TWO PHONESâ€"38 and 3000 Published: Every Thursday b7y GEKO. LAEE, Ouwner and Publlshers has twelve sides will be easier to hang onto and control than one that has only one side in a circle, or words to that effect. A Scotsman who could not hang on to a nitkel no matter how few sides it might or might not have would not be old enough to vote. So there you are! But where are you? And where are all the nickels old or new2 . _ The Advance has been asked by a couple of reaâ€" ders to give a plausible explanation for the coin= ing new twelveâ€"sided nickel that isn‘t nickel. It may well be that the twelveâ€"sided nickel is the forerunner of National Government. Of course, Canada toâ€"day needs a National Government more than it needs a twelveâ€"sided nickel at Ottawa. But why bring that up? The party in power at Otâ€" tawa is split about a dozen ways, and a twelveâ€" sided nickel seems to be an appropriate way to commemorate the fact. Onejside could stand for the Mackenzie King Liberals. A second side might represent the Hepburn Liberals, while the third side might be in loving memory of the plain old« twmeral The fourth side may be in honour of the Conservatives, if there is any such anma.lanymore The old line machine Tory may _ the fifth side. It is a pity that mfikm‘mmtthatmmrmem In as the Nev nemocracy Party the Bocial Credlt The latest reports from Ottawa, however, do seem to suggest "funny . money." It is announced solemnlyâ€"after the manner of the humorists who are funniest when they are the saddestâ€"that Canada is to have a new nickel that is not nickel and will not even be round. . As far as that goes the old nickel never seemed to be round when it was most needed. Anyway, the new nickel that isn‘t nickel is to be a manyâ€"sided coin. It is to have twelve sides and no milling, according to the reports. That appears to be putting on @ lot of side for a mere fiveâ€"cent piets. As to the lack of milling, it may. be taken for granted that on the average church collection plate the new nickelâ€"â€" like the oider onesâ€"may be depended upon to do a lot of milling around on its own. ' There are a number of reasons suggested for the new coins having twelve sides. None of these reasons seems to be adequate. For example, it is intimated in some circleés that‘ the â€"néew twolveâ€" sided nickel is specially designed ‘to catch the Seotâ€" tish vote, on the plea that :a.piece of money; that The Globe and Mail has cause for worry and pain, but scarcely grounds for puzzlement. The matter is as plain as petty politics. The people can say anything they like about the Empire or the war. But Heaven help the brave fellow who dares to whisper a word against the part of a‘part of a party. In recent years there has neen a lot of talk about "funny money," though most people have only a hazy idea of what the expression mlay mean. The trouble is that the average fellow doesn‘t see enough of money, or see it long enough, to know whether it is funny or not. The world has been taught to believe that "money talks," but only those with a higher education can imagine that money laughs out loud. It was reported a few years ago that they had "funny money" out in Al}â€" berta, but later reports suggested that it wasn‘t the money that was so funny., i A Cabinet minister said in effect that the forâ€" tunes of the part of ‘a party at Ottawa were more important than the fortunes of war. ~Nothing hapâ€" pened over thatâ€"very promptly and sternly. Another manâ€"a number of mienâ€"openly deâ€" clare that Oanadian soldiers should not go into battle at all. As The Ottawa Journal put it, it is not the duty or power of the censors to prosecute anybody for anything. One man is prosecuted for demanding that Canâ€" adian soldiers be not sent into battle without beâ€" ing properly trained and equipped. The Globe and Mail has much more than that to deplore. . It appears to that estimable newspaper thal there is something wrong with democracy, govâ€" ernment and common sense in Canada, not to mention justice ‘and fair play. , Mr. Rene Chalout, member of the Quebec Legisâ€" lature for Latbiniere. said in a public speech that after the war he hoped that Canada would break its ties with Britain. Mr. Chalout was acquitted of any breach of the Defence of Oanada regulations. This week he was given a public banquet in honâ€" our of his acquittal. Mayof Houde,. of Montreal publicly expressed himself against National Registration. He was in â€" terned and still stays that way. The Globe ‘and Mail is â€"apparently worried beâ€" cause one man can talk against the Empire and be banquetted, while another man is held in duâ€" rance vile because he criticizes a minor form of governmental regulsation. Timmins, Ont., Thursday, August 13th, 1942 The Globe and Mail is astonished, amazed, puzâ€" zled and pained. Wavu es Bs se es CCC M Purty the ubonr Party, the U. R.

For the benefit of the unâ€" initiated, it may be explained that a "press reâ€" lease" is usually some propaganda, and that in such propaganda the iauthorities are less careful than they would be in paid advertising, because the newspapers more or less assume the responâ€" sibility for the propaganda. At the very least the government officially accepts no obligation in press releases, the onus naturally revolving on the shoulders of the newspapers using the material. If the manufacturers were compelled to continue some of their truly cheaper lines, the idea would be an excellent one. There is a‘danger, however, that the people may suffer from the fect that there are several meanings to the word "cheap." The dictionary defines "cheap" as (1) low in price; (2) common; mean; of little value. There is, of course, benefit where goods follow the definition, Where cheapness, however, means "mean" iand "of little value,‘"‘ then there is decided injury. In practically every line of goods, there are standard brands that have won reputation more on quality than on price. As a,matter of fact these quality goods are really "cheap‘"‘ in the better meaning of the word. They are of "low cost‘" in comparison to the, wear or use. This fact applies to scores of artlcles from foods to printing. On the other hand there have always been manufacturers and dealâ€" ers who have no appeal except that of cheapness. Their goods @are truly "mean," "of little value." Many people were given living proof of this fact during the depression before the war. People who were short of money were tempted: to buy "cheap" brands, only to find that they were the "most exâ€" pensive," because they were "of little value." These soâ€"called "cheap‘"‘ lines made the depression last longer for many. Manufacturers and merâ€" chants in the past have done much by newspaper advertising to show the public that the quality article is in reality the article that is truly of low cost. At the present time some merchants and manufacturers imagine that the difficulty of seâ€" curing goods and the fact that there is a price ceiling on practically all wares lessens the need for extensive advertising. As a matter of fact there never was a time when the iright sort of adâ€" vertising was more urgently needed. These are days when waste of any kind should be avoided. There is certainly waste in buying goods of "little value." This is no advocacy of highâ€"priced goods, though often soâ€"called "highâ€"price‘" goods are the cheapest in the end. It appears to be the duty of merchants and manufacturers to keep the public informed. This will be a good investment, paying dividends for a long term of years. In this matter the Wartime Price and Trade Board can assist very materially. Any price ceiling that permits the foisting on the public of shoddy goods defeats its own purpose. The exigencies of the war should not be made the excuse for making living unnecesâ€" sarily expensive through the deception of the peoâ€" ple into the belief that they are buying lines "of small cost," when in reality they are bearing the burden of accepting goods "ofilittle value." There are people who are actually kept poor through the expense of buying soâ€"called "cheap‘"‘ products. At the present time "value‘‘ should be emphasized. There should be the very minimum of shoddy. In past years much of this shoddy material has been i‘it!lDOrted. ‘"‘For "cheap" goods Japan has made a name for itsel$ in peace time that is as little to be envied as its wartime notoriety. There.should be no encouragement given to the building up in Canada of}; any lines of "cheap‘"‘ shoddy goods that have ‘"little value." Price ceilings, and various forms of taxes now prevailing will‘do much to preâ€" ,rvent profiteering through high prices. Genuine assistance may be given to the people in general }if steps are taken to protect the people from any unnecessary profiteering through "cheap‘"‘ lines that are "of little value." Manufacturers should be encoturagedâ€"even compelledâ€"to place their wares within the reach of @ll, so far as this is posâ€" sible. The cheaper lines of goods â€" where they ve valueâ€"should be continued. There is a danâ€" ger, however, that in some cases quality goods may be dropped in favour of soâ€"called cheaper lines that are in reality much more expensive for the public. There should be: general watchfuilness that the whole purpose of wartime regulations may not hfl fietuted by substitution of "cheap‘" goodsâ€" i ltnn-â€"formunmatthelmr Paul Pouliot. That account for the sixth, seventh, gighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh sides. That leaves only the twelfth side to name. Why not give that to the Quebec Party‘and call it a day? Of one thing all may be sure, and that is that the new synthetic nickel is not being made for the part of a part of a party at Ottawa. That gang of gentlemen would not look at a nickel, even if it had twentyâ€"four sides. Nickels are for the comâ€" mon folks with their manyâ€"sided troubles. Even the "dollar a year‘"‘ men won‘t be paid in ‘twelveâ€" sided nickels. And that brings the subject to‘the very heart of the problem. What this country needs is not a twelveâ€"sided nickel made of a cheap composition, but rather that money of all denomâ€" Inations over $50,000.00 should be made in the form of an allâ€"steel padlock so that all large amounts on hand could be chained down to the National war effort.

Here‘s another one of the stories goâ€" ing around in Europe: At Schiedam, near Rotterdam, where the Germans have taken over shipâ€" yards for their own purpose, a new submarine slid into the water. But Nazi cheers were suddenly hushed, for the Uâ€"boat went to the bottom with its German crew. When the second submarine built to the same specifications was ready for launching, the Nazis, deciding to profit by past experiences, manned it with an allâ€"Dutch crew.

Philadelphia, for example, has its chest inâ€" flated because it boasts the first lady "iceman." Some newspapers appear to see the end of} a faâ€" mous line of alleged humour once "icemen" and policemen become ‘"ladies.‘" Of course that does not necessarily follow, as the)tmth is that due to women crowding into the places formerly helt by men, there is a serious shortage of domestic help with the consequent use of men for such positions. Accordingly the old "icemen" and "policemen" jokes, with ia little twisting can be as good as ever. Many people believe that the use of women for positions generally held by men is an innovation due(fb the present war. It may surprise some to know that the first woman constable in Ontario was‘duly sworn in and‘carried through the duties of the office over forty years ago. This was Mrs. Sharpe, local superintendent for the Childr_en’s Aid Society in Victoria and Haliburton .counties.
