There is a growing resentment against the at-l titude of some members of the government in the| matter of the purchase of war savings bonds and certificates. The suggestion is made that the people in general are not doing their part in the purchase of the war savings bonds and certificates and that if they don‘t do better they will be forced | to pay in straight forms of taxation. It would appear that the government is adopting the wrong| attitude in the matter. As a matter of fact the whole matter of war savings stamps and certifi-; ecates appears to have been mishandled by the govâ€"| ernment, while the measure of success attendmgt the plan has been due to voluntary effort and as-! sistance. That the people are ready to meet the demands caused by the war is amply proven by the | success of every genuine appeal made for funds.. The Canadian Red Cross, the Salvation Army Red Shield, the K. of C. Huts, the Legion War Services.| the Y.MC.A., all these and others have shownf beyond any question that the people will meet the needs if the case is fairly presented in the proâ€" per way Hinting at German methods will not TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association:; Class "A" Weekly Group e TWO PHONESâ€"26 and 2020 Published Every Monday and Thursday by GEO. LAKE, Owner and Publisher Bubscription Rates: Oanadaâ€"$3.00 Per Year, United Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Yea:! Since early in the war The Advance has been urging the government to play fairly with the soldiers by providing them with transportation to their homes while on long leave. The longer the war continues the more iniquitous appears the governmental attitude in this matter. The govâ€" ernment suggests that there is not money enough to pay the necessary transportation costs, but the government apparently can provide several milâ€" lions dollars for an unnecessary railway station at Montreal, just to quote one example. â€" The money frittered away in health trips to the Old Country by members of the government and their staffs would also do much to provide the whereâ€" withal to pay for the soldiers‘ transportation on their long leaves. The people are ready to proâ€" vide the necessary money for this war expense just as they are ready to give the price of all other needed war costs. Under present conditions to expect the soldiers to beg or steal rides, pay their own way on leave, or take the money from hardâ€" pressed relatives or friends is unfair and deplorâ€" able. > The Canadian Legion has taken a kindly interâ€" est in as many of the cases as were known or could be handled. Many a soldier has escaped the cost and severity of being marked AW.O.L., through the help of the Legion. Firms and inâ€" dividuals have also been kind in the matter. But all this is the work of the government authorities. In view of the fact that the government is reâ€" sponsible for the conditions arising, there seems to be no other conclusion but that the government should see to it that transportation for soldiers on leave should be provided automatically, just as uniforms, boots and caps are furnished as a matâ€" ter of course. The Advance knows of one recent incident in Timmins that shows the evil of the present sysâ€" tem. Three young menâ€"the finest of young felâ€" ’Jlows-â€"-â€"-managed to hitchâ€"hike home while on long leave. They had nothing but their soldiers‘ pay to depend upon, and from the $1.40 a day due them they had to pay for shaving soap, tooth paste, laces, incidentals of several kinds. They could not afford to pay their fares home, so they made the trip on the scanty balance paid them before their leaves. Aiter reaching here the weather turned cold and there were o chantces for free rides on the return trip. The consequence was that they overstayed their leaves. In their dilemâ€" ma they visited the police station, and the authoriâ€" ties there had no recourse but to detain them. After some days an escort was sent from their reâ€" giment and they were taken back to camp in cusâ€" tody. The information given out is to the effect that these three young men were given detention for being absent without leave, they were charged with the cost of their own fares and that of their escort, and fines were also added. It will take the three young soldiers many months to square the account thus run up against them. If this is a fair deal, then there is no justice in the world any more. If the government favours any such methods, the people certainly do not. While the soldiers do little talking themselves about the matterâ€"after the manner of good solâ€" diersâ€"it is not difficult to learn many unpleasant truths about the recent Christmas and New Year‘s leaves of soldiers from this part of the North. Some of the soldiers had to forego the privilege of coming home at all, because they felt that neither they nor their relatives or friends could stand the strain. Others managed to make the trip. In one series of cases, soldiers drew their pay at one table, only to step across to another table where tickets were on sale for the railway trip. In most cases the soldiers had fifty cents or a dollar or two after paying the railway charges. 00. 20eA tss ism XVd OL ONITIIM THV YTJO4 THIL . Wns lc lt l P PC P :A MCls sA Timmins, Ont., Thursday, Jan. 2nd. 1941 TRANSPORTATION FOR SOLDIERS Cbke Vormupine Advancee help the case at all. The response to every war] appealâ€"whether for the soldiers, for tanks, amâ€" bulances, planes, or for refugees or bombed vicâ€" timsâ€"has been generous enough to show that the Canadian people are not trying to evade their reâ€" sponsibilities. The quiet acceptance of unusual taxation is another proof of the fact that the peoâ€" ple are eager enough to meet any costs of the war. In a democracy it is inevitable, however, that the people should .seek to retain some means by which they can express their displeasure at the way things are going. For the moment there is altoâ€" gether too much stress on the duty of the people and too little on the duty of the government. If the government adopted the attitude that they wished to please the people in the conduct of the war, the people would undoubtedly be eager to show the government that the people were ready to please them by following the plans of financing favoured by the government. In the first place there has been altogether too much emphasis of the idea that it is a strictly party government that is conducting the whole war effort, and that none other have even the right to know how much shovels cost. The people have also made it very plain that certain things were specially desiredâ€" that soldiers should be given transportation on leaves for exampleâ€"but the government attitude has been that the people‘s wishes are not to be considered. There is also the government attiâ€" tude in regard to its own spending. Ordinary costs of government at Ottawa (apart from war expenditures altogether) have risen during the past year. In view of this, is it courteous to lecâ€" ture the people on voluntarily accepting lower standards of living. The government would find its way much easier if it showed the example of sacrifice. In a recent issue The Ottawa Journal referred to a number of what might be termed peaceâ€"time expenditures in this day of war. Few of these items seemed at all essential. One in particular may be mentionedâ€"the building of anâ€" other railway station at Montreal,. The cost of this structure will run into millions of dollars to add to the exorbitant cost of the national railâ€" ways. A particularly bad feature of the matter is that millions of dollars are said to be spent in the United States for steel at this time when the peoâ€" ple are being lectured about conserving exchange. Indeed, the matter does not stop at mére lecturâ€" ing. Before the way of the government is made easy in all its matters of financing, the authorities will have to adopt a different attitude. They will have to show that they are ready to drop everyâ€" thingâ€"even partyâ€"before they can honestly urge the people to give all for the war. They will need to give the people their confidence as well as exâ€" pect the wholeâ€"hearted coâ€"operation of the people. so far as the war is concerned the people of Canâ€" ada are wholeâ€"heartedly for the warâ€"ready to pay for it, ready to work for it, ready to live for it, ready to die for itâ€"but the right sort of leadâ€" ership and example is essential in a democracy. The first step to complete success in the matter is the realization that the people are all right, but the government could safely stand a little imâ€" provement. There will be very fervent hope in the hearts| * ind of all in Canadaâ€"in Britainâ€"in all the world of Here is the patriotic motto for the New Yearâ€" Apart from the death and damage visited upon London, the more recent war news is largely fayâ€" ourable to Britain and Greece. The news from Albania and Egypt continues encouraging, while Germany is feeling more and more pressure upon its long line of communications. In both France and Roumania Germany is meeting special diffiâ€" culty in establishing its soâ€"called "New Order‘". Some reports from wellâ€"informed sources in Briâ€" tain suggest that Petain has plans under way to renew French resistance. This, if true, would mean that not only the Free French, but the French in Africa still holding allegiance to Vichy, would be lined up again against the Nazis. Seriâ€" ous trouble for Germany is reported as probable in Roumania, while Norway, Belgium and Holland are rumoured as having plans to add to the presâ€" sure on the enemy. In his address last week Hitler did not at all exaggerate when he told his people that the whole world was against him. All in all, the new year seems to offer hope and encouragement to Britain. Greece and Free France. London, England, newspapers suggest that the mass attack on London by the Nazi airmen with incendiary bombs was a planned prelude to anâ€" other attempt at the invasion of Great Britain. The idea was to set all the huge city in flames and under cover of that calamity to land German troops on British soil. The attempt, like all other previous attempts, failed completely. This time the Nazis are facing a people who are dauntless and unafraid. Instead of Britain being paralyzed by the monstrous attack on London, with its wanâ€" ton destruction of historic buildings, the people of the heart of the Empire are more determined than ever to destroy the ruthless gangsters. Their response to the Hitler terrorism was but an echo of the words of their great leader:â€""We will never surrender." More than that a method has been found to circumvent the night raids, while the bombardment of military objectives in Germanâ€" held territory continues with unabated vigor. A large antiâ€"airâ€"raid army has been conscripted with the plan of dealing with every incendiary bomb as it lands. ut t ts PP AP PCP L AC * CAAA stt P PP AC :A C C PAAAE «t it l P P P P LAAA LA P L/ LONDON STILL STANDS GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTIMMINS, ONTARIO Mr. Ovila Fink has returned to town after yvisiting at his home in Cochrane.
