TIMMIN®, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Assochition; Ontarioâ€" Quebes: Newspaper Association; Class ‘A" Week!y Group He was a true humorist who said that the greatâ€" est race he ever saw was the human race. It is men devoid of saving humour who are making so much trouble at the present time by trying to set race against race in the human race,. Some time ago the Germans, led by an Austrian paperhanger. discovered for themselves that they belonged to the greatest race on earthâ€"the Aryans. The dicâ€" tionary defines "Aryan" as "Indoâ€"European," while the encyclopedia goes a step further, thus: "Aryan Recently attempt has been made to start this Aryan race in Italy. The Italian Minister of Popuâ€" lar Cuiture has solemnly informed the Italian peoâ€" ple that they are Aryan and that the Aryans are a superior race. No doubt it is only Italian courâ€" tesy that prevents the Italians replying in a body, "so what?" Modern inventions have added to the popularity of the saying that this is a small world. But it has been a small world for many a year. It has been so small a world that the races have so intermingled that the talk of pure races is little better than silly. While Feuhrer Hitler was at the height of his vaporings about the purity of the Aryans, there were reports current even in Gerâ€" many that Hitler himself had more than a drop of Jewish blood in his veins. Whether this suggestiov had any basis of fact in his specific case, the truth is that the insinuation had broad basis with the people in general, Even a cursory reading of hisâ€" tory will prove how little claim any race can truly make for purity of strain. It is interesting to note that while some Euroâ€" pean nations are thus striving to find pride in unâ€" ‘mixed blood, the British tendency has been to glory in the different races that have been mixed to make the people of the Empire. A sure way to stir British pride is to recall the Boers who have built a loyal section of the Empire in South Afriâ€" ca, or the fact that one of the greatest prime minâ€" isters of the Empire was of Jewsh parentage, or the truth that one of the most of Canada‘s premiers was of French origin. To British culture, to British literature, music, art, industry, comâ€" merce, all the races of the earth have contributed. They have been part of an Empire that has striven to make a new race of many races, each contribâ€" uting something good, and the result being the ideal of gathering together the best thoughts and aspirations of many diverse natonalities under a common banner of liberty, progress and humanâ€" ity. It seems «o be a better idea, a more practical plan than the further division of a small world into rival races. In Monday‘s edition The Advance called attenâ€" tion to additions to two different buildings in the main business fire zone where the building byâ€"law seemed to be applied to the expense and inconâ€" venience of the one and to the advantage of the other. The one addition was built of fireâ€"resistâ€" ing material, the other is of frame structure. The one building is known as the Dr. McInnis building, and Dr. McInnis was for several years mayor o Timmins. In the small addition to the old sectior of his building he complied with what is generally believed to be the strict requirements of the buildâ€" ing byâ€"law. The other building has a light frame addition recently added, and if such an addition complies with the requirements of the byâ€"law, scores of people in town have been put to unnecesâ€" sary expense and inconvenience under the excuse that the byâ€"law demanded a certain type of conâ€" struction to conform to the byâ€"law. It is no anâ€" swer to suggest that Dr. McInnis may not hold the title deed of the property that bears his name. It would need a search of the title deeds at Cochâ€" rane to show that the present mayor holds the title deeds of the other property referred to, as the mayor‘s own statement on what he owns or does not own can scarcely be depended upon in view of his public denial of ownership in another case some years ago. That, however, is all beside the point. â€" The two additions referred toâ€"the one of fireâ€"resisting materal and the other of the light Timmins, Ont., Thursday, July 21st, 1938 Oe Vorcrupine Aduvance Published Every Monday and Thursday by GEQO.

To suggest that theâ€" addition to the mayor‘s building complies with the byâ€"law is to indicate that the general public has been badly deceived in the matter of the building byâ€"law. People in genâ€" eral have been put to expense and inconvenience to comply with the supposed requirements of the byâ€" The popular opinion is that discrimination and favouritism have been shown in such matters for some time. Officials are generally relieved from responsibility for this. It is a a common belief that the recommendations of officials are overâ€" ridden in one way or another. This brings up the question whether the mayor and council have the power to permit breaches of different byâ€"laws. Has the mayor or council any authority to allow | variation from the restrictions of the building byâ€" law? Apart from the fact that mayor and council should be the most earnest and urgent in seeing that the byâ€"laws of the town are fairly and fully enforced, have they any power in law to alter the | terms of any municipal laws without amending | the byâ€"law concerned? ! There has been a tendency in recent years for the provincial government to interfere in various ways with municipal affairs, The Advance does not think this interference is justified or that it is in the interests of democracy or the public good. But if ever such interference were warranted, it would be in the case like that under consideration where two opposing laws seeemed to be enforced in the one municipal matter, to the disadvantage of some,. and perhaps to the danger of the people in general. It might be a good thing if the On â€" tario Fire Marshal would take cognizance of the case under review, where there is one law for mayors, and another for exâ€"mayors, and where everything seems to have consideration but the interests of the public. The Ontario Fire Marshal would have no consideration except for the genâ€" eral safety, and this seems to be a case where his authority might enforce a fair deal for all. History is reputed to be the greatest little reâ€" peater in the world. Years ago history told about the Genoese gentleman, Christopher Columbus, who started out by sailing ship for India and landâ€" ed up in America. Presentâ€"day history repeats the tale, substituting a cheap airship for the sailâ€" ing vessel, and noting that a United States youth with the name of Douglas P. Corrigan says he started out from New York to find a way to Caliâ€" forniaâ€" and landed up at Dublin, Ireland. Young Corrigan made the solo passage of 2800 miles in 28 hours and 13 minutes. Corrigan was more Scottish than Columbus, his ship only costing about $900, and fuel and food for the trip taking the small amount of $70.. Of course, history failâ€" ed to repeat in having the new discoverer backed by any queen, and so he had to finance himself on the trip. History did repeat, however, so far as the solo fight over the Atlantic was concerned. Col. Lindbergh flew alone to Paris in 1927, and Wiley Post also made the Atlantic air trip alone from New York to Europe in 1933. Like Columbus, this lad Corrigan had trouble with his compass and the restricted amount of other nautical equipâ€" ment on deck. Travelling at a hundred miles an hour, scurvy could not harm him, for even in this age a hundred miles an hour is no scurvy rate. History repeats very clearly in the fuss made over the young flier, and the pages of newspaper space given to his exploit. To do this particular repeatâ€" ing, history did not need much memory, as it is only a few days since all the acclaim was about anâ€" other flierâ€""Hughes" was the name in case anyâ€" one has forgotten. History was repeated in the landing. The naâ€" tives on this continent were much surprised when Mr. Christopher Columbus dropped in on them one day in 1492.

They are either continually increasing or decreasing. And while it is a temptation to charge the market, or pot, hunters with the crime of proâ€" miscuous destructive of certain species, the fact remains that most birds and animals live in more or less regular cycles of increase and decrease. It is now generally admitted by those making a close study of the subject that overcrowding, disease, and lack of proper food automatically cut down numbers and keep them under conrtrol until interlocking cirecumstances permit the animals to these advantages their numbers. Fluctuations of th ferent wild animals abundance have alw challenged the scie average man only k1 ence. of the. larget abundance of the sr astonished. When mice are common, for instance, foxes grow swiftly in numbers and leave ptarmizan and similar birds alone, so that they, in <turn, multiply rapidly. Then when sheer numbers threaten to tip the scales nature provides means whereby the mice lessen in numbers, as do the foxes and ptarmigan. Wolves that had been content with mice now turn on <the caribou and the whole balance of nature scems in jeopardy. The balance of wild life is so evenly maintained and the lives of the most insignificant so inextricably bound jlup with others, the rupture of a single connection in the complicated structure frequently spells disaster to whole species. This dependence of one species on another is really nothing new. As a mattrr of fact it was a big question in the last century.

The abundance of bumbleâ€"bees depends, in a large measure, on the field mice which, inâ€" cidently, feed on the nests of the bees. The number of field mice near villages and small towns is largely dependent on the number of cats, so that it folâ€" lows that bumbleâ€"bees are more abunâ€" dant near such places, to the advantage, of course, of the clover. It is difficult to say which is the more heinous crime, annthilating speâ€" cies or introducing foreign ones into an unsuspecting country. While there are undoubtedly exospâ€" tions to every rule it is generally conâ€" cedecd that so evenly balanced are the scales between indigenous animals and the food they require the addition of a strange species is likely to disrupt that fine balance and play havoc with more than one innocent animal. Could the sportsman who in a moâ€" ment of enthusiasm introduced ra®sbits into Australia have foreseen the disâ€" astrous results of his experiment it is reasonable to suppose that he would have promptly abandoned the project. What these little strangersâ€"Australâ€" ians give them a stronger name than thatâ€"do to the economic life of hat country is astounding. It is figured, for instance, that since half a dozen rabbits can eat about the same amount of grass as a full grown sheep the milâ€" lions of rabbits in the country, if left unmolested, would quite easily dispose of every blade of grass in Australia. Generally speaking, annihilation of a species has farâ€"reaching consequences. Not only is it complete, but the lives of beth flora and fauna in the immediate vicinity are affected for years to come. A rather remarkable illustration of this was to be found in the shortage f clams suddenly discovered by pearl button manufacturers some years ago. And what, you ask, have pearl buttons , to do with clams and the annihilation of a species? A whole lot. Because, you soe, it is from clams that the manuâ€" | facturers obtain their buttons. Inestiâ€" cation disclosed the fact that pot fish-‘l ermen had recklessly depeleted the supâ€" | i l ply of groundâ€"feeding fish, such as suckers and the like, thus unwittingly j destroying the clams that pass a part of their lives attached to them. Canadians, as a whole, fully appre-‘ ciate the value of wild life in the conâ€"| fines of the Dominion and heartily enâ€" ! t | dorse both the conservation and the establishment of game sanctiuaries. In every community, however, there still remains a certain number who if notI actually â€" engaged in _ promiscuous slaughter are ready to do so if restraint l is removed. And no wild thing is safe until such as these have been convincâ€" ed of the reasonableness of conservaâ€" tion. (From Northern News) Local restaurant owners are faced with a problem of the transient in a far bigger manner than any of the rest of the public. . Every day, proâ€" prictors claim, there are men who come in with the timeâ€"worn approach of asking for a job, to beg for a meal. The sentiments of most of the owners was voiced by one manager who said, "Ve can‘t let these men come in from off the street and work for us, the customers wouldn‘t stand for it. The best we can do is hand them a dime or a quarter and hope there won‘t be too many come in." Yesterday in police court Pete Crillis, of a local eating place, was hailed into police court on a tcharge of nonâ€"payâ€" ment of wages. The case was dismissed when the magistrate the complainant was a man whom Mr. Gilâ€" lus had taken in off the street becaluse of his church affiliations, and had alâ€" lowed him to sit around the kitchen withn a view to learning the trade. "He didn‘t work, he did more damage than good," the proprietor said. "The man was starving and kept eating conâ€" tinually. It wasn‘t a question of the amount of wages claimed, which was small, but the fact that ‘working‘ the restaurants is an organized racket among some of these gangs of men." The type of restaurant doesn‘t save or help it from the problem. The grub rustlers passing through town would just as soon eat in a place with shiny ebony front in the downtown section than in a side street quick lunch. Kirkland Cafes Claim They are Victims of Transients effective when an election comes along Those who seem anxious to hurry Britain into war with one side or the other in the Spanish conâ€" flict should try to control their warlike feelings. If they would patiently wait a few days, there might be a much wider scope for choice. At preâ€" sent there is only the war in Spain and the disâ€" turbance in China. Naturally there is difficulty of selection in picking sides with only two rows in progress. There is chance, however, that there may be trouble between Germany and Czechosloâ€" vakia; also between Russia and Germany; not to overlook the chances of a war between Japan and Russia. It would look foolish, surely, for Britâ€" ain to rush into battle now, when the probabilities are that there will be good excuses for fighting at any time. In the present state of the world, so far as the war business is concerned, the old theory of shopping early and avoiding the rush does not apply.
