It is very good of the Legion to be feeding and housing exâ€"service men. But real exâ€"service men don‘t want charity; they only want honest work. The secretary of the Legion goes on to say that there are a lot wearing the badge of the Legion that are not enâ€" titled to wear it.. Well, all I can say is that if a man will stoop to a thing like that he is not much good. I, myself, am not a member of the Legion. The secretary of the legion says:â€" "Forget that you were soldiers!" Why should we forget? Men that went through the early stages of the war, and fought in the second (battle of Â¥pres, can they ever forget? I for one will never forget that I was a soldier. I am rtroud to think that I did my litâ€" tle bit to hold the old Empire together. I notice in this week‘s Advance (July 16th) that the secretary of the Legion has taken the matter up. He talks about foreigners being loyal to their adopted country. Yes, the Germans and Austrians were supposed to be loyal who were living in the different parts of the British Empire until the fourth of August, 1914." Then they suddenly became more loyal still (to the Fatherâ€" land). This "Red" stuff is smudging inside a lot of these soâ€"called loyal foreigners, and some day we will see it burst into flames. Dear Sir:â€"I thank you for publishing my letter in The Advance dated July 9th. The letter read a little different to what I intended it to do. In the first place I did no mean all foreigners. For instance, we have the Scandinaâ€" vians with us, and I myself, put them on the same level as British subjects. I thank you for the way you replied to that letter. To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins The Advance apologizes for so lengthy an introduction, but there was not time to make it shorter. Here is the leitter referred to:â€" piication it Nnoids to what he originally advocatedâ€"that the exâ€"service man should not be discriminated against for the benefit of those whose loyalty is in question. The Advance has been reâ€" peatedly assured that the exâ€"soldier is given the preference in the matter of employment at the mines and elsewhere in this camp. If this preference is givâ€" ,en, no harm will be done by the letter. If the preference is missed sometimes a little publicity may prevent undue | preference to aliens and especially to those who are not loyal to Canada and Britain. The first consideration should surely be given to loyal men, and the exâ€"service men have proven their loyalty as no one else could do. "Only an Exâ€" Soldier" need not particularly worry because his letter in cold print seemed a little different to what he intended. That is a very common occurrence. "Only an Exâ€"Soldier‘ was good sport‘ enough that he did not try, as so many do, to "blame it on the newsplaper." As for his closing sentence in this second letter, it hits the nail on the head. Good fellows do not want charity; they want honest work. This is the problem that the governments must face: thel problem of providing work for all loyal men. In the meantime, nmowever, the Legion is doing a notable service in helping the ex~â€"soldier, and it should not be forgotten that one of the best serâ€" vices given by the Legion is in helping men to help themselves by placing them in touch with work that may be availâ€" able. Exâ€"Service Men Ask Work Not Charity Another Letter from "Only an Exâ€" Soldier." Recalls the Attitude of the Aliens Here During the Timmins, July 15th, 1931 THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO "Whist mon, no. It smells gude as all that." "Then why the clothes pin?" "Mon, if I should smell it whilst drinkin‘ it, ‘twould make my mouth water, an‘ I dinna want to dilute my drinks wi‘ onythin‘." "Look here, Sandy," objected the foreman, "my whiskey doesn‘t smell so bad as that." The chief engineer was an old seaâ€" faring Scot. He accepted a drink of Spey Royal from his foreman, but clipped a clothes pin on his nose while drinking it.

Ross, holder of the world‘s professional record for short distances. It is claimâ€" ed the latter will try to beat his record for the century splash while sojcurning in the North. ‘ "It is réported that the party to visit these parts will include: Marvin Nelâ€" son, winner of the C.N.E. marathon last year; Isador Spondor, runnerâ€"up in that event; Marguerite Ravoir, first prize taker in last year‘s splash for the fair sex; Ernst Vierkotter, the famous German swimmer; A. Keating, another front rank professional, and Clarance ' "Recent announcements from Engleâ€" hart and Timmins indicates that the North Country will be overâ€"run by reâ€" nowned professional swimmers in the near future. Both centres have been promised a display by a coterie of famed natorial artists, all of whom have showed their wares as prize winâ€" ners in the Wrigley and Canadian Naâ€" tional Exhibition marathons. Moreâ€" over, they are in training for this year‘s splashes, and their visits to the Northern centres are part of the preâ€" scribed course of training. Their backâ€" ers appear to think that it would be preferable to have them dip in a variety of waters rather than feed on the Lake Ontario variety solely. | "Observer" writing in the "Sportoâ€" logy" column of The North Bay Nugâ€" get last week says:â€" RENOWNED SWIMMERS TO BE IN NORTH IN NEAR FUTURE "In the literature sent out it is stated that ‘"The three largest cities in the North have undertaken the project." That‘s just the point. When the three largest cities in the North come to a convention whichkh was to consist of three representatives from each muniâ€" cipality, one of them with 23 delegates, what can the more sparsely settled disâ€" tricts hope to gain? Does it not look more like something originated chiefly for the benefit of the "Three largest cities in the North?" We may be too critical, too suspicious, but they did not do much last week at North Bay to inspire confidence in their altruistic motives in regard to the general welâ€" fare of New Ontario." __"We have carefully read all the availâ€" able information so far, have had a short talk with one of the sponsors of the movement, Mr. J. A. McPhail, also of Sault Ste. MaMrie, and have watchâ€" ed the progress of a convention of northern municipalities last week, and we have rather grave doubts of the benefits to be derived from such an orâ€" ganization. It was made plain at the highway convention in North Bay on July 8th just how much chance this section of the North has in any arguâ€" ment with the people from the Soo, when the question goes to a vote.. Sheer weight of numbers would eliminâ€" ate the Temiskaming and Cochrane districts from any hope of carrying any controversial point in a general council such as is proposed "The proposal emanating a few weeks ago from Sault Ste. Marie, and endorsed by the cities of Port Arthur and Fort William, that a "General Council of New Ontario‘" be formed in order to coâ€"operat with all sections of the country north of the Frenchâ€"River in an attempt to solve their several proâ€" blems, looks alright on paper. As it is cutlined in letters from J. W. Curran who was appointed to send out inviâ€" tations and arrange for a general meeting in August, the proposal reads well, but whether it is practical or not remains to be seen. show that The Haileyburian has learned by experience that it does not pay to assist the propaganda artists of Sault Ste. Marie to put over their schemes for the sole benefit of the Sault. The Haileyburian in an editorâ€" ial article on the proposed "council for New Ontario‘" has the following to say last week:â€" One of the newspapers in this part of the North that toyved the idea of "compromise" in regard to the choice of the route of the Transâ€"Canâ€" ada highway was The Haileyburian. This is not said now with any idea of censure upon the Haileybury paper. That paper has a full right to any opinions it may hold or fail to hold. The matter is mentioned now to show that The Haileyburian can not be acâ€" cused of prejudice against other parts of the North. In the opinion of The Advance The Haileyburian has been included to pry too much attention to the plausible pronsuncements of inâ€" terested parties in other parts of the North to the detriment of this partiâ€" cular section. This, of course, is only the opinion of The Advance, but everyâ€" one but The Cochrane Northland Post and Mr. Wood of Iroquois Falls will agree that The Advance has won the right also to hold an opinion. The question is simply resurrected now to Proposed New Ontario Council Not Desired NOT A DRAP WASTED ANFL _ the famous ting, another nd Clarance professional It is claimâ€" at his record e sojcurning »pointed for iurt, but arâ€" ade for thg | ie ‘"Week of e Canadian ugust 3." ‘TED an old seaâ€" a drink of reman, but s nose while »jected the n‘t smell so ‘lls gudé as n>" x 1 it whilst my mouth > dilute my â€"Exchange aNort.hem part of the province when it "Press despatches this week carry to a more or less interested world the news that an organization consisting of Port Arthur, Fort William and Sault Ste. Marie has been started, to be the "voice of the North." It is supposed to reâ€" present Northern Ontario apparently, and a further conference is to be held to complete the organization. Its mainspring seems to be a strong dislike of this prrt of Northern Ontario and the Temisk#ming and Northern Onâ€" tario Railroad in particular, Its aim, by the same token, appears to be to get some of the money now being spent by the government in this part of the country. Having its inception in the Sault, and with that city leading it, the new organizatior, is not likely to repreâ€" sent anybody much, but the three cities concerned in the start of the associaâ€" tion. Certainly if it can do anything to help the peopiie in that area, it would be a good thing, but if it proposes to do it at the expense of other parts of the province, which seems to be the general idea, then it is far from good. The unfortunate part of it is that in Old Ontario a good many peoplie will accept it at its press agents‘ value, and really believe that it represents the is actually nothing of the kind." ; In an editorial article on the proposal fostered@ at Sault Ste. Marie that an "unofficial legislature," or "Northern Council" be organized for "the whole of the North," as the Sault propaganda phrases it, but really for"the Sault itself as the scheme is designed, The North Bay Nugget last week says:â€" NORTH BAY OPINION ON THE PROPOSED NORTH COUNCIL Drownings in 1930 numbered 1,057 or 17 per cent. of the total of fatal accidents. Deaths from traffic acciâ€" dents were 2.077 or 33 per cent of the total. Automobile fatalities, numberâ€" ing 1,289, amounted to 21 per cent. of all accidental deaths. Excluding those cases where an automobile was involvâ€" ed, there were 371 deaths from railroad accidents and 41 from streetâ€"car acciâ€" dents. Thirtyâ€"three persons were killâ€" ed during the year in aeroplane and balloon accidents. Homicides numbered 212 in 1930 givâ€" ing a rate of 2.1 per 100,000. In 1929 the number of homicides was 182 and the rate 1.9. In 1926 the correspondâ€" ing figures were 126 and 1.3 There were 6,249 accidental deaths in 1930, 6,134 in 1929, 6,024 in 1928, 5,385 in 1927 and 5,063 in 1926. The rate from this cause was 63 per 100,000 in 1929 and 1930, as compared with 62.5 in 1928, 57 n 1927 and 54 in 1926. Suicides in 1930 showed a marked increase over the preceding year, the number being 1,007 against 835 and the rate 10.1 against 8.5. In 1926 the number of suicides was 680 and the rate 7.3. According to a report issued toâ€"day by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, the number deaths in Canada from exâ€" ternal violence during the year 1930 (preliminary figures) was 7,468 as comâ€" pared with 7,151 in 1929, 6,925 in 1928, 6,288 in 1927 and 5,869 in 1926. The rate per 100,000 population was 75 in 1930 as against 73 in 1929, 72, in 1928, 66 in 1927 and 63 in 1926. "There now enters on the scene, one, Charlie Ross, a wellâ€"known piroaspector, who was the best man available for the job and, in fact, the only one famiâ€" liar with that country. To quote Charlie‘s cwn words, "Son, I had a hell of a trip. I had one tcbhoggan with eight dogs to carry the whiskey and one tobozggan with four dogs to carry the camp outfit and the food. You might imagine that we cut the food supply to the very minimum, and one of the rules was that the wet goods had to be deâ€" livered absolutely intact not later than December 23rd at the engineers‘ camp. We had practically completed the trip when I noticed that there was only enough baking powder and flour for one "Probably you have often hear what wonderful fellows these engineers were.

"Bill at first refused, as in all his exâ€" perience he had never heard of frozen fume being used to make bread rise. However, I convinced him that he was about to see something new and he went down and mixed up the fume withn the flour, then I made one of the finest bannocks of the whole trip. It raised four inches in the pan and when Bill saw it kis jaw droppred like a folding bed. His eyes stuck out and he said it was the most marvelous thing he had ever heard of. We delivered the whisâ€" key intact.
