Canada $2.00 Por Y PHONE 26 TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association Published Every Thursday by GFCO. LAKE, Owner and Publisher There is supposed to be a searcity of canned goods these days. ("Don‘t you know there‘s a war on?") But last week several newspapers carried on their editorial pages an article that is proféesâ€" sionally known as a "caraned editorial." This artiâ€" cle referred to an alleged tendency on the part of business men to be slischtly discourteous, or even more so. The excuse is made that there are so many anxieties and troubles these days that busiâ€" ness people are liable to become intolerant and impolite. It becomes tiresome to keep on repeatâ€" ing such phrases as:â€""You can‘t get quality these days! Don‘t you know there‘s a war on?" "There are no more of that sort of article manufactured! Don‘t you know there‘s a war on?" ‘"We can‘t tell you when you can expect delivery! Don‘t you know there‘s a war on?" "If you don‘t like the stock, you can‘t do any better elsewhere! Don‘t you know there‘s a war on?" A man with two or three sons, a couple of daughters, and half a dozen broâ€" thers, sisters, nephews and nieces and grandchildâ€" ren in the services and mad himself as all get out because he has been flatly rejected, may well be pardoned if he becomes a little irritable and imâ€" patient, and inclined to answer everything with those static words:â€""Don‘t you know there‘s a war on ?" The Advance doubts if there is much discourâ€" tesy shown in Timmins by businessmen in general. They all seem to know there‘s a war on, that most normal services are disorganized and disrupted, but they try to offset this by extra courtesy and special patience and forbearance. ‘wm“ooo «it » t o P P AP L* ’WM If there are those who have lost their tempers and their geniality because of wartime conditions and circumstances it might be well for them to reâ€" mind themselves of another questionâ€""Don‘t you know that there will be a time when the war is ended?" The general public is famous for its short memory, but it is well to bear in mind the thought that there will come a day when even a short memory may recall indifference or lack of service, and the reply will be very ready, "Don‘t you know that there is no longer a war on?" ‘"You consider prices are too high? Don‘t you know there‘s a war on ?" Perhaps a little story may make the point quite clear. A local business man sent out a humorous Christmas message last December. This Christâ€" mas greeting took the form of a letter comprising questions and answers. These questions and ansâ€" wers went about like this: "You don‘t think you are getting quality goods?‘ "Don‘t you know there‘s a war on?" ‘"You don‘t think you want any of the articles available? Say, fellow, you‘ll take what you get, and be satisfied with it? Don‘t you know there‘s a war on?" "Price, service, goods, courtesy and patience are echoes from the past. Don‘t imagine you can dicâ€" tate to business men these days? "Don‘t you know there‘s a war on?" Until the very end of the greeting there was eviâ€" dent contempt for the customer and his patronâ€" age. ‘"Don‘t you know there‘s a war on?" In the concluding paragraph of the greeting there was open scorn forâ€"the petty patronage of any customer. ‘"Don‘t you know there‘s a war on?" And then these naive words:â€""But there will come a time when the war is over, and then we‘ll be around licking your boots for an order, as usual!" As The Advance suggested before in these few kind words, business men here do not appear to have adopted that form of discourtesy. Instead, in general, they have been kindly, patient, courâ€" teous and always eager to give the best service. There is, however, one form of discourtesy of which many of them have been guilty. They have neglected advertising. They have said:â€""We haven‘t anything to advertise! Don‘t you know there‘s a war on?" As a matter of fact, they had more than ever the need for the right kind of adâ€" vertising.

Subscriftion Rate: 11 «s P e P P AP P AP P P L L P L EPA lt United States: $3.00 Per Year The highest ambition of the head of the part of a part of a party at Ottawa is to make Canada a united nationâ€"at least, united enough that there will be a majority of votes for the part of a part of a party at Ottawa, so that no one with a nice job now may lose.it, and that there may be other good political plums to be picked by the faithful in the days to come, world without end, amen. things that would have made their own way and| the customer‘s way easier to follow. They could have suggested substitutes for articles that were scarce or unavailable. There have been scores of ways in which a little judicious advertising would have helped much. Some will find it difficult to catch up on their contact with the general public when the war of conflict is followed by the war that will come when peasce arrives. "Don‘t you know there‘s a war on?" Then get ready for the peace! There appear to be two main plans at present to secure this great unity of this vast nation. The one idea is to buy a lot of votes by paying people with their own money and other people‘s money for having a lot of children. Both Hitler and Mussolini used this method with advantage to themselves. Whether this babyish plan will have the result expected remains to be seen. There is The second plan for unity may be set down as a humdinger. Already it appears to have unitâ€" ed every member of parliament, irrespective of racé, colour or offâ€"colour, creed, occupation or anâ€" tecedents into one harmonious wholeâ€"and the people, as usual will be in the hole. The proposal is to pay every member of the Dominion parliament an extra $1,500 per year, tax free, for living in a place like Ottawa, part of the year. Everybody else has had their salaries frozen, but it is not likely that the Wartime Prices and Trade Board will stop this proposed salary raise. The Board might prejudice its own salaries and jobs by any interfering in a case like this. In this suggestion to raise their own salaries the members of the Doâ€" minion government will reach a degree of unaniâ€" mity unparalleléd in the history of Canada. It is doubtful, however, if the people in general, who have to pay the shot, between buying Victory Bonds, will find any unity in the idea of paying $1,500 a year, tax free, to the members of parliaâ€" ment. â€"It may be true that it is worth that much extra to live in Ottawa, but all the members were anxious enough to geti the job when the pay was only a paltry $4,000.00 per year. Maybe people would battle to get any or every other job if they had the chance to raise their own pay when they felt like it. The argument used to advocate the raise in pay for members of parliament is that with all the calls upon them, the members are hard pressed to make ends meet. They have exâ€" cessive charges to meet for board and room in Ottawa, taxation takes so large a share of the salary at present that the small balance is so tiny that it does not represent a good living. The same argument might be used with just as much warâ€" rant in regard to the salary of the average Canaâ€" "' tPBPAA DLA LAAA â€"Aâ€"AG â€"ACâ€"AAâ€"Câ€"ACâ€"A â€"Aâ€"A â€"A CAAA L LAAA CAE â€"Lâ€"AL AL C Pm a possibility that as a unifier it may develop into a flop. It may ‘actually unite some pxovmces against some others. dian. Members of the Dominion parliament get more than twice as much as the average man in this profitable and prosperous mining camp. The burden on members of parliament is exactly the same as faces the vast majority of people on salary. It would have been a glorious thing if the trouble endured by the members of parliament had imâ€" pelled them to seek a general solution. Instead, their united remedy is to propose to raise their own salaries, a plan that will make it all the harâ€" der for the common man. This will not make for unity, except in so far as it will mean the uniting of a whole lot of other men to see if they cannot slip into parliament where pay is not frozen, but is rather hot. ‘w‘o'nomooo'mw’o P PP PP «it P mt P AP PA C P P BP AL "’"“""’"c”"“"""‘ The St. Thomas Times Journal and The Peterâ€" borough Examiner are having an editorial discusâ€" sion as to the desirability of wearing corsets. The corset is officially described as an article of dress worn to support or give shape to the figure. It is not clear to The Advance whether either or both these small city newspapers are advocating corsets for both male and female figures or simply for circulation figures. In some cases the latter need more support than has yet been given. Indeed, some circulation claims suggest the use of that form of corset known as the straitâ€"jacket. There is a proverb to the effect that figures never lie, but that refers only to uncorseted figures. A certain or uncertain Toronto newspaper tries to slip into the corset discussion by the underwear suggestion that the St. Thomas and Peterborough newspapers are having a fight and that the deciâ€" sion will go to the paper with the best staying power, while the other will get a good lacing. This seems to be a typical bonerâ€"perhaps aâ€" whaleâ€" boner. It may actually tempt the more truly modern Globe and Mail to steal into the battle with the retort that it takes a lot of neck to bust into such a contest and that no certain or uncerâ€" tain newspaper can breast the waves when the tide rises. Before the two Toronto newspapers adjust their respective corsets, the certain or unâ€" certain one will be reaching for a suit. The bustle of the one will cut quite a figure. Before the certain or uncertain newspaper gets dressed up,. it gots dressed down by The Barrie SA LV AC X ING WAISTS THPT pPoRCUPTNT AaDVaAnNcCt, ontafto It is stated that, while the province has now decided to wipe out the debt‘s |so far as the municipalities are conâ€" | cernedâ€"Haileybury has some money on ‘hand and Bucke, Reeve Fenton said, will ‘ make a of $2,000 this year the relations between the municipalities and the house owners will not necessarily be adjusted similarly. In the case of \Haileybury, refinancing of debentures is involved in the matter, it is underâ€" stood, and some definite word is exâ€" | pected there shortly. The original \ loans were arranged through J. A. Ellis, ‘at the time chairman of the old Onâ€" tario Railway and Municipal Boeard and \in charge of housing schemes. In the municipalities, the affairs wrre adâ€" ‘ministered by Housing Commissions. Haileybury and Bucke Given Relief in Debt Problems Haileybury, May 24, â€"As the outcome of an announcement made by the Hon. George H. Dunbar recen‘tly in New Liskeard on housing loans indebtedâ€" ness, the town of Haileybury and the adjoining township of Bucke stand to be forgiven rather better than a quarter of a million dollars outstanding against them on the books of the provincial treasury, according to figures available on the subject. The Minister of Muniâ€" cipal Affairs, in an address to the South Temiskaming Municipal Assoâ€" ciation, said the Ontario Government would take accumulated funds on hand, but would cancel the debt otherwise one hundred per cent, H. G. Wells, a writer who has received a lot of publicity for saying unusual things, has just got into the limelight again by urging that there should be no hanging of Hitler after the war is won. Mr. Wells argues that to hang Hitler would be to make a martyr of him. The average, thoughtful man will care little whether anybody considers Ontario Government to Wipe Out Housing Plan Debt to Province. Repayment of the loans had become a problem for both municipalities with the passing of the years and changing conditions due, in part, it is contended, to the decline of the Cobalt mining camp, the depression period: and, for North Cobalt as part of Bucke townâ€" ship, the closing down of the Nipissâ€" ing Central Railway over nine years ago. In Haileybury, where about $24,000 annually was required to meet principal and interest, contracts beâ€" tween the municipality and the house owners, were reâ€"written several years ago; Bucke township recently made an offer of $2000 annually for ten years in settlement of all obligations. â€" Four thousand dollars has been paid there in the last two vears, it is said. Reeve Thomas Fenton Of Bucke township has bsen active in seeking to have a settlement made of the proâ€" blem and has been in nego‘iation with the provincial authorities on different occasions, the last being an interview with Mr. Dunbar in November, 1943, The loans were to run for twenty years and bear interest at five percent and, mnder the agreement madt, borrowers undertook to erect buildings of cerâ€" tain standard. In the interval, it is reported many of the original borrowers have left the dlsuf;ct and payments to the Government/’became somewhat in arrears with both municipalities. There was a time when it would be considered very poor form for mere males to attempt to deâ€" prive the ladies of their corsets. But times have changed since Hannah died. There was a time when the average man would have a fit at the thought of a sissy wearing a corset. But the moâ€" dern woman is accused with some colour of right, of having stolen men‘s trousers. Perhaps, it is only envy, for they do fill some situations better than men. Both Haileybury and Bucke ccuncils borrowed from the provincial anthoriâ€" ties after the fire disaster of October 1922 and it is sta‘ted that the former got approximately $300,000 for just over 100 houses, and Bucke $50,000. At preâ€" sent, and due chiefly to compound inâ€" terest charges piling up, it is indicated, Bucke is in the red to the extent of $63,000 after a payment scheduled for this year under a recent agreement is made, whilse Haileybury, it is reported, would still be a deb‘or to the extent of, approximately two hundred thouâ€" sand dollars, after funds on hand are turned over to the Government at @Queen‘s Park.

Which should remind all that in cases like this, whatever girdling The Globe may ao, The Male should look the other way. Examiner. An examiner is to be expected at any display of corsets. The Barrie one denies that: there is any fight about corsets, but just an arguâ€" ment about streamlining confined within the wellâ€" rounded limits of good form. With a hip, hip, hurrah! (just two hips and one hurrah) The Renfrew Mercury rounds out the figure of speech by the hope that the argument will not girdle The Globe. Which should remind Hitler a martyr or not so long as he is a dead one. Men like Hitler should be adequately punished for their crimes, and nothing less than a dishonourâ€" able death seems to fit the bill. The fate of Hitâ€" ler should be left to the judgment of the men who tried to avoid the present war not those who talk about avoiding a future war. If those responsible for this war are properly dealt with, there will be less danger of future wars.
