Elsewhere in this issue will be found dn extended report of the proceedings of the executive council of the Settlers‘ Association of South Cochrane. It will be noted that the Settlers‘ Association conâ€" tinues its agitation for a landâ€"clearing bonus as a means of getting the settUers away from. the pernicious effects of the present relief system and giving them an opportunity to make good on their hnomesteads. The question is of vital importance to the whole North, indeed to all Ontario.

United Pe: March 4th, 1937 J â€" Expenditures made by the guardians of the Dionne quintuplets on behalf of the famous five thildren are to be reviewed by a Surrogate Court Judge before Hon. D. Croll‘s place as guardian is taken by the new appointee, Percy Wilson. This survey of the Dionne accounts will be very favourâ€" ably received by the general public, provided the enquiry is allowed full scope. Little has been said publicly in regard to this feature of the guardianâ€" ship, but there nas been considerable discussion in private or semiâ€"private way. It needs to be reâ€" membered that the guardians of the Dionne quinâ€" tuplets have been handling "big money." and the general public have a right to know both where the money came from and what disposition A Toronto automobile driver, who admitted that he had been drinking, was proven to have driven across Davenport road against a red light, struck a bicyclist, and then hit another motor car. He was sentenced to 3 days in. Jail and a fine of $25 or 10 days. On the same day a drunken man who enâ€" dangered his own safety by getting into automoâ€" bile traffic, though he wasn‘t hurt, had the alterâ€" native sentence of thirty days in jail. Apparently in Toronto the law looks upon it as a much more serious offence to endanger the life,of a drunken man than to menace the lives of sober cyclists and unintoxicated motorists. A man who has recently returned from Russia says that the real cause of the trouble there at present is the steady growth of fascism. ‘That may be the fact. In any event it is notorious by this time that communism inevitably breeds fasâ€" cism.â€" Both are contrary to all British and demoâ€" cratic ideals, and both should be avoided. About the easiest way to prevent fascism is to curb the growth of comri.unism. * It would be well for the general public to face the facts. The settlers simply cannot make a success without some assistance. That assistance at the present time takes the form chiefly of direct relief. The sad part of the relief system as it is working out is that those who merit the help the most hate the very thought of direct relief. It is abhorrent tosthe minds of the courageous, the resourceful, the enterprising, the industrious. Those who are content to go along on the present plan are not the type that will ever make good settlers. If the relief plan is to be continued, it will mean that the good settlers will never be able to get ahead, and the poor ones will never get off relief. In the case of the landâ€"clearing bonus, assistance will only come to the man who assists himself, and in proâ€" portion to his enterprise and industry as proven by his landâ€"clearing. After relief is paid, there is nothing, but the need for more relief. After the bonus for landâ€"clearing, there will at least be so much more land cleared. Those who appreciate the facts will realize what that means. The very fact that the Settlers‘ Association is enthusiastic for the landâ€"clearing bonus is proof surely of their desire to earn rather than to live on others. The land;clearing bonus should be given a trial, It will prove cheaper than direct relief, and will be found to accomplish something worth while.

In Hamilton in 1922 the annual diphâ€" theria death rate was 27 per 100,000 of population. During the next five years the number of diphtheria cases and deaths were slashed in twoâ€"all by the I use of toxoid. The agitation for Canadian radio reâ€" ception in these parts has been carried on for several years, so far without result. Probably 250,000 people in four electoral distriots are outside the bounds of the present Canadian sysâ€" tem and, contrary to all principles of justice and fair play, are being forced by a law which gives no consideration to their position in the cireumstances to pay for something ‘from which they reâ€" ceive no benefit. (North Bay Nugget) The proposal to declare a ban against vomen frequenting beverage rooms is i protection of male rights, if nothing {cllowing now in sending its operatives through this territory to prosecute those who have failed to take out licenses for radio receiving sets. Boston merâ€" chants who staged the famous tea party which led to the American revoâ€" lution were ‘hardly more resentful of what they regarded as urjust taxation than are about one hundred Rouyn arnd Noranda citizens who this week rezeived summonses to appear in court because they could not preduce radio licenses when called upon, and who will ow pay a total of about six hundred dollars because they acted on the prinâ€" ciple that they should ncot be called upon teo pay scemething for nothing. So far as the North is conserned any advantagzes which other parts of the Dceminion dorive jrom the iCanadian broadcasting system are denied us, and C.B.C. unquestionably is collecting fees and fines under false pretences, unless we are being taxed for the priviâ€" lege of tuning in on American stations. When radio matters are discussed in the House of Commons this session we trust cour northern members, Messrs. Little, Bradette, McDonald and Blais, will insist on some consideration being given by the rnew corporation to the needs of the North, aind that if we have to pay licenses for our radio receiving seis and fines for failure to do so, something be given us in return. This, in the opinion of The Press, ican only ce done by adding to one of the Mcntreal and one of the Toronto staâ€" tions sufficient power that they will not be drowned out by the averag'ei powerful Amsritcan transmission unit. Here in Quebec, and through Northern Ontario as well, radio must be bilingual as far as possible, and this can only be accomplished _ by strengthening a French and an Englishâ€"speaking staâ€" ticn. "In the face of these facts, federal, provincial and municipal officials are gradually awakening to the vital nced for a uniform system of health adminâ€" istration throughout Canada to guaranâ€" tee that no Canadian child shall be left unprotected from diphtheria," the Manâ€" ual concludes. Indignation Against the Radio Service in North From 1928 to 1934, Montreal diphâ€" theria fatalities dropped from 21 to 3.5 per 100,000. During this period 86996 children received toxoid. As recently as 1929, before toxoiding was inauguarated on a large scale in Toronto, there were 1,022 cases of diphâ€" theria resulting in 64 deaths. In Deâ€" cember, 1929, a regular and continuous system of toxoid treatment was estabâ€" lished through the efforts of the city health department and the coâ€"operation of the Toronto Diphtheria Committee of the Health League of Canada. The result was a marked reduction in diphâ€" theria cases and deaths year by year, until in 1934 there were only 22 cases and no deaths. There was one death last year from diphtheria. (From Kouynâ€"Noranda Press) Nothing could be ‘better calculatei to consolidate public indignation in the North against the Canadian Broadcastâ€" ing Corporation that the course it is In Ottawa, toxoiding in two years cut the diphtheria rate from 8 per 100,000 population to a negligible 0.7 Most classes of civil servants in the Dominion have had their salaries restored to former figures Railway employees constitute one class who, up to date, have failed to secure this restoration 01 salary. The railwaymen of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway are government emâ€" ployees. Thus they are servants of the people, and they are certainly civil servantsâ€"and faithful serâ€" vants. Surely, the morali is plain. the social credit scheme was foredoomed to failure, for exactly the same reason that Ponzi and others of his ilk failed to continue paying out more money than came in. Premier Aberhart clothed the imâ€" possible ‘with plausibility, but all his eloquence failed to make the impossible practical. "Where at the time of staking of any miining claim either before or after the cominzg into force of this subsecâ€" tion, any building or other structure shall, subject to the previsions of subâ€" section 1 Lelong to His Majesty in right Where a license is lost or desiroyed a duplicate may be obtained at the ofâ€" fice of the minister, deputy minister or any recorder. The duplicate shall bear the same date and numper as the original. Under the present provisions it is posâ€" slcole <to stake out claims in remote areas and hold them for several months withcui recording. A new clause proâ€" vides that: ‘"Where the claim is situatâ€" ed more than ten miles in a straight ling from the cffice of the recorder for each additional ten miles or fraction thereof an additional day shall be aiâ€" lewed for recording, but in no case shall the time for resording exzgeed 60 days from the date of staking." Bu‘ldings Revert to Crown Where a mining claim is abandoned, for{eited cr cancelled, the former ownâ€" er is given a siipulated time during which to remove anry buildings and structures after expiration of which they revert to he crown. The clause reads: "Whore the recorded holder of 2 imnining claim abandons the same, or where the claim is cancelled or {forleited under this Act, hss may take from the same any buildings, struzctures,., machinâ€" ery, chatiels or personal property, and any ore or mineral he may have exâ€" tracted therefrom within six months after such abandoament, cancellation or forfeiture, or within such furtner time as may be fixed by the judge.
