TIMMINS, ONTARIO »a Â¥ B Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Assocliation ; o-u Quebos Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekliy Group OFFICE 26â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"PHONESâ€"â€"â€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Tharsday by: GEO LAKE, Owner and Prblisher Subscription Rates: Canadaâ€"â€"§$2.00 Per Year Some weeks ago The Advance called special, attention to the suggestion made by a coroner‘s, jury enquiring into the deaths of children resultâ€"| ing from fire that destroyed the home of a settler near Kapuskasing. As Coroner E. R. Tucker, of| Cochrane, pointed out in reviewing the Kapuskasâ€"| ing case. similar tragedies are all too common in the North Land. Every year there are Cases where settlers in isolated areas lose their homes by flre.l and often deaths result in these fires because of| the construction of the houses and the conditions| under which the settlers live. Coroner Tucker and| his jury, however, were not content to simply call! attention to the mutter. A specific plan for lessenâ€"| ing the danger was proposed. Briefly, this plan was to the effect that the fire rangers, who now 1n;i spect the lands of settlers to guard against fire} danger, should have their authority extended to the | inspection also of the homes of of the fires that occur at the homes of settlers are due to the dangerous condition of stove pipes, and the iinproper construction of chimneys. Often the pipes run through partitions or near partitions without the pipes being protected in any way, and fire is inevitable if the pipes become overheated.] Simple changes that would not cost anything of particular moment would greatly decrease the danger of fire in settlers‘ homes. The fire rangers, being on friendly terms with most of the settlers. and usually being soundâ€"thinking practical fellows with earnest desire to help and protect the settlers, would soon be able to make very decided change in the risk of fire in settlers‘ homes. There is a serious danger to settlers and their families from fires in their houses under present conditions. There have been scores of deaths to prove this. All the newspapers of the North have recognized this fact and have advocated at least a trial of the practical and economical plan suggested by the coroner‘s jury at Kapuskasing. There has been no argument to the contrary, but on the other hand there has been nothing done. The question bids fair to be forgotten again. Last week there was sad reminder that a question like this can not be forgotten. Two small children, Lawrence Jemus, six years old, and Lucien Jemus, three years old,. were burned to death in theâ€"log cabin of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Desire Jemus, of Bigwood, in the Sudbuy area. Mr. and Mrs. Jemus and Julien Dupuis, their hired man, are in St. Joseph‘s hospital at Sudbury terribly burned as a result of their gallant efforts to rescue the children from the burning home. Four other children were saved from the burning building, but two lives were lost and all the other lives in the house endangered by the fire. Surely this tragedy is a call not to forget or to pass byâ€"the . suggestmn made by the jury at Kapuskasing. is to be exâ€" pected, of course, that tragedy will come occasionâ€" ally to the settlers in isolated areas. With no efâ€" fective means for fighting fire, when the home takes fire there is sure to be the danger of tragedy. But the coroner‘s jury at Kapuskasing pointed out that a few minor changes in most cases would reâ€" duce the danger of fire in the settlers‘ home to the minimum. All acquainted with settlers‘ homes know this is a fact, just as they know the many unâ€" necessary fire risks there are at present in these little cabins. Is it not a public duty to do all posâ€" isible to reduce the fire danger to settlers? : The plan of having the fire rangers inspect the homes of settlers for needless fire risks and suggest sqfeâ€" guards should be adopted by the government withâ€" out delay.

And he {surely needs to be for the big job he has underâ€" taken. In the opinion of The Advance the main | feature of his work is to battle to bring back liberty, selfâ€"government, to the people of Ontario. The nearest approach toâ€"day to selfâ€"government is in regard to municipal matters. Only indirectly and at long distance as it were has the average citizen any influence in provincial or Dominion affairs. | He knows municipal matters, however, and in that | sphere, under British practice, he can make himâ€" self felt. The inroads of provincial authority on |municipa1 government in recent years has been alarming, and there is toâ€"day serious danger of | the loss of this form of selfâ€"government. To return ithe rights of the municipalty, and so to restore selfâ€"government to the citizen should be the chief ' aim and effort and battle of the new leader. HMHepburn that somebody should start a libel suit Oh yes, the new leader has a lot to live down! »Notwithstanding the things that may be said against Hon. Earl Rowe, the new leader of the GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER lb P S P P ie uP BPA x: e t : Last week David Meisner was in town with the ’Lonklm Sshows. He told The Advance it was his \ first visit to the North, despite the fact that other newspapers had him here when he was being |sought for questioning in the Labatt kidnapping \case. About the same time he gave himself up to \ the police at Detroit. He served eighteen months !of a 15â€"yearâ€"term in Kingston for alleged comâ€" | plicity in the kidnapping, a second trial, however, iclearing‘ him of connection with the case. Meisâ€" lner was positively identified by several witnesses There is general thankfulness for the oiling of the streets during the past day or two. It is noted that streets running to the northern outskirts of the town have been especially well looked after. Oliva Dionne, father of the quintuplets made a special trip by car to North Bay last week to aeny reports to the effect that he and Mrs. Dionne had been invited to the birthday party of the quintuâ€" plets. Why should Mr. and Mrs. Dionne be invited to the birthday party of the quintuplets? . They are no particular friends of Hon. David Croll. They are just the parents of the quintuplets, and that doesn‘t seem to give them many rights! as one of the kidnappers of John Labatt, wealthy London brewer. At the second trial, some, but not lall, of these witnesses withdrew their identificaâ€" tion. Among those saying they had made a misâ€" take at the first trial was Labatt himself. Those | who doubt cireumstantial evidence should ponder ! the Meisner case. He was convicted on direct eviâ€" l dence, and acquitted largely on circumstantial evidence. Harry O‘Donnell was hanged on circumâ€" | stantial evidence, and made confession of the | crime. Lawyers will agree that circumstantial eviâ€" dence is the best evidence, except when it is against their client. Canadians are horrified over the crimes imputed to the Black Legion in Michigan and the power apparently secured by that gang. It is well to note, however, that such organizations as the Black Legion are the inevitable result of political interâ€" ference with the enforcement of the law. The easiest way to avoid gangs like the Black Legion is to follow the British wayâ€"leave an efficient police force free to enforce the law without fear or favour. In an article in The North Bay Nugget last week the statement is made that "Tom McDonald has been in municipal office in Matheson for three score years." That would make the genial Tom at least 81 years of age. If that is the case, al1l The Advance can say is that there isn‘t another 81â€" yearâ€"old youngster alive toâ€"day who could stand up against the Matheson lad in any kind of a battle. "It is the people‘s business! The people are entitled to know!" How often was this heard last year? But it doesn‘t apply to Townâ€"Hallâ€"School cocktails. or to work done in the northern part of the town. Beware of cocktails! Particularly of the Cenâ€" tralâ€"Schoolâ€"Townâ€"Hall variety! According to the deposition of a "special inâ€" vestigator" the widow of Ambrose Small signed a confession before him and before other witnesses in 1928 implicating the widow, now dead, in the murder of her husband. This confession according| to the evidence of the "special investigator" was, kept from the attention of the authorities forl eight years. Even those alleging that they had signed the document as witnesses add that they| were told to keep silent on the matter. Apart altoâ€" gether from the validity or otherwise of the conâ€"| fession it would appear to be in order for the authâ€" orities to conduct an enquiry into the methods of some "special investigators." | I There was only one Conservative from Timmins at the provincial Conservative convention at Toâ€" ronto last week.
