Very evidently the intention of the byâ€"law is to Fevent the building of additions, no less than new Eructures, of light material that may create fire If this intention is not to be carried out in e enforcement of the byâ€"law, then, for the purâ€" ses of the byâ€"law everybody should be considerâ€" as "friends of the ma'yor”. and everything for 3ex'ybody should be high, wide and handsome. sAll this seems reasonable enough and fair mough to the ordinary citizen. The trouble is that The Advance has called attention to it at an fortunate time. It is true that the mayor‘s dition is all completed, but there may be friends who are in line for additions or new buildings and these may not desire to have some of the irksome ovisions apply to their cases. So far as the pubâ€" l# in general is concerned, however, there should one byâ€"law for alil, and the byâ€"law should be applied equally to one and allâ€"mayors and exâ€" n@.yors. are continuing and extending their campaign O ecurb the crime courteously termed "highâ€"gradâ€" ing." It might be better if the words "stealing gold" were more generally used. With the pracâ€" tice called by its proper term, theft, highâ€"grading might lose some of the leniency with which it has been viewed by the public. It is difficult to underâ€" stand why the theft of gold ore should be any more respectable than the theft of anything else of value, but the fact remains that the use of terms such as, ‘thighâ€"grading" Kas had an odd psycholoâ€" gical :ke‘ct on the public viewpoint.

That sort of illâ€"tempered rot may seem scarcely worthy of notice, yet it is hard to resist the temptation to say that the mayor would be a much happier man had newspapers in which he has been interested in Timmins during the years been as little likely "to go on relief" as The Advance. Indeed, most of the mayor‘s sorrow is due to the fact that despite his wilful wishing and active opposition, The Advance continues to advanceâ€"paying taxes, even on coal chutes,â€"payâ€" ing decent wages, supporting local industries, and making an honest profit on business. _In regard to the alleged remarks of the mayor about "squealing", it must be frankly admitted that in such a matter as "squealing" the mayor is a recognized expert..

This would seem to be in the nature of a record. This year it is hoped that the record will be continued. The tax rate for public school supporters this year at Kapuskasing is 42.30 mills, and 47.40 mills for â€"indéed, neither Mr. Bull nor Mrs. Bull has been charged with any wrong of any kind. It is not even stated that they are accused of evading any taxation. The nearest approach to any reason for the action of the authorities seems to be that officials may fear that there may be dispute as to what the province may be able to collect in the way of imposts. In any case, without trial or charge, the province appeared to step in and take charge of bank accounts. And this happened only a few weeks after Ontario had so joyously and loudly celebrated Magna Carta Week. Yet Toronto newspapers say no word about what happened in its own confines, but has the impudence to prate about the soâ€"called Padlock Law in Quebec. It may be that the authorities were quite within their fights in the Perkins Bull case, but in that event â€"if Magna Carta still means anything â€" there should be no such rights until there is a trial of some sort, or at least a charge. Larder Lake is planning the organization of a branch of the Canadian Legion in that newâ€"old community. Returned soldiers have carried into the days of peace the gift of doing what they set out to do, so it may be taken for granted that they will succeed in organizing the Canadian Legion at Larder Lake. Here‘s hoping that the Larder Lake branch will do as much good for the soldiers there and for the community as has been accomâ€" plished during the years by the Timmins branch of the Canadian Legion. Timmins at present is discussing the question of whether there are two laws in this townâ€"one for mayors and the other for exâ€"mayors. There has been no discussion in Toronto, however, on the question of whether there is one law for the rich and another for the poor.. It is an odd fact that not a single Toronto newspaper has had a single editorial word to say about a most unusual proceeding that suggests either one law for the rich and another for the poor, or serious encroachâ€" ment on the Aberty and safety of both. The case referred to is the reported action of the province in stopping of all payments from the bank acâ€" counts of Mr. Perkins Bull and his wife. An Oshaâ€" wa man who had received a cheque for $3 from the wealthy Mr. Bull was unable to cash it, beâ€" cause he was informed that the authorities had tied â€"up the bank accounts of Mr. and Mrs. Bull. There has been no trial in the courts of their peers GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER To the casual observer the Attorneyâ€"General has chosen a very timely season to prosecute special activities to curb highâ€"grading. At the present time reports suggest that there is more highâ€"grade available than at any previous time in the history of the Porcupine. It is true that the larger mines have adopted methods to make it difficult for highâ€"grade to be stolen from the mines. The protection of the smaller mines is still more imâ€" portant. One mine in the district is reported to have samples from one part of the vein running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars per ton in gold. Some of these newer mines are said to have enough highâ€"grade ore in sight to finance development. If the highâ€"grader gets this rich ore, instead of the mine, the development of the country suffers. Accordingly, it is particularly in the public interest to curb highâ€"grading. Only a very small number of mineâ€"workers engage in this form of crime. With public realization of the fact that highâ€"grading is theft, the number will be still further reduced. The honest minerâ€"the vast majorityâ€"will be benefitted in every way. The only losers will be the few men who have made a racket of this form of crime. | ed as a public injury has had good effect in estabâ€" | lishing a better public opinion on this form of \ crime. | _ Despatches at the weekâ€"end suggest that the 'eflorts to repress thefts of goid are being carried ;on quietly bué effectively. "It would not be surâ€" | prising," says one despatch, "if arrests were made in the near future." Should such arrests be made, it will help establish a proper attitude on the part ?of the public if the evidence at the trials shows ' that the best methods were used in discovering the crimes. In the past, the methods of some of the undercover agents were such as to alienate public sympathy. This has added greatly to the difficulty of securing convictions before juries. At one court at Haileybury, for instance, agents swore that they bought gold from one man to secure a conviction, while in another case at the same court, it was admitted under oath that attempt was made to secure a conviction by selling gold. 'If agents thus admit both buying and selling gold i to secure convictions, it is difficult to secure right )public viewpoint. There has been a public susâ€" picion that traffic in highâ€"grade gold ore did not follow very strict ethical lines so far as some of the agents were concerned. That is a very mild way of discussing a muchâ€"discussed matter. With provincial police actively concerned in the invesâ€" tigation and securing of evidence public confidâ€" ence should be restored to some extent, TW W A Y The Sudbury Star started the matter by pubâ€" lishing an article saying that many Sudbury men patronized the beauty parlours in the hopes of improving their appearance. Then along comes The North Bay Nugget to suggest that North Bay men are too heâ€"manly to indulge in any such aids separate school supporters. It may also be noted that Kapuskasing does not conceal taxation by such devices as imposts on coal chutes and signs. The South Porcupine correspondent of The Advance calls attention to the remarkable record of Mr,. Alexander McNevin, of Copper Cliff. Mr. McNevin, who is the father of Mr. McNevin, of South Porcupine, is in his 89th year, but healthy and alert, and for 33 successive years has been a member of the Copper Cliff town council. Whether any other municipal councillor in Canada can show as long a record of public service or not, the record of Mr. McNevin is one deserving of special mention and special honour. There seems to be agitation for justice to every minority, except the minority who pay the taxes. Mr. Gladstone Murray, manager of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, is quoted as saying that the North desires more "hiâ€"deâ€"ho" and less "highâ€" falutin stuff‘"‘ on the daily radio programme. It would be interesting to know where Mr. Murray secured this idea. Was it from the radio owners who pay their licenses? Or was it from the "hiâ€" deâ€"ho‘"‘ boys connected with radio programmes and radio stations? "It is as important that fish rat, just as it is us." "Gas, oll and milk factories are not much use, for they take away the cxygine which the fish need"â€"nadâ€" ‘"The pollution which the different factories dispose of gathers in the lungs of the fish, making them unable to breathe." "The farmer should not plow too close to the bank of the stream; beâ€" "In the olden days there were so many Passenger Pigeons in Ontario and the streams flowing into it that the early settlers thought these riches would last forever"â€"butâ€" "The Passenger Pigeon has become »xtinct except for stuffed specimens." "I think the head man of Canada should see about it, or pretty soon we won‘t have any fish left"â€"andâ€" "It would be too bad if the fishing grew so extinct that it would not atâ€" tract the tourists." "Why isn‘t there as many fish as in the days of Cabot?"â€"wellâ€" "You nor I know not what fish must stand "Fishes must find their own food while we have ours just handed to us‘ "Conservation means we who are livâ€" ing today have no right to kill the game, furâ€"bearing animals, the fish and other natural life"â€"soâ€" ‘"‘They should have a society someâ€" thing like the Humane Society, except that it would protect fish instead of animals." The Advance gave considerable space and attention to the essay contest on the conservation of fish, and accordingâ€" ly it may not be out of place to give som» of the humour of the essays by the boys. The Ontario Dept. of Game and Fisheries has combined in narraâ€" tive form the following gems of humâ€" or and philosophy from the essays subâ€" mitted by public school pupils in the recent essay competition :â€"â€" Humor in Essays on Fish Conservation Boys in Provincial Contest Made Some Fine Bullsâ€" eyes.

What would he have added to his seathing words had he lived to know of the case in North Bay last week. A man formerly employed in lumber camps but more recently on the list of unemployed died at North Bay, and the undertaker conducting the funeral went to conâ€" siderable trouble to seek out men acquainted with the deceased to act as pallbearers. This thoughtâ€" ful undertaker found four men who were apparâ€" ently friends of the dead man and these men were asked to attend on the day of the funeral to assist as pallbearers in the last sad rites. They arrived at the undertaking parlours in due course, but their first enquiry was as to the pay they would receive. They admitted acquaintance with the man who had died, but one of the four expressed the apparent opinion of the other three, in the words: "If there‘s no money in it, you have the wrong gang." Another of the four phrased it:â€" "No pay! No pallbearers!" The undertaker, who was being poorly paid for his own services, hurriedâ€" ly conscripted members of his staff and friends to act as pallbearers. The refusal of the alleged friends of the dead man to give their services for the last sad rites of the dead man was surely a sample of inhumanity and meannesgs. The kindâ€" ness of the undertaker and his consideration in seeing that the friendless man had decorous burial offset in some measure the greed of the soâ€"called friends. to masculine beauty. It is more likely that the Sudbury men are simply more hopeful. Cubs can show their appreciation for their Cubmaster in very much the same wayâ€"stay right on and become a King Scout. Cubmasters are proud of what you make yourselves in Scouts. Cubs salute you, Alkelas! Here is some very important inforâ€" mation. The camporee â€" committre learned that because the majority of the patrols in the district were short some of their members due to holidays out of town and summer jobs, only a few would be able to take in the Camporie. The committee felt this very unfair to Scouts who would like to go but could not because the rest of their patrol was not here. So, with this in mind, they disbanded the idea of a camporee as outlined, and subâ€" stitute instead, a weekâ€"end camp for the district. Every Scout is invited to take part in this short camp. See your Scouter. Organize temporary patrolsâ€" Game of Scouting are actually someâ€" thing real to you. Show him that you mean to try to grow up to be the kind of man he is. Today there are thousands of men in Scouting who are leading Scout Troops, who came into Scouting themselves as Tenderfoot Scouts and who have stayed in Scecuting ever since because of the infliuence of their Scoutmasters,. Your Scoutmaster rates a tribute like this. Salute! I'I‘ isn‘t necessary to check back over vital statistics or do any reâ€" search work to know that thousands of new babiles made their debut into this world during the past few months. In fact, a lot of babies were born yesterday. How many parents have taken snapshots of their new arrivals? The chances are that the majority have been so busy watching the antics of the little rascals that they have completely overlooked the fact that babies have a habit of growing up and changing right before parents‘ fond eyes without their seeing the changeâ€"in size, disposition, looks or actions. Cute things the baby may do today may be completely forgotten by him tomorrow. A snapshot would preâ€" serve that little baby gesture for years to come. Of course you want many soâ€"called "record" pictures of the youngster but for the most part make an effort to snap the baby when he is doing something. Sooner or later he will discover that he has toes to play with. Snap a picture of him when his tiny little hands have a "strangle hold" on his chubby foot. You will cherish that picture in years to come. In a baby‘s life there is the first time for everything. There‘s his first smile; the first time he reaches out his little arms to be taken from his crib; the first time he pulls himself up to the side of a chair and then his fArst step. By all means don‘t fail to get a picture of his first excursion to his "high chair‘"‘ to join the family for his first meal at the table. Make it a practice, or better yet, a duty to have your camera loaded at all times and ready for action. At eSNAPSHOT GUIL From North Bay last weekâ€"end came the information that H. G.
