ONTARIO HARTLEY TOWNSHIP REEVE MEETS WITH ODD ACCIDENT The New Liskeard Spraker last week Wm. Goddard, of Hartâ€" ley, met Tuesday afternoon, with a painful accident and one which might well have resulted with more serious injury. As it was, he suffered two broken ribs and is much bruised and very sore. He was backing the tractor down a hill to attach it to a separator at the foot, when his foot slipped off the clutch of the tractor which jumped backwards jamming him between the self feeder and the steering wheel of the tractor. Mr. Goddard‘s presence of mind saved more serious disaster, for, although injured, he shut off the gas and spark bringing the tractor to a stop. He was at once taken to the home of Mr. Reuben Pettifer who was, providentially, with his car, at the scene of the accident when it happened. Mr. Goddard is resting as comfortably as can be under the circumstances. No other injury is anticipated." To recount The Northern Miner‘s story first: Here it is:â€" "Doc" Oaks, erstwhile chief of N.A. pilot staff and now engaged in a private fiying venture, was one of the lirst commercial pilots in the North. He teils a story of a trip he made with a very fussy gentleman who wished to be dropped down on a certain lake. "Doc." was fiying a "Lark," and ran into very thick weather which necessiâ€" tated a landing. They came down on one arm of a very large lake, ran ashore and waited for improved conditions. The storm lasted for four days and during this period of forced inactivity the pasâ€" senger fumed and fussed incessantly, to the complete disgust of his pilot. Eventually things cleared up and "Doc" took to the air again. He went up to 2.000. feet and ‘suddenly realized that they had been all this time stormbound on the identical lake his customer was ltoking for. Naturally he did not wish to disclose this fact to the man who had already fused his collar buttons over the delay, so he circled about for an hour and came down again. "Had I told him the facts he would have blown a boiler," says the veteran pilot. Barrie Examinerâ€"No longer will a certain young Orillian carry his pipe in his hipâ€"pocket. A cloud of smoke was the warning as he rode on the running board of a friend‘s car, when the wind fanned the pipe in his pocket to a fiame that ignited his trousers, shirt and undershirt. wWild yells brought the car to an abrupt standstill, that almost ditched a following car, and there ensued in the ditch "such mad pursuit, such struggle to escape" 2s would have delighted the eye of a champon contortionist. The return journey was made in the modest obâ€" scurity of a rumble seat. All pips smoker take warning! â€" A story told often bring to rememâ€" brance ancther of the same type, for better or worse, and it is so in the case of a good yarn recounted last week by The Northern Miner. The Advance matches the story from The Miner, but it should be noted that The Advance story is several years older than The Miner‘s tale and so has the added call of veneration for age to recommend it. The Advance Matches a Story From The Miner THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Last week reference was made in The Advancs to the organization of the settlers along the C.N.R. from Cochrans to Hearst. Since the road from Cochâ€" rane to Hearst has been in use the farms along this stretch of highway have progressed in remarkable way. From Kapuskasing to Mconbeam, for instance, the advance made has been simpl‘ly remarkable in the last year or two. The progress made has proven the advantage to the settlers of gocd roads. Indeed, it is now more apparent than ever that roads are the prime need of the settlers. In addition to the settlers all along the route of the road there are others who are settled some distance away, and to all the necessity for roads has been proved beyond any question or doubt. Those on the Cochâ€" raneâ€"toâ€"Hearst road, or within reach of it do not need to be told the vital necessity of it; their farms and their work show the value of the roads every day, and every hour of the day. And those not near the road have even more convincing knowledge by contact with those more fortunate, of the abâ€" solute need of roads for the settlers. In addition thers are several octheor matâ€" ters in which the settlers have felt for some tims that some sort of organizaâ€" tiocn was necessary. The lumbermen, the paper mills, the business men and others have their organizations for muâ€" tual advantage. The settlers for some time have felt that unless they also organized in scme form or another they would not be able to make as good proâ€" gress as they would were they bound together in some way to give them more power than simply as isolated individâ€" joy Setilers‘ Association, and would like to see this organization revived, as well as cthers formed along the T. N. O. Porcupine branch and between Porqulis Junction and Swastika. In the Engleâ€" hart and New Liskeard areas there apâ€" pear to be useful organizations already for the farmers. . Reports published of the recent meetâ€" ing at Kapuskasing may be summarizea as follows:â€" The Northern Ontario Settlers‘ Asâ€" scciation, with an initial membership of close to 100 settlers, was organized at Kapuskasing at a largely attended mecting in the town hall. Though the meeting was called at only a few days notice, representatives were present from every farming community along the C.N.R. from Cochrane to Hearst. The cbject of the assoeciation is to weld the settlers in all the newlyâ€"openâ€" ed districts into a strong organization for mutual help and to seek to influâ€" enc legislative action and public opinâ€" ion on behalf of the interests of northâ€" ern homesteaders. A number of reâ€" solutions were passed by the memberâ€" ship and will be draughted into a reâ€" solution for final presentation for apâ€" proval at the next meeting of the Asâ€" sociation in Kapuskasing on November affect on political parties and the Orâ€" The matter of draughting these moâ€" ganization that eschewed partizan POlâ€" | tions into a resolution to be prmesented itics would consequently influence pOliâ€" gsovernment was left in the hands tical parties to a far greater extent ) of the executive.

Following Kapuskasing, further reference may |the general meeting, the directors and now be made to the meeting. The|the executive held a short meeting at organization formed has the idea that which plans for a membership camâ€" similar societies or clubs may be formâ€" ! paign were considered. A man will be ed in other parts of the North and by | appointed in each district charged with working together may accomplish much | signing up the settlers in his territory, for the settlers. In this connection j and the hope was expressed that at The Advance may say that it rememâ€"|the next mseting the great majority bers the good work done by the Mountâ€" ;of the settlers would be signed up. In commenting some time ago in reâ€" sard to proposals for organizaiion C* the settlers The Advance suggested somse organization similar to the boaard of trade idea among business men. Now that the settlers have actually orâ€" ganized The Advance would further suggest that they make some plans to coâ€"opsrate with the Northern Ontario Asociated Boards of Trade, or, perhaps, it migzht be better to say to secure the coâ€"operation and assistance of the Northsrn Ontario Associated Boards of Trade. There were some who urged orâ€" ganization along political lines, or with political purposes in view. Against this idea The Advance argued that the hisâ€" tory of the class political party was one of failure and worse in this province. wWith an organization planning legiâ€" timately to improve the conditions of those ‘concerned the numbers and inâ€" fluence gained would naturally have its affect on political parties and the orâ€" ganization that eschewed partizan polâ€" itics would consequently influence poliâ€" tical parties to a far greater extent than by throwing down the gauntlet to both existing pohtlcal parties, as had besn done by some organizations. Orâ€" ganized l2bhour had proven this proint. The following officers were elected: Honorary presidents, Hon. Wesley Gorâ€" don, Hon. W. Finlayson and T. L. Kenâ€" nedy; honorary viceâ€"presidents, Messrs Mceing at Kapuskasing of Seitlers from Cochrane to Hearst.

Instructions have been issued to the managers of government liquor stores throughout the province, to refrain from selling beer, wines, or spirits to persons out of employment, and to ‘those whom the managérs have reason to believe are spending money on liâ€" ! quor that is needed to provide for their |families. Sir Henry Drayton, chairman of the Ontario Liquor Control Board, announced. Sir Henry, who has just returned from a vacation in Great Britain and Eurcps, said there were indications the coming winter would be a trying seaâ€" sen for some people, and he did not wish men to spend money on liquor that would be needed to carry them and their families through the winter seaâ€" son.

Tom Poulton acted as chairman until President Lacasse was elected. strumental in having it called, the actâ€" inz chairman called upon Mr. A. V. Walters, M.P.P., for a few words, Mr. Waters pledged his supplbort to the newâ€" ly organized association, and congratuâ€" lated the settlers on taking definite action to bring their needs to the atâ€" tention of the legislature. FPollowing the election cof officers and the collecâ€" tion of the membership fee of $1.00 each from those present, a general disâ€" cussion was held, and as a result a numâ€" ber of motions asking for reforms were passed.

Acton Free Press:â€"The end of the municipal year draws to a close with election day less than two months away. The officials the ratepayers chose at The motion discussed at greatest length, and carried most enthusiasticalâ€" ly was the one dealing with the setâ€" tlers‘ request for a bonus for clearing land similar to that in effect in Queâ€" bec. It was pointed out that settlers in the sister province have considerable advantage over settlers in Ontario, in that they are paid for clearing their land, while settlers in this province must live on their capital or get work on the roads or in the bush, to the deâ€" triment of their farms, until sufficient land is cleared to enable them to proâ€" duce large encugh crops to them. For that reason the meeting went on record as unanimously favouring a bonus. ocf $30 an acre to settlers who clear a maximum of five acres a year for a pericd of five years. But before the settler could collect the bonus the cleared land must be stumped and unâ€" der cultivaticon. It was feared that if the bonus were given for simply clearâ€" ing the land, settlers who had no inâ€" tention of staying on the land might cut the timber off their farms, collect the bonus, and move on. Another motion passed was to the éefâ€" fect that the legislature be requested to pass legislation, requiring pulp and paâ€" per companies to buy pulpwood from settlers before cutting any on their own limits. It is alleged that at the present cime the settler has difficulty in selling his pulpwood at a fair price, for the companies prefer to cut their own limits to buying from settlers. It was also resoived to send a delegation to local forestry branches to investigate the possibility of settlers being given work slashâ€"burning. It was also reâ€" solved to ask the department that setâ€" tlers be given the preference on roat work, and that road work be given to residents of the district. LIQUOR TO BE REFUSED TO MEN OUT OF EMPLOYMENT Following a brief outline of the purâ€" p~se of the meeting by Mr. Poulton, who with Mr. Lacasse was chiefly inâ€" the elections have served you throughâ€" out the year. They have had your criticism, but have they received your commendation? When they erred they were undoubtedly told of their misâ€" take, but were their actions all in error? Didn‘t the most of the year show a big balance on the good judgment side? Did your officials hear more of their faults than of their virtues? As they say in a ball game: "Mix ‘em up." If you have spoken your criticism fairly, hand out your compliments on the same basis. Some of your officials are right now, undoubtedly wondering if their services to the community are worth the effort they have made to give them to you. Maybe you‘ve adâ€" mired the individual for his work alâ€" ways. It wouldn‘t take much effort on your part to tell him it was appreciated. That word of encouragement might be the means of retaining his or her serâ€" vices for the community in which we are all vitally interested.
