The Unemployment Insurance Act goes into active effective on July 1st of this year and it is not altogether surprising that a number of minor d@ifficulities have been encountered in getting it into smooth working order. One of these has deâ€" veloped from an announcement to the effect that an executive office under the provisions of the act would be established at North Bay to look after the unemployment situation for the whole North. This roused Kirkland Lake at once to active effort ‘» have the office for the North established at the newspapers that are scorning the suggesâ€" of The Amherstburg Echo are allowing their ices in taste to cheat their culinary tastes Fenuine treat. Muskrat is of the rat family, argue, and who would eat rat! Well, the iese eat rat rather than eat crow on moreâ€"than 2 ocoasion. At the‘siege of Paris in 1871 it is i that horsemeat was not only a popular but a referred meat. What appears to one nation or une section of a people as improper foodâ€"against all tasteâ€"seems to another group as most desirâ€" a@abie. ‘There is a story of a man visiting at a farm the carrots because he said that was the food of donkeys, refusing the cabbage beâ€" cause that was the food for cattle, passing up the lamb because that was the food of wild beasts. Nothing suited him, but the eggs. "And that," said the small boy of the house, "is the food of snakes." And mentioning snakes, there are peoâ€" ple who look upon some varieties of reptiles as most appetizing delicacies. It is all a matter of taste, as the old prospector used to say. In the centres of Southern Ontario this matter of one type of taste may be overdone. In catering to a fanciful taste heaven alone knows what imâ€" positions may be placed upon the actual sense of taste _ The fact is that not only are countless thousands unaware of what is really good to eat, but half the time they don‘t know what they are eating â€" especially if it is canned. Wasn‘t it Mark Twain who said that he always liked hash, because then he knew what he was eating? He was eating hash. _ _It may be that the war may take away or reâ€" duce the supply of some foods that have partiâ€" cular appeal to the popular taste In advocating the use of little known delicacies for the table, The Amherstburg Echo may be doing a patriotic service, as well as a personal favour to the popuâ€" lace. In any event in naming the muskrat as a table delicacy, when properly prepared and cookâ€" ed, The Amherstburg Echo will have the support of hundreds in this North who have tried this form of food and found it good, ind« «th P P P PCA LCCAAA BP P e UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE mt lA â€"AP LC CCA IP DP BP AO Cl ‘here are some newspapers in Ontario inclined o scoff at The Amherstburg Echo because that newspaper has been suggesting that muskrat makes a delightful table delicacy. An oldâ€"time prospector of the North, who, like most prospecâ€" tors failed to get the full reward of his labours and his enterprise in this world, but who now is eating ambrosia if he has received his just merits in the other world, told The Advance than there were literally scores of wild animals that made surprisingly good eating if a man was hungry enough, and a good enough cook. He mentioned bear meat, porcupine, moose and many others. He included of course, wild fowl, but he gave a very special place for muskrat. "There," he said, is‘ a dish fit for a king, or even for one of the King‘s men." He had a special recipe for the cooking of muskrat and guaranteed that if the recipe were followed carefully, the result would be a delicacy that would make the modern food fayvâ€" qurites appear tame indeed. This old prospector was a philosopher, as are most prospectors. While he was chiefly concernâ€" ed with food as a means of living, he recognized the good sense in having as much pleasure as might be practical along with the drab business of eating to live. He said that he had eaten caviar in New York and muskrat in Porcupine, and he remembered the meal in Porcupine with the greater relish. There were three things always to be considered in eating, he claimed. First, there had to be a healthy appetite. That he considered the prime necessity. Granted that boon, he firmly believed that any form of food would taste well, if properly cooked. That brought him to the second essenfialâ€"â€"right cook â€" ing. He maintained that an honest prospector could make more out of a good bear steak or a newlyâ€"plunked wild goose, than a city chef could with spring lamb and western turkey. The third factor in the prospector‘s philosophy about food was one that he admitted was beyond his control. "Eating," he used to remark, "is largely a matter of taste. This is particularly true in regard to the city worker and the man who never knows what it is to be genuinely hungry in a wholesome ay.” imins, Ont., Monday, June 2nd, 1941 se tm mt t t P P P P P P â€"AL PP AP C â€"AP P C AP lAAA PAAA s subscription Rates. rer Year United Per Year «w41 Every Monday and Thursday by arruptne Advaner "IMMINS,.

Owner and Publisher It would appear as if the campaign for the Vicâ€" tory Loan in this part of the North would itself result in decisive victory. The patriotic parade and drumhead service held here yesterday under the sponsorship of the Canadian Legion as a form~ al introduction to the Victory Loan campaign brought together at least ten thousand people to the Hollinger Park. This is such a material proâ€" portion of the population as to give striking idea of the patriotic impulses of the people and the deep interest taken in the success of the Victory Loan. Every day during the next twenty days there is something out of the ordinary to emphasâ€" ize the need for victory for the Victory Loan. Probably the most comprehensive case made out for the absolute necessity for success of the Vicâ€" tory Loan was given recently in an address by Mr. Ferland, publicity director for the District \Of Cochrane for the Victory Loan. He showed that investment in Victory Loan bonds was good busiâ€" ness as well as good patriotism ; it was insurance for the future for the people as well as protection and help for the nation for the present. Canada, he pointed out, has everything at stake from life to liberty, from property to personal freedom. Canada, to win, must have planes, tractors, bombâ€" ers, trained airmen, airports, tanks, supplies, ships, sailors, soldiers, antiâ€"aircraft guns, hosâ€" pitals, physicians, surgeons, nurses, ambulances and a score of other imperative needs. The money for these things must be found. Canada has the money. There is enough lying at interest, and in soame cases without interest, to more than take up the loan. Mr. Ferland made it plain that Canada It is not possible to emphasize too strongly the need for victory for the Victory Loan. Mr. Brooks, organizer for this district, in one of his recent atâ€" dresses made the considered statement that vicâ€" tory for the Victory Loan campaign was more imâ€" portant and vital than the outcome of any of the skirmishes or side battles in the various theatres of war. It would be the most displeasing evidence to the Huns that Canada was taking its full place in the battle line. Lake Shore town. It was pointed out that Kirkâ€" land Lake was much more suitable and convenient for the purpose then North Bay. Indeed, the Reeve of Teck township, Kirkland Lake, was quotâ€" ed as suggesting that it was absurd to attempt to handle the unemployment insurance business for the North from an outside point like North Bay. This brought protest from North Bay against beâ€" ing classed as outside the North, though for inâ€" dustrial and business purposes even North Bay should admit that it is not a central part of the North. There was such general agreement with Kirkland Lake‘s idea that all the business of the Unemployment Insurance Act could not be handlâ€" ed from North Bay, that the Teck township counâ€" cil may have been surprised that Timmins did not give immedate and complete endorsation of the Kirkland Lake resolution that the Unemployment Insurance Act office for the North should be locatâ€" ed at Kirkland Lake, instead of North Bay. The fact seems to be, however. that there should be an office at North Bay, another at Kirkland Lake, and another at Timmins. According to a recent address by the Minister of Labour and also by the literature issued in regard to the Unemployment Insurance Act the employment offices formerly conducted by the provinces and the Dominion are to be taken over as part of the activities of the Unemployment Insurance Act. It is pointed out that the branch that looks after unemployment insurance is the ideal one to keep employers in touch with needed help and employees in touch with the type of work desired. No one will criticâ€" ize this idea adversely, but the minute it is admitâ€" ed, it will be seen that a central office at North Bay or at Kirkland Lake will be totally inadequate and worse, for the purpose implied. It has been found necessary to maintain a number of emâ€" ployment offices at strategic points in these days before unemployment insurance. It will surely require as many, if not more, cifices to look after unemployment insurance added to the mere matâ€" ter of employment. Timmins for years has been one of the busiest employment offices in Ontario. Under the new act it should be still more needed. There is no doubt, whatever, but that an oflice should be maintained at this centre if the Unemâ€" ployment Insurance Act is to function properly. To Timmins it appears ridiculous to establish an office for the North at North Bay, particularly if the office is to deal with employment as well as unemployment insurance. To give the office to Kirkland Lake would be a lesser evil, but only to a degree. It does appear that it s essential to the success of the new act that there be an office at Timmins, as well as at Kirkland Lake. Indeed, it would seem that Cochrane or Kapuskasing, or both, might also advance just claims in this reâ€" gard. It should be remembered that this North is m country of immense distances.> Ift is only necessary to remember that the area of Northern Ontario ts four times that of all the rest of Onâ€" tario to realize the futility of attempting to run any local business from one central point. To be logical so far as distances are coficerned, there should be four branches in the North to every one in the South, if the people are to be treated with consideration and fairness. While the North would not press this point, it does seem evident that several branch offices for the Unemployment Insurance Act will be essential in the North, unâ€" less the Act is to beâ€"a poor farce so far as this country and its workers are concerned. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTIMMINS, ONTARIO could give victory to the Victory Loan, and he was confident that Canada would rise to the occasion. The enthusiasm and heart interest shown by ail so far appaars to be proof of the coming victory for the Victory Loan. Everyone can do something to help it along, even if it is no more than giving the canvassers a pleasant reception and a careful hearing and subscribing as much as the personal circumstances will permit. The three mottoes over the Timmins town hall tell the story in slogâ€" ans:â€"Invest in Freedom! Help Finish the Job! Buy Victory Bonds! Still stands the motto of the King:â€" "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."
