Wm In this connecflon Mr Hardy lfin.â€"fl a ’“h definlte need in our town. for playground facilities for chfldren.‘ the coâ€"operative efforts of the Liohs . Club and the Council four super« viseqa playgrounds were established this: past year. These playgrounds should be develope to the extent where they are inviting to the children and ade« quately equipped to keep. them in the playgrounds and off the streets, As a boy in the early days of ‘Timmins there were no playgrounds,: but the tmmmsmaner, and we. only. had: to i blogk or two in any direction to acit. l# town limits where there was mple space to play in safety. Since #fj time the population of Timmins ‘ from five thousand to some twentyâ€"seven thousand â€" persons. ig.gll these years there has never been a definite plan of action to proâ€" vide proper playgrounds for . children. Every year children are injured or killâ€" ed while playing on the streets. Juvenâ€" ile délinguency is high in our town. The activities of the Timmins Police Athletivt Association has definitely that juvenile delinquency drops to a minimum when children have the use of supervised rinks and playâ€" grounds. However, this is not job of ‘work for Police Department. It is the responsibility of every citizen and the munfcipality as a whole." Another: matter given special attenâ€" tion is the matter of services for new sections of the town. In this connection Mr. Hardy says:â€" "Services such as water, sewers, sideâ€" walks, etc., should be extended not to one favoured group of people but to the greatest number citizens. To extend .these services and keep taxes at a normal rate requires a keen busiâ€" ness administration. Any fairâ€"minded A RESIDENT OF TIMMINS FOR THE PAST 28 YFEARS.

The matter of town planning is anâ€" other question Mr.. Hardy ~ believes Served in Last War Would Serve Again in Present One When Pat Larmer was asked the other day just what had prompted him to run as a candidate for council at this present time, he flushed a little and then answered, "Well, to tell the truth, I served through the last war, and I would like to serve the country again. I am not elegible for active service and so I thought I might serve in the municipal field." He added that good service on niunicipal boards all through the country would be a help in winning the war. This was particuâ€" larly true of this town on account of the importance of the gold industry to the success of the Allies. Subversive efforts of any kind will be detrimental to Canada, and the Empire, he pointed out, and he felt that every man in municipal office should be unquestioned in his loyalty and devotion to Canada and the Empire. Much could be done in humble way to help victory by iall working together loyally for the comâ€" tions and HMaAvIng taKeIL a KCEI IJIHLOLICSL in municipal matters during: the sevenâ€" teen years he has lived in Timmins, Mr. Larmer has shown that he had adminâ€" istrative abillity, and is ready to give the energy and talent he has in this line to the service of his home town. . mon good and to preserve and guard the liberties and freedom that was the British birthright. It is interesting. to note that Mr. Larmer is not only a veteran of the last Great War, but he was soldier before that war commenced.: He joined P e Ens auccd #d the army in Scotland in 1910 and served from then until the end of the Great War. For bravery in action he was awarded the D.C:M. in 1915.; Has Been Resident in Timmins for _ . Twentyâ€"eight Years Running as an independent candiâ€" date Mr. Albert Depatie was not inâ€" clined to make many promises or to feature special planks in his platform. He said that questions had to be dealt with as they arose and with all the facts in view. As a member of the seperate School Board of six years, three of which he served as chairman Albert Depatie Given Six Years‘ Service on Separâ€" ate School Board.. of the board, he felt he knew someâ€" thing of public service. His idea apâ€" peared to be that while he would not make the common promisesâ€" So often heard at election time, he could assure the ratepayers that ASs. resident of Timmins for 28 years, a property owner in the town since 1914, he knew the town and its needs and would work honestly and conscientiously for the general benefit. Connected with many 1 : Councillor > it% â€" Councilior McCabe and H. Anderâ€" son, endorsed by the L.R.A. as Labour candidates in the municipal election, are running as a team, as it were, and when asked for their views gave the following joint statement: AZ ‘"Timmins is a workingman‘s town The wellâ€"being and prosperity of the community depend entirely on the payâ€" cheques of the miners, the lumberâ€" workers, and other labourers. â€" It is therefore most desirable and most logical to have labour well represented on the cour.cil. Who knows and un« derstands the needs of the majority of the citizens hbetter than the workers themselves? And the workers want a reduction in the taxation which proves to be a heavy burden to small homeâ€" owners and to tenants alike. They want municipal services which are inâ€" dispensible to a growing town such 8 ours. Both can be accomplished. The following programme gives briefly the stand of the two official labour candi« dates Bert McCabe and Hugh Anderâ€" "With.the growth of Timmins, many new services are required, such as streets, sidewalks, waterworks, etc. In order to invest wisely, there must be planning, so that work done today will not have to be undone toâ€"morrow. This will save thousands of dollars to the taxpayer and will make it possible to undertake new municipal projects. ‘"Hardâ€"surfacing the main traffic arterites, keeping drains clear, olling to lay the dust, laying of sidewalks, all these are necessities, not luxuries. They can hbe done over a period of years without adding to the already tooâ€" heavy burden of taxation. Municipal Problems Need Care and Study, Says Bailey ‘"Thée necessity of a safe place to swim is obvious to every citizen. Every year accidents occur which could be prevented if the kiddies had some deâ€" cent and safe place to swim. The town now has the swimmingâ€"pool mt the river under option. Vote , labour and assure your children a safe place to swim! "This will mean a saving to the town, more civic improvements, more work, and a reduction of the taxes. Other Northern municipalitiees have purâ€" chased their own equipment and have undertaken civic projects during the past year, and the results have proven this to be correct. The rate of wages on these public works should not be one cent under 50 cents an hour. "Trade unionism means better wages, better safety and working conditions, and security for all. Without effective trade unions, there can be no real demoeracy. _ As l}bour men, McCabeé Snd : meaged to do everyâ€" thing in their power to guarantee to every worker his right to join the union of his own choice and to better his working conditions."‘ Further Reduction in Taxaâ€" tion Should be Made. _ "I am offering myself as a candidate for council, because I have been resiâ€" dent here ten years, have followed municipal matters during that time, and my experience as a merchant and miner qualify me to understand the problems of the business men and the: workers," said Les Bailey, candidate for council. "I am also a Canadian and loyal British subject, a qualificaâ€" tion which I feel should be noted speâ€" cially by every one of you when selectâ€" ing councillors for the coming term ~ He said he felt that further reduction in taxes should be made because of the war and the increased costs of living, and this could be done without curâ€" tailing any of the© important works needed. Great savings might be made by the elimination of waste, town expenses and needless expendiâ€" OTE L. B.
