*Those who may be inclined to laugh at the possibility of attack from the far north should consider a few facts. One of these is that the same form of unbelief contributed to the destrucâ€" tston of several European nations in the past few months. Another is the truth that the German knowledge of the Hudson‘s Bay district is much more complete than that of the average Canaâ€" dian. ~It is doubtful, indeed, if the Canadian authorities are in possession of as detailed maps, Ǥ extensive photographs, and as comprehensive dgta on the whole area as is in the possession of the Nazi gangsters. "A little attention to better control of interned persons in Canada might not be out of place. It might be well to establish new camps at places distant from the present locations. But whatever The publicity given the escapes, however, threatens one serious danger. Some of the newsâ€" papers that have taken up the question are urging that internment camps be opened in "the wilds of Northern Ontario‘", where escape would mean no more than death in the bush from starvation and exposure. One or two of these newspapers favour the establishment of internment camps in mwhat they term the Hudson Bay area. They érgue that if the internment camps were built in isolated areas far from highways or railways, the safety of the prisoners would be automatically assured;>~ Apart from the fact that the very isolaâ€" tion and difficulty of access of such camps would make them very burdensome and inconvenient to establish and maintain, there is a more serious reason why no camps should be established in the Hudson Bay area. To suggest that there is dangâ€" er of an invasion of Canada from Hudson Bay may, perhaps, rouse the scorn of some complacâ€" ent people. The same sort of smug folk scorned what they termed "ridiculous" and "absurd" and. "‘impossible” in Norway, Belgium, Holland and other places. They paid a bitter price for their trustfulness and failure to realize that this is a war where the unexpected and the apparently impossible are not only attempted, but securei most of their success from the fact that persist in weighing the plans of gangsters and maniacs by the rules of law and reason. It is common knowledge that an invasion of Canada} is among the proposed schemes of the Nazis. Thei Yhole Hudson Bay country has been carefully! mapped and photographed by German agents.! Airplane landing places are available for themi there. There are radio stations to be taken over} at will. There is an ideal submarine base possible | of use in at least one of the inlets of Hudson‘s Bay. It is not known just how much preparation has tieexl made in the far north in the interests of a Nazi invasion from that quarter. Enough is known,. however, to make the Nazi story of an 1fivasion from that quarter for less unreasonable than it might appear at first sight. There are fg';cts not generally known that doom any such attempt to serious disaster for the Nazis, but in the meantime considerable injury might be done| to Canada. Flights from Hudson Bay air fields to| the gold imining country of the North Land are| too practical to be dismissed with scorn. Such. flights, in peace time, have been accomplishedl with ease, and there are Nazi pilots with all the necessary maps and knowledge and experience * make such tripsâ€"even with bombsâ€"a far from| d)mcult performance. It would be the height folly to assist the work of the Hun by establishing internment camps in isolated places in the far north where supplies could be raided, prisoners freed to add to the invading forces, and general assistance given to the mad project. The last| place in the country that internment camps|â€" should be established is the Hudson‘s Bay area. The fact that two prisoners have been able to escape from internment camps in Ontario has roused excitement and discussion out of all proâ€" portion to the importance of the matter. With thousands detained in internment camps hurriedâ€" ly established, it is no cause for alarm that two should make their escape. Hundreds of prisonâ€" ers escaped from Germany during the last war. Numbers escaped from Canadian and other Britâ€" ish internment camps. No doubt the same conâ€" dition applies today. It is true thafg even one escape is too many. In view of the fact of Hitler‘s Fifth Column activity, it is particularly desirable that no escapes be permitted. At the same time it does appear as if the importance of: the two escapes was being unduly magnified. If it has the effect of inducing greater carefulness! and watchfulness at the internment camps, thei hulabaloo will not be without its uses. Certainly there was rank carelessness or worse when prisonâ€" ers were able to move tons of earth in constructâ€" ing a tunnel for escape, and all this activity| ascaped the attention of the hundreds of men éupposed to be on guard. Timmins, Ont., Monday, August 26th, 1940 TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Quebee Newspaper Association: Class "A" Weekly Group TWO PHONESâ€"â€"26 and 2020 Published Every Monday and Thursday by GEO. LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: Canadaâ€"$3.00 Per Year, United Per Year IWOOO‘ t P L P A L P P â€" L C L PA L L C P LC LA PAGE POUHR Che Yorrupine Aduance It may be that the censor is the most unpopular man in Canada so far as newspaper people are concerned, but one pronouncement by one of the chief censors, Mr. W. Eggleston, should be acceptâ€" ed very gladly and wholeheartedly. Speaking to a gathering of newspapermen and others at Torâ€" onto last week, Mr. Eggleston said that the chief service the newspapers in Canada could give to the people at this time was the constant upholdâ€" ing of the highest morale of all. It must be adâ€" mitted that the great majority of newspapers in Canada have been doing this very thing from the commencement of the war. This is partigularly true of the leading weekly and semiâ€"weekly newsâ€" papers. These have recognized that one of the enemy‘s most effective weapons has been the use of the Fifth Column to spread defeatism and deâ€" pression and fear. There have been many cryâ€" ing out:â€"*"Face the facts!" and then holding up only the sad facts that suggest the superiority of the enemy or the success of the gangSters, The newspapers, as a class, have given the facts whatâ€" ever they may be, but have added the backâ€" ground necessary to place them in their right proâ€" portions. The facts that in resources, wealth, inen. power and courage, the British Commonâ€" a waiter, the editor of The Bowmanville Statesâ€" man made a mistake. Or else, like the story of the worried business man, it was a strange coinâ€" cidence. In the last issue of The Financial Post that gentle journal returns to the subject, suggesting that the veracity of the editor of The Bowmanville Statesman can scarcely be called in question. The Advance does not question the Bowmanville ediâ€" tor‘s veracity. All that is suggested is that he made a bad mistake in his story. Support for the idea of the Bowmanville editor making a mistake in the waiter case is given by another mistake he made in another recent issue. Some weeks ago The Advance told of a local gentleman who under ‘pressure of business and war worry found his health impaired. His doctor advised a holiday with absolute rest and quiet. The Advance conâ€" cluded the story this way:â€""Now the local man is making wonderful progress to recovery now. . . yet he has never left the town. He has simply shut off the radio, and he is finding absolute sur-; crease from business, spending most of his time around the stock exchanges where everything is quiet these days, and visiting business places that do not advertise in The Advance." In last week‘s Bowmanville Statesman exactly the same story (in the same words) is told of a Bowmanville citizen but the story concludes by saying that he has found absolute quiet and rest by “visit;ingl places of business that advertise in The Statesâ€" man." Surely, that‘s a mistake. The upâ€"toâ€"date and thriving business places that advertise in The Statesman would surely be too lively for a man who wanted absolute rest and quiet. ' Accordingly, it is not too much to conclude that in thinking he mistook Hon. Angus Macdonald for _ _ The scornful ones who bubble with questions like:â€""How on earth could the enemy get to the Hudson Bay area?" "How could airplanes reach the far north from Germany?" "How could Gerâ€" man ships or submarines hope to make their way to Hudson‘s Bay?" should note a few facts very recently disclosed. Over the radio Sunday night it was stated that some nights ago the city of i New York was blackened out because a Nazi subâ€" | marine was know to be nearby, and because there was danger from the air as well as from the water. It is known that enemy submarines have been sighted more than once off the coast of Cana(a since the war began. There is a current belief that more than one enemy craft has met its doom at the hands of the effective and alert Canadian navy. When the war is won and the full story may be told, Canadians will have full reason for pride in the authentic record of the wonderful work of the Canadian Navy in averting dangers that the average man would scorn to even believe existed today, but there will not be the same reaâ€" son for anyone to be proud of the superior perâ€" sons who ridicule the idea of threats from’ the enemy because these threats do not appear reaâ€" sonable to those who do not know all the facts. Recently The Financial Post told of a story in which it was suggested that the editor of The Bowmanville Statesman on one occasion mistook Hon. Angus Macdonald, then premier of Nova Scotia, and now head of Canada‘s naval defence, for the head waiter in a Halifax hotel. The Adâ€" vance took objection to the story, pointing out that while it might be possible for an editor to mistake a head waiter for a Cabinet minister, it was not believable that Hon. Angus Macdonald should be mistaken for any head waiter no matâ€" ter how distinguished, In this The Advance was supported by every single son of Nova Scotia in this mining countryâ€"and there are thousands of tham. It was the consensus of opinion that none of the very numerous Macdonald boys in Nova Scotia are waiters. As one gallant Nova Scotian phrased it, "Waiting is an honourable calling, but Hon. Angus Macdonald doesn‘t waitâ€"he keeps on doing things." o may be done in this line, no consideration whatâ€" ever should be given to the idea of transporting prisoners:of war where they may be helpful to any of the mad schemes of the gangster nations. KEEP THE CHIN UP! THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, oONTARIO "Put into your task, whatever it may be, all the courage and purpose of which you are capable. Keep your hearts proud and your resolve unshakâ€" en. Let us go forward to that task as one man, a smile on our lips, and our heads held high, and with God‘s help we shall not fail." Mention has been made before in these columns of The Igamington Post and News carrying in challenging type on top of the title of the paper:â€" "Keep your chin up! There‘ll Always be an Engâ€" land!" As for The Advance it has carried in every issue, and will continue to carry in succeedâ€" ing issues, the inspiring words of His Majesty the King: â€" The press censor is right in emphasizing the fact that the present war is being fought more distinctly on the matter of the morale of peoples than any other war in the history of the world. ‘The nation that maintains the highest morale will be the victor. That is Great Britain. In the midst of the most vicious bombing from the air, the people of Britain can write to relatives on this continent, as noted in The Advance last week:â€" "Things are not as bad as you think over here. . . If you just saw the morale of the people you would be proud of them . . . Jerry is up against it and he is going to get whacked . . . You all think we are having a terrible time, but if you were in Motherwell toâ€"night you would hardly think there was a war on, people going about as usual." There should be no exaggeration here of the damage done by the Huns overseas when the people in the homeland are taking it all in their stride. Every piece of ill news should stir to greater effort and more cheerful determination. That is the spirit. wealth of Nations can face the whole world of gangster nations unafraid has also been emâ€" phasized. There has been no mere "whistling to keep up courage," but a presentation of all the facts to show that victory must come, will come, despite occasional reverses.

The Director of Public Information sends out large quantities of very helpful material for the newspapers. Most of the articles would not be available to the average newspaper in any other way. Some of the articles referred to have been featured in The Advince and in other newsâ€" papers. It is true that more material is sent then could possibly be used, but this allows room for choice and selection, and many of the articles not used are kept for reference. The service is a valuable one to the people, and editors would apâ€" pear to do well to use what they are able and be grateful for the excellent service, In the Madawaska news in The Pembroke Obâ€" server last week appeared the following item:â€" "In the local column of a recent issue of The Standardâ€"Observer there was an item stating ithat Misses (names deleted out of courtesy to the libel law) had motored to Pembroke. We wish to correct this item as these young ladies were not in Pembroke. The news item was reâ€" ;ceived in this office through the mail and was published in good faith. The editor regrets any inconvenience that may have been caused by its publication." Apparently, it is not only in Timmins that it is inadvisable to accuse people of visiting in Pembroke. fact that news of the escaped prisoners from inâ€" ternment camps was kept from the public for several hours. In this case, as in many others, the censors are unjustly blamed. ‘This news was kept from the censors themselves. It was hours, ndeed, before the police were informed of the escapes.
