TUnited 8 TTMMINXS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26 PHONES â€"â€"â€"â€" RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO,. LAKE, Owner and Publisher Timmins, Ontario, Monday, July 24th, 1939 To say that the National Festival held in the, Mcintyre Community hall on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights was a decided success in every way is to put the matter too mildly. As a question of fact it is not difficult to understand that the Festival was one of the most valuable eventsâ€"ever held in the Porcupine. The fact that | it was an excellent entertainment was only a secondaty consideration. It is true that all atâ€" tending the festival were delighted with the exâ€" cellent programmes provided. There was interâ€" est, cgl’our, charm about it all. "I enjoyed every | minute of it," was a common comment heard| after the programme each evening. As a matter of interest and enjoyment, it was quite well worth while. But the greatest value of the occasion rested in the new light it gave to many New Canâ€" adians and to many older citizens of this country. One time a New Canadian told The Advanceâ€" "Sometimes I feel like a foreigner in this country, though I love it as my own." Any who felt that way would get a new viewpoint from the Festival. Every nationality was given the friendliest greetâ€" ing and showered with applause for the efforts they made to add to the interest of the event. New Canadians may learn fram the Festival that their fellow citizens are friendly and interested in them. That is something of much value. The attitude of the audiences at the Festival may well impress New Canadians with the idea that there is friendship and appreciation and understanding and goodwill for them. On the other hand, the older grades of citizenâ€" ship in this country also learned much from this Festival. Many of them were amazed at the talâ€" ent displayed by the New Canadians and the inâ€" ~terest roused by their charming costumes, their dances, music, and other gifts. Of course, to the Canadians and other Britishers who have been observing the New Canadians through the years none of these things were a surprise. They knew the most of the New Canadians for kindly, friendâ€" ly, hospitable people anxious to understand and to become an integral part of good citizenship in this country. Events by individual groups of New Canadians have roused the greatest interest here in the years gone.by. Those who have had the pleasure of attending such events have found each group of these New Canadians with unusual talents and gifts, and with history and traditions in music, dancing and the other arts. The hosâ€" pitality and kindness of the New Canadians have also been enjoyed and appreciated. The National Festival, however, emphasizd this on a grand scale ~â€"a genuine service to the community. Many have been impressed with the enthusiasin with which the various nationalities entered into the Festival. Nothing was too much trouble, noâ€" thing too costly for them. It must be admitted that none of them were inspired by thought of winning the prizes. That was not the attitude. The truth is that the whole idea of each and every group was to giveâ€"give Of their bestâ€"help the programmeâ€"please the If there were any rivalry, it was of a noble typeâ€"the sort that touched the hearts of all who noted it. | VALUE OF NATIONAL FESTIV AL «alt l P P w l e P T n e in ie Another point worth more than passing thought is the amicable way in which the committeeâ€" composed of the representatives of many nation â€" alitiesâ€"worked together to make the occasion the success it was. There was plain lesson there of how easy it is for Canadiansâ€"new and old to work together, if they only get together. As a matter of fact.any problem there may be in reâ€" gard to New Canadians will be solved as soon as there is mutual understanding. When the Canâ€" adians and other British realize what good fellows the New Canadians are, and the New Canadians are shown that they are welcomed and appreciatâ€" ed; there will be a united nation that can stand against the world. One of the chief values of the National Festival here last week was that it gave a friendly meeting ground for all. There is something particularly appropriate about this National Festival in a British country, because the British EBmpire is a very conglomerate of races and nationalities. Events like the Naâ€" tional Festival emphasize how much they have in common â€" dGdelight in graceful dancing, love of music, pleasure in beauty in dress and carriage. They also shouid suggest the other less apparent things that are held in commonâ€"love of home and family, love of wholesome pleasure, love of freedom, love of independence, love of the right to be men and women in their own right. Oho Horrupine Aduance It is only a short time ago that the North heard the pleasing news that the Ontario Government had given the T. N. O. Railway Commission the agreeable task of developing the lignite deposits north of Cochrane. Further pleasing news came PAE POUR DEVELOPING THE NORTH United Statesâ€"$3 50 Per Yo Ar last weekâ€"end when it was announced that a syndicate has been formed to exploit the known gypsum deposits north of Cochrane, under proper government auspices and supervision. This means much not only to the North Land, but also to all Ontario, all Canada. It will mean new emâ€" ployment, new industries, new wealth, new prosâ€" perity. The Ontario Government is doing so well that it does not seem fair to even approach criticism in the matter. But the Government will be missing a big chance if it does not take advantage of the opportunity offered at the moment for the develâ€" opment of a china clay industry in the North. For weeks The Advance has been calling attention to this special opportunity. To repeat the story: North of Cochrane there are said to be large deâ€" posits of a superior type of china clayâ€"aA type equalled only by that used by Britain and Czechoâ€" slovakia in making fine chinaware. It is wortn noting that American and other chinaware feaâ€" tures the coloured kind. It is true that beauty has been achieved in many of the specimens of coloured ware. It is well to remember, however, that lowâ€"grade china clay has been used, and the colouring has been necessary on this account. Coloured ware has been popularized so far as posâ€" sible, because of the necessities of the case for all other nations but Britain and Czechoslovakia. Recent robbery by the Nazis has dispossessed Czecholovakia of its preâ€"eminence in the pottery line.. The Germans are not able to carry on with the same success as the Czechoslovakians theyi robbed. Also there are scores of Czechoslovakian. experts who have been driven out of their own country by the Nazi tactics. Why not bring some of these experts to Canada to develop the china clay deposits of the North. Apparently there are no experts here capable of doing this. Any Czechoslovakian experts brought here would have double reason for. forcing success. The chance given them to reâ€"establish their industry in a new land would be a special inspiration to them. In any event the experiment need not be a costly one. It would cost comparatively little to bring the Czechoslovakian experts here and give them their chance and the chance for the North in the development of the china clay industry here. A meteor is reported to have fallen recently in Kent County, the home county of the chairman of the Ontario Liquor Control Board. Mr. Gordon should have a look at that meteor and if it fell Sunnyside up he should take it as a warning. iGRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER | mt M â€"AD L L SA PP ulA PA P P P e Reports in the daily newspapers are to the effect that the attendance at the New York World‘s Fair is much below what was expected. If all the people from Timmins and district who say they intend to attend the World‘s Fair really follow out this plan, the attendance in August ought to cheer the hearts of the Fair manageâ€" ment. It would pay the town of Timmins to see if some arrangement can not be made with the Governâ€" ment whereby the roads to the mines in the disâ€" trict may be kept open in the winter without proâ€" hibitive cost. There are so many men living in Timmins and working at mines in the district that it would appear to be the imperative duty of the town to see that these citizens are not handiâ€" capped in their employment. In addition the business men of the town, who are paying more than their fair share of taxation, should not be forgotten. Keeping open of the roads is of vital importance to practically all in town. Mr. D. J. Pomerleau, Agricultural Representaâ€" tive for North Cochrane district, was in Timmins on Saturday, coming here with five farmers from the Cochrane area. These five farmersâ€"Messrs Nap Cliff, W. Brunet, J. Bergeron, F. Platuz and Louis Labelleâ€"brought here the kind of produce that would be wlecomed by the housewives of the community, but they found the plan was handiâ€" capped by certain circumstances. It is doubtful if they will continue to attend the market here uniess there are some changes. The town of Cochrane has a weekly market that is a decided success both from the standpoint of the town and of the farmers. The demand for farm produce at Cochrane, however, is not great enough to proâ€" vide opportunity for all the farmers in the area around the town. It is for this reason that the five farmers referred to visited Timmins on Satâ€" urday. They would come every Saturday if cirâ€" cumstances warranted it, and would bring others with them. Kirkland Lake market is attended by groups of farmers from a wide district. Timmins, perhaps, has more farmers in the immediate vicinity of the town than is the case with Kirkâ€" land Lake, but if all conditions were propitious there would be need for many farmers from a distance to supply the big market in this town. vicinity of the town than is the case with Kirkâ€" round. He felt that the discontinuance of the land Lake, but if all conditions were propitious market for part of the year was a serious handiâ€" there would be need for many farmers from a| cap to its continuity. He thought that the marâ€" distance to supply the big market in this town. kct should be a regular unbroken fixture for the When Mr. Pomerleau was asked what the chief fullest success. troubles were in regard to the Timmins market,' It only cost the town of Cochrane $1,000 to crcc* he replied that in his opinion there were two a proper building for a yearâ€"round market, prime necessities.
