Ns, QONTARIO, Members Canadian Weeckly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group OFFICE {6â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" PHONES â€"â€"â€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO. LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: Canadaâ€"â€"82.00 Per Year For some weeks past there has been a special cleanâ€"up of vice conditions in Sudbury. This should not be taken to mean that Sudbury is a particuâ€" larlv wicked city or that it has more law defiance than the ordinary city of its size in Southern Onâ€" tario. As a matter of fact, Sudbury is likely just as Jawâ€"abiding as Oshawa or Welland or other cities in the South with as cosmopolitan a population as Sudbury. In comparison with the true conditions in Windsor, for example, Sudbury is a regular Sunday school. Why, then, the cleanâ€"up in Sudbury? Simpâ€" ly that the council and the public appear to be ready to support the police in preventing the estabâ€" lishment of gangs and crime rings in Sudbury. No doubt in Sudbury, as elsewhere, there is the tempâ€" tation to permit crime to become a racket. But thoughtful people can see no sense in allowing themselves to be euchred into permitting the domâ€" ination of gangsters and racketeers. Apparently people in Sudbury have been doing some thinking. and with this sort of backing the police are taking advantage of the opportunity to clean up any vice conditions there may be. In Sudbury there is a morality squad of two men, and these two officers have been securing many cases and many convictions. The result is a cleanâ€" er and better Sudbury. Another result is that the wouldâ€"be gangsters are in their usual panic in suth cases. They have even threatened the two officers â€"first with physical violence, and next with death. But the two officers in question see little danger in such threats. That sort of peril can be met. Seldom are police officers worried over threats like those thrown around at present in Sudbury. They do, however, face a very serious danger in every case where they try to do their duty without fear or favourâ€"the danger of being fought and knifed by the very people who are sworn to uphold them. If the gangsters can get one or two men in places of authority, their plan is to undermine the policeâ€"to "frame" themâ€"to have them dischargâ€" ed. In such plans they have all sorts of viciousness, perjury, lack of principle and absence of decency all ready to hand for their purposes. First there 13 a whispering campaign against one or two officers, then more open methods are used. Even if no more than a doubt is established in the public mind, the gangsters feel that they have accomplished someâ€" thing. They know that physical attack on the poâ€" lice would be dangerous for those making the atâ€" tack. They know also that open violence would rouse public opinion against them. The Sudbury morality squad can afford to laugh at the anonyâ€" mous threats they have received. The real danger that faces them, however, is from political interâ€" ference and from what the lawâ€"breakers themâ€" selves term the "frameâ€"up." The only way the Sudbury police can escape that danger is from an aroused public support and the fair dealing 01 those in high authority. It is this fair treatment from the public, the vigilance and interest of the chairman of the police committee and the memâ€" bers of that board, together with the support of the council in general and the public as a whole, that has allowed the Timmins police force this year to do so effective and pleasing a piece of law enforceâ€" ment and law observance. It has enabled the poâ€" lice to keep the town quiet, orderly and lawâ€"obâ€" serving. The same support is necessary for the provincial police in the present campaign to clean up conditions in nearby areas. The average police officer has little fear for his safety or his life. He knows, however, that his place on the force is al~ ways in danger unless the honest, lawâ€"abiding citizen supports him with intelligence and coâ€" operation. Only one policeman in this North lost his life at the hands of gangsters because of his devotion to duty. Scores of good policemen, howâ€" ever, have been thrown out of their positions beâ€" cause they followed the line of duty regardless of influences arrayed against them. Decent citizens should remember this, and give the honest and efficient police officers the protection they deserve T AL D DP L D AOBL L LC P e t lt â€" lt â€"le:â€"ale THREATENING THE POLICE More than once since the visit of the Toronto Board of Trade members to Timmins last week on their Good Will Tour of the North the question has been asked whether the visit will have any particuâ€" lar value for the North. When a very decided affirâ€" mative answer was made to the question another query was usually expressed by the words "Just how?" A little thought wili suggest the answer to this second question. The men on the Good Will Tout were leading business and professional men of the province. They embraced all political creeds and parties, and their high standing in their own parâ€" ticular lines and in public life in general is assurâ€" ance that they have influence. The very fact that they took time from busy lives to visit the North argues their interest and good will towards the North. They came to see the country and to learn at first hand of its needs and possibilities. Before they left they made it amply clear that they were Timmins, Ont., Thursday, June 17th, 1937 Ohe Vorrupins Aduance V ALUE OF GOOD WILL TOUR United Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year The other day at North Bay two men pleaded guilty to thirtyâ€"four charges of breaking and °nâ€" tering and theft. On each count they were senâ€" tenced to three years in the penitentiary, the senâ€" tences in each of the thirtyâ€"four convictions to run concurrently. It seems like a very inadequate punâ€" ishment for these men to have to serve no more than three years for thirtyâ€"four separate crimes. The inference is that for one or two similar crimes a threeâ€"year sentence would have been imposed. Indeed, the offenders may be tempted to think that they might just as well have committed anâ€" other thirtyâ€"four crimesâ€"that the penalty would have been no more severe. On the other hand it would seem to be equally absurd to have made the sentences consecutive. That would have required them to serve 102 years in Kingston penitentiary, which would seem as bad as a couple of weeks in Toronto. The inadequacy of the sentences as they are, however, seems to suggest that some variance in the practice of imposing concurrent sentences would be advisable in cases like these. It is cases like these at North Bay that give logical support to the Baumes law in New York State, designed to put habitual criminals in prison for life. Last week the news from Russia was to the efâ€" fect that eight prominent military leaders had been shot for alleged treason. This week the story by cable from RusSia is that twenty leading Rusâ€" sian citizens have been shot for alleged sabotage. Some people wonder what it all means. In a word, it means just this: that the old Russian system is still in full force and effect. The only material difâ€" ference is that the present czar‘s name is Stalin Anyone who happens to displease the czar or any of his little ring of satellites is murdered. No formâ€" er czar showed any more drastic tyranny of disâ€" cipline than evidenced toâ€"day in Russia. The usual procedure is being followed. After killing off al the soâ€"called aristocrats, they have turned to murdering each other. The Soviet system of disciâ€" pline is a fearsome thing. It is interesting to note that this discipline is just as closely enforced in Canada as in Russia among the Communists. They have, of course, at least on the surface, to stop at murder. Yet Communists here also go in fear. Some of them would like to from the ranks, but dare not. The Communist party has its own meâ€" thods of whipping its followers to heel. Perhaps the stories of wholesale murders in Moscow have their due effect on the Communists in other lands. Ottawa politicians are quoted as saying that a provincial general election will be held in Ontario within the next six weeks. Such a statement is rather rash and likely to be very soon disproved. It GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACE mmwm“ THE PCORCUPINE ADVANCE. TIMMINS, ONTARIO Increasing the Air Services in North Skylines Through Routes Between Montreal, Val d‘0r.; Rouyn,. Kirkland, and Timmins, Daily. (From Val dOr News) The inauguration Otf what is visualâ€" iized as the biggest development in norâ€" thern aerial passenger transportation took place last Friday when Skylines Express Limited and its subsidiary, Norâ€" thern Flights Limited, carried out test trips that will shortly develop into daily passenger and express runs covering the North from Montreal to Winnipeg. Begun without fanfare, the first trip of the new service in Quebec was made by Pilots E. MacKay and Herb Setter who left Longeuil airport at Montreal in a fourâ€"place Waco and flew to Kirkâ€" land Lake via Val d‘Or and Rouyn. Met at Suilivan dock by The News and Tom Wilson, representative of Britâ€" ish American Oil Company, Pilots Macâ€" Kay and Setter explained that the preâ€" sent trip was a test flight preparatory to planningâ€"~@aâ€"regular»schedule which was to be introduced in a few days. Eb MacKay, who will act as Quebec superintendent for Skylines Express, is a veteran . northern pilot, having put in most of his service in Northwestern Onâ€" tario and Manitoba. He flew for some time with Bob Starret out of Hudson, Ontario, into the Red Lake and Pickle Lake districts, later joining Wings, Limâ€" ited, and making his headquarters at Winnipeg. He will act as pilot on the Quebec run together with Pilot Setter, who rezently left the services of Columâ€" bia Airlines in United States. An ambitious programme of flying has been laid out. Ships flying from Montreal will be met in Kirkland Lake by planes from Toronto which will conâ€" tinue west by way of Timmins and Sudâ€" bury to Little Long Lac. The latter will be a meeting point for ships from east and west. Planes will leave Winnipeg and cover the Red Lakeâ€"Manitcba disâ€" tricts, arriving at Little Long Lac in time for passengers to make connetâ€" tions east to Toronto, Montreal and in â€" termediate points. The new company plans to blanket the eastern North, covering all the major mining centres in the country. It is hoped to provide a passenger air service between mining centres and the cities at fares that will be comparable to those of the railroads. To accomplish this, Mr. MacKay inâ€" forms The News, five 12â€"place twinâ€" motored Fairchild machines have been ardered for delivery in about a month‘s time.

Says Good Will Tour May Prove Beneficial Good Roads and Other Needs Noted by Board of Trade. Other Features of Tour. (From Sudbury Star) The 1937 goodwill mission of the Toâ€" ronto Board of Trade has come and gone . . . with what results? Some time prior to the advent of this 2roup of businessmen, The Nugget cauâ€" tioned against receiving them as perâ€" sons responsible for what we term "deâ€" plorable conditions," and visiting upon them by speech the woes which, we. consider, are due to inattention on the part of government or governments. It is to be rgretted that these men, visiting us as a "goodwill mission", reâ€" turned home. with resoundings of grievâ€" ances heard at every point visited, exâ€" cept North Bay. They were told of bad road conditions in every part, of disâ€" criminaticn in the employment of teaâ€" chers in Toronto schools, of the need for new industries, of it being imperaâ€" tive to proceed with the development o‘ the china clay and lignite deposits o; the Cochrane region, and of the great hardships visited upon mining campS by governments gobbling much too large a share of taxes drawn from mines. They were also told of poor radio reâ€" ception north of North Bay and of the neglect of those who invaded the North to pioneer in newlyâ€"opened regions. wWhat good purpOse wWas served in parading the griefs of the North before these goodwill visitors? They are not associated with nor in any manner conâ€" nected with administration of provinâ€" cial affairs. They are businessmen whose interests, indirectly, lie in the industrial expansion of the northerns section of the province, but who have no direct say in governmental policies which ensure growth and welfare. Would it not be better to tell these men of the investment, by physical apâ€" plication, that northerners are putting into their country, confident that their faith and labours will bring about the achievements of ambitions. They know by personal experiences, that the North is not as well equipped with roads, radio facilities and other conveniences that contribute to comfort as is the longâ€" settled part of the province. They also realize that governments have not adâ€"~ justed the outgoings and income beâ€" tween North and South to effect an ideal arrangement, but it is not their fault that these disadvantages are visitâ€", ea upon the North, nor are they to blame because governments have not realized the unfairness in their attitude towerd this part of the Dominion. 1t can be said without fear of effecâ€" tive contradiction that Toronto has been a good friend of the T. N.: C region of Northern Ontario, and the fact that the provincial government is centred in that city does not mean that al} who issue therefrom are responsible for the omissions and commissions of government. Their goodwill will be won and reâ€" tained only by receiving and treating them as friends who have our interests at heart. If they are impressed by our tion will be held "‘very soon." at heart. If they are impressed by our faith in our region and our diligent apâ€" plication to our work, they will be more inclined to seek out, by their own inâ€" quiries, the handicaps we suffer and be prompted to exert influen‘ce to make cur lot a happier one. Until such time as Northern Ontario, particularly the T. N. O. region, realâ€" izes that governmental neglect is due to those directly connected with govâ€" ernment., and not the responsibility of others for the same reason that a man seldom has appendicitis after the appendix has been once reâ€" moved. Doctors as a rule have wellâ€"developed hearts, and certainly they see and hear and endure enough to overwork them. A tax on every broken election promise would bring in enough money to pay the municipal debâ€" enture debt. Toronto police are conductimg a beauty contest in connection with their annual day of sports. Judging from the girls the police usually pick up, policemen seem to be the poorest judges for a beauty show. Perhaps they intend as usual to leave the decisions to the magistrates. Proposals for taxes on coal chutes, signs and so on! Why not an amusement tax on foolish proâ€" posals for municipal taxation? Daily newspapers report the escape from Kingâ€" ston penitentiary of a convict clad only in his pyjamas. Probably all the demand for prison reâ€" form was from those oldâ€"fashioned people who beâ€" lieve that nightâ€"dresses only are moral, the Ontario Associated Boards of Trade and the Toronto Board of Trade, party visits will be unpleasant for the visitors. They greatly appreciate northern hosâ€" pospitality, but the persistent "false accusation" of being responsible, directâ€" ly or indirectly, for the North‘s lack of good roads, proper radio facilities, new industries and equitable distribution of taxes from mines is aggravating and likely to discourage thought of a reâ€" turn visit. If northerners receive and conâ€" verse with goodwill visitors in a proper manner, it will be found that these friends will indirectly be the means of improving our lot to a great extent. Otherwise, their visits may prove a y- thing but beneficial for us. Attraction at Palace Sensational and Mystifying Around town people have been faced with the question, "Who is Pauline?"
