John Frank‘s House Men Suggest Work for 200,000 Toronto, Feb,. 22. â€"(Special to The Advance)â€"Works project and training camps to provide work with wages for two hundred thousind men are recomâ€" mended as the only immediate solutiin for unemployment in a statement issued today by th> John Frank‘s House Assoâ€" ciation of Toronto. Composed of one hundred unemployâ€" ed men in residence at John Frank‘s House, the members are transients who come from and have travelled through all parts of the Dominion. Their plan is based to meet conditions which they themselves have experienced. Cautioning, however, that such camps must be small, if they are to rehabiliâ€" tate and mak» selfâ€"reliant citizens of the workers, the Association warns against the formation of large camps, such as are urged in the Canadian Corps plan, predicting that large camus would ~become dangerous breeding places for discontent and that the imâ€" gimentation, necessary for discipline, would cause serious trouble. The Association advocates two types of campsâ€"a combined work and trainâ€" ing scheme, for men under 25. and a straight works camp for older men. The plan specifies wages of a dollar per day for the younger workers who are receiving training and 35¢ per hour for the older workers. It suggests a means for training skilled craftsmen and reâ€" commends a general housecleaning of government employment bureaux. The complete text of the statement folâ€" lows: Association of Transients Point to Danger of Present Sitâ€" uation and Urge Prompt Action. Urge Two Types of Camps. Should be Small They Say. This statement is written and dâ€" dressed to you in the hope that the carefully considered opinion of one hundred transient men, typical in every way of many thousands of Canida‘s unfortunate transients, may prove of value to you in your efforts to bring about a solution to Canada‘s unemâ€" ployment problem. We, the members ‘of John Frank‘s House, believe that every man should have the right to work and to receive a rcasonable living wage for his efforts. We consider that, when potentially emâ€" ployable men are unable to find such work, great harm is done in a very short time both to the nation and to the persons concerned. At present, many thousands of young Canadians who, during the past few years left the municipality of their "lesal residence" and weni in search of work wherever they thought it might be found, are unab‘e to find gainful employment. Many are wasting their youth and beeoming prospective public charges by working in temporary jobs like serfs for their keep. Many more are hungry, illâ€"clad, withâ€" out permanent shelter. Undernourishâ€" ed or incorrestly "Ted, Tacking® prevenâ€" tive medical treatment, subject to merâ€" ciless exposure to all seasons, their physical condition has suffered badly. Idle, or trekking a great deal of the time, their ability to do things . as slowed down. Their plight. and their numbers, represent a situation many times more grave than federal authoriâ€" ties seem willing to admit. ‘These men set out to seek work at living wages and, despite the unforâ€" tunate effects of their exporiences, that is what most of them still want. In our opinion it would be a serious misâ€" take to provide them with. reliéf â€" or hostilization, expect on a very short emergency basis, for such a course, if continued. might convert them into permanent relief seekers. _ The only answer to their problem is immediate rehabilitation and gainful employment.

It is generally acknowledged that, since the break down of the apprentice system in Canâ€" ada, the source of supply for various types of skilled craftsmen has been cut off. Therefore, we should suggest that a limited number of carefully selected men be chosen from the camps ~\nd placed in industryâ€"their salary being shared by government and employer during their training period.

These camps shou d be under {> control of the Dominion Department of Labourâ€"not of the Deâ€" partment of Dofence, and certainly not under the thumb of any seifâ€"appointed group of exâ€"military men or private | citizens, however wellâ€"meaning. lation of commerce and industry until Canadian hbusiness reaches that point where it can provide employment, at lving wages, for all who hones‘ly seek it, Such a happy situation, however, may be slow in arriving and at presâ€" ent there is urgent need for Speed beâ€" cause idle men become daily le:s emâ€" ployable. In direct criticism of existing wellâ€" publicized plans ior larg: camps, we submit that large camps become breedâ€" ing places for discontent. We predictâ€" with confidence based on expsrience and cbservationâ€"that the regimentaâ€" tion, necessary for discipline in large camps, would bring immediate and serâ€" ious trouble from transients. If, howâ€" ever, such regimentation were successâ€" ful, it would merely increase the diffiâ€" culty in reâ€"establishing individuals in civil life at the end of their enlistment. In effect, it would fit them for little except continued life in camps or in standing army. If, however, the underâ€" lying purpose of these large camp plans is o increase Canada‘s standing army, we should suggest, with all sincerity, that the best way to accomplish this would be by increasing the standing army, not by establishing a private army under another name. To return to our suggestion of small camps. we should recommend that campers be divided into age groups and that the camps be of two types in orâ€" der to meet the distinctly different reâ€" quirements of these age groups. One type of campâ€"a combined work project and training schemeâ€"should be for men under 25 yzsars of age. In these camps, men should be housed, fed, clothed, and paid a wage Of a ‘dollar a day. Their daily schedule }should be almost equally divided beâ€" tween honest work, under rigid siluperâ€" vision, on useful works projects, and between training of a vocational and educamonal nature fitting them to enâ€" ter primary or secondary industry as selfâ€"reliant citizens. *A "Second type of camp, for men of over 25 years of age, should be estabâ€" lished on a straigzht works camp basis, paying 35¢ per hour for work honestly done, less reasonable charges for mediâ€" cal care and housing. Here again, for the good of the men, it would be advisâ€" able to make a further division in age groups, setting aside some camps for men over 40 years of age.

Still Asking Aid for Prospectors Let us say chere andâ€"now that the suggestions were not our own and that w> said at the time only that we beâ€" lieved they "contain at least the live germs of a policy that could be adopted with reasonable assurance of benefit to the industry and the country at large." Discussion of Question Conâ€" tinued by Writer. As a general porposition, we are AS stroncly against Government interâ€" ference and subsidizationâ€"in wheat, metals or anything elseâ€"as even the most cutspoken critiecs of the plan sugâ€" gested. In this case, however, it is not straight subsidization. . We look upon return of a part of the taxes wrung from the mining industry as a very different thing and merely an effort on the part of Government to invest a small part of its income has been derived. It is very certain: thatâ€" if something be not done to stimulate prospecting, and that very shortly, Government will soon be minus very appreciable part of its annual intake and will be devising still further refinâ€" ed and torturous methods of taxing the gengral public to make up the deâ€" cit. We regard the fear of politicial inâ€" fluence. as suggested by some critics, as on> that does not deflect the regard wi‘th which the public universally looks upon the various departments of mines in the provinces affected. In every case they have proved that their perâ€" sonnel can be trusted and that the everâ€"dominating desire has been proâ€" tection and sensible encouragement of the prospector, miner and operaor. And now, turning to one of the more emphatic critics, let us ‘take up the comments of a wellâ€"known weekly minâ€" ing journal of this city, which jumps into the fray flourishing battleâ€"axe. "Subsidize the Prospector? No!" No equivocation there! And then it goes on to say that the less interference in government the better, and mentions patronage, graft, political pressure, criticism from the uninformed politiâ€" cians and other dire development as predictable. But the real cream on this milk of criticism lies in these quotations: "Govâ€" ernments have already done considerâ€" able damaze to the proespecting and mining industries. We are all familiar with the regulations which have interâ€" fered with the distribution of mining securities. These regulations made the mistake of distinguishing between the prospector and his partner, the grubâ€" staker or backer, who are really an inâ€" separable team. If the backer is unâ€" ale. through pooling and other regulaâ€" tions, to make money, his prospecting partner is finally in the same box. And then, a little further on: "The government, through its regulation of the sale of securities, has some responâ€" sibility." We submit that these remarks can only apply te the Securities Act and its administration and therefore have cur ccmplete *ndorsement. But the Act is on the statute books of this and other provinces. It cannot be expunged or modified in time to do the prospector much gocd this year, or next, even if seems very unlikely, and we are thereâ€" THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO wWHOLE COMMUNITY HAPPY AT PURIM BALL such a cours> were adopted, which fore confronted with an impasse in chat direction. Some way must be found around it, if it is the real cause of our troubles. or some other measure devisâ€" ed to counteract it. Since our conâ€" temporary‘s argument suggests that Government itself has been mainly reâ€" sponsible for the present unfortunate situation, it might subscrite to the sugâ€" gestion that it would be poetic justice if Government were called upon to pay the damage. In other words, if this particular publication had adopted a different atâ€" titude a few years ago and had stood foursquare with the prospector and his interests, we mizht not have been dumped into the tanglefoot of ridiculous laws, rules, regulations and inhibitions in which we now struggle and which are surely strangling the spirit of adâ€" veonture and dollarâ€"dare so absolutely essential to continued prosperityâ€"which means everlasting expansionâ€"of the prospecting and mining industries. We are always glad to take to our outstretched arms a prodigal son who returns after gallivanting around in dalliance, but, even so, we cannot withâ€" draw all our love and admirat‘on for the sons who remained at home and fought off the wolves of bureaucracy, or at least did their level best and went down fighting. So much for that, with the final reâ€" mark that the space used has been too generous for comment upon destrucâ€" tive criticism. ‘Let the publication proâ€" pose something better and let it then get behind the plan and push, instead of actively or tacitly helping along legislation which has been proved deâ€" structive in the land from which it was borrowed by a hysterical Canada in the days of nearly ten years azo, when we sent to New York, that hive of paragonic financial virtue, for a Govâ€" ernment official to teach our citizens hnonesty. And, since then, be it reâ€" membered. for full measure. we have jumped at the crack of the whip of the unspeakable SE.C., which has killed enâ€" terprise in its own country and seeks to do the same job here. We are definitely concerned about the condition of things in this proâ€" vince and elsewhere in the Dominion and are going to continue to do our best to find some way by which they can be improved. We have other plans under consideration now, for presentaâ€" tion to our readers when space will permit. . One in particular originates with Mr. Justice Godfrey. {formerly Ssecurities Commissioner, who sught to, and doss, know the situation by heart and who realizes fully that it is not all that could be dssired. Of that, later! Quebec Plans Extension Provincial Mines Bureau Quzebec, Feb. 22.â€"Reorganization and expansion of the geological department of Quebec Minss Bureau to meet the "increasing importance of the mineral industry of the province" was annountâ€" ed Friday by Mines Minister Gagnon. The minister said the government had decided to replace the bureau‘s geology section by two divisions, one to carry on geological surveys demand to carry on grological mapping of Quebec province and the other to "unâ€" dertake more detailed studies of the geology of mineral deposits‘.. The first new section of ical surveys will be under 1 of Dr. I.. W. ‘The division of mingral depos directed by Dr. B. T. Deni With the reorganization, the mines minister announced Dr. J. A. Dresser. Quebec‘s directinz geologist for the past 10 years, was to quit that position to direct preparation for the mines bureau of a comprehensive report on the geolâ€" ogy of the province." Mr. Gagnon said the new geo.oyicali Givision directors were "mining geoâ€" logists with very special training which designates them fully to the functions just assigned to them by the departâ€" ment." geoviog e directio: second. th ts, will b To Prove Once More That Gold is Where You Find It (From Toronto Telegram) We were talking to real oldâ€"timer vyesterday.

Creighton was two mirutes from a Swenson Cup win in Friday‘s N.B.HL. playoff which wound up a 1â€"1 overtime draw with Frood. A thrown stick in the last two minutes scored Frood‘s goal, the award bsing made by the reâ€" ferees, The officials ruled Hogarth, Crgighton winger, threw his stick inâ€" side the Creigh:on defensive zone as Grant bore in on Sargent, Creighton goalie. Grant. a Prood def>nceman, had been in the penalty box box just before that when Rozzinit scored Creighton‘s goal. Ernie Mosher, Creighton coach, proâ€" testsa violently on the awarded goal. He stepped out to centre ice and arâ€" gued with Referee "Dutch" Hamel who escorted him over to the league sscreoâ€" tary, Sam Buder, for confirmation of the rule. Mosher stood in the box, after the secretary read the rule awardâ€" ing a goal and mads his way back to the team box when a penalty stopped play. A casualty of the first period was Jim Dewey, Frood contreman, whose left thum»> was broken. Dewey was forced to leave the game with the break, which came wheon Nicholson slashed at his stick on a rush. The break was the second on Dewey‘s lefil hand this season,. Minus Dewey the Frood attack did not spark Friday. It was typical playoff hockey. Both teams checked like leeches and waited for the breaks. Brilliant goaling by both Carey and Sargent made the scoring a mighty tough job. Defensively both sides made strong showings. Tupâ€" ling was a standout for Creighton in general The Grahamâ€" Lavigne defence with Freod slowed Creighton‘s first line, Nicholson partiâ€" cularly, to a wa‘lk in the first frame. Japan Has New Bicycle Manufactured from Fibre A bicycle with main parts made enâ€" tirely of fibre and stiff paper materials was recently announced here, says the Japan Times Weekly, as being ready for the market, and is causing a conâ€" siderable sensation in bicycle manuâ€" facturing circles. here. The bicycle, which is likely to revoluticnize the enâ€" tire bicycle manufacturing indusitry. is the first of its kind to be produced in any country, and involves a frame of fibre (also saddle and other minor parts) and mudguards of stiff, hard paperematerial. Although the price of the new biâ€" cycle has been placed at 60 yen (a yen is about 28 cents) for the present, it is expecited to be reduced substantially when mass production methods beâ€" come possible in its manufacture, The "paper bicycle" has been named the "kokusakuâ€"go" and is the direct result of the shortage of iron and steel matzrials which has practically killed the manufacturing end of the industry.
