The latest rumour in regard to the North is the most disquieting of all to.those whose hearts and hopes are in the North. This latest story is to the eflect that it is in- tended to close the extension north of Cochrane from 1"!!!- uerdale to James Bay. and to turn the James Bay Inn‘at Moosonee into a school or hospital for the Indians. To throw away the. investment. made in building the railway to James Bay would be a serious injury to the North and to all Ontario. There were the same calls in the name of economy against each successive extension of the line. There were wiseacres who believed it folly to build to Co- balt. Even after the wisdom of this extension had been shown. there was a similar cry against the extensitmsto Porcupine. to Iroquois Falls. to Cochrane. The T. 85 N. 0;; has justified each extension in turn. The extension Wflé sonee will also be fully justified if given full chance. The tourist traffic to James Bay will eventually prove profitable.- while there will undoubtedly be full warrant for the expen- diture made in building and maintaining the line in the wealth that will yet be developed from the country north of Cochrane. It may be that the rumours about contemplated changes in regard to the '1‘. dz. N. O. and other vital issues in the North are simply “feelers" sent out to test the opinions of the people of the North. I! that la the case then all in the North. irrespective of party or other considerations, should slon? This may bring up another suggestionâ€"that it was the North that was really responsible for the success of the T. N. O. Thefinswer to that is that the T. 8.: N. 0. Commission has been a leading factor in the development and progreas and success of the North. ._._v v--.._ __ v-_ __ of a {ma it might be expected that the new Got’ernment would his inclined to leave the 'r 65 N. 0.: “findisturbed in its service to the North. Rumor, however. persists in threa- tening drastic changes in the T. a: N. O. The present he of the T N. 0. Railway Commission has appointed sin. man by the Drury Government though he had been on the commission previously. The appointment was endorsed by all in the North. irrespective of politics. .The two other them of the present commission were also appointed by the Dairy Government. While the report that the whole commission is to be dispensed with has been denied as pre- mature, the feeling persists that there is some grounds for the rumour. The argument that the management rather than the'icommission is msponsible for the success of the railroa.d_ simply begs the double questionzâ€"Was not the commission responsible for the management? And why was the railway not a success under the previous commis- Péthaps the chief anxiety in the North centresqgugw Government attitude towards the Temiskaminggagnd Nor-u. them Ontario Railway. This railway was designed'by' a former Liberal Government as a colonization agency. That part of ',its work has been well done. In addition the ma. N. O. hallway has held the distinction of beingf'thegonly. railway On the continent that has not been a sadly losing venture during the past few years. As well as making money, instead of losing money on operations asmostrail- ways have been doing. the T. as N. O. has given a service to the people 'that unprejudiced travellers assert is much superior to the service on most lines of railroad. A family who travelled very extensively in Canada and the United States earlier this year volunteered the information to The Advance-Me weeks ago that on no line had they received as figgi'ficc and attention as on the T. .N- O. In view The dismissal of the District Medical Health 0g10erizfor the‘Nofth is one matter that gives ground for. fear‘that the interests of the North are again to be negleqted because of lack of knowledge of conditions. The discontintianoei" of roadwork-throuhhout the North is another diagrammam though it is argued that roadwork is tb‘be'resur’nedida' month. that suggestiOn seems to be no more than prodg that conditions in the North are not urxierbbtbd.

It was under a Liberal Govern« ment that the North was first opened. The T. as N. 0. Railway was started by a Liberal administration with the 'mee of opening and colonizing the~ North. The men of CH» Ross Government had faith and belief in the North and though it proved that the riches of the North in reality far exceeded :the dreams of the men who first staked their- pplitical lives on the opening of this country. the fact re- mains that to a Liberal Government this North owes its first interest and attention. It is difficult to believe that an- other administration should seek to make valueless the thought and expenditure of years and set back the whole country to the conditions of twenty years ago.

ONTARIO M” A ug. 9t h. .1934 The opening of the beverage rooms in Timmins has been followed by more drunkeness than has been seen previously in town. The drunks seem to come from two or three of the beverage rooms. and these are places that caused general surprise when it was known that licenses had been granted them Some of the beverage rooms are clean, sanitary and orderly and unusually well conducted, and would make the new beer and wine law popular. The other kind. however. are bringing disrepute upon the new legislation. and will undoubtedly revive prohibition sentiment unless there is a “fitness change. For a few days there was general tendency to overlook a little extra enthusiasm in the drinking of wine and beer, but the time limit of public patience is passing. One of the difficulties seems to be that the local police are not sure of their standing in regard to the enforcement of the new! legislation. The Advance understands that the Government has made no move td establish co- Operation on the part of municipal authorities in regard to enforcement of the new law. This was done in reference to the Liquor Control Act and unless some further restrictions are enforc- ed in regard to the sale of beer and wine the whole new §ystern will meet with general popular disfavour. Unemployment insurance! Hon. Mr. Hepburn seems to have inaugurated this for all employees of the former Gov- ernment. What the Ontario civil servants would like to see is some form of employment insurance for those who do their work faithfully and well. llln view of all this it seems specially important that the EMernment of’Ontario should have a very intimate and Ijper$0n13tl knowledge of the North of to- day with its possiâ€" “blinks and its needs. Such a ‘knowledge will mean the Mdmion inmgamd to «the: Government attitude towa1ds roads, the settlers: the T. N. 0. Railway the general de- velopment of the North and many other questions.

Mr. Roebuck will pay the expenses of any Con- servatives who wish to take a trip to Toronto to attend a convention of the Cnservative party should such an event be annoimced. Of course. it is only a rumour. No doubt the rumour started because the Premier and the Attorney- General contributed to the eXpenses of the foreign political party staging the recent convention in Toronto. W6’5’4 GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACE W“. 3 An‘ invitation is hereby extended to Premier Hepburn's cement to visit the North. Some of them have never been in this country. and some have made such fleeting visits here that they can scarcely be said to know the country. Onc 01' two of them have known the North in years gone- -by but ldo not knbw the North of to- day with its needs and pos- sibilities. The new cabinet has been after economy. To see the needs and possibilities of the North willessure a mea- sure of true economy not possible otherwise. As will be noted in an article elsewhere in this issue Hon. W. A. Gordon, Minister of Mines for the Dominion. points out that the gold mining industry has done more than any other single factor in helping Canada to recovery. In view (If this undoubted fact, it is not too much to say that the North Land is to-day a very important part of the pro- vince and that anything that will help the North will help all Ontario and that anything that will injure this section will‘have an evil effect on the rest ofl the province.

The truth is. and even a certain or uncertain newspaper must know it. that there are no men in prison in Canada to-day for any political opinions they may hold. There were some men imprisoned for advocating violence and preachl’ng bloody revolution. inciting others to disorder and rebellion. Simi- iarly. Section 98 of the criminal cede does not interfere in any way with the liberty of speech or the freedom of ass-sun- bly of any but traitors and thugs. Section 98 has been pub- liShed in full on several occasions in these columns. All thr section. forbids is open incitement to revolution through vio- lence. 'and the threat of violence.

ONTARIO accout his age Timmir terrible without entitled t-h th Oh Not only in Timmins but throughout the whole North there has been aston- ishment and concern over the preposal of the town council that Fire Chief Borland. of Timmins. should tender his resignation. ELsewhere in this is- sue The Advance has noted references to the matter from outside papers. Here is what The Northern News. of Kirkland Lake, had to say in the mat- ter last week:â€" Firemen's Association to Write Letter “Alex Borland. fire chief of Timmins. was fired by the city council at their session last week. No reason was giv- en for the action and though the mayor and one or two councillors asked the members who sponsored the motion to withdraw it or reconsider, no action was taken. and Chief Borland is out of a job. after having served them for eighteen years. He was for six years chief of the department at Cobalt and it was from the best old town that he went to Timmins to take over the job of directing their first fire fighting actions. During his time at‘Cobalt he became a prominent member of the I‘emiskaming Firemen’s Association ade the cou r ter. the town council at Timmins. Of course we have no power in the mat- ter. Timmins is not even a part of our association but Alex Borland has only two more years to serve when he would be in line for retiring on pension. It seems a shame that after the years of faithful service he has given the towns he has been in that he should be let out without that chance." Jack Matheson. local fire chief. who is a hoot actions. During his time at‘Cobalt he became a prominent member of the I‘emiskaming Firemen’s Association and this week when that body of fire- men learned of his dismissal. they were astounded. “We don't know what to make of it at all." said Fred Thomp- son who has been secretary of the asso- ciation for eighteen years. “We can‘t figure it out at all but we. do feel that the council might very well reconsider their action.
