_ Speaking of that 84 degrees above zero recorded on the fire hall thermometer, some of the firemen ‘are a little nervous in the matter. They are aâ€" ., fraid that.in some special circular or other Donald _ Gordon may have put a ceiling on the weather __and there, may be a penalty for 84 above. Of course, it is not inflation, and it‘s certainly not _ deflation but it â€" may be a breach of the > regulations some way or another. It won‘t be any _ use arguing that the weather is beyond con‘trol. _If 34 is=above the ceiling, then the firemen are _ in for it. Itâ€" may easily be that the Wartime .

"This is not the time for a provincial election," echoes Mr. Joliffe. With a few blanketty blanks, Hon. Mr. Hepburn adds his humble protest against an election at ~this time. All three suggest that it is the wicked Drew and his party that are responsible for the _ ealling of an election. These gentlemen surely _ must credit the public with no memory and less judgment. Premier Drew has done all that any ‘ honest man could do to get along without an elecâ€" . tion. In the first place he has given excellent admimstration to the .province. He has redeemed his election promises in‘a way that has never . before been equalled by any other leader or party m ‘Ontario. And all this has been accomplished mhout namssary noise or fury.

Mitchell Hepburn and his new allies, the‘C.C. F. and the Communâ€" ists. "With this kind. of weather â€"poor Mitch hasn‘t a ghost of a chance," he says, "for it will have to be a mighty cold day when Hepburn. wil} get back into office again in Ontario." The oftfb’st inhabitant of this young man‘s countâ€" ry does not pretend to remember any other year when tlgere was such wonderful summer weather in the mad month of March. Indeed, oldâ€"timers, with the gynicism bred by weather in this North, are inclined to think that there was never any better sumimer weather in this North in any month ttha,n that enjoyed during the past couple of weeks. For several days one localâ€" man in reâ€" ferring to the weather, kept mentioning the story of the ggnt}eman who saw a rhinoceros for the first time.+: The gentleman kept looking at the beast and then shook his head and said:â€"*"There ain‘t no. spch animal." This was a polite Northâ€" ern method of suggesting that this sort of weather in March was not real. In any event there are no precedents for it in the history of Timmins. When the thermometer at the fire hall registered 84 degrees above on Monday afternoon, the local man thawed out enough to admit it might be true‘ but still fears that there will be terrible revenge for this upsetting of tradition. Summer weather for the last two weeks of March sets a new standard for the North. ‘The wiseâ€"cracker who tells you that he can remember the year when summer was on the third of July, henceforth can be sgu@lched by the;retort that in 1945 there were two: Weeks of summer in the latter part of March. "~â€" , It is well, however, even ‘inâ€" the matter of the weather to look an ,the bright side ofâ€" things. That should not be dxffecult these : days when there seems to be nothing but.a sunny side to see. Beâ€" tween the good news from. the war fronts and the glorious weather, everybody seems to have .cheered up in remarkable . way. There have been people who have almost made a business of going around | saying:â€""Isn‘ t this wonderful weather for this time of year?"‘ One local man gréeted by a friend with that remark about: the remarkable weather solemnly took his friefd aside <and said to him in most impressive way; "Say, dont you know there‘s a war on?" ' â€" The people of Ontario are naturally. annoyed because an election has been forced upon this provâ€" ince at this time. Few like the idea of the cost and disturbances of an election at this time. But there are some amusing features in the case. At the moment the C. C. F. leaders and leader Mitchâ€" ell Hepburn and the Communists who have led these other leaders around by their noses are now making the welkin ring with their cries against an election at this time. ‘"There shouldn‘t be an election at this time," says Mr. Mcheod who leads the Labour Progressives, who haven‘t progressed . THEY STUCK OUT THEIR NECKS | iministration. ‘Without regard for the inâ€" â€"of the province, the three opposition leadâ€" c £*. TIMMINS, ONTARIO Throne could only be construced as a vote of want of confidence in the government. In other words if the three opposition parties ganged up, as they did gang up, then they were in effect demandâ€" Ing an election. With all this warning, they delibâ€" erately proceeded to vote in such a way that there could be no other reply than another provincial !electlon. There are numbers of members of the C. r . C._F. and the Liberal party ofâ€" Ontario who have their ears to the ground in matters political. To these ears there came notice in unmistakable tones that the people of the province were much averse to an unnecessary election. The < three oppositions now find they have made a serious mistake, and so they are seeking to lay the blame elsewhere than on their own shoulders. They are scoring Premier Drew for calling an election. The public should know enough to see through this simple game. â€" It has been apparent to all that the Drew government does not favour an election at this time. The three leaders, however, , by ganging up on ‘the government, made an election inevitable. They know this. ‘ The public know it. But still they have the effrontâ€" ary to try out their cries about an unnecessary election. They have made their bed but they do not want to lie in it.. They are ready to lie all right, but they are trying to blame the bad bed on others,. It is not likely that the game will work. Already a number of Liberal newspapers haye protested against the matter, laying the blame fairly on the unholy alliance between the Fascists, the Pinks and the Reds. ~Vice is a monster of so frightful mien, As to be hated needs but to be seen, Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace. Thus wrote Alexander Pope over two hundréd years ago. The thought in these lines was paraâ€" phrased into prose by a lad at Mount Forest high school some years agoâ€""You can get used to anyâ€" thing, and even get to like it after a while." That translation will do for the purpose of this editorial. Did you to note how a great many people these days are getting so used to regimâ€" entation that they even appear to like it. Much of this regimentation is necessary on acount of war conditions, but the fact is that a great deal of it is not imperative but has come from the fact that the necessary regimentation breeds bureauâ€" cracy and the bureaucrats find other lines to gratâ€" ify their dispositions. The public acquiescence _in alLthis unnecessary regimentation is simply apâ€" pa‘lIing There is grave danger that all the liberty for which our fathers fought ‘and died and our sons toâ€"day are fighting and dying may be lost on the home‘front through complacency. Busâ€" inessmen have become so accustomed and hardâ€" ened to regimentation and bureaucracy that some of .t.hem even spggested that some of the. undue interference might well be continued after the war. Of course, part of that spirit may be due to attempt to curry favour with the bureaucrats who have so much power at the moment. The greater part of this tendency, however, is due to complacency. and lack of appreciation of the fact that freedom can only be maintained through the most zealous vigilance. No one disputes the fact that the emergency of the war does require some sacrifice of liberty.= This sacrifice is gladly made by all loyal people, but there should be the greatâ€" est watchfulness that the liberty that has to be suspended for the moment should not be used be noted that the people of Britain who have submitted with the sincerest grace to all necessary restrictions, have at the same time refused to allow unnecessary interference with their rights. This has been possible in Britain because parliaâ€" mentary government still obtains there. The people of the Old Land maintained that parliaâ€" mentary governmént'as an essential. The result has been that they have given more in every way to the war effort than most other peoples yet have maintained intact the essence of their liberty. Even without elections the people of Britain have mainâ€" tained a close check on parliament, while parliaâ€" mont, and not a few selfâ€"chosen people, have called the tune, to make the point clear, it is only necessary to ask the question:â€"‘"Would it have been possible for the government of Great Britain to have scorned the expressed will of the people for years, as in the Canadian case of the plebiscite on conscription?" A great many people are looking for an early ending of the war. The end of the war, of course, will mean an early return of .the soldiers from overseas. Would it not be well to straighten out the home front before that return? Or will the folks at home admit to the lads who fought for liberty overseas that while they risked life for that cause, the home front ‘army sold out, or gave away, or allowed to be stolen under their very eyes, the very liberty for which so many have made the supreme sacrifice. An illustration of how bureaucracy works was given couple of weeks ago at police court here. The bureaucrats in charge of the collection of radio licenses showed the true spirit of the burâ€" eaucrats. An inspector visited Timmins last Ocâ€" tober and found a number who had radios but no as a cover for the theft of freedom in general. It was under such covers that Germany and Italy and other lands fell under dictatorship. It will [ q1 se bn made it difficult, indeed, for the busmess license for the year.

To anyone but a bureauâ€" mth God‘s help we shall not fail t crat that would have been the end of the matter, but that is not the way of bureaucrats. It would seem that when the licenses are actually bought that is the purpose aimed it.. But to the bureauâ€" craticâ€"minded that is not the idea at all. The idea in to enforce the rules and regulations, to collect penalties, to show the power that the burâ€" eaucratic possess. Those who bought the radio licenses in October were hailed to court in Febâ€" ruary and fined. The only public protest against this disgusting example of bureaucracy came from The Advance. The illustration may seem like a small affair to make a big issue, but it is the spirit behind it all that should stir all to attentionâ€"â€" the spirit that looks on people in general as careâ€" less and even in need of penalty from the superior beings who have enough political drag to get a bureaucratic job. Under free democracy inspectâ€" ors are but the servants of the people and should treat their customers with the same, or greater, courtesy than is shown. in ordinary business. These little exhibitions of petty power and tyranny surely indicate what would happen to the people in general should everything be turned over to the petty bureaucrats. Is it not time for allâ€"in jusâ€" tice to those serving overseasâ€"to wake to the imâ€" plications of the attempt to fasten on this land the very have caused such death and havoc overseas.

Mary Funeral Yesterday of Late G. W. Lamo There has been a general demand from rural sections for a return to honest time. The government, however, says the soâ€"called daylight saving time is to continue as there is need for power conservation and also the United States isâ€" continuing on the soâ€"called daylight saving time. Whatever may be the case in other parts of Canada there has been no saving of daylight here through the changing of the clocks. This is particularly true of the winter time.when extra electric light has to be used in the mornings. A local man on a lotal committee says:â€"‘"It seems I waste hours keeping minutes." \ A Labour member of the British House of Comâ€" mons interupted a debate to say:â€""One soldier‘s life is more valuable than days of talk in parliaâ€" ment, and we have to stop shooting first and talk afterwards." The remark sounds more or less impressive, but is one of those things that are difficult to answer when they have ho real applicâ€" ation to the situation under discussion. No one denies the superior value 0of a soldier‘s life to a politician‘s talk, but there are occasions when such expressions are without point and sense. Prime Minister Churchill, however, had his anâ€" swer ready. It meant as much or as little as the Labour member‘s cliche. "That sounds very good," repliéd Mr. Churchill, "I like it very much."
