Timmins, Ontario Thursd There has always appeared to be a tendency to confuse Dominion and Provincial election issues. This has been especially true of this North where on occasion during a provincial election it would appear as if Dominion politics were the chief issue, while there were Dominion elections at which, to jJudge by the camp.a’igns waged, the issues were. confined to provinélal questions. With the comâ€" ing provincial and Dominion elections within a week of each other and the campaigns thus necâ€" essarily being condueted simultaneously, it may be expected that Dominion and Provincial issues may be so mixed as to be almost indistinguishable. In these elections, however, this confusion of issues is not likely to have as unfair results as in some past contests, for the attitude of the differâ€" ent parties in the two fields follow clearly defined lines. In regard to the provincial election the issues are actually so clearâ€"cut that there.â€"should be no confusion. ; What.appears to .be the need is the election: of one party with a clear majority so that the business of the province may be carried on without fear of manipulation ~by . minority groups/ Premier George A. Drew appealed'to the elector§ at the last provincial election on a defiiâ€" ite and detailed platform. In the short time he has been in office he has implemented his pledges in a way that has perhaps never before occurred in Canadian political history. During his term of office he has given the people sane, sound and progressive administration. Some of the broad planks of his platform in the last election left some people experienced in political affairs someâ€" what sceptical as to the probability of fulfillment. Two of may be mentioned as typical. One of these was the promise to relieve property holdâ€" ers of some of the heavy burden imposed on them by taxes for school purposes. Full credit for this has no,t'been given the Drew Government because of the fact that in some cases the schools themâ€" selves, and in other cases the municipglities, and in still other cases. the schools and the municipalâ€" Canada $2.00 Per Y Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontarieâ€" Quebee Newspaper Association PAGE Poun Ehe Advants GEO.

Emphasis was given to the fact that the Canadian Bankers Association refused to pay the clerk the $5,000 reward offered It is popular to cast reflection on banks and bankers because at one time or another. most people have had difficulty in getting a loan from a bank. It is very easy for anyone who has been refused $50, or a $100, or $500, or $5,000 badly needed, to convince themselves, and tell the world, that all bankers are tighter than an Aberdeen Hebrew or a Scot from Jerusalem. But every once in a while everybody should be fair. The war effort of the banks in the past five years assures something like fairness with, at the least, government interest on justice.

"" e mR mt e BV The present loan campaign is probably the most important of the loans to date. Like the other loans that have gone before it has two main feature that should be given the closest considerâ€" ation. First there is the necessity and the duty of supporting the men at the battle fronts who are fighting for the safety and the freedom of the world. It should be remembered that the battle is not yet won. Even should the resistance of the enemy collapse in Europe, there is still the Japâ€" anese evil to conquer.

But when the skies are brighter and all looks promising, then is the time to put in the little extra effort that may turn the tide to complete victory. 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. Keep your hearts proud and your resolve unshakâ€" en.

Recently he was disâ€" charged from the Air Force after five years of valuable service. The eXcuse given him for this action was that there was a surplus of men in the RCAF. It is impossible to accept this excuse in view of the fact that men on reserve in the Air Force are being recalled to service. It looks more like a contemptible trick on a man who volâ€" untesered for overseas service five years ago with the idea of pandering to the Zombies.
