TIMMINS, ONXTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontario« Quebo: Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"PHONESâ€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: Canadaâ€"$2.00 Per Year Never in the history of Timmins has there been so much scandalâ€"mongering as at the presen! timeâ€"so much whispering of stories, and all the stories unfortunately discreditable. The very fact that Timmins has been largely free of such stuff until recent years makes the trick the more unâ€" fortunately successful. The idea is, for example, to spread the whisper that Soâ€"andâ€"So murdered a man in Suchâ€"aâ€"Place. At first the story is naturâ€" ally discredited, but then it is proven that Soâ€"andâ€" So was in Suchâ€"aâ€"Place on such a date, and that is taken as proof eventually that wholesale murder was committed. There is only one way for the whispering campaign to be offset, and that is for the public generally to deal with it. There should be demand for the whispcrer to speak aloud and to back up what he says. The man with the alâ€" leged scandal should be forced into the police courtâ€"to prove his charge, if it is true, and to face the consequences if it is only slander, as i1 so often is in reality. In the past few weeks there have been many sufferers in town from the whispering slanderer with his innuendoes and his vicious imagination. Unfortunately for the town, none have suffered more in this regard than the police force. The fact that an enquiry was being held by the mayor and council into police matters gave every man with a grudge or an imaginary grievance, every man who had been checkedâ€"up or convicted by the police, and even the man who feared he might come unâ€" der police notice for due cause, the chance to disâ€" count his own shortcomings by defaming the police. Every advantage was taken of the opporâ€" police. EKvery advanlage was taKken 0 UNne opporâ€" tunity. According to the stories peddled the police were a bad lot. As a matter of fact, law and order is better observed in town than ever before in its history. Blindpig and disorderly house rings have been broken up and driven from town. The town has been remarkably free from burglaries, holdâ€" ups, assaults, and none of the few of these crimes that have been committed have been allowed to go unsolved. Thanks to the good work of the police the town is safe; there is service and protection for all. In addition it may be said with truth that few towns have had a police force where the averâ€" age of moral character and general standing is as high as on the Timmins police force. All this, however, has not saved the force from all sorts of calumny and illâ€"repute. It is a matter for much regret, but regretting is not enough. Steps should be taken to assure protection from the recurrence of such deplorable slander. Judging from the reports on street last week the whole police force was to be dismissed because of various serious charges. The result of the long deliberations of the council, however, was that only one man lost his place, with the reason given as "inefficiency." Those who know the work of the dismissed official will feel that the reason given is scarcely in accordance with the facts as they appear. Since his acceptance of a place on the force two years ago Deputy Chief Salley has demonstrated his efficiency in striking way, just as he did in the early days of the camp when his name was a synonym for efficiency in police work. Perâ€" haps, he was too efficient for this day and made powerful enemies in the cleanâ€"up of the town. Until the full facts in the case are made public.l discussion may seem out of place, but some facts should be kept in mind. First, there is the effiâ€" ciency and high character of the police as shown in their work and daily living. Neéxt, there must be considered the fact that while mayor and coun-; cil must keep check and control on the police, this : icheck and control can not go to the length that;l every act and attitude must meet the desires of those in temporary office. | Timmins, Ont., Mond: "The "trouble" in police circles has been encourâ€" aging to those who wish to evade the law and profit by lawâ€"breaking, but to the average decent citizen it is far otherwise. ‘The country is safe! Mr. W. G. McPhee, memâ€" ber for Yorkton, Saskatchewan, is in the House! On Thursday last he rose in his place to a question of privilege. He accused the only two ladies in the House, Miss Agnes Macphail and Mrs. Geo. Black, of lowering the dignity of parliament by asserting in a public newspaper that some of the members of the House had eyes too close together, some had crooked noses, some had ears that stick out, some had weak chins, some had too much fiesh, and some had bad carriage, and so there was not a handsome man among them. Premier King gently suggested that Mr. McPhee was out of step, and the Speaker fAatly ruled him out of order. But Mr. McPhee‘s defence of the dignity of the House still stands! Sc far as Mr. McPhee is conâ€" cerned all the members of the House have a right to be considered handsome as well as brilliant, despite close eyes, double chins, protruding ears, round tummies and flat heads.

Older countries realize from long exâ€" perience the real value of wholesome sports and recreation and so maintain the means and the love of games, athletics and contests of one kind or another. In newer lands the virtue of sports soon becomes apparent. Sports make for health of mind and body. The real sporting spirit is one to be encouraged, making as it does for progress, contentment, betterment. Sports Week accordâ€" | ingely is worthy the consideration of all. The interview made Mrs. Black appear as even more unsparing than Miss Macphail. Mrs. Black is quoted as saying she had seen only three handâ€" some men in her seventy years of life. Further she did not appear to regret it, because she had found most goodâ€"looking fellows more or less "dumb." Surely Mr. McPhee was justified in his protest. Miss Macphail names ten members as handsome, and Mrs. Black adds, in effect, that likely the ten are "dumb as they come." Since Miss Macphail‘s alleged list of alleged handsome members was published, the members of the House have been ragging each other because they were on the list or because they were not. "Hello, Handsome!" has become the usual greeting among the members at Ottawa, according to desâ€" patches. The members have had a lot of fun out of the affair, even Mr. McPhee‘s protest being takâ€" ing in a spirit of humour. As for the people in general, in conning Miss Macphail‘s list they may forget that the sales tax is increased to eight per cent. Or will they? Between envy and Jealousy and remorse aroused by the published interview members of Massey (Cons ton (Lib., To Minister of NV Miss Macphail and Mrs. Black may live to regret their speaking, if they did. But The Advance does not care what happens to either of them, for they showed the most outrageous poor taste and disâ€" crimination as they failed to list the member for Cochrane in either of their lists. Evidently these two lady members do not believe in the old adage: "Handsome is as handsome does!" «i AP P P P ALP PAAA PP BP B | CGRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER § stt e s uts n t P P lt ltA AL: ceAE NP B se stt t . t tss en e C The importation into Canada of waste material to be used in the manufacture of new mattresses has been restricted under the new regulation as a health measure. Now, if some of the waste ideas and soiled opinions imported into Canada were banned, what a benefit it would prove to the moral and the mental health! Miss Macphail, M.P., and Mrs. Geo. Black, M.P., are accused of listing the handsome and distinguâ€" ishedâ€"looking members of the present Dominion parliament. Now, if Thomas L. Chyrch, MP.: would name the two most beautiful and distinguâ€" ishedâ€"looking lady members of parliament, the work of the Dominion legislators might proceed. Among the weeks that should be celebrated, at least in spirit, is "Sports Week," the week of May to 30th. "It Pays to Play" is the slogan of Sports Week, and nowhere should the truth of this slogan be more apparent than in the North. In the early days of this country the people had to make their own amusements, their own sports, and conditions and cireumstances made sports and amusements very necessary and desirable. and amusement Sport in its best country.
