Toronto and Kirkland Lake School Pupils Present Jokes In the last issue of The Northern News, "Scribblings," the column conâ€" ducted by the pupils on the high school at Kirkland Lake, prints a number of jokes that probably indicate the type of humour that appeals to Kirkland Lake high school pupils. Here are two or three samples. First, this one:â€" Ernmest Kirsch, "Is my face dirty or is it my imagination." Jack Tommey, "I don‘t know about your imagination, but your face is clean." Here is another one:â€""First the world was flat, then it was round, and now it is crooked." And this is still another:â€" Dick, "I call my girl Spearmint," Jim Reid, "Because she is wrigly?" Dick, "No because she is always after meals.‘ Two more would be too much, so here is just one other one:â€"â€" «+ Miss Cainâ€""Oliver, why did you negâ€" lect your Latin lesson last night?" s 61iver Carbonneauâ€"‘"Please, I had such a sore throat I could hardly speak English." Mr. Mace is twenty and a half years old and was one of the young scholars who came to Canada with "The Young Ambassadors," and since his return from that tour has been engaged as a cost clerk in London. He was educated at the Westminster City school, Lonâ€" don and he studied and completed the correspondence course in Canadian farâ€" ming which is conducted by the overâ€" seas offices of the Canadian National Railways. Frederick Thomas Mace, of 5240 Old Kent Road, London, says a Montreal despatch, has decided to come to Canâ€" ada to take up farming and has been backed by the Colonization Department of the Canadian National Railways at London, to travel under the ten pound rate. Mr..Mace will leave on the "Anâ€" dania," Cunard liner, on March 16th, and having landed in Canada wlil proâ€" ceed to Winnipeg and will be placed from that point. Mace was one of a party of six Young Ambassadors who made a special tour to a pionger‘s home just out of Edmonâ€" ton. The owner of this farm was an Englishman who went out to Canada with his wife and two children under the 3,000 families scheme in 1924. When he reached Canada, he had only a few pounds in his pocket. After four years, this man has paid 500 pounds off the total purchase price of 1,200 pounds, and lived and kept his family entirely on the sale of poultry, pigs and produce of his garden. The proceeds of his crops went to the reâ€" payment of the loan. What Mace heard and saw, fired his ambition, and he decided then nud there to himself become a Canadian farmer, when the opportunity offered. It was due entirely to his visit to this pioneer farm home, that the decision was made, for it indicated to him more clearly than did visits to agricultural colleges and model farms in other parts of Canada, what could be done proâ€" vided an emigrant had determinration and the grit to stick it. The name of the farmer in the Edâ€" monto district to whom we have reâ€" ferred is Albert Boshier, a native of Wokingham, whose farm is 20 miles from Edmanton and consists of 159 acres, 85 of which are under cultivaâ€" tion. Formerly he was employed as grocer‘s assistant in Wales.

QNTARIO GIVES INVESTORS T0 ENCOURAGE CAMPING A "RUN FOR THER MONEY" _ AT ALL LUMBER CAMPS Premier Ferguson Refers to Aim Province to Assure Square Deal for Those Backing Mining Venâ€" tures The average good sport is contented if he get "a run for his money." Manyi a man who has lost money in a venâ€"| ture has honestly said that it was not| the loss of the money that he objected . to but the fact that the dice were loaded against him. In investments, as mi lines of sport, the public (who is after | all a pretty good sort of scout) will take losses along with profits without ; undue kick, provided everything has, been fair and square. In mining inâ€" vestments everyone knows there is element of risk, the same as in other businesses. The proper spirit in which to take up a mining investment is to be , ready to lose if things turn out badly, | knowing that if things turn out well | the profits will be good. The appeal | in mining matters rests in the chance.i The one thing specially rsented is the idea that someone has taken away the chance. In recent years the Onâ€" tario Government has been bending its efforts to see that everyone has a fair chance in mining that the dice are not loaded, and that' the game is fairly played. This at-. titude of the Government is indicated in an article written by Hon. G. Hoâ€" ward Ferguson, Premier of Ontario, for the Exploration Number of The Northâ€"| ern Miner last week. Hon.. Mr. Ferâ€"| guson says:â€" | "The Mining Act embodies the policy of the Government with regard to minâ€" ing. The administration of mining lands being in the main through the local mining recorders, isâ€"decentralized and freed from any suspicion of poliâ€" tical ~or other improper influences. Reasonable staking and working conâ€" ditions are attached to the taking up of mining land, and the price is moderâ€" ate. The industry is practically withâ€" out taxation, except on the profits made by the mines. The tax is a graded one, and about oneâ€"half of the tax collected is returned to the municiâ€" palities in which the mines are situated, to be used for local purposes. "The prospector is recognized as the foundation stone of the mining indusâ€". try. In consequence, the Government‘s policy is to encourage and assist him.. It does this by sending its geologists every year into the mineral areas, especially newlyâ€"discovered ones, to describe the rock formations and map the geology. These reports and maps are issued free of charge. A prospecâ€" tor, on staking out and recording a claim and on filing his work report vyear by year, is entitled in all to twelve free coupons, which enable him to have as many samples assayed by the Govâ€" ernment assay office free of charge. Classes for the training of prospectors are held every winter in the mining centres, where elementary tuition in mineralogy, geology, chemistry, etc., are given gratis, and evening lectures are delivered, illustrated by slides, on geological subjects and particularly on the geology of the local district. The Government maintains in Cobalt a testing laboratory for the assaying and sampling of ores, and at which it purâ€" chases parcels of gold taken out in the development of prospects. A blueprintâ€" ing establishment is maintained at North Bay through which are provided blueprints showing lands taken up or open in the mineral townships and and which may be had from the mining recorders at a nominal fee. In the assay office maintained at Toronto assays are made at reduced fees, and samples are identified free of charge. "In connection with mining and other companies the stringert regulaâ€" tions of the Security Frauds Prevention Act are designed to protect the public from fraudulent promotions. It is imâ€" possible to eliminate the element of hazard in mining, or to prevent peovnle from investing their money as they think best, but in every reasonable way the law endeavours to give people a "run for their money." When a comâ€" pany begins to operate its mine, the Mining Act insists upon every precauâ€" tion for safeguarding health and life. An efficient corps of inspectors is mainâ€" tained to see that these precautions are observed. Recently a disease callâ€" ed "silicosis‘" has appeared, particularly in some of the gold mines. Legislaâ€" tion has been provided to combat this disease and to see that miners affiicted with tuberculosis, which almost invariâ€" ably follows an advanced stage of siliâ€" cosis. are not allowed to work underâ€" _ Try this flavoury blend when next you order tea *sYA i# * * SR ‘Fresh from the gardens‘ THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO of New Legislation to Protect Forests anc Encourage Recreation and Pleasâ€" ure in the Woods. In the Ontario Legislature last week Mr. Sinclair, leader of the Liberal party opposition in the House, showed a disâ€" position last week to be very critical in reference to bills presented for apâ€" proval by Hon. Mr. Finlayson, Minisâ€" ter of Lands and Forests. When Mr. Finlayson‘s proposed proâ€" vincial forest act was before house in committee, Mr. Sinclair led an atâ€" fack on some of its clauses, particularly section 9, which he called the "playâ€" ground section," and section 6 which provides for the appointment of a proâ€" vincial forester. "This says that the provincial foresâ€" ter shall preserve the forests according to the best forestry practice," said Mr. Sinclair. "It‘s what I called before, loose legislation. Who knows what best forestry practice means?" In reply to further questioning by the Liberal leader., Mr. Finlayson statâ€" ed that no choice had been made of a man to fill the position. Mr. Finl'a:,;son: "Those are wellâ€" recognized forestry terms." "We have discussed the matter with the forestry board," he stated, "and several names have been mentioned, but no selection yet made. We have several competent men in the departâ€" ment but they are engaged in technical work. One difficulty has been that we lost some of our best men because the newsprint companies are interested in this sustained yield basis plan and have offered them large salaries to go to them. This, however, is not so evident as they are beginning to refrain from offering big salaries." Mr. Sinclair: "About this playground clause. It seems to me that in passing this section it should be altered to not include what the minister says is not intended but which it does include at present, namely the summer hotel busiâ€" ness. Under it the minister can allow tourist camps or anything he chooses." Mr. Finlayson: "We are anxious that the bill should meet the approval of every member in the house and we will change it to suit the member if it does not affect the principle of the act." The bill was then carried by the committee with the amendment. Mr. Finlayson‘s proposed act to amend the Assessment Act was also carried. Unâ€" der it provision is made for the appeal of a property owner of a summer home or persons in povertyâ€"stricken circumâ€" ~stances to the local court of revision for a reâ€"assessment of the property ‘instead of appeal to a country judge. Mr. Finlayson stated then that the section allowing the setting aside of areas in he proposed forests would be altered. The line reading, "or other parts thereof for shooting, fishing camping, recreational, instructional or other purpose," should have instrucâ€" tional or cther" struck out and "or" inserted before the word "recreational." Mr. Sinclair: "You are going to leave ‘recreational‘ in there?" Mr. Finlayson: "IL want it in there. We are anxious to encourage camping. There are large numbers of old lumber camps in those areas and many people some of them members of this house, come to us and say they want to use those camps for shooting and camping We plan to fix up the buildings and keep them in repair and thus gradually start a system whereby we can say you can‘t go on crown lands without a perâ€" mit. Then we will know who are on crown lands. On the back of the perâ€" mit will be a copy of the fire regulaâ€" tions and thus they will be drawn more forcibly to the attention of campers." "This is not a partisan matter," he concluded. "The preservation of our forests is a far greater matter than any party‘s success." ground and be a menace to their felâ€" lowâ€"miners "The mining industry of the Proâ€" vince is expanding with rapid strides. Ontario leads the world in the producâ€" tion of nickel, it is third on the list of goldâ€"producing communities, and it has recently been shown to be unexpectedly rich in copper. Last year the value of minerals produced amounted to $100,â€" 000.000, an advance of $10,000,000, or 000,000, an advance of ten per cent. over 1927." Barrie Examiner:â€"The skiers have finished their long trek and the mushâ€" ers are on their way. Now if someone will only come through from the north on an oldâ€"fashioned jumper we‘ll call it a winter. s Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"The noâ€" tion that a national highway should not be built because it might take business away from the Canadian National railâ€" ways may be accepted gravely. But suppose the idea had been put forware on behalf of the C.P.R.? Undoubtedly it would have provoked general laughâ€" ter.

Purposes At the present time Kirkland Lake is considering the matter of better fire protection. Some time ago Fire Chief Matheson recommended motorâ€"drawn equipment and other improvements, but no action has been taken as yet by the council. The Northern News thinks the council should act promptly in this matter, and this would certainâ€" ly appear to be the line to take in the interest of the people. Fire Chief Borâ€" land, of Timmins, whose successful reâ€" cord in this North Land in the matter of fire fighting and fire prevention makes his opinion of decided value would not only recommend motorâ€"driâ€" ven equipment, but also the best obâ€" tainable in this line as the most ecoâ€" nomical and profitable in the long run. Also, he would no doubt urge the value of chemical tanks on the motorâ€"driven equipment. For anything but a big fire the chemical tanks are invaluable. They put out a fire quicker than it can be handled with the ordinary hose and with only a very small proportion of damage from water ioss. Years ago Timmins spent money freely on fire equipment, and this, with the fact that the town has had a good brigade and a firstâ€"class chief, resulted in the comâ€" parative freedom enjoyed by this town in the matter of fires. In this regard Timmins has the best record of any town in the North Land, so any money spent was profitably and sensibly exâ€" pended. Kirkland Lake will not regret any money spent for fire equipment. If the town council fellows exactly the recommendations of Fire Chief Matheâ€" son, they will not go far astray. ‘Toronto Globe:â€""The Communists want freedom to talk as they like, and the Doukhobors in British Columbia want freedom to dress as they like. But the law in notn cases says there is a limit tnat must not be passed in this country."
