Canadaâ€"$2.00 Per Year For many years past the annual number of The Northern Miner has been recognized as of special value to the mining industry, to this North Land and its mining resources, and through these to the Dominion as a whole. The 1941 annual number of The Northern Miner sets new high standards for the publication and because of the wealth of its information and suggestion, the number may truly be termed a patriotic work. It is generally recognized that presentâ€"day mechanized warfare is in effect a battle of the metals and in the struggle the annual number of The Northern Miner shows that Canada is taking a leading part.. "Eight hundred thousand tons of metals annually are thrown into the struggle for British Empire survival," is the picturesque way in which The Northern Miner phrases a truth. In this North Land there is a pardonable tendency to think of mining chiefly in terms of gold. The Northern Miner does not belittle the value of the gold output, but it does call attention to some of the dangers of the day and it does stress the vital importance of the base metals. It is pointed out that Canada toâ€"day has the refining capacity to produce the essential metals, nickel, copper, lead, zinc and aluminum to the amount of 800,000 tons PAGE FPOUR a year, by far the greater part of this being availâ€" able for export. Steel is the metal most neseded in warfare, but without the nonâ€"ferrous metais steel would not be of much value. Copper, aluminum, nickel take such an important part in the war effort that Canada‘s share in the road to victory may be a very important one. Canada has around eighty per cent. of the world‘s nickel supply, yet Canada had not gone very far in its war effort beâ€" fore there appeared to be danger of a shortage of nickel. The reason for this was the fact that durâ€" ing the times of peace the International Nickel Company expended millions of dollars to develop new uses for nickel, apart from war purposes, and this work was so successful that there was such a demand for nickel for many other purposes that steps had to be taken to assure sufficient of this vital metal for necessary war uses. The Internaâ€" tional Nickel Co., however, has met the situation TIMMINS, ONTARIO Cannadian Weekiy Newspaper Association; Quebec Newspaper Association TWO PHONESâ€"26 and 2020 Published Every Thursday by GEO. LAKE, Owner and Publisher in effective way, with the result that nickel is being produced at three times the rate of the boom period of 1929 and four times the amount produced during the last war period. In referring to the value of minerals in the watr effort, the annual number of The Northern Miner does not forget to give due place to Canada‘s oil supply. Nine and a half million barrels of oil is Alberta‘s quota, the issue states. There is also reference to coal, lignite, and other minerals that are indirectly valuable in regard to the successful prosecution of the war. Northern Ontario‘s ligâ€" nite comes in for special attention with a hopeful note through the article of W. G. Nixon, Indusâ€" trial Commissioner of the T. N. O. Railway. Among the scores of articles of special interest at the moment is one by Frank Lendrum, of Cobalt, who makes it plain that the "best old town"" has refused to join the innumerable company of "ghost towns." While silver toâ€"day is not a vital issue, cobalt is a very necessary mineral in war work, and Cobalt is furnishing considerable tonnage of this needed war mineral. | Timmins, Ont., Thursday, Nov. 27th, 1941 There are many of the feature articles in the annual number of The Northern Miner that will make double appeal to Porcupine people. These include an article on prospecting by Prof. Geo. B. Langford, of the Dept. of Geology, Toronto Uniâ€" versity; ‘"Thirtyâ€"five Thousand Men Undermine Hitler,‘" by Maurice Tremblay, Statistician Onâ€" tario Dept. of Mines; "Canada Leads All in Platiâ€" num": an article on British Columbia mines by Hon. W. J. Asselstine, Minister of Mines, British Columbia; "Thirtyâ€"oneâ€"yearâ€"old Dome Still Going Strong"; "Miner, Like Soldier, is Taught to Use His Head These Days," by Ralph H. Cleland; "Otâ€" tawa Adopts Bits and Pieces Production," by Geo. C. Cole. The 1941 annual number of The Northern Miner, with its 152 pages of information, opinion and statistics, its effective illustrations, and its atâ€" tractive appearance, should prove a valuable ally for Canada‘s war effort and for the development of the Dominion‘s mining industry, so essential for the country‘s progress in days of peace, and so vÂ¥ital for safety and success in these dire days of In Toronto and other Canadian city newspapers these days there appear every day one or more letâ€" ters from soldiers‘ wives, from soldiers themselves, or from the friends of soldiers and their families, letters of protest because while many highlyâ€"paid groups of workers are allowed to share in the cost of living bonus, this privilege is denied to the deâ€" pendents of soldiers. Recent amendments to the regulations in regard to the allowances available to the dependents of soldiers on service undoubtâ€" edly will help the soldiers‘ families, but it appears that these amendments do not fully meet the needs of the situation. The Advance has sugâ€" Che Yorrupine V ALUABLE TO THE NATION «tÂ¥ lt mt P PP L AL C L â€"AC L LCA P PAAA C PP PP P l P l Subscription Rates: Unite Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year gested from time to time that some form of "cost ofâ€"living bonus"‘would be the fairest way to help the families of tiie men on service. There surely can be no question as to the fact that soldiers‘ dependents are among those specially feeling the increase in the cost of a matter of fact it would appear that the families of men on active service will be more affected by increased costs than the average. The loss of the breadâ€"winner in itself makes for increased cost of living. Then there are a number of special calls that appear inevitable in these cases. It is true, of course, that all should expect to make sacrifices and bear some hardaship in the cause of liberty and righteousness, but surely in this there should not be discriminaâ€" tion in regard to the families of the men who are giving their all to the cause. Surely, civil serâ€" vants, workers at high pay in munition plants, and others in places of safety and with their families around them, might better be asked to forego the cost of living bonus for the benefit of the soldiers. It would appear to be the patriotic, the logical, the reasonable attitude that the families of the men who are risking health and life itself at $1.30 per day should be preferred above all others. The Picton Gazette forgets itself to the extent of comparing the allowance to soldiers‘ families with the dole meted out to those on relief. Soldiers‘ dependents. it suggests, have an allowance that is bountiful in comparison to the maintenace given by direct relief. If this rich Dominion would conâ€" sider placing the dependents of its fighting forces on relief rations, then Canadians might well hang their heads in shame. With highlyâ€"paid men in safe and soft places, with civil servants, munition workers, party hacks helped by cost of living bonus, with all the generous salaries and expenses and bonuses the order of the day, it is about time that the country roused itself to see to it that someâ€" thing more than a relief status is considered for the families of the men who are making it posâ€" sible for all others to have a chance to enjJoy a living wage, let alone a cost of living bonus. Lieut.â€"Col. James Mess, Civilian Director of Reâ€" cruiting, recently issued an appeal to the people of Canada. It was headed in bold letters, "Wake Up, Canada." . This message said:â€""Of course we must build the planes, the ships, tanks, and all the other tools of war. Naturally, we must buy War Savings Certificates, save gasoline, and a hundred other things. But, after all that, to win the war, we must fill the Army. We must make "Volunteer for Victory‘"‘ the motto of Canada. Then and only then will "V‘" stand for Victory." It would appear that the Civilian Director of . Reâ€" cruiting and the Government of Canada should get together and decide what is really needed at the momentâ€"apart from the idea of a part of a part of a party remaining in power, with all the patronage and the perquisites implied. Indeed the appeal should have been to the government, rather than to the people. It should have been headed "Wake Up, Government", rather than "Wake Up, Canada." case fully and correctly. There must be saving and economy and thrift, there must be war supâ€" plies and munitions, there must be planes and tanks and so on, but there must also be more and more men. Sometimes it seems as if the enemy had prepared an inexhausitbhle supply of war weaâ€" ponsâ€"and men. There should be no copying of the enemy‘s methods in these matters. The Nazi plan has been founded on nothing else than slayâ€" ery. It was virtual slavery of the people of Gerâ€" many that made the Nazi war machine possible. It is slavery in its vilest form that has made posâ€" sible the tremendous supply of men for the Gerâ€" man fighting forces. Recently, there has been inâ€" formation madte available as to how Germany‘ The Civilian Director of Recruiting placed the t I t € C ( ( ] I I C | !1 1 \1 , 4 gathered the millions of men needed for the atâ€", tack on Russia.

Even before [ the Russian venture, the Nazis, admitted that 1,650,000, civilian foreigners and 1,350,000 prisoners of war were at work for the German war machine. This, of course, is against all international law, against all decency and right. It should not be copied by Canada. But Canada might at least see that alien enemies in this land are not allowed to work against the war effort as they have done in‘ some instances. In a decent and reasonable way alien labour might be utilized at fairâ€"rate for pro-| duction of Canada‘s war needs. War production! should not require cost of living bonuses that would| leave soldiers‘ ‘dependents on relief scale of exisâ€"| tence. This is not to advocate Nazi methods by any means. Rather it is to urge the adoption of the British plan of "allâ€"out‘" for the war. Britain is using all lawful measures to supply all the muniâ€" tions of warâ€"and all the men needed. Canada should do the same. Under the present condition this is not possible. The first step necessary is a National Government. If all the peopie of Canada are to give their all to the war effort they cannot be led or held back by a part of a part of a party. The first requirement for an allâ€"out effort is anl allâ€"out governmentâ€"a government free from party prejudice and party pull and party patronageâ€"a government of all the people by all the people for |all the people.

The fact that he was able by sheer worth to offset their venal spleen is perhaps the greatest proof of the size of his Canadian greatness. Still stands the motto of the King: "Put into your task whaterver :t 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."

Carter, Chief of Police Pinegar, of Kirkland Lake asked that immediate help be secured from the provincial police to preâ€" serve law and order in Kirkland Lake during the strike there. The chief‘s letter noted a number of cases where men had continued work and their families had been interfered with. He told of one case where a woman in delicate condition had been visited by groups of men no less than six Funeral Services for First Timmins War Casualty Held Here Sorrowing friends and relaiives gathered at St. Matthew‘s Anglican Church on Thursday afterncon at two o‘clock, to pay a last sad tribute to LAC Joseph Aho, of the RCAF., who was killed in a fAying accident near St. Catharines on November 17th.

Ship‘s Third Officer Born in Timmins Reported Missing Many in Timmins will learn with the deepest regre; that John Birnie Dougall, second mate on one of the many ships daring the double dangers of the seas these days in the vital duty of transporting goods across the seas, has been reported as missiing. John Birnie Dougall was born in Timmins, in March, 1920, and so is a genuine Timmins lad. His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs Pat Dougall have been residents of Cornwall, Ontario, for several years, where Mr. Dougall is manager of the National Grocers branch at that Eastern Ontario town. John Birnie Dougall, Aged 21, Listed Among the Missing. Mr. Dougall was manager of the Naâ€" tional Grocers at Timmins in earlier days of the camp, and Mr. Dougall also was in business for himself here for some time. The family had wide circles of friends here, and took active and valuable part in the life of the town in the years after the last war, Mr. Dougall being prominent in the Kiwanis Club, the board of trade, and in fraternal and other ciroles here. In a letter this week to Mrs. W. W. White, Tamarack street, Mrs. Dougall writes that their son, Birnie, who was third officer on a merchant marine vesâ€" siel, was reported as missing on Nov 18th. Official word to this effect was sent the family but no particulars were given. It is understood, however, that the boat on which he was third in ccmmand, was torpedoed. There is, of cours;2, a chance that Birnie may be safe now in some port, and there will be general hope that this may be the case. He had made remarkable proâ€" gress in his chosen calling, having the standing of third officer though only 21 years of age. A letter to Mrs. White in July sugâ€" gests the earnestness and the talent o% Birnie Dougall. This letter written July 11th said:â€""We had a cable from Birnie a week ago to say that he had passed his exams. He went to Aberâ€" deen after his apprenticeship (which was curtailed from four years to three). He studied for a few months at Gorâ€" don‘s College, then went to Glasgow and took his exams He passed third and second mate in one, so ncw he can take a s>cond mate‘s position. I think he will make for Canada now, and sail out of this country, as he would like to see us once in a while, but he will be hearing of his whereabouts sooner or later. We heard that his boat was torâ€" pedoed and by little hints here and there in his letters, I believe so, but it made Glasgow port with a hole in its side. They are not allowed to give any information. It is a worrying bussness, and it will be a miracle if he gets through , these awful days. The rest of the family are well, and very glad to be British."

S. W.," said the chief‘s letter. "Crimes covered are assault, intimidation and kidâ€" napping. Charges will be laid in most of these cases." Reeve Carter, on the strength of this letâ€" ter asked for provincial help. There was prompt response to this request, the province sending in some 180 provincial policemen. Now, the Reeve the Chief of Police, the Union, the Township Counâ€" cil, all condemn this number as too large and likely to be "provocative," if there is any sense to that. Premier Hepburn‘s reply to that is to say that law and order will be maintained and that more men will be sent in if they appear to be needed. It is hard to believe that the people of Kirkland Lake including the great majority of the Union memâ€" bers will not believe that if incidents like those noted by the police chief have occurred a large force of police is necessary to prevent similar occurrences. Innocent and unoffending people have nothing to fear from any number of police. Kirkland Lake has had a good reputation for law and order, and the great majority of the people of the town should give their fullest support at this time to the maintenance of that good law and order. tabilities of Customers under Letts in "C:IrCUIRCGION ... . . . .:. tal Deposits.. ; tters of Credit ()utstdndm CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET, 31st OCTOBER, 1941 t ns and Discount ind Undivided Profits eholders Accidents in Town The actuzl cost in dollars and cents that was los; in the months of August, September and October in traffic acciâ€" dents in the town of Timmins amountâ€" ed to a little more than four thousand dollars.
