It is most unfortunate that incidents like the one reéferred to here should occur in dealing with returned men. It is sincerely to be hoped that this is an isolated case or one of some misâ€" understanding. The Advance, however, fears _ that this hope is only wishful thinking. . It would _ be well if the public would rouse itself to take ar active interest in the whole rehabilitation scheme. When men are dropped from the armed forces i? after several years of active service, they are _liable to be at loose ends. For years they have _ had to take orders and obey others without quesâ€" _ tion or discussion. They are not as well equipped ;j,'to guard their own interests as they were when _ they enlisted. If to discharged aimen the best that Canada can offer is a course m mucking, then _ it is high time that the people of Canada in North Grey style should show the government that this is far from the thought of the"Canadian people. All this is said without any reflection on the art of mucking. Up in this country everybody reâ€" spects the. mucker. Mucking is honest work. It has begn done by men with senior matriculation papers and by men with university degrees. There is nothing to be said justly against mucking. But few men, «indeed, with the educational standards required by the Air Force, would be expected to be content to choose mucking as a life work. ‘ The Advance would like to see that rehabilâ€" itation course in "mucking". Likely it was sugâ€" gested to â€"Premier‘:King by the same fellow who gave the Premier the idea that General McNaughâ€" ton could be elected in North Grey or any fother. honest constituency in any but one province of} Canada. In any event, that particular course was no doubt ‘the work of a humorist, with an odd! sense of humour.. No doubt it specifies the exact angle at which to hold a shovel and the exact number that science requires the mucker to spit on his hands to the hour. It may easily be that the rehabilitation racketeers have made a game of itâ€"something like golf. There would be a caddy to carry a certain number of shovelsâ€"â€" one for each type of rockâ€"with a curveâ€"handled shovel to go round the corners. It certainly is either a game for the governmentâ€"trained muckâ€" ers, or the_f govérnment is making game of the troops. ' A young man recently discharged from the Air Force, apparently.on the plea that that service is over‘thanned, told The Advance a rather asâ€" tonishing. thing, which The Advance sincerely hopes is not typical of the Government‘s attitude towards rehabilitation of the men coming from the services. He said that on his discharge he had to®*consult the rehabilitation officers as to his possible future. When He mentioned that he hafi been â€"engaged in mining prior to his enlistâ€" ment, the rehabilitation officer said:â€"*"That‘s fine We can fix you with a course. Let‘s see what we can do for you?‘ The officer then conâ€" sulted his books, or documents, or sheets, or maps, or what have you, and joyfully exclaimed:â€"‘"Here we are! . Here we are! We can give you a course in ‘"Mucking.‘" Most readers of The Advance will know what ‘"mucking" means. A great many know from experience and by the sweat of their brows and the blisters on their hands. If there are any who know as little as the rehabilitation sharks,; it may be explained that "mucking" is simply shovelling the loose rock and ore in a mine. The young airman referred to knows all about it. He had graduated past the mucking stage long before he signed up for service anyâ€" where. _ He had been shift boss and acted in other capacities in a mine. He explained patiently to the reng@bilitation officer that he did not wish to work ufiderground, and that alone should have kept the officer, had he known enough to adviss the young man, from suggesting "mucking" as a course ~ofâ€"suitable study for an ambitious fellow who hadgiven several of the best years of his life to his countiry‘s service.. When the young man proâ€" ceeded to suggest that he had served his apprentâ€" iceship a':’t": mucking, hoisting, cageâ€"tending, and that really what he had in mind was some sort of field work. The answer to that was the stateâ€" ment th@h:to take up the line suggested would require Mational qualifications such as indicatâ€" ed by a"s%enior matriculation certificate. If the courses wgred for the rehabilitation of soldiers and airmen are not applicable to those with the comparatifié’iy-i' high= ed'ucatid‘na'l'*‘requirements ‘of the Air Force, then there has been a grievous mistake made. If a course in mucking is the best the rehabilitation geezers can figure out for disâ€" charged airmen, then the outlook is poor indeed. . * â€" TIMMINS, ONTALIO fi-m Weckly Newspaper Association; Ontarieâ€" wc Newmm Aaoeuthn i hblislwd Every 'rmmdsy by GEO.

What plans are made for their rehabilitation? Will someone explain this to the public? There are some twelve thousand men in the Veteran Guards of Canada. They have given invaluable servite in guarding prisonâ€" ersâ€"ofâ€"war, looking to the security of public works and the care of essential factories and storehouses If anyone will take the trouble to study the facts of the case, it will be seen that in their main work of looking after prisonersâ€"ofâ€"war, they have done a very difficult job much betterâ€"than it has been done anywhere else by any other force. It should be remembered, also,â€"that it is not alone in the actual work that they have that the Veterans have been‘of Service.

The ayvâ€" erage age is said to be 55 years. This alone will be a seriouus handicap when the time comes to seek civil employment in a crowded labour marâ€" ket in a disorganized industrial world. In gratâ€" itude, in remembrance of service ‘rendered, the public should rouse itself to demand an ansewer to the question, "What is to be done for the Veteran Guards of Canada when the war is over?"

Anyone who deceives themselves into thinking there is any difference between nazism, fascism or communism in active practice is makifig a very serious mistake The people in Germany who were liquidated werse no more dead than those who were purged in Italy | or in Russia. «The same drastic means had to be used to attain the same results. A British Colâ€" umbia enthusiast for the C. C. F. some months ago hinted.that.â€"socialism could only be assured n Canaad®by the same plan of force. It is not necessary, however, to consider the more serious. features of the bureaucratic type of government to realize the effects of the sort of government that some people dream about. There was a homely illustration right here in Timmins of what happens when bureaucracy and governâ€" mental red tape are allowed full swing. Some scores of people here <~were fined on Tuesday for failing to have radio licenses last year. No fault is to be found with the magistrate for imâ€" posing the penalty of two dollars and costs. Under any fair system of law courts can do no more than enforce the law as it stands. It is worthy of note, however, that a number of cases were marked "adjourned till called on." These were all cases where the husband, or head of the house. was serving overseas.. It is frankly admitted, of course, that everybody should pay the radio licâ€" ense fee each year, and if they fail to do soâ€"â€" even though they may feel it an imposition and an overcharge and a graftâ€"they can expect nothâ€" ing more than a fine and costs. Governments. like individu@ts, have to collect what they think due to them, even though court actipn is necessary. But the bureaucratic touch came in the fact that several of the cases were ones in which the radio license for last year had actually been paid. It is true that the license fees were not paid when due, but they were paid before the cases were entered. What would be thought of a merchant who found it necessary to threaten suit to collect a debt, and the debtor paying up within a few days, the merchant then proceeded to enter the court case and collect penalties and costs. Of cou:ise, you say that the law would not allow the merchant to do anything like that. Of course, the law wouldn‘t under democratic government. But that is what the government did in effect on Tuesday. Tht special agent (in liquor cases the name "spotter‘"‘ is applied by the vulgar) was in town last October and lined up his cases. Several secured the licenses after his visit, some a day otr two after he was here. These cases, however. went through the same as the others. There was a $2 fine with $2.50 costsâ€"a total of $5.50. To some of the unfortunate victims the penalty was a burden for which there seems little excuse. The difference between the free democratic way of doing business and the bureaucratic system in this:â€"the business man desires to collect what is due. He thinks he does all right if he makes the collection without forcing the debtor to pay double and treble. Indeed, democratic law reâ€" stricts the business man to a very modest interest charge on overdue accounts. Let the business man attempt to charge $5.50 on a $2.50 account and see where he lands.

Those familiar with the methods of mountaineering in winter know how the leader breaks the trail through the snow by leaving footprints, into which his followers tread, step by step, greatly to the ease "Mr. Rickard pays a warm tribute to the prospector. He remarks that he alone of all the pioneer types throws open a new country to settlement and development. Unlike the fur trader who jealously guards new territory in order that the trade in peltry may not be disturbed the prospector shouts his find from the hilltops and invites all and sundry to come in and help him. The explorer, interested solely in disâ€" covery and mapping of new territory has neither the time nor the inclinaâ€" tion to seek or report on mineral ocâ€" currences. The missionary, too, pionâ€" eers in hitherto unknown regions but his objective often conflicts with comâ€" mercial development. An attractive feature of the book is the author‘s exploding of yariqus stories; and myths, from the â€"earliest days to more modern times. Mr. Rickâ€" ard, expressing a convincing regard for the prospector, obviously does not believe that discoveries were in the main accidental as the story books have told us. The runaway mulés, the stubbed toes, the lost rosagies, the digâ€" ging ants and other fortuitous meth ods of finding mines are scouted, alâ€" though Mr. Rickard admits that acciâ€" dent did in some cases enter into the picture. Sometimes gold was found when men were engaged in other work as in the building of Sutter‘s mill in California but even in that instance the fact that gold was present was esâ€" tablished by a series of physical tests which indicated the intelligence and knowledge of the people concerned. Incidentally, gold was known to exist in California long before the Sutter‘s mill incident. "Mr. Rickard ranges afar in time and space in his presentation of the romance of mining.
