Member of the Timmins, Ont., Thursday, October 16th 1930 pearing . {COlITCIC oukGiyâ€" U EARLMELLEALAO L CCC O P s CA 90‘ O such loose reasoning as appeals to thoughless people and‘l creates wrong standards. To class fraudulent brokers with’! thugs with guns is certainly far from cool reason. It is the | sort of thing that has featured the attitude of certain senâ€" sational newspapres in the United States and it, perhaps, has 3 had more influence than may be suspected by many in creatâ€" i ing the conditions that have cursed administration of the law across the boundary line. Its tendency has been not to assure more severe sentences for those committing frauds" against the public, but to create a maudlin sentimentality‘ for the thug. In the British Isles a very clear distinction; is made between robbery and robbery under arms. There the very fact that a man is carrying a gun or other weapon when bent on any crime assures him a very severe sentence. The inevitable result has been that robbery under arms 1s comparatively rare in the Old Country, while frauds against the public are by no means encouraged. It should be reâ€" membered that the thug with the gun menaces life as well as. property and all should strive to have human life held in more regard than simple money. In addition, it is well to note that the public has far more protection from the fraudâ€" ulent broker than from the highwayman. The latter hunts his victims, while in the case of the frauds against the public, the victim more or less hunts up his despoiler. In other words the victim may avoid the fraud, but there is no way, except by salutary sentences to curb the evil work of the thug with the gun. The Advance has nothing but the most complete condemnation for the man who defrauds the public. Such a man should be punished and punished in way that will deter others from following in his footsteps. But that should not becloud the fact that the thug with the gun is the greater menace to society and to the life as well as the property of the people. | I \ t ty kA AA As ) V i# s tA ve s or the thug.

Discussing unemployment and the present economic condiâ€" tions in the world one friend of The Advance last week said: "The remedy is to get back to the simple life! There must be fewer luxuries, fewer radios, fewer automobiles and fewer fur coats." This is an idea that is perhaps too commonly held. The effect of such a policy, however, would be to increase the present difficulties a hundredâ€"fold. _ Fewer radios, fewer automobiles and fewer fur coats would mean no more than the throwing out of employment of hundreds of thousands more men and women. Instead of helping the present situation such an attitude towards life and its luxuâ€" ries would increase the evil of unemployment to the breakâ€" ing point. The remedy seems to lie rather in the other extreme. The salvation of the state rests with more rather than less consumption. In these difficult times there should be the most persistent and patient effort to maintain the highest possible standards of living. No man will starve to death because another man has a radio or a silk shirt. The man who buys an automobile or a fur coat assures employâ€" ment to others. The individual should look to it that he does not bring himself to want by improvidence or extravaâ€" gance, brt apart from this factor, it may be said that the more people buy to supply their needs the sooner the counâ€" try will return to prosperity, maintaining high standards of living in the meantime. Thurs., October 23rd, 1930 Eisewhere in this issue reference is made to the gloomy report made by a committee to the League of Nations in regard to the future supply of gold for the world. To the se‘:m‘::in of the eccmmittee on the world‘s supply of gold Che Yorrumpine Advatcr OFFICE â€" 26â€"â€"â€"â€" Published Every Thursday by: GEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: $2.00 per year United States.. $3.00 per year AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association TIMMIN®, ONTARIO PHONESâ€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 the North Land gave coincident reply by announcing a proâ€" bable new gold field. Oldâ€"time prospectors in this district who have been through the Matachewan country tell The Advance that the formation is very favourable and they are inclined to believe that the recent find may be very important. In addition it should be noted that the known zold areas of the North Land, or what may be termed the established gold camps, have not been developed to anything approaching their extent. There is reason to believe that in Forcupine and Kirkland Lake camps new mines of imâ€" portance will be developed to add to the output of the mines now producing. There is also reason to believe that Red Lake, Lightning River, Boston Creek and other gold areas will be developed. Men who are in position to know are confident that only attention skill and capital are required to secure producing gold mines in McArthur, Shaw and Bartlett townships. There is still faith in Kamikotia. There is no pessimism and no need for pessimism in this North Land. Had the belt line of roads been built years ago, as the facts of the case seemed to urge, there would be much easier acâ€" cess to the new gold field in Matachewan. In the matter of unemployment, while the greatest meaâ€" sure of remedy must rest with the municipal, provincial and Mominion authorities, it is well to remember that private (rms and individuals can give very valuable assistance. For example, as The Advance pointed out last week, there are literally scores of men in town at present who would be delighted to be given odd jobs that would provide them with temporary relief, and many householders have such odd jobs that they could give out at the present time. It may be the work of putting up stoves, cleaning the furnace or the cellar, or putting on the storm windows. Any little job that can be given will be greatly appreciated by some man who finds it difficult to get along these days. If any reader of The Advance has any of these odd jobs that he can afford to pay for, let him just call up Mr. H. C. Garner at the Government employment office and state the case and a :uitable man will be sent. This will mean but little to the householder, but it will mean a lot to the man out of work. It will give him a little money and a lot of enccuragement. He will feel that he is getting some thought and considerâ€" etion at this time when he is waiting for work that will give him more permanent help. Some of the unemployed men have wives and familiies dependent on them and in these cases the odd jobs are particularly appreciated. The men who prefer to work rather than beg are the kind that are ready to accept any sort of odd job. If you can spare the «mall amount involved and can think of any work that you need done, just call up Mr. Garner and he will see that some unfortunate man is thus helped and encouraged. Of course if there are bigger jobs to be done or more extended work that can be planned and carried out now, so much the better, but even the smallest of odd jobs will be appreciated by many who are earnestly seeking any sort of profitable work at present in Timmins. Newspapers are funny animals Just a few months ago there were newspapers that contended quite heatedly that there was no special unemployment in Canada or if there was much unemployment it was by no means as bad as it was r‘ctured, and, anyway, it was a universal condition and the Government was not responsible and could do nothing to remedy the situation. Now, these same newspapers see a desperate measure of unemployment; they feel that Canada The ‘secret o7 contentment in the newspaper business:â€" Never to worry over criticism, and always to be pleased when anyone says a good word. is particularly oppressed by conditions; causing so much trouble in a few short months; and they call lustily upon the Governments, provincial and Dominion, to remedy the situâ€" ation before the setting of the next sun or the coming of the Stars.

Marie and Batchewana, and thence northerly and westerly along the shores of Lake Suâ€" perior. This would afford Chapleau access by a connecting read to such point as may appear most appropriate. The highway would continue in the general direction of White River, Schreiber, Nipigon to Port Arthur and Fort William, and thence to the Maniâ€" tcba boundary. This resolution was not approved.

J. G. Elliott, of Belleville, representâ€" ing the Chamber of Commerce of that city, brought in four resolutions, all of which were passed, some with slight alterations. These concerned mainâ€" tenance of highways, utilization of raw materials of the Province, Hydroâ€"Elecâ€" tric rates and service charges, and use of native stone in public buildings. A resolution of the Hawkesbury beard cf Trade regarding a Provincial highâ€" way from Lancaster to Hawkesbury, and involving the site of a new interâ€" provincial bridge between Ontario and Quebec, was referred to the incoming executive.

So every comrade remember, Mcnday, Nov. 10th. We will also have another general meeting on November 24th for the benefit of any other comâ€" rades who have not been able to atâ€" tend. There will be the usual social hour and the ‘"Mayâ€"bee" after the meeting, and we can rely on Comrade Devine to handle the piano for these happy hours We had a visit from Comrade Huntley who gave two numâ€" bers from his new repertoire of songs. Jack Trevellan handed in a British Legion badge. which he had found in Timmins. So, if the owner will call at 165 Spruce, north, he can get the badge. I had Comrade Trollope in the other day and am glad to state that Comrade Trollope is improving greatly and B well on the road to health again. Comâ€" rade Trollope‘s fine voice was greatly appreciated last winter when he was often heard on Legion social nights and we look forward to hearing this comâ€" rade again many times during the comâ€" ing winter.

In spite of their crippled condition they are working, yes, working, as good citizens of this great Dominion, loyal citizens working under the good old Union Jack, the flag of the Empire. The splendid response made by the citizens of the Porcupine in purchasing these wreaths shows appreciation of what the soldiers did for them in the days of war, and shows that they apâ€" preciate the Legion. The boxes for Poppy Day have arâ€" rived, and the purchase of these boxes also helped the Legion. By having boxes of our own we do not have to borrow and these boxes will do for many years. The town council of Timmins and the Tisdale council have granted us leave for a Tag Day on November list for which we are indeed thankful. We are often asking the Timmins Council for favours, which are readily granted, and we certainly appreciate the kindly inâ€" terest the "Town Fathers" take in the work of the Legion.

SEVEN THOUSAND FREE BEDS AT NORTH BAY DURING YEAR During the present year no less than 7.101 men have applied at North Bay jail for a night‘s free lodging. Last year there were only 1,887. In last month there was an average of 15 per night asking for free beds at the North Bay city lockâ€"up. In April of this year there were 157 sleeping at the jail in one night. These figures are given just to show some people that the unemâ€" pjloyment situation is not so much exâ€" aggerated as they would have people believe. The first snow of the season came to the North Land last week, some weeks later than in the West and severâ€" al days later than in the south. Also, the snow fall did not last long here.
