will have another result. While the seriousness of the case may be exaggerated out of all sense, there is a problem. It should be remembered that the lady herself is not in need and is comfortable and happy. She has an income more than enough for her needs. It is a question whether her forâ€" cible removal from her own home would be justiâ€" fied so long as she does not run counter to any law or regulation. If she could be persuaded that in her own interests she should be moved elseâ€" where, that would be exactly what the authorities have been earnestly seeking for months. Mayor Brunette‘s suggestion that her daughter be forced to return to care for her mother does not give any solution. While it is the legal obligation for childâ€" ren to support parents in need, there is no law Getting down to gullibility, who is really the conâ€" fessed gullible? Anyone with any knowledge of Timmins and district would have to be gullible to believe that the authoritiese in Timmins would know of a case where a blind old woman was livâ€" ing in the desperate poverty and misery and dirt that the Second Front page editorial suggested, and nothing had been done about it. The whole history of this part of the North gives the direct lie to any such suggestion. Not only the Welfare Dept., but the police, the health department, the fire department, the representative of the Canaâ€" National Institute for the Blind, members of the 1.O.D.E., the Salvation Army and other bodies and groups, not to mention kind neighbour and friends, had been visiting the lady and doing all that could be done to assist. Of course conditions were not nearly so bad as pictured by the writer who made so many capitals of it all. The lady, whose age is given at 67â€"and not 72 as the capitalistic writer saysâ€"owns her own home and has a monthly pension more than double that allowed to old age pensioners. She has her own legal rights that can not be completed disrespected. The lady is not in‘ need of any monetary relief, so the relief daepartment can do no more than advise and assist quietly and unofficially and this has been done. Any fire risk in connection with the case is not sufficient to warrant any action by the fire de._ partment though the fire chief some weeks ago took up the question with the provincial fire marshal in the hope of solving the problem in that way. After investigation the health department found conditions did not warrant action on its part. Others who have sought to help in the matter have done all that they could. Is anyone so gul-‘ lible (even without capitals) as to believe that the screed writer could not have found out these facts for himself? Who so gullible as to believe that| trying to make a sensation of the matter was inl the public interests? | Only the most gullible people are likely to imaâ€" gine there was any other purpose in the perverse publicity that to throw reflections on the Chairâ€" man of the Welfare Board and on the other memâ€" bers of council and on other town authorities. Even to the slightly gullible it will appear that only commendation is due to all concerned for what they have done in this particular case. When the matter was brought up at the meeting of the town council on Monday this was quite apparent. Instead of everybody standing back and talking politics, as the Second Front Page edi. torial suggested, it was proven that the only perâ€" son who had known about the case and failed to seek a solution was the writer of the diatribe in capitals. He was the only one who appeared tc feel that "MORE TALK and LESS WORK will imâ€" prove the sitiration," to toss back his own words capitals included. It is doubtful if publicity is of much value in such a case. Some of those who have been seeking to help the lady in question feel that it Out of pure kindness of heart, The Advance would point out that for an unesteemed contemâ€" porary to admit it writes especially for gullible people is to confess its knowledge that its appeal is only to a comparatively small and not very select audience. And anyone would need to be very guillible not to suspect that long ago. A lot of people have reached the conclusion that most of the articles in that particular (or notâ€"soâ€"particular) newspaper are written ESPECIâ€" ALLY for GUILLIBLE people. With the newsâ€" paper itself putting the words in cold type and hot capitals, that seems to make it unanimous. There are slips in the best regulated and in the worst regulated institutions. For example, an utterly unesteemed contemporary had one of those Second Front page editorials, fairly bubbâ€" ling over with capital Letters. Yet despite the greatest care and caution one gem of truth did get into that column of capitalized blathering. The article, in referring to itself, actually said, capitals and all: â€""It is written ESPECIALLY for GULLIBLE people." Say mister, that isn‘t news! That‘s the truth!

LAKE, Owner and Publisher Timmins, Ont., Thursday, April 20th, 1944 Che Advaner OH, YOU GULLIBLE! Suhscrinption Rates: United States: $3.00 Per Year An oldâ€"timer of the Camp some years ago in a public address in The New Empire theatre referred to "tainted money." "What is tainted money?" he was asked. "Tainted money," he replied, "is all money that taint yours and taint mine!" On the same sort of foundation, The Advance would refer to the evils of capitalismâ€"the attempt to emphasize particular words in an editorial by the use of capital letters. It was Arthur Brisbane Walker who first started this evil form of capitalâ€" ism in the Hearst newspapers. His editorials were usually half and halfâ€"and no drink is meant, for they were hard to swallow. Somsetimes that man Walker would have practically all of an editorial except the ‘if‘s,‘ ‘but‘s‘, ‘the‘s‘ and‘the ‘and‘s‘ and ‘in‘s‘ spelled out in capital letters. The idea was to help the readers to put the emphasis where it belonged . It was an insult to the intelligence of the average man and a confession of the weakness in expression of the writer. A few United States publications followed the plan but no journal in Canada of any account adopted this procedure to reflect on the intelligence of its readers. It is true that it was followed in this Dominion by newsâ€" papers of the "Hush and "Jack Canuck" type, but even these papers eventually found it below the intelligence of their readers. s No matter how loudly you may scream a lie, it still remains as false as ever. "BLAH! BLAH!" in capital letters is just as much "Blah! Blah!" The newspaperman that can‘t write lan editorial withâ€" out the ancient and outâ€"ofâ€"cate practice of having every fifth or second word in capital letters should adopt the old_fashioned pian of swiping the ediâ€" There are two points, however, that should not be overlooked. The first is that Councillor Gladâ€" stone by preparing this notable report has comâ€" pletely disproven all the slanders peddled against him for months. He has shown his unselfish inâ€" terest, his competence and his wide grasp of afâ€" fairs. He has proven his undustry, his ability and his sincerity. The other point is this, that so comâ€" prehensive and valuable a report deserves the most careful and courteous consideration on its merits. He have accomplished something worth while.. It is not necessary to agree with him in all his conclusions or suggestions. He deserves conâ€" sideration and respect for honestly striving to do something for the town and people.

The case is an unusual one, but all concerned in it deserve thanks for their kindness and their well placed efforts, and only the very gullible will believe that the town deserves any censure or any adverse pubâ€" licity. The Advance does not believe a special welfare committee as suggested in the report would bring the ideal results expected. The Dept. of Welfare of the province,, however, endorsed this part of Councillor Gladstone‘s proposals. It is more proâ€" bable, however, that if there were an allâ€"time salaried town official to act as a sort of liaison officer between the various welfare agencies and to deal with cases that did not come within the province of any of them, much benefit would result. It will be noted that Councillor Gladstone takes occasion to speak of the excellent work being done by all the welfare agencies in town. There has been a persistent effort to give the impression that Councillor Gladstone has been criticizing some or all of these agencies. Anyone discussing the matter with Councillor Gladstone soon learned that he had only words of praise for the different welfare bodies. He thought, however, that their work might be better coâ€"ordinated in a few cases, and that there were instances where cases arose that did not belong to the particular sphere of any existing welfare agency. His idea was to find a plan for greater coâ€"operation and to provide means to deal with cases that do not fall into the scope of existing agencies. He was still more conâ€" cerned with preventative measures. iIn his report it will be found that he makes recommendations along this line. Even though his previous refer-i ences to the evils of the abuse of intoxicants brought him a shower of abuse, he has the courâ€" age to still point to the fact that better regulaâ€" tion of beverage rooms and the sale of liquor will benefit the welfare of the town. He should be prepared to be the victim of further assaults from those whose religion is booze and whose race is beer. | Elsewhere in this issue The Advance publishes the full report on Welfare Work in Timmins, as prepared by Councillor E W. Gladstone. Those who have wondered why this councillor has reâ€" ceived so much abuse and insult will wonder still more after reading the full report. In a remarkâ€" able short space of time, Councillor Gladstone has prepared just what the council asked of himâ€"a very comprehensive review of welfare work in Timmins, together with recommendations as to improvements he believes to be possible. The Adâ€" vance believes that Councillor Gladstone deserves! the sincere thanks of all for this thoughtful and earnest survey. All are urged to read the full reâ€" port carefully. It proves the sincerity and the deep concern of this councillor in problems that should be faced. ,wm“mmnm-o «t P P TLAAA L PPAAA LA oN‘ PBAAA LA L LAAA LAAA L LAAA LCA â€"AL CC CCCA â€"an s EVILS OF CAPITALISM P BP DP DPA DPAAA P "Though they haven‘t any haloes, only holes, slashed through the ear and their faces marked with tattoos and with scratch pins in their hair, Bringing back the wounded, they‘re as steady as a hearse, Using leaves to keep the rain off, they‘â€" re as gentle as a nurse Slow and «t2ady in bad places, on the awful.mountain track And the look upon their faces, make us think that Christ is black."
