ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontario« Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"PHONESâ€"â€"â€"â€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: Canadaâ€"§#2.00 Per Year Timmins, Ont., Thursday, Nov. 21st, 1935 A copy of "The Gold Hunter and Farmers‘ Jourâ€"| nal," published at Caledonia, Queen‘s Nova Scotia, reached The Advance office this week ! and proved of more than passing interest. Beâ€" neath the headline of the newspaper is the motto: "No man‘s slave; every man‘s servant; every man‘s| friend.‘" The newspaper itself is unassuming and without pretension to be other than it isâ€"a locali home paperâ€"yet there are indications that in its| own plain way it is living up to its great mottoâ€"| "No man‘s slave; every man‘s servant; every man‘s friend." There is not a line of servility in the four| large pages of ‘"The Gold Hunter." But there are| many evidences of serviceâ€"in the homely items| of interest to the people of the community, in the{ announcements of events and affairs, in the in-l formation given and even in the advertisements ' It is the sort of newspaper that is read by its cnolet of readers, at home and abroad, from beginning to end. «And "friend to every man" it is, as will be seen by the kindly tone of all its items and cormâ€" ments. | | ! | There was a time when every newspaper carâ€" ried a motto at the masthead. There is the famous quotation from the "Letters of Junius‘"‘ that has stood for over ninety years at the head of the ediâ€" torial page of The Toronto Globe:â€"‘"The subject who is truly loyal to the Chief Magistrate will neither advise nor submit to adbitrary measures." A noble motto, and there are a score of examples through the years where it has been nobly upheid. even at the risk of loss and possible ruin. wl eP C L AAL C AALAL LA â€"AC AC C ACâ€"AC C PPAE e NEWSPAPER MOTTOES In recent years there has been a tendency for newspapers to drop these mottoes at the mastâ€" head. The Orillia Newsâ€"Letter for years carried each issue an extended st2tement of the ideals of a newspaper, but recently this has been dropped, though the ideals have been maintained. Quesâ€" tions of space and convenience, no doubt, are reâ€" sponsible for the dropping of the old mottoes on newspapers. With them has gone something of glamour, of purpose and of inspiration. The newsâ€" paper is more of a business toâ€"day and less of a profession than in days gone by. The Hanna Herald, of Hanna, Alberta, upâ€"toâ€"date in business, still retains the catchâ€"line after its heading, "A Paper with a Conscience." The Hanna Herald has a conscience all right, but so has the averagel newspaper of any length years. It takes a conscience , as well as a lot of endurance to sur-‘ In place of the oldâ€"time mottoes some news-; papers carry slogans or catchwords toâ€"day. For | instance, The Chicago Tribune, with typical mod-} esty calls itself "The World‘s Greatest Newspaper." | A certain or uncertain Toronto newspaper 18 notl so bold, referring to itself in the catchâ€" line, “Oner of the World‘s Great Newspapers." The North | American, of Philadelphia, has on one side of its’ heading the words, "It‘s all here, it‘s all true." On| the other side of the heading the other day were‘ the words:â€"‘"Weather Unsettled." A number of United States journals used to feature the sloganl "The News when it‘s News," but this catchword| lost much of its popularity when the thoughtfull reading public began to suggest a better slogan.’ "Believe it or Not." ' Some of the slogans, like some of the oldâ€"time mottoes are more presumptious than truthful., They may, however, serve a useful purpose by the inspiration given the newspaper itself. There are‘ fashions in these things just as in other lines, and? if ever the motto or the slogan is adopted again; by newspapers in general there is none that| would carry more inspiration and appeal than the | one used by the Nova Scotia newspaper: "No man‘s slave; every man‘s servant; ei'ery man‘s frienci.”I It is a noble mark for the aim of any community| newspaper. | Apparently life is not nearly so bad at Portsâ€" mouth penitentiary as The Toronto Globe, Miss| Agnes Macphail, M.P., and some other good ladlesg have appeared to think.

A similar scheme was advanced some years ago but was dropped after heated proâ€" test from the North. One of the strongest supâ€" porters of Hydro in the North at that time was | bitterly opposed to the suggested development beâ€" cause it involved the damming and diverting of the Ogoki river to form a large lake that would drain into the Great Lakes instead of into Hudâ€" son‘s Bay as at present. "It is nothing more nor less than a brazen scheme to steal a whole river from the North," he said, adding a reference to the large area that would be taken from possible use by such a procedure. | | | | | | | For over thirty years he enjoyed the hospitality of Portsmouth penitentiary. If any man should know the general conditions in the prison this man should. If it were the den of horrors that some people pretend, Mr. Chartrand would have taken good care to avoid a return to the place, except under the greatest provocatiorâ€"such as the necessity for shooting another policeman, for inâ€" stance. Instead, what has happened? Why this Mr. Chartrand appealed to the police at Montreal some days ago to please send him back to Portsâ€" mouth. He was so insistent about the matter, pleaded so hard to be allowed to go"home" as he called it, that the kindly authorities met his reâ€" quest. The technicality that he had broken his parole was used to accommodate the gentleman. He is now happy at Portsmouth. What has The Globe to say about this? Surely it shows that the penitentiary is not the unbearable place it has been pictured by some. Indeed, it would seem that it is not too fearsome a place for those who make the best of it, though it may be unpleasant for the confirmed wrongâ€"doer or the man looking for preâ€" ferred treatment. In case The Globe does not think of the answer The Advance would suggest it about like this:â€"*"Mr. Chartrand was glad to leave in August when he was paroled by the wicked Tory government, but he was equally glad to reâ€" turn to the glorified prison, purified and perfected by the simple change of government at Ottawa." | Automobile license plates for 1936 are now iavailable. This seems a much better plan than the previous procedure of not having the new | plates available until February or March, or later in each yvear. | GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACEER | The editor of The Midland Free Press offers a million dollars to the first Canadian woman who will give birth to sextuplets, After the birth of the Dionne quintuplets it is much easier to imagine the birth of sextuplets than it is to conjure up a newspaper editor with a million dollars. Ssome newspapers are already pointing out that the trade agreement made by Premier King with the United States has one bad featureâ€"the free admission of United States magazines. Not only will it create again the danger of flooding Canaâ€" dian homes with a particularly undesirable form of trash and filth, but it will mean also loss of employment to thousands of Canadians who were engaged in the work of printing Canadian editions for some of the better class United States magaâ€" zines. The discovery of this one bad feature of the trade agreement is liable to be followed by the finding of other clauses equally undesirable. The truth seems to be that the agreement was accepted too hastily and that as a consequence it does not meet the Canadian side of the case as it should. There are 207 candidates for the 88 seats in the Quebec elections now in progress. The battle will be a heated one, for Quebec knows how to get the maximum of interest from an election and at the same time secure as good a government as other provinces with less enthusiasm for a political battle. It is just five weeks until Christmas will be here, but most people have forgotten how many weeks have gone by since the war in Ethiopia commenced From Ethiopia comes news that the Ethiopians have at last blocked the Italian advance. The story is that thirty thousand Ethiopian warriors have succeeded in getting in behind the invading forces with the danger of the Ethiopians cutting the Italian lines of communication. The story reached the North first by way of the radio when people understood there were 300,000 Ethiopians breaking through the Italian lines. The .same evening The Mail and Empire came here with the news that 30,000 Ethiopians were concerned in the successful trick played on the Italian â€" forces. Most people will be afraid of a letter following to say it was 3,000 Ethiopians, with perhaps a mesâ€" senger arriving later with the news that only 300 Ethiopians were in the ganmre. Those who remember the stories of the progress of the Russoâ€"Japan war some years ago will susâ€" pect that the same gentleman is writing the news of the war in Ethiopia. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE.

The entertainment was run on cabaret style and found much favour with the audience of 1000 guests. Mr. King, in addition to presenting his detailed report of the proceedings, showed the local Kiwanians These things and a great many more were tolg to local Kiwanians on Monâ€" day when E. H. King, official delegate to the Ontarioâ€"Quebecâ€"Maritime conâ€" vention at London on September 22nd, 23rd and 24th, delivered his report. Report of E. H. King, Delegate to Shows what is Being Attempted. Interesting Report of Convention wanis on Monday. Following registration on the aftetrâ€" noon of the 22nd, a musicale in Lowe‘s theatre, attended by 500 guests and 2000 Kiwanis qelegates and their wives, officially opened the convention. The Kiwanis boys‘ band of Windsor in their blue and white uniforms made a fine feature of the evening. "Matched for His Hour," an address by Rev. Tom Roy of Worcester, Mass., dealt with the growing unrest on the continent. "Capital and capital alone has the answer to communism. Until capitalâ€" ism can demonstrate to humanity it can go out and builg an cpportunity for men, then any amount of talking cannot stave off communism," said Mr. Roy. "Punishment of eriimne here should not be punitive but remedial," he told them, dealing with the penitentiary system. Work Hard for Children FPollowing an address of welcome by Mayor Geo. A. Wenige and â€"a response by Wm. R. Cockburn, Governor F. G. McAlister‘s message was delivered. "In membership, in attendance, in money made available for furthering our obâ€" jectives and in personal participation in community service aggressive adâ€" vances have been made with the plans that are at pressgnt under way, we can look ahead confidently to still greater achievements," he told the great gathâ€" ering, as he reviewed the more imporâ€" tant activities of the year. ‘"We have been endeavouring this year to qgrill down through the surface saoil of the sentimental and shallow selfâ€"satisfacâ€" tion to be casily found in merely givâ€" ing something to or doing something for an unfortunate child. We have been finding out that ‘pay dirt‘ lies deeper and that after all whas we are really after is to locate and bring up to the surface the hidden excellence that is in many of these boys and girls. We are in the business of prospecting for qualiâ€" ties and gifts of human personality which would otherwise be smothered and wasted by adveres circumstances," he said. Goldcisr Rule Not Rule of Gold "This country is not a corn crib out of which to feed." Secretary Fred C. Gold(sm: Rule Not Rule of Gold "This country is not a corn crib out of which to feed," Secretary Fred C. wW. Parker reminded the Kiwanians, "but is an altar on which to sacrifice, by doing our share in the solution of the problems that vex us. Only the Golden Rule and not the rule of gold will save this country or aid in the solution of present and future social and economic problems." At the Monday luncheon W. E. Gorâ€" don, of Toronto, touched on the probâ€" lem of the youth of the land. "Four hundred and seventyâ€"five thousand young men of Canada are out of emâ€" ployment," he said, "‘only a fraction of them registered. One hundred thousand are added yearly from Ontario schools alone. The lack of ability to obtain employment is causing menial breakâ€" down." His remedyâ€"*"Fnysical labour must be dignified again." At committee meetings after lunâ€" cheon club activitiee were discussed, ways and means of raising money, enâ€" tertainment of visitors and how to get the coâ€"operation not only of members but of others in the work. On Monday evening, Mr. and Mrs. King attended the Governor‘s banquet and ball, held in two large dining rooms in order to accommodate the large crowd. International Trustee Copeland ‘Callen was the speaker at the function. On Tuesday morning presentation of cups and business sessions were the order. Niagara Falls club received the trophy for highest average attendance. Achievement contest trophies went to Peterborough, Montreal and Riverdale. Advises Return to Oxen The famous Welland humorist, Louis B. Dufi, was the speaker at the Tuesâ€" day luncheon. His suggestion to fix up the whole country was to return to oxen for transportation. "Just make me dictator (I‘m as good as these felâ€" lows Hitler and Mussolini) and T‘ll fix it for you," he pleaded. ‘"Think of the advantages of oxen plodding the highâ€" ways instead of straight gights. It would be a new era. A scrub bull would be worth more than a retainer from Beauharnois. All the auctioneers and radio announcers in the country could get jobs driving oxen. The 90 per cent. of our population now trying to sell gasoline could raise fodder. When the oxen needed shoeing we could get as blacksmiths most of the piano players in the country. And if our ‘leading‘ citizens left on a trip to see another city, they couldn‘t get back by oxen team before February." At the Tuesday afterncon business session F. P. Dawsen of Sarnia was elected governor. It was at this meetâ€" ing that W. R. â€"Willard of Toronto said "High school childrer are reading literature that is filthy and degradâ€" ing," when he sponsored a resolution asking for a checkâ€"up on the tyues Mr. King, in addition to presenting his detailed report of the proceedings, showed the local Kiwanians photo graphs he took of the proceedings both indoors and outdoors. J. R. Walker on behalf of the club, thanked Mr. King for his comprehenâ€" sive and interesting report. "Jimmy," the lad from Iroquois Falis who was befriended by the Kiwanis Club, is now able to leave St., Mary‘s hospital and go to his home. Amid great rejoicing by the boy‘s parents and friends, it was announcedgd last weekâ€" end that he will probably be able to walk.
