UJanadaâ€"$3.00 Per Year Elw parliament of Canada has met and decided‘ to udJoum without performing the most lam single duty that was before itâ€"the duty of seeing that soldiers on active service in Canada were not asked to hitchâ€"hike or stea;) rxdes to seach 'tho.h homes while on leave. It will be only a short while now before the soldiers will on their Christmas leaves. It is true that some of them will not be given Christmas . _Noâ€"one will flnd fault with that, if duty keeps%bem on active bervxce But those granted leave- WChristmas will have to stint themselves unduly to gather toâ€" "ethex the cost of transportation.: Certainly, it is not an easy matter to pay transportation charges- from a soldier‘s pittance. In some cases jt will mean serious hardship for the coldiel‘;fi)‘irdsflip, in which his relatives will share, or inâ€" dirgctly. There are, of course, some cases, where the,families may be able to pay the cost of transâ€" portation. To The Advance, however, it seems unjust to ask the men and women who have given their sons to the cause to pay the whole cost of what should be paid by all in Canadaâ€"and would be gladly paid, so far as the people are concerned. There appears to be something radically unfair in saddling transportation costs on ‘the soldiers or their families. They are the last ‘people who shofld be asked for further sacrifiges. | . «_ > uk hion of having the day after Christmas.observed as an unofficial holiday, and the plan was folâ€" lowed by other Northern towns. Many years beâ€" fore the idea was adopted here The Advance more than once suggested its desirability in halfâ€"joking fashion. The Advance urged that for the proper observance of Christmas a threeâ€"day holiday was Yes, the soldiers will soon be home on Christmas leaveâ€"at the expense of themselves or their famiâ€" liesâ€"home by hitchâ€"hiking or by stealing rides. But even before the soldiers are home for Christâ€" mas leave, the members of parliament will be homeâ€"on free railway passesâ€"home‘if Pullmans, with all comforts and safety. The member for this riding, Mr. Jos. A. Bradette, may come home with a clear conscience, for he started a battle in the House to secure transportation for soldiers on leave But some of the members who supported the autocratic red tape attitude of the party govâ€" ernment to ignore the demand of the people in gengral for a fair deal for the soldiers, ashamed to travel in state on a free pass, a,tt.er telling the soldiers what they could do about g ting home on leave. 54. ol "Boxing Day" is the first week day after Christâ€" mas and it has been long observed in Britain as a holiday. In England and Scotland it is a reguâ€" lar bank holiday each year and has been widely observed by stores and industries as a holiday. In recent years there has been a tendency to:obâ€" serve "Boxing Day‘" as a general holiday in the North. Some years ago Timmins started the fasâ€" really essential. "A day to prepare for Christmas, a day to celebrate and a day to sober up," was the way The Advance phrased it. There are, howâ€" ever, very serious reasons why the Christmas holiday should be observed for more than a sinâ€" gle day. In the case of the owners and employees of Stores, their work is so arduous in the weeks before Christmas that more than the one day‘s rest and relaxation seems to have been earnéed. The same is true of many industries and other lines of work. In addition Christmas 1s a home festivalâ€"a time to be spent with relatives and friendsâ€"and in this land of long distances, travel often takes up much of the time of many, and if but the one day is available for observing the holiday, there is danger of the greater part of it being spent in transportation. In recent years the custom has been to declare the day after Christmas as a holiday. Customers of the stores have found this little of a hardship, but it has certainly been a great advantage to the staffs of business. No doubt thxs year there may be some who will argue that there is no time this year for holidays. It is true enough that those engaged in various forms of war work must conâ€" tinue their labours. Some of them will not be able even to enjoy one day for This does nofi alter the fact however, that in lines where no det‘.rxment appears to the war effort, there do nbt seem to be any reason why formerâ€"plans for ob*- beerg Boxing Day should not beâ€" confinueq It doés not appear that the day‘s hofiday: would serjously affect stores, banks, officgs and . .mrho.n industries. There have been no 111-§fiects rfifported in pabt years. w «uts Aus The only argument put up by the party governâ€" ment in excuse of its attitudeâ€""let the soldiers hitchâ€"hike or steal rides, if they want to go home on leave"â€" is that the cost of transportation of soldjers on leave would be too costly. \‘The answer to that one is that some other expense should be PAGE POUR tm it t P P P LAE lA l it td P L MA t : e lt d o Che Yorrupine giman'm . ?iâ€"r;'mins, Ont., Monday, Dec. 9th, 1940 M""'"”"’"" ’-vvv"vvvvw'v P T - Tl’ ANSPORTATION FURSQLDILRs ; wHAT ABOUT BOXING DAY? United Statesâ€"$3.90 Per Yea) But now the ancient volcano is again, in the ‘limelightâ€"and (very meanly) just at the moment ~when>Modest Mussolini has so many of his own seruptions to attend to. Vesuvius is said to be givâ€" jng â€"some of those preliminary growlings that foretell another boiling over. And, worse still, there is a demand in London, England that the Royal Air Force drop a few bombs into the crater ‘of Vesuvius just to see if anything will happen. There is a tradition that Vesuvius would resent any interference of any sort and that anything would be liable to happen if anybody embraced the idea of dropping bombs on an apparently deâ€" lfenceless volcano was "good sport," as â€" Modest Mussolinls son suggested about bombing tne ,Ebhiopian peasants. Of course, the fearsome terâ€" ‘rorcof the volcanic Vesuvius may be all mere Itaâ€" uan bluff, like the boasts and threats of Modest Mussolmi himself. Most people, however, would ,uke to see the R. A. F. test out the question as a _matter of curiosity and for the furtherance of scientific knowledge in the world. cut, instead of burdening the soldier and his famâ€" "fli with a completely unfair load. The averagei man has a firm belief that it would be a very simâ€" ple matter for the party government at Ottawa to raise the cost of soldier‘s transportation even awithout raising taxation. For instance, why not lop off a féew thousands of the profits in each war | contract let in recent months? Take that order 'g;,r 26,000 garbage cans, for example, the price for them being such that the party government openly stated that it was not in the public interests to make known the charges. When costs are that high, it does appear that the surplus would help pay the transportation of quite a few soldiers. Then there are some of those gentlemen working for a dollar a year and expenses by the week, the daily expenses in some instances reaching $20.00 a day.~=If these expenses were cut, say to $10 a Aay, the $1 a year man would be getting a much bigger remuneration than the soldier, and there ‘would be still enough saved to pay transportation ‘for quite a number of soldiers on leave. _This is a democratic country, and that means that not only have the people a right to express their views, but they also have the right to insist that party governments adopt those views. It has been shownâ€"by the newspapers, by the letters from individuals and organizations and by other public expressions of opinionâ€"that the people of Canada are anxious that the soldiers should be fairly treated in this matter of transportation on leaves. The people are quite aware that they will have to bear the costâ€"whatever it may beâ€"just as they have to bear all other costs, some not nearly so fair cr necessary. The people are also well aware that the present party government has many other expenditures that could be prunâ€" ed without injury to the war effort or the good of the country as a whole. The people of Canada are quite ready to make sacrifices, but they would be‘less than intelligent if they did not resent the attemptâ€"to load all the sacrifices upon a part of the people, while another part appears to expect to:carry on "business a little better than usual." _Last week The Advance suggested that the memâ€" bers of parliament, who are getting from $4,000.00 a year to $13,000.00â€"and free railway rides on all railways in Canadaâ€"should pay their own railroad fares for a change and turn the amount over so that the soldiers would not have to hitchâ€"hike or steal rides to get home on leave. The editorial in which that was suggested had hardly more than reached Ottawa before there was a motion to adâ€" journ before the House of Commons. Perhaps, the party government'was afraid that some memâ€" ber of parliament might be shamed into upholdâ€" ing the proposal, before the members had time to have their baggage packed and their passes ready to travel home in state for the Christmas vacation until next February. There was a time when the papers used to be 'talking about Vesuvius much of the time. Recentâ€" ly little Hhas been heard of Vesuvius. Even the Italians have been boasting little about this volâ€" cano. There are two possibleâ€"yes, probable exâ€" planations for this Who could blame the Italians if they said:â€""Why boast about Old Vesuvius. when we have Modest Mussolini?" The other reaâ€" son may have been that Modest Mussolini would not allow even a volcano to overshadow him. "If there is any erupting to be done around here, T‘ll attend to it," is the motto of Modest Mussolini. . a time when Italy took a sort of sad ‘bride in Mount Vesuvius. They thought it the most troublesome volcano in the world, and that was something. Its history goes back centuries beioxe:..thc Christian era. For centuries it would sieep in surly, snoring fashion and then without a moment‘s warning it would rouse to fury, belchâ€" ing forth fire and destruction and death over many miles. It had erupted so often and caused so much damage and the loss of so many lives, that Italâ€" lians were inclined to hold Vesuvius as a national wonder. There was also a tradition that because of its uncertain temper the people who lived near it must be very brave and fearlessâ€"and there were alw'ays tens of thousands in residence within its scope People who took such chances must be very brave it was axgued A modern cynic might retort that they simply overâ€"rated their ability to run. Unless something like this is done, Vesuvius is likely to remain in the shade. There are so many other volcanoes in the world these days. There is for example the one on which Modest Mussoâ€" VOLCANOES THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMIN3, ONTARIO Mr. C. Gibson was a vtsltot‘ to Nor anda last week. Dr. A. W.

HIe doesn‘t know what minute it will erupt and cover poor Modest Mussolini with hot lava so that he won‘t be able to sit down and he will find it deciâ€" dedly uncomfortable to stand up. Reports of riots in Italian towns and the resignation of his high command officers and other little incidents of the day indicate the sort of volcano upon which Moâ€" dest Mussolini sits. Indeed, all the dictators of today appear to have their own personal volcanos. Hilarious Hitler has one with half a dozen craters. For the moment he is sitting on the Roumanian crater in the hopes that he can kesp it from any further eruptions. At the same time he has to keep watchful eye on the Czechoslovakian crater and the one in Holland. Then there is the Polish one, and the one in France, and the other in Belâ€" gim, not to mention the Danish crater. Indeed, the former Austrian paperhanger has a fear that all the craters may start to erupt at the one time. If he were a student of natural history, instead of an unnatural gangster, he would know that the most probable thing on earth is that he will find before long that even if he were as swift as the Italian troops he could not hope to move fast enough to sit on all his craters in time to prevent the general eruption that is inevitably coming.
