We do not wish to minimize the danger of having disloyal men and woâ€" men in high office, but in subjecting loyal people to unsupported aspersions there‘s also danger of destroying freedom beyond repair in the zeal of our efforts to save it. _ One of America‘s prominent citizens, a putlic servant of heretoâ€" fore unblemished record, recently hit the headlines of nearly every newspaper in and the United States, when the U.S. Army‘s Intelligence branch ticketed him publicly as "unemployable" â€"â€" not "a good loyalty risk." . In the same week documents were produced at a spy trial in which an unnamed secret agent ‘of the Federal Bureau of Investigation put his slander of "Communist‘" on a whole group of famous Americans. No evidence against them was or Wm be ahnduced and no charges laid. Nothing these persons might go or resort to will clear their names. _ As Canadians we shouldn‘t let fear trick us into this kind of thing. _A healthy state takes the loyalty of most of its citizens for granted, and well knows that disloyalty among the disgruntled few will always be frustrated in the end. Canada has a good goâ€" vernment therefore it is one of the healthiest states to be found on the map today. This preoccupation with treason is akin to being neurotic. SE EDC es on ® s ‘" Speakers of the opposition claim the government is showing an unwillingness to govern. On the goverment benches some of the members have adopted a mildly critical attitude towards their leadâ€" ers for raising the question of conscription in peacetime. â€" If New Zealand has the same problems with teenâ€"agers that has been and still is, besetting many Canadian cities, especially Toronto, with zootâ€"suited. hoodlums running wild, compulsory military training at the age of 18 would be the best thing for all concerened.. Bases and root of the trouble with ‘teenâ€"age‘ elements in some cases can be traced back to the war years as growing children they were without parental Compulsory training at best would create muilch more respeéect for law and â€"order. The value of compulsory training made itself apparent when Canada found itself at war and young men, in the various armed forces were trained to discipline and an obedience to carry out ordens, wrote a glorious page in modern history. Qf,;cpurse Canada has not been without its discussions on comâ€" lsory forms of training:. A few years ago at Ottawa the cadet training scheme in Canadian schools was under fire. One of its most vig@zseus opponents was Miss Agnes Macphail, now sitting in the Legislature as a.C.C.F. member. Thefé have been three cases in the Poreupine Area this year, two of thent. fatal and the third case bexng recently released from the hospital. The most startling fact revealed by current research is that for ecvery individual who contacts the disease with recognized sympâ€" toms there are probably 100 who have the disease in unrecognized form, with symptoms no more acute than a brief nausea and fever. Of those who develop paralytic symptoms one out of twelve will die, two will be permanently handicapped, three will have only a slight paralysis nad six will completely recover. No known drug has the sightest effect of preventing or curing the disease. Surely there can be little or no opposition to a scheme that proâ€" duces clearâ€"thinking and cleanâ€"cut citizens, in addition to raising the standard of health, and if for no other reasons but these reaâ€" sons ‘dlone it certainly will be interesting to observe the results of the New Zealand referendum. The polio scare which appears to strike each year at this time has fortunately never reached any major proportions in this part of Ontario. ‘The Advance approached the medical health officer, Dr. Graham B. Lane,for information on polio in the district and for some inforâ€" mation on this disease. "The best explanation and article on polio appeared in the Satâ€" urday Night," said Dr. Lane. The Advance has taken the opporâ€" tunity to bring this article written by John J. O‘Neill of New York, to the attention of its readers. ©Summer is the season for infantile paralysis, a disease only 109 years old but one that is gaining rapidly in the age of victims it will affect. . Infantile paralysis presents the remarkable situation of a d{séase changing its nature from one that formerly occurred in isolated cases to one that now leads to epidemics; from one that orâ€" iginally affected children up to four years old but now strikes more frequently in the four to eightâ€"year group and is also distributed in all age groups, with numbers decreasing as age increases. Jnfantile paralysis was first recognized as a disease in 1840 in Central Europe. â€" It flashed into epidemic form fortyâ€"seven years later, at Stockholm in 1887. Since then it has spread all over the world in epidemics of increasing dimension. ‘ Last week, in New Zealand, a public opinion survey on military trmmng for 18â€"yearâ€"olds was conducted. The poll was conducted through the medium of a referendum. w a 1 ¢ t _2 C 3201 ic oc ui ced P on â€" 4. Infantile paralysis is caused not by one but by at least types of viruses, three of which form a related group. Each type af the disease produces immunity, but only against the type of viâ€" tus that caused the disease. Polio, as it is frequently called, is more a country than a,.city diâ€" sease, but it strikes in areas with adequate sewage systems more frequently than in rural regions where hygienic facilities may be substandard. If it claimed victims at the same rate in densely populated areas like New York, Chicago and San Francisco as it does in sparsely populated rural countries, its toll would be treâ€" mendous. . The disease is as likely to strike well nourished individuals, those who seem to be enjoying better than ever average conditions of health, as those under par. There is a suspicion that a bit too much of a "good fiealmy sun tan" may have something to do with the disease. There is a belief that bathing in polluted waters may be a cause. More strongly founded is the belief that becoming exhausted and overheated from too concentrated work or play and suddenly cooling off in a breezs, a cool dip or a cold shower proâ€" duces elements of danger. . How the disease is spread is unknown. Food contaminated by rnhygienic handling is suspected of being a carrier. The fly was suspected, but the case against it lacks proof. No common insect animal has been found to a‘ common carrier of the virus. Bporadi¢ cases begin to appe@r in early spring. Many epidemi: develop.

Newton used to take particgar amusement in comâ€" menting on The Advance‘s frequent references to "Accidents and Incidents,, Often he would question the classificâ€" ation of this or that item, as "accid ent or ‘"incident‘". He used to make the humorous claim that when a man was arrested in T.mmins for blindpigâ€" ging or highâ€"grading, it was cleariy The prize argument with Councillor Newton was the one in connection with the thirtyâ€"foot fall that came accidentally, or incidently, to Alf. Holâ€" land in August of 1918. Alf, was at his usual work in the Hollinger mill when his ankle twisted under him in turning round, and he fell from the iagitators to the hard floor beneath, a distance of fully thirty feet. He managed to avoid some protruding iron rods on the way down, but there a case of accident. He added that any jury would be compelled to convict that ‘blinbpigger or highâ€"grader of conitributory careles:ness in causing the arrest. On the other hand, Councillor Len held that when a man arrested here for brutal assault, burglary, or other serious crime, it was quite evident an incident, not an accident, as the police acted on purpose. Hundreds of scientists working under the chairmanship of Dr. Thomas M. Rivers, of the Rockfeller Institute, with funds supplied by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis have been carâ€" i ying on intensive investigations in the epidemic nature of the disâ€" ease and the nature of the viruses. more are woftking on other aspects cf the diseéase. . _ ... °_ _ _ _ _ _ _ it 9 C d s â€"Aivss ns Forty per cent of the money raised by the "March of Dimes" is being spent for scientific research by the foundation.~ A ring of knowledge is closing slowly but surely around this killing and disâ€" abling agent..

Therc was no question but that it was an incident, and not an accident, when H J. Mars::all, about the. same time of year, received a letter from gcatleman in the South. It was A very frank ag honest letter. It, told Mr. Marshall how this customer had deliberately planned to defraud the firm,. First, some money had. been deposited with the firm, then . some ‘purchases made, and then some furâ€" ther depo:site made But when the customer was some fifteen or twenty dosllars ahead of Marshallâ€"Eccelstone, the customer suddenly moved from schumacher to the far South, taking particular care not to leave his new @ddress with the firm he owed. Down,. in the South, however this customer "found salvation free," as he expreâ€"sed it himself in the letter, re were fewer of Oldâ€"timer incidents were grave and gay, and in between.. For example, Ahere was the case of the Timmins gentleman wao was arrested after an accident on the highway. One oi the cars involved in the accident sped gaily on its way, but Chief Ernie Roy mnappened to be near and took the number of the delinquent car. With Bhat number, it was easy to find the cwner of the car concerned. The offiâ€" cilal list said that that car belonged to the Timmins gentleman aforesaid. But right after the arrest, a brothor of the Timmins man confessed to Chief Roy ‘that it was his car that was the guilty one. and No# Gives Ten Doilars to Save His Bacon in the Next World." .It apâ€" peared that the former South Porcâ€" upine man wro‘e to one of the local mine managers, saying: "I am enclosâ€" ing ten dollars as payment for two labs of bacon taken from your mine in 1914. The bacon was worth about $7.00; the extra $3.00 is for interest." The mine manager sent the ten dollars to the Red Cross, as a donation from ‘the letter writer. A somewhat similar incident was reâ€" ported in The Advance some montas before. Conscience in those days did make people do unusual things, it would seem. This particular incident was headed: ‘"South Porcupine Man a1j»;â€"headtiig was: "He Appropriated Two Slabs of Bacon in This World, While the spectators cried, form a safe idstance, "Come on, Mary, give it to her!" there was no favoritism shown to either side So far as the crowd knew both women bore the thought it would be great if both could win â€" This could not be, but incidents dlike this did keen life from being too dull and drab in the .carly days.

Mcdern Science has developed Commenting on this incident, The Advance at the time said, "It is hard to believe that a South Porcupine man would swipe two slabs of bacon. A South ‘Porcupine loyaiist wanted to make an incident of that comment, but the editor assured the writer of the letter that it would be an accident if he succecded. A few people would be ready to adâ€" mig that wars are ever accidental. Seldom do they start except "on purâ€" pose!" In any event auring the first world war there was a minor war in Timmins that could best be described as an incident. . This particular incidâ€" ent was a pitched battle on Fourth Avaemue, just a few feei from the enâ€" trance to the police station. This incident may well be termed a "bloody fray," for there was blood spilled all over t::c road, and the sidewalk, and in the police station, where one of the women concerned took re:uge. There was one accidental feature about this exhibition, and that was that the whole polite {orce (a total of two men, including the chief) were busy elseâ€" wihere. This allowed free scope for the free fight. Onlookers, who kepi a respectâ€" able and judicious distance from the two contestants, say that ‘the women used finger nails, fists, sticks, stones, teeth, and anything else that was handy, especially the Australian langâ€" uage which was the native tongue of both the ladies. One of the ladies reâ€" quired surgical attention aiter the afâ€" fray, while the other one carried away blackened eyes, and scratches, bruised battered and bleeding face. When the police returned to the station to find the casualty of the Fourth Avenue war, tne wounded woman laid a charge of assault against the triumphant â€" victor. The latter retaliated by a similar charge against ‘vl1e o‘her Mary. In police court the next week it tcoked as ifi another batâ€" tle might commence there between the two enemies. "A plague on both tough:t in Magistrate Atkinson‘s mind when hc dismissed both charges,., addâ€" ing that if they thought they did not have enough fighting, he could fine them or send them both to jail for f‘ghting on thc street. The ladies thcught that enough was enough, and they had had it. "But I got the number right! T‘ll swear to that!" said Chief Roy. Furâ€" ther cnquiry showed that Chief Roy had the right number, but the wrong car. The explanation of the matter was t:at the Timmins man and the Schumacher brother used the same license plates, and had been getting away with it for ~a couple oi years. Magistrate Atkinson has a keen sense of humour, and when the case was exâ€" plained to him, he said; "Fine for beti: of you! $20.00 fine! And costs!" Elizabeth, N.J. â€" â€" If you read detective stories, you well know what science and shoe leather the FBI has been using to investigate all those lefty C1I0O laâ€" bor leaders who, after a lifetime in the Communist Party, or its intimate cirâ€" cle; a:u:senly have signed affidavits swearing they‘re allergic to the hammer and sickle. + For weseks now, the Bureau has been quietly probing the CIO‘s leftist bloc Extremist labor chiefs in this group obviously defled $10,000 fines and 10 year jJail terms, by signing up so they could use governmental machinery in laâ€" bor elections as required b ythe Taftâ€"Hartliey law. The lefties have a lifeâ€"andâ€"death reason for this. We‘ll pick that up shortly. The FBI agents have been wasting shoe leather. The CIO proâ€"Commics . Only one, of all the leaders of CIO miners, furniture workers, or food and have just been staying away from all party activity â€" â€" open or underground. tobacco workers, has done something since the signing which might be used against him. And he donated a few bucks to a Commie cause. Nothing much there. C t Why? Because they expect to be kicked cut of CIO, when the national CIC convention meets a few weeks later in the same city. In fact, rumor has it that they already have hired a hall to which they can parad» after the ousâ€" ter â€" â€" at which they will set up a new Federation and plan strategy for this latest labor civil war. So apparently next on the Partyâ€"line to take the oath â€" â€" and be 1nvestinted by the FBI â€" â€" will be leaders of the notortous CIO Electrical Workers (UE). J‘ m reliably informed that its cfficers will be ordered by the UE‘s convention in Cleveland, Sept. 19, to sign nonâ€"Communist affidavits. Well, what these honest working men can expect was sharply silhouetted by what has happened in this little New Jersey industrial city. Here the proâ€" Communist leaders of UE have been running an unprecedented strike against tihe Singer Sewing Machine Co. for thrse months. Coviously the proâ€"Communists are giving this strategy the highest priority. They want to do nothing which might jeopardize their ability to get on a National Labor Relations Board ballot in any factory where any other unicn might challenge them. If they don‘t swear that they are nonâ€"Communists they can‘t get on the ballot. It becomes easy to force them out of the plant. The war then will pivot around the CIO‘s efforts to drive the proâ€"Comâ€" munist unions out of every factory in the country. It was on the night of July 20. The antiâ€"Communists, having finally orâ€" ganized an Independent union in opposition to UE‘s leadership of hte 77â€"day walkout at the Singer plant,; anncunced there would be a rally at the Elk‘s auâ€" ditorium at 8 o‘clock. At 7:30 sharp, the proâ€"Commies deployed members of s roving 300â€"mansquad at trolley and bus stops, parking areas, and every busystreet intersection. All persons walking in the direction of the Elks hall were stcpped, questicned, and told not to go to the meeting. "Are you going to the meeting?‘‘ the union members were asked ‘"Don‘t go," they warned. "And by the way. what department do you wiork in?"" was the last subtle crack. But if the CIO ousts its proâ€"Communist bloc of unions, what will happen to the nonâ€"Communists among the hundreds of thousands of union members, say in the UE, for example? At this point, a photographer, hired by the lefties, stepped up and: snapped ‘he oppositionists‘ pictures. Reprisal threats were ocbvious. After the meeting started, the roving squad stopped roving, buncwhed up at the Elks‘ Hall doors, shut off the exits, and started screaming. Two, of the cppositicn leaders went out and invited the squad chiefs in, even Offering them the platform for their viewpoints. All the decent fellows got for their pains were jeers. But the excitement which flared spontaneously within the British antiâ€"Comâ€" munist waterfront men after they had flown here secently and discovered this isolated union produced movie, reveals dramatically how effective is Moscow‘s international propaganda offensive against American labor, as well as U.S. business. _ The importance of this waterfront concentration is not fully unâ€" derstood here. : And while just a few of us were screaming about it, this federation arroâ€" gantly attacked the U.S. Department of J‘ustice for trying to deport Harry (Hatchet Face) Bridges as a Communist. * < g % ; But, meeting in London these days, is a small band of labor men.
