§ In his letter elsewhere in this issue Mr. Woods makes passing reference to some breaches of the game laws too common in this North and responsâ€" ible for the growing scarcity of game. It may be asked why Mr. Woods did not make protest beâ€" fore in regard to these illegal and evil practices. In fairness it must be said that Mr. Woods, in company with many others, has endorsed objecâ€" tions to these matters. The attention of the Fish and Game Department has been repeatedly diâ€" rected to these questions by Rod and Gun Clubs and Fish and Game Associations in the North. It is a question, however, whether there has been enough aroused and informed public opinion to warrant the government taking the drastic steps that would be necessary to stamp out all the illegal practices that deplete the game and fish resources of the North. In the matter of bow and arrow hunting, however, the g@epartment would have overwhelming public support if it took steps to prevent this evil.. To hunt game with bow and arrow would be wanton cv=~=‘ty. There would be few, if any, deer or moose, humanely killed by one arrow, or by two or three. There is no doubt but that there would be many animals wounded by this cruel game; they would escape to the bush, only to die a lingering death from torture of the worst kind. Wounded by highâ€"power rifle shot, game at present often escapes and if the shot has missed a vital spot the animal recovers and appears to be little inconvenienced from the injury. With one or two arrows in its hide, however, the case would be far different. The animal would be ungable to free itself from the arrows; the arâ€" rows would impede its progress through the woods; the festering sores caused by the arrows would bring such suffering and agony as should not be considered by any humane person. In this age to suggest the use of bows and arrows for hunting in place of modern weapons is equivalent to adâ€" vising the old form of crucifixion in place of hangâ€" ing or the electric chair, game and to prevent cruelty and inhuman methâ€" ods of hunting. If nothing is done about it, the public can scarcely be expected to believe in the sincerity of the professions of the Fish and Game Department in regard to protecting the. game of the North. Hunting with bow and arrow will be viewed on a par with bullâ€"baiting. If it attains any proportions the whole business of game huntâ€" ing will suffer in repute, and become disreputable indeed. If the Dept. of Fish and Game does not act promptly and decisively in banning this crue) and barbarous form of long outâ€"dated sport, the aepartment will be forced into an equally low pluce in public esteem. It might be well to make a decisive issue of this bow and arrow business. If the Department of Game and Fisheries will do so, they will show that they have true consideration for the game of the North and are determined alike to conserve the _ The Advance has always been an ardent supâ€" porter of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, because it believes the work being done by that institution is not only a benefit to Canadians, but its progress and support place Canada amonyg the most truly civilized nations. The attitude of a nation towards its women, its children, its blind, its lame, its sick and suffering, gives a true picâ€" ture of the type of civilization of the people. The nation that has time and thought and money to aid those in need of help and cheer is the really civilized nation. This is true chivalry, sportsmanâ€" ship, religion. It is the antithesis of force and materialism, though in the final it is the best of good business. In a double way the Canadian National Institute for the Blind is an expression of this ideal, because a great majority of its workâ€" ers are themselves blind. Men and women in full possession of their sight may well feel honoured to be associated with this association emphasizing one of the ideals of civilization and culture. Probably, if the public in general knew all the good work being carried on by the Canadian Inâ€" stitute for the Blind there would be general enâ€" thusiasm for the work. The newspapers in genâ€" eral have been generous in giving space to tell of the work for the blind, but it is a case where staâ€" tistics do not tell the whole story. Local cases have much more effect than ones in distant places and where those concerned are not known. There Bubscription Rates Canadaâ€"$3.00 Per Year.

Published Every Monday and Thursday by GEO,. LAKE, Owner and Publisher Early this year the Ontario Secondary School Teachers‘ Federation decided to sponsor a camâ€" paign for "National Fitness." While the expresâ€" sive and convenient phrase "National Fitness" was adopted by the teachers in the secondary schools it is well to remember that what the teachâ€" ers had in mind would be better expressed by the words, "the best possible degree of health of mind, body and soul for the whole nation." One of the things that prompted the Secondary School teachers to take up the National Fitness camâ€" paign was the fact that up to the present the Secâ€" ondary Schools had not been giving much attenâ€" tion to the matter of health. The primary schools had health nurses, forms of medical inspection, dental clinics, and other aids to health, but there were no such plans carried to Secondary Schools. It was possible to make out a good case to the effect that special attention to health was really more necessary and valuable in the Secondary Schools than in lower schools, but in any event it seemed beyond question that measures looking to health preservation and improvement should at least be carried through to the higher schools where the pupils are at ages where health attenâ€" tion is of vital importance. is genuine romance about the work itseif, but inâ€" dividual cases to the general public fail to make as deep an appeal as they should, perhaps, beâ€" cause they lack the personal touch that makes them real, To hear of the thousands of cases where blind people have been helped to contentâ€" ment and usefulness does not make full impression on the popular mind. Amid all the sensations of the day, the common virtues of chivalry and helpfuiness are too likely to be overlooked. * An illustrated article in The Globe and Mail on Saturday, however, makes such general appeal and emphasizes so well the good work of the Canâ€" adian National Institute for the Blind, that it should be given the widest possible circulation. It will have special interest for the North because one of the leading characters in the story was In carrying on the "National Fitness" campaign, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers‘ Federaâ€" tion are publishing a series of authoritative articâ€" les on health matters. In the introductory articles in the series, the need for National Fitness was made plain. This is a highly competitive world, and National Fitness is an essential to successâ€" yes, even to existenceâ€"in commerce, industry, the professions, the arts, in every walk of life. The Advance is pleased not only to publish the series of articles sponsored by the Ontario Secâ€" ondary School Teachers‘ Federation, but also to give them due prominence because of their vital value to Canada. The articles are not only interâ€" esting but they are also intensely patriotic in the true meaning of that word,. It is sincerely to be hoped that in addition to wide circulation these articles receive broad public attention and acceptâ€" ance and so build up a national consciousness of the real need for the greatest possible measure of National Fitness.

Rev. H. C. Slade, tist Church and Rev. Star ton, Noranga, exchanged Sunday. A friend of The Advance who favours this newsâ€" paper with frequent letters on topics of public inâ€" terest was so displeased with the recent attitude and actions of Premier Chamberlain that he reâ€" peatedly referred to the British premier as "Chamâ€" bermaid." An Old Country writer equalled this by calling the premier, "Shameberlain." To this an Englishwoman replied by suggesting that Reference was made in The Advance recently to the drastic increase in postal rates to places served only by air mail. Without a word of warnâ€" ing the postal rates to these distant places were increased to a figure as high as $1.40 per pound. The matter was of special interest to the North as most of these distant places were mining centres of the Far North, and the postal rates thus being practically prohibitive. the isolation of these pionâ€" eer mining camps was made so much the greater. It is pleasing, however, to note that the protest, would be more appropriate, and this tempted J. V:;: McAree of The Globe and Mail to suggest "Fameberlin" as the alternate. A Highâ€" lander might pronounce it "Tameberlin," if it could be done that way. It is a pity that these people who are forever thinking up "new things" should so often go back to the dark ages for their "original" ideas, as in the case of the proposed hunting of game in the North by bow and arrow. uoo swP e OWP e BE HE GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER| Miss E.

These circulars have been apâ€" parently broadcasted, by mail, â€"to those who once had radios, to those who never had radioes, to those who have not paid the radio license fee this year, and to those who have paid. The method used by the Radio Branch suggests that the Department has no idea as to those who have paid the license fee and those who have not. Isn‘t that an elegent confession of a rotten radio license system? If the Department doesn‘t know those who have paid, how can it expect those who haven‘t paid to keep record of that fact? As there is no paid adâ€" vertising on this circular broadcast, its cost, perâ€" haps, will mean the necessity for another addiâ€" tion next year to the radio license fee. All in all, it would seem that the Canadian Radio Broadcast Corporation has made such a muddle that it might be well to turn over the whole radio business to the only really clever fellow in radio todayâ€"the Hon.
