LAND SETTLEMENT STIL WAITS ON PROPER ROADS On innumerable occasions The Adâ€" vance has pointed out the imperative need for roads for settlers in this disâ€" trict. Without roads the settler has litle chance. He finds it necessary to have a proper road to get into town with <«ny produce he may grow, and the is equally necessary for him to t in supplies to his farm. The questfon of roads for settlers has done more to hold back development of the North than any other single factor. The Northern Tribune last week carried an editorial on this matter. This ediâ€" torial deals with the quesiion from a great many angles and it is well to judge the stand of the people from the attitude adopted by The Northern Triâ€" bune. The Tribune says:â€" Settler Marooned in the Bush has Yery Difficult Time Getting Along Without Roads. "If evil communications corrupt good manners, what must an entire absence of roads of any kind do to settlers who have waited in vain for them? The North may be the El Dorado it is picâ€" tured to be for some peoplieâ€"for ourâ€" selves, we have no slightest djubt that it embraces great natural stores of wealthâ€"but for the unfortunate settler marooned in the bush and condemned often to packsack toting o(f all his reâ€" quirements, the "promising" south is his immediate concern, rather than the future promise of the North. We may tire some people‘s patiâ€" ence by our reiteration of the necessity for much more roadage for the North‘s real pioncers Their lack of success proves the urgent necesâ€" sity of revising the terms and circumâ€" stances which face them wnen they take up crown settlers‘ lots. "We would ask those who talk about the cost of road building as an excuse for attenuated programmes that have been carried out in the North, whether they are trying to argue that our land settlement can proeecd on the basis of roads not being built at all? The arguâ€" ment works out that way. What an absurdity it is to induce anybody to take up crown lots in the North, if roads cannot be built to them before the lapse of some years because they cost too much! We have said before and we say it again, that when the provincial government accepts entry for a settler‘s lot there is the strongest moral implication in the contract that access by road must be provided, else what earthly use is it to coax any sane person to stay on it, convert it into farmstead? Or if the land is considerâ€" ed of such little value as not to be worth the expense of building a road to it, for heaven‘s sake let‘s quit spendâ€" ing a lot of money kidding people to try their luck living in the bush."

A particularly attractive window was noted at the Hollinger Store at the weekâ€"end. Sunday, June 16th, was "Father‘s Day," the date set apart for the special recognition of the fathers of the world. On Mothers‘ Day there are signs given by children, young and old, of the debt it is felt the world o# folks owe to mother. It is the idea that on Fathers‘ Day sim‘Jlar honour should be given to "Dad." On Mothers‘ Day it is asked that flowers be worn in honour of mothers, whether living or dead. Fathers are expected to live, or their uséfulness is over, and so the badge decided upon as the proper one for "Fathers‘ Day" is accepted as a tie. "Wear a tie for father!" is the sort of advice written and printed for the Fathers‘ Day campaigns. The Hollinâ€" ger Store, in their men‘s department last week gave clever publicsity to the idea of Fathers‘ Day.

Specials For Friday and Saturday dow display Oof the newest and best in ties was made, all sorts of clegant ties being shown, the variety of designs and colours being remarkable. The window was dressed with very special artistic skill and effectiveness, the big array of ties being most attractive. In the centre of the window was a represerntaâ€" tion of a man holding up a newspaper which he appeared to be reading. Of course the newspaper was supposed to be The Porcupine, Advance and just as much of course the man was very eviâ€" dently reading about ties suitable for the customary presentation to father on Fathers‘ Day as a mark of respect and affection. The window was lighted brilliantly at night, coloured lights beâ€" ing used. The public generally were much attracted by the window in question, and there were grouns around the display practically all the time. Better still the display of ties appeared to strike the popular fancy in more material way, the Hollinger stores reâ€" porting record days for the sale.of ties. 0C Listerine Tooth Paste 40c Italian Balm ADV ANCED SITX Delivered, Fully Equipped 50¢ Gin Pills THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO For Constipation Bedtime Pills $1.25 Listerine All through the North and Mr. W. E. N. Sinclair, leader of the Liberal opâ€" position in Ontario, who was recently on tour of this section of the North, had been emphasizing what he apoearâ€" ed to think was the fact that the presâ€" ent Ontario Government was doing something wrong because they did not budget all the various expenditures for Northern Development matters. Mr. Sinclair repeated this idea at practicalâ€" ly all his meetings, and was not once checked up on it until last Wednesday when he reached Englshart. There, at a nonâ€"political gathering, Mayor Weeks took exception to the statements along this line as made by Mr. Sinclair. The Englehart mayor, as will be noted by the report elsewhere in this issue. showâ€" ed that the budget idea was not pracâ€" tical. At the Englehart meeting Mayor Weeks appeared to have al! the better of the argument. At North Bay, however, Mr. Sinclair made what many felt was an objectionable attack upon Mayor Weeks. Mr. Sinclair suggested that Mayor Weeks had displayed strong partisan leanings, and he also made what seemed to be an insinuation that some of the Northern Development Dept. money has passed through Mr. Weseks‘ hands. Now, Mayor Weeks is back with a strong reply to Mr. Sinâ€" clair‘s speech at North Bay. Mayor Weeks was shown a report of Mr. Sinâ€" clair‘s address at North Bay, and Oobâ€" jected to the statements and insinug.â€" tions‘ credited to the Liberal leader. ENGLEHART MAYOR‘S REPLY TO REMARKS BY SINGLANR "I have never taken a political standpoint in my life" said tne mayor. who maintained that arything he had said during his discussion with Mr. Sinâ€" clair over the latter‘s proposal to budâ€" get northern development expenditures was in his official capacity and deliverâ€" ed at a nonâ€"political mecting held unâ€" der the auspices of the Board of Trads. "Mr. Sinclair‘s remarks are quile uncalled for, to say the least, and I think it was pretty small of him. We had a friendly argument here. in the course of which I gave him my views on the matter of roads. I had been asked to welcome him, as mayor of the town, and when I started to speak I said I would have some new points to bring to his attention, to which he assented. I am surprised that a man of his caliâ€" bre should try to mislead and stretehn out something that was said io. a meanâ€" ing that was never intended." Mayor â€"Weeks Takes Exception to Statements as to Political Bias. Thinks Attack Not Good Sport According to press reports AMr. Sinâ€" clair had referred to Mayor Weeks durâ€" ing some remarks on "the political deâ€" velopments of the Conservative maâ€" chine" and had quoted IHis Worship who, he said, was inspéctor of highways for the Northerm Development Brarch and in charge of the settlement of former Haliburton farmeéers in Sharpe township, as an example of its alleged workings. He had told the audience at North Bay that it "is quite natural h* (Weeks) should oppose my proposal to budget northern devéelopment expendiâ€" tures," had said that "if dour argument prevailed, the money would not go through Mr. Weeks‘ hands for distriâ€" bution‘" and had declared that his reâ€" marks showed that "up here governâ€" ment employees are not averse to disâ€" cussing politics and defending the goyâ€" ernment which employes them."

According to the mayor he had congratulated Mr. Sinclair and the Liberal party for not opposing the grants for the Northern Deve mlopment Branch and had urged upon them the necessity for having these increased, if possible. "I put the development of the north country ahead of politics" said the mayor, and that goes whether the Govâ€" ernment is Conservative, Liberal, Labor or Farmer. I handle no grants.

I told him that budgeting, which he was advocating with referâ€" ence to the $5,000,000 grant made to the Northern Development Rranch, could not be done very well because of special circumstances peculiar to the North." The mayor said that he got no extra salary in connection with the Sharpe township settlement and that much of the work in this connection was don»e in his own time. Mrs. A.
