TIMMIXS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Assoclation; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper AsSociation; Ciass "A" Weekly Group TWO PHONESâ€"26 and 2020 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO. LAKE, Owner and Publisher SBubscription Rates: Canadaâ€"§$3.00 Per Year. United Statesâ€"$3.50 Per Year Thomas Pichard Henry. one of the talented columnists of The Toronto Telegram, writes so much that is wise and witty, that it might be argued that he is entitled to talk like Walter Winâ€" chell once in a while. But no Tom, Dick and Harry is going to misrepresent the Great North and get away with it; so long as The Advance keeps on advancing. In a recent issue of The Telegram, Thomas Richard waxes sarcastic, or something, about Port Churchill and politicians and railway buildâ€" ing in Canada. "Liberals and Tories both buried quite a number of millions of dollars up among the muskegs to give Manitoba an ocean port," he says. Manitoba newspapers may reply to that one by figuring the millions upon millions that Liberâ€" als and Tories sunk in muddy York township to make the city now sometimes called Toronto. Of course, this North Land has some special interest in those millions because so many of them came from this country‘s progress and development. But let that pass! The other sentence by Thomas Richard Henry by no means shall pass! "Then," he says with the smug assurance that has made Toronto famous, or otherwise, "having seen what a flop the Hudson Bay port was, Ontario went ahead and sunk a few millions in Northern musâ€" keg so Ontario could have an unused port up in that northern ocean just like Manitoba." As a matter of fact Ontario has no port on Hudson Bay. The closest to that sort of thing 1s Moosonee, the northern terminal of the Temisâ€" kaming and Northern Ontario Railway. Moosonee is on James Bay where the water is so shallow that only people as far away as Toronto could have dreams of making it an ocean port. In the North the most optimistic hope was that it might become a central railway shipping point from which the T. N. O. Railway might carry south the riches of the far North. The extension of the T. N. O. Railway from Cochrane to Moosoneée was not planned to give Ontario an oceéan port.:! It was designed to open up the country north of Cochrane, where it is honestly believed there are treasures of many kinds. Toronto took its full part in the final cry, "On to the Bay," but apparâ€" ently at the first reverse Toronto was ready to withdraw all its troops and forsake the land. It 1s! only a few years ago that there was talk of leaving] the line north of Cochrane to rust alone, the Toâ€" ronto belief being that the country was too cold for the mhoth. Then, it was discovered that the line must go at least as far as Island Falls where power production was an important factor to this province. On the side, it may be noted that seventyâ€"five miles north of Cochrane there is as fine farming land as anywhere in the province, and this land is being successfully developed. The next Toronto thought was that, while the railway was essential as far as Island Falls, the rest of the line might be returned to the Indians and Eskimos, if any. But against this thought there ‘came the acknowledgement of an immense deâ€" posit of lignite not far from Moosonee, so for the moment, at least, the abandonment of the railway extension is not among the items for serious conâ€" sideration, even in Toronto. There is active effort now to develop the lignite deposits. Should this plan be successful, the extension will be fully justified. In addition, there are known deposits of fire clay, china clay, gypsum, simply waiting development. There is known iron ore in the Belcher Islands that would fully warrant the building of this parâ€" ticular railway to what was termed "tidewater." Less certain, but still worthy of investigation, are reports of oil in the area north of Cochrane. This particular railway runs through no barren land, but under proper auspices it serves a country that may be Geveloped into a rich adjunct to the rest of Ontario and that will send further riches in the future to the city founded on the mud of York township. 4 The war continues in its odd mixture of good news, news not so good, news not so bad, and news that requires stronger emphasis than is given in ordinary polite dictionary language. One of the troubles of the day appears to be that, largely thanks to the radio, and particularly the foreign radio. bad news travels faster than the good. Reâ€" ference has been made elsewhere in this issue to the Nazi scheme in securing agents in other countries to work special purposes. This has been extended to neutral lands and the use of the radio has by no means been neglected. Suppression of news, distortion of news, manufacture of news, have all been used to confuse the issue. The meagre amount of official news from Britain has added to the confusion. |It is the fact that the British people would prefer to have all the news â€"â€"good or bad. There is no doubt but that the British would take the worst news from official Che Vorrupine Aduvancee Timmins, Ont., Monday, May 6th, 1940 _ NEWS OF THE WAR sources, with chin up. It would have no other effect than to spur to greater effort. Unfortunateâ€" ly, however, it appears impossible to give out this official news as desired. There are genuine reasons of state why this is impossible. It has been proven in the past that the engmy was most anxious for just such a policy. On more than one occasion the enemy sought by every means in its power to taunt the Allies into giving such official informaâ€" tion. Trust has to be given to the judgment of the authorities in such matters. Accordingly what is needed now is patience and courage and faith. Experience has shown that it is not well to credit enemy reports, or even neutral reports. It has also been shown that the Allies have given out all the information that they felt would not be advanâ€" tageous to the enemy. It would be no benefit surely to attempt to |force the Allies to adopt enemy tactics with the news and use it simply as propaganda. The better plan seems to be to use patience and wait for official reports that may be given the fullest dependence. It was one of the representatives in Europe of The New York Times who gave the first news to the world of the invasion of Norway by Germany. Like those who heard the news later, this man who was among the first to know about it, was astounded at the facility with which the Nazis were able to get a grip upon the country. He felt that there was something behind it all, and he made careful investigation. His conclusion was that there had been treachery and traitorism on the part of a number of highlyâ€"placed Norweâ€" gians. His opinion was that, while the ordinary Norwegian was loyal and hnonest and fair, there were a number of men in high places in the army, navy, air force and in the political service, who had sold out to Germany. There is little doubt but that for years past Germany has been bribing certain men in Norway by money, and still more by promises of power and influence, and that this treachery and traitorism was organized on a comâ€" paratively large scale. The Advance believes that many of the difficulties encountered by the Allies in Norway have been due to this organized treachâ€" ery. This theory explains many things otherwise difficult to understand. It was believed that the Allies had been able to land enough troops in Norâ€" way that these, with the Norwegian forces, would be able to hold the Hun in check. The success of the plan, however, necessitated full confidence and trust in all the Norwegian leaders. One or two traitors in high place in a district would not only endanger the Allies in that particular district but would constitute a serious menace to the whole plan of campaign. There is some support for this idea in the official statement made to the effect that the withdrawal of troops from all southern Norway was made to avoid a trap set by the Gerâ€" mans. It is quite evident that for many years past Germany has had its agents in many European countries, the chief work of these representatives being to secure subâ€"agents in industry, governâ€" ment and fighting forces of the countries conâ€" cerned. A similar plan was adopted previous to the last war, but on nothing like the scale of reâ€" cent years. There is reason also to believe that in recent times Germany has depended in some countries on the evil work of the Communists. In the United States there have been recent charges that Hitler has been helping finance some of Stalins agents in that country. In all of this, there is a lesson for Canadaâ€"for Timmins. Only a few aays ago Mr. W. J. Scott, .C., ontario Fire Marshal, in addressing the Canadian Manufacturers‘ Association at Toronto, referred to cases of attempted sabotage in Onâ€" tario. A recent case was that of an attempt to tamper with the cage of a mine hoist. If this attempt had been successful a score of men would have plunged to death. The Fire Marshal also told of an Ontario factory in which Communists had a strong influence OvEr the union and men. At this factory on imore than one occasion screws had been deliberately dropped into vital maâ€" chinery and electrical transformers had been tampered with. In concluding his address Mr. Sceott said:â€""We in Canada face the same underâ€" ground activities that Norway found had almost strangled her." a wel ts d O ETT Tss L. en enc ie ce ces en mm m e mm ces wame TREACHERY IN NORWAY THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Mr. Jules Morin and Mr. Ovila â€" were visitors last week in Cochrane Mrs. Spadafore has been visiting het daughter in Noranda.

Actually it conâ€" trives to suggest something at once slippery and tortuous. Visually it has the supreme merit of beginning with a Q, which (with one august exception) has long seemed to the British mind to be a crooked, uncertain and slightly disreputable letter, suggestive of the questionable, the querulous, the quaverâ€" ing of quaking quagmires, and quivering quicksands, of quibbles and quarrels, of queasiness, of quakery, qualms and quilp.

At the time it seemed absurd that a man should be so drunk while in charge of a car that he ceased to be in charge of the car by reason of his drunkenness. Logically, there should be acquittals on the charge of being drunk in a public place because the man was so drunk that he was incapable of being in a public place. On Saturday night two local gentlemen who were turned away from at least one beverage room started a series of wonderings in this matter. These ‘men were considered too drunk to be served further beer in a beverage room. Were they drunk enough to be incapable of being in charge of a car? What actually occurred gives rise to still further question. One of the men had a car but having been refused another beer in a beverage room, and still being able to move, he was afraid to take his car in charge. His comâ€" panion, who seemed a little more intoxicated, had no such qualms He said he would drive. He got in behind the wheel and attempted to start the car. The owner of the car went peacefully to sleep alongside the driver as the latter sought to get the car under way. In a few minutes the would â€" be driver was also "dead to the world" and snoring loudly. Thus they were found by a friend, who had the two of them taken home in a taxi, while he saw that the car was also moved to its home garage. And this third man wasn‘t completely sober either. Now, if the police had come upon this case at any of its several stages, what would have been the appeal court judge‘s verdict?
