Any man from the North caugitit wearing corsets would not be able to reâ€" turn to the North if the corsetâ€"wearing once beâ€" came known. There are limits to the crimes that are condoned in this country. Timmins once had a chief of police who boasted of wearing pyjamas, and it took the town years to get over that. It was felt that this was a heâ€"man country and that if a man .got so upetty that he needed different clothes for night time than for day time, he should at least be content with the manly old nightshirt. In case the Toronto police intend to inaugurate a corset inspection on all weekâ€"end excursions from the North The Advance hastens to inform the officers that, while any man wearing corsets is a just object of suspicion, they must not associate corsets and gold too closely. It is an axiom of the oldâ€"time prospector that "gold is where you find it." The oldâ€"timer now may add corsets to apple trees and Sault Ste. Marie turkey gizzards as posâ€" sible locations for gold, but the police officer will have to be more cirecumspect. !W «t P P P P P CAAA C P LA :i P P L PP L P L AL PA ~ALP P AC P LA L it '\" No doubt after this the Toronto police will be| constantly on the suspicious lookâ€"out for men from~ If the North wearing corsets. In this they will have| o1 the entire sympathy of the men of the North. The] At the present moment Toronto newspapers apâ€" pear to be greatly interested in the styles of corsets they believe to be fashionable in the North, The newspapers caught their interest in corsets from the city police. Toronto police were so curious about the wearing of corsets by a man who came down from the North last week that they comâ€" pelled the gentleman to strip right down to his corsetsâ€"and then they took the corsets off him. One newspaper suggests that the genial G. C. Bateman, secretary of the Ontario Mining Assoâ€" ciation, was an interested onlooker at this strip act. In any event the police story is that the genâ€" tleman who came down from the North not only wore corsets but he had on a chic canvas vest beâ€" neath the corsets. In the pockets in this underâ€" vest, the police allege they found melted gold to the value of around $6,000.00.

It is a proof of the common belief in the | power of the newspaper. In Alberta the Social !Credit party had made full use of the radio for propaganda purposes, but found this inadequate. ‘And no wonder! Alberta is not the only place | where radio have found it necessary to subsidize a newspaper for support. The public however, are not deceived for long. Newspapers have been subsidized by various interests at different times.

A plan that is in the public interests does not need to subsidize the newspapers. The public know this, and so the subsidized newspaper has usually a short life and tlittle real influence while it lives. recommended clemency on the grounds that the couple were weakâ€"minded.

The correspondent points out that now is a specially opportune time to consider the matter as Canaâ€" dian coins will be changed soon in any case on account of the accession of a new King. The Mail and Empire replies that a great deal can be said for the proposal. Getting down to particulars The Mail and Empire criticizes the present fiveâ€"cent piece as a poor specimen of minting. If samples of the various Canadian coins were distributed by the Government, there could be a general discusâ€" sion of the malter. As it â€"is, it seems that the several governments have called in practically the whole coinage under the name of taxes. of the:liquor laws three times within a few weeks and was actually given the license within a few days of the third conviction? It is difficult, in* deed, to convince people that there is no politics in liquor and no liquor in politics when a majority of those who were first given beer licenses in Timâ€" mins had at one time or another been convicted of breaches of the liquor laws of the country, and that the permits were granted over the protests of the local association of the party in power. Had the local recommendations been followed there is every reason to believe that conditions would have been much better, because the good of the town and its people would have been the chief consideration, not the .most undesirable form of politics. The situation in Timmins is no doubt duplicated all:over the province. Certainly the booze business is still in politics. If they have ever been divorced in this province, one or the other is now a common law wife. 2 GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER The need of the North in the matter of radio is government radio relay station to make radio ill her husband, have both been saved from igman.

On Monday the Kiwanis feaâ€" tured Education Week at their regular meeting, thoughtful and inspiring address on education by Mr. Transome, principal of Central School, Timâ€" mins, being one of the big events of the meeting.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIQ ) _ They visit the schools once a month, teach the children Bible verses and alâ€" ways leave a Bible wherever they go. Great advancements have been made towarq teaching these people cleanliâ€" ness and good morals. â€" Particularly interesting is the fact that a special group of young women has been organized by the association to carry on the work among the woâ€" men and children of pioneer settleâ€" ments throughout Canada. These woâ€" _men are trained to officiate at births and deaths, and in most places they conduct funerals angq even prepare the bodies for burial and make the coffins themselves, for there are no underâ€" takers in these remote districts. They establish Sunday schools and carry on religious services among the children in the schools, and in the homes. "The people love to go to these serâ€" vices and see what the ‘tenderfoots‘ from the outside world of the South have to tell them, and often many sincere converts give their lives to God after the services are over," said Mr. Proudf{oot.

His talk at Sudbury was illus trated by lantern slides, and The Sud bury Star gave an extended account 0o the address. Squalor in Kentucky From here Mr. Proudfoot carried his listeners to the Kentucky mountains, where the land is so rocky that it is difficult even to grow a little grain. Hore the families have anywhere from 15 to 21 childten and live in desolate homes in utter poverty. One of Mr. Proudfoot‘s lantern slides showed a typical home in the mountains with no windows and no chimney. The peoâ€" ple, however, are very friendly and hosâ€" pitable and the women especially welâ€" come their visits gladly. The Shantymen‘s Christian Associaâ€" tion was foundeg 28 years ago by the late Wim. Henderson, of Hespsler, Ont., with the object of visiting the lumber camps of Northern Ontario to bring to those remote and isolated districts the Gospel of God, Mr. Proudfoot said. From this small ‘beginning the work soon spread to other parts of Canada and also to the Uniteqd States, until at the present time it reaches from Mooâ€" sonee to Florida and from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts. Entiraqly on Faith "Our missionaries," said Mr. Proudâ€" foot, ‘"go out entirely on a faith basis supported wholly by freewill offerings. The work is undenominational, and these servants of God only visit the places where no other religious work is carried on. The missionaries try to found Sunday schools for the children and go to the schools, where they teach the chidlren Bible verses and give them prizes for the work they do, as well as hold services in the homes and camps." He pictured for his hearers the abâ€" ject poverty found in the lumbering camps along the British Columbia seaâ€" coast, where mo other missionaries go, and where the association missionaries have to travel entirely by boat, often under extreme hardships. The people live in rude houses made of driftwood, and shingled with tin hammered out of old tin cans.
