The accused man is not the Lionel Gazne, son of Alcide Gagng, of 157 Mountjoy Street, Timmins.

O‘Gorman‘s Address to Music and Literary Club Shows Discouraging Influence of Literary Trends of the Day. â€" Antidote Suggested by Speaker in Effective Address, Mr. Jos. A. Bradette, M.P., Anxious to Have North Land on Route of Royal Tour. Mtr. Jos. A. Bradeite, M.P. for this ridirs, was down from Cochrane on Monday of this week, making one of his frequent vis‘‘s to Timimins. As usual he called on as many of his conâ€" stituients as time allowed and was anxious to do anything hss could to serve the interests of the people of this riding. In reference to the recentlyâ€"published Yinerary for the visit to Canada of King Gceores VI and Qusen Elizabeth, Mr. Bradette expressed the desire to have the schedule changed so as to allow the King arnd Queen to stop at some one place in this North Land. While he thought Timmins would be the logical place for the royal party to stop so that people might be able to see them and Their Majesties, in their turn would hav>? opportunity to vis‘t a mining camp, Mr. Bradette did nct (hink that it was so much a quesâ€" tion of what town to visit as that some large centre in this North should be visited by the royal party. He thought that the msiter might be arranged by Faving the royal train follow one route west and anothkher on the return trip to the east. This could be done by use the Transcontinental and T. N. O. railways. He had taken the mavrter up with Ottiawa, tiut had been given the answer that the route had deâ€" finitely selected and Shat it was too ‘ate to change ‘¢ rnow. He was hopeâ€" ful, however, that some Northern cenâ€" tre would be picked out for a visit from the King and Queen and that accordingly it will be possible for a large representation from the North to their Kinz and Qucen. Pessimism of Modem Literature Has Effect .

Fr. J. R. O‘Gorman, in opening his address "Pessimistic Lilerature and Antidote," at the first regular 1939 meeting of the Porcupine Women‘s Music and Literary Club on Monday afternoon. "Who would say," Fr. O‘Gorman conâ€" tinued, "that modern works are writâ€" ton by greas, writers? The very greatâ€" ost writers, such as Homer and Virgil, were poets. Have we any greas poets toâ€"day?" In classwork, the speaker stated, the teacher teaches the pupils to appreâ€" clate good literatiure by the goodness and cimeliness of old Modâ€" ern fiction is often termed powerful and striking, but imight instead be described as sordid, unpleasant, and pessimistic. "One can undeystand ‘why recent works are unpleasant," the Rev. ®r. O‘Gorman added, explaining that the lives of pgople in the past twerty years have been influenced by horrors of the past war. During thisg@period of time a large number of memoirs, and other books of this kind have been published. There have been twenty years of peace, but still the memories lingsr, and literssure has not imâ€" proved. "*Pew people bocks," said the . with the publicat terâ€"century, "but a certain number Thes Rev. Fr. OGorman mention? the effect that sotalitarian forms of government, the struggles of governâ€" ments, and modern wars have on literaâ€" ture. The people have the radio and the press to read, and therefore there is only a "cursory reading of books to keep abreast of the times." "When we have read a dozen differâ€" enc books,â€"we are better informed on what has bsen done," added the speakâ€" er. There is very little difference beâ€" <ween the ninth and the nineteenth what has bsen done," added the speakâ€" er. There is very little difference beâ€" sween the ninth and the nineteenth century, because all the changes during that time were gradual changes. The twenticth century is alvtogether differâ€" ent,; cand fts rapid changes are likely to cause a collapse of civilization. ‘"There is need of a powerful pen to take us away from this danger." The press has a tendency o make the worst of things, and the are losing their optimism, and living under a menace of evil. "We all hope for a happy new year," said Fr. O‘Gorman, and added chat we should make our motto "why worry." He told a few humorous stories in conâ€" nection with optimism, and stated that it was a good thing to have optimists among us. In keeping with this optimlilec view, the Rev. Fr. O‘Gorman made a few prophecies. He mentionecd the coming visit of Their Majesties, the World‘s Fair, golfing, and "then there is always the general election." The speaker said had been worrying but thas shere was worriecs. He predi where spain would ent). "Palestine cannct possibly hold all the exiles," said the speaker, knowing the subject from personal visits to che country, continuing that it would not be wise to have too great a difference between the number of Arabs and the number of Jews in the land. The greoatest danger, said Fr. O‘Gorâ€" man, was in Ukraine.,. The people, he said. are a branch of the Slay race.
