at the end of comparatively long articles carried the line, "to be continued in our next issue." One newspaper devoted practically the whole of the editorial page to matter about the North. This was the famous editorial page of The Fergus Newsâ€" Record, where Hugh Templin writes a full page results from the visit, but these results are almost immediately apparent. One of the big problems at the moment for Timmins and Kirkland Lake is the continual flood of people from the South seeking employment. Timmins at the present has beâ€" tLween 1500 and 2000 unemployed. This means that not only do those coming here from the South stand a very slim chance of securing work, but the odd one who does so simply robs someone here beâ€" fore him of the place. The problem of caring for the transients is a serious one and m costly one. All this was carefully explained to the newspaperâ€" men on their visit here.‘ Most of them checked up on the matter and secured a personal knowledge of tbne true situation. The result is now apparent. Over fifty weekly or semiâ€"weekly were received at The Advance office this week, all givâ€" ing able accounts of the visit to the North, and all making reference to the unemployment situation. Many of them had editorial reference to the quesâ€" tion, and took occasion to warn their readers of the folly to themselves and the unfairness to the North of rushing to the North without first being assured of a chance of employment. It would take too much space to‘list all the newspapers that felt this information was among the most important facts they had gathered on their visit. Some of those making (special reference to the question were:â€"The Free Press, of Acton; The Packet and Times, Orillia; The Banner, Orangeville; The Heraild, Comber; The Gazette, Dunnville; The Star, ‘Paris; The Gleaner, Huntingdon; The Statesman, Bowmanville; The Conservator, of Brampton. Some of these newspapers have large circulation; all of them have unusual influence. The weekly newspaper has a distinct place; it reaches the hearts of its readers, as it were, and its power is immeasurably greater than its apparent circulation. The combined circulation of the newspapers now specially interested in the North through the recent visit would run well into the hundreds of ‘thousands, and because of the closer touch between reader and weekly would excel equal millions of daily newspaper cirâ€" enlation. | The newspapermen were delighted with their visit to Timmins and Kirkland Lake. Scores of them have taken the time and trouble to send perâ€" sonal notes of appreciation; all of them on the trip have expressed their delight in the trip in the interesting accounts published in their columns. Last week news of the North was featured in all the weekly newspapers of the South. Practically all of them give promise that future issues will a:so feature the North. Many of them last week found they could not fully describe the trip and the thoughts arising from it in the one issue, and When visitors from the South or East tour the North this country looks for benefits and advanâ€" tages from the greater knowledge of the possibiliâ€" ties and the problems of the North. When delegaâ€" tions :of various kinds and sorts have visited the WNorth in the past, there has been much talk of the value to North and South of better understanding and the feeling of friendship that comes from such visits. In the past, however, there has been a tenâ€" dency in the North to feel forced to the conclusion that results from these visits are not always apâ€" parent. On the other hand, there is little doubt but that the total effect of all these tours and delâ€" egations has been to give the people of the rest of the province a more complete understanding of the North and its needs. While the results of all these tours and visits may not be as apparent as some would wish, it is no more than logical to beâ€" lieve that their final result has been of much value to the North. to seek more taxes of one sort or another. From such a situation, it is pleasant to turn to that following the recent visit of the members of the Ontarioâ€"Quebec division of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association to the North.‘ Not only does there appear to be direct and desirable On one occasion the Timmins Board of Trade decided that one visiting body should hear little about the needs of the North, but rather the emâ€" phasis should be placed on what the South was reâ€" ceiving from the Northâ€"in the way of business, trade, taxes, employment, new wealth. It was shown very clearly that it was in the direct interâ€" ests of the South to help develop the Northâ€"that for every dollar directly spent on roads or for other purposes, the North would return several dollars, some indirectly, in the way of new business, new industry, new employment, new weath. It was felt that direct results might ibe expected from this. Instead, the peculiar reaction seemed to be that the South should saddle all its unemployed upon ‘the North, without previous arrangement or support, and that the North was an excellent place to seek more taxes of one sort or another.

If there everiwas an age of miracles in the world, the present is the time. People toâ€"day have about as many wonders as Chinese culture claimed several thousand years ago. In the lifetime of the man of middle age toâ€"day, there have been mirâ€" acles enough to astound any people not born in a sophisticated age when wonders are taken as a matter of course. The modern printing press, raâ€" dio, aviation, the telephone, electrical devices, and a score or more of other developments beyond even the dreams of a generation or two ago, fail to imâ€" press the world toâ€"day. They are simply dubbed inventions and accepted as routine of life. Man has gained such a bonny conceit in himself that he takes the credit and never thinks anything needs any supernatural explanation. Even the jveritable mess made of state affairs by the nations in genâ€" eral fails to shake man‘s faith in his own omnisâ€" cience. The fact that evil inventions keep pace with the useful ones, and the latter are often put to undesirable and destructive uses does not curb human vanity. Another amusing thing about these miraculous inventions is the idea that the latest one is the last wordâ€"that it wili supersede everything that has gone before. Yet the old world wags on, little difâ€" It may be that there are faults and failings in the â€"British system. Its very humanity suggests that. after all the British systemâ€"founded on Magna Cartaâ€"is the best plan of government and life yet devised to meet the needs of those who seek liberty and justice for the individual, who place the safety and the happiness of all the peoâ€" ple before ‘that of any nonâ€"human entity called the State, who believe that the people are greater than the state, and the state‘s only justification for existence is to protect and ‘serve the people. It is true that in recent years there has been a steady encroachment on the liberty of the subject. For this very reason it is well to reâ€"affirm the Great Charter. The Legion is doing one more patâ€" riotic service in sponsoring Magna Carta Weekâ€" calling attention to the foundation stone of British liberty and justice, and the need to preserve that foundation stone against all assaults. Communism and Fascism put the state above the individual, and the state in such cases means no more than a group, a clique, "that delay and deny justice to the individual," and that "imprison. and exile without due trial by their peers." British people have for centuries taken nride in their individual freedom and the same justice for all, rich and poor alike. ‘"An Englishman‘s house is his castle." "One law for the rich and the poor." These have been common sayings dear to the heart of the people. Liberty and justice for the individâ€" ual have been in wider measure the advantage of the Britisher over those of other nations. Anda the foundation of this goes back to the Great Charter â€"the Magna Cartaâ€"the pledge wrung from King John in 1215723 years agoâ€"that none should be imprisoned or exiled, without trial by their peers, that justice should not be sold, refused or delayed; in a word, that liberty is the right of every indiâ€" vidual within the law, and that the people rule, not kings, aristocracy or dictators. The reference books note that the Magna Carta has been confirmed many times since The active interest shown in the observance of Magna Carta Week by the Canadian Legion indicates that the returned soldiers realize in their proven patriotism that toâ€"day is a fitting day for once more confirming the Great Charter. The Legion has emphasized recently the .great truth that "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." Toâ€"day there are innumerable efforts being made to enâ€" croach on the liberty of the people. It is not kings or nobles who seek to curb liberty toâ€"day. The atâ€" tempt rpomes from other sources. If individual liberty, if rule by the people, is to be preserved, then there must be vigilance, indeed, toâ€"day. At the moment, there is Communism and Fascism seeking to secure some standing in this land. Let no man of British birth or adoption fool himself. Either bf these isms means the end of liberty and justice as British people have known them in greater or lesser measure these 723 years.

The Orillia Packet and Times devoted the editorial page to reference to the newspaper convention and the trip to the North.

Mrs. C. V. Kearns, Toke street, who for theâ€"past three weeks has been unâ€" dergoing treatment for jaundice in a Toronto. hospital, is reported as vuroâ€" gressing favourably and was able to leave the institution on Saturday. She will spend some time at her home in Penetang before returning to Timmins. The latest inventionâ€"and a |very miracle it seemsâ€"is called the Sesmagrapn. It will likely be heralded as putting printers, linotype operators, telegraphers and a lot others on relief. The fact that the world will go about as usual, even after the Sesmagraph, is perhaps the real miracle. A less sophisticated people, however, would be conâ€" tentito call the Sesmagraph a miracle. By use of this device newspaper copy made on a typewriter in New York was translated, as it were, into linoâ€" type composition, and this in turn was transmitted to Charlotte, North Carolina, where a wired linoâ€" type reproduced automatically in type the materâ€" lal typed in New York. The typewriter used in New York was a standard machine, with a device added that every time it struck ‘off a letter, it also printâ€" ed a code figure of one to six dots. Each line of copy contained five to seven wordsâ€"the number that appears in a line of type one column wide. The pages of this typewriter copy were fed into a transmitter in which a photoâ€"electric cell picked out the coded dots representing the letters, and sent corresponding impulses over the wire to Charâ€" lotte. At Charlotte in the composing room of The Observer, a standard printer device, equipped with special type bars, reconverted the impulses into letters anda their accompanying code dots. This sheet, identical with the original in the New York office, went into the sesmagraph unit attached to a linotype, and another photoâ€"electric cell transâ€" formed the dots into impulses that operated the typesetting machine. As a result of all this, there was the same linotype material converted from typewriter copy and set up in type on linotype maâ€" chines in New York and Charlotte, N.C., respecâ€" tively. The plan embraces the idea that what has been actually done in regard to New York and Charlotte may be done in connection with New York and hundreds of other centres simultaneousâ€" ly. Surely, that would be a miracle, even for this modern world. Indeed, it would be a miracle alone if everyvbody understood what was described from Councillor and Mrs. Emile Bruns and their young dalughter spent weekâ€"end camping out near Cochra Miss Jean Patterson, of Tor spending a few weeks visiting home of Miss Margaret Easton The Salvation Army held a suc ful tag day last week as the â€" pletion of their annual campaign ferent. .

Rev. W. M. Mustard performed the marriage ceremony in the preésâ€" ecnce of many friends of the popular vyoung couple, the church being charinâ€" ingly decorated for â€"the occasion.

Mrs. Pearl Belanger, sister of the bride, and Mrs. Barlow, poured tea. In the evening, the bride and groom received their many friends at a reâ€" ception in the Hollinger Recreation hall. They were the recipients of many loveâ€" ly and useful gifts, as well as the best wishes of their friends. Immediately after the wedding cereâ€" mony, the bride and groom received cablegrams of congratulations and good wishes from friends in England at the front from the collar to the waist, wore an embroidered tulle veil, caught in a coronet of orange blossoms, and carried a large bouquet of talisâ€" man roses, carnations and maiden hair f>rn.

He has support for his theory in a deâ€" spatch last week from Carlowville, Illinois. In that town, Arnold Garlo and Melvin Miller were cleanâ€" ing farm implements with gasoline. A goat came along and took a drink of the gasoline.in the pan that was (being used. One of the men later threw a match on the ground, and the nosey goat had a sniff at that, with the result that the goat‘s whisâ€" kers soaked in gasoline took fire and the final reâ€" sult that the ‘goat itself exploded into smithereens. At first glance the story looks newâ€"newsâ€"but changing the names, the places and the date, there‘s nothing much different to it and the older story sung by Jimmy Cowan about Paddy McGinâ€" ty‘s goat. There is a controversy in progress at present at Ottawa in regard to placing a curving of a beaver ard nine young beavers over the entrance to the Parliament building. Experts have come forward with the story that a beaver‘s {amuly is usually two or three, and never more than four, and so the nine crarved beavers are too many of a good thing. These wouldâ€"be debunkers should remember that this is Canada. They should get out of the bunk! Wake up! Canada has its own rules in such matâ€" Four may be the limit of a beaver‘s family elsewhere. Usually the human family is limited to one or two at a time, and never more than three or four.

Daily newspapers recently published large group pictures of the wedding party of a Vanaderbilt and a Hudsonâ€"both in the multmriillioraire class.
