For some weeks past there seems to have been a regular campaign in progress in the South sugâ€" gesting that there was employment going aâ€"begâ€" ging in the North. It may be that the Southern centres imagined this an easy plan to. transfer their unemployed. Such plans could not be exâ€" pected to be permanently successful. It is doubtâ€" ful if there is any centre in the North that is in need of any help. So far as Timmins is concerned, there is a labour surplusâ€"close to a thousand men here seeking work. There are over 800 registered as unemployed, and there are no doubt many who have not registered. As The Advance has pointed out ever since the first whispers of the campaign were heard, the only present employment open in the North is in Walter Little, M.P. for Temiskaming, did his constituency and the North generally a public serâ€" vice this week when he wrote to The Globe and Mail protesting against the suggestion being made in the South that the North needs menâ€"â€"that there is all sorts of employment here awaiting men. Mr. Little referred particularly to an alleged statement of a Midland man that 500 men are needed in the mines of the North. He points out that the stateâ€" ment is absolutely false so far as Kirkland Lake is concerned, and he is sure that Timmins is in no such need. Mr. Little points out that Kirklard Lake has a surplus of ‘labour and that if it were true that 500 men were needed in Timmins, there would be no need for any influx from the South, as the men could be supplied in Kirkland Lake. Of course, there is no call for 500 men for mine work in Timmins, any more than there is in Kirkland Lake. As a matter of fact, there are over 800 men out of employment at present in Timmins:: This: is more than the normal surplus of labour, and at the same time the demand for mine labour is deâ€" creasing rather than showing any increase. With the coming of winter, there is a natural slackenâ€" ing off in the demand for mine labour, work at new properties being more or less seasonal, though employment at established mines is not affected by the weather. At the established mines, howâ€" ever, there are no immediate projects calling for any pxesent material increase in employment. that the public should be served faithfully and fairly, each question being dealt with as it deâ€" veloped. With the excellent councilâ€" electedâ€" some experienced in council work; and all Able and publicâ€"spirited, Timmins may look forward with assurancestoâ€"a goodâ€"year..in. 1 Post mortems on elections sometimes may be interesting, but it is doubtful if they have much further useful value. There may be regret at the defeat of good men of talent and public spiritâ€" regret, perhaps, at the lack of support accorded a favourite candidate. But, after all} it is the esâ€" sence of democracy that the people‘s verdict be acâ€" cepted as it is, and that all work together to make the general choice a success. In the present case this seems an easy matter for all. ‘There was Httle bitterness in the contest in general and conâ€" sequently the way is open for coâ€"operation and goodwill and for the council board and the people Hb work together for the welfare of Timmins. Few DlOI‘IlleS were made by the councilâ€"elect. Indeed, it might be said that there was only one promiseâ€" there is very general regret expressed that the services of two others of the 1937 councilâ€"Messrs. Laporte and Cousinsâ€"will not be available in the coming year. They did good work at the council board and served the town welll Through the fortunes of war, however, the municipal board loses their services for 1938. It is no idle saying to suggest that 1938 will be a difficult year. A rapidly expanding town means constant demand for new services and the extenâ€" sion of old ones. The chief problem is to meet the needs of the people, and at the same time keep the burden of taxation from becoming too onerous. Any who have had experience in municipal matâ€" ters or other public service will readily agree that it is a big problem. The newlyâ€"elected council, however, may be depended upon to make a good job of it. The three present councillors have a record of good service.. The three new councillors have special qualifications for the work. Anyone knowing the men will adamit that they will give of their best, and that "best" will be good. In a town that has been making sucn rapid growth and expansion as Timmins has been makâ€" ingâ€"is makingâ€"there are always difficult probâ€" lems arising. The administration .of, the affairs of such a municipality requires spécial attention, special interest, special ability. «t igâ€"only fair to present and previous councils to say that in the main Timmins has been well servéd by its elected municipal representatives. The excellent position of the town generally is the best proof of this. The voters on Monday gave their approval to the work of the present council by reâ€"electing with leading votes the three members of the 1937 council seekâ€" ing reâ€"election as councillors.

In his letter this week, Dr. McCullough enclosed | the initial copy of "Canada‘s Health News," to be ’ issued monthly to supplement the quarterly issues of "Health," the Health League‘s magazine which has gained a wide and wellâ€"merited popularity with the public. "Canada‘s Health News," editegd by Dr. McCullough, is to be widely distributed, thanks to the good offices of the Imperial Orderf Daughters of the Empire. The I.O0.D.E., ever; anxious to assist genuinely patriotic works, is givâ€" | ing hearty support to the Health League of Canada and its informative and helpful publications. Written with a talent that makes it easy to readâ€" makes it so that it will be read for its interest alone â€"Canada‘s Health News will undoubtedly prove a valuable force in popularizing the work of the Health League of Canadaâ€"the work of guarding the public health, fighting disease, improving methods of prevention of disease, and rousing such general interest in the subject of health that the | general health of the people may reach the highâ€" estâ€"standards. 4 ce mmn n mm on en n ommc m ut vitt lt PP â€" L PP P PP Lt s es ol aties. > e tA [GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACEER | Dr. McCullough is inclined to argue the point as to which is the most likely to be caught in error â€"the doctor or the editor. This is one case, howâ€" ever, that The Advance will not take up, with or without fee. But if anybody else wants an arguâ€" ment, this newspaper is ready to take the affirmaâ€" tive in the debate that the Health League of Canâ€" ada is doing a remarkably fine work and that the articles by Dr. McCullough are of outstanding serâ€" vice in rousing public attention and thought in matters of health. Many newspapers, including The Advance, feature the letters from Dr. McCulâ€" lough because they are so interesting as well as so helpful. This week an interesting letter from Dr. McCutâ€" lough refers to The Advance editorial, and adds some happy comments. "Nature," he writes, ‘"is filled with extraordinary incidents. Doubtless you know the reason why the spider, whose ingenious web is made of silken tubes filled with a sort of mucilage, a sure trap for the fly, does not get stuck in his own device. Doubtless, too, you are aware{ of the fact that the French peasant consumes with immunity all varieties of fungi, including thei deadly amanita." The height of the fly-swattingi season being past, there is time to consider the fact that the spider is smarter than the average human, for where is the honest man or woman who ‘ can truthfully say that they never got tangled up’ in their own flypaper? There doesn‘t appear to | be any reply to the deadly amanita, but the linoâ€"| type operator (not the intelligent one) suggestss that probably "the peasant has so mush room in! his stomach that nothing could do him any harm." ' Some weeks ago The Advance made editorial reference to one of the interesting and valuable articles contributed to the press by Dr. J. W. S. McCullough, of the Health League of Canada. The particular article referred to showed how modern science used parasites to destroy harmful other parasites and to combat certain diseases. Dr. Mcâ€" Cullough quoted a popular old rhyme to illustrate the point he was making, and The Advance venâ€" tured the opinion that the good doctor came mighty close to getting his bugs and fleas mixed in the procedure. Dr. McCullough did miss the mixture, and he did succeed in very interesting way in catching the popular fancy and putting his point acrass. To the unemployed in the South, The Advance would repeat what has been suggested scores of! times in the past few yearsâ€"that there is a surplus of labour in the North, and that it is reckless to! come here without prospect of work, other than the fairy tales in Southern newspapers. It is _ fectly true that there are individual cases where| men have come to the North on a long chance,? and in a day, a week, a month, have secured proâ€" fitable employment. But the same is true about unemployed going south. In the last few months; men have gone from Timmins to Toronto and seâ€" cured employment, by luck, as it were, yet surelyi Toronto newspapers would not take this to mean | that the Queen City should be advertised as a mecca for all the unemployed of the North. How{ would the Toronto newspapers like it, if the Norâ€" thern newspapers took the isolated case or two as a basis for advertising the idea that there are thousands of jobs open in Toronto? the line of bush work. The demand for bush workers does exceed the supply: But even in that line not only must the men be experienced in the work, but they must also be equipped in clothing and health and in other ways. To send men here, penniless, illâ€"fed and illâ€"clothed, or to encourage men to come here in that condition, is crugl and unfair. In commenting on Mr. Little‘s letter, The Globe and Mail suggests that a reâ€"organization of emâ€" ployment agencies may be desirable, if information on conditions in the various districts is not deâ€" pendable. "It is useless to send men without means on a blind chase," says The Globe and Mail, "and it is a public disservice to say hundreds of men are | wanted anywhere without indisputable knowledge of the facts." While this is true enough, and has been emphasized time and time again by the Norâ€" thern newspapers, it is not so much the employâ€" ment agencies that deserve the blame, as the careâ€"| less, or it may be the selfish, readiness of some in | the South to seek what seems an easy way to get ridâ€"of their unemployed. | HERE‘S C KX OOD HE ALTH THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARTIO | â€" December 24th is the last day on wt¢ livery may be started in Timmins to | delivery in time for Christmas.
