Such an institution has been needed in the North for many years, but because of the fact that there is no county organization in this North, the people have not been able to do much about it. Since mention of the report many newspapers have expressâ€" ed approval of the idea. The need is recognized and the problem is how to supply the need in the most effective wavy. The other problem to arise was in regard to the location of the proâ€" posed home for the aged of this young man‘s country, New Liskeard was mentioned, and no one had any parâ€" ticular objection to this, until last week when The Kapuskasing Courier touched on a point of more than passâ€" ing interest, and one well worthy of consideration, not only in regard to the proposed home, but in connection with several other matters of similar type. The Courier refers to the fact that in recent years the ‘‘centre °* of the north has shifted. At one time the Haileyburyâ€"Cobaltâ€"New Liskeard district was for all practical purposes the centre of the North. This is no longer the case, the activity and deyâ€" elopment of towns farther noith beâ€" MORE ATTENTION ASKED: FOR NORTH OF THE NORTB It is interesting to note how one problem will bring up another. For instance, some weeks ago The Adâ€" vance, referred to the report that the Northern Ontario Relief Commission ‘‘Gentre of Population Considerably North of New Liskeard,‘‘ says The Kapuskasing Courier. know ; ; by people like yourself ; : for the very reasons which would guide you in the choice of a car. Tbez are bought because they are the product of the most progressive organiâ€" zation in the world‘s most progressive industry : ; because they reflect the General Motors policy of constant adâ€" vancement ; : because they are better cars. . . They represent the latest deâ€" velopments of the world‘s leading automotive research «x }__ ing specially worthy of notice. At the same time, while wonderful proâ€" gress and development has been made by such communities as lroquois Falls, Timmins, Schumacher and Kapuskasâ€" ing, just to mention a few that have greatly increased in population and importance in the past few years, at the same time The Courier should not overlook the fact that the progress of Kirkland Lake, for example, has also been phenomenal in recent years. 1t looks as if there might be two or even three ‘*Norths‘‘ with centres of their own. To return, however, to the suggesâ€" tion of The Courier, the Kapuskasing paper asks that before deciding on the location of any further public instituâ€" tions, the questions be _ answered. ‘‘Where is the North?" and ** Where is the centre of population?"‘ The Courier‘s editorial reference in full is as follows :â€" ‘*‘In the hurry and seurry of lite and the race after the Almighty Dolâ€" lar, there are many matters of real concern which are overlooked and set aside for future consideration.. One item, that of establishing a home for the Aged of the North Countr), is now being given some prominence and the suo‘(restlon is being made that such an institution be established at New Liskeard. "‘There are many things to be conâ€" sidered in making decision and posâ€" sibly the first of these is, where is the North Land? Where will the northland be 5, 10 or 20 years from now? In our humble opinion New Liskeard will be on the southern fringe of that unlimited _ territory known as the northland. Even at the present time we believe the centre of population of the soâ€"called north is considerably north of Liskeard, and the drift is northward all the time. Where has all the development, inâ€" crease of population and business exâ€" pansion taken place in the past ten or fifteen years ? "What of the future? Where will the expansion be? Might we suggest Red Lake, the James Bay route, the Northern Clay Belt. ‘‘Before locations are decided on for public institutions, should be based on the question of where our north is, and where it is going to be in the future. We beâ€" lieve the centre will be a long way north of Liskeard, At present prisonâ€" ers are being takenr to Haileybury, hundreds of miles to gaol, and this opâ€" ecration is costing the country a great deal of money." THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO laboratory, offering these developments to the public as soon as they become available. They are proved in advance, at the expense of General Motors, not the public. They are better cars because they are Canadian cars. And they embody greater value because of General Motors moneyâ€"saving methods of quantity buying and volume production. This popularity of General Motors wars holds more than a passing interest for the Canadian car buyer ; ; for General Motors utilizes inâ€" creased demand to reduce production costs and to offer still more outstanding automobile value. GMâ€"1928 NORTH LAND NOT THE ONLY FORESTRY AIR BRANCH PLACE TO HAVE WEATHER | HAVE TAME MUD TURTLE A reader of The Advance sends in the following clipping from The Edinburgh Seotsman to show â€" that this North Land is not the only place where there is weather of sorts this summer. _ Old Country people here may be particularly interested in the paragraph which reads as follows: ‘*‘After 40 hours‘ continuous rain. Morayshire rivers were on Sunday night in flood. The Spey, which has been rising steadiy since midnight on Saturday, again overflowed a quarter of a mile above the railway viaduet at Garmouth, where the protective bulwark, about the dglay in repairing which questions were asked in the House of Commons a few weeks ago, has been broken down since Septemâ€" ber. Great anxiety prevailed amongst the householders in the lowerâ€"lying portions, avhich have already been flooded out several times since the autumn. Hail and tlmnderstorms{ were experienced at Berwick on Satâ€" urday night. The gardens at Tweedâ€" mouth were white with hailstones, and a street was flooded, people having dificulty in entering their houses. The water entered some of the lowâ€" lying dwellings. Some damage was done by lightning on Saturday afterâ€" noon at Bishopbriggs, a villa at Casâ€" tleton avenue, Auchinairn road, being struck There was a heavy fall of snow on Sunday at Lochaber, Inverâ€" nessâ€"shire, and on the following mornâ€" ing snow lay to a considerable depth on the mountains. Ben Nevis had a mantle of white stretching down for 2,000 feet from the summit.

After he had viewed his former habâ€" itat from the clouds, he was dragged into the cockpit when the air pressâ€" ure threatened to shove him off his perch. Back at the air base he was tethered by a long cord and allowed to forage for himself around the doeck. Formally _ christened *‘*Tim"‘ by ‘‘Dick‘‘ Overbury, he now â€" poses somewhat indifferently as ithe pet of the birdmen at the Lake Ramsay base. His experience ‘‘up in the air‘"‘ has apparently not spoiled ‘him for the everyday duties of life, and he is creating havoe among the minows in the vwmntv of the dock and only comes to the surface on rare occaâ€" sions to greet his new found friends."‘ London Free Press:â€"Let‘s see, now who was that pilot who flew Miss Earâ€" hart across the ocean?

This king baiting does not pay.‘"‘ GOMMERGIAL FLVING AS siff AS MOTORING NOW Only One Accident for Every Four Thousand Flights, [(According to Statistics Official statisties prepared in conâ€" nection with commercial flying in Canada show some very interesting facts. In the first place aviation is not nearly so dangerous as some people are inclined to believe. Indeed, it apâ€" pears after all to be much safer than motoring. Of course, usually when there is an accident in connection with air service, the imcident is3 a CAanaAd althou 748 ac every there Is an accident in connéection with air service, the incident is a fatality. _ Neverthcless the aceidents are comparatively rare after all. Ofâ€" ficials figures show that last year in Canada only four persons were killed although there were no less than 16,â€" 748 actual flights made . That is for every 4,157 flights there is liable to be one accident, judging by the 1927 reeord. â€" What about this in regard to automobile trips? Will the figures show as low a rate of accidents in conâ€" nection with automohile trips? The following facts relating to pubâ€" lie flying in Canada in 1927 should be o1 mterebt,.- - Passengers carried, 18,032. -‘ Pilot miles, 829,010.

For some time mining companies have heen concerned with the high cost of transfer charges, which have at times become excessive, running as higch as $20,000 a year for individual companies. It is said a considerable part of this cost has been due to unâ€" necessary transfers, and efforts have ibeen made to bring about a reduction, but it has now been decided that the only effective means is to make a charge for transfers, and authority to do this was given at the last session of the legislature by an amendment to the companies act. The following companies will, therefore, on and after Sept. 1, 1928, make a charge of 25 cents for each certificate issued reâ€" presenting shares of their capital stock; Castle Trethewey Mines, Ltd., Lake Shore Mines, ILAtd., Melntyre Porcupine Mines, Ltd., Mining Corâ€" poration of Canada Ltd., Noranda Mines, Ltd., Teckâ€"Hughes Gold Mines Ltd., Treadwell Yukon Co. Ltd., Wrightâ€"Hargreaves Mines Ltd. The present step has been found necesâ€" sary to curb unnecessary transfers, even though the charge of 25 cents per certificate does not nearly cover the cost which sometimes runs as high as $1 a certificate.
