Canadaâ€"$3.00 Per Year When semiâ€"official announcement suggestea that the reason the North was being ignored in the matter of the itinerary of the King and Queen in their tour of Canada was because the railway line between Nakina and Hearst was not safe for the royal train, The Advance said that strict inâ€" vestigation should be made of the matter. If the line in question had been allowed to deteriorate to such an extent as to be unsafe, then certainly investigation was demanded. There was surely an immediate and pressing Canadian National Railways problem if miles of track were unsafe and yet used for ordinary traffic day by day. When there was a washout of the track in the Long Lac area and heavy trains were routed over the Naâ€" kinaâ€"Hearst line, investigation seemed to be still more necessary. If the track were really unsafe, surely someone should be prosecuted for routing trains over it.. The need for investigation seemed to be still more urgent when The Northern Triâ€" bune of Kapuskasing discovered that one heavy train had been run over this stretch of allegedly unsafe track at a rate approximately an average of over sixty miles per hour. TIMMINX®S, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontariloâ€" Qurbec Newspaper Association; Class ‘A" Weekly Grouap OFFICE 26 â€" PHONES â€"â€"â€" RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO,. LAKE, Owner and Publisher Bubscription Raes: Of course, there were many who«did not believe that the Nakinaâ€"Hearst track was at all unsafe, but that the story to that effect was simply an excuse. Some of them did not use the word "exâ€" cuse" but rather employed a threeâ€"letter word for an untruth, prefixed by a fourâ€"letter word not favoured in polite society as an adjective. Were this the correct view of the case, investigation and penalty seemed equally necessary, as it apâ€" pears actually criminal for employees to lie to the public in regard to the public business that is takâ€" ing so much a part of the public earnings to supâ€" port. If the Nakinaâ€"Hearst line was unsafe an investigation was certainly warranted to deterâ€" mine why the track was allowed to get into such condition, with the consequent imperilling of the lives of people travelling over it. If the Nakina â€" Hearst line was safe, the investigation was equally demanded to decide whether deliberate lies should be handed out to the public to conceal something else, and also to discover what the "something else" might be. In any case it did appear, and still appears, to The Advance that the matter should not be perâ€" mitted to pass without the most thorough investiâ€" gation. The need for investigation was further increased when semiâ€"official announcement was made that the royal train could not pass through Orillia and Barrie, because that section of track was not considered safe for the passage of heavy trains. It should be remembered in considering this later excuse that Barrie and Orillia are on one of the main lines of the national railway. Is it a fact that this section of track has also been alâ€" lowed to deteriorate to the point where it is not safe? Doesn‘t such a suggestion demand the most thorough enquiry? Would it not be well to investigate the whole Canadian National Railway to find how many sections of track are believed by the officials to be unsafe for travel? Is not enâ€" quiry urgently needed to determine whether after all the money poured into the National Railways system, material sections of track are actually unsafe for travel? The situationâ€"if the word of officials is to be takenâ€"seems to be a very serious one indeed. If the word of the officials is not to be taken at face value, the situation is equally serious. A very strict enquiry seems to be absoâ€" lutely necessary in the public interests. Members of parliament will be very derelict in their duty if they do not bring this matter out in the open and show conclusively whether portions of track in constant use are unsafe for travel, or, on the other hand, that officials deliberately have given out false information and are foolish enough to think they can get away with it. "Why not write an editorial on the dust nuisâ€" ance?" a Timmins lady asked last week. It would be inadequate to say that Timmins suffers from a "dust nuisance." It goes far beyond that. It is a dust menaceâ€"a menace to health, to comâ€" fort, to property. It would be difficult to exaggerâ€" ate the cost to Timmins of the menace of the dust that blows on the, streets. The injury to lawns and gardens is apparent. So is the damage to carpets, floors, furniture and furnishings. The harm to health may not be so apparent, but it is none the less very real and very serious. The Adâ€" vance has always believed that there was a direct connection between the large number of cases ofi pulmonary trouble in this country and the amount of dust that blows continually during a part of the year. The in this country is of the type that would favour the cure rather than the creation of lung maladies. Housing conâ€" dtions may give some little explanation of the prevalance of pulmonary diseases in this part of Ohe Yorrupine Advane?e Timmins, Ont., Monday, June 5th, 1939 PAE POUR INVESTIGATION NEEDED United Statesâ€"$3.50 Per Yeas With high wind on several recent days the dust menace has been acute here. Sunday of this week there was enough dust driven in all directfions from the roads to do serious harm. Some people have been complaining because summer seems so long in coming. It seems that they should pray for oil on the streets before even hoping for spring. Every year it seems to be the sameâ€"perâ€" haps worse. With the experience of past years it is strange indeed that the town cannot apparently secure oil to stop the dust menace before it gets well started. the North, but by no means accounts for the large number of cases of this sort. It appears logical to accuse the blowing dust of some part of the matter. Much has been heard of the terrors of silica dust in the mines. It seems absurd to build roads from mine rock, allow the dust from such roads to blow as freely as it does in this town, and then not expect serious injury to the health of the people. It may be argued that in the mines the dust is confined. Of course, it has to be adâ€" mitted that there is no confining of the dust on the roadsâ€"there it certainly has freedom enough â€"but it does appear that in the public interests something should be done to lessen the menace. This year it was announced that a new method of financing the oiling of the streets was to be usâ€" ed. It was announced that the cost of the oiling was to be assessed against the properties abutting on the streets benefitted by the work. . Though some felt this plan was not only unfair, because the abatement of the dust nuisanceâ€"like fire proâ€" tection or any other community serviceâ€"was for. the general benefitâ€"and though there was a belxef that such a plan was not practical or legal, there was no serious objection made to the procedure. The dust menace was such that most people were ready to be taxed even unjustly if it meant the curbing of the evil. It was hoped that the oil would be applied early and generously, and someâ€" thing done to lessen the real menace of the dust. It is disappointing, to say the least, to find that the old plactice of letting the blowing dust have its evil way seems to be followed this year as in other years. For the sake of the comfort, the property, the health of the people, it would be well if allâ€"the authorities, as well as the publicâ€"â€" realized that the dust is a genuine and serious menace, and that something should be done about it, and at once. The thousands who journeyed from Timmins | and other parts of the North to see Their Majes â€" ties the King and Queen, at Sudbury toâ€"day do not excuse in any way thevignoring of the North in the matter of the royal itinerary. By train, byl motor car, by airplane, people from here have flocked by the thousands to Sudbury, spending time and money for the trip. It is not enough to. suggest that this is one of the most prosperous‘ parts of the Dominion, and that the people here had the money to make the trip possible. The cost of making the trip in both money and time was out of all proportion to what was required for the privelege in other sections of Ontario. There is no doubt that many who made the trip could not really afford to do soâ€"they simply felt that they could not afford to miss the opportunity. At the same time, thought should be given to the hundreds of thousands who were debarred from opportunity to see Their Majesties. With most of these it was the time rather than the cost that made it impossible. No other part of Ontario was treated in such way that a sight of the royal visitâ€" ors required the expenditure of so much time and expense. It is true that thousands were able, by sacrifice, to make the trip, but literally tens of thousands were completely stopped from any chance of enjoying this loyal privilege. The matâ€" ter would have been excusable if there had been valid reason, apart from political trickery, for the ignoring of this part of the North in planning the four. Scores upon scores of other distinguished visitors have been routed so that either on the way west or the return east, this country was * visited. By breaking this rule the government not only showed a mean disregard for the loyal people of the North but they also deprived the King and Queen from seeing one of the most important and interesting sections of all Canada. The politicians now will have the contract of explaining why this double wrong was perpetrated. In other words, there is the need, the demand, for explaining the i unexplainable. stt m P L â€"OPâ€" e e O ts lt lt DP itc i: : t ltA "Crowd of 50,000 Halts Royal Car in Edmonton by Swarming in Street" says a heading in The Globe and Mail Saturday. The headline writer who used that word "swarming" no doubt felt it was the Queen that attracted the swarming. "Kind hearts are more than coronets, and simâ€" ple faith than Norman blood," said the poet. But when kind hearts beat below the coronets, and royalty adds simple faith to noble lineage, then rovalty has new meaning for the poets.
