* sc yvoung men was also a trying one. But in general it will be admitted that Timmins was as good a place as any in which to Hive in this time of depression throughout the world. It â€"#s equally true that conditions in Timmins would have been pructically as good as normal time had it not been for the mmuumber of men drifting in from distant places. There was During the past winter the town of Ti ‘than might be expected from the pré This was due to the efforts made by the : the governments to provide employment «lhmt the efforts might well have gone* f; it was the situation was well handled ar a% mminimum.

If "Ea again, there is still hope for t If there is anything that people appear to pride themâ€" selves upon these days it is on being modern. If anything is new, it is practically sure to be popular. The trouble is ‘that most new things are old after all. Many o fthe things \that folks toâ€"day believe to be the very essence of modernâ€" ty and upâ€"toâ€"date civilization were actually discarded by the Chinese some thousands of years ago because they were ecaonsidered no more than vanity and vexation of spirit. Ah, that new frock! Yes, the Queen of Sheba had one just about the same, only perhaps a little longer at the back! Am«il that ultra modern dance! The Hottentots did that centuries ago, only they had the floor spread with live coals to assure the right degree of liveliness of action. And the radic! The natives of Africa had at least some glimmerâ€" ing of that science before the great grandfather of the latest crooner was born or the monkey began to evolute into a broadcaster. All of this is simply an introduction to the modern advertising of a modern talkie to appear at Kirkâ€" Lake this week. "A drama of the tears and thrills that test a woman‘s soul" is the way the advertisement for the talkie reads. And this thrilling, tearing drama turns out to How are the mighty fallen} New Liskeard, once upon a "Hime famous for its hockey team and challenging the world at that brave winter sport, is now actually considering chalâ€" Wnges for the checker championship of the North Country. Is this another evidence of the corroding power of money? If New Liskeard has fallen from hockey to checkers, it would appear that the millions from Noranda and Red Lake and elsewhere were dearly won by Liskeard. Ohn, red tape! what crimes are committed in thy name! m Monday the post office refused to issue a postal money oxder, the excuse being that the banks were closed and so the money for the postal order could not be deposited by thne post office. If the explanation had been that the day was a holiday and so it was not desired by the postmaster, aar the staff, or whoever else is concerned in these matters, that the nuisance of issuing the order or note should be trorne or bothered with, then the explanation would have been intéelligible, even if not exactly reasonable from the rublic standpoint. The Timmins post office, however, seems always to strive for originality, and so the lack of accomâ€" modation was blamed on the bank. It‘ s a funny w orldâ€"â€"tms‘ North Land. | Tor the needs of the North Land. Unfortunately, however,, the vote for the North Land the other day was only for a fifth of the amount mentioned by The Acton Free Press. YThe actual amount voted by the Legislature this year for Northern Development work was five million dollars, just Half the amount voted last year. Even if The Acton Free Press had been right, and the vote was actually for fifty rnillion, the money could be expended to advantage not only for tke North but also for the province as a whole. Every doliar invested in the development of Northern Ontario diirectly or indirectly benefits the province of Ontario to sdouble the amount invested. The new wealth coming out of the North in the last few years has meant that Ontario mas suffered far less depression than would otherwise have been the case. If the newspapers of Southern Ontario were fully alive to their own interests they would support large expenditures for the development of this North, knowing *hat the development of the resources of this country will Xwring business and prosperity and wealth to all the province. "The Ontario Legislature voted $50,000,000 for expenditure in the North the other day almost without debate," says The Acton Free Press last week. Ah! would it were only true. The Advance would not object to considerable debate in the Legislature if a vote of $50,000,000 could be passed to care halfâ€"dozens, like to refer to them grunks become s tion,. it is about | imzht . man who was fined in police court here for being inâ€" toxicated has objected to being mentioned in The Advance as ane of several "common drunks fined the usual ten and exgs."

If he doesn‘t want to be classed as a comâ€" im»n drunk, he should keep sober, or else go on some unâ€" sort of a spree that will lift his inebriation from comâ€" moaness to romance and adventure. For instance, he might insust on paying the Chinese restaurant keeper twice for a meal, instead of trying to evade payving once.
