, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members cmun Weekly Newspaper Association:; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group By viftue of the result of the voting on Monday of this week, the town of Timmins would appear to have an exâ€" celléent municipal council for 1935. "You can always depend upon the pecple to use the best of judgment," commented ;?ahblhhu Every Monday and Thursday by: <«GEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: Canadlâ€"-fl 00 Per Year Uniteq Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year a citizen after the returns. were received. "Of course, you. can," responded a friend, "you can always depend upon popular. opinionâ€"alwayâ€"at least, socme times." ' One reason for special pleasure at the personnel of the 1935 ‘council is the fact it is representative. It embraces many classes and many viewpoints, and so is likely to be able and effective. Business, the profess.ons, mining and the workers‘ standpoint will be presented. Ancther reason for gratification is the fact that the new council is wellâ€"balanced. It includes men with previous valuable munic:.pal experience and men who are giving their first service in this capacity but have a background of acâ€" quaintance with business and life. Still another advantage which the 1935 council will possess at the commencement of @its work is the fact that it enjoys general popularity. In public work that is a notable factor., There will be many problemis to face and recurring decisions to be made and the approval and support of the people will be essential for the best success and harmony. ‘The new council was elected in the largest municipal vote ever held in Timmins. Mr. McDermott, who headeq) the poll, received the record vote of 2427. Never before in the town of Timâ€" mins has any other man received so emphatic an expression of the confidence of the electors. Dr. Day, who received the second highest, vote, 2065, Mr. Bartleman who was third with 1996 votes, Mr. Chateauvert whose total vOte was 1965, Mr. Caron who received only a few less votes than Mr. Chateauâ€" vert, and Mr. Morrison who polled the handsome total of 1744 votes, all have been g:iven very strong public endorsaâ€" tion. Four of the new councillors have had previous experience in municipal service. J. P. Bartleman and J. E. H. Chateauâ€" vert are both members of the present council, while Mr. Chateauvert also served on the 1931 council here as well as having had experience on counc.l in Cochrane. Both Counâ€" cillor Caron and Councillor Morrison gave several years of good service to the town, the work Of the former as chairâ€" man of the public works committee and of the latter as chairman of the contingency and relief committees being especially valuable to the town. While W. P. McDermott and Dr. Day are both new to municipal council work they have had valuable experience in the work of public and semiâ€"public organizations and they will bring to the council a fresh outlook on municipal problems and a close touch with the ideas and opinions of the ordinary ratepayer. In days like these municipal councils are sure to encounter problems and difficult.es. Continueg popularity will have the effect of making it easier for council to meet and deal with any*situations that may arise. The 1935 council is popular at present. If that popularity is transcribed: into active support and encouragement the new council will unâ€" doubtedly prove a good council. ho e on oR oo Hon,. Mr. Heenan, Minister of Lands ang Forest.s for Onâ€" tario, appears to. recognize the fact that a big programme of public enterprise is much to be preferred to a large exâ€" penditure for direct relief. Hon. Mr. Heenan did not hesiâ€" tate to, announce a public works programme, chiefly road building, that would cost the staggering total of $16,000,000. Hon. Mr. Heenan digq not appear to think that even such an expenditure would be too great if it actually relieved the unemployment problem and permitted men to make their own living instead of depending upon the charity of others. There will be very general tendency to agree w.th Hon,. Mr. Heenan in the idea of preferring work to direct relief. Hon, Mr. Heenan might go a step farther and give the settlers of the North a permanent plan to help them from the necesâ€" Ladies‘ Auxiliary Hold Enjoyable Whist Drive The whist drive held in the Oddfelâ€" lows‘ hallon Monday evening, Dec. 3rd, under the auspices of the Ladies‘ Auxiâ€" liary of the Canadian Legion, proved a pleasant and successful event.

Luncheon was served during the evenâ€" ing. G. W. Starling was the M.C. for the occasion. Former Finnish Consul to be Here on Sunday Rev. W. Leiman, pastor of the local the Finish Consulate in Toronto will week that A. Saramaki, formerly of the Fnnish Consulate in Toronto will be in Timmins this Sunday and will address the congregation at the church at 7.30. The subject of his talk will follow events since the independence of Finland was declared in 1917 and what [ sity, of asking for relief. ‘The inauguration of a system of . bonus ‘to the settler for clearing h:s homestead lanmd would accompitsh this very purpose. Settlers in the North Land these days find much difficulty in financing their operations on the farm. Indeed to many of them it is very difficult to provide food and clothing for themselves and fammilies. Many of them are forced upon relief for at least part of the year. Working on the roads has not been a very profitable form of activity, though it is much better than starvation. It does not, however, help clear the farm and establish the farmer. Selling pulpwood and working in the bush are two other methods used by the settler to help himself in his struggle to found a farm. None of these methods are satisâ€" factory. They all, sooner or later, are found to be defeating their own purpose so far as the settler is concerned. Too often the making of thke farm has to be deferred indetinitely to allow concentration on the problem of making an existâ€" ence. Literally hundreds of settlers have been questioned .n the matter and they all agree that present conditions are close to impossible. The only chance they see for any perâ€" manent betterment is through the adoption of some form Jof landâ€"clearing bonus. The land bonus flls the bill. It has been in force for several years in Quebec and appears to be a comp}ete success there. Its cost would be only fraction of relief costs. It would encourage thrift and enâ€" terprise. <It would enable the settler to establish himself without heartbreak. Hon. Mr. Hegnan shoulg investigate and consider the bonus for landâ€"clearing. How far is far? Well, Dr. Lee, of New York, describes Dr. Jdafoe, of fiveâ€"baby fame, and also of Callander, as living "far from civilization". Callander is about ten miles from Powassan. so far must be ten miles. It doesn‘t really seem that far. GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER In a recent address H. C. Hudson, general superintendent f Ontario offices of the Employment Service Of Canada, said:â€""From North Bay comes word that men who are successful in obtaining employment in the lumbering woods are holding on to their jobs to a greater extent than in ‘ormer years. There was a time when it took three gAngs ‘o keep a lumber camp going; one on its way in; one working; and one on its way out. But those days seem to be zone forever." The same idea may apply with equal force o the mining indusiry. There was a time, and not so nany years ago, when men at work at the mines were in ‘the habit of quitting their positions with less reason than would be necessary toâ€"day to make them leave a good posiâ€" ion. Mining camps also had their "three gangs"â€"one at work, one looking for work, and Oone leaving their work. Men working around mines and mining camps are usually idventurous spirits anxious for new scenes and new wWoOrk. They were ready much of the year to move on without much »rovocation. But this again 13 a case where the workers f toâ€"day hes:tate a long time before they will risk the danâ€" rer of losing their position. The presentâ€"day tendency to ri0ld to a jobâ€"any jobâ€"is strong. enough in the North sountry. A certain Toronto newspaper says that there were 13,000 at the big meeting held in the city to celebrate the ‘elease of Tim Buck, the red. "Not so!" says another Toâ€" :onto paper, "the right number is 15,000." Another holds to 16,000 and still another to 17,000. That totals 61,000 doesn‘t it? Quite a crowd to come to see one man out of jail. Which is the richest province in Canada? The Advance would nominate Nova Scot.a, New Brunswick, one or other, or all of the Maritime Provinces. The Maritime Provinces have forwarded to their needy fellow citizens in the drought area of the West not less than fifty carloads of foodstuffs and clothing. The Maritime Provinces may make no boasts of wealth but they certainly are truly rich. The school children at Blairmore, Alberta, were not given a holiday on the occasion of the wedding of Prince George and Princess Marina, and so they talked about having a strike in protest. Serge Kiroff, one of the heads of the Russian communist party, was murdered some days ago. The cables say that in a very short time ten men suspected of being in a murder plot were murdered at the Soviet‘s suggestion. Russia has an odd way of letting them blow off steam. Well, how did you like the election? Shop early! Only fifteen more days to do it in the Finish people have accomplished in their own country. Toronto Star:â€"An Ontario man shct, in Melancthon swamp, a golden eagle with a wing spread of over six feet. Why did he shoot it? No doubt it was because he had a gun with him and the bird came within range. The goldâ€" en eagle is the king of the western hemisphere. It begins to be rare. There is no justification for the killing of these birds. At South Porcupine at two o‘clock on Sunday afternoon Mr. Saramaki will give a similar lecture in the United church to which the public is invited. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TMMINS, ONTARIO How Weather Reacts on Employment Here The Timmins branch of the Employâ€" ment Service of Canada had a striking example of the effect of the weather on emp‘Jyment in the placements from the office during the month of Novemâ€" ber. There was very little demand durâ€" ing November for men for bush work. A few cordwocd cutters seemed to be the only demand for the last week of the ~month. The continued wet and mild weather stopped activity in the logging and pulpwood industry. There were large numbers looking for work in the bush but there was no demang for this labour. A striking illustration of the effect of the weather on employâ€" ment is given by the fact that in Noâ€" vember this year there were only 36 placements from the Timmins office for bush work, while last year, with cold wealther and snow, there were 269 placements from here in November. In the women‘s section the weather had no effect on supply or demand. There were seventeen placements made during the last week in November, Wet and Mild November Helped Building, but Hurt the Bush Industries. In regard to the main ssurce of emâ€" ploymentâ€"miningâ€"the local Employâ€" ment Burearp reports the industry as remaining very active. My. Murphy, superintendent, says there have been calls for various positions for experâ€" ienced men. Thers are also prospects for further employment in mining. The DeSantis Mine is preparing to sink a shaft. The Naybob Gold Mines are preparing for extensive development work. It is expected that work in the Ramore field will be quiet during the winter. The mild weather also no doubt heipâ€" ed the matter of the work on the highâ€" way here.â€" The Leo. Mascioli Construcâ€" tion Co. is the principal employer of highway labour here at present and all workers are secured through the Employment Service of Canada at Timâ€" mins w.th preference being given to local men. Creditors Oof _ Thompsonâ€"Cadillac Mines will hold their first mesting at the offices of the receiver, in Monâ€" treal, on Dec. 7, Harold J. Innis, cusâ€" todian, reporis in a letter to creditors. A total of $84,910 is owing to creditors of the company, mad> up as follows: William J. Bell, Sudbury, $28.471; Blue Prints Ltd., Montieal, $17; Canaâ€" dian Enterprises, Ltd.. $26,962; Haskell Elderkin and Co.. $190; Trusts and Guarartee Co., ToroOnto, $445, and Sir Thomas Tait, Montreal, $28.814. On the other hand the weather durâ€" ing November helped the buiding inâ€" dustry workers, many tradesmen being employed on work be‘ing rushed to comâ€" pleticn before the arrival of cold weaâ€" ther. MEETING OQOF CREDITORS OF THOMSONâ€"CADILLAC (Oshawa Times) We believe that a general vots on the question of beor and wine parlors taken today, would resul; in the overwhelmâ€" ing defeat of the new beer and wine legislation. There are few thinl people to be found in favour of it. Kirkland Lake Northern ~"News:â€" There were just as many careless drivâ€" ers 30 years ago, but t.he horses had more sense. THINKING, NOT DRINKING Department Help to Newer Properties The application of metallurgical science wh.ch has scored many notable triumphs in Canadian mineral endeaâ€" vour is now playing an important role in the development of ang in bringing into production Canada‘s younger gold properties. Of the twentyâ€"e.ght invesâ€" tigaticns recorded by the Department of Mines, Ottawa, in its report of Inâ€" vestigations of its Ore Dressing Diviâ€" sion in the first half of 1933, twentyâ€" were on ores in which gold is the chief metal of value. In practically every case the shipments for test purâ€" poses were from properties that have entered the Canadian mining picture .n recent years. Metallurgical Science Plays Big Part in Development of Younger Gold Mines. The industry‘s outstanding efforts in the way of low grade gold ore producâ€" tion are represented by the Beattie proâ€" perty in western Quebec and the Youngâ€"Davidson property under the control of Hollinger Consolidated Gold Mines, Limited, in the Matachewan area, Ontario. Both of these companâ€" es are operating on ores well below the average grade, and in both cases, the work of the companies metallurgists along with that of the staff of the Ore Dressing and Mettallurgical Division has been a vital factor in the success of developments. The experimental and research work on ore shipments conducted in the laâ€" boratories ranged from microscopic exâ€" amination and chemical analysis to the devising of suitable mill practices for the treatment of the ores. Five were on ores from British Columbia, two from Manitoba, twelve from Ontario. five from Quebec, one from New Brunswick, and three from Nova Scotia The volume of experimental work conducted in the Ore Testing Laboraâ€" tories at Ottawa has increased sharply in recent years, the increase being mainly attributable to the unpreceâ€" dented interest in gold mining operâ€" ations., and to no small extent tc the determination of oprators to make full use of metallurgical science in mill deâ€" sign. Company eng.neers and consultâ€" ing engineers spend considerable time in laboratories investigating their own particular problems and have the beueâ€" fit of the experience and knowledge of the staff, gained in conducting experiâ€" mental work. Repcrts such as the one just issued find a growing field of use among engineers and consultants enâ€" gaged in the design of new milling plants and concentrators. s Large and small companies alike make use of the facilities provideq but the laboratories have been of particuâ€" lar service to operators of small proâ€" perties or of large properties in the earlier stages of development with limited funds at their disposal. New milling plants are ccnstantly being erected, based on the results of investiâ€" gations carried out in the laboratories. Commencing with the present report, "Investigations in Ore Dressing and Metallurgy" is being published half yearly rather than yearly as before. Copies of the report may be obtained from the Director, Mines Branch, Deâ€" partment cf Mines, Ottawa. »NIW UYIH 10 NAVYE8 NV 3 DSNW 3HL NV sDUNOSIY IVHNLVN S YUVYNVD,, CANADA‘S NATURAL RESOURCES t . d 4) Agriculture Interpretation of Accidents Secondly, he announced a change regarding the interpretation of indusâ€" trial acc.dents. The schedule of inâ€" dustrial accident lists a number of diâ€" seases and opposite them is placed the occupation in which these diseases may be contracted. These are regardeq As Iindustrial accidents. Two New Rules in Compensation Act Two important changes have been announced in regard to the rules of the Workmen‘s Compensation Board. The new regulations were sutlined at Toronto by Hon. Arthur W. Roebuck, Attorneyâ€"General. Under the new rullng, if a Gisease is coptracted in the ccecupation set oppoâ€" site it in the schedule, it is to be preâ€" sumed the disease arose out of the proâ€" cess. Change Made in Regulation in Regard to Liability for Certain Diseases in Occuâ€" pations. Where there is no substantial doubt regarding an application the case goes no further than board officials, e Attorneyâ€"General stated, adding this would be a more liberal adaptation of the act. _ _ If the disease, however, is esntracted in a process not opposite in the scheâ€" dule but included ths applicant is entitled to payment on prcof the diâ€" sease, was contracted as a result of ocupation in one of these processes. "It is not a case of getting a workâ€" man something to which he is not enâ€" titled," said,. the Attorney General, reading the statute providing for payâ€" ment to a workman diâ€" seases in certain occupations. CaANADA‘s latent and developed water power, larger than any other country in the World, constitutes one of her most valuable natural resources. The task of harnessing the rushing rapids and waterâ€" falls, the building of dams and power plants and the laying of transmission lines to carry the energy, has fallen to Canadian men of brains and muscle and brawn. In addition, this power development has opened up everâ€"expanding fields of new industrics which could not have existed without readily availâ€" able power in quantity. For the past 21 years "Canada‘s Biggest Cook®" has been prominently identified with the task of caring for the men engaged in developing Canada‘s hydro power resources. Serving strengthening, satisfying food, improving the bedding and housing conditions of the camps and relieving executives from the harâ€" assing details of labour maintenance, Crawley and McCracken have played‘their part in the important work. They are pmud to have cared for the men who have furthered the clment of Canada‘s power. WHITE OWL THURSDAY, DECEMBER GTH, 1934 Just take a tip from this ® wise old bird: IWL GA R S Question of Silicosts In the past, payment restricted to processes set opposite the discase, the Attorneyâ€"General explaned. For instance, silicosis, while contracted in several accupations, only brought the compensation if contracted in the minâ€" ing industry. w Among the industrlal conâ€" tained in the schedule are anthrax, from handling wool, and ?neumocon- fosis from quarrying. "I have long felt that objections to the Workmen‘s Compensation Act were largely due to star chamber methods employed in hearing of cases." said the Attorneyâ€"General, adding> "a much more liberal psl.cy is now pursued."
