m TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontarinâ€" Quebe* Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26â€" PHONESâ€"â€"â€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: Efforts are being made at present to raise false issues for the coming municipal election, but there is really only the one issueâ€"â€"whether the electors are to be bamboozled by false suggestions, egotisâ€" tical claims and impossible promises, or whether they will judge men on their records, The Adâ€" vance has every confidence in the good sense of the electors of Timmins and believes that the silly policy of high pressure hysteria used by some will prove unavailing. The men behind this form of campaign are the same who foisted the 1926 counâ€" cil on the town with consequences that injured the town for years. Conditions such as prevailed in 1926 in town may be advantageous for a few of undesirable type but are most injurious to the people in general for whom they mean only loss and grief At the present time there are reports current of this and that notorious character preâ€" paring to move back to town in case the highâ€" pressure campaign is successful. The people are not likely to be foolish enough to overlook all this, nor to neglect the fact that all the supposed cases of wrongâ€"doing trumped up only to be disproven as soon as given publicity are simply schemes to becloud the real purpose of the campaign. m t hP AL LA ALC L LC C LAE PE CCA PP lt ISSUE OF THE ELECTION | In a word the issue is whether the people want wild talk, talk. talk, nothing but talk, or whether| they wish their affairs conducted sanely, sensibly | and efficiently. The town at present is in excelâ€" lert position, financially and otherwise. The preâ€" sent mayor and council have given splendid serâ€" vice to the town and no doubt would have given, better had their time and effort not been taken up | so much with continued call for unnecessary ex-l planations from one of their number who seemed to do nothing all year but find fault and obstruct.} The financial statement to be published this week | will show how carefully and efficiently the finanâ€" cial affairs of the town have been looked after.| The town has the best police force in its’history,’ and that is high compliment. The fire departâ€" ment is functioning with its oldâ€"time efficiency.i The public works department has been carried along in excellent way. The administration of the relief department is most creditable to all conâ€"| cerned, and its efficiency might well be the envy! of most other towns and\c,it,i.es. ‘The mayor. and all . the councillors seem to have performed their duâ€"| ties in excellent way. Possibly the majority of; them have not advertised themselves and their good work sufficiently, but at least one of thelrt number has offset this by taking the public standi that everything anyone may think of value WaSE done by him alone, while everything not so satis-; factory must be blamed on everyone else. The people of Timmins are not likely to be deceived by! any such silly claim. The record shows the facts and indicates that the affairs of the town in gen-} eral have been well handled, despite perverse obâ€" structionist tactics this year as last year. Timmins, Ont., Monday, Nov. 18th, 1935 Present indications are that there will be good material available from which to seilect a proper mayor and council for 1936. The town has come through <the depression possibly better tha;i' any . other town in Canada, but this is all the more reaâ€" Z son why there should be no monkeywrenches thrown in the municipal works at this time. Elecâ€" tors would do well to be on their guard against organized deception. There is a report current to the effect that it is the plan of one mayoralty candidate to use the organization of the C. C. F. from the recent dominion election to assure his election. Any attempt along this line should be met by tl}g ratepayers of all political stripes jJoinâ€" ing in a citizens‘ organization to cireumvent any such attempts at machine politics. In the past the citizens have earnestly opposed and upset every attempt to introduce provincial or Dominion politics into municipal affairs, knowing well that all such attempts have improper purposes behind them and are distinctly against the best interests oft the town. Ohe Vorrupine Aduancer A speaker over the radio the other evening made the ‘astounding suggestion that Timmins never had, a really good mayorâ€"that there was someâ€" thing seriously wrong with all of them. â€" Newâ€" comers in the camp may take such a suggestion thing seriously wrong with all of them. â€" Newâ€" comers in the camp may take sutch a suggestion at its face value, but to anyone who knowsithe story of the progress of Timmins and the pleasure of living in this town through the years will rather recail the fact that Timmins for the first time in its history is threatened with an unworthy mayor, though the threat is probably more "talk" than anything eise. It may not be amiss to recall the worthy men who served the town well in past years in the mayor‘s chair. The first mayor of the town was the late W. H. Wilson who gave . .. years‘ good service. Folâ€" lowing the first mayor came J. P. McLaughlin, who gave further dignity to the office by his perâ€" sonality and his business ability. Dr. J. A. Mcâ€" Innis, the third mayor of Timmins, served the town ablyâ€"and well for seven years, The only w mp P l P is P P BP AP PP E:s .ce *n i: â€" w 00. .c * D: ie iess GOOD MA YORS OF TIMMIN®S Uniteg Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year breath of scandal during his long regime came from those who themselves had halitosis. His tact, his friendliness, his ability to meet the public were especially valuable to Timmins during years when delegations from the South came frequently to this country. Dr. Mcinnis made an ideal host and there is no doubt that he did as much as any man to make the needs of the country known and to secure a fair deal for the town. The busiâ€" ness side of the municipal office was equally well cared for during his regime. His record should be a strong factor in his success in the coming municipal contest in which he has announced himself as candidate for the mayor‘s chair. With his affiliations at Toronto and Ottawa and his agreeable disposition he should be a particularly| valuable man for mayor for 1936. Dr. McInnis was followed in the mayor‘s chair by E. G. Dickson who held the office for one difficult year, and was sucâ€" ceeded by E. L. Longmore. Mayor Longmore‘s name was probably the first to spring to the minds of those who heard the suggestion over the radio, as Mr. Longmore is generally considered as proâ€" bably the best of all the good mayors of Timmins. Mr. Longmore undertook a very difficult task and carried it through with decided advantage to the town as well as credit to himself. After Mr. Longâ€" more came Geo. S. Drew, who served the town ably and efflciently. He was followed by the preâ€" sent mayor R. Richardson, who has carried on the office with credit to himself and advantage to the town. None of these mayors have sounded their own praises. Possibly their true value would be recognized to greater general extent had they been more vocal in selfâ€"commendation. Howevetr, citizens of the town do appreciate the good serâ€" vices they have received in the past from mayors and councils who served unselfishly and to the town‘s advantage. Timmins need make no apoloâ€" gies for present or past mayors. They always rose to the occasion. They always did their duty as they saw it, without fear or favour, but still withâ€" out senseless rancor or the bitterness that alienâ€" ates good will. Despite the suggestion by the radio artist, there wasn‘t a "yesâ€"man" among them. At the same time there was not one of them with a penchant for unnecessary quarrels that imâ€" posed foolish costs upon the town. If Timmins has as good mayors in the future as it has had in the past, Timmins will continue to prosper and progress and be a happy town in which to live. At an inquest at Kapuskasing into the deaths of two young men who were killed in an automoâ€" bile accident near Cochrane, Coroner E. R. Tucker, the coroner‘s jury and the police alike proved the value of the coroner‘s jury system for the public advantage. By careful work on the part of the police and skilled questioning on the part of the coroner and jury, it was possible to establish the real cause of the tragedyâ€"excessive speed. By taking the time the party of young people left Cochrane until the time of the tragedy, it was proven beyond question that the car had been travelling at a speed of possibly 70 miles an hour â€"a rate at which it was impossible for the driver to control the car on the road used. The jury‘s verdict concluded as follows:â€""We find that the cause of the accident was the excessive speed on the part of the driver of the car in which the deâ€" ceased were riding. In view of the fact that a large percentage of fatal accidents on the highâ€" ways are caused by automobiles travelling at a rate of speed in excess of fifty miles per hour, we feel that the great loss of life from this cause warrants the government in giving serious conâ€" sideration to the passing of legislation compelling all automobiles sold after a certain date to be equipped with speed governors limiting the rate of speed at which an automobile can be driven to fifty miles per hour." The verdict of the Kapuskasing jury should reâ€" ceive very special attention. It gives in plain language the real cause of the accident, and then adds a pertinent suggestion to avoid similar traâ€" gedies in the future. The suggestion for mechanically limiting the speed of motor cars seems a most timely and deâ€" sirable one. The government would do well to heed it. Dalton‘s Taxi Service, Timmins, and Mcâ€" Lellan‘s Taxis, Kirkland Lake, are among those already using the governor system to prevent exâ€" cessive speed. They find the plan practical and of value to the taxi owners as well as a safeguard to the public. On the roads of the North a speed over fifty miles per hour is seldom safe, and usuâ€" ally very dangerous. It is to be hoped that in the public interests the suggestion of the jury at Kapuskasing is given the most careful attention and consideration by the powers that be. At a local eating place, a wellâ€"known town genâ€" tleman, who is a bachelor of long standing, comâ€" plained about the way his order of buttered tarts was served. The usually goodâ€"humoured waitress was peeved at his complaint. ‘"No wonder fellows like you can‘t get wives," she commented. And the gentleman and bachelor replied:â€"*"I‘m not proâ€" posing marriage. I‘m simply ordering buttered tarts!" About the hardest physical exercise some people take is to pat themselves on the back. The man who claims to be all good and that everybody else is all bad will bear watching, to say the least.

Williams, formerly of Timmins, iS!m the secretary. The figures were . tedly incomplete but they were mosti r%:m impressive, showing the indirect value’ M;pl to the country of the industry through| ____‘"_ the help it gave other industries and | RrROOM business in general. Now, the Dominâ€"| room ion Bursau of Statistics, with the co-i sant. operation of the Canadian Metal Minâ€"| ing Association, the Ontario Mining| Association and other organizations, | HOUSI has made a wider survey and it proâ€" duces a figure og $76,083,000 as outlay| R A by the mines of Canada in 1934. Adâ€". Sout] mittedly the survey did not cover allfFZia operations, ‘such as prospecting and exâ€" ‘ S‘outl' ploration and the activities of the nuâ€"| merous syndicates. The real figure is | probably closer to $90,000,000. 3441 R The Bureau, in its report, points out ‘ that the figures represent only the di-! C HE rect purchasing power of the industry| B0A and go not entirely reflect the increasâ€"| fStxe' or i ing economic .importance of the comâ€"| munities dependent, partially or enâ€"| 't,irely. on the development of Canadian | mineral resources. [ Dominion â€" Bureau Figures Suggest the Amount will Total Fully Eighty Milâ€" The reports shows that metal mining, nonâ€"ferrous smelting and refining acâ€" counted for 89 per cent. of the purâ€" chases listed. This is interesting, for the reason that production of metalli¢s in Canada in 1934 amounted to $193,â€" 845,512 in value, as compared with an outlay for supplies of $60,979,000. Ia may be noted, in parenthesis, that the computation does not include exâ€" penditures for labour, but it does inâ€" clude power, freight and insurance. In considering the purchasing power and the production value of the indusâ€" try it is worth noting that about 90| per cent. of the metallics and a largel percentage of the nonâ€"metallics are exâ€" | ported. This flow of mineral products abroad has a potent effect on Canada‘s trade balance. Moreover, the gold and silver producing companies are nod | in competition with one another. The mines that turn out copper, nickel, lead, zinc and platinum find an outlet in the world market. | Of the total expenditures in all branchses of the industry throughout the Dominion those of Ontario gmountâ€" ed to $35,072,000 or 46.1 per cent.; those of British Columbia (including Yukon) were second in importance with a toâ€" tal value of $17,531,000 or 23.1 per cent.; Quebec was third at $9,714,000, and in the order of importance the other corâ€" responding provincial expenditures were as follows: Nova Scotia $5,488,000; Manitoba â€"(including Saskatchewan) 24,843,000; Alberta $3,196,000 and New Brunswick $240,000. The magnitude of certain particular expenditures is reflected in such items as $9,139,000 for electric power, $11,â€" 787,000 for freight, $8,671,000 for coal, oil and other fuel, $5,311,000 for exâ€" plosives, $4,154,000 for lumber and timâ€" ber, $2,301,000 for flotation reagents, cyanide and other chemicals, and $1,050,000 for rock drills and parts. Othâ€" er interesting items include $1,665,000 for pivpe and fittings, plumbing supplies and valves, $2,343,000 for electrical equipment and supplies, $385,000 for stationery, office equipment,; etc., and $58,400 for hospital equipment.
