The Sudbury parents apparently didn‘t tell the children that they were sillyâ€"tnat there wasn‘t anything in the bedroomâ€"that it was all their ridiculous imagination. The father didn‘t tell the youngsters, with heavy humour, that the claws of any bird, any beast, always reached right down to the floor, if the said bird or beast stood on the floor. Instead, the parents said, "We‘ll go and see what‘s there!" They found there was some basis for the stories told by the childrenâ€"more, indeed, than for many tales told by adults. There was something in the room and it had bright eyes, and claws that reached the floor, when it was on the floor. It was a partridge that had flown through an open window. Anyone who has had a partridge lost in his house will realize thqt it tan make a terrifying amount of noise in its efforts to get back to freedom. No wonder small youngâ€" sters were terrified. It is beside the point to note that the partridge was more frightened than the children were. The partridge no doubt would have been very glad if it had been able to run to kind parents in its fright. Shortly after Hallowe‘en there comes a story from Sudbury with many touches of Hallowe‘en about it. Two little children had occasion the other night to be upstairs in their home, and hearâ€" ing strange noises in one of the bedrooms had the temerity to open the door and peep inside to see what was going on. What they saw, the despatchâ€" es say, (for the story obtained the importance oi despatches to Toronto newspapers) sent them scurrying in fright to their parents. In fear and excitement they told father and mother of the fearsome being in the bedroom. One could think of nothing about it but its big glaring eyes. The other youngster remembered chiefly the claws of the monster. The claws, the child said, reached to the floor.

LAKE, Owner and Publisher Bubscription Rates: Despatches can be depended upon only up to a certain point. It may not be well to give too much credence to the concluding rart of the Sudbury despatch, in which it was stated that the father of the house seriously considered keeping the bird until Saturday, Nov. 5th, when the second open partridge season commenced, so that he could shoot the bird for dinner, but that in deference to the strict letter of the law he gave the partâ€" ridge its freedom. The chances are that his first thought was the allaying of the fears of his chilâ€" dren, and his second kindly thought the freeing of the frightened little bird. Humorous thoughts about inviting the bird to return, like a good sport, in lawful season, would come afterwards, There are a number of morals to this story. Each man and woman and child may pick his or her own favourite moral from the incident. Just one is suggested here. It is to offset the chance that some bow and arrow hunter may claim that if the father had been a partridge hunter, bringing home each year a flock of the birds, the youngâ€" sters would have recognized the bird when they saw it first. The particular moral referred to, however, is that a live partridge does not appear similar to a dead one in the eyes of children, and the feathery clumps hanging down listlessly would never have come to the childish mind in conâ€" nection with a living being that had shining eyes and made much noise. But if the father had been one of those hunters like "Happy‘" Woods, of Schuâ€" macher, hunting with a camera, the youngsters would have jumped up and down with glee and called out, "Oh, one of Daddy‘s pictures has come down from the wall!" Tomorrow is called Remembrance Day. Once it was called Armistice Day. For a time there was a plan to observe it on‘ the same day as Thanksâ€" giving Day, as if the two occasions were of the same nature and effect. The years, however. have shown that Armistice Day holds little cautse for thanksgiving. The soldiers themselves were the first to recognize the fact that peace did not come upon Armistice Day twenty years agoâ€" that the event was celebrated too far this side of Christmas and too far this side of Germany. For many years the returned soldiers refused to call it "Thanksgiving Day." "Armistice Day" was their word. To some extent it is still the name. some suggested the changing of the name to "Peace Day," but the soldiers demurred. "Peace DDay" was a misnomer. The present name of "Remembrance Day" gives a title that has real meaning and purpose. It should be a day of reâ€" membranceâ€"remembrance of the men who seryvâ€" ed, the men who suffered, the men who died, in a cause that they thought gloriousâ€"a cause that they made glorious. To the returned soldiers it is a day of remembranceâ€"remeimbrance of brave friends who west West; of the gallant comrades in d@ays of hardship and nights of danger, of hard times, bad times, sad times, merry times. To others of the Empire it should be a day of true EOe Vorrupine Aduvance Timmins, Ont., Thurs., Nov. 10th, 193 A STORY WITH SOME MORALS United Statesâ€"$3 50 Per Year remembranceâ€"remembrance of the sacrifice men made for them, honour to those who paid the price of liberty with their lives, butâ€"above all, rememâ€" brance for the disabled and crippled who returnâ€" ed handicapped and suffering from the war, and for the dependents of all those who died for freeâ€" dom and for the Empire, whether that death came here or overseas. Remembrance for the dead. yes! But still greater remembrance for the living. By remembrance of the living who suffer from the war can the nation show the truest rememâ€" brance of the glorious dead. "What price has the soldier‘s family paid?" Honâ€" estly answering these questions, what price would you set on the token of remembrance? At least, the soldiers gave generously. On Remembrance Day, can‘ the people do less, and still call it Reâ€" membrance Day? The token of Remembrance Day is the poppy. Those who remember should wear a poppy on Remembrance Day. What price the token of reâ€" membrance? Answer that question by another query:â€""What price did the soldier pay?" It might be well to add still another interogation:â€" On Remembrance Day it is well to remember that every cent paid for the poppy helps exâ€"soldiers in need. The poppies are made by disabled soldiers who profit by their sale. The Legion buys the poppies from the Vetcraft shops where they are made, paying a fair price for each poppy. Anyâ€" thing received for the poppy above the Vetcraft price goes into the Legion‘s relief fund, to be used to help exâ€"soldiers and their dependents when need overtakes them. Thus, is the poppy even in material way a flower of remembrance. Buy a poppy, remembering that the price you pay is but an instalment on the total cost to those who are remembered on Remembrance Day. Wear a poppy on Remembrance Day to show that the price is not forgotten, and to pay yourself the honour of standing among those who remember that loyalty and srevice and sacrifice are not outlawed debts even in twenty years. The Advance very earnestly urges all its readers to give the most careful attention to the letter appearing in this issue from Mr. Whelan, of Smoky Falls, near Kapuskasing. In heading the letter The Advance did not use the word "eloquent" in any careless or thoughtless way. The letter is truly eloquent. Its sincerity alone would rank it in the class of the eloquent. It is also most inâ€" teresting, logical and thoughtful, and it deals with a question of vital importance to the Northâ€"the subject of the conservation of the wild life of this country. * As Mr: Whelan‘s letter suggests there are powerâ€" ful reasons why something should be done towards true conservation. Indeed, there is no doubt but that unless something is done it will be only a few short years before there will be nothing in the way of wild life to be preserved in this country, outside of zoos and museums. There may be some who will be unmoved by what they may term the “sentimenbtal” reasons suggested by Mr. Whelan. To those who love beguty and grace and nature, however, these "sentimental" virtues will make the strongest appeal. Without the birds and the beasts, the charm of the woods would be sadly deâ€" pleted, indeed. The time, the trouble and the heart that so many people in Timmins have given to attracting birds to nest around their homes, and the genuine joy experienced when success met these efforts, proves that there are many indeed to whom the interesting and the graceful beauties of nature make supreme appeal. These people would conserve wild life for its own sake. To those others who have little thought for the natural blessingé and beauties of the world, there are more materialâ€" istic reasons for conservation. Materialists deâ€" light in talking of the money in the tourist trade. When the North has lost its wild life through greed and selfishness and lack of thought, it will have lost as well its chief attraction for tourists. Mr. Whelan‘s letter also suggests ways in which wild life is essential for a balance in nature. Other countries have found this a very material reason to curse the lack of conservation. Indeed, in some measure this argument has had very maâ€" terial force in the North. Whether from the naâ€" tural, the sentimental, the materialistic or the business standpoints, it does not need much thought to prove that it is shortsighted folly not to conserve the wild life of the North. Many will agree with Mr. Whelan that some of| 1 the artificial efforts at conservation have proved. abortive. There will be still more general agree-? ment in his suggestion that true conservation may. receive its greatest support from the coming genâ€". eration. The Advance, however, believes that the Ontario Fish and Game Department has been making a sincere effort to improve conditions. (t would be unfair also to overlook the remarkably good work in this particular of the Canadian Forestry Association. What seems to be the great need is an aroused and informed public opinion. The Canadian Forestry Association has done great deal to create such a public opinion. The right sort of education in the matter for the chilâ€" dren would be a wonderful assistance to the same good end. The Advance, however, is not by any means hopeless of the present generation. Despite the proverk, it is surprising how many new t#icks wellâ€"trained old dogs will learn. With the leaderâ€" ship of the Ontario Department of Fish and Game, surprising progress might be made. If the departâ€" ment once convinced the general public of its sincerity and practical knowledge, such leaderâ€" NEED FOR CONSERVATION ThE PorctPonit anvrarct, innmis, Miftaprto ( onfined Abed by Lumbago Acting know a about it. lumbago (Contnued from Page One) follow one around a garden some sumâ€" mer night with a flashlight and count the number of cutworms eaten or see how. many mice under a barn will be left alive to breed in spring. I wonder how many of your readers have asked themselves the question:â€"What hapâ€" pened to last year‘s millions of meadow mice? What steps did nature take this year to control the outbreak of Army worms? Those of us who through cbservation can see a little of nature‘s way of trying to control her children‘s numbers lest they destroy themselves â€"possibly us tooâ€"must wonder at her infinite patience with man who with ship would be gladly accepted. The Advance beâ€" lieves that in this bow and arrow craze, the department has the chance to win the public conâ€" fidence. By absolutely refusing to countenance this cruel thingâ€"with all its implied unnecessary suffering for the animals hunted, the department would win general favour. Péermitting this vicious cruelty and then seeking excuses for it will have the opposite effect and will set back the cause of conservation many years. The resurrection Of the methods of the dark agesâ€"discarded years ago by the Indians of Canada as soon as more certain ‘and humane means were at handâ€"gives the deâ€" partment a chance to show knowledge and sinâ€" cerity and its humanity and win public approval at the cost of no more than the disappointment of This week Russia celebrated the twentyâ€"first anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution, but there were not many of the old guard left to celebrate. However, a million soldiers paraded before Czar Stalin, and Herr Hitler‘s face was red because of some of the speeches made in Moscow.

Colonel Charles Lindbergh was referâ€" red to by another Russian general as a "spy" and a "rat," or the Russian equivalent, which sounds even worse. There was also the prophecy that in 1941 Russia would trim Germany. Altogether, a good time was had by all. a few foolish folk from another land where wild lffe has been driven out by fads and folly.

What would a patch of lily pads be without a mooses raising your cance suddenly comes around a his dripping muzzle to look at you as corner?

Mr. Editor you and I know that it is difficult "to teach an old dog new tricks‘" that all the preaching it is possible for us to do will not change the attitude of those who think that the primary reason for the existence of wild life is for man to destroy itâ€"dor those who feel that because they own a gun and a box of shells must test their prowess on some harmless little bit of fur or feather. They will soon pass on, so let us turn our attention to more fertile ground. What about our children? Is that not the logical place to start if we are to save what reâ€" mains of our woods and its wild life? What would breakfast in the woods be without half a dozen Great Blue Herons slowly flopping overhead? What meaning would there be in spring were it not for long "V" formaâ€" tions of geese fiying northâ€"for the anemoneâ€"the "cheer up" of the robin, â€"the singing of frogs in the distant swampsâ€"the "Oh Canada Canada" of the whiteâ€"throated sparrowâ€"â€"the little busybody of a house wron that discovâ€" ers th> house you placed on a tree for her coming, and whose song fills you with a fear lest she burst her heart with the intensity of the joy she pours with out? It looks as if Herr Hitler is buying himsel{ a lot of nice Christmas presents this year. Apparentâ€" ly he has a charge account in the name of the Leaguye of Nations, or something. There will be general regret that a 17â€"yearâ€"old Polish Jew made an attempt on the life of the German Embassy Secretary at Paris, declaring that he had come to avenge his countrymen who had been expelled from Germany. British feeling does not favour attempts at assassination. However, if the attempt had been made on Herr Hitler himâ€" self the general feeling would have been inclined to sympathy for the young man. There used to be a story told about a hunter in the North woods who shot the member of another party in the woods, the bullet hitting the other hunter in the arm. The hunter who shot hurried across to the hunter who was shot and exclaimed, "I beg your pardon, I thought you were a moose." "You silly mug," replied the injured hunter, "you shouldn‘t be in the woods if you can‘t do better shooting than that." If any such poor shooting occurs in the North this year, the moose should be chased until caught and apologies made to this effect:â€""I beg your pardon, Mr. Moose, I thought you were a bow and arrow hunter." | Some people have been wondering whether the recent fine weather was Indian summer or not. There was no such question about what the weather was this week. Premier Chamberlain is said to be working on a plan for an international pooling of colonies as a further step in his "appeasement‘" policy. Just what Premier Chamberlain means is kept a secret at present. It is no use asking the premier, so the only way to find out is to ask Fuehrer Hitler what he wants. A great deal of the good done by other departments of our government is neuâ€" tralized unless we have the coâ€"operaâ€" tion of cur Education Department. I would like to know just what is being done in Normal schools to equip our teacshers to pass on to their pupils not only reasons for conservation, but a genuin> interest in nature and its preâ€" servation. Prankly, I cannot see that our present nature study class in public school approaches this problem in the proper way. I do know that children can, without any trcluble at all, become nature‘s best friend. It has been my gocd fortune to have been allowed to work with our boys in this comâ€" munity and I know that each individuâ€" al from six years of age up looks on himself as the protector of birds‘ nests in the townsite. With the full coâ€"operâ€" ation of our Department of Education, our teachers and others who come in contact with our children, and our nfnewspapers, the sad story of the Pasâ€" senger Pigeon would not be duplicated, despite gunâ€"toting parents. I thought just now I heard a cheéer from the woods. There was a lot of gun fire on the river just before dark; perhaps a wounded duck lying in the bush said something‘ about hoping some kids do not grow up like their dads. The stand you have taken in conâ€" nection with the article by the "cerâ€" tain or uncertain" Toronto newspaper, plus your printing of statements by such wellâ€"known authorities as Profesâ€" sor Dymond, goes a long way to undo the damage done by the above menâ€" tioned Toronto paper.
