The byâ€"law is necessary. I ideas about Timmins in its early days. should have been passed by the town council some ten years ago Accordingly, it may be interesting to when it was first thought of. But like many other things it was c.â€"nsider what the pioneer thought, in shelved until a council was elected which thought the whole matâ€" :fifg;; 1920, of the Town of T:mmins ter important enough to bring up. _ _ How could the pioneers of the carly #% oA c us h. .hh . MEB Negotiations have been going on for two years now and from the look of things at the Monday meeting of the Planning Board and the members of the Municipal Board of Ontario the byâ€"law may be held up for a while yet for recommendations to become part of the byâ€"law. J. P. Bartleman proved most brightâ€"eyed and alert Monday mornâ€" ing finding many loopholes in the byâ€"law and even a period missing. His services to the community were excellent though, as no one eise had seen any of the points which his eagle eye had spotted. ""_I;Wo years :ago Mr. Bartleman was against such a byâ€"law but today he is all for it â€"â€" with certain reservations and recommendations of course. Much of the misunderstanding which has arisen over the byâ€"law stems from some of the small points in the byâ€"law. One of the most outstanding of them being the point which says: that original owner of a business may not start up again if the business has closed for a period exceeding six months. That is to protect the rest of the inhabitants of the district from having empty buildings and junk piled up in unused buildings. In the north end of the town near Empire and Hart Streets where there is a great deal of rocky land the town has put this area down as green belt or agricultural land. The residents in this area quite understandably blew a fuse. A petition was signed by the resiâ€" dents of this district and they protested heartily the idea that sheep goats or cows could be raised there. They even resented chickens, rabbits and dogs. The petition was accepted by the meeting and they were assured that something would be done to outlaw the offending animals. Another group their property which was in a designated "green belt‘" to be classified as No. 1 residential property. This the town refuses to do as they feel that the taxâ€"payers shouldn‘t have to pay for the expensive laying of sewer mains, etec. It is the first time we have heard of the town wishing to save the taxpayer‘s monâ€" ey.. Why this sudden economy wave? The results of the zoning byâ€"law will be many but one of the most important will be to see that future homes will be spaced properly and the town will be planned. Many feel that it is utterly unnecâ€" essary as this is a mining town and will not be worrying about zon ing for very long. "The town has had its best days," declare some. To this we can just reply i nthe words of Jimmy Bartleman. ‘"We don‘t know what the future of the town will be. No one would have thought ten years ago that the town would grow like it did." Rabbi Fienberg in Holy Blossom Synogogue, Toornto, said that Israel would be held accountable for the death of Count Folke Burnadotte. We cannot see how this can be done entirely. Isâ€" rael is still in a state of unrest and although the leaders of the state have come out against the Stern gang and their "assasins" Israel as a state should not be made to suffer. Town planning and zoning is not something new. It is necesâ€" sary and has always proved to be helpful to the town which followed this policy. as a state snouid not Dbe made to suIler. We feel that as Canada has not yet recognized Israel as a state, very little should be said in Canada about making Israel responsible. If she is not a recognized state we cannot make the leaders of that state responsible for actions over which they definitely had no conâ€" trol. The Stern gang believed that the whole of Palestine should be a Jewish state and they believed that logically as well as emoâ€" tionally. . There are many British and Canadians who also believe that but they hadn‘t the same feelmgs in the matter as those on the scene.

The Count was doing a job which he probably understood was fraught with danger and was elected by the United Nations to carry out this job. It is up to the U.N. to see that justice is done. The Count had no more to do with the decisions of the U.N. than Harry Truman had. The U.N. decided on the partition and where. He only carried out what orders he got and tried to be the man on the scene to placate the two opposing forces.

Oldâ€"timers citen speak their thoughts the ¢gpresent town of Tmmins. And scmuimes they tell what they think of the Timmiss in the days when the Porcupings was young. Newurâ€"comers also have their views How could the pioneers of the ecarly see ahead thirty4 ive years? Well, anyâ€" way, thsy could, and they did! Unlike Topsy, Timmins didn‘t "jest grcw!" It was bui.t on the solid rocks of venture, enterprise, purpose, confidâ€" ence and faith! To suggest that the president, dirâ€" ectors and management o¢f the Holâ€" linger Mine did not see something of the Timmins of the future is to make inference glaringly false on its face. The Hollinger built a hotel here suitâ€" able for a town of 10,000 when the populat on was only a few hundreds. The Hollinger built a rink, an athletic field, and scores of houses at a time when only thought of the future could justify these things. Surely, it is absurd to imagine that J. P. McLaughlin, for example, had so visicn of the days to come when he built a large, modern, handsome, wellâ€" appointed store in the centre of a small clearing in the virgin bush! The case of J. P. MclLaughlin is mentioned beâ€" cause it was the most ambit‘ous comâ€" mercial venture of the opening days of Timmins, but before his building was completed a score of other smaller structures were either ready or well under way to evidence the faith of a score of other picneers. Another pioneer who seemed to see far into the future was J. W. Reed, who built the first brick ‘block is town. Was the public school board blind to the , uture when they built a school to accomodate 320 pupils at a time when there were only 80 children on the roll? Was there no vis‘on when the sepatrâ€" ate school board, under similar condiâ€" tions, erected the large brick schoolâ€" house at the corner of Spruce street and‘ Sixth avenue? In the early days there was never a council meeting never a session of the board of trade, and never a banguet, without someone speaking of the Timâ€" mis of the future. And Timmins was famous for the number of its council mectings, board of trade sessions and its ‘banguets. As a matter of fact, in the early days every question before the town ccuncil seemed to bring up the matter of the days to come, The outside world never forgot to remind Timmins Cost Alarm Builders With building costs up 5% to 8% since January, and 125% over the 1935â€" 39 level, the industry has sounded a new alarm, reports The Financial Post.

He pointed out that the "surface hasn‘t been scrat,cheg yet‘" in regard to the gold of the Porcupine, and in addition the country had an important lumber and other forest products industry. Also there was farming to be considered. "The farm land hereabouts," said Councillor Pierce :‘is as good as around Cochrase. All that is needed is development!" Certainly, there were prophéets at the board of trade sessions! No one can recall the words of D. Ostrosser, T. F. King, F. C. H; Simms, ©C. G. Williams, George Preston, Matt. Boiâ€" vin, D. Laprairie and a host of others without admitting that they had visâ€" ions of the Timmins of toâ€"day. And Dan. O‘Connor, of Connaught, who for many years was an active member of the Timmins board of trade, had a vision not only o‘ a great Tmmins, but also of a mighty North Land. It may be added that what ws true of Timmins was equally of the men of the Township of Tisdale is something to remember. C. V. Gallagher, J. E. Cook, D. Mackie,, Sylvester Kennedy, J. E. Boyle, Gordon Gauthier, E. G, Nickson, George Bannerman, William Bannerman, J. W. Young were a few of the host who believed in the future of the Porcupine. Better still, they worked, and worked well to make their dreams come true. It may be admitted that at the time the fort!asts of the oldâ€"timers seemed a little cverâ€"enthusiastic, but the years have justified them. For example, a few laughed when in A town of three thousand, President T. F. Kirng publicly annsunced at a banâ€" quet here that Timmins would be a city of 30,000 in a few years.

This new party will have as its prime objective the banding together of all progressiveâ€"liberal people into one solid political grouping". . . .This meme, was sent to auto workers and leaders in Gerber‘s territories., . . . There was the feeling that when the Catholic labor people met, as they are now in Roms, they would not set up ifdependent labor organizations but would prepare the way for unity with hte veteran nonâ€"Communist labor organizat« ionsâ€"and that this would set a pattern the world over. The visitors learned, from what they believed to be informed Vatican circles, that the Pope was working on a labor encyclical which would concretely set the Vatican‘s labor policy and in turn launch an aggressive defense against Comâ€" munist labor strength everywhere. And at the same time it was expected the encyclical would state that labor was the most critical element in the political struggle todayâ€"and therefore must remain free. Communist reaction to this halfâ€"hour visit was a propaganda campaign charging th eVatiean and Dubinsky, and the American Federation of Labor which he helps to lead, with a "plot" to "split" and "capture" world labor. Therefore the sole operating bases anywhere are the trade unions. . These, when used in disciplined general strikes to stall railroads, cut coal digging, shut off clectric power, silence newspapers and radio, etc., etc., can. collapse a government and throw it into Communist handsâ€"even where the Communist warty leaders failed at the polls in democratic elections. Therefore, the Vatican‘s call to Catholic labor to unite with nonâ€"Communist unions can be lethal to world revolutionary strategy. If the workers don‘t come out there can be no general strikes.

Until such a moment, which few in high Washington circles expert, these union chie{s will not be molested unless they‘ve overlooked becoming citizens.
