Mr. Geo. Drow announced that play would be for the Karl Eyre Trophy. The next club meetâ€" ing will be on Friday evening, February 17. It will be a curling meeting. Visitors were Victor Haph, viceâ€"presiâ€" dent of the Sault Ste. Marie Kiwanis Club, and W. H. Armitage of Kirkland Lake,. Viceâ€"presiden:t Phil Kinkel ocâ€" cupied the chair in the absence of the President, J. L. Fulton, who is in North Bay at the T. N. O. bonspiel. The average councillor; said Mr. Eyre, received about $1% a month from the town. To earn that money he must spend about two hours a day on town business. Arch Gillies extended members an invitation to attend the annual meetâ€" ing of the Victorian Order of Nurses in ‘he Clinic rcom of the town hall on Friday evening. Irish Digest: A spinster is a woman |said that Mayor Bartleman told him who knows all the answers but has ‘that the town would take care of his never been asked the questions. family until he was earninz and would Charity used to be borre by a few. Now, all the charity that was emanatâ€" ed from the relief department. In Oshawa, for example, a city of 25,000 people, where relief costs amounted to $214,000, there were 15 employees. In Timmins $80,000 was spent and there was only one man and an assistant to administrate. Dr. Lee Honey thanked the speaker, who was introduced by W. O. Lanzâ€" don. Dr. Honey said that relief costs in Timmins in 1923 were $1,200. Toâ€" day they were $80,000. Although the minimum rate was set the public should *take a keener interâ€" est in a maximum rate. One way of doing that was by taking more interâ€" est in the men who represented the taxâ€"payer. One department which could easily get out of bounds, said Mr. Eyre, was the relief department. A member of that department last year, he had the utmost sympathy for the present town employees who administered relief. The minimum tax rate was practicâ€" ally set, said Mr. Eyre. The amount of money which had to be raised to pay for the costs of educaiion and for reâ€" lief, was constant. There were, in adâ€" aition, certain set amounts that had to be paid on debenture debt. Schools here did not overspend, said the speaker, but in this town we were blessed with more children than any other miunicipality in Canada. Principal function of the council was to collect and spend the town‘s money. At that, however, it controlled only about 45 per cent. of expenditures. The remainder was spent on education, over which the council had little or no control. The tax rate was pretty well set by public demand. If the public wanted improvements it should be prepared to pay for them. One council spent and the next one was forced to pay as payment for public improvements came a year after they were made. Or, at least, the following council was forced to make the first payment. Under the British system the perâ€" manent employee was an important part of the system. Wce the elected representative who ignored the civil service. Don‘t elect men you do not know to spend your money, advised the speakâ€" er. Caution was necessary and the best type of men should be persuaded to run. It was the duty of a citizen to refrain from gambling with the Town‘s money by electing unknown men to council. Mr., Eyre, who served on the ccuncil in 1938, said that municipal governâ€" meéent was as old as man himself. It was based on tribal law, which, in the British system, extended back into the mists of antiquity. In private business, said Mr. Eyre, a man can go to a specialist and zet advice as to how to spend his money. It was difi¢rent in town business. The public often did not stop to choose specialists but elected the most glib, regardless of whethere or not he was qualified. The gereral public should be very disâ€" criminating in choosing men to run the affairs of a municipality, said Karl Eyre, on Monday, speaking at the reâ€" gular lunchon meeting of the Kiwanis Club. {zeneral Public Should Be Very Discriminating in its Choice of Councillors Warns Karl Eyre. Public Often Chooses Glib Candidate Rather Than One Who Could Spend Town Money Well. Choose Town Fathers Carefully is Advice He had been on relief since last spring, said the accused man. He was told that he would have to take the bus from Timmins at 7.30 o‘clock in the morning instead of earlier as he anticipated. They hed to go to Dugâ€" wal. He figured that by the time they got there, there would be no use going to work as he would not get a full eight hours. Consequently he did not go. "I have been spending the past week sending poor unfortunates who can‘t get work to jail," said Magistrate Atkinson. "It is a kind of relief to send someone who could get work but won‘t take it. Thirty days." Delbert Murphy, superintendent of the government employment bureau here, told the court that he had had an order for six men from the Mcâ€" Namara Construction Company. He called Mr. Martin. The men were supâ€" posed to leave on a Wednesday. Taillefâ€" er failed to show up. Minimum wage on the jcbh was 35 cents an hour, said Mr. Murphy. A man who worke" hard could earn more. Circumstances were the same in the cases of Asselin and Groulx. They 0oo were told that there was work at Dugâ€" wal and they too refused to go. In the case of Asselin Mr. Martin said that Mayor Bartleman told him He received a call that six men were needed for highway work and, among others, called Taillefer. Transportaâ€" tion was arranged but the accused did not go. Later, he said, that the reason he did not go was that he did not think he could make enough money Relief Officer Fred Martin told the court that Taillefer had been on relief and that he and his family had reâ€" ceived $40 from the town during the month of January. Asked about wages Mr. Martin said that they were to be paid $2.80 a day. with 50 cents deducted for transportaâ€" tion to and from Timmins. Three Timmins relief recipients, Edâ€" gar Taillefer, Fred Assalin and Art®kr Groulx, were convicted in police court on Tuesday before Magistrate Atkinâ€" son. Charge against them was that they â€"refused work when it was offered to them and thereby became vazgrants. Taillefer and Groulx were sentenced to serve thirty days in jail at Haileybury. Although convicted Asselin was releasâ€" ed when he told the magistrate that he had a job. Three Relief Recipients Convicted on Charges. Two Sent Down for Month Each.

Fourth avenue. On account of the death of Mr. Klotz, father of Mrs. W. O. Langdon, president of the club, the last meeting had to be postponed. At first it was intendéd to hold the meetâ€" inz toâ€"day, but later it was found necessary to change the date to next Monday, Feb. 13th, as noted above. Phillippe Filiatreault, Thomas Maâ€" honey were each sentenced to $50 and costs or thirty days on drunk chargzes. Four other drunks received the alterâ€" native of $10 and costs or thirty days. He offered < him the job, said Mr. Martin, antl when he did not go askâ€" ed him why. The reply was that it was tco cold. Ssentence was thirty days,. "Guilty This T‘me" "I guess T‘ll plead igtiuty this time," said Arthur Leslie, convicted of being drunk. Leslie appeared in court only a short time ago on the same charge. It was dismissed on that occasion when he said that the cause of his seeming darunkenness was sleeping pills. Tony Garbelloto pleadesd guilty to charges of being drunk and of havâ€" ing wine illegally, He was sentsnced to $10 and costs or thirty days on each. He paid. Arthur Groulx had been offered work on two occasions, said Mr. Martin. In the middle of January he was given a chance to go to work in the bush. Alâ€" though they had been informed that he was an excellent bush man he said that he had never worked in the bush. He also was offered the highway job. Music and Literary Club Meeting on Monday, Feb. 12 Magistrate Atkinson was about to impose sentence when Asselin told him that he was working at the present time. He had a job. It would last for two weeks and he was earning $3 a day, he said. "In that case it would be only wasting the country‘s money to send you ito jail, said the magisâ€" trate. "I will adjourn this until called for. If you pull this sort of thing again you will have me â€"to deal with." make up any difference between what he got from working and what he ordinarily got on relief. Such resistance would not be effecâ€" tive until municipal governments unitâ€" ed in their efforts to control these exâ€" penditures. The resolution will be given further consideration at a future meeting of the Timmins Town Council. It was felt, said the letter in which the resolution was contained, that the time had come for municipal governâ€" ments to take a resolute stand againsé the oppressive burden of relief costs and the increasing cost of secondary education. That Mayors and Ontario Councils pledge themselves, in the event of an unsatisfactory arrangement with the governments, to use their influence to elect members to parliament whos leader will pledge himself through reâ€" duction of relief and secondary educaâ€" tion costs to relieve the excessive charges on real estate. A resolution recently passed by an executive meeting of the Ontario Mayors‘ Association in Toronto, was considered by the Council on Monday night at a special meeting.

Open Night at Central School on Friday, Feb. 10 Added $1,850,000,000 to Canada Riches in 5 Years What the Mining Industry has Done for the Dominion. Hon. T. A. Crerar Urges Closer Study by People of the _ Place of Mining in the National Economy. Advance Wan semen ts Published Every MONDAY and THMHURSDAY It is impossible to estimate the inâ€" crease in the number indirectly emâ€" ployed as a result of the industry‘s growth. Nevertheless, the demands of the industry for supplies and equipâ€" ment has kept pace with its growth, with a consequent increase in employâ€" ment in those industries supplying materials and services. In 1934 our mines expended for supplies and equipâ€" ment, including freight and electric power, approximately 75 million dolâ€" lars, and in 1938 this amount had inâ€" creased to 125 million dollars. An inâ€" Because of its particular rapid growth, our mining industry has perâ€" haps contributed more than any other single Canadian industry towards openâ€" ing up new fields of employment, not only directly but indirectly,. Back in 1934, the industry afforded direct emâ€" ployment to 73,500 workmen, with a total payroll of over 88 million dollars, In 1938 the number employed had inâ€" creased to approximately 112,000 and the payroll had grown to 140 million dollars. Thus, it is estimated that more than 38,000 new jobs have been directly created by the mining industry in the past 5 years. Actually, it is probable that the number is much larâ€" ger, as the foregoing figures do not include prospectors or those employed by small mining syndicates. Small wonder, then, that Canadians in every walk of life are toâ€"day beginâ€" ning to appreciate the importance of mining to our national welfare, more especially when it is realized that this growth has taken place during the most difficult years of Canada‘s history. Yet, even as recently as 10 years ago there was a tendency on the part of many Canadians to regard the industry merely as an incidental feature in the Dominion‘s economy, important enough perhaps, but worthy of little serious attention. Nevertheless, at that time its foundations had been laid. Huge deposits of base metals were being deâ€" veloped. At Trail, at Flinflon, at Sudâ€" bury, and at Noranda, large metallurâ€" gical plants had been erected. and Canada was showing promise of beâ€" coming one of the world‘s leading proâ€" ducers of nickel, copper, lead and zinc, Our gold output had been increasing steadily, and when an impetus was given by the increase in the price of gold, prospecting activity spread to all sections of the Dominion. By 1935, in the very face of worldâ€"wide depression the industry set a new record in the value of production. It repeated the achievement in 1936, and again in 1937, in which year metals and minerals to the total value of over 457 million dolâ€" lars were produced. It has been estimated that Canada has produced during her entire lifeâ€" time minerals valued at slightly more than seven billion eight hundred milâ€" lion dollars. Of that total, approxiâ€" mately 24 per cent has been produced since the end of 1933. This means that newly created wealth to the extent of one billion eight hundred and fifty million dollars has been poured into the economic structure of Canadian enterprise during the past 5 years. The effect of this infusion of new wealth at this particular time must be evident to all. In fact, the London Economist, a Journal that enioys a worldâ€"wide repuâ€" tation as an interpreter of political and economic developments, in commenting upon what it describes as "Canada‘s escape from the severity of the Amerâ€" ican recession" airects particular atâ€" tention to our mining industry, more especially to our gold production, and to our exports of base metals. Toâ€"night let us review briefly the growth of the mining industry since 1933â€"a period that is not only suffiâ€" ciently long to allow for a comparison of the growth of the industry. but emâ€" braces a length of time when, due to ‘listurbed conditions throughout the world, progress in almost every direcâ€" tion has been at a standstill. The following is the full text of an address given a few days ago by Hon. T. A. Crerar, Minister of Mines for the Dominion. Five Years of Canadian Mining Progress It has been my ‘privilege on various occasion during the past few years to point out the extent of some of our natural resources, and the part their development is playing in our national welfare. at Timmins, Ont Canada teresting example of how the demands of the industry affect manufacturing is given in the case of grinding balls. In 1935 the production of those balls in Canada amounted to 17,000 tons, valued at threeâ€"quarters of a million dollars, and in 1937 the output had inâ€" creased to 28,000 tons, with a valued of one and a half million dollars, Equally .: important is the contribuâ€" tion of mining to the growth of other manufacturing industries, Ten years ago the smelting, refining and facricatâ€" ing industry was in tenth placte, acâ€" cording to value of production, amonsg Canadian â€" manufacturing industries. Last year it was well in the lead. with a gross output exceeding 200 million dollars. <As a result, our exports of base metals in 1938 amounted to 125 million dollars, compared with 66 million dolâ€" lars in 1934. Morgéover, a close relationship exists between mining and the chemical inâ€" dustry, as many chemicals are derived from minerals At present the value of chemicals manufactured in Canada is in excess of 100 million dollars annuâ€" ally Meets First and Third Mondays of each moth in the Oddfellows Hall, Visiting Brethren Welcome Major J.
