p~ The other day one of the convalescent patients in the hospital was looking out of the window in wistful way, regretful of the wearisome fact that thouzh not seriously ill, he was still unable to do much walking around outâ€" side. He notited several large and attractive automobiles pass along the streets near the hospital, and he said:â€"‘"‘It would be nice if some of those cars would call at the hospital and take a few of the lonesome econvalescent patients for a little trip outside, the way that they do in some of the city hospitals.‘‘ The idea is one that mo‘cr car owners might consider. Many convalescent patients in the hospital find the time hangs heavy on their hands and they naturally long for a brief trip in the happy outdoors. Soime of the patients are comparative strangers in the town and have few friends here.â€" If any automobile owners could spare the time and effort to show the patients the kindness suggested, it would no doubt be greatly appreciated The kindness would of course have to be arranged in conformance with the hospital rules and regulations and in connection with convalescent patients only that the hospital staff would feel might be benefitted by the outings suegested. In any event the idea is \\orth\ of conmderahon. s In the past week or two there have been many motor parties reaching town from distant points. Of course the motor tourists coming here make a very small proportion of thise visiting New Liskeard and other more southerly centres along the Ferguson highway. This condition will continue until the belt line of roads is The farther along a tourist goes on the trip North the more inclined he is to turn around for the return trip, especially if he encounters a strip of road that is not very passable. All through the jourâ€" ney there is thought present in most cases that the same identical route has to be travelled on the return trip as was made in the journey north. The assurance of new scenes and new points of interest would undoubtedly inâ€" crease the number of tourists coming, this far north. Accordingly the belt line of roads is practically a necessity for this section of the North so far as tourist trade is concerned. At the same time there are many adventurous ones these days who are motoring through to Timmins and finding the jourâ€" nevy well worth while. Something should be done to accommodate and eonâ€" courage these visitors. At the present time there is no proper tourist camp and no plaace where the visitors may secure the information the most of them seem to so anxiously desire. It would appear to be good business on the part of the authorities to provide a motor camp of some sort and also arrange that there should be facilities at the town hall or elsewhere by which the enquiring visitor might secure the facts, figures and information about the town and district that so many appear to desire. New Liskeard has shown how to provide this need in model way. This year Timmins can not hope to equal the facilities provided by New Liskeard, but at least something might be done, so that visitors might not depart with the wrong idea that Timmins has no consideration for their comfort and no care whether they are informâ€" ed about the t(m"n or not. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, AUGUST 2nd, 1928 The daily newspapers du;'ing the pas't. few days have been featuring articles pointing out that the Northern Development Department is now building roads in the North Land at the rate of a mile of road for every day in the year. This has an impressive sound but does not appear so noteworthy when it is remembered that there are over 350,000 square miles in the North Land, and so the article could be paraphrased to read that only one mile a year is being .l')uilt for every thousand square miles to be accommodated. If there is any tendency to be too greatly impressed by figures, the road proâ€" blem of the North will prove overwhelming. In this immense territory the need for roads is so great that the problem can only be successfully met by eonsideration in terms of millions of dollars. Against this idea should be set the fact that every dollar spent wisely in this North Land will be money well invested and will directly and indirectly bring returns of the finest kind. Hon. Mr. Finlayson‘s illustration of the case of Kirkland Lake should be ‘extended to point the moral of the story. The Government spent half a milâ€" tion in and around Kirkland Lake for roads and other purposes, and as Mr. Finlayson points out, the people now have an investment worth $78,000,000 at market prices in the mining industry built up. That is the sort of return that the North Land will give for Government investments here. At Haileybury last weel:'. a y(;ung man came into the hotel there in very proud and happy frame of mind. He told his friend, the hotel clerk, of the valid reason for his special good humour. He was for the second time the proud father of a handsome baby girl. ‘‘A queer coincidence about it,"/ he told his friend, ‘‘is that I just heard that Tunney, the champion, had beatâ€" en Heeney, the challenger, last night, when I received a wire telling me of the birth of the new daughter, and five years ago, just after 1 had heard that Dempsay, the champion, had beaten Firpey, the challenger, I received the wire telling me of the birth of my first little girl."‘ One of the delegates to the Associated Boards meeting at Haileybury, standing nearbhy, spoke up:â€"**Excuse me, young man, but you had hetter watech your step! Some of these times the champion and the challenger will fight to a draw, and you ‘1l be receiving a wire telling you of the birth of twins.‘*‘ News despatches tell of the new l\lbblnf" record made by a bride in a little hamlet in Poland. This young lady is said to have kissed no less than 700 persons in less than four hours. If this remarkable record is true, that bride should be induced to come to Canada to live. That is the sort of citizen The Toronto Globe publ;shed last week an article suggesting that there is more than one T. N. 0. railway. The Globe tells of a railway freight ear reaching Toronto recently and bearing on its sides the letters T. N. O., these letters representing the name, * Texas and New Orleans,"‘ a subsidiary company of the Southern Pacific Railway. The people of Ontario, however, will still feel that there is only one real T. N. 0. Railway,â€"the Temisâ€" kaming and Northern Ontario. It has given wonderful help in pioneering the richest fourâ€"fifths of this province, and toâ€"day is giving unexcelled serâ€" vice to the public. It has proved that public ownership may work suecessâ€" fully. The real T. N. 0. gives a service that is not excelled by many railâ€" roads, and the T. N. 0. railway is also one of those rare railroads these days,â€"one that pays a profit. #: x *# « Complaint has been mad: this week by several using the road from Cochrane to Timmins in regard to a strip of road covered with sharp stones near Cochâ€" rane. For nearly nine miles, from Cochrane to the end of the Beaverbrook Kmits, t\ ere is a stretch covered with sharpâ€"edged rock that makes travelling monster postage stamps necessary Thursday, Aug. 2nd 1928 Member of the Canadian Woekly Newspapers Association Published Every Thursday by in this country to deal with those placardly Confederation issue of GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER Advancee Subscription Rates : ' $2.00 per year United States â€" $3.00 per year TIMMINS, ONTARIO. Telephones Owner and Publisher Residerse 70 a misery and cuts the heart out of automobile tires. Some of the stones seem razorâ€"edged, according to the travellers using the road, and those complaining fail to see why this type of sharp rock should be used to finish a road in these modern times. To accommolate the public in every way, considerable diploâ€" macy and common sense are necessary in public works. It would appear that the exorvrcise of these qualities would forbid the use of sharp stones for road finishing in this day when automobiles are in such frequent use and when tires that cut all too easily eost so much money. Two of the delegates to the meeting of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade at Haileybury last week enjoyed a genuine treat and gathered mueh useful and pleasing information about one of the handsomest towns of the North Land, when they accepted the kindly invitation of Messrs E. F. and A. E. Stephenson, of The New Liskeard Speaker, to motor to New Liskeard and see the town and its industries. Mr. E. F. Stephenson is a young man of 83 who has done much through the newspaper and otherwise to make New Lisâ€" keard the splendid town it is toâ€"day. It is only fitting that he and his genial son ‘‘Allie‘‘ should take a just pride in the town they have helped to make into a very happy and desirable place to live and work. In the New Liskeard of toâ€"day they have just cause for pride. Those who knew it years ago will be delighted with the progress and development it has made. As a residential town it has few equals in this North Land, being tidy and attractive, and with fine homes and some of the most pleasing lawns and gardens such as those of Mr.E. F. Stephenson, Mr. A. J. Kennedy, M.P.P. Mr. J . Clark and others are pictured proofs of the wonders of the North Land as a vegetable and flower carden. The roses blooming in Mr. Stephenson‘s garden and the pansies at Mr. Kennedy‘s are worth a journey to sce. The potatoes grown at Liskeard would make Owld Oireland green with envy while the other vegetables are equally thriving. As a residential town, New Liskeard toâ€"day is most appeal-l ing, but it has also a number of important industries. Among these may be noted the [Wabi Iron Works, sending its products all over the country; the‘ immense plant of the Hillâ€"Clarkâ€"Francis firm of contractors with extensive buildings and expensive machinery for all sorts of woodâ€"working; the canning factory, which under the management of Mr. L. Orser, is making an enviable name for the superiority of its goods, a visit to the clean and upâ€"toâ€"date facâ€" tory with its modern system and equipment and carefulness showing why the reputation grows. Another new industry for the Creamery town is the diaâ€" mond drill factory now being established. It may be noted in passing that The Speaker has kept pace with the growth of the town, having an upâ€"toâ€" date plant that would do eredit to any of the larger towns of the South, the equipment including a linotype and the latest in automatic presses. The especial point of interest at New Liskeard, however, is the New Liskeard Beach and Tourists‘ Camp.:. The beach and camp will give New Liskeard a large measure of very favourable publicity and in addition they must give the people of the town unlimited pleasure and happiness. As a pleasure reâ€" sort for the summer, New Liskeard Beach is rarely excelled. A beautiful beach, the expanse of water, a park with the most attractive of shade trees, a bandstand, a baseball diamond, a football pitch, a large grandstand for spectators, an excellent race course, (and some fine hourses to put on it) â€" these are a few of the delightful features of New Liskeard Beach. The peoâ€" ple of the town and visitors alike must find it a joy indeed. The tourist camp at New Liskeard should be of special interest to Timmins people because this town needs some accommodation along this line, and New Liskeard has set a standard well worth noting. . Visitors to the camp fairly rave about it, and they are fully justified. It is quite close to the beach, but so gituated as to be entirely private. Signs direct the tourists to the camp, and a permanent caretaker sees that their needs are supplied. There is a very comfortable and convenient kitchen with two ranges and a water heater, Alongside this kitchen are three little cabins, furnished, where tourists coming late or tired out may sleep for the night on good beds and with the conveniences of the ordinary hotel. Another small building houses two baths, toilets, ete. *Tourâ€" ists will be well pleased, indeed, with the impressions given about New Lisâ€" keard by its tourist camp, and the nearby beach will add to the good impresâ€" sions already created. A dance pavilion is one of the special attractions at the beach. In this large and handsome pavilion dances are held three evenâ€" ings a week during the summer, the New Liiskeard Band providing the good QUALIFVING ROUND IN NORTHERN ONTARIO GOLF Croatian â€" Orchestra, of Schumacher, all dressed in their national Croation A party of 57 young people sent out on tour of Canada by the Allied Newspapers of Great Britain under the plan of Empire Travel and Schoâ€" larship will visit Timmins over the weekâ€"end.
