Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Quebee Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group OFFPICE 26â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" PHONES â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO. LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscrintion Rates: Canadaâ€"$2.00 Per Year The Advance, the pioneer newspaper of the Porâ€" cupine Gold Camp, extends sincere greetings to the oldâ€"timersâ€"those still resident in the camp, and those who are revisiting here for the Silver Jubilee of Timmins and the Porcupine Old Home Week. For over a quarter of a century The Advance has tried to serve the people and the community of this camp, and it is not a mere boast to say that it has become an institution of importance. Pracâ€" tically all of the oldâ€"timers are personal friends of The Advance. It is not strange that this should be so. The Advance has grown from small beginnings, like the camp itself. The Adyance has done more than record the progress and the doings of the district. It has lived the life of the people here, shared their work, their joys, their sorrows, their dark days, their bright ones, their sports, their enâ€" tertainmentsâ€"â€"has stayed through fire and flood and epidemic and disasterâ€"through discourageâ€" ment and through success. For twentyâ€"five years The Advance has been published continuously unâ€" der the one ownership, and for twentyâ€"one years with the same editor. Because it has always supâ€" ported every worthy cause and movement, The Porcupine Advance has shared in the advance of the Porecupine. That it has the support of the peoâ€" ple of the Porcupine is best attested by the fact that this twentyâ€"fifth year of its service sees the biggest business of its history. Timmins and the Porcupine have always welâ€" comed new people here. Never was there a friendâ€" lier community. So, in the years The Advance has added thousands of newer citizens to its list of friends. And on behalf of the oldâ€"timers and the newer citizens, The Advance greets the oldâ€"timers â€"friends and good fellows all. The modern city of Timmins, the upâ€"toâ€"date towns of Schumacher and South Porcupineâ€"these are the results of the visâ€" ion, the faith, the courage, the work, the persisâ€" tence of the oldâ€"timers. They builded even better than they hoped. The great industries here, these, too, are the measure of the worth of the oldâ€"timers. The real monument to the oldâ€"timers is the prosâ€" perousâ€"and progressive Porcupine of toâ€"day. A notable work for a generation! Welcome, oldâ€" timers! Hail, oldâ€"timers! In the old days you had a happy time despite everything! May this week be the happiest yet in viewing what has been accomplished, and in reâ€" newing old friendships, and reâ€"living the good old days. In these days of the Silver Jubilee of Timmins and the Porcupine Old Home Week, there will be often heard the words:â€""Do you remember?" folâ€" lowed by stories grave and gayâ€"but chiefly gayâ€" about the early days of the Porcupineâ€"about "Ma Potts" and other ladies who were not so circumâ€" spect: about Slim Halliwell and other gentlemen who were not perhaps so happy; about "Billy the Pig," and lads who would not associate with anyâ€" thing porkine; about old prospectors and newâ€" comers:; about doctors and patients and nurses; about the White Rat and other places; about preachers who were good sports, and sports who were fair preachers; about black flies and white lies; about a million other things and hundreds of other people. But there will be more than dreams of the past. There will be visions of the future. There will be more than "Do you remember?" There will be temptation to many to ask, "Do you see?" Looking on the development and progress made in a short quarter of a century there will be temptation to visualize Timmins and the Porcupine in the days to come. Seeing the city that has grown on a bush lot of 1912, some will picture the place that may be here in 1962. What will Timmins be like twentyâ€"five years from now? A city of 100,000, one may say with pride! There may be visions of imposing buildings, expanded industries, progress in material © ways. Only recently a local man foretold a city of 50,000 as the fate of Timmins within five years. To those who think that size and greatness are interchangeâ€" able terms, progress may appear as something to do with bulk or numbers. But this was not the guiding star of the oldâ€"timers who made the comâ€" munities of the Porcupine. Their vision aid not run to delusions of grandeur. When Abraham Linâ€" coln was asked how long a man‘s legs should be, he answered, "Just long enough to reach to the ground." By the same token the oldâ€"time vision for Timmins and the other towns of the Porcuping, was for communities large enough and modern enough to serve the needs of the people. There was little tendency to put on more "front" than the "packing" warranted. In other words the average man believed in having a good working suit or business dress before he bought a "soup and fish" mtnma Timmins had a waterworks system before ithad cement sidewalks; a complete sewerage sysâ€" tem, before good roads; fire protection before adeâ€" '.‘moo'm,mwmm TWENTYâ€"FIVE YEARS FROM NOW Che Borrupinse Aduvance | Timmins, Ont., Monday, June 28th, 1937 GREETINGS TO QOLDâ€"TIMERS TVIMMIXS, ONTARIO, United Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year quate street lighting; schools and churches before other less essential things. Indeed Timmins yet has to secure some of the things that other less fortuâ€" nate towns have believBd as most necessary. Timâ€" mins has avoided "booms" and the false progress that appeals to the racketeers. Those who have watched Timmins grow from a few tents and cabins in a clearing in the bush twentyâ€"five years ago, have every faith and belief in the great growth of the town of Timmins and the expansion of the other towns of the Porcupine. But that growth is only incidentalâ€"size is not the one and only thing desirable. It is immaterial whether Timmins be a city of 50,000 or 100,000 peoâ€" ple, or little larger than it is toâ€"day. The big thing is that it shall be large enough to house its people as comfortably and healthily as possibleâ€"that it should be a prosperous and progressive place in the true meaning of the words, with a happy and contented citizenship. The rapid growth of Timâ€" mins has, perhaps, overshadowed the two other large towns of the Porcupineâ€"Schumacher and South Porcupine. They have not expanded to the same degree as Tlmmms but who dare say that their citizens have not been as happy and as well situated as those of the bigger town? In these two progressive towns there has been growth and exâ€" pansion to meet the needs, while the finer things of lifeâ€"education. music, cultureâ€"have been given due place. There has been the true community spirit in Schumacher and South Porcupine no less than in Timminsâ€"and it would be a shortsighted or unthinking person who would deny that the community spirit is greater than any material growth. In the past Timmins has been little concerned with growthâ€"more concerned with true progress. The development and expansion of the town has been a natural one. One by one the real essentials have been secured. In retrospect, it appears the best policy. It is well not to attempt to run before the legs are strengthened by walking. Even a little standing at first, avoids bandy legs in later life. Oldâ€"timers of vision may see great cities in this gold camp in the days to be, but they will be little concerned with population or extentâ€"more anxâ€" ious that they should simply meet the needs. A town of 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, with happy homes and contented people, with emphasis on the better things of life rather than on mere size or numbers is much to be preferred to a city of hundreds of thousands where conditions are not the best. Quality, not size, should be the watchword. Comâ€" fort, not pride, should be the aim. This is the policy that has left Timmins in the excellent financial condition it occupies toâ€"day. There is no other town in Canada that has made such honest growth in so short a period of time. This is the vision of the oldâ€"timers of the Porcupine. Look around and see if it is not good. This weekâ€"the Silver Jubilee of Timmins and the Porcupine Old Home Weekâ€"special tribute should be paid to the prospectorsâ€"the hopeful, happy, adventurous souls on the result of whose faith and work is based the communities of the Porcupine, the industries of the Porcupine, and the progress and prosperity of this camp. _ It might be a fitting thing for Timmins to place somewhere on the outside or near the entrance of its new town hall a bronze or golden plate bearing the names of theâ€" men who in the final analysis must have the credit as the true makers of Porâ€" cupineâ€"the prospectors. In such a list would need to appear the names of George Bannerman, Tom Geddes, Victor Mattison, Harry Bannella, Chas. Auer, Wm. Auer, Alex Gillies, Ben Hollinger, Tom Middleton, Hugh McEachern, Johnnie MacLeod, A. G. Hunter, Jack WiUson, Harry A. Preston, the Campbell brothers, Chas.

McKenney, Wesley A Gordon, Jack Logan, Martin Walsh, Milâ€" ton Flynn, Alex McLeod, Launcelot Kelly, Alex Miller, Allan Burton, Jules St. Paul, Jas. Huddleâ€" ston. and many others. Accompanying such a list might well be the names of men like Noah A. Timmins, L. H. Timâ€" mins, F. W. Schumacher, W. C. Edwards, Jack Milâ€" lar, Jack McMahon, and others whose generous support to the prospectors made possible the deâ€" velopment of the country. . And mention might also be made of the talented mine managers who share in the glory. The Northern News comments on the grim huâ€" mour in the fact that a Toronto gas company charged a woman $12 for the gas used by a roomer in her house in committing suicide. Would that humour be less grim if gas companies agreed not to charge for gas used in committing suicide? The suggestion was made recently at Kirkland Lake that the prevalence of silicosis in this part of the North might be due to the dust on the roads even more than to the dust in the mines.

Mr. Maurice Hagen accomâ€" panied them as far as Owen Sound where he joined Mrs. Hagen who has been visiting her parents. From there they will go to Toronto where they will spend a few weeks visiting friends. vance has often thought of this idea, but was alâ€" ways afraid even to whisper it for fear that the government might disavow its responsibility in regard to silicosis. The mines are giving time, monâ€" ey and effort in seeking to reduce danger from silicosis in the mines. The government should do its spart in removing the menace from dust on the roads. As the British Broadcasting Commission anâ€" nouncer said about the British fleet, "Timmins is all lit up these nights." And the many new lights are left up in the daytime.
