By the inauguration of the correspondence course ‘plan and the travelling schools, Premier Ferguson assured to all boys and girls in this province a chance for education. Previous to the adoption of these pians the children of settlers in sparselyâ€"settled areas did not enjoy this opporâ€" tunity. There were many cases where the settlers were not able to build and maintain new schools in convenient locaâ€" tions, and existing schools were too distant. Toâ€"day over six hundred pupills are taking the correspondence courses and probably as many more benefitting from the travelling school cars, That means that a thousand or more childâ€" ren, at least, have a chance for education who would otherâ€" wise have been debarred by circumstances from this great benefit. If Premier Ferguson had conferred no other blessâ€" ing on this country than this effective interest in the eduâ€" cation of all he would be worthy of the most grateful ap-’ preciation by this province. And it should be notedâ€" hati the prompt manner‘in which he worked out the plans w en | the need was presented to him made the gift to the youngâ€" sters of the province of double value. The same prompt interest is being given by the Premier to the need of the| farmers and settlers of this North Land at the present moment, and The Advance believes that effective and| speedy action will follow. There is a feeling of confidence‘ that the Premier will find a way, and not waste much time finding it. Mr. A. F. Kenning, M.P.P., recently interviewed Hon. Mr. Ferguson and explained to him the serious situ-‘ ation in which many farmers and settlers in this North now find â€"themselves, On account of the unusual amount of rain they had been unable to save their crops and this to| many was a vital matter. It meant in some cases facing| actual starvation unless relief came. It meant to many others the necessity for deserting their holdings and thus: losing the strenuous labour of years. The settlers were not asking for charity, but they would welcome some form of . temporary assistance. Mr. Kenning believed that the need. eould be met by the extension of winter work on the roads. This would give the settlers paying work that would tide The people of all Ontario should be proud of the success of the people‘s own railwayâ€"the Temiskaming and Northâ€" ern Ontario Railwayâ€"which has just concluded the most successful year in its history. This railway is one of the few truly successful railways on the continent. It not only| is paying its way on profits from operation, but it is also giving the public the best of service and extending its mileâ€" age and its accommodation to meet the needs of this expanding and developing new country. The North Land‘ should be particularly proud of the success of the T. â€"N. 0. because the progress of each is so bound up in the other that it is difficult to prove definitely whether the North Land‘s advancement is mainly due to the T. N. O., or the T. N. O.‘s success follows as a natural consequence on the development of the North. The North is pleased with the T. N. O. Railway and the T. N.

N. O., or the T. N. O.‘s success follows as a natural consequence on the development of the North. The North is pleased with the T. N. O. Railway and the T. N. O. is so devoted to the North, that neither of them is likely to stop to argue out the matter. It might be well, however, to put on record again the very general feeling in this North that the T. N. O. is doing its part in the building up of this country, and giving excellent service. The commission and the stafifs and the Government that backs them up are all entitled to full credit. GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER mThursday, Nov._M§ Deer is very plentiful this year in the area from Kenny to near North Bay. This is pleasing news, but the accomâ€" panying reportâ€"that the wolves are more numerous than the deerâ€"is not so pleasing. The wolves are slaughtering the deer and it would seem that both can not live in this North Land. The wolves vary their activities by occasionâ€" ally stopping the slaughter of the deer to kill sheep on the farms in the district. A week or so ago a farmer near Powassan lost several sheep through the depredations of the wolves. Other similar losses are reported from the district where game now abounds. There seems to be a very general feeling that methods are urgently needed to destroy the wolves. Many feel that the Government made a misâ€" take in reducing the bounty on wolves and that the bounty should be materially increased so that it would be worth while for many to make a regular business of slaughtermg the wolves. The wolves are making a regular business of slaughtering deer. The deer are worth more than the wolves and the extra money required for adequate bounty payments. A young English scientist, a professor in one of the Old Country colleges, makes the claim that he has discovered a principle whereby he can overcome gravity. Prof. Leaâ€" eock, of McGill University, Montreal, long ago developed a force whereby gravity was overcome at the will of the Canadian professor. =*Standards of living are constantly changing. And there are also different standards among different people. The in wonderment she asked the maid what prompted her to think that there was any lack of money. "Well, you ain‘t got either a piano or a radio," replied the maid. For a minute the lady could find no words for reply. Then she asked the, maid if her own home possessed either radio or piano. "Oh, sure," said the maid, "we have both!" A buyer of cattle who was travelling on the train the other day made the rather startling statement that cattle purchase by the canning companies are not inspected AO assure freedom from disease. Cattle purchased by the buyers are graded, the lowest grade being what is termed "canners." These "canners" are utilized for the making of canned meats. All sorts of regulations and restrictions apply in regard to the condition of the cattle to be sold in the ordinary way for meat, but according to the cattle buyer anything will do for a "canner." If this is the fact the law should be amended to protect the public health. It may be quite true that the canning concerns may themselves guard against improper meat being used, but there is alâ€" ways the possibility that one or two concerns will not be careful enough. The law should be such that no concern new maid said to the lady of the house:â€""I guess you peoâ€" ple aren‘t very well off, are ye?" As the lady of the house did not feel there were any evidences of poverty about the place, and happily knew of no reason why there should be, can prejudice the public health by the utilization‘of improâ€" per meat. If everything is all right at present, the canners need not object to Government inspection that will assure only sound and healthy animals being utilized. Thursday, Nov. 8th, 1928 Eho Yorrupine Aduance | Published Every Thursday by: GEO LAKE, Owner anda Publisher Subscription Rates: $2.00 per year United States .. $3.00 per year | _ Last week Mr. D. Barrette had the illâ€"luck to lose two particularly fine dogs. They were good sleigh dogs and big goodâ€"humoured gentlemanly fellows. They died by the §poison route, some unsportsmanlike individual either deâ€" 'liberately poisoning these valuable dogs, or else carelessly leaving poison within their reach. It is much to be reâ€" gretted that affairs like this should happen. The poisoning | of dogs is a particularly mean form of crime. It has all the \attributes of the‘ft with the added meanness of illâ€"using good animals. Also, it is usually done in cowardly fashion. It is to be regrettei that some of these poisoners can not be caught and properly punished. them over for the year. Incidentally it would mean great benefit to the country at large, because the big need here is for roads and more roads. In suceeding years the imâ€"} proved roads and the new roads would mean additional advantage to the settlers. Mr. Kenning developed an exâ€" cellent outline of a plan that appears to promise great adâ€" vantage f@nerally. The Premier was very sympathetic and is taking the matter up, and the general opinion will be that there will be prompt and effective action that will give the settlers a fair chance to continue their pioneering work and make good. * 1 At the present time there appears to be a number of apâ€" peals to the public for funds to maintain good causes. It may be regrettable that several such appeals should follow in close succession, but the public may well consider first of all the worthiness of each cause and then the fact that the particular causes referred to do not make frequent apâ€" peals, but strive to carry on their good work with the very minimum of annoyance to the public in the way of calls for money. No matter whenâ€"~an appeal is made for the Children‘s Aid Society work, the public should feel that they are giving to a worthy cause and give as generously as pos-| sible. The Children‘s Aid has done and is doing a great work for better citizenship. It will appeal to most for its| humanitarian features, but the business and the patrioticl sides should not be overlooked. Giving a chance for edu-i cation and proper homes to children, unfortunately placed by circumstances and conditions is surely good patriotism.{ The work is also good business because it tends to make, creditable and selfâ€"supporting citizens out of boys and girls, who, without the efforts made by such agencies as the Children‘s Aid, would in all probability be burdens on the§ community, if not menaces to society. Of the children dled by the Children‘s Aid in the province of Ontario notl one per cent turn out badly. The chances are that with-1 out the C.A.S. effort there would be little hope for more . than a small percentage of these unfortumrate children turnâ€". ing out well. The plan of the C.A.S. is briefly to have every child in a good hime. If there is a case where a child‘s home is not suitable, effort is patiently made to have the parents realize their duty and improve the home conditions to give the youngster a fair chance. If the home can not be thus improved, another better home is found for the child. The general effect of this plan is to benefit the community as well as the particular youngsters coming to the attention of the Children‘s Aid. Elsewheéere in this issue will be found further references to the work of the Childâ€" ren‘s Aid in this district. Next week a thorough canvass for membership is to be made throughout the district with a view to raising funds for the paying off of the $1750.00 inâ€" debtedness on the Shelter account and the providing of the necessary funds for carrying on the work for the ensuing year, so that no more appeals may be necessary for twelve months or more. It is now about eighteen months since the last public appeal was made, though in the meantime a new Shelter has been built, and paid for, with the exception of the amount noted. Groups of ladies in the town and district are generously giving their time and ability to the work of making the canvass. These canvassers should be given kindly welcome by each one called upon, and donaâ€" tions should be made as generous as possible. All the causes appealing at this time for public support are worthy ones, but the Children‘s Aid, by virtue of the work attempted and the good accomplished, merits special consideration. Some people are complaining because the new liquor permits require that applicants for this precious little bookâ€" let. tell where they are employed, if any. Why should any man hesitate to give such information in such a case? It is true that it is an embarrassing question for many men who particularly desire permits but would have difficulty, or worse, in expressing on paper their real employment. No doubt it is to check up on just such people that the inâ€" formation referred to is desired. There was a police officer here some years ago who used to fill out the arrest forms with facts that did not evade the issue. Often, for exâ€" ample, the line asking for ‘"occupation" would be filled in by the word, "blindpigger," "tin horn gambler," and so on. These words in each case told the truth. . No other true reply could be made. The information was only for the eyes of the police, so no complaint was ever made in the matter. Some of the objectors to the requirements of the liquor permit application may find that "occupation" is a difficult thing for them to describe truthfully and politely at the same time. The clause, however, is an excellent one from the standpoint of the law. The liquor board should not only insist that "occupation‘" be stated, but they should check up on it and see that it is truthfully told. N.B.â€"The murderer of Inspector Constable, of Cochrane has not yet been brought to justice. ' In this issue a gentleman advertises for the return of a gate lost, strayed or stolen on Hallowe‘en. This gentleman has hunted high and low for that gate, but can find no trace or track of it. Now that Hallowe‘en is over he feels that he needs his gate and is entitled to his gate. He would like the party or parties playing the Hallowe‘en prank to return that gate, or at least give him some clue as to where he should look for it. Most people will agree with the fairâ€" ness of this. The prankâ€"players have had their sport and now the owner wants his gate. The stealing of gates is an old beâ€"whiskered Hallowe‘en trick. It has been played so often as to be too common for words. It would be an oriâ€" ginal thing, however, if the gateâ€"stealers would return that gate in response to the appeal. That would be something new and striking and would give the touch of pleasant oriâ€" ginality to the performance. When the gateâ€"owner sugâ€" gests that the gate was stolen by young boys, The Advance is not so sure he is on fair ground. He admits he dag not see the gateâ€"taking and did not discover any boys about his lot on Hallowe‘en. He saw a number of lads on street about eleven o‘clock, he says, but this is contrary to the experience of other observers. One man about town comâ€" mented this week to The Advance on the fact that after the Community Hallowe‘en event all the boys and girls went home. There were few tricks played, ‘@and those few were by older fellows, and even these older prankâ€"players were handicapped by the fact that they felt that anything they did could not be blamed on the children because the childâ€" ren were not running around town this Hallowe‘en. The Community Hallowe‘en event was a very complete and graâ€" tifying ‘success. Perfection in the matter will about have been reached if the gentleman responsible for the loss of that gate will see at once to its return to its bereaved owner, who, naturally feels that to get anywhere this winter he will need a gate.

This week Ensign and Mrs. John Bond received word from Salvation Army headquarters that their new charge wil be Rhodes Avenue corps, Toronto. This new charge for Ensign Bond is in the East Toronto division and is a promotion that all here will be pleased to note, though greatly reâ€" gretting the necessity for the departâ€" ure of Ensign and Mrs. Bond from Timmins where they have accomplishâ€" ed so much good.
