But this will not mean the end of Mr. Bradette’s endeavours. It is very sincerely to be hoped that he will continue to urge the necessity for an arm- oury building in Timmins and that this will be included in the supplementary estimates. Mr. Bradette would not be asked to advocate this ex- penditure were it not in the public interests. The authorities at Ottawa can be assured that he would not ask for it were it not both necessary and desirable. He takes his duties seriously. both as representative of the people and as a member of the Dominion parliament. In case of any world trouble in which the British Empire is in- volved, it is very imperative that the mines and other wealth of the North be amply defended from enemy approach and from enemy-inspired sabotage. For this purpose it is necessary that the militia be at the fullest possible strength and the highest efficiency. Without adequate training quarters this effficieney and strength is not pos- sible. Recent petitions for the erection of an arm' oury building at Timmins are well grounded in- deed. The public should give Mr. Bradette the fullest support in asking this new building for the North. and the government may be assured that the case he will present will be fully supported by the facts. An editorial in The Ottawa Journal on Satur- day concluded with these words: “Ontario muni- cipalities gradually are being deprived of the free- dom they once enjoyed to run their local affairs, and it is high time an issue was made of this re- grettable trend." To use a slang phrase: “Isn‘t it the truth?" The wonder is that The Ottawa Journalwand other leading newspapers of the provinceâ€"have not uttered this needed truth be- fore. Instead they have been ‘wasting time and temper attacking the so-called padlock law of Quebec, and seeing a menace to liberty and de- mocracy in the distance, .while freedom is being choked to death an their own doorsteps. Even Before Mr. Bradettc was elected as member for this constituency, there was a tendency to believe that the Dominion member was less important to this part of the North than the member for Legis- lature. The idea was prevalent that the North had little to expect from Ottawa, but for its needs had to look to Toronto. In his early campaign speeches, however, Mr. Bradette emphasized cer- tain very definite needs in this country that came under the jurisdiction of the Dominion Govern- ment, and he promised that, if elected, he would do his utmost to see that these needs were sup- plied. A post office building for Timmins was one item that he mentioned, and a similar building for Cochrane was another. Both these matters were pressed so well and the cases explained so effectively that Timmins and Cochrane have ade- quate and presentable post office buildings. Much of the credit for these advantages to the towns named must go to Mr. Bradette, whose patience. persistence, unvarying good nature, sincerity and study of each case, has made it difficult for the powers-that-be to side-track him. If South Por- cupine and Kapuskasing get needed post office buildings, that will mean four very necessary pubâ€" lic buildings secured largely through the efforts of Mr. Bradette for this riding. Naturally South Porcupine people will be pleas- ed to note the item of $35,500 for a public build- ing at that centre. as contained in the estimates tabled in the House of Commons last week. The item is for a post office building at South Porcu- pine, a service greatly needed by the growth of the town in the past few years. An item of $27,- 000 in the estimates for a public building at Kap~ uskasing will be equally pleasing to the people of Kapuskasing, for that town also is in need of a new post office building. In this matter, how- ever, satisfaction shouuld not be confined tc South Porcupine or Kapuskasing. All the people of this riding should feel particularly gratified at these items in the estimates, because they are one more indication of the effort and talent given by Mr. Joseph Bradette, MP, to the real service of his constituency. Indeed, in one way. the people in other sections of the riding have partiâ€" cular reason for gratification, because any bene- fits of this kind are of value to all the North, and yet they had no special work or trouble in the matter. The people of South Porcupine, seeing the need for a new post office certainly did givr effort and interest to having the need filled Thanks for any success won goes in the first place to the people of South Porcupine, and especially to the Kiwanis Club there for the excellent leader- ship shown. They secured the promise of Mr Bradette to do all possible to see that the need was met, and as usual he has redeemed his prom- ise. Subscription Ra Les: Osman-33.00 Per Year. United State TIMMINS.

Yet here this spring the Ontario government is mixing them in gorg- eous way until the taxation concoction of the province today is largely composed of liquor and gasoline returns. It is doubtful if a better battleground to “stop Hitler” could be chosen than Poland. The Polish peOple have been justly famous throughout the centuries for their powers in battle. They are not only brave, but skilful, alert, intelligent. To reach them Germany would have to travel through territory actually hostile to Hitler and all his works. His line through this territory would have to be guarded against a brave people who have reason for deep hostility. From reports it would appear that the Polish people have the advantage over the Czechoslovakians in that they are better equipped with arms and other means of defence. It is believed that the Polish people would be able fully to defend themselves against all the might that Germany could muster against them until such time as their allies could come to their aid. There is a heart-hurting belief in many minds that the same might have been true about the Czechoslovakians had the other democratic pow- ers given direct promise of aid. Poland, however. has this promise of help, and Hitler may well hesitate about attacking a foe like Poland. It is not the first time that Poland has held back the barbarian hordes and saved EurOpe and freedom. The North Land is again showing what it can do in the way of weather. * the most appropriate thing to do seems to be to wish them “Better luck next time!” EGRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACERS When you meet a Hollywood couple who have just been married-«the bride for the third or fourth time, and the groom for the fifth or sixth For the moment there appears to be less chance of war than usual. This apparent removal of immediate war danger seems to have been achiev- ed by some lusty threats of war. from Britain and France, both of which countries have announced in no uncertain terms that if Hitler moves against Poland, as appeared to be threatened, then the democratic nations will immediately join with Poland to “stop Hitler.” Hitler's address on Sat- urday lacked the truculence of detailed threats that marked other recent speeches by the form- er paperhanger. Mussolini’s recent address was also lacking in direct menace, though possessing a few passages of disquieting generalities. The words quoted from The Ottawa Journal were inspired by the bill introduced in the legis- lature to give the Municipal Board power to force the city of Toronto to annex certain suburbs that the city does not desire to add to its boundaries. It may be true that The Journal is particularly interested in the case because there is a some- what similar proposal about some suburbs of Otâ€" tawa. It should not be forgotten, however, that Timmins or any other municipality in the prov- ince may be the next victim. Municipalities in the Windsor area have already been victimized. despite their protests. Mayor Day, of Toronto. refers to the proposal as “highâ€"handed and dieâ€" tatorial,” and claims it will add several mills of taxation to Toronto’s yearly burden. The prin- ciple may be good politics for the provincial govâ€" ernment. but it is surely bad medicine for the municipalities. For some years past The Advance has been urging that newspapers and public men take up in earnest the battle for the rights of municipalities. Municipal government is the near- est approach to self-government that the people in general can hope to enjoy. If this form of self- government is filched from them it will be a loss indeed to democracy. It might be a good thing for a month or two for all newspapers to worry a little less about alleged loss of freedom and dem- ocracy in Europe and in Quebec and elsewhere, and turn their editorial guns on the systematic plan to steal away from the pCOple of the munici- palities the right to govern themselves and ad- minister their own affairs. though the Quebec padlock law were all that it is charged with beingâ€"(and as a matter of fact it is not'any more menacing of freedom than some of the liquor laws and regulations about lcenses and taxes)â€"-it would not prejudice the freedom of a single loyal and law-abiding citizen in Quebec, let alone in Ontario. But the attitude of Quebec, let alone in Ontario. But the attitude of governments towards municipalities has become such in recent years that unless a halt is called. municipal self-government will be a thing of the past. This is to be the more regretted because the management of the citizen’s own municipal affairs is perhaps the closest approach there is to self- government. Hardly a day passes but there is a note of the government stepping in to compel a municipality to this or that local action or refus- ing to allow the municipality to expend its own money. Everything nowadays has to be approved by the central government, and if the tendency continues, the municipal heads will be little more than rubber stamps for the province.
