The joint meeting of the service clubs of the Porcupine camp on Monday evening was singularly fortunate in the choice of the speaker for the evenâ€" ing. Mr. R. J. Ennis, general manager of the Mcâ€" Intyre Mine, and chairman of the National War Finance Committee of the District of Cochrane spoke on the new Victory Loan, and his handling of the topic was unusually effective. If anyone who listened to him at the meeting or heard on the radio fails to buy his or her full quota of the new Victory bonds, it will be because they are slow to understand the vital facts presented. Mr. Ennis did not lecture the people on their duty as is done in so many similar addresses. His address showed that he trusted the people and that he beâ€" lieves that a presentation of the hard facts of the case is all that is necessary to bring the best posâ€" sible response from the loyal people of this Doâ€" minion. At the very outset of his address Mr. E;nnis made the need very clear. In a few graphic words he pictured the situation in its grim reality. He pointed out that the enemy is strongly enâ€" trenched, has an immense amount of resources upon which he may still call. The address warned against overâ€"confidenceâ€"pointed out that there is a stubborn contest still before the world before victory will come in sight. He made it very plain that victory will not be within sight until every power and resource of each individual in the Alâ€" lied nations is utilized for an allâ€"out war effort â€"the only war effort that promises anything like an early victory. The second point emphasized by Mr. Ennis was the fact that this is not a war beâ€" tween classes or creeds, or even between nations, but rather a battle between two ways of life and thought. On the one hand there is democracy, freedom, home and loved ones in danger from the Huns. On the other hand‘there is the Nazi idea of world conquest, of domination, of, slavery. Canadians have their choice in the matter, and fe w indeed can doubt the fact that the people of Canada may be depended upon to respond to any and every call made upon them. Next Mr. Ennis reviewed the impressive part that Canada had played in the war effort to date, but he added the selfâ€"evident fact that Canada must redouble its effort. Genuine sacrifice will be demanded from the Canadian people, but all that has been borne and the greater handicaps that may now be enâ€" dured are all as nothing compared to the sacriâ€" fices so freely given by the men and women of the armed forces. Those in the firing lines on the several battle fronts are doing their part in glorâ€" ious way. «It remains for all on the Home Front to bring such a strength and‘sincerity to the proâ€" bilem that Victory will be hastened. Of course, the matter of true economy was touched upon by the speaker. Less purchasing for pleasure, for comâ€" fort and for convenience is becoming increasâ€" ingly necessary. This is essential to relieve the factories and shops for greater effort in making the engines and the munitions of war. In very clear and forceful way Mr. Ennis pictured the honâ€" ourable record of Canada in the war to date. Reâ€" ference was made to the trained forces now in the Army, the Navy and the Air Force. There was mention of the immense amount of the implements and the supplies of war that Canada had provided. The glorious exploits of the fighting forces of Canada came in for approval, with striking referâ€" ence to the notable page in the history of achieveâ€" ment and effectiveness won by the Canadian Navy. After presenting his case from every angle and in full detail, Mr. Ennis made his appeal for an "all out" support by the people for the total war that should be shared by Canada. If this address with its logic and sincerity does not achieve great good and help along. the Victory Loan campaign then this will be because of fault elsewhere than in the excellent address. t y Timmins. 01 moving pictures were shown of local scenery and activity. These were preceded by the presentation of pictures of a number of people prominent at pre- sent in the public eye and mind. A picture of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth was greeted with enthusiastic cheers. There was loud applause when a picture of His Majesty the King was shown. Their Excellencies the Governorâ€"General and his lady were welcomed with approval and esteem when they were shown on the screen. President Roosevelt‘s picture evoked very marked and sincere approval from the large audience gathered from all parts of the North Lang." _ When Premier Churchill‘s face appeared in the pictures the applause was loud and long. But when Premier King appeared on the screen there was an awkward silence. Why was this? The answer séems easy enough to understand.

Every worthy cause has been given outstanding support in Timmins. Few areas! have done as well in the war effort, as this section of the country. There are those, however, who are tempted to feel that more than a fair share of thel burden seems to come this way. With mine Stafis.l already depleted the withdrawal of still another‘ four hundred men in group seems a, genuine hardship. Business men feel the effects of the reduced wage roll of the camp, the loss of so many ‘ families, the withdrawal of so many young men through the calls of the war. There are some who feel depressed when they consider the number of vacant apartments and houses here and the numâ€"| ber of unoccupied stores. Tuesday of this week was paynight in Timmins and nearly every time two. or three happened to meet arnd greet each other reference was almost sure to be made to the comâ€" parative quiectness of the town. To most people it did not seem like a pay\night at all, the ordinary pay night being a very busy and bustling time. There is no doubt at all but that in the matter of difficulties and problems for the citizens this town for the moment appears to have more than itsl share. It is well to remember, however, that there' are scores of other centres throughout Ontario andi the Dominion that are suffering similar hardships.: Indeed, it is a quiet time and a difficult one for all towns and cities that are without speciai war in-' dustries. The comfort that this camp can surely take from this situation is that unfortunate con-} ditions here are due solely to the war and will pass with the ending of the battle. There are some centres that would be happy indeed, if they hadi that assurance. During the last war Timmins had a similar experience to that of the present conâ€". flict, the difference being only one of degree. Only two mines remained in active operation through-% out the last war. One of the big mines, the Dome, found it necessary to close for the duration of the last war on account of the scarcity of manpower. It is believed that through this war the mines will be able to continue, though on a reduced scale of operations. After the last war, Timmins entered on a special degree of progress and expansion. There is every reason to believe that the same conâ€" dition will occur after the present struggle. No one who knows the facts will fail to continue the firmest faith in Tinrmins. It should be noted, too, that on the part of some there is a tendency to _exaggerate the situation here. It could very easily be very much worse,. There are places overseas where it is so immeasurably worse that the situâ€" ation of Timmins and district appears as a happy _one indeed., As a matter of fact there are many places in Canada and the United States where the war has caused more hardship than it has here, and all of them do not have the assurance that Timmins has of progress and prosperity after the war is over. In this matter The Advance likes the attitude of manyâ€"of the oldtimers here, and beâ€" lieves that it is the right attitude. In a word, their idea is this, that no matter what the condition faced through the war, the situation will be acâ€" cepted "chins up" as part of the war effort, though every possible plan will be attempted to keep the conditions as good as possible. In other words, Timmins and district will carry on as effectively as possible, taking reverses in the North Land spirit as but passing handicaps. The one proviso to all this is that there be no unnecessary hardâ€" ship through stupidity or favouritism or other improper cause. many New Canadians who find in the Britishn aims] and aspirations, the same ideals and fervent hopesl that stir their own hearts. Not giver, to noisy deâ€" monstration or to boisterous flag waving these peoâ€"| ple sometimes give a gentle hint. They are weary of political chicanery. They are tired of intellecâ€"; tual trickery. They are disgusted with lack of ; leadership. They are scornful of parochialism and : division and jockeying. They crave wholehearted | enthusiasm, dynamic leadership, broad loyalty and wholehearted faith. In King and Queen, in Govâ€" ernorâ€"General, in Churchill, they see these things. In President Rooosevelt they see the same broad ideals, backed by the same firm faith and earnest! wholeheartedness.

There is an.old saying that "a liar must have a good memory."‘ A liar these days needs much more than a good memory. Indeed, the easiest way these days is to tell the truth. Even then, even a good liar need not expect to be believed. Little Goebbels, that big fabricator of the Feuhâ€" rer, was caught in his own lies the other day. He publicized the story that the United States had publicly announced the loss of 2,301 ships since the U.S.A. entered the war. What the United States did actually announce was that 2,301 officers and men in the navy had been listed as casualties since the United States entered the war. In another paragraph the German distorter of facts claimed that the number of United States casuglities toâ€" talled 22,300 officers and men since the war began.

The industry milled 864,804 tons of ore anh recovered 224,521 ounces gold, 32,1777 ounces silver valued at $3,846,203 Comparable figures for July were, 921,â€" 074 tons milled, 231,315 cunces gold, 52,525 ounces silver valued at $8,924,878. Persenage decrease therefore was 6.11% in ore treated, 2.94% and 37.860% resâ€" pectively in gold and silver recovery and 312% in value. In August 1941, ore milled was 17.24% and the value 16.69% greator than for the month un der review. Grade of ore in August 1941 at $10.00 was the highest since Apâ€" ril 1941. Some time ago there were some newspapers worrying about the fact that the people of the Canadian "Soo" were calling themselves "Sooites." Any of these newspapers that find insufficient room for worry in regard to the war and politics might well turn their attention now to the little community of Germanicus, near Pembroke. Do the people of Germanicus, call themselves "Gerâ€" manilcusses?" Daily average figures indicated that tonnage milled was the lowest in many years at 27,897 tons.
