Fae SOLVING THE PROBLEM (Timmins Free Press) The readiness with which public organizations have responded to the the growing boy in Timmins, been highly commendable, Within .two weeks, at least thrée organiza- tions have set in motion machinery for the assistance of the - play-hun- gry boy of Timmins. Foremost in the movement have beén ~ the Kiwanis Club. They are providing equipment for public playgrounds Yand certain members are now organizing on their individual responsibilities juv- enile baseball teams. The Knights of Columbus have also sprung into ac- tivity with their Columbus Squires and baseball organizations. With the ‘Children’s Aid working in co-opera- tion with the owners of. the local theatres in providing the children with free shows at least once week, altogether much has been ac- complished within an extremely short time for the assimilation of growin boys from e@ poorer homes, in the healthy-activity of outdoor sports and the wholesome influence of pro- per supervision. GRACIOUSNESS (Youth's Companian) We suspect that some persons re- sist the impulse to be gracious and are distrustful of it in others because ofa feeling that it implies an attitude of condescension. It is unfortunate if one of the most attractive manifes- tations of human kindliness and sympathy is often held in abeyance through fear that it may be inter- preted as a gesture of superiority. Graciousness may be shown by those o are in an inferior position as well as by those who are in a super- ior; it is equally charming whether it is the expression of appreciatfén for a favor received or of happiness in rendering a service. Graciousness in giving does not in- evitably imply graciousness in recely- ing. Sometimes we see persons who give graciously but who as beneficiar- jes of the kindness of others make a poor response and accept the situa- tion grudingly. A charming hostess not i lably a satisf. y guest. And sometimes the persons who ar e spontaneous\enough in showing their appreciation of a kindess are shy and awkward in manner when they try to do a kindness with the result that the person who is the object of their at- tention feels that their interest is only half-hearted. Graciousness, whether in giving or in receiving, means complete surrend- er to the spirit of good will. It is in- hibited by selfconsciousness, pride, ae and the analysis of mot- ves. DURHAM NOW ON MAP (Durham Chronicle) At last Durham has arrived! The Post Office Department has found us out and from now on assing motorists, and others not aogifainted know when they see the glittering with this metropolitan centre will white and red sign that they are in Durham. In order that the travel- ling public should not mistake this ‘newest idea for a “Bull” Durham tobacco sign, and go in and upset the erstwhile quiet demeanor of Post- master Smith by requesting a dime’s worth of “the makins,” the depart- ment has thoughtfully placed the words “ ffice’’ underneath. This precaution is also useful in that no foreigner or stranger to the place will be so liable to mistake the beautifull entrance of our mill dis- tributing centre for the rotunda’ of the Chateau Laurier or other com- ‘mon hostelry, ome day the provincial govern- ment may issue their markers in red and white, when it will Probably be found necessary to place a guard on Our post office sign in order to pre- vent some misguided motorist swip- ns it and using it fora license num- er.

The hawker paid no business tax or licens® fee and would not sell to the dealers who have to pay taxes to do business. Instead of be- ing “independent” we are very much dependent on the trade done by our home business concerns, and we are all dependent on each other to greater or less extent. The mainten- ance of our municipal institution, our schools and even our churches depend largely on the home trade and for that reason we refused an advertisement.to aid an outsider who contributes nothing to the town or county, to carry away the trade that legitimately belongs to our taxpay- ing business firms. We have repeat- edly refused advertisements for firms outside our county, unless they place their goods through local deal- ers. The dealers who ate taxed to keep up our home institutions are entitled to a share in the money own people—Forest It is not so long ago that this pa- per made the statement that it was following the very same policy. as outlined in the above clipping. Not only that but The Reporter has turn- ed down advertising time and again which we believed to be of the fake variety. Yet because a couple of printing firms outside the town are waging a price cutting war on coun- ter check ooks and send men throughout the country to canvass the merchants, a number of the local men jumped at the chance of getting books a few cents cheaper per book and placed orders. They did not stop to think that not one cent of this money spent will ever return to their business. And yet these men are the first to holler about the number of orders that are going to the mail or- der houses and affecting their busi- ness. There something wrong someplace. PRESS MORE POWERFUL THAN PULPIT (Collingwood Bulletin) Recently a business man _ boldly Said that one-half of the newspapers are thrown in the waste basket and not read. With the gentleman there fs general disagreement by the ma- jority which, fortunately, recognizes in a measure the power of the Press. Only a few days ago Mrs. Plumptree, president of the Ontario Division of the Red Cross, when speaking to the Women’s Canadian Club, Stratford, frankly stated that she considered the Press more w- erful than the church. With both the lady has had much to do. Allied with the church by the fact that her hus- and is a clergyman of one of the strong Canadian churches. she been in a position to learn from first hand information its strength. In her public work, notably the Red ross which was especially active during the Great War, Mrs. Plump- tree has been in a position to study the Press and unconsciously, per- haps, contrast it with the church. That she would lean toward the lat- ter should be no matter of surprise, yet her wide experience has removed her from those who look upon the Press as lacking in power and in- fluence, as inanimate. Everybody, she says, reads a newspaper, but all do not go to church and who can honestly deny her argument. Contin- uing, after citing several instances where the Press had suceeded in put- ting projects across and giving cred- it therefore she said, “Adverse crit- icism usually reaches a newspaper- man, but seldom words of commenda- tion."’ To this the Stratford Beacon- Herald adds, “Sad but true words, Mrs. Plumptree. Readers are not lax in complaining if an article does not please them, but a newspaperman may burn the midnight oil and lose his beauty sleep in composing an art- icle that will please a large sectipn of the community, utilizing all the literary ability at his command, and it will not bring forth a single word of commendation next day.

Though the emoluments of a country editor are sO meagre as to be almost negligible, it is far better to draw the smaller pittance and be independent and free than to share in the spoils of the metropoli- tan journalism and write under dic- tation, insult the proprieties, and in general defy the ordinary amenities of life, by featuring those things that contribute nothing to the uplift or betterment of the human race.

C. PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD DENOUNCES GOVERNMENT SALE (St. Marys Argus) At a recent meeting of the British Columbia Synod of the Presbyterian Church the claims of those advocat- ng government sale are declared to be “utterly false In the experience of this Province.” Absolute prohibition is advocated and a call to arms’ is sounded. Coming as it does from such a source, the decision of the Synod must carry weight. The fol- lowing resolution was unanimously adopted at the British Columbia Synod of the Presbyterian Church:— Whereas, previous to the plebiscite votes on the liquor question, held in British Columbia, in Manitoba and Alberta there was on the part of the liquor interests an organized cam- paign of misrepresentation; » Whereas, the claims made for government sale of liquor that it would decrease bootlegging, reduce taxation, restore respect for law, re- duce drunkenness, etc., have been proven utterly false in the experience of this Province; Whereas, in other a Provinces, as urged that government sale of liquor, as in British Columbia, is an ideal solution of the liquor question; Whereas, the sale of liquor pro- duces conditions destrictive of the economic, social and normal welfare of the people; Whereas, it is most desirable that we should have for our people auth- orative instruction on the scientific as well as the moral phases *of the liquor question. Yow, therefore, this Synod urges upon the General Assembly's Com- mittee on Home Missions and Social Service to consider the preparation, by itself, or through the Prohibition Federation of Canada, of such liter- ature at as early a date as possible, and that it be published and circu- lated among our people along with reliable information regarding the present situation of the liquor ques- tion in-the Provinces of Canada and in other lands. And Synod further urges upon the General Assembly's Committee on Home Missions and Social Service, the necessity” of at once securing an efficient Domrinion- wide organization for the purpose of adequately meeting the attacks of the liquor traffic. Regarding the British Columbia beer plebiscite to be held during this summer, this Synod re- affirms its belief in a policy of ab- solute prohibition of the .manufac- ture, distributjon and sale of intoxi: cating liquor for beverage purposes; records its antagonism to any exten- sion of facilities for obtaining liquor by the glass as provided for in the forthcoming plebiscite; regards the proposal as a preliminary step to the rehabilitation of, the bar and urges members and adherents to do all in their power to defeat the proposal.
