The North recognizes this debt to Old Ontario, just as it artoreciates what it owes to Nova Seotia. Quebec and other provinces, and to the good pe ple who have come here from the old lands overseas and irom the land that lies to the south. Cheers for Glengarry would be followed by cheers and a tiger for Renfrew, Eganville, Mount St. Patrick, Toronto, Hull, Maniwaki, Calabogie, Ottawa, Montreal, Halifax, St. John, Queen‘s County, Nova Scotia, and a host of other centres that have contributed the men and the women who have mads the development of the North an actuality. There would be rousing cheers for Cornwall, for Scotland and Aberdeen, for Ireland, Lanâ€" cashire, Wales and other lands across the sea. The people of the North respect many peoples and many localities beâ€" cause they have living reason for doing so. But when "A Glengarry Lady" proceeds to suggest that the ptunceers of Old Ontario never complained about conâ€" agitions it scunds tco much like Hon. Wm. Finlayson to be But when "A CH the prtuneers of Olc gitions, it scunds tC particularly populatr ds on o i0 uEn ts "I think." says the writer of the letter, "Old Ontario had as much of hardship to contend with as any New Ontario." No doubt, but littie more! And the times were different. Compared to general conditions in the world fifty or A hundred years ago the picneers of those days had no more to face than the vioensers of toâ€"day, exccp‘f, perhaps, in the line of hostile natives. "Did they complain cof the roads when they had to take. their wheat to be ground into flour? No, indsed! They had backbone!" So the letter says. â€" Hon. Mr. Finlayson said something similar on a visit to the North some years ago. A gentleman from Hamilton, who visited Timmins some yvears ago and spoke at banquet here, expressed along the same lines. "Did they complain?" The old pioneers certainly did! They made the welkin ring with their complaints,. Read history, prruse old newspapers of the pioneer days, and see if the pionsers rode over rough trails in patience and in silence. They did not! They cursed the trails, the horse., the Government, the lack of roads, themselves and their families! And could they curse? And. how!. Just read the record! They fought for roads, for schools, for all the advantages they could get! They demanded improvements and opportunities in the land they piongered. And then they eursed because taxes were high! All in all they acted much the same as the ploneers of toâ€"day»>â€" The record shows they picneered with great courage, large determination, much pirtience and broad ‘cheerfulness! Soâ€"dao the pioneers of the North toâ€"day. They endure loneliness, privation, danger and poverty wilh a bravery to match the old folks f pionser days in Old Ontario. Of course, the pioneers of Old Ontario had "backbone!" Ontario would never have reached its high place in the sun if they had not had a rare firmness of soul and will. . They had backbone enough to <}-enmn§1 roads and schools and keep on demanding until they got them. The pioneers of New Ontarlo are not lacking in backbone either. . They could not well be other than as they are, coming from the stock they do. The pioneers of New Ontario may not follow the lengths of the pioneers of the older sections of the proâ€" vince and seek their rights at the point of armed rebellion as occurred in Old Ontario in 1837, but at least they will keep on "complaining," if there be no better word, until the pressing need for roads, for schools, and for the other comforts and conveniences of life are supplied. Ee eE c 2200000 Cc It is regrettable to see newspaDer of some influence like The Ottawa Journal going out of its way to assist the gisloyal schemes of a group of alien agitators who have evil designs upon the prace and welfare of this Dominion. By its editcrial articles belittling and besmirching the authoriâ€" ties at Ottawa for preventing serious trouble in connection with the recent soâ€"called "hyunger march‘"‘ at the capital The Ottawa Journal is actually contributing to the support All horour to the pioneers of Old Ontario with their neverâ€" ceasing compfaint and earnest desire for better things! All honour, too, to the pioneers of the new North, and may they never cease to complain, to work, to fight, to struggle, until this country is developed and built up and the North is truly a land where every loyal man may live in comfort and security and with fair chance for the betâ€" ter things of life! otl?t : LOTâ€" â€" LC NV Oe .

In Timmins, for instance, these agitators by their boasted policy of "bering from .within" destroyed every union and association ever formed here for the protection or bettenn'ent of the working men. In Toronto these alien agitators first fostered thoughts of a strike by the members of the Garment Workers‘ Union and then when their agitaâ€" tion finally secured the desired trouble, they went back themselves to work in the places of the men on strike. In Timmins these fellows have money for illegal parades, for banners, for propaganda, for everything but a meal or a help to their fellow countrymen. In Timmins the men uphoilding the alien agitation are not unemployed, not working men in the ordinary meaning of the word, but the owners of businesses, landlords, usurers and so on. The men they use as representatlive of the unemployed have reâ€" peatedly refused work here on one excuse or another.. In other words, the movement appears to be confined to. thase who do not want work. Any representatives in that "hunâ€" ger march" certainly did not represent the workers or the unemployed of Timmins. There is no reason to believe they represented anything or anybody but the alien agitaâ€" tors. To refer to them as a labour delegation or a comâ€" mittee of the unemployed is to knock down all the pins of gnize Lne In the fit reset Thursday, March 17th, 1932 lt e lt stP eP P PPA PP DP AIDING ALIEN AGITATORS A4 it 1© mpioy ployed, the wWwOrKeTS s hatched and foste have ncither regard . for instance, these United Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year y serious troud) hunger. march‘ illy contributin r is destructive is destructive ar awa Journal and ixeâ€"grinding polit when they had injJurioll LW mdisphyinga!orcethumlddmmthemofthe most prominent weapon of these alien agitatorsâ€"the use of force. ‘The experience here has been that these disloyal and lawâ€"breaking fellows observe the law if they see triat to break it means trouble for them. On the other hand trouble may always be expected if the authorities are not prepared. The authorities at Ottawa knew they were called upon to deal with a group of aliens who were at Ottawa for a special purpose of their own. The authorities knew these people were no; represontatives of labour or of the unemployed and still less representative of any gSroup oi loyal Canadians. The authoritiee knew that these aliens did not even represent any material body of their â€"own fellowâ€"countrymen. The authorities knew that the actual Canadian or other British prople in the delegation were simply engaged, usually at a regular wage, to appgéar as actors in the scene. The authorities knew of other ideas behind the paradeâ€"ideas that threatened the peace of the community. If The Ottawa Journal was not clever enough to learn these things for itself, it should be humble enonugh to give the authorities credit for protecting the city from disorder. It should also be remembered that the "hunger march" had little to do with either a march or with hunger. ‘The men attending the parade at Ottawa reached the city by truck and train. They have not known the touch of hunger, â€"not since they left their homes in the foreign lands across the staÂ¥. There seems to be some confusion in the minds of some about freedom of speech. There is no restriction toâ€"day nor has there been in recent times in regard to freedom of speech. Indeed, at the present moment there is a vicious license in spsech. Those who read a certain weekly publicaâ€" tion in Toronto with its continual outpouring of abuse and ridicuile on people in all walks of life must surely admit that no one‘s style is cramped these days in expression of opinâ€" ions. There has to be some limit, however, to license in speech. Open sedition can not be preached, surely? Yet this is what the alien agitators really demand. They deâ€" mand the right to cpenly advocate force and violence for the everthrow of government and religion. If The Otvawa Journal believes that this privilege should be granted to alien agitators, then it should have the courage to say so, instead of protesting its loyalty and devotion to decent peo;;.‘.el while at the same time working to take away from the | people in general the few safeguards they now have againstl the evil work of the foreign agitator. .A newspaper is not supposed to write about anything that it knows nothing about. In this a newspaper differs from other writers occagionally. It is true that sometimes A newsparier doses break the rule, like The Ottawa Journal editorials on the communists.. That, as Thubway Tham would say, ‘"ith the bunk!" | For a change this week The Advance desires to say a word sbout BUNK. and so it is necessary to find out what this BUNK may be. The dictionary‘s one defination for BUNK is to the effect that it is a place to lie in. Of course, this is not the sort of BUNK The Advance wishes in this case, editorials on free speech and communism being barred. Recourse was taken to asking the first six people for a definition of "BUNK." The first one given was "aw, appleâ€" sauce!"‘ "Tripe," said the second, and where was he born? "Bolongy‘ said the third, and he did not come from overâ€" seas. "Piffle" was ancther definition, while "Static‘ was the uyâ€"toâ€"date equivalent. Jt was the last of six, however, who struck the nail on the head, or hit the BUNK. He said, "Why, BUNK is the most amusing station that ever broardâ€" casted in this part of Canada." That lad goes to the head of the BUNK. } The people of this district were surprised, amused, pleasâ€" ed and delishted some Sundays ago to hear a new station on the air. "This is Station BUNK broadcasting on a freâ€" quency of 850 bicycles by the authority of no one in parâ€" ticular‘" said the announcement. The fact that it was a myâ€" stery station and no one knew just where it was added to the interest. Radio fans in the district enjoyed BUNK. It was a lot better BUNK than received from the other stations.

In days to come "Lindbergh‘s Baby" will be recalled when it is remembered that Alcock and Brown were the first to fly across the Atlantic. But life is hard! BUNK disappeared from the air almost as suddenly and as mysteriously as it appeared. That was bad enough, but there was worse to come. . More bunk! someone apparently reported BUNK as a broadcasting station without a license. Anything without a license these days aptoears to be unlawful. The Ottawa Journal even wants a license for free speech: It is the bunk! But there is still more bunk, according to the reports. An inspector came up to Timmins looking for bunk. He could have gotten lots of bunk in Ottawa, or Toronto, or North Bay or wherever his usual bunk may be. He got no bunk here! He went away again. The Government is preaching economy! What everybody seems to need is a course in humour! Good old BUNK. 13 in alon Last week The Ottawa Journal had a large display adverâ€" tisement reading in part:â€""Listen to the Campbell Soup orchestra Mondays and Thursdays, CKGW,7.15 to 7.30 p.m." The soup orchestra can be heard in Ottawa any day during the session from 12 to 1 or from 6 to 7 at any restaurant. The help of the gangsters has been solicited in the United States to secure the recovery of a kidnapped child. It would be better for the United States if the authoritiee would conscript the aid of the gangsters for the general enforceâ€" ment of law in the said United States.

In The Porcuâ€" ! pine Advance I read the principal \ items of evidence as reported in a case ! arising from an unlawful parade being attempted through the streets of Timâ€" mins, and as result some of the wouldâ€"be paraders were arrested ant placed on trial. I very much regret that one of the paraders, who is reported in The Adâ€" vance as being sald to be a naturalized British subject, refused to take the usual Canadian oath on the Bible. That is, he would not make a declaraâ€" tion in the name of God before his evidence, because, he said, he did not believe in the Bible.

Just why the Timmins ‘boys should nsed any nickâ€" name may puzzle any but a certain type of Toronto sport or the tired genius that tagged the name on the team from the Porcupine. The Timmins lads did credit to this town, to this camp, to the industry that supports this area. They might well have been known as the Timmins team, the Porâ€" cupine team, the Gold Miners, the Goldâ€"Diggers, the Golden Group Camps: They showed themselves to be thoroughâ€" breds. The man who first called them Huskies should be banished to Algoma. I would also like to learn what will become of such a man if his Canad‘an citizenship papers are entitled to be cancelled.

Legion Holding Big Novelty Dance Toâ€"Night For the past four years it has been the policy of the Timmins branch of the Canadian Legion to hold a fancy dress St. Patrick‘s Day dance, these events proving popular and successful. This year, however, the Legion is changing the rule and holding a Big Novelty dance, in the McIntyre Reâ€" creation hall, Schumacher, tonight (Thursday, March 17). There will be novelties for allâ€"streamers and noiseâ€" makers (these include whistles, rattles, and bells, etc.). Those who attended the New Year‘s Eve dance will rememâ€" ber the surprise some of the novelties caused. The Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the Canadian Legion will serve their usual line of refreshments. ~A firstâ€"class orâ€" chestra will give the best of music. In all it looks like one of the big events of the year.

The longer the road between Porcupine and Sudbury camps is left uncompleted, the longer the Northern Deâ€" velorment Department retards the development of the North Land as a whole. The proposed road would bind together by., highway all the communities of the North. It would increase many fold the tourist traffic to the North. It would afford transportation facilities for new mining camps like Shiningtree, Matachewan, McArthur and others. There are no valid arguments against the building of this road at present, when its construction would have the added adâ€" vantage of assisting the unemployed.
