Suggests Giving King and Queen House in Canada King Has Homes in Sceotâ€" land, England, Why Not in Canada, South Africa®? "Give the King a House in Canada" is the title of a brief but most interâ€" esting article by D. Kermode Parr in Toronto Saturday Night. The article is very timely, and after the recent loyal demonstrations in Canada, with the senuine affection that is felt for the King and Quseen, most people will feel that the suggestion of Mr. Parr would be a very appropriate gesture. Here is the article by Mr. Parr, in full: "Give the King a Hcuse in Canada The crowd in Ottawa sang "Will ye no come ‘back again?" when the King and Queen were leaving the capital and there is good reason to hope that there will some day be an answer in a secâ€" ond royal visit. Even before Their Majesties reached Canada, the London Observer was commenting on the probâ€" ability that as time went on, the King would inevitably spend more and more of his time in the various dominions, now equal partrers in the commonâ€" wealth. Buildor Remodel N O W ! W. H. Severt welcomes the opporâ€" tunity to be of service to you and invites you to bring your building problems to him that he may help with plans, financing, etc. 25 Years Experience The King has a house in Sszeotland, where he is accustomed to spend a few weeks of restful holiday every summer. Why should he not have a house in Canada? ‘There should never asain be any attempt to cover all Canada in one terrific tour. The present journey has been invaluable and its triumphant sutcâ€" cess has done untold good, but it has clearly been extremely fatiguing, and nothing so tiring need be attempted in the future.

Perâ€" haps Australia and New Zealanad are too remote for frequent visits, but it does not take long in the right seasons of the year to travel from England to Canada or South Africa. It is agreed that South Africa is a fine region gdurâ€" ing the northern winter; and the magâ€" nificence of Canadian autumn condiâ€" tions is beyond question. Given a free choice, the King and Queen might ask nothing better than to spend a month in South Africa one year, a month in Canada the next, and so on in a series as regular as their migrations to Scotâ€" land, But it should surely be a month proâ€" vidinmz a large proportion of enjovable P f as s rest and peace. For that a house is needed. Well then, let‘s give the King a house, with a fervent petition that it may please Their Majesties to come and live in it for a few weeks from time to time. sharing Canada with their roval Canadian subjects. ooOslL _ _ .

Merâ€" chants who had accounts that they never expected to receive woere pleasurâ€" ably surprised when they were asked foi a detail statement and later were paid in full. It may be noted that the plan ¢f the Football Club worked most sucâ€" cessfully, both as to a great day of sports and to fine financial returns. ‘The committee appointed at an °nâ€" thusiastic meeting of the T.FP.C. inâ€" cluded: G. A. MacDonald, E. H. Bridâ€" ger, H. C. Garner, wW. P1G.0, J. W . EPAILL® ful and J. Thomas. There were complaints twenty years ago, even as toâ€"day of the dust fro mthe roads in the dry weather. On certain streets in the main part of the town the firemen used the hose and this helped some but, of course did not fill the bill as a complete dust layer for the town. The use of the water was very satisfactory, the sand drying out and blowing away again alâ€" most as scon as the cart had pased. In 12819 Mr. Vincent Woodbury urged the council to test out a plan of oiling the streets. He donated enough oil to give the plan a tryâ€"Oout. and maintain a proper footing. I P l t Twenty years ago the Timmins | 44 Fcotball Club inaugurated the plan C of giving to each of the schools here a l 8e footpall for the boys to play the Olda | 4T Country game. At that time there | M were only a few here interested in | at foctball. Bascball was the big game for these parts,but the football lovers were ’ S enthusiastic and what they lacked in“ number they made up in interest.

It was decided that the mayor | , of the town should be president of the| , organization; Mr. A. Borland, fire chied, t was elected viceâ€"president and business 1 manager, and Mr. J. T. Easton, secretâ€" f aryâ€"treasurer, until such time as A con-\ stitution and byâ€"law should be adopted. For the present at least the members will supply their own uniforms. Ways and means for the purchase of the inâ€" struments was left in the hands of a strong committee including Fire Chief Borland, J. T. Easton, Robt. Simms, ; 1 | T Bennéett and others. _ Already 25‘ former bandsmen have handed intheir names as desiring to join and several others are expected to be secured. Mr. E. W. Johnson, a former bandmaster of the Queson‘s Own, has been appointed leader, and the new band starts out with good prosects for success. ‘Those interested in the organization explain that the purpose is to provide a musâ€" ical organization that will assure good | band music for the toOwn, not only for special events but for regular (Câ€" casions the year around for the public enjoyment. They view a good citizens‘ band as an asset to the town, and are| ready to give their time and talent, U ; they receive any measure of pulblic sup-! port. They realize that much work will have to be done for the love of muslc and for the sake of the public enâ€" joyment, but believing that band music‘ is a bencfit to any town they are willâ€" inz to go ahead and do their part‘. ‘The Advance urged the public in genâ€" eral to give the Timmins Citizens‘ Band the very heartiest support as a public benefit and as asset to the town.

"I did play in the Queen‘s Own Band." Mr Johnson said, "but I neve: had the honour of being bandmaster O that excellent bana." There was a big rain, and electrical storm in the district on June 2nd, 1919 At Timmins the power and light plants could not function during the storm on account of its severity, but otherwise Timmins got little but rain. In golden City and Pottsville, the wind damaged some cf the buildings there, several structures being moved bodily by the wind‘s velozity. One building was dragâ€" gsed fully 50 feet from its original found ation by the high wind. On May 31ist, 1919, fire destroyed the doubl> house in Moneta ocsupied by Messrs. Lamirante and Legam and their families. The fire also damaged the roof and side of the house occup.ed by Mrs. Landers and Mr. J. Landers next door, while the building on the other side of the burned dwelling was also scorched. The dead body of Mr. Lamirante‘s infant chlld was lying in the coffin in the house awaiting buria) | and it is thought that one of the canâ€" ‘(lles burning down set fire to the sheet near the coffin and the flames springâ€" ing to the ceiling the whole house was almost immediately on fire. Fire Chie Raycroft sent in call to Timmins |'I‘imm'ms for help and Chiel Borland and some men were on the scene within Lwo minutes. "They saved us from a much more. serious fire," said conâ€" stable Raycroft. A.

Standardizing Sizes in Clothing for Children Manufaziurers of children‘s clothing will soon be able to start using the new standards of sizing garments, based on actual body measurements of 150,000 young Americans, developments indiâ€" cate, Science Service reports. A publicâ€" ation to reveal to the clothing industry the tables of measurement obtained in the measuring survey is being rushed to completion at the U.S. Bureau of Home Economit¢s. Companies making dummies on which garments are modelled in the factories will be first to put the new body measâ€" urements to use. One company, ready to start, has arranged for a worker from the Bureau to aid in turning out the first child dummies to the dimensions of real American boys and girls. Desizned to do away with the unsatâ€" isfactory method of sizing child garâ€" ments by age, the new standards offer 13 regular clothing sizes and 13 "slims" and 13 "chubbies‘" for boys between four and 17 years of age. Height and hip are the two basic dimensions on which these sizes are based. For the girls 12 iregular sizes and 12 slims and 12 chubâ€" _bies will be provided. __The published tables will give manuâ€" facturers and patternmakers 39 measâ€" urements for each boy of a given size, and 36 measurements for each girl. These will be used in designing the suits, dresses, coats, underwear to be | sold simply by height and hip measâ€" t ure. The standards, adopted by representâ€" atives of the clothing industry, are entirely voluntary, but are expected t0 cain wide use. on First Mortgages Available in ‘TIMMINS SCHUMACHER SOUTH PORCUPINE Paid Back Monthly over 3 to 5 Years.

In past years the Canadian Legion, and specially the Timmins branch, has taken particular interest in the obserâ€" vance of Magna Carta Week, this year being observed June 11th to 17th. In other years the local Legion has joined in a religious observance of the event, but this year the service was not held but instead greater emphasis â€" was | placed on the secular features of the occasion. "Magna Carta"‘ known as the "Great Charter of English Liberty®" was a formal agreement â€" solemnly guaranteed by the King, extor ted from King John by the Barons and signed and sealed at Runnymede on Junue 15th, 1215. Its limited feudal obligaâ€" tions of the Barons toward the Crown, decreed that no one should be kept in without trial, that justice should not be sold,. refused or delayed, and that none should suffer fine, imprisonâ€" ment or exile but by the judgment of his peers. The Magna Carta â€" has often and rightly beenâ€"referred to as the basis of British liberty and indiâ€" vidual freedom and protection from oppression and injustice. It has been reâ€"affirmed many times since it was first signed 214 years ago. It is inâ€" teresting to note that it is also conâ€" sidered a basic feature of United States freedom and justice. It is with this n view that Magna Carta Week is also observed in the United States. Toâ€"day (Tnursday), June 15th, is the special Magna Carta Day, being the 724th anniversary of the signing of this charter of liberty. It is a fittâ€" ing occasion on which to publish "The GENERAL EVANGELINE BOOTH ARRIVES Alaska PAYâ€"ENVELOPES / pEAD FOREST EMPLOYS WHOBG NEXT TIME YOU EXTER THE woovs treat FIRE as A DEADLY DANGE Message of Magna Carta," as set forth by the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League, and as given to The Advance by Timmins Branch No. 8, Canadian Legion, BE.S.L, The Message of Magna Carta What stands if Freedom fall?

Yet it remains as true now as ever that deâ€" mocracy has certain advantages over cther forms of government. .It is still true that if things go wrong under a democratic system of government, it lies within the power of the people to set them right: whereas if things go wrong under an autocratic system of government they can only be righted by bloody revolution. It is also true that under democratic government "a man‘s a man for a‘ that"; whereas in the totalitarian state he is a mere Ccog in the machine. There is a dignity about human life if a man is free, such as there is not if he is a slaveâ€"even ithough he be merely a slave of the â€"state. There is no doubt, on the cther hand, that autocracy has some advanâ€" tages over democracy. The autocratic ruler can get done much. more quickly than a democratic government can.. He does not need to listen to interminable debate, once his mind is made up. He is apt also to s more efficient. Once he has a sufficient number of machine guns behind him e does not need to think of "political considerations"‘ in carrying out his plans; whereas the rulers of a demoâ€" cracy are likely to have their eyes fixed on the next general election. Our probiem tnen is to see how we can make democracy as efficient as autocracy, and there is only one way in which we can do this.
