The story of"the "Buctess of Noah Timmins is that of the pioneer, the adventurer, the patriot. It may be said that it was luck that won him and his associatesia fortune in Cobalt It cannot on the other hand b!xinld that pluck was the greater In the death last week of Noah A. Timmins, the mining industry suffered a serious loss. The death is particularly a loss to the North Land where mining is so important an industry, while the loss to the town of Timmins and district is greater than most people realize. To Timmins and the North the Hollinger Consolidated Gold Mines Limited represents an industry that is the basis of proâ€" gress and prosperity. It is well known that Noah Timmins was the leader in all Hollinger enterâ€" prises, that his was the genius, the boundless faith, that made the Hollinger a power in the land. There is no doubt but that his associates will carry on the various activities under the Hollinger wing, but no one perhaps realizes as well as these assoâ€" clates how great a factor in all advancement was the optimistic and farâ€"visioned personality of Noah AÂ¥. Timmins. The town of Timmins has been fortunate indeed, in the personnel of the management and directorâ€" ate of the Hollinger Mine. But to state this truth is simply to hark back to Noah Timmins and his belief in the North, his strength of purpose and his keen vision of the future. The leading, the drivâ€" ing force in much that has been accomplished was undoubtedly Noah Timmins. His inspiration will make it possible for those who follow him to carry on to further success, but the death of Noah Timâ€" mins is one that will be deeply felt in Timmins in the North and through all Canada. a life. But in honouring the old king, there should be remembrance of the honour due the new king. King Edward VIII has already given able and disâ€" tinguished service to his day and generation. With his outstanding ability, his earnestness, his devoâ€" tion to the ideals that the British people hold dear, there is no doubt but that he will serve his people loyally and well. "Honour the King!" ed in the desire to do honour. The many honours to be shown toâ€"morrow indicate the feelings of the public at large. The schools are to be closed. Sstores and other business places will not open for business. It is the first time in the history of Timmins, for example, that drug stores and simiâ€" lar places will remain closed for so many business hoursâ€"the full period during which the last sad honours are being paid the dead king overseas. The mines will be closed for the day, and other industries will follow similar plan. In Timmins there will be a community service in the morning and at this service all citizens, led by mayor and council, clergy and other leaders will do honour to a great king and a good man. The tribute to bei paid King George V. is a notable one. Seldom in the history of the years has so much genuine, honour been shown to any man. Yet even more remarkable than the honour itself is the spirit of the people in the matter. From the new king has come the generous thought that because of the difficult conditions of the day, there will be no. proclamgtton of a day of mourning. The Cana-} dian Government replies to this by saying that the | Canadian people wish such a day. In this the gov-l‘ ernment has rightly gauged the feelings of Canadian people. Canadians truly desire to show !. all honour to King George V. even at the cost of sacrifice and temporal loss. To The Advance office. have come scores of engquiries in regard to the observance of a day of mourning. The tenor of all these queries has been that all honour should_ be shown the great and good king whose reign is over, and that neither profit nor conven-f ience should be considered in this matter in which, the people feel so deeply and so sincerely. It is well that the memory of the late king should be honoured. No honour seems too great for such "Honour the King!" is an injunction supported by religion, reason and right. The King as the head of the state, the government, the community life of the people must be honoured or the people dishonour themselves. At the present moment the honour being shown by the people through the length and breadth of the British Empire to the king who has just passed away is most impressive in its scope and its sincerity. It is an honour not alone to the late king. It is an honour to the peoâ€" ple of the Empire who show honour. In honouring King George V. the people of the Empire are showâ€" ing honour to a virtuous life that has been an example to all, a rare devotion to duty, an earnest and able servant of the people. When the people honour these things they honour themselves. The outward signs of the honour conferred on the late king are noteworthy. Flags at halfâ€"mast reflect the sorrow in the people‘s hearts. Services in memory of the late king in all churches have been largely attended by hosts who bring with them a reverent attitude. The postponement of amusement events, sports, athletics, meetings and other affairs indicates that convenience is neglectâ€" ‘ Canadaâ€"$2.00 Per Year Timmins, Ont., Monday, January 27th, 1936 TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members Ca nadhn Weekly Newmper Assoctation:; Ontlarinâ€" Queber Newspa ; Class "A" Weekly Group GEO E, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: P P PPA ""'. Cle Yorrugine Aduance HONOUR THE KING «e t Uniteéq Statesâ€"83.00 Per Yeatr \__In the town of Timmins Noah A. Timmins had many warm personal friends. He was famed for ‘his loyalty to his associates. There were few who were not affected in 1934 at the banquet here when Noah Timmins spoke so feelingly of his associates in business. Of the original group of pioneers who made the Hollinger possible there are none now left. Mr. Timmins spoke of his personal loss in the passing of the men who had been his friends and supporters through anxious days and ‘ more prosperous times. To hundreds in this town and in the North there will be the same sense of keen loss and genuine bereavement in the death ‘ of Noah A. Timmins, farâ€"sighted in vision, gallant in courage, firm in faith, and true to the end in loyalty and friendship. There will be a general feeling that there should be a fiitting memorial in this town to honour the life and effort of the man so largely responsible for the development and prosperity of the town that bears his nameâ€"Noah A. Timmins. A comâ€" munity hall would be an appropriate memorial to commemorate the great part taken in the progress and prosperity of Timmins by the late Noah A. Timmins. A Canadian lawyer, Andrew Bonar Law, wWwas once premier of Great Britain. Now a Canadian rancher sits on the British throne. The North needs a government radio relay staâ€" tion to make radio available for the North,. The government‘s answer to this to start a scheme for collecting radio license fees from the people who own good radies but who have not been receiving much good radio. The Writers‘ Club of Toronto is establishing a magazine to consider and publish stories by young authors. In the terms of modern slang, this should be a break for the newspapers. In considering Premier Aberhart‘s pronouncteâ€" ment that there will be no newspapers in Heaven, it should be remembered that all Premier Aberâ€" hart knows about it is what he sees in the newsâ€" papers A few days ago Premier Aberhart of Alberta made the flat statement that there will be no newspapers in Heaven. Then he turned round and started a newspaper of his own. Every newsâ€" paperman should known the answer to this one. Although less than 27 days of the first month of this year have passed, 1936 has taken a sad toll of death in the list of men and women of outstandâ€" ing prominence and service. GRAVEL f\ND SANDâ€"-AND PLACER ‘ s ~lP PP | â€" The story of Noah Timmins‘ part in the developâ€" ment of the mining industry is well known. It is not so clearly realized what he and his associates did for this town that bears his honoured name. He did little advertising of his benefactions, but his gifts were many, and his aid was always availâ€" | able for any worthy cause in Timmins. With thought only of the interests of the town, the presâ€" ident of the Hollinger saw to it that the town had | it first hotel, an institution that was a credit to Timmins in its early days. The skating and hockey rink was anotlhier Timmins enterprise for the adâ€" vantage of the town and not for profit. The Holâ€" linger houses, providing needed accommodation and tending to keep rentals at reasonable stanâ€" dards, are further evidence of his wise interest in the welfare of the town and people. The golf course and club house is another example of Holâ€" linger thought for the people. The establishment of the Hollinger Stores and the disposal of the same when the need was served may be quoted as still another evidence of the careful thought and care given to the interests of the people in general. ! Hollinger support of sports, of the Timmins Citi-; zens‘ Band, of any and every community cause, } may be cited as proof of the fact that the Hollinger always remembered this town. The magnificent hospital here would not have been possible toâ€"day without the generosity of the Hollinger in the pést. The Timmins athletic groundsâ€"valuable land in the heart of the town reserved for the use of all the peopleâ€"is one more generous service given the public. The town has the Hollinger to thank for its cheap water rates. Time and again the Holâ€" linger has financed the town of Timmins by the purchase of debentures and in other ways. The Hollinger did its full share in the meeting of the expense involved in the town park at the T. N. 0. station and the erection of the memorial there. The returned soldiers have always had a warm friend and helper in the Hollinger Mine. Generous, | support has been given by the Hollinger to the Children‘s Aid and to every other worthy cause connected with the town or district. The town of Timmins would be ungrateful indeed if it did not recognize the friendly helpful spirit of the Holâ€" linger, and it would be equally shortsighted not to realize the fact that in every good work there could be seen the hand and heart of the president of the company. | element in the achievment of success in the Porecuâ€" pine field.
