Also they may be misleading.i For instance, this $500,000 announcement may| strike some people as something new. It isn‘t. It is the same old announcement that has been made several times. Once it was $300,000 or a little more. ; Another time, it was $400,000. Another time it was | a possible $750,000. Now it is $500,000. In the meanâ€"| time the roads have been going from bad to worse.| First, it was announced as what should be done! ‘ Then as what might be done! Then as what would be done! Then because tenders were to be called! Again, that tenders had been called! Once more,| that tenders had been awarded! Now, that the| roads will be built. It is sincerely to be hoped that; no industrious person in the South has been! watching the various announcements carefully,| and totalling them all up! $750,000! $500,000! l $400,000! $375,000! $450,000! $575,000! $425,000!| $500,000! $375,000! $500,000! A grand total of $4,850,000 for mining roads! Wonderful governâ€" ment! And then if what the Dominion government and the Ontario government have agreed at variâ€" ous times to contribute as their respective shares’ is added, the teetotal grand total runs into the] tens of millions. The sad part of it is that if all that has actually been spent on the roads in the North in the last two years is added to the above figures the totals remain practically unchanged. At the. same time there are no doubt people in the South who may actually believe that all these various| sums have been spent, and wonder why the North | is threatening secession and boycott and other' harsh measures! If you were to ask them where all the millions came from or went to, they would no doubt explain that they had seen all the money in the newspapers, or heard it over the radio. Speakâ€" ing of the radio, the teetotal grand total will have to be doubled again! Tens of millions for the roads! l in the North all in a few months! No, gentle people of the South! Not even a decent amount of thouâ€" sands to keep a half decent highway from absurd and wasteful deterioration! Even the $500,000 promise is the same old half million over and over' again. | Last week with another flare of headlines the daily newspapers announced that it had been deâ€" cided to spend $500,000 on roads for the mining areas of this North. It may be that some people in the South may wonder why the announcement was not hailed with glorious joy in the North. There are many reasons for this. In the first place it is only an announcement. There have been dozâ€" ens of such announcements. Possibly some folks may imagine that the North should be content just with announcements. But the North is not that way. Despite all the announcements the lone highway of the North continues a menace to traâ€" vellersâ€"bumpy, outrageous. Simple announceâ€" ments do not make roads passable., The present snow and cold may not continue in the North, but it is a fair warning. There may be, likely will be, quite a bit of good weather here this year, but the time is past for 1936 for the best, the most economical road repair work. If it takes as long to have actual work begun and actual expenâ€" ditures started as it did to secure even promises, there will be a lot more announcements before the North knows anything about decent roads. The Ottawa Journal and a certain or uncertain Toronto newspaper are having a battle these days over shirtsâ€"night shirts. The Toronto newspaper suggests that there is a night shirt club in Ottawa â€"â€"that of Canada has shed its pyjamas and become night shirt consciousâ€"and that only the repeal of Section 98 of the Criminal Code is preventing Ottawa from stripping the pyjamasi from every mother‘s son and forcing the wearingi by ail of the night shirt as the badge of slavery to| the thirteen men (not counting William Randolph] Hearst) who are supposed to own Canada. Thei battle seems to raise much fury, as it usually does when there‘s a pacifist on one side. The Ottawa; Journal denies all chargesâ€"would have the world| believe that Ottawa people have not reverted to night shirts, but that they wear both night and pyjamas with equal tolerance and perhaps at the same time, if that is the proper thing to do. In modern pyjamas the Ottawa paper stands coolly| and argumentatively, but the Toronto newspaper! seems to fairly tear its night shirt in its determinaâ€" tion to prove itself right. There are no night shirt? parades in Ottawa, the Journal says. This is une thing it is easy to believe. Ottawa has easy toler-i ance for any night shirt parades in Toronto, but if they ever attempt to march to Ottawa, The Journal will mighty soon demand that they be stopped at Regina. So the battle rages: And it ist not all nonsense! There is a moral in it all. Someâ€" thing ought to be done about this shirt business. It may be that shirts are the cause of the depresâ€" sion and the retarding of recovery. At any rate it is an established fact that shirts are the cause of war. It was night shirts that caused the present | | PA POUR Timmins, Ont., Thurs., October 15th, 1936 Cbe Vorrupins Aduvance Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: Uniteqg Statesâ€"83.00 Per Yea:t zz(nR%\ EL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER a request that in exchange he be given the desired 13â€"cent stamp, the extra two cents being forwardâ€" ed to provide the return postage on the ‘13â€"cent stamp. His fifteen cents in stamps was promptly returned to him by the department with a form letter which said that the postal authorities never accepted stamps in payment for stamps and that if he wanted a 13â€"cent stamp he would have to secure a postal note for that amount and send same to the department. The Timmins gentleman was of the persistent stamp ard so he paid his little two cents for the postal note and forwarded the same to Ottawa. Promptly the stamp' people at Ottawa acted when they received the postal note. It is not known whether the Ottawa post office required the department to accept stamps for the note as sometimes happens in other offices with such small amounts. In any event it is cerâ€" tain that the post office department was not paid in gold, as everyone knows that Canada is off the gold standard. The postal department, however, forwarded that 13â€"cent stamp. Now the collector has acquired a new hobby. He is spending his time trying to figure out how much the stamp cost him in time and money and effort, and also how much it cost the department. In his own case there were three cents for the first letter and fifteen cents for the stamps that were not as good as the one stamp he desired. Then there were the three cents for the second letter and the two cents for the posâ€" tal note, and the thirteen cents for the stamp that could not be bought with stamps. He figures the total cost to him in cash was 33 cents, while he has fifteen cents in stamps which he feels he cannot exchange for other stamps. At the same time, as he is a scrupulously honest fellow, he feels he canâ€" not dispose of these stamps to anyone else without warning the recipient that these particular stamps are not exchangeable for other stamps or cash. This leads wouldâ€"be buyers to feel that there may be something wrong with this particular bunch of stamps which look like fifteen cents but actually are not worth thirteen cents, in stamps. In any event he is worried about the matter. The advice The Advance gave him was to keep the fifteen cents in stamps until he needed some other stamps from Ottawa and then he could use these particuâ€" lar stamps to pay the postage on the letters he sends to Ottawa to get more stamps, or something like that. Relieved of the worry of what the 13â€" cent stamp caused him, he continues to worry about the cost to the government. He figures the first letter saying that the stamps are not taken for stamps cost two cents for the postage, half a cent for the letter, and a cent and a half for the labour. This is not allowing anything for the diâ€" vulging of the rule that stamps cannot be exâ€" changed for stamps in a postal department office. Then the second letter was worth the same amount. not to mention the tissue paper in which the desired stamp was wrapped. In all, he figures that it cost the government eight cents to supply him with that 13â€"¢ent stamp. And so he worries. Well, samebody should worry! The only consolaâ€" tion The Advance can give in this particular is to venture the suggestion that it has something to do with balancing the budget. Pacifists in Canada may be responsible for dragging this country into war in Europe. The present tension in Europe is due chiefly to the Spanish civil war. Russia threatens to break away from the neutral nations, because the Soviet auâ€" thorities claim that certain other nations have been assisting the Spanish rebels. If the Fascist nations, pretending neutrality, are going to help the rebels, then Russia says she will assist the side A Timmins gentleman who collects stamps as a hobby recently found that he needed a 13â€"cent stamp to complete his collection of Canadian postal stamps. Accordingly he sent 15 cents in stamps to the postal department at Ottawa with "Shirtingly!" adds the intelligent compositor who has just returned from the beer parlour. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS ONTARIO She Dreaded ‘ Going Upstairs Premier Hepburn warned the Conâ€" servative Opposition of the Legislature last week at Toronto that any move on its part to bring the present adminisâ€" tration‘s pulpwood export policy under scrutiny of the public accounts comâ€" mittée next session will be countered with a wideâ€"open inquiry into timber administration of previous "Tory govâ€" ernments," as far back as the Latchâ€" fordâ€"Riddell report of nearly 20 years ago. * One of the many troubles that affiict rheumatic sufferers is the difficulty of getting up and down stairs. Such was the case with this woman, before she started taking Kroschen, but now she finds it n> trouble. Read what she says: "I have been taking Kruschen now for over 12 months, a halfâ€"teaspoonful in hot water first thing in the morning, and I feel a new woman. I had very painful rheumatism in my knees and back and also my head was getting very bad. I used to dread walking upstairs now I am very thankful to say it is no trouble at all and I scarcely have any pains. I feel better in health than 1 have dore for years. (Mrs.) G.M.

Faulkner, Ontario Minister of Health, is quoted as severely scoring the feature that he cleverly terms "bargain hunting for teachers." Thoughtful people have noted with keen regret the tendency so noticeable recently to engage school teachers at prices that are a disgrace to the counâ€" try. Some of the salaries offered teachers are so low that no possible excuse can be found for them. Poverty is not an excuse. The truth is that if the schools are so poor that they cannot pay half adeâ€" cent salaries, and if the government is so povertyâ€" Hon. Earl Rowe Not Worrted at Threat Premier Says if Enquiry inâ€" to Timber Matters Starts it will be Too Bad for the Tories. Reply to Rowe. Woman‘s Fear of Rheumatic Pains she favours. That is fair enough surely. If one naâ€" tion is to favour one side or the other, it is an inâ€" vitation to other nations to get on their own side. If neutrality is to be maintained, it must be kept by all. Yet Canadian pacifists are openly planning to assist the Spanish government by sending them carloads of needed goods. Do they think that Italy and Germany will sit idly by and let the carloads reach the communists? It is an open invitation to a general war. If Hon. Mackenzie King is honest in his recent declarations about isolation and war he will stop the pacifists in their intended assistance, at least long enough to find out whether Canaâ€" dians are interested enough in one side or the other of the Spanish omelet to risk the causing of a general war in Europe.

In another case, limits had been sold for $5,000,000, and the province‘s proâ€" ceeds had amounted to $25,000. In anâ€" other ‘case involving a huge purchase price all the province had got out of the transaction was a promise to build a mill which had still to be built.

The paragraph will be recognized as having considerable bitter truth in regard to United States elections, but Canadians will also recognize that it carries a certain amount of truth in this country and its elections. Part of the present troubles of demoâ€" cracy are due to the fact that men who should have been laughed at were elected.
