Iii" «‘35 1‘ it With the new restrictions in regard to the sale I of gasoline in loree less than a week, it may be . too early to suggest either that the voluntary " 1 plan may prove successful or that it will be neces- ,sary to institute some definite tom of rationing o! gasoline. Rationing of gasoline would no doubt 'f' be the fairer method, if the regulations were en- forced without fear or favour or political partisan- . ship, but it might as well be admitted first as last .2: that no form of conscription is likely to be just and equitable so long as there is a strictly partisan government in power. No matter how high the ideals or some or the leaders may be the machine element of the part of a party will never allow the government to forget that it is a strictly party affair and so must not, can not, forget its friends. V Those who watched the situation on Sunday, "the first day on which the new regulations were in force, were not able to notice any particular decrease in traffic. Indeed, many peopleâ€"per- ' haps expecting a reduction; in motor.traflic on the first gasoline- -less Sunday â€" thought there was even more than the usual running up and down .j.cars One man watching the traffic with the of estimating whether it was greater or less fian on previous Sundays was surprised at the slumber of trucks in use on the day. He was un- (3161‘ the impression that trucks were not supposed -0 ‘2 finer-"nu h t " W» travel the roads) on Sundays, and. he considered ' it their number on Sunday seemed to emphasize the idea that it is a difilcult matter to regulate motor traffic, either by appealing to the motorist, or by having a: law. The majority of. good fellows who. run 'mptor vehicles observe the spirit of the law as Well as the letter, and in reality need much; less law than there is. They are always ready to go further than the law to protect and conven- ience the people, and to these motoristsâ€"who are well in the majorityâ€"the letter of the law is some- ”timesan injustice. ' One of the troubles with affairs like this gas- oline' restriction is that the good fellow may bel . .2 _ 1 TI; desire to observe the spirit of the- law At the least he may encounter difficulties and; doubts as to his position. ”For example, motorists have been advised to dispense with the use of as many cars as possible. The suggestion} was that if two or three people were using separ-L ate cars daily between the same points, the-group could continue to use the one car and so conserveT gasmine. Of course, few men are in position at the present time to supply the gasoline regularly; to run neighbours to and from work, yet there are‘ sections of the law that make it an offence to' accept money directly or indirectly for carrying:. passengers where there is no license held for that! privilege. Attorney- -General Conant this week! made it- plain that the provincial police were not to be used for the penalizing of those who sought to meet the urgent request of the Dominion gov- ernment for. the reduction of the consumption of gasoline. In effect, the Attorney-General said that in cases where several combined to travel in the one car to save gatoline, it would not be held against them as a breach, of the act if they shared between them the cost of the gasoline. He added that the bus companies were showing a fine patri- otic spirit in the matter and were not disposed tel press any legal rights they might possess in this direction. In Timmins, Sudbury and Kirkland Lake, this matter of private cars carrying pas- sengers for pay has been an issue on one or two occasions. In ordinary times, the bus companies have some rights in the matter. They pay high license ices for the privilege 01 carrying passeng- ers. It is not fair, of course, that others should enjoy a regular business in the same line without paying the required.license fees. In the mining. areas, it has always been suspected that there are my cases where at least the cost of the 8380111181 is shared by those who make a practice of riding in the one car. Where there is nothing more than this the bus companies have made no effort to call for the strict letter of their, rights. Where. the case becomes a matter of a regular competi-a tive business, it is a diflerent question. There has to be ran play on both sides. There should be fair playonbothsidesin the matteroi thisplanior conserving mane It would seem that so long as it is a matter of the actual savifig or gasoline, the has concerns will have; to view the matter in cars must also be concerned chiefly with the sad- in: or gasolinefirather than the making of the. odd dollar.

A_.loca_l. gentleman writes .to ask which isthe‘ proper name to call-a man from Timmins â€" a, “Timmi-nsite” or a “Timminsonian?” It seernsggo‘1 be an odd time to worry about such a matter, b111,, perhaps, worry over, such, things relieves anxiety, in regard; to more important matters. If there is. room for question in regard‘to folks from Timmins‘ what about men from some other places in the: North. What would you call a man from Coch- rane? A Coe-hraner? Or a fellow from Kapus; kasing? Or one from Iroquois Falls? What? about a resident of Swastika? And you’ll be little better of! phonetically by letting'Hitler have the? name and calling the place Winston. Then,1 there’s 9orquis Junction! Try. a short name for a man from that town! And don’t bring up the case of Haileybury. The answer to that one would be that to use the word “Haileyburian” would be to call to mind the name of the noted newspaper, rather than a designation of a resident of the famous town. It is true that a man from Cobalt might be teamed a Cobalter. But he never was in the old days. The truth is that few town names lend themselves to easy and agreeable names for their citizens. But does it matter. Toronto once [attempted to have its citizens classed as “Toron- ;tonians” but the closest the outside world came to that was “Hog-Towners.” Just what use a euphonious name for a cit/men would be may be Cleft to the fancy. For instance, if you wanted to “attract the attention of a man from Timmins on a Toronto street, it would be no use flailing “Tim- ;minsite” or “Timminsonian”. He would be round W! will get little but ion ”id grief from its invasion of Russia. . the block before you finished. If he didn’t stop at a yell of “Timmins,” it would be as well for you to buy your own beer. If he were an old-timer “Corrugated!” would stop him in his tracks. If he wasn’t an old-timer he might not be interest- ed. After the war is over, it might be an idea to stage a contest for the best name. In the mean- time, even Emily Post will not think it improper to refer to a resident of Timmins as a “gentleman of Timmins,” “a man from Timmins,” or “a geyser from Timmins.” It won’t take too much time, and it won’t sound any worse than you wish it, and that should be the idea. Recent headlines in the newspapers said:â€" “Iimted States Freezes Japanese Assets.” “Bri- tain Freezes Japanese Assets.” “Canada Freezes Japanese Assets.” “Japan Freezes British Assets.” All a! which is queer talk for this kind of weather. 01 course, electrical refrigeration is the order 01 the day. vvvvvvv'vww V'WVvvvvvv'vvvâ€"vvvvv'v' GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER WORRYIN G ABOUT NAMES mmmmmsommo \ _ .,A_,, __._.__. mfithetlmolprohbttedealeeineonne, pee- mmeitalsobouahtwaestondmapproved cane. mm the government decided that 0:03 me a) that memenmtd betoaemtythe wholeplan.
