pom es t it c 2 lmmwmumm Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group The way to counteract the debunker is by the gathering of real facts while these may easily be ascertained. In this respect, the various historical societies in Ontario are doing a notable work. It is a matter for regret that this new land of the North has not an official historical association whereby all the interesting and important facts of its origin and progress might be preserved and truth thus placed beyond the reach of the debunkâ€" er. This is particularly true in regard to names in the North. On several occasions The Advance has given lists of names in this country, with the derivation of each. It may be necessary to gather a complete list of all the names in the North with interesting and romantic history to save them from the muddled hands of the debunker class. Unless something like this is done, some of the deâ€" bunkers will be solemnly. asserting that a certain slow little animal with a gown of quills was named in honour of Canada‘s greatest gold camp. Probâ€" ably the North had better lead in this matter, and the rest of Ontario, the rest of Canada, follow suit, as has happened before in other matters. Unless such a plan is followed, the soâ€"styled debunkers will be telling the world that Ferguson, Nova Scoâ€" tia, was named after a former premier of Ontario, or Mitchell, Ontario,.is usually called Mitch after the present premier. Any day the debunker may be expected to explain that Alpha is in Saskatcheâ€" wan and Omega in the Larder Lake district of Onâ€" tario so that there may be the length of the alphaâ€" bet between them. Some morning the debunker may sadly inform you that Croll, Manitoba,, must change its name because its godfather was dropâ€" ped from the Hepburn administration. Also, it would be just like the ordinary debunker to preâ€" tend that Castor, Alberta, was so named because they struck oil there, while the chances are that beans are a chief product of the district. Any deâ€" bunker any day now may answer the question:â€" "Alice, Where Art Thou?" by saying: "In Renfrew County, of course!" It is not beyond the probabiliâ€" ties that debunkers will clairp that Windsor, Onâ€" tario, secured its name from the third husband of Wally Warfield, or that Abound, Saskatchewan, was so named after sin and iniquity of the North. Agate, in Nipissing riding, Ontario, might be too hard a one even for the debunker, but Sudbury should be quite easy. To the average debunker Sudbury would originally be Sudsbury and the name would be a natural reaction from the beer that Sudbury folks made famous. Unless there is to be this sort of debunking bunk, the people should have the counteracting factsâ€"just as inâ€" teresting and much more pleasing. What is needâ€" ed is less bunk, still less debunking of bunk with more bunk. To achieve this end let every county, every district have its historical society to get the facts, preserve the facts. Henry Ford once said that history was the bunk. Henry can make cars that run, bntthntdoanoflmplythathe can make history lie. A lot of material to be assembled tomakehiatury jnstaamuchsmfihastobeas- ed to make a car. n_me aoods are not sound During the sad days of the depression, the soâ€" ‘called debunkers had their heyâ€"day. It was easy then to persuade people that everything was de bunk and needed the debunker. So popular was the form of bunk called debunking that daily newspapers devoted a column each issue to this form of bunk. One of the recent habits of the deâ€" bunkers has been attacking the origin of names of places. To The Advance this seems a particuâ€" larly vicious practice, especially in regard to the homely names, like Orono, Calebogie, Omemee and Ghost River in Ontario, and Geyser in Manitoba. For what is home without a little bunk! Names of places have a fascination like the names of peoâ€" ple and the less debunking of them the better. To make the matter worse the debunking columnists seem to take out one bunk only to put in a less cosy one. It is high time the debunkers were deâ€" bunked in their turn. The world toâ€"day, being in a more cheerful turn of mind, might take quite kindly to this debunking of the debunkers. Some things that are not so in actual fact, are all the more true in spirit and effect, and no one should be allowed to take away what they call bunk, but which is essentially true and at the same time] comforting and pleasant. is Bunkum is a weed (common name "bunk") that thrives on this continent; also on other continâ€" ents. Unlike potato bugs, it has even secured a grip on the North. Like sin and iniquity, bunk has a habit of abounding. Because of the danger of it choking out the flowers of life, there has arisen a race of debunkers who pretend to take the bunk out of life. Often, instead, they seem to add to the supply of bunk. Like the rabbits in Australia, they appear sometimes as a greater curse than the vegetable or animal or whatpver it was that the rabbit was supposed to destroy. Don‘t ask the deâ€" bunker what it was, however. What he will tell you!l will likely be only de bunk. e COanadaâ€"$2.00 Per Year United Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year rublished Every Monday and Tharsday by: GEO. LAKE, Owner and Publisher Timmins, Ont., Monday, Nov. 1st, 1937 ; With the one proviso that if Britain and the United States are powerfully enough armed, the threat of war may prove a potent force to avert war, it may be said that peaceâ€"loving nations have no slightest word as to whether there shall be war _or peace. But there is a slaughter right here at homeâ€"in Canada, in Britain, in the United States, that may be stopped, if the peaceâ€"loving and the humane so will. That is the slaughter daily in automobile crashes. Here, too, "men are left torn to shapeless masses." Here, too, are "the maimed, the blind, shattered wrecks of what were once fine young (and old) specimens of manhood" (and of womanhood). Here, too, are "the widowed women and the helpless children who are left after the carnage!" This slaughter cannot be blamed on kings, or presidents, rulers, dictators, diplomats, or demagogues. The people themselves must take all the onus for this destruction of property, this mutilation, this death. There is no glory in it for anyone. It is just sheer, wanton, senseless waste. It cannot be laid at the door of the capitalists, who are blamed for everything else. The makers of automobiles have given a notable lead in seeking to avert accidents and make them as near imposâ€" sible as can be done. The car manufacturers have spent time, effort, money, generously to this end. Governments have played their part with a wholeâ€" hearted earnestness that should win sincere apâ€" proval. Yet, this war continues! The slaughter goes on! If it is beyond the power of the people of this continent to stop this carnage for which they themselves must take all responsibility, then is it not presumptious to think they can dictate the forms of slaughter in other lands? The pacifists are fond of telling the people that every citizen of every country can contribute to the cause of peace by thinking peace, talking peace, watching every word, every action, and that the combined force of the growing group of peaceâ€"lovers will bring peace on earth eventually. It is a noble ideal. perhaps, but its fulfilment seems far off indeed! But apply the same idea to the home slaughter, and see the double probability of its early success! Suppose every car driver, every pedestrian, talked safety, thought safety, watched every second, every action, never took a chance, sacrificed the odd imagined saving of time, thought of the. other fellow, remembered the useless waste and slaughâ€" ter of the days that have begn! Suppose that every manâ€"in a car, or out of a carâ€"determined that the senseless carnage on the highways must cease! If none speeded, none drove a car while incapable, none took unnecessary chances in any way, none risked the safety of others through "cutting in," through faulty brakes, no lights! If pedestrians also helped in this great movement for safety on the roads! Would not the sum total spell the end of the carnage at hoine? And would not the people who profess such horror of wanton deâ€" struction and useless slaughter be in a better poâ€" smon to lecture the dictatorg, the diplomats, the a ~for . the other bmtauties and inâ€" humanifies ealled war? â€" § At first thought, the response may be:â€"‘"That‘s the stuff to give the troops!" But second thought may tempt to say:â€""Tell that to Germany, to Italy, to Japan." The third thought might well be:â€"*"‘"What a rotten thing to say to Belgium, to Ethiopia, to China!" Then comes the fourth thought:â€"‘"What a useless, what an irritating, what a harmful thing it is to keep prating to peaceâ€"loving people of the horrors, the evils of war! Facts seem fairly to shriek the message that all that the peace talk among the civilized peoples of the world has accomplished has been to tempt to the unpreparedness that leads to war. It would not be quite the truth to say that Canada, Britain, the United States, haven‘t a word to say as to whether there will be war or not, but it is the fact that the only way they can hope to avoid war is by being so armed that they can defy the warâ€" mongers. Ethiopia did not seek war or wish it. China was peaceâ€"seeking to the limit of endurâ€" ance. No modern president of the United States has sought any glory in war. Where is the British King, Ruler, diplomat or demagogue who has not risked all for peace? Is it not the truth toâ€"say that the only reason there is not a worldâ€"wide war toâ€"day is because Britain and France are able to talk more sword than peace? It is not peace talk, but the threat of war, that will save other nations from the horrors that have been visited upon Ethiopia and China. In the current issue of The Kiwanis Magazine there is an editorial that at first glance, first thought, may make very general appeal and win much approval. "War! Why?‘**the editorial says. "What is it all about? War destroys the wealth it took us generations to create. We fight not for good but for glory! Whose glory? Certainly not the dead men who are left torn to shapeless masses on the field of battle. Certainly not for the glory of the maimed, the shellâ€"shocked and the blind, shattered wrecks of what were once fine young specimens of manhood. Certainly not for the glory of the widowed women and the helpless children who are left after the carnage! Not for the glory! The only glory is for kings, dicâ€" tators, rulers, and presidents. The only glory is for demagogues and diplomats who never risk a finger in the fray! Are we men, or are we beasts? How long, O Lord, how long must our young men be led like sheep to the slaughter?" as well as in some sections of Ontarioâ€"â€"Welland, for exPmpleâ€"debunk the debunker. The past is recorded, the present is made clear, the future is so much more assured. |GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER Police in the Peterborough district are searchâ€" ing for a young man who was recently married at Codrington, Northumberland County, and who paid the clergyman with a cheque that later provâ€" ed to be worthless.
