Indeed, as a matter of fact, Mr. Wilson will be materially the loser from the use of the swimâ€" ming pool this year, paying part of the cost of| maintenance after turning the pool over to Mr. ’bt. Fisher for the use of the children. ay The mayor appears to be leading an agitationi ‘to secure the cancellation of all licenses of occuâ€" pation of the land on‘ the west bank of the Matâ€" .itagaxni river. With his usual pretence he claims ‘to be doing this with the overpowering desire to see that the public has access to the river for bathing and swimming. On Monday he told the| council with thrills of horror in his voice that one | man actually charges an admission fee of 10| cents to bathers on property on the river bank ‘held under a license of occupation. The thrill of horror might well be there for the misrepresentaâ€" ] tion so made. Evidently it was Mr. Wilson of the Riverside pavilion who was meant as the man charging ten cents a head for the privilege of alâ€" lowing bathers access to the river. Of course, Mr. Wilson is doing nothing of the sort. What Mr.' Wilson is doing is making a charge of ten cents per adult, five cents per child of school age, and ) nothing for small children when accompaniedi by adults or other children old enough to care for the smaller youngsters. This small admission fee covers much more than right of access to the river. It allows the use of a property that Mr. Wilson has spent thousands of dollars to improve and that costs him money every day to keep clean and sanitary and attractive. This small fee gives free parking privilegesâ€"for all day or all evening, if desired. It gives free use of the change rooms, the toilets, and other conveniences erected and maintained at Mr. Wilson‘s expense. The plan assures supervision and decency at that particular part of the river. Mr. Wilson was forced to erect the fence to protect his own interests and equally the interests of the public. For a time he mainâ€" tained the beach and diving board at his own exâ€" pense and allowed the public free access to the property. For the convenience of the public he installed change rooms, toilets, etc., for the use of which, naturally, he made nominal charge. He | found, however, that people who refused to use, the change rooms and thus saved the dime asked for the service, would dress and undress so pub-, licly that something had to be done about it. For| proper control of the property that he had bought}| and maintained, and to maintain decency on the | beach under occupational rights for which he pays |â€" proper rental to the government, there seemed no alternative than to make a small charge. To preâ€"| | i In the report of the meeting of the town council this week it will be found that several councillors urged that something be done at once to providei sidewalk accommodation along the new threeâ€"lane ‘ highway from Timmins to Schumacher. This is | a serious need at the present time. After the new | pavement was opened for traffie The Advance called attention to the danger to pedestrians on | this strip of roadway. This roadway is used by | hundreds of men walking to and from work each] day. Others also use this road to walk to or fromi sSchumacher. The danger is greatly increased by | the fact that despite all warnings people cont,inuel to walk with their backs to oncoming traffic andi also to walk three, four, and even five abreast. It would seem that tragedy is almost inevitable un-| less a sidewalk is constructed and insistence madeI for its use by pedestrians. At the present time children are making much use of the roadway| as a sidewalk. The sidewalk built by the Hollinger . has been covered over by the new roadway. ItI seems to be the duty of the council to see that a | new sidewalk is built without delay. Men employâ€"| ed at the Hollinger are citizens of the town and | entitled to a sidewalk just as much as those in | other parts of the municipality. The Hollinger| has always shown generosity to the town in all | such matters and no doubt will not refuse to conâ€" tribute to the cost of the work. But the responâ€" sibility is clearly on the town to provide this sideâ€"| walk at once for the convenience as well as the safety of the citizens who have to walk between‘ Timmins and Schumacher.

The "counâ€" try correspondent" got the news, got it first, got â€"Children‘s Aid workers in a town miles away were having difficulty collecting clothes and food for the family of children who had lost their mother to a brutal death and their father to a prison cell. On the one hand hysteria and sensaâ€" tionalism induced generosity and expressions of sympathy, while on the other hand the real need of the innocent was overlooked. To condemn the public on such isolated cases, however, would be false and unfair. It is true that the sensational does appeal to manyâ€"that crowds may be stamâ€" peded into doing good deeds under the impulse of the spectacular and the bizarre. It is equally true that the great majority of the people respond quietly and promptly to all worthy appeals, when they know the need and understand the necesâ€" sity. This is no more than to say that there are still good and bad, selfish and unselfish, kind and unkind, in this world, but thatâ€"in Canada, at leastâ€"the good, the kind, the sympathetic far outnumber the mean and selfish. In other words there.are mayors and exâ€"mayorsâ€"and the exâ€" mayors are in the majority. | _ _ The mayor would infer that Mr. Wilson has the {|only route of access to the river. The fact, of | course, is that he has occupational rights for only ’a small portion. If the public do not care, or are not able to pay the small fee, why not secure free | bathing at other points on the river? The reply, ! of course, will be that no other point is suitable or \attractive to the public. That begs the answer .that the reason Mr. Wilson‘s beach is so desirable is because he has spent money and effort to make it so. The town actually owns another beach and picnic ground. Why not let the public use that? |There will be a chorus of answers to that. The ‘ municipal beach does not provide access to safe | bathing. The temporary pool put in by the town is condemned by the free bathers as being most unsuitableâ€"the water muddy and stagnant, and !reputed as infested with bloodsuckers. If the \ town desires to provide free swimming facilities, why not do as Mr. Wilson didâ€"spend money and ,time and effort on the improvement of the proâ€" perty and the providing of the necessary services? That would be the fair thing to do, rather than | to attempt to defraud Mr. Wilson of property that | has cost him much money and work. Or the town | could buy out Mr. Wilson. The Advance believes \he would be very ready to sell at a figure that would be less than he has spent to acquire the iproperty. In all fairness, the point should be I stressed that a good beach with all the conveniâ€" lences and services offered by Mr. Wilson costs ‘money. Some one has to pay for it. The public can not have it unless someone does pay for it. It is useless to expect fairness from the mayor, but | the council should insist on some form of fair play in the matter. As for the mayor his reply will 'likely be to see if he can change the meetings ofl | council in such a way as to discriminate against E'I‘he Advance and its readers. .. VE OS TW TW NP ‘GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER! Recently The Sudbury Star called attention to the odd instance of more than forty people offerâ€" ing to provide a home for a stray dog while appeals for a homeless ward of the Children‘s Aid Society brought no response. This week The Sudbury Star refers to the interest shown by so many in the case of the little boy lost in the bush and the generous way in which help was offered in the hopes of finding the lost child. The Sudbury Star concludes from this latest example of public symâ€" pathy and kindliness that people after all have warm hearts, quick sympathy and kindly impulses. Against this might be quoted the example menâ€" tioned recently in The Advance, where four young men at North Bay refused to act as pallbearers for a dead friend unless they were paid for their serâ€" vices. It is easy enough to recount instances where the public seem heartless or indifferent to suffering and want. It might even be argued that in such cases as that of the homeless dog and the lost child, the public interest arises not so much from sympathy and kindliness as from love of the sensational. There is, for example, the classic illustration that might be quoted from a murder case in the South many years ago. While neighâ€" boursâ€"and people from a distanceâ€"sent fiowers‘: to the father in prison for the murder of his wife instance, has land quite suitable for a park, and the town sadly needs another park and playâ€" | ground. Mr. Wilson, however, is not unfair ‘enough to suggest that the mayor should plant itrees. provide benches, keep the park clean and 4sanitary, provide supervision, and turn the whole thing over free to the town. Even that, however, would not be as unfair a proposal as to suggest that Mr. Wilson should maintain the Riverside ,property, provide all the services there, and give | it all to the public without any charge. THE PORCUPINE TIMMINS, ONTARIO The Brampton Conservator regrets the presentâ€" day practice of "Jack"ing, ‘"Bill‘"ing, "Dick"â€" ing, and "Jo‘"â€"ing everybody, especially those in places of authority and dignity. It thinks that As will be noted from an announcement in this issue, the town of Timmins intends to summon to court all who fail to pay their taxes for signs, coal chutes and fire escapes before Sept. 1st. So are crimes added to the calendar‘ When is a license not a license? When it‘s a tax. For instance, the town of Dundas has a byâ€" law for regulating the safety of signs and awnâ€" ings. Each sign less than four feet square is charged $1, and those over four feet square pay $2, while all awnings are expected to contribute $2. That‘s a license. In Timmins, signs and coal chutes are taxed. The difference is between seven and forty dollars each. The men who stole 1700 pounds of gold ore in Quebec could scarcely be called "lightâ€"fingered." it rightâ€"and real newspapers take pride in all that. Victor Laberge, the Sturgeon Falls representâ€" ative of The Star, gave valuable assistance in the search for the lost boy, comforted the father and mother in their anxiety, worked day and night till the little lad was found, and because of all this had the I;onour of being the first to interview the recovered boy and his family, and send the full story out by wire. The Sudbury Star has a right to be proud of this member of its staff. But in this North The Star is not the only newspaper with correspondents of this kind. The Advance has several of them on the staff and the able work they do and the real "scoops" they achieve show that to experience they have added talent and heart interest that make them worthy members of a worthy profession.

Convoyed By Jim Sparks During the Duke‘s regime, the Harriâ€" canaw was in a state of continual awso and confusion, and any day His Grace in Amos was Coronation Day to finance further work.

It must have been a trying day for the partners, horceos of mosquitces and perhaps bushfires! There was a famous Dickens character who saw King Charles‘ head in everything. At present there are people who see danger of a world war in every corner of the world. The latest sign of a world conflagration is the unpleasantness beâ€" tween Japan and Russia at the Manchurian borâ€" der. In this fighting, the pessimists see deep plot. Instead of the result being an advantage to China by drawing Japanese troops from that country, the fear is expressed that the proceeding is simply a device to occupy Russia at one side, so that Rusâ€" sia may be attacked on the other flank, or at least that Russia will not be able to come to the help of Czechoslovakia if that little land is invaded or attempt made to invade it. All the things that are quoted as sure to start another world war reâ€" call the story of the raw army recruit. The serâ€" geantâ€"major was snarling out orders one after anâ€" other:â€"‘"Attention!" ‘"Slope Arms!" "Present Arms!" The recruit stood motionless. "Why in blazes doesn‘t he make up his mind," he said, calling the premier of Ontario "Mitch," .or the leader of the Conservative party "Bob," or the head of the Canadian administration ‘"Billy," lessâ€" ens the dignity of public life. The Conservator suggests that it would be well to return to the greater decorum of the days that are no more. History suggests that like so many other alleged modern innovations, familiar names for people in high places are as old as recorded time.. From the days when the boys called a prophet "Baldhead" down through the ages there have been names and nicknames for the great and the nearâ€"great. A famous <British premier was commonly called ‘"Dizzy." One of the greatest biographers of the ages answered proudly to the nickname, "Bozzy.‘ Even the beloved Sir Wilfred Laurier was callec ‘"White Plumes," while his great predecessor, Sit John A. was more than once called "Old Toâ€"morâ€" row" to his face. An interscsting decision was given at Sudbury police court last week to the effect that a taxi ride cannot be stolen. Apparently you can steal a ride on a railway but you can‘t do the same with a taxiâ€"at Jeast, not lawfully, or words to that effect. To start at the beginâ€" ning of the case: A taxi driver brought a patron of his car to the police staâ€" tion at Sudbury because the passenger had not paid a taxi bill of some nine dollars. At the station the taxi driver and passenger agreed on the amount to be paid and the passenger saying that he did not have the necessary money with him at the momsnt, made out a cheque for nine dollars, signed it, and everybody was satisfied, so satâ€" isfied that everybody went home, exâ€" cept the police. ‘The police saw the passenger make out and sign the cheque, so there was no doubt about that part of the matter. But the noxét morning the taxi driver was back at the police station, claiming that the cheque had bounced back right in his face. _A bcouncing baby is the right sort, but a bouncing cheque is a baby of another kind. Anyway, between the taxi driver and the police a charge was laid against the passenger for obtainâ€" ng moncy by false pretences. When the case came before District Magisâ€" trate McKessock, the man was disâ€" charged. "You can‘t steal a taxi ride," said the magistrate. "If you charge him with false pretences, it must be for cbtaining something which can be stolen. Charge withdrawn." So that‘s that. The magistrate says you can‘t steal a taxi ride. But the taxi driver still thinks that people canâ€"and do. snorting and heavy language, accomâ€" panied by admonitions from thir noble Briton, but the engine would not be cranked. Unfortunately for Commoâ€" dore Sparks, the molassesâ€"driven fleet refused to mancouvre at his Grace‘s command and Jim Sparks was sumâ€" marily dismissed, with or without pay.

It was bad enough to plunge a knife into the back of trustful sharcholders and companies by suddenly springing a new assessment on them and making it retroactive. That‘s enough in itself to hurt confidence in the mining industry and create suspicion of the much adâ€" vertised good intentions of the Governâ€" ment, But when the prospector is hit, that‘s erious. Th whols mining industry of the future rests on the bent but sturâ€" dy back of the prospector. Already, he says, Ottawa is making it hard to get a grubstake. In older days a prospector needed only a few hundred dollars to keep him in the field. Favorable virgin ground existed close to the railway tracks. Toâ€"day a prospector must go far afield and he needs thousands of dollars. He needs the help of those who are willâ€" ing to gamble with him.
