In his address at the banquet in his honour at the Empire hotel on Monday evening, Hon. Earl Rowe, leader of the Conservative party in the Proâ€" ‘vince of Ontario, stressed the need for coâ€"operaâ€" tion of North and South in the development of the resources of the province. No one can find fault with this idea, nor with its emphasis in an address o the people of the North. It should, however, be equally stressed in the South. It is to be hoped that Hon. Mr. Rowe features this idea in many or all of his addresses in the South. Coâ€"operation by Next week letters will be issued by the hospital board asking contributions to the fund for the building of the new nurses‘ residence. The Advance believes that the response will be generous and that the hospital work will thus be given the sinâ€" cere support of the whole community. The mines have already allowed it to be known that their contribution to the fund will be liberal in this case, as it has been in every case in the past. The.public have their chance to show the appreciation that should be felt for the many years of noble service given by the Sisters of Charity of Providence and the St. Mary‘s hospital. As noted before proper accommodation for the nurses is essential. Indeed, the government insists upon this. So a nurses‘ residence is absolutely necessary. Were there nothing else to be said in the matter than the need for proper accommodation for the nurses, the proposed nurses‘ residence would be fully justified, and the public would be fully warranted in giving their fullest support. But there is more to be said. The hospital itself needs further accommodation. At present the acâ€" commodation is more than taxed to capacity. The nurses‘ residence will serve the double purpose of providing accommodation for the nurses and alâ€" lowing the addition of 30 more beds to the hosâ€" pital. The space now taken up by the inadequate quarters for the nurses will make way for the inâ€" stallation of 30 more beds. This will meet the preâ€" isent needs in effective and economical way. There should be very general and very generous response to the call for assistance from the general public in the matter of funds to build a nurses‘ residence for St. Mary‘s hospital. Since August 15, 1912, the Sisters of Charity of Providence have proâ€" vided hospital accommodation for the people of the town and district. From the small beginnings when the hospital was only a modest oneâ€"storey structure on the corner of Fifth avenue and Spruce ‘street to the present large and> wellâ€"equipped threeâ€"storey building (admittedly one of the best hospitals in the province) the Sisters of Providence have provided an increasing service to meet the increasing needs of this community. Without apâ€" ‘peal to the general public, and only with the diâ€" rect support of the mines and the miners, the pubâ€" ‘lic have been given a service that would be reâ€" markable anywhere, but it is doubly so in a new country like this. At the present moment it is worth some thought on the excellence of the serâ€" vice at the hospital and the notable equipment. The Xâ€"ray department and staff is an outstandâ€" ing feature and the value of this to the community cannot be exaggerated. If the people of Timmins do not appreciaite the benefit of the hospital to the community, a little study . of the question should bring full realization of what St. Mary‘s hospital has meant to the advantage of all here. The Sisters have done their part and more, the nurses, the other staff, the doctors, the mines, the employees, all have contributed their share to make St. Mary‘s hospital a genuine blessing to the town and district. Now, for the first time, the pubâ€" lic in general is asked to give material evidence of its interest and support. A campaign is under way to raise funds to build a nurses‘ residence. The present accommodation for the nurses is utterly inadequate. How inadequate that accommodation is may be realized from the fact that there is only one bathroom for all the nurses employed and other lines show the same inadequate accommodaâ€" tion. The total staff of the hospital, it may be noted, is 87. There are 30 nurses in training, 20 Sisters, three orderlies, seven to ten trained nurses, as well as an engineer, maids and other employees. It is evident that the hospital is an industry of conâ€" siderable importance to the town in other ways than as a vital method of service to the sick and. the injured. A recent report by the auditor for the; hospital shows that in the years included from the ! beginning of 1928 to the end of 1935 a total of $571,â€" I 822 was expended in conducting the hospital, the greater part of this amount being spent in the: town. The town accordingly has a special mtelest‘ in the hospital in more ways than one. Of course‘ it is true that the benefit of the hospital in the matter of the care of the sick and injured is the chief consideration, yet at the same time it is welli not to forget the other matters. i OFFICE %6â€"~â€"â€" PHONES â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO.

He gave assurance of efficiency in every department and the council‘s time has apparently been spent in fighting him away from the disorganization of every part of the public service, Hon. Mr. Hepburn lost standing when he mixed up with "Green Pastures," but he fared still worse on Monday night when "Still Waters‘" overflowed him. A. V. Waters, formerly member of the Legislaâ€" ture for North Cochrane, has had many brilliant shafts of wit to his credit in past political contests. At the meeting here on Monday evening in the interests of Hon. Earl Rowe, he added another. Mr. Waters was speaking of the evil policy of the Hepâ€" burn government in the matter of the repudiation of contracts. He could see no difference between the cancellation of such contracts and the taking away of mining claims or deeds to land. "I hope," he said, "that Mr. Hepburn will write across each Ontario bond he issues not the pious words ‘In God we trust,‘ but the words ‘I hope that my redeemer liveth‘." It used to be a common thing for miners to say when buying goods at a store:â€""I‘ll pay you next pay day!‘" Now, the temptation is to say:â€""I‘ll pay you next tag day!" toâ€"day that mining has played a material part in carrying Canada through the evil days of depresâ€" sion and that it is the chief hope of the Dominion for the days to come. Coâ€"operation to make it so is essential, as Hon. Mr. Rowe suggests. But if minâ€" ing in Canada is to flourish, one of its chief centres, the North, cannot be neglected. In a word, the answer to Hon. Mr. Rowe‘s plea for coâ€"operation is that the North is ready, anxious, to do its part. But there isn‘t such a thing as oneâ€"sided coâ€"operation, and if the South falls down, the North some way Or another will carry on. As an Irishman remarked the other day: "No man in the North is content to be a milch cow." AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER| It is encouraging to many to know that the only promise made by Hon. Mr. Rowe on his visit to the North was to the effect that if and when he comes into power in Ontario he will see to it that the Ferguson highway is made into a real highway and maintained as such. This is only a promise, howâ€" ever, and the North has been surfeited with proâ€" mises. It is true that in the last couple of years even promises have been withheld on occasion. Sometimes it has seemed as if the powers that be have considerd it scarcely worth while to go even as far as promises. In such a case there can be little hope for continued coâ€"operation. Unless the South does its part there can be no coâ€"operation. The North is trying to do its part from day to day. Thé people of the North, irrespective of party, have ‘visions of the great things that may beâ€"the deâ€" velopment of riches in the North that will not only mean greatness for the North but for Ontario, all Canada. The indifference of the South has been all the more irksome because of this very fact. The North has not been thinking altogether of itself. Always in the mind of the average man of the North has been the thought that the full developâ€" ment of the North would mean notable things for Ontario, for Canada. The spirit of coâ€"operation is in the North. If it dies, the blame will lie not upon the North. North and South appear to be agreed A whole nnd in the outstandmg atabmty and enâ€" terprise of the South. A large part of the people of the North came here from Southern Ontario, so it is only natural that Northerners should be friendly to the South, interested in the South. But there is danger of the decrease of such feelings if the inâ€" terest and friendship appear to be all on the one side. Recently there has been a shameful neglect of the North and its interests. Hon. Mr. Rowe adâ€" mitted quite frankly that the lack of attention to the lone highway of the North was neither good politics nor good sense. Further, he punctured the alibi about balancing the budget by referring to the highways built in the last year or two in Southern Ontar:o. Hon. Mr. Rowe said that he reâ€" gretted to find secession talk in Northwestern Onâ€" tario and talk of a boycott in this part of the North. It is doubtful, however, if he fully gauged the strength of this feeling of resentment in the North. Here, on the ground, The Advance believes that it would take little, indeed, to make the proâ€" posed boycott effective and widespread. Just a little leadership, a little direction would do the trick. That no one has given this leadership or direction in the matter indicates the spirit of friendliness that has prevailed, despite discourageâ€" ments, despite the apparent indifference and lack of interest in the South so far as the North is conâ€" cerned. If the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade sees fit to endorse the New Liskeard resoâ€" iution in regard to the boycott, the spark will be; applied that will create a fire that will do serious~ damage to Ontario as a whole.

In Germany a chocolate bar has lateâ€" ly been produced of coal tar derivatives, which can only be regarded as ‘one more evidence that the Reich is girded for war. In fact, a world survey of the chocolate bar outyut, and stores laid by in military caches, would, it is thought, give the closest possible ling on what nations are best prepared for the struggle which so many observers profess t‘ see ahead. Chevrier, Mary Mitchell, Lloyd Counâ€" tryman. In this regard some have fong ponâ€" dered the connection between the chocclate bar and military life. That the connection is real cannot be doubtâ€" ed by anyone who remarked the extraâ€" ordinary lengths to which the soldiery wou.d g> to obtain this confection in France. Even the French brands were not scorned, though they seemed to be aclilterated with an inferior quality of gravel and the flavour was only vaguely that of chocolate. Indeed, they were greatly esteemed when Canadian types were unavailable. ' (From Sudbury Star) The obDpservation of Sudbury‘s city treasurer that althqugh he has been in office for several years he has not yet received a single contribution t» the conscience fund, brings to mind inâ€" stances where such donations have been made in other lines. Recently the Unitâ€" ed States treasury became richer by $2 by the contribution of an tunidentified veteran who helped himself to some chocolate bars from a truck in France during the war. The p»:blic school at Moosonee was gaily decorated with the usual Halâ€" lowe‘en pumpkins, black cats ‘and witches as background for a Hallowe‘en party enjoyed alike by children and adults last Priday evening. Young and old turned out in costume and the judges, Louis Martineau, J.P., postâ€" master of Moosonee, R. R. Cockburn, manager of the Hudson Bay Voyageur club and Nap. Servais, manager of James Bay Inn, were hard put to pick the winners. Mrs. Omer Lauzon, Alex Louttit and little Miss Helena Hunter were chosen as the three best. The balance of the evening was spent in a short programme and games under the direction of P. J. Soper, Wm. Johnston, and Louis Constante. Delicious refreshâ€" ments were served under the direction of Mrs. Louttit and Mrs. G. S. Cotter. Try and picture the life this woman led for twenty yearsâ€"changing her shoes several times a day in a vain enâ€" deavor to attain some relief from the rheumatic pains that were constantly troubling her.

His brilliant articles in the magazine "Gold" were a powerful force in making the North better known and more truly appreciated. He had the pioneering spirit and the vision that made him an enthusiasâ€" tic advocate for the North. He took an able and a leading part in making the North known and unâ€" derstood in the South. It is a service that should not soon be forgotten. He took a heart interest in the North and he had the happy faculty of mstm- ing some of his own vision and insight into the minds of those who read his talented articles. t One could go on enumerating similar cases but space does not permit.

It hit him hard and what personal belongings he had soon were disposed of for the purchase of f0)d, etec. He happened to be directed to Austin Neame, president of the Legion here, and the chief distributor of Legion relief money in Timmins. He seemed willing and very manlyâ€"the type one would wish to meet everywhere. He had seâ€" jred a job at a mine, and could not take it because of lack of equipment. This was soon remedied and a complete miner‘s outfit purchased. His very first pay, saw a cheque for half the amcunt returned, his second cheque the balance and the third his membership fees and a donation. He is at present a good member of the branch and ready at all times to assist in its work.

Next Week In Monday‘s isdgue of The Advance an article dealt with the working of the Legion relief fund, which has expended $12,000 on relief among in the district. The article showed that much good has been done. There have been many bright spots in the work, and some of these are worthy of menâ€" tion : Only four more days remain before the citizens of the town and district will be asked to "Buy a Poppy." The officers of the Timmins branch of the Canadian Legion are working hard to have one of the best day‘s sales the branch has ever had. During the past few days the ladies of the Auxiliary have been canvassing the town for the sale of Vetcraft wreaths. It is gratifying to learn that once again most of the merâ€" chants have responded in their usual manner. The local organizations are also following the precedent set years ago of purchasing Vetcraft wreaths for placing on the cenotaph. The ladies canvassing deserve full credit for their work this year especially on account of the very unsettled weather during the days they were ‘jut on the job.
