PAGE PoUNR An editorial article in The Kin week says:â€""After this war is . turn to air travel and transport t the generation after the first wa cars as a means <of opening new tion and travel." Canadaâ€"$2.00 Per Y\ It may be so! And then again it may not! One of the peculiarities of human kind is that they do not follow along the line of logical theories, but the most unexpected fashions may prevail without rhyme or reason. During the last war The Adâ€" vance pointed out that for this North Land with its immense distances,, the airplane seemed to be the ideal form of travel and transportation. At that time there were no highways in this part of the North and road transportation was both inâ€" adccuate and unsatisfactoryâ€"such as there was of it. Hundreds of men left here to take up work as pilots in the air force. Others jJoined the mechanical branch of the air service. More men joined the Royal Air Force from Timmins than from any other centre in Canada. When the Canaâ€" dian Air Force was established it appeared as if there would be no suitable men left here to make much of a representation in the Canadian air serâ€" vice, but despite the previous enlistments, there seemed to be a large number from Timmins and district joining the newer air force. It seemed to be logical to suppose that after the . war was ended there would be hundreds back here with knowledge and experience in the air service, others with the necessary acquaintance and skill necesâ€" sary to keep an ain service for peace on very pracâ€" tical lines. That there was enthusiasm for flying may be taken for granted. When the Timmins Football Club the year after the war ended brought the first airplane to this part of the country as a feature for a day of sports, the novelty proved most popular. People paid $15.00 for fifteen minutes of flight in that performing plane. It is interesting to note that in more recent years that rate of one dollar a minute has prevailed in another different method of using the air for travel purposes, words being in this case the commodity transported on the ether. TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Woekly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association TWO PHONESâ€"26 and 2020 Ki P P AA â€"AC L L ACâ€"AC â€"AC C P P L P oNo‘«“o'ooomnf, About the time the last great war ended, The Advance had visions of the men of the air forces turning their knowledge, . their skill and ,their courage to the development the airplane in peace service. There were enough skilled pilots to assure a full force of operators for the planes necessary to gite speedy transportation service to this land of immense distances. The Advance saw the big mining companies speeding up prospecting and the development of new mines by the use .Oof the airplane. But the men, of the air forces, went back to work in the mines, in factories, in stores, in the school room, in a score of other occupaâ€" tions. It was many years after before any mine here used the planes in practical way. It is true that there has been considerable deâ€" velopment in the use of the airplane in Canada since the last great war. There is now regular air service across the whole broad width of this Dominion. Toâ€"day there is a comparatively large number of planes in active service opening up the North. Several of the mines in the Porcupine area have planes of their own.. The development of air service since the last war, however, is only a fracâ€" tion of what the logic of the situation suggested as possible and desirable. In 1918â€"beforeâ€"the end of the last warâ€"there were 275.746 motor vehicles registered in Canada. In 1919 there were only 341,316. In 1920 the numâ€" ber had grown to 407,834. There was a gradual increasge each year from 1920, but it was not until ,1928-»â€"5011 years after the war had been wonâ€"that the motor vehicle registration for Canada °xâ€" ceeded million. It does not seem to have beer any watr influence that has been responsible for the remarkable popularity of the motor vehicle Instead, the recent very rapid growth of the use 0| motor vehicles may be traced to the fact tha prices for cars had been reduced to a popular leve where only a few hundred dollars is sufficient t« purchase to motor car. If the manufacturers 0 planes can reduce the prices to the level of a fey hundred dollars, it is only logical to expect trave by air to attain popularity oniy exceeded by th development of the motor car, There is hope fo *such a desired result.

The words kes the description fact that no such found in the ordiâ€" se stt P AP P PP PA e I nary reliable dictionary. It may be deduced, howâ€" ever, that the meaning is that Mr. Richards is an expert in the science of language. That is too flattering a description for a fellow who would do what he has done. Mr. Richards has had the audacity to pick one hundred words from the dicâ€" tionary and allege that these one hundred words are the great words, the key words, the essential basic words upon which language must rest. Here are the hundred "great" words as listed by this Mr. Richards:â€" | "Amount, Argument, Art, Be, Beautiful, Belief, Cause, Certain, Chance, Clear, Common, Comparison, Condition, Connecâ€" tion, Copy, Decision, Degree, Desire, Development, Different, End, Event, Exâ€" ample, Existence, Experience, Fact, Fear, Feeling, Fiction, Force, Form, Free, Inâ€" _terest, Knowledge, Law, Let, Level, Living, Love, Make, Material, Measure, Mind, Motion, Name, Nation, Natural, Necessary, Normal, Number, Observation, Opposite, Order, Organization, Part, Place, Pleasure, Possible, Power, Probable, Property, Purâ€" pose, Quality, Question, Reason, Relation, Representatiye, _ Respeéect, Responsible, Right, Same, Say, Science, See, Seem, Sense, Sign, Simple, Society, Sort, Special, Substance, Thing, Thought, True, Usé, Way, Wise, Word, Work." Not only has Mr. Richards the temerity to set out what he considers the most important words in the world, but he also has the ill grace to leave out a large number of much more important words â€"words that are truly "key" words, the Semanâ€" ticist. It seems on the surface that he has left out as many vital words as he has listed. Indeed it might well be that he had the wrong hundred, so essenâ€" tial are many other words to life itself. No list of! key words, basic words of power, is complete withâ€" out Children, Wife, Mother, Father, Son. Daughter, Home, Action, Music, Justice, Virtue, Kindness, Hope, Courage, Victory. To list Science and forâ€" get Faith; to mention Knowledge and neglect Virtue; to note Fear and overlook Courage; to honour Power and disregard Kindness; these are the wrong policies that have pushed the world along to its present unfortunate situation. There are qualities and characters that are beyond all material things. Science, Power and Law are in reality of no account when contrasted with Faith, Hope and Charity. lots of good used cars on the miarket! No more new tires?

There are few things these daysâ€"apart from the editorials and the adâ€" vertisementsâ€"to impress anyone with the trutt that the battle is a life and death struggle! Proâ€" fits, partyism, plebiscites and other wasteful anc absurd oddities are the order of the day. There are earnest folks who feel so deeply the need fol an awakening to the fact that there is a war ir ‘progress that they actually â€"cail for one of the tragedies of war to visit Canadaâ€"preferably : bombing attack on the East or West coastâ€"whichâ€" ever coast happens to be the farthest away... Forâ€" tunately, so drastic an alarm clock is not neces sary. The lesson that a bitter battle rages ma} be forced upon the Canadian conscience by les: terrifying forces than actual:bombing or invasion For example,, when a distinctly Canadian institu tion that has become a regular integral part of th life of the nation, is forced by the war to disconâ€" tinue for the duration of the war, then surely 1 should not be difficult for all to realize that conâ€" ditions are serious. For example suppose it were necessary to suspend all schools, or newspapers, 0. theatres for the duration of the struggle, wouli not such a fact arouse popular realization? There {has been suppression of such a national institu tion for the duration of the war. Announcemen was made some days ago, that, complying with i request from the Department of National Defense |the Board of the Canadian National .
