Councillor Gladstone‘s plan is to have the law amended so that the man who contracts tubercuâ€" losis or has that disease develop to a degree that unfits him for work will be entitled to compensaâ€" tion, if it can be demonstrated that his condition is due to his work. In most cases of tuberculosis among workers underground it might well be taken for granted that their condition may be chargeable to their daily occupation and environment. This proposal should be given the hearty support of all. The resolution moved by Councillor Gladestone will be presented to the Ontario Municipal Associaâ€" tion for endorsation. It will also be presented to the Ontario Government for action. It would be a good plan.for the public in general to give very hearty support to this proposal, which promises very vital help not only to the mine workers but also to the municipalities of the North. A suburban New York newspaper recently made a fiveâ€"week survey in a number of leading grocery stores. Customers were interviewed daily over a period of five weeks, and some interesting facts were uncovered. It was found that the average housewife had practically ceased to ask for various brands of goods that had formerly been her faâ€" vourites. This was due to the fact that in so many Years ago thedoctors, no doubt with the symâ€" pathy of the mines, appeared to be ready to class all cases where both tuberculosis and silicosis were present as silicosis cases, and accordingly under the Compensation Act. There were those in the North, however, who believed, or claimed to beâ€" lieve, that too many cases classed as tuberculosis victims should have been listed as silicosis patients. Agitation resulted in a very close checkâ€"up and review of all cases recorded as silicosis. The evenâ€" tual result has seemed to be a tendency to call all cases tuberculosis unless there is an unusual deâ€" gree of silicosis evident. The sufferer termed a tuberculosis patient receives no compensation. In too many cases he becomes a burden on the muniâ€" cipality or on some form of relief. In recent years there have been innumerable cases of the hardship suffered by miners and their families, and indirectly by the municipalities, through the fact that while silicosis is considered an occupational disease in the mining industry, its twin, tuberculosis, does not call for any compenâ€" sation. It appears to be an established fact that a man with silicosis appears to be more susceptible to tuberculosis than the average. The two diseases in any event have a most unfortunate habit of going together, and there is a growing feeling that the present government‘s policy has been to clas< as tubercular those ‘who have that disease even though they may also have a touch of silicosis.f Doctors admit the difficulty of assessing with abâ€" solute accuracy the degree of silicosis and the deâ€" gree of tuberculosis from which a particular paâ€" tient may suffer. At the meeting, on Monday cases were quoted where men classed as tubercuâ€" | losis cases were later found to be also silicotics, though experts had minimized the degree of siliâ€"| cosis present. In some cases only a postâ€"mortem made evident the fact that the patient suffered to serious extent from silicosis. At the present time silicosis is recognized as an occupational disease in the mining industry, and the man found to be a victim of that disease is entitled to treatment and to compensation. There seems to be few cases of silicosis where there is no tuberculosis. As Counâ€" cillor McGuire, of Kirkland Lake pointed out at the meeting on Monday night, the progress of siliâ€" cosis appears to stop when exposure to the silica dust ceases, while tuberculosis is an active disease that continues even when there is a change of occupation or environment. This fact complicates the situation in which a man finds himself if he is considered as having only a small degree of siliâ€" cosis and a little larger touch of tuberculosis. While he suffers from silicosis as well as from tubercuâ€" losis, the latter grows in proportions, while the former appears dormant. The suggestion of Councillor E. W. Gladstone that tuberculosis should be considered as an occuâ€" pational disease, so far as mining is concerned, and so come under the Compensation Act, met with very general favour among the members of the Association present. Dr. Harper, one of the Tisâ€" dale councillors, added the weight of his long experience and skilled knowledge to the advocacy Of Councillor Gladstone. Canadaâ€"$2.00 Per Year At the meeting in the Timmins municipal buildâ€" ing on Monday evening of the Association of Norâ€" thern Mining Mumicipalities there was some disâ€" cussion of the prevalence of silicosis and tubercuâ€" losis among mine workers. The Advance believes that this was one of the most important of the many matters considered by the Association, and for this reason this part of the meeting is dealt with in a separate article in this issue.

Thursday, August 12th, 1943 United Statesâ€"$8.00 Per Year One thing that should be borne in mind about escaped prisonersâ€"ofâ€"war is that with tens of thouâ€" sands of such prisoners in Canada there have been only a very few escapes. All but two have been recaptured. So far as known only one succeeded in getting back to Germany. It appears to be the case that despite the more brutal and ruthless treatment of prisoners in Germany ten have esâ€" caped from that country to every one that has made even temporary escape in Canada. One reason for this is that the underground systems of sympathizers are much more effective in Europe than on this continent. It seems evident, however, that the Nazis have some sympathizers and helpers here. Otherwise Krug in his last escape would not have been able to secure the clothing, food and money in his possession when arrested by Sergt. Devine. There should be very determined and ruthless effort to seek out and punish such symâ€" pathizers for the traitors they are. It is easy to criticize those in charge of interment camps, the police and other concerned. It may be the fact that the military authorities do not seek the full and earnest coâ€"operation they would certainly reâ€" ceive from, the police forces. It is well to rememâ€" ber, however, that those in charge of the internâ€" ment camps have many special considerations that bind them. In any event, criticism should be temâ€" pered by the record of the facts. The trifling numâ€" ber of escapes compared to the immense number of prisonersâ€"ofâ€"war is its own complete refutation of any adverse criticisny of the authorities. This week has seen considerable attention paid to the matter of escaped prisonersâ€"ofâ€"war in this North Land. The fact that it was a former Timâ€" mins police sergeant who was responsible for the capture of the notorious German prisonerâ€"ofâ€"war, Krug,lcreated considerable interest in Timmins and district. It may be noted in passirg that some who would now make a glamourous hero of Sergt Devine for his capture of Krug were not ready to give him a fair deal when he was on the Timmins police force. Interest in the matter of escaped priâ€" S:oners-of-war was increased here this week when there was word of another escape from a Northern Ontario interment camp. This latest escape was complicated by the fact that at first the wrong description was given out of the escaped prisonerâ€" ofâ€"war. Apparently, the prisonersâ€"ofâ€"war helpI any who escapne by tricks to confuse identity. At! the first discovery of an escape all the authorities;‘ may know as a fact is that one prisoner has esâ€" cape. Frequent changes of guards adds to this difficulty. f | It is not necessary to go as far as New York State to find people who are liable to become forâ€" gotten folk through failure to keep their names and brands before the public through newspaper advertising. The merchant or other business man who fails toâ€"day to use newspaper advertising is missing a special chance. At the nmnoment his adâ€" vertising will have less competition than in some former years. The public is in very receptive mood for quality and service. The advertiser who perâ€" sists in taking the public into his confidence in regard to the difficulties of the day and who conâ€" sistently keeps his name before the public will find himself in most favourable position after the war ends. One of the firms that has won public contiâ€" dence as well as big business through newspaper. advertising is the Bell Telephone Co. These days} the Bell Co., is spending thousands of dollars weekly in advertisements urging the general public not to patronize them so much. "Don‘t use the teleâ€" phone except for the. most necessary and vital; reasons,‘" say Bell Telephone Co. advertisements.| "After the war we will be glad to give you even an improvement over the old excellent service," one of these Bell Co. advertisements concludes.! The general public, despite its short memory is not likely to forget these things after the war is over. Another fact brought out by the survey was that housewives toâ€"Cay are worried about the difficulty of securing quality. They are finding that the brands formerly advertised so much had a special merit that warranted the publicity. Advertising simply informed the public of the quality and serâ€" vice, and the public bought the goods on this inâ€" formation. names. A few farsighted ones are following anâ€" other line. They are using newspaper advertising to explain shortages to the people, to keep the public informed in regard to markets and services, to suggest substitutes. These determined and perâ€" sistent advertisers find a hundred and one good ways to utilize acivertising space to their eventual advantage. In any event they will not be among the forgotten folks after the war. There is a very decided virtue in keeping the name of a brand or a firm constantiy before the public. cases the makers of these outstanding lines had taken up some particular branch of war work and so were not always able to keep their goods on the shelves of the stores. Because they did not have large quantities of goods for disposal, they had stopped newspiaiper advertising. "We cannot supply the demand," was their argument, " and so there is no use advemtising." It was also found that a number of retail stores were following the same false lines of reasoning. They said, "We have nothâ€" ing to sell, so why advertise!" The public memory is notoriously, short, and so there is danger of the names of former famous brands of goods being forâ€" gotten. The stores are in somewhat similar posiâ€" tion. They are all liable to wake up after the war to find thernselves forgotten men, with forgotten ESCAPING PRISONERSâ€"OFâ€"W AR One of the big e day here at Timmir the tennis tournan members of the ®F Club motored down event and it was n of the number of both the Timmins were the W.

One of the editors is quoted as thinking it was some sort of a cat. Apparently, the cats in Sudbury must have stiff fur. What must the dogs be like? It is likely, however, that most of the staff believed that the strange animal was a sort of a postâ€"election sign. One of Mussolint‘s sons told an audience on this continent what joy he felt when bombs fell on defenceless Ethiopian villages. He was surprised that people on this continent failed to appreciate the pleasure he had found in bombing towns from the air. Perhaps, Mussolinit‘s son toâ€"day will himâ€" self have a different idea about the bombs that fall from the air. Last week reports were published in the Toronto newspapers about rattlesnakes being found in diftâ€" ferent parts of Northern Ontario.
