Canada QDO Per Year PHONE 26 TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Week!ly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association Published Every Thursday by ‘GEO. LAKE, Owner and Publisher iC Timmins, Ontario, Thursday, Aug. 10, 1944 At a recent meeting of the Association of Nor-' thern Ontario Mining Municipalities, a resolution was presented calling for the appointment of new inspectors and for‘ other measures designed to afford workmen in the mines a greater mea.sure| of protection from the danger of accidents. Forâ€" tunately for the sake of fairness, the resolution was not given endorsement by the meeting. The majority of the representatives of the mining municipalities seemed to feel that they did not have the facts on which to base the proposed recommendations. It would have been a matter for great regret had such a resolution passed. It would have left a completely false impression on the public. Uhfortunately, the public does not fully realize the true situation in respect to saftety in the mines. A gentleman who is recogâ€" nized as an outstanding authority on "safety" measures told The Advance some days ago that the Hollinger and the McIntyre Mines are recogâ€" nized as two of the safest mines on the continent, and the other mines in the camp enjoy a reputaâ€" tion for safety that is almost as good as the two big leaders. For years past both the Hollinger and the McIntyre have spent time and money and effort and heart in a sincere endeavour to achieve the gréatest possible safety for all workers. There are safety inspectors, of course, but better than that has been the earnest effortâ€"very largely successfulâ€"to secure such coâ€"operation and supâ€" port from men and shift bosses alike that mine safety becomes each day more and more an estabâ€" lished fact. Some time ago The Advance pubâ€" lished facts and figures showing what the Hollingâ€" er has accomplished in the way of safety for all employees. In this issue there are refeérences to the remarkable record of the McIntyre Mine. As the McIntyre itself expresses .it, ‘"McIntyre‘s safety record is one of which mine officials and workers are justly proud." Each month there is a draw for $250.00 at the McIntyre, the money being shared among the men who had worked 75 per cent of the month, and who were in a shift group in which there had not been a single lostâ€"time accident during the month. In July of this year, as announced at the McIntyre Field Day on Monday, nineteen out of twentyâ€" two shift groups participated in the money. The three shift groups failing to qualify for a place in the money were debarred only by minor accidents. a single lostâ€"time accident. Six years and 77 days of work underground without a single accident of any impertance is claimed as a record in metal mining work. The S. MacMillan group of 40 men have the record of 92,447 continuous safe man shifts. The mill, with 70 men, has gone 846 days without lostâ€"time accident, Ten other groups have equally notable records. The indivâ€" idual records are similarly impressive. There are 84 listed as having records of over 20 years at the McIntyre without a single compensation accident, That means that not a man of that eightyâ€"four has had six days‘ losp-time through accident at the mine in twenty to thirtyâ€"three years. The list is appropriately headed by R. J. Ennis, who for 33 years has been on active duty in the mine without a single accident that called for compensation. Next on the list is F. W. Gilâ€" bert, 31 years; N. Bogdanic, 30 years; R. S. Anderâ€" son, and E. E. Everard, 29 years; D. E. Keeley, A. L. Joyner, D. Carlin, L. Boisvert, J. S. Amm, J. Dillon, 28 years; three, at 27 years; seven, at 26 years; five, at 25 years; ten, at 24 years; three at 23 years; 11 at 22 years; fifteen at 21 years; and nineteen at 20 years. Elsewhere in this issue will be found a list of McIntyre safety records. The D. Bennett group of 55 men worked 100,298 successive shifts without There are few mines anywhere that can produce records such as those quoted. Indeed, few factorâ€" ies or dther industrial concerns can produce so worthy a record in safety. Construction companies would be proud, indeed, if they could approach such safety records. It is not further inspectors or officials that‘are needed, but more of the same medicine that has cured much of the accident disease so often associated with miningâ€"more of the coâ€"operation and goodwill between bosses and men that has made these records possible. \\"-o-"' sls P BP P P P P L LA Months ago The Adavance urged careful considâ€" eration of the Caunt process of low carbonization a possible solution of the Northern Ontario lignite Problem. A dozen years, and over $800,000, have been spent in efforts to develop the lignite fields north of Cochrane. It is not unfair to sugâ€" gest that the methods followed during the years do not promise much hope of ultimate success. When the Ontario Lignite Committee visited the North recently, some of the soâ€"called experts were quoted as being doubtful the possibility of devâ€" mt it P P P AL P L L P L P l PP P P PAAA CCAE LOCAL MINES FEATURE "SAFETY" PAOGE FOUHR Cbe Yorrupine Advanee SOLUTION OF THE NORTHERN ONTARIO LIGNITE PROBLEM ult e lt PA O PA P PPA L PP oooomwmm‘ SBubscription Rates: United States: $3.00 Per Yeas eloping these lignite deposits on any desirable commercial basis. These soâ€"called experts have considerable grounds for their defeatist attitude. On the other hand it is well to bear in mind that what has been done elsewhere may be done in this North, and that a change of method may completely alter the whole outlook. Germany and other European countries have utilized ligâ€" nite deposits with great success. The Nazi method for processing lignite not only produced a very desirable form of fuel, but also provided Germany with large quantities of oil and other needed proâ€" ducts. The process for which W. A Caunt, of Burlington, Ont., holds the patent, is along similar lines to the method followed in Germany. The Caunt process provides fuel equal to American anthracite and in addition offers supplies of gas, oil and tar chemicals. Elsewhere in this issue will be found an adver-' tisement inserted by Mr. Caunt. It is headed:â€" "HMHere‘s the Solution of the Northern Ontario Lignite Problem." Step by step, Mr. Caunt in that advertisement presents his case, founded on the report of an experienced expert in lignite developâ€" ment, as submitted in 1933 in an Ontario Governâ€" ment report. In recent weeks Mr. Caunt has been at Cochrane, Timmins, Kapuskasing, Noranda and‘ Kirkland Lake. At each of these places he has been able to convince thoughtful citizens that his system is worthy of trial. Cochrane Board of Trade asked the Lignite Commission to give the Caunt process the most careful consideration. Similar suggestions have been made by individuals and organizations at Kirkland Lake and Timimins. There is a very general feeling that Mr. Caunt "has something." Boards of trade, service clubs and others should urge and continue to urge on the government the fairest and most careful conâ€" sideration and study of Mr. Caunt‘s claims. The answer, so far, is not enough. Some of the exâ€" perts are quoted as saying that the Caunt process has not been submitted for approval. Mr. Caunt claims that he has not been able to secure 0pâ€" portunity to have his plan considered. If Mr. Caunt has full grounds for his claims, he has the "solution of the Northern Ontario Lignite Probâ€" lem." The people should not be satisfied until he is given the freest and fullest opportunity to demâ€" onstrate his process. The time and money nectâ€" essary to do this will be a very small fraction of what has already been spent to accomplish so little. Apparently all sorts and conditions of people read and heed The Advanceâ€"the good Saint Swithin among them.. As everybody should know by this time, and after all the recent weather, Saint Swithin was the Saint who objected to his earthly body being moved from one place to anâ€" other. When effort was made to open his grave he called down such floods of rain that the workers had to seek shelter. They were persistent fellows, however, and tried the graveâ€"digging day â€"after day, Saint Swithin was just as persistent, and continued to flood them out day after day and night after night. After forty days and forty nights of fierce downpours, the workers gave up, with the excuse that they did not want to move the body anyway. That was before umbrellas were invented. In these modern times, a couple of men in oilskins, would have operated a steam shovel, and there would have been no legend. Still stands the motto of the King: "Put into your task whatever it may be, all the courage and purpose of which you are capable. Even in these ultra modern days there are gullâ€" ible guys who believe the old legend, and after this year they will likely be firmer in their faith than ever before. Particularly will they believe in the final clause of the old legend, that in memâ€" ory of Saint Swithin‘s powers, it has developed through the ages that when it rains on St. Swithin‘s Day it will rain‘(more or less) for forty days and forty nights. It was with the idea of showing that the legend held no longer that The Advance last week had some sarcastic reference to the matter. The Advance pointed out that therg were always rainless days, not to mention the nights, even when it poured on St. Swithin‘s Day. And see what happened! The editorial was written on Wednesday and published on Thursday. Up to that time there had been some rain on all but a couple of days from July 15th,St. Swithin‘s Day. The showers, however, were too gentle to deter the tenderest grave robber. On Wednesday, howâ€" ever, there was considerable rain, while on Thursâ€" day there was a regular St. Swithin downpour. On Friday, every bodyâ€"snatcher in the North hunted for cover. Cellars were flooded, at cost to the people and the town. Roofs leaked, and water was forced through cracks and crevices that never leaked before. Two honest workers in The Advance office had a sudden shower bath, unexpected and unwelcome, as they plodded along at the noble art of the printer. What they said can not be repeated here as this is a family newsâ€" paper. Suffice it to say that the water became steam in a moment and electric sparks flashed through the fog. Still, there is no one here so gullible as to believe in the old legend as holding toâ€"day. The glorious weather for the McIntyre Field Day on Monday proved at least that the Schumacher people have a pull with some Saint who is more powerful than the rainmaker. | GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND P LACER THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Keep your hearts proud and your resolve unshakâ€" en.

"I read the Bible every day and recomâ€" mend you to do the same," said this gallant commander of the Allied forces in Normandy when once addressing his staff.

And though the blueâ€"eyed keenâ€"faced general with his crested military bonnet. regards the Bible primarily as a religious book, he values the military lessons within its covers. He loves its clearness and simplicity of language. "I have often at the back of my mind," he once said to some of his officers, "a message from the New Testament: ‘Except ye utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how shall it be knows what is spoken?‘" Wingate Knew the Bible Before the Battle of El Alamein os the desert sands, Montgomery told the 8th Army men to pray that "the Lord mighty in battle." Monty knows that the victory." Victorious, he reminded his soldiers "to give thanks to the Lord, mghty n battle." Monty knows that the Lord is on our side against the hosts of iniquity, and never loses faith. In a report (dated April, 1944) E. K.

Chinese Gordon General Charles George Gordon, called "Chinese" Gordon, because he had been lent by Britain to train modern army for the Emperor of China, is best remembered for his heroic death, in 1882, at Khartoum, where he and his small garrison had held out for eight months against the hosts of the fanatical Mahdi. General Garnet Wolseley, who had s>rved in the Fenian Raid and led the Red River Expedition to Fort Garry in 1870, took a rescue army to the Sudan. Hechose hisald comrade in Canada, Col. Fred C. Denison of ‘Toronto, to lead £ brigade of Canadian boatmen to help the army up the rapids of the Nile. Alas, the rescue army came too late. The British world mourned Gorâ€" don, who was regarded as a Christian hero, and Tennyson, the Poet Laureate, eulogized him as a Warrior of God. Incidentally, the late A. Q. C. O‘Brien, accountant of the J. Ross Robertson Estate, treasured asilverâ€"headed swagâ€" éer stick presented to his father by Gordon, under whom he had served. Gordons high military reputation was equalled by his fame as a reâ€" ligious zealot. In Egypt he gave orders that native troops should attend mornâ€" ing and evening army prayers. "They worship the same God," he explained, "Jehovah." The morning after Gordon left London on his illâ€"fated Egyptian expedition, each member of Gladâ€" stone‘s cabinet received a copy of Dr. Samuel Clarke‘s "Scripture Promises," with Gordon‘s compliments. Gordon read his Bible constantly and marked his personal comments in the margin. After his death his sister presented the general‘s Bible to Queen Victoria, who had it set in a crystal case t,o repose at Windsor Castle. "Stonewall" Jackson General Robert E. Lee‘s righthand man early in the Civil War was "Stonewall"‘ Jackson, who has been called the American~Cromwell..A West Point graduate and a brilliant soldier, Jackson was also an earnest Christian. Before a battle he would pray for South Porcupine LIMITED 5‘;33.‘ Ont. Divine guidance. He knew his Bible well and found within its rules for war as well as for peace. He would never start a battle on Sunday without necessity. "I can march my men farâ€" ther in a week," he wrote, "marching six days a woeek and resting on â€"the seventh . . ." Once he toid a junior ofâ€" ficer that Joshua‘s battle against the Amal¢kites was a superb model for a general‘s report of a major battle. His nickname "Stonewall," was attributed to a Northern general remarking with admiration of his Southern foeman: "Just look at Jackson standing there like a stone wall!" Jackson‘s death on the field was a body blow to the South which adored him as a leader and a good man. Cromwell Asked God‘s Help Oliver â€" Cromwell, who â€" delivered Britain from thetyrannyof a Stuart king, is beyond peradventure the world‘s greatest example of the warâ€" rior, ruler and devout Christian comâ€" bined. This English squire who saved his country had surrounded himself with men who believed in his cause as spiritual call, says Evelyn Sager in the New York Sunday Times The Bible was the bond between Cromwell and his soldiers. Before the opening of a battle Cromwell would select an appropriate passage from the Scripâ€" tures and with the Bible in one hand and his sword in the other, the stern Ironside would pass down the ranks inspiring his followers, He gave to God the glory of his victories. After the hardâ€"fought battle of Dunbar in 1650, Cromwell was heard to shout above the tumult: "They run, they pun. Let God arise and His enemies be scattered." Then as the smoke of war rolled away he called us men to join in a Psalm of thanksâ€" giving.
