Three divergent accounts of the cause of the outbreak--ranging from deep-laid plans to seemingly insignifi- sant incidents--were being handed about tonight. But the Acting War- den refused to speak to the news- papermen, who had been held, with the rest of hundreds of onlookers, at least 600 feet from the prison walls. Demands for cigaret papers and longer hours of recreation originating in one of the penitentiary shops where manufacturing is done, precipitated the outbreak, according to the interim report forwarded to Ottawa. Unof- ficially, it was understood the prison- ers had expected General Ormond, Superintendent of Penitentaries for the Dominion, would inspect the place today, and had planned to make to him their plea for favor. .

A large number from here attended the Thanksgiving Services at Valentia on Thanksgiving Sunday, and also the Fowl Supper on Monday evening. The play entitled "Willowdale" which was oe $1.50 per year in advance Unemployment oy If we had the courage and the co-operation of ly concerned there need not be unemployment except in cases where the individuals are physicially to work. A few facts will have to be faced before this statement will be admitted as true. First, the poor people who are out of work must be fed and clothed. We cannot allow them to starve to death. e people as a whole will have to pay for this tenance, either privately; through the local authorities, or through Provincial or Fed: aid. Three--there is plenty of use- ful work to be done in every community. Poor People Must Be Fed It is now an accepted rule in most towns and cities to give a night's lodging and a Soiple of meals to any transients who may need this help. Almost all communities are setting up some kind of system for relief, In some cases, this problem is the major difficulty be faced by municipal authorities. We cannot allow Can- adian citizens to starve or suffer undue privation. The People Must Pay for This Help, No matter what institution undertakes the work of relief, the people must pay. Taxes, gifts, and general effort to help, all these are daily facing the Canadian citizen, This condition of things is likely to continue for some time to come, even if pros- perity is just around some unknown corner. We might as well get used to the idea that prosperity such as we witnessed a few years ago is not coming again soon; and to be frank about it, we are of the opinion that such prosperity was not the best possible thing for Canadian citizens. In any case such prosperity is not coming immediately and we might just as well prepare to meet the situation in a business like way. There is Plenty of Work to Do. In every community there are jobs that should be done. There are roads and sidewalks to be repaired. There are ditches to be cleaned out and weeds to be destroyed. Hundreds of men could be usefully employed removing the accumulated dirt and weeds that are in themselves a most costly menace to anything like true Canadian prosperity. Health Departments, Agricultural Depart- ments, and Fire Departments are spending millions of dollars to fight against the ills which dirt and carelessness cause. The whole matter might be turned into a blessing in disguise by training our people in the value of cleanness, tidiness, and carefuiness. At the same time there could be removed some of the most prolific causes of disease, pests and destructive weeds, That such an education is possible is illustrated by the im- proved conditions where the automobile has become prevalent. There there has been a cleaning up that has long been overdue The work is there to be done; and, if intelligently carried out, could, in the long run be of little actual cost to the taxpayer; and could usher in a new standard of living for our citizens. The Value of Labor. Nothing can be so demoralizing as idleness. The value of a nation depends upon the character of its individual citizens. We cannot afford to have idle citizens, even though the business of providing useful work may have great difficulties. Every muni- cipality must make its own plan; but that plan should be founded on ideas that have the very least tendency to pauperism. TER Fire Hazards It is pleasing to learn that the Fire Marshall is undertaking to give information about fire causes in the schools. That is cer- tainly a move in the right direction. It is a move that might well be extended to the larger audience of adults. Such a program of information could be readily put on, for the machinery is already available. Every picture house could become an agency for warn- ing the public in the matter of fire hazards. A series of moving pictures could be made and arranged in such a way that they would carry a thrilling message of warning against carelessness in the matter of waste and inflammable material. The Government might well require that these reels be run at stated periods in all communities. The films need not be long, and they could be most interesting. Fifteen minutes of such information once or twice every year in every community would produce good results in the matter of fire prevention. Se In addition to this the public press and the radio might be used to convey to the people the need for carefulness in the matter of fire prevention. It is evident that it is a case of "Tell me the story often, for I forget it soon." SEPTEMBER FIRE LOSSES IN CANADA SHOW MARKED INCREASE OVER AUGUST As reflected in a weekly complication, fire losses in Canada during September showed a substantial increase over the preced- ing month, and are higher than last year. Fire losses in Canada during September totalled $3,241,800 according to the Monetary Times' estimate, as compared with $2,353,850 during the preced- ing month and with $2,904,585 in September, 1931.

C. Bourlier, General Passenger Agent of the Can- adian National Railways, never before have such a large number of en- quiries been made as to hunting ter- ritory, or advanced bookings for guides and camps been so heavy as they are this fall. "The interest shown this year far exceeds anything I have known in the past," Mr. Bour- lier stated. "Possibly this is due to the excellent reports received from the north, which states that game is unusually plentiful, and also the early» opening of the grouse season after eight years of closed hunting. The partridge hunters were out in full force for the opening day and traffic to the Muskoka and Lake of Bays district was greater than anticipated. As practically all got their bag limit, and this fact may have helped in awakening an early interest in big game. In any event, conditions for hunting are stated to be ideal this year and every hunter apparently in- tends to profit by the unusual season." With a view to accommodating the anticipated heavy traffic, Mr. Bourlier stated that the National System has completed its schedule for the oper- ation of special hunters' trains. Northbound, these trains will leave for Capreol on November 2, 3 and 4, and will stop at intermediate points for the conveni Pp g South bound, trains will leaye Capreol on November 12, 15, 16, and 17, and will also make intermediate stops for the convenience of hunters. Train service on the North Bay line will be strengthened also to meet the re- quirements of the hunting season.
