At the same time, there seems something amiss in referring to the hero who some days ago saved the life of an eightâ€"yearâ€"old boy at Kapuskasing. by the term, "only a transient." The hero, whose name is given as W. A. Bernard, in the words of the despatch, was lolling near the river when an eightâ€"yearâ€"old boy named Lawrence Dodds, who The name "transient‘" has been given to the unâ€" employed who move from one town to anotherâ€" often it seems without any regard for the chances of employment in the places they visit. The "transients‘"‘ keep on the move, but often it seems their moves have little purpose. The North has seen much of the "transients." In the past few years they have visited the North literally by the thousands. Passing and reâ€"passing through this North, the word "transient" seems a fitting one. In the main they have been a quiet, orderly lot. There appears to have been little of the criminal or the vicious about them, hence the name "transâ€" lient" has carried no particular discredit or illâ€" will. It has been taken for granted that they are the victims of illâ€"fortune, and while the quality of desire to travel that has given them their name has not advantaged either the communities or the "transients," there is little of illâ€"will entertained on either side. There should be very general interest in the plan adopted by St. Joseph township. If it works well, there are sure to be other townships, towns and villages adopting the same system. It would also be interesting to know if there are already any other townships or towns in Ontarioâ€"in Canâ€" adaâ€"using such a plan. The Manitoulin would have reason to be still more proud, if one of its islands was the first to introduce to Canada a reâ€" gular system of general health protection for all in the municipality. matter recently to the newspapers, and incidentalâ€" ly he suggested the need for municipal health measures and their general value. "Times have been hard on the Island, and the doctor, having trouble collecting his accounts, would have been forced to leave," the reeve said. "Two years ago when we advertised for a doctor, he was the only one willing to come without a guarantee. In case ne were to leave now, we would have to give anâ€" other doctor a guarantee to secure his services. That would mean cost to the municipality without control. We have a good doctor in Dr. Trefey, and we‘d like to keep him." There are those who advocate various forms of state medical care, but against this idea is the British dislike of regimentation and the objection to the creation of another central body to dominâ€" ate another sphere in individual life. There is, of course, a growing realization of the vital imâ€" portance of health to a nation. Some months ago the Teachers‘ Federation did a notable public serâ€" vice by a series of articles and addresses emphasizâ€" ing the necessity for physical fitness from a dozen different standpoints. Totalitarian â€" countrics have realized the need for greater care of the health of the individual as of vital importance to the state, and the measures to assure this end have been along the same line as those common to dictatorâ€"ruled lands. It is not likely that Britâ€" ish countries will take kindly to these methods. It is more likely here that any steps toward anyâ€" thing approaching state medicine, as it is called, will develop from local and individual efforts. The plan of the Hollinger Employees‘ Medical Service might be taken as an illustration. This service is probably the most complete and effective in Canâ€" ada and at a comparatively low rate of cost. Other corporations have been encouraged by the success of the Hollinger Employees‘ Medical Service to atâ€" tempt similar services. From the success of these private ventures, the idea no doubt will spread to the general benefit. In the same way, it may be noted that the tendâ€" ency in Canada is to try municipal, rather than state medicine. In this connection there may be historic significance in recording the case of St. Joseph township, St. Joseph Island, Manitoulin. This small township municipality intends on July ist to inaugurate a municipal medical system. Under the St. Joseph plan Dr. H. S. Treféy will give medical and surgical service to every permanent resident of the township, receiving in return salary of $2,250. The municipality will collect $2.40 annually from each resident to pay for the doctor‘s services, there being about 940 permanent residents of the township. The plan provides only medical and surgical services, and does not include hospital treatment, so it is not complete, but at teast it is a start in the direction of assuring the health of all in the township. It is interesting to note the story underlying this unusual example of municipal medical and surgical service. Reeve J. S. Tranter, head of the St. Joseph township municipality explained the Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Assoclation; Ontartoâ€" Qurbec Newspaper Association; Class ‘A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26 â€" PHONES RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and ThursdGay by: GEO, LAKE, Ownerc and Publisher Subscription Raies: Timmins, Ont., Monday, June 12th, 1939 Cbhe Yorcrupine Aduance "HE WAS A TRANSIENT" TIMMINXE, QONTARIO United Statesâ€"$3.50 Per Yea:s The first supply of oil for the streets arrived the beginning of last week. The rain arrived at the weekâ€"end. There is no justice in this world any more. A recent United States publication refers to the littleâ€"known fact that there is a poetic inscription inside the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. In these troublous days, it would be a comfort and solace to the oppressed in many lands to believe that the words in that inscription still were true and in effect:â€"â€" "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempestâ€"tossed, to me; I lift my lamp beside the golden door." One of those gentlemen with statistical turns of mind has announced that no less than eight of the names of the states comprising the United States of America begin with the letter M.â€"Maine, Maryâ€" land, Massachussets, Michigan, Minnesota, Misâ€" sissippi, Missouri and Montana. It is added that other letters in the alphabet are used only once or twice as initial letters in the States. The M.‘s have it. In Canada, only one province, Maniâ€" toba begins with M. Here the favourite initial seems to be N. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are in the N. class, the other seven provinces each starting with a different letter. In the glorious reception given the King and Queen in the United States, Canadians feel the friendship thus shown is also an honour from its great neighbour to Canada. There is much talk these days about the fact that the royal visit will more closely cement the friendship of Britain and the United States. That may be true, but it is still more the fact that the generous hospitality accorded the royal visitors will give a more tender turn to the affection between Canada and the United States. Every honour, every friendship, every cheer given by the people of the United States to King George and Queen Elizabeth is takâ€" en as a compliment and a mark of friendship to Canada and Canadians. Toâ€"day there is a warmâ€" er feeling for the United States in Canada because of the right royal reception given Canada‘s King and Queen. Evidence of this fact is given by the delight with which Canadians have followed the triumphal march of Their Majesties through the United States centres visited. Despatches note the facts that ‘"The King and Queen are accepted as O.K."; that "Their Majesties knocked ‘em cold"; that "The Queen was a regular wow"; that "the crowds went absolutely gaâ€"ga over Their Majesties"; that ‘"the people of these United States consider Their Majesties are simply grand people." Canadians know the true meaning of these expressions. They know the people of the United States are a more demonstrative people than the Canadians, but, like the Canadians, when they feel deeply in their hearts, they feel that even cheers, and ordinary language, are inadequate. When a New York newspaper says that "the King and Queen are swell folks, not stuffed shirts," Canadians fecel that though the language may not be termed eleâ€" gant, the sentiment is all right and comes from the heart.* In the words of the gracious @ueen herself to the veteran at Ottawa who had made a slip in formal decorum, the people of Canada may well say to the people of the United States, "It‘s all right. We understand." From the "capture of Quebec" when King George and Queen Elizabeth first set foot on Canâ€" adian soil, to the day last week when the royal couple left Canada for a visit to the United States of America, Their Majesties the King and Queen have had a triumphal, a truly victorious journey through the Dominion. It is too much to say that they won the loyalty of all in Canada. The people of this Dominion were loyal before Their Majesties arrived. But the gracious royal couple have deepened that loyalty and given it a touch of genuine affection that will last through all the years. @uick thought, prompt action, courage, the spirit of sacrificeâ€"these were the virtues displayâ€" ed by that transient. They are qualities held no doubt by many another transient of toâ€"day. But these gallant attributes should not be the role of the "transient." It will be an ill day if these hign virtues are to be classed as transient. It is an equally ill day if men who have these thingsâ€" bravery, coolness, keen intelligence â€" who are ready to risk life to help a child in distressâ€"are to be allowed to remain as "transients" in a land where there should be work and opportunity for all. GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER was playing by the riverside lost his balance and fell into the swirling waters. The lad was swept away at once, and would undoubtedly have been drowned, had prompt and courageous action been lacking. Without stopping to remove impeding clothing, the transient went to the rescue with promptness and courage. He swam after the boy, who by this time had been swept into the rapids at the bend of the river. Bernard went into the rapids, caught the exhausted boy, and bearing him | up made for the shore, effecting one of the most | gallant rescues in the story of the Kapuskasing river. | ROYALTY CONQUERS {HE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMM.NS3, ONTARIO Toronto Telegram: The chronic bo rower pays nothingâ€"not even his r spects. â€" Mr. and Mrs. C.
