Chaâ€"ged with Speeding ut was 500 Miles Away~ A despatch from Kirkland Lake says that it‘s bad enough to be charged with speeding in ancther town you‘re visitâ€" ing; but to be charged with speeding in a town in which you‘ve never been, particulariy when you‘ve been working that day in a town 500 miles away is rather annoying. William Newman was charged with speeding in Grand Bend, Huron County, on July 12 last. A declaration was taken by him in ppolice court at Kirkland Lake on Thursday morning last before Magissâ€" trate Atkinson that he worked in Kirkâ€" land Lake on July 12 last. That he has never been out of Kirkland Lake in the last three months. That his car, Thursday, August 4th, 193; Should be That man or woman who is completely contented is in a sorry state. Every man, woman and child should have aspirationsâ€"desires for sorgething higher and better than is now possessed. It is Godlike to be disâ€" contented. Not the news, not the stories, not the information, not the entertaining and educational articles, contained in newspapers and magazines are the pushers of us toward something better and higher! it is the advertiseâ€" ments in them. They are urgent and narrowâ€"purposed, and are vivid. They are deliberately devised to make us do something. Advertisements are the Foes of Contented Men and Women Perhaps contentment is permissible in those who have reached their seventieth birthday, but those younger than 70 who say they are completely content merely say that they have collapsed menâ€" tally and physically. Ideals change, desires change, objectives change, but never should any of us be contented. And we‘ll never be contented if we keep reading advertisements. Pictureful, pressureful advertisements! Let us all be grateful for and to them. Labourers, if they were properly discontented, would raise the character and quality of their work, and would receive higher pay Men and women in salaried jobs doing manual or clerical work are unlikely to receive promotion if they exhibit contentedness. Those who go farthest and highest in the world‘s estimation are they who have the creative impulse, plus initiative ; they are those who strive to possess or reach what is beyond them. Things beyond us are made known to us by and in advertisements. Advertisers dangle in front of us electric refrigerators, electric labourâ€"saving domestic mechanisms, personal charm and beauty, the pleasures of travel, fine furniture and furnishings, the vigour and benefits of better health, cultural occupations and recreations, higherâ€"paid employment, and the ways and means by which we can make our time and labour give us more money and more leisure. Advertisements are designed to stir us out of bovine content by putting pictures before usâ€"pictures of the imagination. These pictures create longings in us, and longings find a way of translaâ€" ting themselves into purpose, ambition and resolution. Poverty of mind and estate is a manifestation of contentedness whose license number is AOâ€"3503, (which number appeared also on the «ummons) was at the job that day in Kirkland Lake. and has been in Kirkâ€" land Lake for three months straight. Art Scevious, foreman for Hillâ€"Clarkâ€" Francis, Ltd., also testified that on July 12 last Newman worked for his firm and that his car was on the job. Ned Re working in Kirkland Lake that da and that his car was at the job tha day.

A. Kingston, one of the comâ€" missioners of the Workmen‘s Compenâ€" sation Board, who was one of the guests on the recent trip to the opening of Moosnee and the driving of ine spikes marking the completion of the railway to James Bay, The Advance had the pleasure last week of receiving the following clever pbetical account of the trip. To readers of The Advance and especoially to those on the trip the poem, "On to the Bay" will make parâ€" ticular appeal, and will no doubt be carefully preserved as a most interestâ€" ing souvenir of an historic event:â€" The writer of these verses had the muchâ€"appreciated privilege of being with the James Bay party on the trip to July 5th, 1932, on the occaâ€" sion of driving the last spikes signalâ€" ling the completion of the T. N. O. Ry. to its new northern terminal. It is hoped that our references to the north country and description of some of the incidents of the trip in this form will make acceptable reading to members of the party and will be of interest as well to other citizens of Onâ€" tario, many of whom, it is certain, do not vet realize what a heritage the Province has in our great north land. In his address on this occasion, the Prime Minister, Hon. Mr. Henry, reâ€" ferred to the slogan "On to the Bay" which has been sort of obsession in the minds of citizens of the North Country for many years past with relaâ€" tion to this railway, now come to final completion. Hence, the title "On to the Bav‘" â€"GAK July 29th, 1932 oN TO THE BAY by George Allen Kingston Trip that long will be rememberedâ€" Mid July in Nineteen Three Two,â€" ‘Bout a hundred men departed, Board a special CN.R. train, Headed by George Henry, Premier, And three of his Cabinet members, Charge of morals, health and highways All bound for the James Bay Country There to see the culmination Of an enterprise momentous.

Little did our Empire builders Think when first the road was started What a wealth of precious metal Think of Cobalt with its silver And its mines of vast production, Of the fortunes made their finders In those days, a few short years since when white metal found good outlet In the farâ€"flung money markets. Now though edge is off the market, Silver yet in great abundance Still is held within her bosom, Waiting Then of Kirkland Lake and Timmins Rich in gold past calculation, Put this Province on the world map, Second only to the Transvaal, As the world‘s best wealth producer; Deeper in they dig, the richer Do they find this yellow metal. Zero hour and all is ready, Microphone is duly hooked up,â€" Mister Lee, our host and chairman,â€" Makes the needful short announcement, Then calls up Chief Justice Latchford To help finish what he started. He it was who turned the first sod Near North Bay just thirty years since. Parallelling all this railway Far north as the Town of Cochrane Is our great new northern highway, Named the name of former Premier; While beginning at New Liskeard, And extending miles to northward Lies a prosperous farming district Known to many as the Clay Belt;â€" Country gently undulatingâ€" Fine big farms and neat farmhouses Everywhere here dot the landscape. First break in our northward journey Was at Abitibi Canyon, A stupendous power project, Here in sight of near completion, Interested all the party. By a dam between the high banks Of this mighty northern river; Expert engineers envisioned A supply of Hydro power, Which would serve for generations, Mining and industrial interests Of this whole gleat northern territory. But it soon became apparent To the hundreds who observed That His Lordship‘s out of practice In the art of such spike driving. Fifteen times in vain he tried to Hit that spike upon the beeser And the elusive little spikeâ€"head Just as often seemed to dodge him, But at last he makes a good hit, Then twoâ€"threeâ€"his job is finished Easier far for him from rostrum, Drive a spike in lawyer‘s pleading. Now it‘s near to full fruition; Dam has raised a head of water Above the river‘s former streambed Height in feet, two hundred fifty, Backing water up the Canyon, Forty miles or more in distance; Possible to thus develop, Told in terms of H. P. units Ssomewhere over quarter million. Arrived at Moosonee next morning, Here we find our trip‘s objective,â€" Spikes awaiting to be struck home Thus to mark the road‘s completionâ€" Weather for the day is perfect, All the native Indian tribesfolk With their wivées and sons and daughâ€" ters And their many wee papooses Are on hand since early morning.

In the extension north from Cochrane: So he‘s called in at the finishâ€" one of George Lee‘s graceful gestures As a batter he did better Than His Lordship who preceded:; Pirst two hits, he starts off nicely, And he looks to be a winner, But his third is sliced so badly, Metaphorically speaking, That the spike is bent amidships, And he leaves it there suspended In the air, just half way driven. Now all eyes turn to the Premier Whispered words pass, "See Geon Speeches followed, dealing mestly With the promise which the future Has in store for this north country. Happens that it‘s just three hundred Years since James Bay was discovered, So toâ€"day‘s event‘s a fitting Commemoration of that other. First were heard the three spike drivers,â€" High lights of this glad occasion;â€" Then Sir William Hearst spoke briefly, And the parliamentary members, Present for the celebration. Back to west side early p.m. While the tide is in the river; Found the Indians here had gatherec In great numbers on the shoreline, Eager for the water races Which the railway had arranged for; Sack of flour for each winner Added zest to all the contests. After this, an Indian square dance On the bridge deck cross the Canyon Made an interesting finish For a day so full of action, Then we all entrained for homeward On the journey back that evening, While the day was at the twilight, Had a chance to see the great bridge Cross the Moose at Murray Island; Sixteen miles above this crossing Is a place called * ‘Blacksmith Rapids," Where a most important finding Of substantial coal deposits Made a recent welcome broadcast. Come we back again to North Bay, And our ways are at the parting, Many are the newâ€"found friendships Formed by these three days together, And goodâ€"byes come all too quickly ; But the thought in every mind is, Here‘s to Lee, McLaren, Martin And the T.

McAree, in his Fourth Column in the Toronto Mail and Empire explains "How Game of Crap Came to America.‘ We wish Mr. McAree would give us a review of the whole Crap family, especially the part played by Mr. and Mrs. Political Crap in their attempts to belittle the work of the Economic Conference by placing stumbling blocks under the feet of the individual members, and their continued faultâ€"finding with everyâ€" thing. James Dale, aged 45, and whose adâ€" dress is given as Kirkland Lake, is in the hospr/tal at North Bay suffering from a fractured right leg. According to the accounts given of the accident, Dale was lying on the track about 45 miles north of North Bay, which would be between Otter and Bushnell, when a freight train headed north came along. If the engineer of the freight had not seen Dale on the track, or had not atâ€" tempted to stop the train, it would in all probability have meant that the man would have been killed. As it was he escaped with a broken leg and some other minor injuries and is expected to man would have been killed. As it was he escaped with a broken leg and some other minor injuries and is expected to recover. The engineer noted the man on the track and at once attempted to stop the train before it reached the man lying on the track. In this good work the engineer was not completely successful. He did manage to stop the train in a small stretch of track, and without the train passing over the body. The locomotive, however, did strike Dale and he received the inâ€" juries noted. First aid was given the injured man and he was taken by a southbound freight to North Bay whnere he was given skilled attenilion at St. Joseph‘s hospital. rge Do ‘(‘ onference Scribes _ to Visit Gold Camps Special Train will Leave Ottawa_ on Friday on a Threeâ€"Day Excursion to Northern Ontario to Sse the Mines.
