1t There is, for e and experience. strated that he affairs properly it Knowing a candidate in for the public, is not in it for his election. The public titled to, a little more than sirable though they may be. In either case, the past conduct of the candidate offers one of the best answers to why he seeks elecâ€" tion. Find that, and you‘ve found some indicâ€" tion of how you should vote. As the voters are neither mindâ€"readers nor have the power of searching the candidate‘s conscience the best available guide is the past record of the man who presents himself for office. In the case of those who have already been in office, their records are readily available. Concerning those who have not previously held office, one must look to their conduct of their own business, and to the manner in which they have carried out their work in private llife. If the reasons behind each nomination were truly known we would have the best of guidance on how to cast our votes on December 14th. Not knowing the answers or rather, not being sure of them, handicaps the judgment considerably. To some, the matter of personal gain, desire for prestige or simply wanting a bit of the limeâ€" light, would prove to be part of the answer. Interâ€" est in the public welfare, keenness on some special project, or a sincere desire to serve the voters, would have a place in the answers of others. A number of Timmins‘ citizens are asking themâ€" selves that question today. It would be interestâ€" ing to know the various answers which each prosâ€" pective candidate might give. Beginning one week from next Monday Decemâ€" ber 10th, theâ€"Rehabilitation Committee, with the assistance of the service clubs, the Canadian Corps, and the many other men‘s and women‘s organizations which have representatives on the committee, will undertake a houseâ€"toâ€"house canâ€" vass in both towns with a view to determining what living space is available and how many householders are willing to help out in the preâ€" sent serious housing problem which now confronts returned service men. ‘"Why should I allow my name to be nominated for the town council?" In layman‘s language this means that people who have unused space can rent it to a veteran for a period of five months or less and if the veteran ‘is unsatisfactory he has no protection under the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. If the tenant is, however, satisfactory the landlord can continue the lease at his own discretion and, of course, then the property would come under the normal renting regulations. The short term tenancies are covered by section 13 of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board Order No. 294. This section says "T‘he landlord may reâ€" cover« possession of the accommodation in acâ€" cordance with the law of the province in which it is situated if the tenant â€"is in possession under a lease for a term certain of five months or less made on or after October 1st, 1943, provided that this clause shall only apply to the first such lease made in any period of twelve months. Canadians have insisted that this country‘s rehabilitation program should be the finest in the world, but in many cases veterans are losing the advantages of their gratuities and reâ€"establishâ€" ment credits by being forced to buy homes in exâ€" cess of normal values. Last week we reported the steps taken by the town of Val D‘Or in dealing with its housing probâ€" lem. This week we quote from the editorial colâ€" umns of the Rouynâ€"Noranda Press to show the action being taken in that centre: Government officials state that the number one rehabilitation problem is housing. Steps have been taken through Wartime Housing, the Vetâ€" erans~Land Act and National Housing Act to proâ€" vide some measure of relief, but labour conditions and shortages of materials make it a physical impossibility to provide sufficient housing to tide veterans over the winter months. The Rehabilitation Committee feels that some relief can be secured if the people will remember that the war is not over for Canada‘s veterans until they have a place in which to live, preferâ€" ably with their families. There must be a certain number of homes in these towns which are not fully occupied. One room, two rooms, three rooms would be a Godsend to, a lot of our fighting men. Sponsored by the Rouynâ€"Noranda Citizen‘s Reâ€" habilitation Committee, a campaign is to be conducted here during the next two or three weeks for the purpose of securing housing accommodaâ€" tion for veterans.

However much Britain may feel forced to take the action she has, one cannot help regretting any move that must, of necessity, force Canada to look in other directions for trade. Nations, as well as individuals, make friends where they make their money and are accordingly handicapped in mainâ€" taining relations where no business relationship is possible. The net result will be that Canadians will be forced to seek trade and business friendships elseâ€" where. Steps have already been taken in this direction. Our representatives have recently been called in from Latinâ€"American countries, given a pepâ€"talk, and told to look for increased trade from our neighbours to theâ€"south. A group of scientists have come to the rescue of Glen Chisholm, Deputyâ€"Minister of Health, who has been preaching that the youth of this genâ€" eration should not be burdened with the moral standards of past generations and taught the glifference between good and evil or right and wrong. This strange doctrine has naturally raised protests and brought demands that Gen. Chisâ€" holm should not be permitted to spread such ideas from an official position. The scientists plead that a man in office should not be prevented from expressing his personal opinions. Agreed. But a man holding Gen. Chisholm‘s opinion should not be Deputyâ€"Minister of Health in the Dominion of Canada. One export official in close touch with the sitâ€" uaton, is reported as saying the situation in Britain now amounts to an economic boycott. It is with some misgiving, therefore, that we view Britain‘s recently imposed embargo against many Canadian goods. This reaches far out into Empire countries, which means additional presâ€" sure on Canadian exporters to build British plants if they do not wish to lose access to this market, reports a recent issue of the Financal Post. India,~ EBypt, Australia, Iran, Iraq and the British West Indies are being forced to follow the United Kingdom‘s lead and refuse import licenses on many Canadian products. Even if Canadian manufacturers establish plants in Britain there is no guarantee that they will be able to take any of their profit out of the U. K. Tariff walls have a way of impeding the flow of goodwill as well as of goods themselves. Trade barriers only too often become barriers to more friendly relationships. Maj. Gen. Chisholm, who recently stated that children should not be taught to believe in Santa Claus, has been dodging brickâ€"bats in the press ever since. Here, the Orilla Packet Times tosâ€" ses one right to bullsâ€"eye: The Barrie Examiner, in a recent issue, takes up a point in the automobile workers‘ strike: ©175,000 members of the United Automobile Workers‘ Union (CIO), employed by the General Motors Corporation in the United States, are on strike because their demands of a 30 percent inâ€" crease in wages has been refused. In view of the fact that this year automobile workers were listed as the highest pizid labour in America, with an average of $55.64 a week, the strikers will not get much sympathy from the public." All of them, the public expects, will have in common the qualifications of honesty and sincereâ€" ity. All of them, of course, will have the courage of their convictions â€" or they would not be seeking election. The person who will not take office because he is afraid of criticism would certainly not have the courage necessary to stand up for what he thinks is right. The man who will not stand for criticism is, in effect, saying, ‘"Don‘t tell me if I‘m wrong." In looking over the candidates, then the wise voter will check them for knowledge, experience, and honesty of purpose. He will give full conâ€" sideration to those candidates who have previously served on council â€" their firstâ€"hand experience in town administration should not be lightly disâ€" counted. Some bring to the Council a knowledge of fâ€" nance or of accounting practice; some a knowledge of law; some a quality of good judgment built up by dealing with a large number of people and affairs. Some, being business men themselves, are qualified to help in the administration of conâ€" ditions affecting other business men. Others may have experience in dealing with matters concernâ€" ing health and education.A contractor might bring to the council his judgment in matters relating to public works. successful in directing the affairs of the public. His experience should include a iamiliarity with public opinion and an understanding of the probâ€" lems facing a representative section of the comâ€" munity.

The fact that the car owner was a returned serviceman who has recently started up in bus‘ness for himself should give the "Meanest Man" a lot of satisfaction. We wish we new his name., The wife wants to know how he got the sugar. We can th‘nk of a much pleasanter prank than the one cited above. Here‘s how it goes: British, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand governments are now neâ€" gotiating for the establishment 0of an Empire air route between Vancouver and Australia, to take over from the RAF. transport _ command which ceases operations on Sunday. As many as 1,000 German army deâ€" serters in Sweden have been found with selfâ€"inflicted wounds, as malny of the men attempt suicide rather than accept their compulsory return to Germany. Labor Minister Mitchell promised the provinces plenty of warning before Dominion wage controls and collecâ€" tive bargaining regulations are reâ€" laxed. These are expected to remain in force for another year, he states. A U.S. navy plane which disappeared with 12 persons on a flight from Seattle to Alaska is at present the obâ€" ject of a fullâ€"scale naval search party. Too much government by Order in Council is the theme of Progressiveâ€" Conservative Leader John Bracken‘s most recent attack on the Dominion government. The Montreal fire departments had their hands full early this week as seven fires blazed simultaneously in that city. Equipment was held up on one fire which delayed it in attending another. Two of the fires were laâ€" belled "serious". Russia has turned thumbs down on a U. S. suggestion that all allied forces be taken out of Iran by the first of the vear. The Chinese National:.st forces are making further progress in their efâ€" forts to occupy Manchuria and are now within a day‘s march of the chief industrial centre there. Because nine of the plan‘t:s manuâ€" facture items for the Ford Motor Company of Canada, it now appears that some of the many sympathy strikers who went back to work in 27 plants in the Windsor district, may not have steady jobs. The â€"10,000â€"odd Canadian service personnel who arrive in New York today, will require 21 special trains from Canadian Railways to complete their last stage of the journey home.

At the close of his adâ€" dress the playing of "Souvenir," by Mr. Bartlett, brought great applause, being insistently encored. Mr. Jenkin played the piano accompaniments. The construction of the violin was carefully explained, with the reasons by the speaker for the various parts and their particular shape and use. A disassembled violin was used by Mr. Bartlett in this part of his address, and after he had dealt with each part it was passed around among those present so that all had a double opportunity to understand the address. He pointed out that the first of the preésent type of violin was made in the 15th century, being perfected by Straâ€" divarius, Previous to the 15th century, there had been many stringed instruâ€" ments on the pattern of the violin, but they had not the range or quality of the modern violin. Mr. Bartlett, in an intcresting and informative way, traced the history and construction of the violin, playâ€" ing the instrument on many occasions to stress his points. In introducing the: guest speaker George Jenkin referrcd to him as a "topâ€"notch mus.cian," who was highly regarded in musical circles in Canada. The address showed how wellâ€"deserved these words were. The history and construction of the violin were explained in very effective way at the Timmins Kiwanis Club this week by the guest speaker, Mr. Edouard Bartlett, supervisor of music at the Timmins High and Vocational School.
