It has been known here for some time that there have been ‘asses conducted in Timmins, for inâ€" ~~ance, for Ukrainian children and the general belief has been that the youngâ€" sters are not taught loyalty to Canada at these classes. At the Ukrainian hall here there are pctures of Trotsky and Lenin, or there were some time ago, and these pictures were thought by some to fill the places of the British King and Constitution. The Ukrainâ€" ians have conducted themselves in orâ€" derly way and there have not been any complaints in regard to improper presâ€" sure put on other foreigners by them. Accordingly, while many question the loyalty of some of the more active Ukrainians, they have been given the benefit of any doubt and have gone their way unmolested. It may be notâ€" ed that on a couple of occasions when the Ukrainians gave concerts in town to which Canadians generally were inâ€" vited, they had to be practically forced to allow the playing of the British Naâ€" tional Anthem. In Sudbury, however, the UkÂ¥ainians recently set themselves right as citizens of Canada. At a reâ€" cent mass meeting of the members and adherents of the Greek Catholic Church at Sudbury a strong resolution was passed and subscribed to, declarâ€" ing the loyalty of the Ukrainian Canâ€" adians to the King and their adopted country. The resolution affirmed their fidelity to the King, loyalty to Canâ€" adian laws and their church and reâ€" pudiated all forms of Communism and Boishevism among their people. It stated that they wished to take their place as citizens in Canada and had learned from experience the mistakes of Communistic organizations. "In future,‘ read the resolution, "we wish to better our lot in the spirit of the Canadian constitution." Of the 63 Ukrainians present, 60 are said to have signed the declaration, the other three leaving the meeting. The declaration was left open for further signatures and since the meeting more than 20 additional names of those not present at the meeting have been addâ€" ed. Those signing the declaration are chieflv the heads of families, and form an important part of the Ukrainians in Sudbury district.

So far as conserâ€" vation of timber is concerned practiâ€" cally everybody is in favour of it, exâ€" cept an occasional shortâ€"sighted perâ€" son who is able only to see some imâ€" mediate selfish advantage. But the point made by The Northland Post that settlement and extensive conserâ€" vation can not be carried out together in the same immediate area seems to be sound logic. It seems to The Adâ€" vance that the Dept. of Lands and Forâ€" ests struck the only dual plan of forest conservation and settlement in the scheme announced some time ago when areas in the Haliburton, Muskoka and other regions were taken out of setâ€" tlement and given back to forest proâ€" duction, while effort was made to Suggestion That Colonization be Placâ€" ed Under Control of Minister of Agriculture _ But if Mr. Ferguson thinks that the settier should be inciaded in any programme looking toward conservaâ€" ‘tion of forest reserves, it is perfectly useless to attempt any land settlement here looking toward agricultural deâ€" velopment, and those settlers already here might as well leave the countryâ€" forest conservation and farming do not tiement and given Dack to 10re°St proâ€" duction, while effort was made to transplant the farmers on the poor lands suited only for forests to the clay belt of this North and thus to encourâ€" age and assist the settlement of land eminently fitted for agriculture. In its reference to Hon. Mr. Finlayâ€" son‘s refusal to consider the reverting to 160â€"acre farms, The Northland Post makes another point that will likely meet with very general approval.

It is quite true that on many ocâ€" casions disastrous conflagrations resultâ€" ed from injudicious burning of slash to clear the farm, but this is coming more and more under control thanks to the good work of the fire rangers. Others did noat ftop to slash burning but atâ€" tempted to clear their farms by simply burning off the whole bush. This can only be prevented by assuring the setâ€" tler fair treatment in the sale of his pulpwood. So that in both cases the remedy lies entirely in the Governâ€" ment‘s hands. Why then single out the farmer for the blame. greatly made. There will be a feeling, perhaps, that The Northland Post is a little severe upon Hon. Mr. Finlayson, but in regard to this it must be admitted that the Minister of Lands and Forests has tempted the growth of this spirit.> He has had the unfortunate tendency to inake sweeping statements that can not always be substantiated, and to take a sort of sweeping attitude that is difficult to maintain. Some of his statements in regard to the settlers have roused considerable resentment. His sweeping attitude in regard to the 80â€"acre farm has also been objected to by many who have no interests to serve except the good of the North as they see it. "According to press reports, Hon. Wm. Finlayson, Minister of Lands Forests, in introducing the Pulpwood Act in the Legislature, stated that "the farmer was probably our greatest ofâ€" fender in the destruction of timber." This needs some qualification, which may or may not have been given by Mr. Finlayson in the course of his two hour speech introdvcing the Act. Unâ€" fortunately no complete record is availâ€" able, like Hansard at Ottawa, to get a verbatim report and we have to rely therefore on the more or less and sometimes very less, accurate reéports of the Toronto dailies. "We may of course be wrong in our assumption but the North can hardly be blamed for looking with grave susâ€" picion on anything which Mr. Finlayâ€" son nroposes in connection with conâ€" servation of timber, as it affects the development of our agricultural lands here, and therefore, colonization in general. So far he certainly has no:t shown aptitude to conciliate the setâ€" tlers here and ameliorate their hardâ€" ships, especially in his persistence to kee=~ the 80â€"acre lots and the rather harsh cutting regulations for settlers‘ pulpwood. We are naturally only conâ€" cerned with the bonafide settler. On the other hand he has tied up immense tracts in timber concessions for indusâ€" trial expansion here and has been equally lavish with the power resources here, without, in the first case, ensurâ€" ing the settler a fair treatment on the part of paper mills and in the second case, protecting the municipalities here as far as power rates are concerned. However, Hon. Mr. Finlayson has done much for the advantage of the North and so in entitled to some measâ€" ure of patience and consideration. With this in mind, the editorial from The Northland Post may be read with interest, as follows:â€" North Land Has Been a Leader in Using Aircraft for Various Purâ€" poses. Airships HMHave Proved Their Worth. GREAT PROGRESS IN USE DF AIRSHIPS IN THE DOMINION For a dozen years or so The Advancse has been striving to create special inâ€" terest in aircraft work in this North Land. No other section of this counâ€" try gave as noteworthy a proportion to the air services during the war as the North Land did when population and other conditions were considered. This was one reason why the North should have a special interest in air work durâ€" ing peace time. On account of the imâ€" mensity of this Northâ€"the iong disâ€" tances between the established comâ€" munities, and the long distance from the bigger towns to the outlying secâ€" tions where various forms of riches were believed to existâ€"the airship seemed to be especially adapted to use in this country.

In this connection The Toronto Mail and Emâ€" pire recently said editorially:â€" "Development in civil aviation has ;followed rather different lines in Canâ€" !ada than in some other countries. In European countries efforts were directed i after the great war to the utilization of airplanes for the transportation of pasâ€" sengers, mail and certain classes of ‘goods. These efforts have resulted in | the establishment by Imperial Airways Limited, the British air transportation company, and by like corporations in Germany and other lands. of \a network of air routes over Europs. In the United States the most spectacâ€" ular move in the employment of airâ€" planes was the establishment of air mail routes that have now been exâ€" seemed in this to The trained cost. The use of Porcupine Lake would provide an almost ideal landing place for the ordinary type of aircraft used in this North. All the several landing places in the North have been proâ€" vided by the Government or by private companies. It is interesting to note the growth of the use of the airship in Canada "We are entirely in sympathy with forest conservation, but we want to see it applied to such territory which is not open for land settlement. Let the Government set apart large tracts of land for this purpose and then decide on what lands shall be opened for agâ€" ricultural development and for the latâ€" ter keep out any interference fron: forest regulations, since they are not agricultural lands until the forest is cleared off. "It comes back to our previous conâ€" tention. This north country will never become a land of happy farmers unâ€" til the administration of such lands is taken out of the hands of the Deâ€" nartment of Porests and Lands and is riven to a separate colonization adâ€" preferably under the head {f the Minister of Agricuiture."

In order to get the agriâ€" cultural lands which are opened for settlement under cultivation, it is neâ€" cessary to get rid of the bush. A ten or twenty acre clearing surrounded by bush will cnever make a farm as it would be impossible to overcome recurâ€" ring frost periods. Only large clearâ€" ings, well cultivated, can change unâ€" favourable climatic conditions here, the bush acting as a natural refrigeraâ€" tor. tended, east tinent and "In Canada the earliest postâ€"war use of airplanes did not come under the observation of the great majority of the people. Aircraft were not immeâ€" diately selected as means for furnishâ€" ing a transportation service more rapid than that supplied by the railways. The machines were employed by govâ€" ernments in the work of protecting forests from damage or destruction by fire. The Ontario government, indeed, found aircraft so helpful in that work that it organized an air service of its own to detect and assist in fighting forest fires in the northern part of the province. Airplanes were found to be he‘nful in the surveying of tracts of woodland. They have been employed, too, by the topographical survey of Canada in the taking of aerial photoâ€" ; that 1ay , and west north and boundary now across south as well the been « the c from MexiC n ~â€" he an CALEDONITAN soOCIETY OF SOCIAL EVENXING A social evening under the auspices of the Caledonian Society of Tiimnmins was held in the Hollinger Recreation hall on Wednesday evening, Feb. 20th, and a very enjoyable evening was spent by a large attendance of members and friends.
