vance it was admitted that advertising pays in regard to telephone cords. A brief editorial note in The Advance putting in a call for some invenâ€" tive geni®s to produce a telephone cord that would not knot, snarl or tangle resulted in some of The Advance staff surreptitiously adding a wire device to the office telephone with the implication that knotted telephone cords were not necessary. As The Advance noted in Monday‘s issue this was not direct answer to the editorial note. While the wire contraption took the annoyance out of teleâ€" phone cords by making a bunch of symmetrical kinks that kinked and unkinked in use. the rigaâ€" majig was not a knotless cord, but simply "someâ€" thing just as good." It wasn‘t a gnarlâ€"less cord, but rather the addition of a knotter and unâ€" It has been proven that the telephone is one o{ the most useful and desirable inventions of modâ€" ern times,.

He has not shown any disposition to play politics or wait to see what strings may be pulled or how one group may be set against another. He has been frank and fair and open all the way through. Quite evidently he is trusting completely to the good judgment of the people in general. After being pressed by many ratepayers to run as mayoralty candidate, he made up his mind, and is leaving the rest to the people. His election as mayor, with a coâ€"operating council, will put an end to the present unnecessary lack of coâ€"operation and goodwill that is as essential for the successful conduct of town affairs as for any other large business. harmony and goodwill and assure effective adâ€" ministration of town business. Councillor Laporte gave one indication of his capability for the poâ€" sition by considering the situation and then anâ€" nouncing his decision in ample time for the rateâ€" is frankly admitted on all hands that this year municipal affairs have been more successfully dealt with than was the case last year. This has been due to the one fact that this year the mayor has been more successfully opposed than he was last year. For this reason The Advance has urged that in the coming election a coâ€"operating mayor as well as a coâ€"operating council be electeq. The slogan last year to elect a coâ€"operating council was successful. If both a coâ€"operating mayor and a coâ€"operating council are elected this year, 1938 will be a satisfactory one for the town of‘ Timâ€" mins. This is why The Advance is advocating the election of Councillor P. H. Laporte as mayor. He has the necessary qualifications for the pdsipion, having a thorough grasp of the town business. He is able to support his own views without setting everybody else in town by the ears. For the good of Timmins it is necessary to get away from the recent conditions, where the interests of the town seemed to be subordinated to personal and politiâ€" cal ends. As the writer of the letter suggests, the mayor and council for 1938 should "get down to business."‘ The present council has attempted to do so, and has been fairly successful. With a mayor like Councillor P. H. Laporte and a coâ€"operating . council, harmony would be restored, full coâ€"operaâ€" tion from town employees would be possible, and the affairs of the town could be carried along without the bickerings complained of by the writer of the letter referred to. The ratepayers of the town have the opportunity at the approaching election to clear up the whole situationâ€"restore at council over bickerings between the mayor and members of council. He asks the mayor and counâ€" cil to get down to business, and expresses the hope that in the coming year there will be the necessary coâ€"operation between the mayor and council. The hope will be very generally endorsed by the peoâ€" ple of Timmins. It must be admitted that during the past year the council as a whole has given good service and affairs have been carried along with a considerable measure of success. Whatever lack there has been, has been due to the temperaâ€" mental qualities of the present mayor. At one time it would be obstructionist tactics. At anothâ€" er time it would be the bickerings complained of in the letter. Always, it seemed that the mayor was the factor that prevented municipal affairs from functioning smoothly and effectively. The mayor seems to be temperamentally unable to work with others. This year the council appears to be able to work harmoniously with each other, but time and again the mayor‘s disposition has created discord. The conduct of town affairs in Timmins is big business these days, and no busiâ€" ness can be successful where there is lack of harâ€" mony. Also, it is certain that business cannot be carried through with the proper efficiency unless there is goodwill between town â€"staffs and the whole managementâ€"the mayor and council..

This reader suggests brilliantly coloured lights similar to those used for the special honour of the Silver Jubilee of Timmins and Porcupine Old Home Week this summer. The approach of Christâ€" mas makes such a special lighting plan particuâ€" larly desirable, the reader suggests, adding that an attraction of this sort would probably mean enough additional business to the merchants to fully warrant the cost involved. ~"Surely,": says the feader. ‘‘the people of Timmins will give as much honour to the Christmas season as to Old Home Week." The reason there has been no advertising of the nonâ€"knotting telephone cord is because it is not yet standard telephone equipment, The Advance is informed. Probably, this free advertising of the new cord may make other advertising unâ€" necessary. Life is like that often in a newspaper office. But still there is compensationâ€"still adâ€" vertising paysâ€"for in the days to come, when all telephones are equipped with tangleâ€"less cords, and the crop of nervous irritation and impromptu profanity is thus materially reduced, there will be the satisfaction of knowing that it was the newsâ€" papers that hurried forward this great boon to a talkative world of telephone users. Tuesday morning, however, there was better reply to the little advertisement, as it were, for a tangleâ€"less telephone cord. This time it was from the telephone company, and so there was real service,. One of the local telephone staff not only informed The Advance that there was actually a nonâ€"knotting telephone cord, but he produced the article itself in proof. A demonstration showed that no matter how it was pulled or twisted it did not, knot, gnarl or snarl. It wouldn‘t tangle naturâ€" ally and when it was deliberately knotted it posiâ€" tively contented itself with the one knot, and acted otherwise absolutely different to any other telephone cord ever known before. Without givâ€" ing away any trade secrets it may be said that the quality of unknottiness in this telephone cord is due to the incorporation of an elastic material that returns the cord immediately to its proper shape and condition, no matter how it may be twisted. Such an invention will come as a boon and a blessing to men. Not only will it help people in this life but it will improve their chances for the better places in .the life to come. Twisted telephone cords have been a prolific source of bad language and lost tempers. How many family quarrels have resulted from husband or wife, or both, snarling because of a snarled telephone cord. If this incentive to sin and iniquity is removed by the snarlâ€"less telephone cord, then happy days arehere again. knotter. Still even this showed good returns from the advertising. THE PORCUPIN® ADVANCE. TTIMMINS, ONTARIO | â€" Dear Sir:â€"Duck hunters and scientâ€" ists who have studied the question are in agreement in saying that waterfowl are fewer in numbers tcday than they were ten years ago despite the small gain made during the past year. Duck hunters blame everything but shooting for the scarcity. The scientists say that overâ€"shocting is the fundamental cause of the duck shaortage, with drought.disease and destruction of trecding grounds as supplementary causes. With the scientific reports beâ€" | fore one, it is rather dismaying to read hat the last great breeding ground of geese and ducks, the James Bay area, has been invaded by commercial duckâ€" hunting interests.

To declare a sanctuary for wild fowl in the Mocsonee area does not seem to be the way to handle the situâ€" ation.

The establishment | Cf a game sanctuary would have a conâ€" | trary effect. In the one line alone, it ;mighL have serious results. For inâ€" | stance, it would give a false sense of security.

Canada immediately enacted the enabling laws of this treaty, our Migratory Bird Act, and took over the enforcement of these laws. Before this treaty was signed, market shooting in the United States had decimated the squelched by the timeâ€"saving preacher. At the conclusion of the wholesale wedding, however, therewas very decided general objection, the claim being made that the wrong fellows had been marâ€" ried to the wrong ladies. The parson dismissed the case,the couples and the question with the final, flat statement:â€""I married all of you! Now sort yourselves!" far North, as some seem to believe. It is doubtful if more than two or three score have been shooting ducks and geese at Moosonee this year. It is wellâ€" known that the hunters who have been shooting at Moosonee have all failed to take away the full bag limit. They had opportunity to get the full limit, but did not bother doing so, because they were in the Moosonee area for the real sport of the thing, for adventure, fresh air, â€"interest. Moreover, it seems to be the fact that there has not been any commercializing of the duckâ€" hunting business as some affirm. So far as The Advance can learn there are no plans for anything. approaching duckâ€"hunting. There are literally millions of ducks and geese at Hannah‘s Bay in the Moosoncee area, and the few ducks and geese shot there by the hunters would not be noticed. Several times the number killed by the hunters are destroyed each year by the natural enemies of the ducks and geese â€"the hawks and other birds of prey. Also, it is wellâ€"known that the chief The Sault Ste. Marie Star, which has no pariicular love for the T. N. 0. country, and knowing lit‘le about this area started recsently an agitation to nave the Moosonee country declared a wild fowl sanctuary. People in this area who have been frequent visitors to the James Bay area cannot underâ€" stand whai it is all about. They fail to see any chance of depletion of the wild ducks and geese from any hunters at Moosonee. The whole case is foundâ€" ed on misunderstanding and misrepreâ€" sentation. In the first place there has been no mighty rush of hunters to the Another Letter on Wild Fowl Matter ve the 1 wild fowl area who to the Jan stand wha Gananoque Man Should Visit Moosonee and See for Himself. stand whai it is all to see any chance o wild ducks and geese at Moosonee. The w s Treaty, our took over the Before this t shooting in As a resullt, today we have sportsâ€" men‘s organizations asking the authoriâ€" ties to stop the commercialization Oof ’shooting. But, like all other vested inâ€" terests, the commercial clubs have been able to bring sufficient influence upon i the law enforcement agencies and the | sale of game birds continues. The recent report from the Sault shows that these interests are reaching into the North, the only undisturbed breedâ€" ing sanctuary left on the continent. The importance of the James Bay as a migratory route of our geese and ducks has been stressed by Dr. F. Linâ€" coln of the Biological Survey, in his pamphlet, "The Migration of North ’Amcrican Birds." From all over the imde tundras of the North, the birds follow the ccasts of Hudson Bay and are graudually concentrated at the tip of James Bay. The contour of the land. makes a funnel through which 90 per cent. of the geese and ducks raised in Ungava and Mackenzie districts pass on their way to the south. Some of these birds winter on the Atlantic coasts and others on the Mississippi Delta. Up till this year, it was supposâ€" ed that only the natives were taking toll of the flocks, but with the estabâ€" lishment of a commercialized slaughter pen across the tip of the funnel, a way has been found to exterminate the remnants of the waterfowl flocks fxom which every Ontario hunter has taken a share in the past. In other words, the sportsmen of Ontario and Quebec who shoot a few times each fall are being robbed by these rich "sports" just as surely as if the ducks were taken from them on the way home. The editor of the Sault Star has some pertinent words on this invasion of James Bay by the commercial duck hunters. In urging the establishment of a wildâ€"fowl sanctuary for all time in this region he cites the experience »f the older parts of the province: "A flocks and caused the nearâ€"extinction of several species of game birds. It was hoped that the treaty would stop the ccmmercialization of duck hunting, but all it did was to change the marâ€" ket hunter‘s methods. In place of shooting and marketing the waterfowl themselves, the commersial interests sold the ducks on the wing to the man who could afford to pay for them. Nothing much was done about the commercial shooting club until the crdinary wildâ€"fowler realized that they were invading his shooting grounds and closing great areas that formerly had been open to every one. About the time that â€" was happening the drought and the breaking of new land in the West caused the numbers of waterfowl to take an abrupt drop, bringing home to every hunter the fact that, unless something was done, the day of free shooting would soon be gone. i NEW YORK, CHICACO, BOSTON, LONDON, ENGLAND NEKFFOUNDLAND, JAMAICA, CUBA, PUERTO R1ICO, DOoMINICAN REPUBLLIC n Canada Ceast to oast named as being guilty of wrongful action and atâ€" titude. Mr. Justice Ives in passing sentence on Powell referred to the growing turmoil and unrest in Alberta and the disrespect shown for law and justice. He blamed much of this on Powell and men like him and recommended the deportation of the convicted man after his sentence was served. Unwin has appealed his sentence, but it is not known yet whether Powell will take the matter to a higher court. In any event it should be plain by this time both to the native and the imported Social Credit advocates that British law prevails in Alberta as well as elsewhere.
