A couple of weeks ago a group of noted hunters from Timmins went down to a camp about forty miles north of North Bay and as usual they have enjoyed good fortune. The group in- cludedzâ€"Councillor R.

The company had a capital in- d3 vestment of $35,000,000. and the fund- - ed indebtedness of the province was s. nearly 400 millions of dollars. the in- -lterest on that amount being. in his rI words. “rather staggering."

There was a place to 5. both Hydro and the C.N.P.C.. he said i i He thought the purchase of the Abltib' 1' Canyon power development and the - ' talk of taking over the Northern Cana- . f‘da were such stupendous things thati - ; they should not be considered during‘ - ‘. these present days. Dr. Farlinger spoke. l ‘ of the surplus power in the country and . ) mentioned that part of the business ' l: and plant of the power company were >, in Northern Quebec. In the Opinion - . of Mr. Preston, of Englehart, Hydro was .one of the finest institutions in exist- 3| ence. It gave service to the people at [9 cost. It was not‘a minute too soon to ltry to introduce Hydro to the North. 'er. Preston questioned some of the H facts and figures given by Mr. Amos ’lThe latter had said the capital of the 'gNorthern Canada Power was $35,000.- ’I 000.00. Mr. Cross'thought this was no:' v'the real capital invested. but the said ' capital with lots of water. He thought lthe Hydro should make an early start ;' to serve the peeple of the North. A. E. Stephenson expressed himself as 0p- posed to public ownership and he cor- rected figures given by Mr. Cross in re- )gard to the cost of light and power in 'the North and elsewhere. Mr. Lang- don said that hydro would surely come to the North and he thought it would .be poor policy to wait until the price I of the plants and business 'went up be- ' fore purchase by the Government. Mr. lLeishman. delegate from Haileybury, suggested that the resolution be refer- _ red back to the various boards for fur- ither consideration and taken up againl at the annual meeting in February. F. Lendrum, of Cobalt. said he believed lin public ownership. He questioned isc-me of Mr. Amos’ figures. Mr. Pres- iton. of~ Englehart, was strongly in fav- f our of the resolution. He believed the EHydro one of the finest institutions in Ithe world. He thought the Govern- take over other developments. A. E. Stephenson frankly said he did not believe public ownership a good plan from the way it worked out so often. He corrected figures given by Mr. Cross 'in regard to rates at Gravenhurst. Eventually the resolution was sent back [to the various boards for further con- sideration before the annual meeting in February. - C. W. Wright spoke briefly of the kindness and interest of the T. N. O. in providing a North Land information . coth at the Toronto Exhibition this year. A resolution of thanks was heartily passed to the T. N. O. for this decided service to the North. l The resolution from Iroquois Falls 5recommending that the' Government broadcasting station be placed at Burke’s as most suitable for Northern Ontario was passed. Mr. Thompson, who conducts the radio station at North Bay gave a very interesting explana- tion of the situation, showing that to best serve the North the station should be in the Sudbury district. It wauld cost tens of thousands of dollars a year for the land lines necessary at Bourke's, he said. Mr. Cross and Dr. Armstrong, however, said they had as- surance that Bourke’s had been sur- veyed and considered. Mr. Thompson and Mr. Thorpe (Haileybuzy) moved an amendment to defer the matter to next meeting, but this was last. President Langdon was asked to write the gasoline companies asking why gas, which, according to Mr. Auger, New Liskeard. costs 16 cents per gallon at Toronto. wholesale, should be sold at 31 cents wholesale in New Liskeard, the freight rate being only a little over 5 cents per gallon. statement to show the power corpora. ttminoneyeethadpaidintamflfl.- con. 0! which 072,401 had gone to muni- cipalitlu. 0170.233 to the province. and 083.200 to the federal government.

With fireworks and crackers, no chances we take, If faces get near them it‘s quite a mis- take, We light them and run, for we now are too wise, To be careless with things which might injure our eyes. The lines as above have been placed on an illustrated coloured chart, about 18 by 24 inches in size, and is specially adapted for hanging in school class- rooms. This is one of many forms of educa- tion being conducted by the National Institute for the Blind in a national crusade against the causes of blind- ness. Pop guns and arxows are always good fun. But we can‘t forget all the mischief they' ve done. And brother's or sister's eye might get put out, So we shoot them only when on one's about. When-ever we carry our scissors or knives, We hold them points down for fear of our lives; And keep them well out of a little child’s way, Who might hurt her eyes with them when she's at play. ' The books that we read all have print large and clear; We sit up quite straight and don't hold them too near; Behind our left shoulder the window gives light, Or a lamp that‘s well shaded, as soon as it’s night. Beautiful Eyes We wash our eyes carefully morning and night, . And dry them with towels that are clean and are white.

The family did not have the money to save the youngster's life but the the shriners took'a hand. It will be pleasant for those who en- Joyed the parade and drills put on in Timmins by the Bhriners last summer to remember that there is another side to the happy lives of the Shrinersâ€"the side of service to others and especially to children. The youngster with the tubercular knee was sent to Toronto for operations and treatment. He is all cured now and promises to grow up a healthy and happy and useful lad. Since the Shriners took his case in' hand they have had four annual cele- brations. No wonder they enjoy them- ‘ selves! They have bought the right in the finest way! All the passengers on the train caught the same spirit of kindness for that boy. Two travellers helped him dress in the morning.

Mr. Finlayson is As a matter of fact, however, The Advance would not care to criticize ad- versely the administration of the plan, though some of the new settlers do. It is the basis of the plan itself that The Admnce fears, so fax as this North is concerned. Unless the new settlers start out with a clearing of a few acres and with the necessary buildings how are they going to keep going, with no chance for the sale of pulp or timber or employment on the roads?

Indeed. on the one point particulaily touched upon by Mr. Fin-q laysonâ€"that of red tapeâ€"his letter' practically proves the case. Anyone noting all those mentioned by Hon. Mr. Finlayson as assisting in the plan will feel that it would be about impossible to avoid red tape under such condi- tions. The fact that all this help is simply “loaned" from other depart- ments is surely beside the point. It may be interesting to the discouraged settlers to know that the cost is charged up to another branch or department, but the fact remains that there seems to be ' a large number concerned in the plan and a few of them likely or able to give! their time and effort without being' paid.

The youngsters seem reticent about giving details. but it would appear there are some who fail to pay for- their paper each week and then when the amount seems a very large one to the youngster. the debtor seems to forget about it. In no case is the amount a very serious mat- ter to the person getting the paper, but it is very important to the boy or girl. Many of these youngsters are doing their bit these day to help along the family at home and it is surprising how much their help amounts to. There are very few people who would defraud a newsboy or newsgirl of their money. Knowing the youngster trusted you, the idea of betraying the trust is not likely to come along. Chiefly it is a matter of thoughtlessness or forgetfulness. Remember it means little to you, but a lot to the youngsters. and pay the little account right away. l I suggests a course in laughter in the schools. In our school days excellent results were secured with no more ela- borate equipment than a bent pin. it does not appear too probable. It is encouraging. however to note the cure made in selecting the settlers. That does give hope. In the meantime The Advance feels that the land-clearing plan with settlement afterwards would mean the most for the relief of unem- ployment and the permanent and suc- cessful settlement of the North.
