, however, gives rise to many complications, prarticularly bronchoâ€"pneumonia, and it is the comâ€" plications of measles which are so often fatal. During an atiack and while the paâ€" tient is convalescing from measles, he should receive the careful attention he requires in any serious condition, one of which is measles. We have presented these facts beâ€" cause we want parents to realize that measles is a serious disease. Children should be safeguarded from infection. We have said that the younger the child, the more serious the effects of the disease, hence the more need for precautions. An Impersonal Inspection MINE AFFIRMS RIGHT AS 10 DISPOSITION OF TAXES Court proceedings recently instituted by the M. J. O‘Bien, Limited, in regard to the disposition of mining taxes by the municipality of the township of Coleman will be watched with a great deal of interest. It has always been recognized in the North that mining companies have certain privileges or rights in regard to the matter of the disposition of the mining taxes or bounties paid into the municipal treaâ€" suries, but generally the mining comâ€" panies have been so agreeable about the matter that the general public have not usually had its attention directed to the rights given the mining comâ€" panies under the law. The mining companies as a usual thing, it may be said, have been specially interested in the municipality in which they are situated and So have been ready to help to make matters as easy and convenâ€" ient as possible for the municipalitics. Generally speaking, what has suited the municipality has been acceptable to the mining concerns, and on the othor hand the municipalities have always tried to be fair to the mining comâ€" panies, recognizing the importance of the mining industry to this country. M. J. O‘Brien, Limited, Secure Injuncâ€" tion as to Township of Coleman Tax Rate and Disposition of Mining Tax Profits from O‘Brien Mine. In the Cobalt mining camp this year, however, effort is being made to make clear the rights and privileges of the mining concerns in the matter of the apportionment of the mining tax and the powers of the municipality in reâ€" gard to the same. The following reâ€" view of the matter is given by Frank Lendrum, of Cobalt, representative for the Canadian Press, Nor th Bay Nugget and other papers:â€" ‘"‘The contention of M. J. O‘Bien, Ltd., that the township of Coleman‘s share of the revenue accruing to the province of Ontario through the Minâ€" ing Tax Act on the 1929 profits of the O‘Brien mine here should be disposed of according to the instructions of the owners and not paid directly into the general funds of the municipality has created a situation without parallel in the history of the camp. "Legal action has been started by the owners to compel the township counâ€" cil to accede to their wishes and, meanâ€" time, an injunction has been granted by Judge Hartman, at Haileybury, under the terms of which the municipality is restrained temporarily from levying or collecting further the taxes for the curâ€" rent year. M. J. O‘Brien also has isâ€" sued a writ seeking an order from the Supreme Court to compel and direct the township to apportion the funds in question in the proportion of 95 per cent. to the separate school and five per cent. to the public school and for an additional order requiring the counâ€" cil to strike a new tax rate for 1930, in accordance with the claims of the plaintiffs. Drumhelelr, Alberta, Mail:â€"A holiâ€" day partâ€"the kind of party which in more rtrosperous days made use of a donkeyâ€"cart, but which now travelsâ€" in a Ford carâ€"reached the place at which they intended to picnic, and sent one of their number to the nearest village for provisions. A little later he returnâ€" ed with a bottle of whisky, halfâ€"aâ€" dozen bottles of beer, a corkscrew and loaf of bread. He was greeted with a roar of laughter. "Good Lor‘," said one of the party "‘*e‘s even remembered the sparrows." "The township will resist the action. The hearing on the injunction was to have taken place in Toronto on Friday of last week, but a postponement has been ordered until some time this week, probably Thursday, when it will come before a judge in chambers at Osgoode hall: â€" At present, W. M. Shepherd, clerk of the municipality, is refusing to accept any money tendered in payâ€" ment of taxes, although these are due and he said last week that all rateâ€" payers who approached him with the intention of meeting their obligation in this respect would be relieved of the penalty of five per cent. levied on overdue rates and which went into efâ€" fect on Wednesday of this week. "Last year, the assessed profits on the O‘Brien‘s operations here were $243,852, according to the returns made to the Ontario government by the provincial assessor. Of the three per cent. levied by the province, the township received oneâ€"half, $4,877.04, and the plaintiffs argue that all of this money should be paid over to the schools in the proporâ€" tion of nineteenâ€"twentieths to the seâ€" parate school and the balance to the public school. The township would get nothing for the general funds, but the municipal council decided the money would be paid into those funds and struck a tax rate of 42 mills for separâ€" ate school supporters on that basis, aad after some delay had taken place beâ€" cause of the dispute with the mine owners. "Plaintiffs, through J. A. Legris, Haiâ€" leybury solicitor, then sought an inâ€" junction to require the municipality to accede to their wishes in this respect, and also issued a writ in the Supreme Court. They base their action on secâ€" tions from the Separate School Act, the Mining Tax Act and the Assessâ€" ment Act, and have not yet paid over the money due in the profits of 1929. A. H. Moss, described as an assistant secretary of the plaintiffs, in an affidaâ€" vit, states that a notice setting forth the O‘Brien contention was sent to the township last February and duly acâ€" knowledged, but that nothing further was done until it was learned "in a casual manner‘" that the tax rate had been struck in July. The legal action followed and an interesting situation has developed." V, inner of House Given by Legion Says Thanks The following letter was received this woeek from Peter Chapman who was the fortunate winner of the handsome prize â€"a@ house and lot,â€"given last week by the Canadian Legion:â€" To the Editor of The Porcupine Advance. Dear Sir:â€"I wish to thank the branch of the Timmins Canadian Leâ€" gion through your valuable paper for the generous prize of a house valued at $1,000.00 which I won by holding the lucky number 4699.
