stans, or any other nation or nations, attack Canâ€" ada they will have their excuse all ready for bombing hospitals and other nonâ€"military place: in Timmins. They will point to the fact that in June, 1938, the Red Cross flag was flown from B building other than an hospital or similar instiâ€" tution. It would be no more than familiar Fascist argument to hold that because of the flag flying on a militant building like a Timmins town hall, the enemy naturally would expect that any place the flag was flying should be bombed. It would be useless to explain that the Red Cross flag flies toâ€" day for Red Cross Week in Timmins, in honour of the Society‘s work in times of peace. The people of Timmins and district, however, should note this Fortunately Red |Cross Week and Magna Carta Week do not clash in any way. No funds are reâ€" quired for Magna Carta Week, the programme of observance being under the sponsorship of the Canadian Legion. All the Legion desires in its patriotic endeavours in regard to Magna Carta Week is to rouse thought and study of British libâ€" erty and justice, to rouse the people to a realizaâ€" tion of their vital value, and to inspire due guardâ€" ing of these national treasures in these days of robbery and rapine. The Red Cross wishes also to create thought about its work, study in reference to its usefulness, and interest in the efforts made by the Society !for health and comfort. It is to be hoped that both Weeks this week will be fully obâ€" served in thoughtful way, and that in addition the Red Cross Week may result in such a flood of memâ€" bership that finances will be assured for carrying on this notable work in this part of the North. Everybody is familiar with the noble work of the Red Cross in days of war. This fact suggests that if ever the Germans or the Japanese or the Rusâ€" This week in a manner of speaking there are two weeks in one, iso far as Timmins is concerned This is Magna Carta Week and it is Red Cross Week in Timmins. Fortunately, the two do not conflict in any way, and it would be well for all to observe both "weeks" so far as they may. The Great Charter is the foundation of British liberty, and it is well to repeat what was emphasized in these ‘columns on Monday, that at the present time in the peculiar condition of the world toâ€"day, it is wise to examine the source and inspiration of British liberty and to study that liberty and its value with the thought of once more reâ€"affirming Magna Carta for the people. It is true that there are some cruel features to the North. The weather here in winter is more severe. Transportation is not so easily available, any season of the year. In summer there are blackflies, mosquitoes and other special discomâ€" forts. The country itself is not particularly hosâ€" ptable to transients. But the people are kind, gencrous, openhearted, goodâ€"natured and longâ€" suffering; yet all this only emphasizes the fact that there should be no further imposition, lest the limit be reached and continued oppression force the people to a harshness now foreign to nature, » Hubscription Rates Canadaâ€"$3 00 Per Year.

In the past few years Timmins has absorbed thousands of unâ€" employed, but the saturation point was reached years ago. For the past two or three years the unâ€" employed have averaged a thousand to twelve hundred men. At the present time it has climbed to close to two thousand, with no new employment in sight. The reasonable thing would be for the unemployed to remain in their own locality where they are known and their cases can be dealt . with on merit. In the case of employment being open elsewhere, a move could be made. But simply to run from one centre to another where no work is availab)le is at best but folly.

A jady writing to The Brantford Expositor suggests it is the "cruel:North." As a matter of fact, it is really beâ€" cause the people of ‘the North are so kindâ€"hearted and so generous that The Advance has been writâ€" ing soâ€"strongly against the influx here of the unâ€" employed. In their goodâ€"heartedness, people here are apt to forget their own people here. There are many oldâ€"timers who are unemployed at present HBurely the North‘s first duty is to these. The tranâ€" sient often parades his hard luck and so draws generous help. The oldâ€"timer hides his troubles and suffers hardship in silence. The influx of unemployed to the North has certainly been an imposition on the people of this country. There are limits to the best of generosity. There is no point in saying that conditions are worse elseâ€" where in the country.

They express eagerness to be ready to isupport the Red Cross when war is on, but "what work has the Red Cross in peacetime?" they ask. With the danger of war as imminent as it has beer | in recent years, it is pleasing to know that the Red Cross has its organization working smoothly and ready for any eventuality. The value of the Red iCross in case of war is doubled by the fact that it ‘ is always ready for any emergency. The organizaâ€" : tion, however, has not been kept intact, in idleness ‘or uselessness, as it wore. Just as in times of war it worked for humanity, succoring and aigmg the gill and the wounded, irrespective of what nation I they might represent, so the Red Cross of peaceâ€" time has devoted its wonderful organization and its talent to the cause of humanity. It stands ! ready at any moment to send skilled aid in case of any disaster or calamity. It is willing and able to | give trained help in the event of epidemics or acâ€" cidents. Scores ‘of examples to prove this could be | quoted. The North will recall the beneficial acâ€" tivities of the Red Cross when there were ill and \ injured and from forest fires. It may ’ not be so well known, but is no less a fact that the Red Cross has been a force for good and for advanâ€" | tage in connection with public health. The outâ€" !post, hospitals in the North Country have been a boon to the settlers in the sparsely settled areas, ‘and the Red Cross nurses are at all times preâ€" | pared to tramp long distances to carry to sufferers from illness or accident the benefit of medical atâ€" itention and nursing skill. The North is particuâ€". ilarly interested in this outpost hospital matter, | for these units have brought hospitalization withâ€" in the reach of over 50,000 isolated settlers, who ' would have been in sad plight indeed without this aid. Striking evidence has been given of the value of the weekly press in the matter of the publicity given the fact that ‘transients are foolish to take the time and trouble and discomfort of trekking to the North in search or work. When the memâ€" bers of the Ontarioâ€"Quebec Division of the Canaâ€" dian Weekly Newspapers Association visited the North recently, emphasis was placed on the fact that Timmins and Kirkland Lake already had thousands of unemployed men for whom there was no work available and that it was unwise and unâ€" fair for others to come here seeking work.| Many of the‘newspapermen made personal investigation of the matter while here; the facts were easily obtainable, indeed they were apparent; and the newspapermen were convinced of the truth of the idea that the rush of unemployed to the North was neither fair to the North nor to the men concernâ€" ed. Returning to the South the newspapermen at once got busy to do the North and their own readâ€" ers a favour by giving the facts of the matter. Scores of the newspapers last week made special keference to the matter, with the result that the truth must now be very generally known in Old Ontario. The transients have not stopped coming, but the publicity given the question is likely to restrain the rush before long. In any event in the future transients can be frankly told that they deserve little sympathy for they knew the facts because the weekly newspapers are» read by all. Even those too poor, or too mean, to take their home town paper hear about it from others more able or generous. It is not easy to keep anything from everybody once it gets attention in the homeâ€" town newspapers. The weekly newspapers are making an excellent job of this favour to the North. There is only one danger nowâ€"that is that those who do not want work will come here to seek it. Thatlis something that might be weil to remember,. and to tell the transients when they ask, not for work, but for a quarter for a meal or a bed, as they do quite often. ‘ This is Magna Carta Week. It might be well to consider if some of the present day taxes are pekâ€" missible under the Great Charter. More hitâ€"andâ€"run cases are reported from Toronâ€" to this week, and the police say that the culprits in these cases would have been caught had it not been for the impossibility of reading the 1938 moâ€" iGRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER; it eP P OO t L lt P ons on P PP L ME â€"AP PP fact wellâ€"that the Red Cross in days of peace has useful work to do and does it with efficiency and Most of the cases dealt with in the North by the Red Cross bring little reward,; even in publicity. There is, though, the occasional case that makes particular popular appeal and thus fortunately assists in making ‘the people realize the value of Red Cross peacetime work. Dr. A. R. Dafoe of Calâ€" lander recently set forth in impressive language the importance ‘of Red Cross work in the North Country. When the quintuplets were born, he said, a Red Cross nurse answered his appeal for aid, and this was ifollowed by further nursing asâ€" sistance. "When the Red Cross stepped in," the doctor continued, "they had no idea of the fame that would ultimately. rest on that event. They had no idea that their efforts would be rewarded, But now they will always be known as the organiâ€" zation that helped to keep these babies alive." Two weeks in oneâ€"Magna Carta Week and Red Cross Week! The one to call attention to British liberty and British justice, what they mean and what they are worth! The other to call attention to the Red Cross Society and‘its notable peacetime work! Both are worth while! Both deserve the most careful thought and study and the firmest support. THE FORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO With reference to the length of time that artificial respiration should be kept up, Mr. Wills Maclachlan points out in his article that in electrical shock cases life has been restored after artificial respiration has been kept up for eight hours. "Health" is inform»ed that in these cases there may be u«bâ€" solutely no sign of life for several hours, that there may be no pulse and no effort to breathe, that the use of the stethoscope may reveal no evidence of heart beat. Daily newspaper despatches give as an item of news the fact that a Hamilton man convicted of stealing several cans of condensed milk while unâ€" der the influence of liquor was allowed to go on suspended sentence.

It also is Magna Carta Day in Timâ€" mins. Unlike "Mother‘s Day" the annual "Fathâ€" er‘s Day" does not seem to be taken very seriously. At least "Father" usually has no extra worries on this day set apart for him. This may be just as well, for if Father took his day too seriously he might decide this year to wrest freedom and jusâ€" tice in a Magna Carta, in which case the Queen might be stopped in the Wash. In an adtdress at London, England. this week Beverley Baxter, MP., the Canadian journalist There appear to be several false im â€" pressions abroad. It seems to be a general .opinion that it is impossiole for aâ€"person to remain under wateor for more than three or four minutes and still live. The opinion is also freeâ€" ly expressed that in the absence of signs of life artificial respiration need not be continued for more than half an hour. That these false opinions are commonly held proven by the fact that in recent newspaper reporis there have been stories for less than an hour in spite Oof the fact that the unfortunate victims had only been unâ€" der water for miniutes. As a matter of fact there are many stories of persons who have beew unâ€" der the water for from even 15 minâ€" utes to half an hour being revived by means of long continued artificial reâ€" spiration. In the present issue of ‘"Health,"â€" in ~an article on â€" Artificial Respiration by Mr. Wills Maclachlan, of the Ontario Hydro Electric Power Commission, there is a story of a little sirl who was brought to life after two boys ~had dived into deep water 17 times in order to rescue her. In the official â€"booklet on "Swimming and Life Saving," issued by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, surely a reâ€" liable authority, the statement is mads that artificial respiration has been sucâ€" cessful: in cases where the drowning victim chas been in the water for 30 minutes. "The North is entitled to better roads," says The Orillia Packet and Times, "even if Southern Onâ€" tario has to wait for some of its speedways." That‘s the stuff to feed the troops, brother! tor car markers. The refusal of the Government to replace the 1938 markers with ones that can be read is a glaring example of obstinacy that shows how strangely human are the premier and his colâ€" leagues. i (Editorial from the summer number of "Health," the official organ of the Health League of Canada) "Health" in the present issue desires to call attention to a serious condition of affairs in connection with the preâ€" vention of death by drowning. In the 1935 vital statistics of Canada, there were reported 878 deaths from this cause as compared to 1,225 as a"reâ€" sult of automobile accidents. While a great deal has appeared in the public press with reference to the prevention ol automobile accidents little has been said about the equally important probâ€" lem of the prevention of drowning. "Health" submits that a large proâ€" portion© of drownings are definite.y preventable and that many of the vicâ€" tims of drowning accidents die because theâ€" necessary efforts are not made to revive them. Needless Loss of Life by Drowning Health League Starts Camâ€" paign to Lessen Summer Toll of Death Baron Shu Tomli, newly appointâ€" ed Japanese ambassador to Canada, was rebuked by Premier Mackenzie King in the House of Commons for remarks, made during a newspaper interview in Niagara Falls, concernâ€" ing China. Baron Tomli was quoted as predicting an carly defeat for China in its present struggle with Japan. Rebuked by Premier _ linâ€" n «15 minâ€" revived by "Health" urges that attention be.â€"callâ€" ed to this matter generally throughout the Dominion, that the health authoriâ€" ties of the Dominion and the es s udy the matter and issue official statements, that in the meantime n all drowning cases artificial respiraâ€" tion be kept up for four hours or longâ€" #~ and that no case which has beeu under water for less than half an hour be given up as hopeless. In view of the evidence immediately at hand "Health" has no hesitation in pointing out that there is a vast ignuâ€"â€" ance on the whole subject of the posâ€" sibilities of artiflicial respiration, that many cases of drownings have been mishandled and that there have been many unnecessary deatlis as a «esu‘t. Mr. Wills Maclachlan in his article describes the Schaefer method of artiâ€" ficial respiration which at the mormiâ€" nt appears to be the method of choice. It is pointed out, however, that with the goneral introduction of artificial rospirators in connection with the treatment of respiratory paralysis after poliamcylitis there are possibiliies in this direction which should be imâ€" mediately explored. "Health" submits that in this scoumnâ€" try of wonderful swimming facilities during the coming months there are likely to be many accidents. â€" Deaths may be averted if only public attenâ€" vion is called to the matter and action based on a proper study of the posâ€" sibilities of preventing death from drowning. These comments refer equalâ€" ly to resuscitation after electrical shock, after carbon monoxide and gas poisonings and variosu types of suftâ€" focation. Attention is particularly called to the question of drowning beâ€" cause it is during the summer season that most drownings take place. sibilities drowning y LO ~I "Health" suggests that there should be an educational program commenced at once with a view especially to the prevention of accidents by drowning, that there should be far more general instruction in methods of resuscitation, thagt in all places where drownings are likely to take place there should kte posters of warning and instruction, MODERN, EXPFRIENCED BANKING SERVICE ; ; , THE OUTCOME OF 120 YFEARS®‘ SUCCESSPUTL OPER ATI who has won fame in England as an authority on public affairs, gave the comforting assurance that while there is still danger of trouble over the Czechoslovakian situation, the chances seem . to be that Europe will escape further war at this time. He based his opinion on a visit to Czechosloâ€" vakia and Austria and his reading of the temper of the people of these nations. Mr. Baxter is conâ€" vinced that the great factor for peace is the fact that Czechoslovakia is prepared and determined to fight to the'very death, and that Germany is not prepared for the fierce struggle that would be in â€" evitable should German forces attempt to invade Czechoslovakia. It may be added that Mr. Baxâ€" ter was horrified at the unspeakable brutality that he found was being inflicted by the Nazis on the Jews in Austria. For this, he blamed the Ausâ€" trians rather than the Germans.
