MWember of the Canadian Canada A oneâ€"eyed motor community. In an address to the Rotary Club At . Hon. V/im. Finlayson, Minister of La: Ontaric, stated that civilization in this Northern Ontario and finally spread to Hon. Mr. Finlayson was at least partly ment: civilization did start in the Nortt e In a recent issue i1LC "Haywire." According t wire, primarily used for Digest says that as it be derived meaning of "haywire"‘ is ACCOTGILE paired." The Literary Digest does not do noble haywire. Probably only in the North cognized for what it really is. Haywire dof cheapness or makeshift, but really stands â€" of ingenuity. It typifies the spirit that is unc gallantry that can overcome any difficulty wi hand. The Advance has more than once T fecticn to haywire as "the national flower Without haywire this North would never 1 present proud position in progress and dev wire has been an everâ€"present help in times In the mining camps, the lumber camps places where horses are necessary, haywire y on K Timmins, a touch of the snobbishness of the age. He calls his farm, "Haewyer Farm." The Advance gives the glory to plain, old, useful, ubiquitous, democratic HAYWIRE! <All hail, Haywire! In the course of a recent address at London, Ontario, Hon. Mr. Sutherland, the new Minister of Militia for Canada, said:â€""The militia has not had a great deal of encourageâ€" ment.‘" The suggestion made by the Minister of Militia is really an understatement of the facts of the case. The militia in Canada has been subjected to about every disâ€" couragement that could be given the organization. On the one hand it has felt the force of the attitude of the peaceâ€" atâ€"anyâ€"price fanatics who shower enmity on anything even | remotely connected with tr{oughts of war. The militia l'm\d| no particular cause to be despondent simply because Miss Agnes Macphail, M.P., said she did not love the militia..! But when hundreds of Miss Macphails of both sexes and all | genders howl their dislike at those spending their time and energy to assure some sort of training to protect the counâ€" try against foes at home as well as abroad, when the world is full of evil and other communism and thuggery, it must be admitted to be a little discouraging. On the other hand the professional soldiers have looked upon the militia with more or less supercilious scorn, while the Government too often in attempting to placate both extremes has almost overlooked the militia and the welfare of the country. ‘There is no doubt that altogether too much attention has been paid to the pacifists and their kind. It might be well to honestly recognize the fact that danger and disorder almost constantly threaten peaceful countries these days, and it is only the part of wisdom to have some nucleus of force for the protection of honest, loyal people. If the new Minister cf Militia plans to give proper encouragement to the militia he will be doing a notable service for Canada. Certainly there are innumerable places where such encourâ€" agement may be given without undue cost or effort.

United States .. $3.00 per year a blind pig for Association \ l i encouragement might be given at once to the militia in this | district. The Porcupine Company of the Algonquin Rifles has no. armouries and no place even for the storing of arms and accoutrement. Recently, the proposal was made that part of the large basement of the new post office building at Timmins be utilized for the accommodation of the Forâ€" cupine Company of the Algonquin Regiment. The company ‘ could at least store its arms, uniforms and other equipment in this place. There is lots of space for such room to be available. Mr. A. Borland, president of the Timmins Conâ€" servative Association, has interested himself in pressing upon the Government the need for the accommodation sought and the desirability of filling the need. The grantâ€" ing of the use of this room in the new post office building here would be one way to encourage the militia in this disâ€" ! trict. Certainly, the militia in this district deserves enâ€". couragement. The way that men like Messrs Geo. Cole, H. A. McDougall, Mac Lang, K. Stirling and others have kept up interest and effort in militia matters in this district, deâ€" spite a host of discouragements from all sides, suggest that they should long ere this have been given some compensating encouragement for their loyal work. If the new Minister of Militia wishes to encourage the militia of the Porcupine he might well consider the early establishment of a suitâ€" able armouries for this area, and in the meantime, some measture of accommodation could be given the local Algonâ€" quin Rifles company in the basement of the Timmins post ~â€"Mhice building, a Government structure paid for by the peoâ€" nle whom the militia is ready to defend. Reference was made last week and still further mention made in this issue in regard to the formation recently at Kapuskasing of an association to advance the interests of the settlers in the North Land. The meeting at Kapuskasâ€" ing expressed the hope that similar organizations would be formed in cther sections of the North Land, and this is a wish that all thoughtful people in the North will heartily ‘endorse. With almost any sort of organization the settlers | \ will be able to make their needs known more effectively, | tand the more general and widespread the organization the | more chances there will be for the settlers to have their needs supplied by the powers that be. The lumber industry, | the mining industry, and more recently the prospecting fraâ€" ternity, all have organizations to advance and guai'd their ‘rgecial interests. Bcards of trade and similar bodies lo0ok to the special interests of business men. The settlers are | ‘among the most important men of business and industry‘ in this new country, but in the past they have been more Or 1683 cverlooked because they have had so little of the supâ€" : port and strength of organization. Some years ago the settâ€" {lers in Mountioy townshin had an association that accomâ€" plished a remarkable amount of good for the area conâ€" cerned. It is to be hoped that the settlers‘ organization reâ€" cently perfected at Kapuskasing may prosper and progress end othsr similar organizations may be formed in other | parts of the North to the general advantage. â€" There are | three things that the settlers are seeking through their newl organization. In securing these three desired advantages the ‘ | settlers should have the support of the boards of trade and i | all other organizations, for what will benefit the settler will ) | prove of special advantage to the whole country. The settâ€" ) | lers first of all require roads and more roads. Without‘ Y iroads they are handicapped practically beyond other help.! > | In the second place the settlers are seeking for a form of *‘ bonus for clearing land, similar to the plan that has helped ! s iso materially in the colonization of parts of Quebec proâ€" ® \ vince. The amourt of this bonus is only small. Any other e industry assuring work for thousands of men and women | e ! and guaranteeing the establishment of literally thousands‘ T ]Ao,f, geocod homes would have little difficulty in securing so inâ€" s | considerable a measure of monetary help. Directly and inâ€" t |directly the country has bonused lumbering, mining. and t papermaking to much greater extent. The third request of T l the settlers is for a special department in the Government is ‘ at Toronto to particularly watch and guard and advance the d interests of the settlers.. This request is also a reasonable $ :and a proper one and should receive hearty support from all. d It is understood that the Northern Ontario Settlers‘ Associaâ€" is i tion, recently formed at Kapuskasing, has been holding e , meetings at various points along the Canadian National S | Railways and at these meetings settlers have been joining r ' the organization in very pleasing way. At one meeting there e : were 51 present and every one present joined the new assoâ€" s ciation as soon as its atms and purposes were explained. It ie is expected that in a short time the membership will exceed or . 2000 and with this as a basis for appeal to the authorities, n. it would appear that the Government is not likely to fail iâ€" ‘to accede to the reasonable requests of the settlers, especiâ€" so ally in view of the fact that the Government itself is very e | favourably dispesed to the settlers and agreed that much of as the permanent progress of the North Land depends on the en mm o mm mm ons mm m mm \ ! i » * .. old a #* * C d P sn ao oo 44 44 ## *# . ** Q.“ 64 * *4 * "44 ) _ @ .A A. « « .0. .* w ] ( â€" a ( l t 4 a w PC EC success of the sett‘er Communists in Sudbury last week threatened to stage an illegal demonstraticn in Sudbury. The authorities prepared to meet any such crime with an armed force which would have included fifty exâ€"soldiers with batons. The alien agiâ€" tators had no desire to meet the exâ€"soldiers, some of whom they may have met for a minute or two overseas. The reâ€" sult of the preparations made by the authorities was that Sudbury suffered no lawless parades or disorder. Some weeks ago in Port Arthur the preparedness of the authorities voided similar promised demonstrations by the communists. The communists express their desire to overthrow governâ€" ment and religion, by force, if necessary, but they have no stomach for any real force to be applied against themselves. They are cowards and sneaks, or they would not be repaying the kindness and opportunity given them by Canada by the ingratitude and treachery they have shown. If the proper force had been applied to the communists months ago and in the place where it would do the most good, there would have been no trouble with these mouthy foreigners whose chief ;work for years has been the prostitution of the minds of their own children, who might otherwise have developed i into gocd Canadian citizens. The Advance would again give warning that unless something is done to curb the evil work of the soâ€"called Sunday schools conducted by these alien ‘ agitaters, this country will have to expend considerable force | at much expense in dealing with the youth who are being taught disrespect and worse for British law and British customs. Last week a group of publicâ€"spirited citizens lined up beâ€" hind A. F. Kenning, MP.P., to secure better freight service between Cochrane and Timmins, so that not only the busiâ€" ts ds nc . ies ness houses might be benefitted but also that the several important industries north of Cochrane should be accommoâ€" dated. Before the week was out the T. N. . Railway had h. arranged for a daily freight service between Timmins and Cochrane. This illustrates two facts,â€"the fact that effort and coâ€"operation will do much, and the fact that the T. N. 0. Railway may always be depended upon to provide serâ€" vice that is required if the needs are properly presented. Germany was one European nation that escaped war on its soil during the late world war.

There is always the danger of damage or annoyance from holiday evening event. It is inâ€" teresting to note the different ways difâ€" ferent towns have tackled the auestion. This year Haileybury added twelve speâ€" cial constable to its police force. Timâ€" mins for the past three years has put on an entertainment for the youngsters on the gentleman‘s agreement implied that the youngsters enjoy the event and then go home after the proceedings sre completed, the usual rl:anks being omitte®. It must be admitted that in Timmins the boys and girls have lived up to their part of the agreement and the scheme has worked well. Sudbury apparently has done nothing abocut Hallowe‘en, and that, too, has worksd all right. The matter is referred to editorially by The Sudbury Star, as fcllows:â€" "T~ cffset any possible depredations by the youngsters next Priday evening, Hallowe‘en, the Timmins Kiwanis Club will put on an outâ€"door entertainment ‘o divert the attention of the children into better channels.

Whether the children Cc he nickel city are much better than those of other centres is cpen to quesâ€" tion, ‘but at any rate, the Hallowe‘en intics in Sudbury seem to have been ccnfined to more moderate celebration. "Everycne expscts youth to have its fling on Hallows‘en, but the obstreperâ€" ous cnes must be kept in There is no reason for the infliction of damage upon the property of the citizens in order to have a good time. The authorities here, therefore, will a; s)eal to the fairness of the youth of Sudbury, in the expectation that the pranks of Hallowe‘en will be restrain2d and carried out with full consideraticn for the rights of others and respect for their person and property."

Review, published for the employees of the Canada Northern Power Corporation. Mr. Plowright, who is now line foreman for the power company: at Kirkland Like, was for some time resident of Timmins, where he was a popular memâ€" ber cf the Timmins Citizens Band and made a host of friends not only by his musical talents which are worthâ€" straight character. A good typ: of citizen, the C.N.P.C. may well be proeud of the employees like Plowright. The sketch published by The CN.P.C. Reâ€" visew is as followsâ€" "While those members of the family who look after the various pOower houses rightly consider that their wcrkl is the most important of cur company S activities, and the members of the acâ€" ccunting department are justified in thinking that their work is indispensâ€" able, the geneleman whose picture yOu see above is quite certain that the genâ€" erators can whirl, and the office staff can figure all they like, but if the transâ€" mission lines are not kept in perfect condition all the other fellows‘ work is in vain, for the power generated is useless unless it can be delivered to the custecmer, and the only way that can be is through the medium of the line. "Tem Plowright was born in that boautiful city in England which is asâ€" scciated, in the minds of boys of all ages with Robin Hood, viz: Nottingâ€" lham Ladies more frequently think of lace when they see the mentioned, but as Tom left England when he was five years old, it is extremely probable that the writer could tell him more about his birthplace than he rememâ€" "His family located Walkerton. Ontario, where he passed his school days, after which he tried his hand at farming, followed by three years at Niagara Fails where he was employed buffing silverware at the Rogers factory. In 1923 he came north, joining Northâ€" ern Canada Power Company at South Porcupine, where he found work on the steel towers then being erected. In 1924, he was transferred to Wawa‘.‘in, whence he later moved to the Quinzseâ€" Rouyn line. Subsequently he was staâ€" ticned at Timmins as a member of the lighting division staff, finally being proâ€" moted to the position of line foreman at Kirkland Lake in 1927. bers "Being musically inclined he is able to extract notes from a slide trombone, aend his vocal efforts are not to be neezed at. Incidentally he has escapâ€" ed the influence of Cupid‘s bow and arrows, which we imagine will make Tom even more interesting to the girls."

The Northern Tribune. of Kapuskasâ€" ing, in an editorial article last week SsaVS: «â€" "The spontanecus response of setâ€" tlers in the district to the apjeal made to them to join settlers‘ association which would represent their interests just proves how necessary such an orâ€" cate upon the respective merits of the claims being put forward. Then the recommendations made will relieve the legislative member for North Cochrane of the very difficult and delicate task of arriving at similar decisions by much less satisfactory and more cirâ€" cuitous method. "‘The Northern Ontario Settlers‘ Asâ€" scciation can arrange to make a survey of the whole colonization situation through its own members, as The Norâ€" thern Tribune some time ago advocated shcould be undertaken by the governâ€" ment. A carefullyâ€"prepared questionâ€" naire, filled out with care by each setâ€" tler and then collated by townships,. would reveal faithfully the precise posiâ€" ticn of the settlers in the North, and would furnish invaluable guidance in | considering advisable changes in the system. Such a form should provide spr11ce for filling in the length of time the settlers has been on his lot, the acreâ€" nge that has been cut, slashed burned, stumped, grubbed, cleared, plowed and cropped; the number of horses, cows, pigs, and poultry kept, as well as other secondary stock such as bees; the exact nature of the buildings on the lot; the character of the public road (if any) passing the lot, and its relation to any through road in the vicinity; the naâ€" ture of any government or other loan standing against the settler, whether for purchase of stock, buildings, seed grain, or other purpose; terms of payment, and how much has been repaid; the toâ€" tal cordage of pulpwoced that has been cut off the lot, and an estimate of what remains; the source of incomse of the settler, firstly from his lot and seâ€" condly from any other source; estimatâ€" ed present value of the lot as it stands, |and the value per acre of cultivated ground in the neighbourhood, etc., etc. .|From these and other related particuâ€" ,‘lars the leaders of the Settlers‘ Assoâ€" _ |ciation can readily build up an irreâ€" fragible case for complete revamping of the regulations covering colonization in Northern Ontario, and cne that will lhave to be listened to. "Every good citizen in the North will wish the new association well, put in gocod word for it, and help/ it to get securely established. There isn‘t the remotest chance that the organized setâ€" tlers will ask for anythmg harmful to the North‘s interests, and there is the equal certainty that anything they do get by their concerted efforts will reâ€" dound to the agvantage of the North as a whole. The movement is nonâ€" political in character, nonâ€"sectarian, and is calculated to embrace every setâ€" tler and voice his needs. Under wise leadership, not trying to suddenly bring about a revolutionary change in conâ€" ditions but steadily pressing forward in pursuit of ends which will uplift the settler, the Northern Ontario Settlers‘ Association can become a power in the land. "While the present movement originâ€" ated in the Kapuskasing district and is necessarily officered temporarily by settlers in this district, there need be no jealousy on that accuunt in other cenâ€" tres which equally require organization. Unquestionably, the new organization will readily adapt itself to conditions as they arise, and provision will be made for township! organization whenever it is necessary or advisable, with local autonomy in many respects. The lowâ€" est possible memmbership feeâ€"one dollar â€"has been set, and careful supervision of the asso@tation‘s expenses will be given by the executive committee. h. “Moré power to the settler!
