We are still making this luscious bar, but naturally in lesser quantities. Soon, we hope, warâ€"time restrictions will be over. If a housing shortage develops, the Government is prepared to convert Demobilized men will get priority for homes in building schemes and there will be Government assistance for those wanting to build their own homes. The Government will take the opporâ€" tunity of demobilization to recruit men and women for teaching and nursing. at 4 per cent interest charged from a year after studies have been completed. The Government expects it will have to find suitable employment for some 40 per cent of demobilized personnel and intends to provide facilitiese both to train servicemen and women for new occupation and retrain others for their former peacetime jobs. In the Civil Service where some 2,500 jobs have been kept open, military serâ€" vice will count as seniority for salary and possibly promotion. There are also reserved vacancies in the police service and with the railway and harâ€" bor stafis. Servicemen or women who have work waiting for them will be safeguarded for a year against dismissal or salary reduction. Special consideration is promised to solaiers whose service has alter their ability for their former work in clivilian life. Transportation expenses will be proâ€" vided the families of servicemen changing their homes from one town to ancther for employment reasons. Grants for Students There will be grants of up to the equivalent of $1,000 and loans of up to $5,000 interest free for five years for civil reâ€"establishment. Men or women students will be able to get grants of up to $1,000 and loans of up to $2,500, Those unable to get work at demobiâ€" lization will be kept on military strength with pay and allowances of their rank until there are suitable jobs for them. It is proposed that grants, calculated according to the number of months of service in the armed forces will be paid on the following monthly sceale: For white men, the equivalent in Canaâ€" dian funds of $5.50; for white women, $2.25; for Negroes, $1.85. The same rates will apply for all ranks and payment of the allowances will be in loan certificates as a precauâ€" tion against inflation. With civilian clothing, there will be a cash allowance of $66 both for men and women and the equivalent of full pay and allowances will be given in a lump sum instead of leave that might be due. "There are some things incapable of compensation," he said. "Patriotism is above nicely calculated monetary valuations. In the proposals now beâ€" fore the country, the Government has sought to translate into reality its conâ€" ception of its duty to these men and women." First reaction to them in the Union was good. They were regarded as generous though while outlining the proposals to the House H. G. Lawrence Welfare and Demobilization Minister, admitted that to many the ultimate Grovernment measures would not be commensurate with the sacrifices of the men in uniform. training and reâ€"employment of exâ€"serâ€" vicemen in civilian life. The proposals announced to the South African House of Assembly include a scale of monthly allowances as well as cash grants, clothing, family transportation priviâ€" leges and education arrangements. Capetownâ€"South Africa has drawn up preliminary plans for demobilization, Recently in The Advance there has been some discussion of the plans beâ€" ing made for the soldiers returning from the present war. For some time the Canadian Legion carried on an earnest campaign to have the clothing allowance on discharge increased to a more reasonable figure than obtained. Recently the allowance on discharge was raised to $65.00, which is a conâ€" siderable improvement, though perhaps it might be increased still further. In this connection it is interesting to comâ€" pare the plans made by South Africa for its soldiers with those announced here. Here is the story from South Africa as given in despatches: i South Africa Makes Plans for Soldiers After the War Valuable for Comparison with Canadian Announceâ€" ments. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Those Canadians who served in the First Great War will remember "Y"" secretaries who were with them in France when the going was tough, to provide our fighting men on every front and at every service camp. They supply them with recreation, reading material and supervise their off time activities, At London leave centres operated by the Canadian "Y" there is everything from pancakes and maple syrup to coiâ€" fee Canadian style for our young solâ€" Everyone knows something of the work of this useful institution. They know of its fine work with boys and young men,. They know of its summer camps. They know of its dormitories where thousanls of Canadians away from home last year made the "Y" their home away from home. Probably less is known of "YÂ¥" service in other countries and its work with servicemen. In 1889 associations in Canada and the United States felt an obligation towards young people of other lands and launched a World Service program. Two secretaries were sent to Asia to train Christian nationals in the principals and methods of the Y. M. C. A, Today this service is welcomed in more than 50 countries. It began in a small London bedroom on June 6th, 1844, when 23â€"year old George Williams, a draper‘s clerk, met with eleven of hig friends and planned an association where they might proâ€" fitably spend their spare time. They agreed to call it "Young Men‘s Christian Association". This year the Y. M.C. A. throughout the world celebrates the 100th anniverâ€" sary of the founding of the movement. Other centres felt the same need, The movement grew rapidly and in 1851 the first Canadian Y. M.C. A. was organized in Montreal. Today the familiar "Y" is established in 73 Canadian centres and .its members number more than 53,000. The battle against monopoly of the Mining Industry is only starting. It is time to call on all Prospectors of independent mind, all men who want to promote the welfare of this comâ€" munity by helping the Prospectors to discover and develop new mines to take an active part in having our inalienâ€" able rights restored to us. The right to. carry on our legitimate business without undue interference. One Hundred Years Old on June 6th Organization Founded by Drapers Clerk Becomes a Great Force for Good in the World. That resolution was moved and seâ€" conded, discussed, voted on and carried at the meeting of the Prospectors here on February 2nd, 1944. If that resoâ€" lution was not presented to the Mining Commission by the Officers of the Prospectors‘ Association, then indeed an explanation is required. Trusting you will find space in your valuable paper for this brief note, I remain, Yours truly, P M. Wallingford. Perhaps there was no intention of being unduly personal but is it not quite significant that Mr. McManus should refer to those men who were or had been in jail as parties who had at some time or other opposed the rulâ€" ings and regulations of the Securities Commission? Is it not doubly signifiâ€" cant that Mr. McManus should in this instance repeat the very words used by the President of the Prospectors‘ Association when opposing the resoluâ€" tion in question. This I take up as a personal matter and I wish to assure Mr. McManus that there never was and never will be any Boss influence allowed in my affairs. To the Editor of The Porcupine Advance Timmins, Ont. May 1l7th, 1944 Dear Sir: Your answer to the letter by Mr. McManus re the Prospectors‘ Association and the Securities Act coâ€" vers all points very well, excepting the reference by Mr. McManus to the inâ€" fluence of boss or bosses in comnnection with my activities and efforts on beâ€" half of Prospectors. Resolution Should Have Been Presented to Mining Commission Says F. M. Wallingford. Prospector Replies to Letter Written by Mr. Gus McManus The Government hopes to be able to discharge returned soldiers at disemâ€" barkation ipoints so they won‘t have to go through dispersal depots. military chmps near the larger cities into temporary civilian accomunodation as model townships with all modern amenities.

It means free shows, free swims and free Sunday teas. In short, as in London, it means a home away from home. diers, sailors and airmen, homesick for their mothers‘ cooking. You seem to resent my mentioning of the town of Timmins in connection with the framing of the resolution in question. Was the Sponsor of the reâ€" solution not appointed by the town of Timmins to compile a brief in the form of a resolution to be submitted to the Prospectors‘ Meeting? I have no objection to the town of Timimins or Hearst, or any other municipality doing what they can to assist in every way possible all projects of this nature, but the fact remains if the Municipal Boards are not manned with Prospecâ€" tors and Developers, they are not very. well qualified to deal with matters perâ€" taining to the industry. You further state that my cxplanaâ€" tion as to what happened to the resoâ€" lution does not seem very plausible and that no resolutions passed at other cenâ€" tres were submitted for vote here. Yoes, this very same resolution was dealt with at Noranda and Kirkland Lake according to the President, and there, was representation from Noranda at our Timmins Mecting who took part in all proceedings, and rightly so, in my opinion. i You state that most Prospectors have no objection to the Securities Comâ€" mission and then again you say that Prospectors passed the resolution askâ€" ing to have the public protected against fraud and misrepresentation by the Common Law. It does not add up. I don‘t think the Conunission would be sustained if the Act was abolished. Now, Mr. Editor, you have got me confused as to what should be done with the Securities Commission if we have the Securities Act abolished. I agree with you, Mr. Editor, that the resolution did not mention the Securities Commission, but the Sponâ€" sor of the resolution, when submitting same to the meeting, did mention the Securities Commission. When the reâ€" solution was submitted to the mecting, the President who was in the chair, drew the attention of the Sponsor to the fact that the resolution was not clear, that in some of the wording he wished to have the Act repealed or amended, and then wound up by the words, *"The public can be protected against fraud and misrepresentation by the Common Law", and the President asked the Sponsor if it was his desire that the Commission should be abolâ€" shed, and he said ‘"*Yes." Hence my reason for referring to the abolishing of the Securitiee Commission. "WHEREAS mining is one of the basic elements of Canadian progress and prosperity AND WHEREAS the Prospector is the cornerâ€"stone of the mining industry AND WHEREAS the future of the mining industry is imâ€" perilled by the recent handicapping of the Prospector BE IT RESOLVED that the Ontario Securities Act be repealed or amended in such a way that the Prospector and the Associates who grubstake the Prospector may have a free hand to finance the development of their properties in the same manâ€" ner that other enterprises are allowed to proceed, the public being protected against fraud and misrepresentation by the Common Law." I am going to attempt once more, possibly without much better success, to make myselif understood. In order to do so I am first going to take the resolution which was submitted at the meeting and which was as follows: I know, Mr. Editor, that you are championing the cause of some person other than yourself, and I think it would be only fair to all concerned to have that same person come out in the open and fight his own battle. I never like shadow boxing. don‘t profess to be a writer and for that reason I am not going to attempt to carry on an extensive press controversy with the Editor of a newsâ€" paper on this or any other subject There is an old proverb that has been impressed on my mind for years: "Never try to beat a man at his own game". I think that goes for Editors also. Dear Sir: I seem to have muddled things up considerably for you with my last article in connection with the stand taken by the Prospectors and Developâ€" ers‘ Association with respect to the securities Commission and the Securiâ€" ties Frauds Act. The Editor, Porcupine Advance, Timmins, Ont. Another Letter on the Resolution â€" re Securities Act You infer that Prospectors from Vanâ€" Prospector Feels Securities Commission Could Not Act Without Securities Act. South Porcupine, May 15, 1944 Ladiesâ€"25¢ Banquet of S. Porcupine Ladies‘ Bowling League A delicious dinner was served, after which singing etc., was in order, with Mrs. Vera Murphy and Mrs. Larry Jones at the piano. Taylor. Kirby Joyner, son of Mr. and Mrs A. L. Joyner, MciIntyre Property, had a good send off Monday evening as he left on the Northland to report to the Canadian Army at Toronto. Headed by the newly formed Cadet band, the High. School students girls and boys, attired in full uniform marched to the station and formed a guard of honour, giving their officer a good sendâ€"off. Kirby was one of the officers in comâ€" mand of the High School Cadets. Sunâ€" day evening Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Joyner, entertained in honour of their son, many of the young people attending and a nice time was cnjoyed. The Ladies Bowling League held a banquet in the Airport Hotel on May 10th to mark the end of a very sucâ€" cessful bowling season. I appreciate the interest you are takâ€" ing in this cause, Mr. Editor, and 1 would like to see more articles in your worthy press on the same subject by j Prospectors and Developers, which, I believe, would result in delegates going to those Commission Meetings better prepared to deal with matters of inâ€" terest that come up and should be dealt with intelligently. Yours very truly, Gus McManus. Mr. McManus seems to expect a reâ€" ply to the above letter, The Advance aims to please. In reference to The Advance championing the cause for some other person, that is more or less a habit. In this case The Advance is secking to help not one person, or two or a score, but, all the prospectors, who are apparently the "forgotten men" of the North, so far as the general attiâ€" tude is concerned. Mr. McManus need not worry about "shadow boxing." TIn. any sparring match with The Advance he knows The Advance well enough to expect that there will be no "shadow boxing." The Advance agrees very heartily with Mr. McManus in desirâ€" ing more publicity for the case of the prospector and the developer. That would not only help the prospector and the developer but it would help the whole country. Prospectors and develâ€" opers, however, should not be tempted to impute false motives, when attempt is made to help them with publicity, Apparently they have enough secret enemies without turning on their open friends. Mr. McManus appears to be unable to see how the Securities Fraud Act could be repealed without the Seâ€" curities Commission being abolished. It appears to be the case, however, that the government intends to repeal the Securities Frauds Act, but to retain the securities Commission. It is well to repeat the fact that Mr. Wallingford was not appointed in any way by the town of Timmins. He represented a group of prospectors and did not preâ€" tend in any way to represent anybody else. He did present a brief to the ‘ local committee, but further than this had no connection with that commitâ€" tee, and eventually was left to present the brief personally before the \Ontario Mining Commission, where he was given a very thoughtful and considerate hearâ€" ing. It would be as fair to question the good faith of Mr. McManus as that of Mr. Wallingford. The Advance believes that both of them are acting honestly and openly on their convictions.

I am of the opinion that Prespectors and Developers from any point who have money invested in Ontario, hold an Ontario Miners‘ license and are members of the Prospectors and Develâ€" opers‘ Association are just as qualified to vote on an Ontario question as any citizen in Timmins, South Porcupine, or any other centre in Ontario, A door prize was won by Mrs. Mabcel DANNY KAYE DINAH SHORE DANA ANDREWS Constance Dowling THE Goldwyn Girls Up In "THE HOUR BEFORE DAWN" TOâ€"DAY To SATURDAY Starts Sunday Midnite "Her Primitive Man" (1 50 Coming Soon T‘he Whistler" In â€" Technicolour Arms SEE HERE PRIVATE HARGROVE M.
