Ever since the war commenced The Advance has been advocating the plan of sending the Algonquin Regiment overseas as a unit to repreâ€" sent the North and to preserve the traditions that the officers and men of the Algonquins have built around that regiment during the past twenty Of course, there will be people who will say that this is war time and everything but war expendiâ€" tures should be reduced to the minimum. While people who talk along that line may be very sinâ€" cere, a little thought will suggest that there are many other expenditures that should be don» away with before reducing those that make for beauty and comfort and happiness. There are few who are going without a new suit, or a new car, or a new radio on account of the war. Certainly{ there is no rationing of meals in this country. A1 glance around suggests the large amount ofi money spent on personal pleasure of one kind or another. The beverage rooms are doing a thriving business that does not suggest that the war has brought any need to the people in general. It is not necessary to find fault with the pleasures that help the people bear the evils of the day. But| where there is so much money very evidentlyl available for these individual personal pleasures, it does seem illogical and unreasonable to claim that money is not available for community pleasâ€" ure and benefit such as results from the creation of new beauty, an asset to all. It is to be hoped in the general interest that the Horticulturall Society continues to advance its battle for greater beauty around the homes and the town, and that' in the particular case of the highway entrance tol Timmins the Society receives the fullest coâ€" operation of all so that the town may have the advantage that added beauty gives to a community. omm e c The Timmins Horticultural Society itself has shown a very generous and earnest effort in such matters. On some previous occasions the Society has offered its services and its efforts for the improvement of the highway entering the town. The full cost of the work necessary, however, is more than the Society can undertake alone. It is hoped that other interests will coâ€"operate so that something effective may be done. ' a few dollars. In some past years the town would not even take the trouble to see that waste papers and trash did not accumulate just outside the beauty spot of lawn, shubs and flowers, thus deâ€" tracting from the general appearance. The Timmins Horticultural Society, while giving due credit to the Hollinger for its part in beautifying the approach to the town, considers very rightly that others have obligations in this regard. Special attention is called to the unsightly stretch of gravel from the pavement to the sideâ€" walk, extending all the way from the Hollinger to the Brewery. The Horticultural Society very properly suggests that something should be done about this. The making of a lawn with shrubs and trees in this present waste space is suggested. Such a plan would not only make the entrance to the town a matter of attraction and so add to impression of the town given to visitors, but, what is more important, it would prove a decided asset to the town, for beauty is always an asset, and its effect on the contentment and happiness of the people well worth reckoning. The Advance has on more than one occasion called attention to the need for coâ€"operation in this matter of striving to make the town more beautiful. Reference has been made repeatedly to the beauty spot at the St. Mary‘s hospital. It would seem that the ten-' dency is altogether too much to simply say a good| word for the good taste and artistic talent of the Sisters in keeping this spot of beauty at the very heart of the town. Much more than that is needed, however. The town istelf should coâ€"| operate by keeping the portion outside of the hospital fences in proper condition, even if it cost a delight to many of the townspeople whenever there is occasion to pass that way, â€" and often occasion is made to pass that way just to see the lawn and flowers. It is only fair to say that all the mining companies of the North have done much to improve the appearance of their communities by their attention to flowers and lawns and grounds. _ The Mcintyre Porcupine Mines, the Dome, the Buffaloâ€"Ankerite, the Paymaster and other mines have conferred a benefit by making. their places beautiful. i REPRESENTING THE NORTH An article elsewhere in this issue contributed by the Timmins Horticultural Society makes fitting reference to the service done the communâ€" ity by the Hollinger Mine in beautifying its grounds around the main office buildings and thus presenting a very attractive view to all just about to enter the town of Timmins by the highâ€" way route.

It is an adâ€" _ Hitler has insisted for years that the mistake _of the last war was the Versailles treaty. There have been a few in Britain and other nations who have agreed with him in this. The number of those believing that nonsense, however decreases day by day. The mistake of the last war was the consideration of peace before death and destrucâ€" tion had been visited upon Germany. In August of 1918 the Germans made undercover bids for peace. It was November, however, before Britain and France and the United States gave full attenâ€" tion to the peace plans. That was too soon. The German retreat was taking the form of a rout. The German people were on the verge of panic and complete collapse. The advantage should have been pushed to the limit. A large part of Germany should have been occupied. Germans should have been shown war in their own homeâ€" land. And in the final Germany should have been treated like the criminal nation it showed itself to be. Instead of that there was a silly sentimenâ€" tality and consideration for the Germans that rightly earned the Allies the contempt of the Gerâ€"| man people and sowed the seeds that grew to the flower of the present gangster war. ‘ ! | ! no uncertain terms. There would be no thoughts _of peace, the British premier said, until the _gangsters were beaten to their knees. until they were ready to relingquish their plunder and take punishment for the crimes they had committed. Lord Halifax has made reply to the German overâ€" tures for peace. He has made it plain that Britain has no thought of peace until liberty of all is assured and gangsterism | crushed completely. There is no doubt but that the replies of Premier Churchill and Lord Halifax voice the thought and spirit of the whole British people all around the: world. It must be admitted, however, that there is another British answer to the peace overtures of the gangsters that even more fully embodies the belief and heart of the whole Empire. That is the reply of the Royal Air Force these days and nights in driving back the Hun air raiders and} the wholesale destruction by British bombs off German military objectives. Thirtyâ€"seven tons of| explosives dropped on Germanâ€"held soil in a sinâ€" gle day is surely an impressive reply to the Nazi peace overtures. l Britain has given full reply to Germany‘s sugâ€" gestion for a consideration of peace. Indeed, Premier Churchill foretold the paperhanger‘s probable plea for peace a week before the leader of the gangsters put it into vague and raving words. And Premier Churchill gave the answer in a virtue of their handicaps. Time after time the l local company was up to strength, only to lose l most of its men to other regiments for overseas. long last there was a promise that the Algonâ€" quins would eventually have the wellâ€"merited reward of being allowed to go overseas as a unit. This promise should be fully implemented and facilities should be provided to make it practical. The regiment has certainly won the honourr earned the privilege. The North also has fully paid for such a recognition. The North has proâ€" vided thousands of men for the overseas forces in this war. In the last war the same was true. Indeed, the record of the North in the last war fully earned the North the privilege granted to cities and counties of being represented by desigâ€" nated units. Wot only will the Algonquins be able even at this late date to reach full strength at once, but there is every assurance that the North will keep its regiment fully supported with any additional reserves that may be needed. All that the Algonquins naed is half a chance and a few facilities. l i l | l | l | r ! an effective organization ready and able to reâ€" cruit. The Algonquin Regiment has facilitated recruiting in this area to a degree that is perhaps not fully recognized either by the authorities or the people. The efficiency of the organization has been proven from beginning to end. And this has been accomplished in the face of the most disâ€" couraging difficulties. With inadequate quarters, no armouries, no proper place for drilling or asâ€" sembly, the Algonquins have carried on, making â€" l ~years.
