Perhaps the first thing to be mentioned in any discussion of a Timmins community centre is that a centre similar to that proposed already exists in the McIntyre Community Centre, about a mile or so away. Is this centre already serving Timâ€" mins, or is it too far away, too overcrowded? Does the McIntyre centre pay its way? Will a similar centre in Timmins pay for its maintenance and depreciation, or is the public willing to make up possible deficits from taxes? Is the price too high or too low. Are adequate facilities for bowling, skating, etc., available in any other way? Are there other forms of public works which are more urgently needed? Are materials, equipment and manpower available to build a community centre? If the community centre is built, will its cost prohibit expenditureés on other â€"projects which later may be judged equally necessary? These are questions which property owners, the people who will be expected to pay the necessary $500,000.00,. should ‘be prepared. to answer when the byâ€"law is voted â€"upon in December These are questions which every prospective member of the Timmins town council must be prepared to diseuss, upon which press comment may serve a useful purpose.. And when, after offering such approval, such an editor suddenly decides, near election time, to urge his readers to nominate an entirely new set of names for the town council, one is inclined to wonder what value can be attached to such delayâ€" ed criticism and what interests (or whose interâ€" ests) it serves. Taking a dose of our own medicine, it is noted that now is the time to comment upon the proâ€" posed byâ€"law to purchase a site and erect a comâ€" munity centre in T‘immins. Criticizing a member of the Timmins town council, or, for that mat ter a member of any elected body, is anybody‘s game. . We have all done it in the past. So long as we l;fze a demoâ€" cratic system of government, we shall all do it in the future. It is one of our prized privileges. Like all privileges, it can be abused. It is oftenâ€"abused when we forget that no memâ€" ber ‘of any elected body became such solely on his own vote. ‘The members of the Timmins town council are in office because you, and a lot of other people in Timmins,.put them.there. Any criticism of the council becomes in effect a criticism of the electors. . In fact if a newspaper editor is really anxious to serve his readers, he will make a sincere atâ€" tempt to offer comment on all actions of elected bodies, as and when such actions occur. In this way he can point out what he considers mistakes as they happen. In this way his criticism may be of some value. Criticism which comes during a discussion may be of some use. When it is delayed until the discussion has ended, and until after action has been taken, it can not be of much help, nor can it be said to merit much attention. When, however, a newspaper editor sits placidly by and offers no criticism of the actions of elected bodies, it may be understood that he has no critâ€" icism to offer, and that such actions have his approval. ‘For the average voter, the best time for critâ€" icism comes at election time. At that time the voter can look over the record and show his apâ€" proval or disapproval of his representatives on his ballot. [ Writers in general, and newspaper editors in particular differ from other voters. Perhaps you‘ve noticed that. For, while such persons have Oonly one vote apiece, they don‘t have to wait until election day to do their criticizing. They have a chance to type out some discouraging words almost every day of the year. Kiwanians Meet At Airport Hotel Timmins, Ontario, Thursday, Nov. 15, 1945 Guest speaker at the Kiwanis Ciub dinner at the Airport Hotel on Monâ€" day was Mr. Howard Beattie, Director of ‘Guidance‘ for the Ontario Departâ€" ment of Education. .

Staâ€" tistics given by him of the number of school ~pupils who goa on to higher learning were: of 100 public school pupils, 62 reach entrarce to high school; 12 graduate, and 5 go cn to University. The whole object of the plan is to guide young people into the proper spheres in which they will live and work to the greatest of their capacity, the speaker stated. The schools job is to find out, and "History marks each succeeding stage of the world‘s development by the most significant fact connected with that period. Thus we refer to the Glacial Age, the Neolithic Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Steam Age, the Electric Age, the Air Age, and now we are told with profound misâ€" givings that we have entered the Atomic Age. "The inescapable truth is that victory has given us no real sense of security. Above the wideâ€" spread clamour of domestic disputes and fratâ€" ricidal strife looms the ominous spectre of that new and dreadful power with which the United Nations brought the war to such a sudden and dramatic end. People are asking each other in all earnestness whether the discovery of atomic energy may not lead inevitably to the destruction of our civilization. "The question of whether man will destroy civilized society or benefit very greatly as a result of his discovery of the most carefully guardâ€" ed secret of nature will depend very largely upon the energy and sense of urgency with which our great educational institutions tackle the job of teaching young men and women the smence of human relationships. "In each succeeding period civilization, with all its tribulations, has moved steadily upward. It will still do so if the next phase of human deâ€" velopment can be called with truth the Age of reason. ; : "Aristotle was once asked how much educated men were superior to those who were uneducated. "As much * said he, "as the living are to the dead." ‘"How true that is today but with what a new and terrible meaning! Either we educate ourâ€" selves, truly educate ourselves, or die. By great and prolonged scientific effort man; has. ledrned how to destroy human: life on a scale and in a manner never dreamed of in the past. But man is also capable of rising to new and unimagined peaks of peaceful accomplishment if the â€"same sustained and concentrated effort is applied to the science of human relatonships. spread over a period of years, it would be well to study the eflect of such cost on the present millâ€"rate. Timmins, we ‘believe, isâ€" growing,â€" and| will continue to grow. Among its growing pains will be the need for new sewers, sidewalks and roads. If we build a community centre, will we .om 11. ewm almast a have the funds to tmance such growth?

President Roosevelt indicated, the only way in which the latest discoveries of material scitnce can be made safe for humanity. The day before he died and still four months before the first atomic bomb at Hiroshima stunned the thoughts and conscience of all mankind, he wrote these words : "It is not enough however that man be taught merely to recognize the dangers we face and turn to the study of the science of human relationships. In that field of science they must achieve collectâ€" ive results of material science.: To do that they must carry their study and understanding forward into the arena of practical politics where in . the end the destiny of every nation is finally deterâ€" mined. "If civilization is to survive, the greatest need throughout the world today is that our youth be taught the underlying principles of democratic government based upon true freedom, reasoned justice and good will. "In that short statement one of our greatest political leaders of all time expressed a simple truth which is of‘paramount importance to everyâ€" one. The very survival of our civilization depends upon the extent to which the great seats of learnâ€" ing everywhere can foster and spread a general understanding of the science of human relationâ€" ships. Education has now assumed â€"new and very grave responsibilities. It must match material science with science of another kind. "That is the urgent and compelling challenge to all who are devoting their lives to the cause of education. Upon this and similar institutions throughout the world rests, in a very large degree the fate of humanity." ' Om Friday, George Drew, premier of Ontario, received the degree of Doctor of Laws from the Tiversity of Toronto. What he had to say on that occasion was about as well said as anything that has come our way for some time. We believe that both Liberals and Conservatives will agree that the following extracts from Premier Drew‘s speech come as near the truth as any man may come: "Today we are faced with the preâ€"eminéent fact that, if civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships â€" the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together and work togéether in the same world, at peace." away at the Queen Alexandra Saniâ€" torium in London, Ontario on Sunâ€" day, were held toâ€"day at 4 p.m.â€" 5 The deceased was born in Cornwall, England, 59 years ago and came, to this country in 1913, taking up rsn-‘ ‘dence in Cobalt until the year 1922 when the family came to Timmins. 4‘ Guests present weére Mr. Bob Mcâ€" Donald, Mr. Charles Goodwood, and Mr. C.
