TIMMIX®S, ONTARIO Members Canadian Week!ly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association; Class ‘A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26 â€" PHONES RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO,. LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: Canadaâ€"$3.00 Per Yeart Both parties in the Ontario Legislature arei agreed that the assauit last week upon Dr. Bruce; in the corridor of the Legislature buildings shouldé be very thoroughly investigated and the guilty| parties brought to punishment. The inciaent in; which Dr. Bruce was forced to figure is another of the many recent examples of the growing tendency | to mob rule. Toronto had further examples of the | tendency in the illegal parades that attempted to | interfere with the Italian and German consulates in the city on Saturday. In recent years ’limm'ms§ has had more than its share of these parades and ; pickets. In every case they represented nothing; more than an organized minorityâ€"a very small minority at that. The trouble is, however, that this small minority, by organization, accompanied | by several forms of incipient terrorism, are able to ' make a showing out of all proportion to the imâ€"| portance of the minority. It would be well if peoâ€" ‘ ple in general would recognize the folly of toleratâ€" | ing this species of organized mob rule. It is the! very antithesis of liberty or freedom. Carried to | its logical conclusion it means eventual dictatorâ€" shipâ€"either in the guise of Communism or Fasâ€" cism. For the sake of argument, let it be agreed that groups of people with certain ideas have the| right to organize parades, then it must be admitted l that the majorities opposed to these ideas have | equal or greater rights along the same line. The impossibility of such a situation should be easy to realize. A succession of organized mobs would not make for either freedom or progress. It is someâ€"| thing like this that has happened in Montreal,‘ where pink professors who thought it was all right for Communists to parade and prattle now fairly foam at the mouth because the inevitable has hapâ€" pened, and counter mobs are seeking the same liberty and toleration that was given to paid forâ€"! eign agitators. It would be well to recognize that | the Canadians calling themselves Fascists are a | natural development of the license allowed the | Communists, and there is no doubt but that they‘ are more sincere in their aims, more patriotic in their purposes. The truth is, however, that neithâ€" | er Communism nor Fascism should be encouraged i or tolerated in this democratic country. Neitheri are needed, if the people will only realize their | powers, their privileges and their responsibilities; in democratic way. | The Advance does not believe that the chiroâ€" practors, the osteopaths or any material body of any of the others believing in drugless healing had any part in the assault upon Dr. Bruce. It is not necessary to endorse their theories to give them the justice of admitting that they are sincere, reâ€" sponsible and respectable people, with high stanâ€" dards and high ethical codes. ~A knowledge of any material number of men and women of these proâ€" fessions is sufficient to make it unthinkable that they are the type that would organize or tolerate any mob attack upon a distinguished opponent like Dr. Bruce, no matter how strongly they might disagree with his views. It is equally difficult to believe that sympathisers, without organization or definite leadership should make the form of atâ€" tack on the spur of the moment. Accordingly, the investigation into the incident at the Parliament buildings should be specially concerned with learnâ€" ing just who instigated the vicious and unjustified attack upon a distinguished Canadian. If it should prove that no organization was actually responâ€" sible for the disgraceful performance, the fact will remain that it was entirely foreign to Canadian procedure and received its inspiration from the tolerated tendency in recent years to permit exhiâ€" bitions of mob rule by minorities. â€M tm BP P PA P PP l The probabilities, however, are that a thorough | and careful investigation will disclose the fact that the assault upon Dr. Bruce was inspired by an orâ€"| ganization entirely apart from chiropractors, osâ€" | teopaths or other drugless healers. There is an | organization of foreign origin that seems to spend | its time and effort seeking chances to organize' and control mobs for any and every cause. It is this fact that has given rise to the recent evidences of Fascism in Quebec â€"â€" Canadians seeking to| counteract and fight organized troubleâ€"makers with their foreign plans of mob rule. Recently when attempt was made to picket certain stores in | town that were supposed to be selling Japanese’ goods, only one glance at the picketers was necesâ€" t sary to recognize who they were and what they were up to. They were the same people who carâ€" | ried banners here years ago condemning the very things they counsel now for others. When local | stores were picketed some months ago, it was not g retail clerks who did the picketing, despite t-he‘ banners carried. It was the same group of organâ€" l ized agitators. This group seems to be satisfied if some disorder may be staged, some mob organized. * This type of group has not been confined to Timâ€" i mins or the North. Indeed, its work is worldâ€"wide. It is because of this fact that The Advance scornâ€" ed the suggestion of a correspondent recently that all that Soviet Russia asks is to be left alone to Che Yorrupins Advaner Timmins, Ont., Monday, April 4th, 1988 PAGE PoOUR INVESTIGATION NEEDED 4 y . United Statesâ€"$3.50 Per Year | work out its own destiny. The crowds that recentâ€" ly demonstrated against Premier Chamberlain of England have been proven to have been organized by groups that make a business of cultivating agiâ€" tation and unrest. These crowds, it is now evident, showed as little of the real heart or opinion of Britain, as the mob that assaulted Dr. Bruce. The mobs on Saturday at Toronto that attempted to march on the Italian and German consulates did not display any Canadian spirit. Indeed, they eviâ€" denced the very antithesis of Canadian and Briâ€" tish procedure. There should be investigation also of these mobs and their real origin. Canada does not want any mob ruleâ€"will not tolerate mob rule. The real causes for such displays as those against Dr. Bruce and against the Italian and German consulates should be traced to their real sourceâ€"and then the source should be plugged up. That is the way to discount the growth of Fascism and Nazism.

Accordingly it will be necessary to proceed more or less slowly and in proper order with first things first. Years ago ‘The Advance was an ardent advocate of a new and proâ€" per municipal building, but believes that the peoâ€" ple were right in first building the excellent school structures that are here, and the notable hospital. More paved streets are necessary, more sidewalks, more waterworks and sewer extensions, more fire protection, more other services for one and all. Parks and playgrounds should not be forgotten, nor other comforts and conveniences to make the town healthier and happier. A community centre building would be a notable asset to the town. Also, it would be well indeed if the serious housing problem could be solved to the benefit of the health and comfort of all. All these advantages. however, must be paid for. Also it should be reâ€" membered that one by one they are being achieved. The town hallâ€"a very complete and creditable edifice it is, tooâ€"is now an actuality. There were years when, despite the crying need, it seemed to come no nearer. It was better, however, to wait a little and have a proper building without crushâ€" ing the taxpayers, or sidetracking more necessary and more pressing needs. It may be that Mr. Seyâ€" mour‘s report when it is formally received will fully justify his visit by indicating not only the pressing needs of the town, but also suggesting the order in which they should be filled. The young lady who wrote a letter to The Adâ€" vance last week objecting to the idea that all the time, effort and money expended for the benefit of youth should be centred on boys, certainly has roused much thought and comment. There has been very general approval expressed of her idea that in programmes for youth interest should be fairly evenly divided between the boys and the girls. A number of men have discussed the quesâ€" tion with The Advance and there has been remarkâ€" able unanimity in the desire expressed that the girls should not be overlooked in any way. At the same time it is admitted that while the churches and such organizations as the Girl Guides have certainly done their best in the interests of the girls, the general public attitude has apparently acquiesced in the omitting of girls from planned programmes for the young people. Several men referred to this fact and were puzzled as to why it should be the case. Mrs. Tyrrell, a former teachâ€" er and active for many years in work for girls, at present being Captain of the Girl Guides in Timâ€" mins, in a letter published elsewhere in this issue, gives clear explanation of the reasons for the apâ€" parent disregard of girls in public planned proâ€" grammes for youth.

While this may seem like an impressive figure, it would not go very far in supporting all Canada‘s hospitals if every cent of it were diverted to that good purpose. The hospitals themselves recognize the fact that if sweepstakes are used to bolster their finances, it will mean a considerable reduction in the supâ€" port from other quarters. It is all very well to point to the wonderful support given to Irish hosâ€" pitals from sweepstake money, but it should not be forgotten that the greater part of this money does not come from Ireland or the Irish people, but from the world at largeâ€"from Canada and the United States especially.

The Porcupine Business Girls‘ Club is holdinzg a meeting in the dancing dians taking chances on the old Irish gamble. It will simply mean that the game will be extended to include the new featureâ€"the Ontario Hospitals sweepstakes. Unless Ontario equals the prizes in the Irish sweepstakes (an impossibility unless more than $5,000,000 is expended) the Irish gamble Wwill still hold its old attraction. Unless Ontario follows the Irish plan of securing from other countries its support of hospitals, the hospitals in this province are not going to be swamped by the money that will come from the legalizing of this gambling. Certainly, it is hypocrisy to permit the sale of Irish Sweepstakes tickets and forbid home enterprise of similar type, but if anyone believes that the procedure of the Legislature last week solves the hospital problem, he or she will have the disposition to believe that the Ontario Liquor Control Act has removed all abuses from liquor and its sale and taken the liquor question out of politics. The Ontario Legislature has passed a bill to leâ€" galize the sale of sweepstakes tickets in Ontario. Yet only a few weeks ago a number of citizens in Timmins were fined for allowing slot machines on their premises. It‘s a queer world, this North Country! wWith Ontario having a Liquor Control Act, a Sweepstakes Control Act, still another Control Act seems to be badly needed. Spring is the time of boils. If you doubt it, have a look at any of the roads in this part of the North. Hon. Arthur W. Roebuck and some of his friends, and even a few of his enemies, are making a great outcry because Premier Hepburn would not allow Mr. Roebuck a place on the committee of the Leâ€" gislature named to investigate the Hydro Electric Power Commission during the time that Mr. Roeâ€" buck was a member of that body. Hon. Mr. Roeâ€" buck has no right to feel that way. Rather he should take the attitude of the man in the story. According to the story, when the name of one deâ€" fendant in a criminal case was called, the accused stepped down from the jury box to take his place in the prisoner‘s dock. "Didn‘t you realize that you couldn‘t serve on the jury when there was a charge against you to be tried?" the judge asked sternly. "Well, yer honour," the man replied, "I did think I was in rare luck." "Spring is here!" said the average man last week. "April fool!" said the weatherman. wWas and Become an Aviation or Marine Radio Operator. Employment prospects are the brightest for years.
