coming into m sion, finding it what it is to sta families by she crushed, and th know the policy relicf. In this f dissatisfaction among these new settlers and conditions in many cases have tempted to discouragement and hopelessâ€" ness. Seven men coming from Ottawa recently to take up land near Englehart were so oppressed by the situation as they saw it that they had to be returned to the city from which they came. As the plan is worked out with the Doâ€" minion, the province, and some municipalities, each contriâ€" buting a third of the cost of the venture, there is general injury from each failure of the plan. So far as this North Land is concerned there are many failures certain from present indications. Men coming to this North and seeing the task before them of hewing out a farm and a home from the forest with no more than two hundred dollars available for the first year, with stock to secure, buildings to erect, land to clear, a family to keep, and no source of revenue in sight, have natural cause for depression. Men placed on North Land farms in October must have long vision to see ahead to the days when their new property will be a revenue producer. It will be late next year before they can even grow vegetables to aid in providing food. Many who have seen the new settlers have been worried, indeed, as to how they can hope to live until they can build productive farms. A few of them have been fortunately placed, but the outlook for the majority is not at all bright. The plan as outlined by Hon. Mr. Gordon is founded on sound ideas, but there would appear to be need for some changes to assure complete success. An oldâ€"time resident of the North knowing conditions from long and sometimes bitâ€" ter experlence wrote The Advance in August and again in September urging that the Governments adopt a plan of landâ€"clearing as a means of relieving unemployment. His idea was that the Governments should select groups of men to go to carefullyâ€"chosen land to clear it for farming, erect buildings and make it ready for experienced farmers to settle in homesteads thus arranged. The plan would proâ€" vide considerable immediate employment and it would asâ€" sure that the settlers eventually to be chosen would next year enter on the work of making real farms with a fair and reasonable chance to make good. Others have suggestâ€" ed a similar plan. The Advance understands that A. F. Kenning, M.P.P., who has an intimate khowledge of condiâ€" tions and prospects, believes that only by some such method as the one outlined can permanent and satisfactory settleâ€" ment be assured. It seems to be a foregone conclusion that little can be accomplished in the way of clearing land or building houses or barns this winter by the settler set down in the North with his family at this time of year, especially at present when pulp and timber can not be profitably handled by the isolated settler. Using groups of prospective settlers this fall and winter to clear land in selected areas, to erect necessary buildings and generally to prepare for real settlement next year, would appear to be the part of wisdom. On every homestead there should be at least eight acres There should be passable roads for the settlers. The new settlers should be grouped in communities with markets available for their produce. In other words there should be a plan of landâ€"clearing before settlement is atâ€" tempted;' The cost of the plan suggested would not exceed the expenditures involved by the present scheme. The chief apparent difference between the two schemes is that the one promikes little more than almost certain failure while the oth.gr suggests equal surety of success. Landâ€"clearing and other arrangements for settlement could be placed as a charge against the land to be repaid when the farm is established. Under such a plan there would ‘no. doubt be a few failures, but the majority would eventually win through to success. Under the plan now attempted it would be a hopeful man who would expect more than a few to win any success while for the majority little more can be ex-' pected than disheartening failure. to view live dow lief.

AIY effe« feeling ab ab like)lv Timmins, Ont., Thursd PAGE FPoUR WORSE THAN THE DEPRESSION it Che Yorrugine Aduanes t] At the present session of the Dominion parliament the matter of the adjustment of the ridings in the Dominior will be taken up. In the necessary reâ€"arrangement of seat: provision should be made for more representation for this part of the North. North Temiskaming has more thar doubled in population since the census of 1921. In the lattel year the population was 26,328,. The population for 1931 was given as 58,284. It is still higher than that toâ€"day. There are ridings in the southern part of Ontario where the popuâ€" lation is less than 25,000. On account of the variety of inâ€" terests and the immense size of the territory of this riding it is only fair to the people and to the country at large that there should be further representation in the Dominior House of Commons. The North also should have repreâ€" sentation in the Senate. Direct relief is the worse gurse the depression has brought to this country. The Ratepayers‘ Association is understood to have passed a resolution asking the town council not to debar those in arrears of taxes from voting at the municipal election this year, There will be few people who will refuse sympathy to those unable to pay their taxes, but to allow those not paying taxes to vote and thus have power over those who are paying taxes is a privilege contrary to the principles of democracy and fair play. All the sympathetic references to the illâ€"fortune of those unable to pay taxes does not alter the fact that it is unjust that nonâ€"tax payers should have the right to dictate to those who actually supply the funds to carry on the town‘s business. President Hoover has an infected hand. It is thought that the poisoning was contracted shaking hands with the multitude. "Some Democrat must have slipped into the line," says the hardâ€"shell Republican. On the wall of an office in Montreal many years ago there was the motto:â€""Never explain. Your friends don‘t need it, and your enemies won‘t believe you anyway." In many ways it is a good motto for a newspaper. At the same time it is well occassionally to correct misrepresentation, for the good of the soul of the slanderer, and so that truth may be held forward. The truth is that Timmins is as good as the best and better than the most in freedom from all crime, despite its cosmopolitan population, and thanks to honest and effective police protection. To keep it so every citizen should give his sympathy and support to the efforts for law enforcement as the assurance of decent living. Wild lies ana linioughtless generalities help little and hurt much. As another type of citizen saidâ€"last week, "Timmins is a pretty good old town after all!" "I thought The Advance said there were no blindpigs in Timmins," said one man last week in commenting on the twentyâ€"two convictions for breaches of the liquor act. Of course, The Advance said nothing.of the sort.. The. Advance admitted ‘thére Wetre blindpigs in Timmins, and added that it would be better for the town if everyone of these illegal places were weeded out. "What is needed," said The Adâ€" vance, "is a little more support to the authorities in the work of clearing the town of the cheap lawâ€"breakers." The chief point made by The Advance in connection with the slanâ€" derous letter was that it was not only unfair to picture Timmins as a wide open town, but it also made it harder for the authorities to make and keep it what it has usually beenâ€"one of the most orderly and lawâ€"abiding towns of the province. In few towns is the law better observed than in Timmins, and it is the wouldâ€"be lawâ€"breakers who are most anxious to give the town the other sort of a name, perhaps in the hope that calling it names may make the libels into truth. a word. Then The Advance had quite a bit to say about that letter writer and his or her slanders. Last week‘s Adâ€" vance carried on the story by a police court report that showed twentyâ€"two convictions for breach of the liquor laws. Though the fact was distinctly stated that the cases were the result of weeks of work by the police, there were some with the effrontery to suggest that the slandering letter writer had stirred up activity. As The Advance pointed out two weeks ago the columns of this newspaper reporting ten to fortyâ€"seven police court cases each week proved that the police had been active and The Advance had reported that activity. Newspapers are sometimes charged with misrepresentaâ€" tion, but if the charge is true it is more than overbalanced by the way some people sometimes misrepresent the newsâ€" papers. There was a recent case that has many touches of unconscious humour. A letter writer in The Toronto Star slandered the town of Timmins by suggesting that the town was little better than a mass of unprotected stores and a mass of well protected liquor dives, that the police were doing nothing about it, and that The Advance was not saying The longer the direct relief method is followed, the greater time it will take before people will be able to accustom themâ€" selves to work and effort and industry. Under the plan of employment as a means of relief the cost might have been great, but the country would have the bill and know the exact amount. There would be means and measures availâ€" able to meet the cost whatever it might be. A country that could find the way to meet the cost of a righteous war, could finance a righteous method of relief. The cost of inâ€" direct relief can not be computed in dollars and cents and though prosperity comes again this generations will not see the end of paying for that evil thing, direct relief, taking its toll from the heart and soul as well as from the pockets of the people. industry, selfâ€"support and selfâ€"respect were the very lifeâ€" blood of the people, the depression has brought no other curse so fearful as that of direct relief. Its tendency is to sap the pride and strength, to crush independence and iniâ€" tiative, and to leave the people weak and unreasonable and shiftless like the foreign fellows with their silly demands. Direct relief is worse than any depression. ment as a form of relief bee have been through with the there would have been les spent to provide employment The only real cure for unemployment i To speak in paradox, direct relief would be too costly were it cheaper than other forms of relief. The truth appears to be, however, that it is costly every way. It does no more than provide a mere existence, hopeless and poor. Its cost will be a staggering one in money alone. Indsed, there is reason to believe that in dollars and cents alone it will exâ€" ceed the price paid for a plan of employment that would truly relieve the situation. Under direct relief every dollar spent is gone. ‘There is nothing for it, but the momentary existence it may prolong. Money spent on employment, however, bas a farâ€"reaching effect.. It leaves value for the money spent. It not only relieves those who are employed through it, but it keeps others from the necessity for relief. It stimulates and sustains business, keeps up courage and hope and allows men and women to keep up their heads and their courage. The dollar spent in direct relief is dead. The dollar spent in employment circulates and creates a circle of everâ€"widening power. Had the policy of employâ€" ment as a form of relief been continued the country would have been through with the depression before this, indeed, GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"â€"â€"ANI) PIA( lu PA se S Pm n h e o s e w o i n L _ ’, at d PAAA PA P ALP LAAA ~AP PP P LA AL DPAAA L ACâ€"AL L â€"AL LAAA CA AL PP deprssion employment yc s i USUE HAnct, _and creates A| are to be asked once again licy of employâ€" | to decorate windows in tribute to those ; country would| who died for their country. re this, indeed,| On Thursday, Nov. 10th, the poppy r every dollar| Will be sold on the streets, and if arâ€" rangements can be made, these embems of sacrifice will also be on sale for two or three hours before the parade on Friday, Nov. 1l1th.

The bag was in a drawer in her room, and the presence of the money was unknown to her son, the officer said. The balance of four dollars taken was in silver. ‘It was found in Mr. Jenkyn‘s room. A neighbour returning from work noticed a strange man leaving the Jenkyn place by the side road, but nothing was thought of the matter at the time. Mrs. Jenkyn was in the garâ€" den working that day, and it was not until the following afternocn that she discovered her loss. The police were called, but beyond discovering footprints and learning that the stranger had headed in the direction of Kerr Lake, little has been brought to light. Kingston people some years ago used to resent the suggestion, "Oh, yes, Kingâ€" ston! That‘s where the penitentiary is?" or "Yes, Kingston, that‘s where the asylum is?" They would usually reply in what may be term snooty tone of voice that the asylum was at Rockwcod, and the penitentiary at Portsmouth. These replies, were abâ€" solutely accurate, Kingston evading the honour or otherwise of its famous inâ€" stitutions by giving new names to the places where these institutions are loâ€" cated. Burwasn suffers under the handicap of being associated with a penal institution and the Burwash peoâ€" ple are using their own method of avoiding the institutional flavour. The name "Burwash" is so fully associated with the prison farm that there is scant hope of changing that. Accordâ€" ingly, the Burwash people have decided to change the name of their village and let the jail farm have whatever glory or shame there may be‘ bound up around the name of Burwash. The name of Burwash post office, at the village of Burwash, will be changed to Estaire on and after November 1, Pcstmaster H.

The Iarrest of those openly preaching sediâ€" tion and bloody revolution cooled down the alien agitators for a time, but these ‘cheap grafters finding they can get away with things once more, are beâ€" ginning to increase again in impudence. ICertainly. they are receiving considerâ€" able encouragement from a certain class of weakâ€"minded newspaper. It is pleasing to note, however, that many good newspapers are not impressed by the tripe about tolerance and the idea of letting vicious alien disloyalists "Mow off steam." In an editorial last week The North Bay Nugget said: â€"â€" "In the course of its campaign to glorify the Soviet system as exempliâ€" fied by Russia, one Ontario daily conâ€" tinually harps on the necessity of reâ€" pealing the Section 98 of the Criminal By virtue of a warrant under the hand of the Reeve of the Corporation of the Township of Calvert, in the Disâ€" trict of Cochrane, dated July the 23rd, 1932, commanding me to levy upon the lands hereinafter described for arrears of taxes, respectively due thereon, together with cost, notice is hereby given that unless such taxes and costs are paid, I shall in compliance with the Assessment Act, Chapter 238, R.S.O. 1927, proceed to sell by auction the lands or so much thereof as may be necessary to discharge the same at the Municipal Hall in the village of Ansonville in the Township of Calvert, District of Cochrane, on the 1st day of December 1932 (Thursday) at the hour of ten o‘clock in the forenoon pursuant to Statutes. And further take notice that it is the intention of the Council of the Township of Calivert to purchase at the adâ€" journed sale, if held, all parcels of land if the price offered is less than the arrears and costs thereof, according to R.S.0. 1927, the said adjourned sale, if necessary, to be held the 8th day of December 1932. Name and Address section of the code was of very little apparent value until just recently. It was invoked during the war but it was rot until Communist activitiee began to take the dangerous turn that they have lately, that it became really valuâ€" able. It is certainly needed and it would be rank foolishness to consider repealing it unless some other section was put in to replace it and give the should be repealed and thus all control of the Sovict agents in Canada be wiped out. In support of it, the paper quotes the fact that the House of Comâ€" mons has seven times voted to repeal it and each time the Senate has refusâ€" ed to concur in the move. That should, in our opinion, guarantee the Senate against any interference or change for at least the natural life of the present members, even though they probably builded better than they know.
