Got His Divorce and Damages of $500.00 A despatch from Haileybury last week told of a shattered romance, a divorce granted, $500.00 damages secured for alienation of a wife‘s affections, all at the one court, and Kirkland Lake man being the hero of the trial, but the victim of the circumstances. Grouse for Museum Taken from Timmins separately and packed in a specially built case. They were then taken diâ€" rect to Ottawa by Mr. White himself. At the Royal Canadian Museum at Ottawa each bird is catalogued and compidete record kept of its markings in detail, measurements and weight. The crop and intestines are examined for scientific purposes. The fimer speciâ€" mens are skinned and mounted. Mr. White stated that these birds are the sharpâ€"tailed grouse which is a Norâ€" thern bird and its range extends from Alaska down through the Prairle Proâ€" vinces across the northern part of Onâ€" tario, along the shores of Hudson and James Bay, up into Northern Quebec and Ungava Bay district and into the southern rlart of Baffin Island. They are the same species of ‘bird that is commonly called the prairie chicken around Manitoba. Where this bird is found in the southern part of the Prairie Provinces it shows more Oof a yellowish tinge on the breast and more white on the outer parts, which may just be due to feeding or climatic conâ€" ditions.

She paid part, if not all of the expenses of the wedding. Then she dug down into her bank account and furnished him assistance to come to the gold camp, later following herâ€" self. He could not secure job, alâ€" though she went out to the mines with him to prove to the employment agents that he was a married man. Finally, United States as "Ted", spent the 15th and 16th in a vicinity of Timmins makâ€" ing a study of the ruffied grouse at present wintering in this section of the province.

Mr. E. F. G. White, better known to for orcupine Aopance TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22ND, 1932 As to the proper discharge of my responsibilities in administering restrictive immigraâ€" tion,, the official record best tells the story. For the year ending March 31st, 1930, a total of 163,288 persons had been admitted; for the year ending March 3ist, 1931, 88,223. The year ending March 31st, 1932, saw the real effect of the restrictive policy when a total of only 25,752 immigrants were admitted and there has been a further decline during the first seven monthks of the present yearâ€"only persons having entered during that period. In the Fall of 1930 the Presidents of the two Railways, Mr. E. W. Beatty, President of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and Sir Henry Thornton, then President, of the Canadian National Railways, met in my office in Ottawa and after thoroughly reviewing the situaâ€" tion were in agreement with the policy I have indicated. The Premiers of all Provinces were communicated with and unanimously endorsed the principle of a "holiday‘" on immiâ€" grationâ€"and the substitution therefor of a concerted effort towards colonization within Canada on the lines I have stated. In so far as immigration and colonization, is concerned, the question of nation buildâ€" ing in a young country such as ours is of primary importance. Immigration to Canada in the several years prior to 1930 had averaged approximately 160,000 persons per annum. While the immigration of agriculturists had‘ been encouraged, it was the experience that many of those so classified gravitated to our urban centres attracted by high wages and became engaged in industrial work. My study and analysis of the situation on taking office in 1930 convinced me that two lines of action were necessary:â€" (a) Adoption of a restrictive immigration policy. (b) The efforts of all agencies previously given to the encouragement of immigration should be devoted to the colonization and placing in productive employment of people already within our borders. We are continuing resolutely the policy of preserving to our own people labour opporâ€" tunities existing in Canada and at the same time, of course, exercising business prudence in admitting desirable people who have suficient capita,l to settle and those who are actual and potential employers of labour. With the close of a strenuous Parliamentary session, I realize perhaps more clearly than ever before the penalties imposed by a Cabinet position in that I am not free to return home as often as I desire to give you a personal account of my stewardsh:p as your representative. In these days of difficult problems, common alike to our people and those in other parts of the world, citizens individually are giving more serious thought to our problems and also, quite properly to the conduct of administration of public affairs by their repreâ€" sentatives elected for that purpose. My own view of this latter aspect is, after all, simply defined:â€"I was elected by my constituents to do a certain job to the best of my abilityâ€" to discharge a public trustâ€"and I consider it a duty as well as a privilege to report to the people of my own district such contribution as I have been able to make towards the betterâ€" ment of our social and economic conditions. The triple portfolioâ€"Labour, Mines, Immi@gration and Colonizationâ€"imposes squarely upon me certain reponsibilities for which I must answer and I confess quite frankly that my twentyâ€"five years‘ residence in the North Country in close association with a rugged, forthright people, in a district where the primary industries of agriculture, mining and lumbering have given us a diversity of occupation enjoyed by few districts in this or any other country, is perhaps the bestâ€"at least it is in my mindâ€"and most worthwhile school of training a man could have as a background for public duties under present trying conâ€" ditions. Hon. W. A. Gordon Givesâ€"an Account of his Stewardship. Facing the Problems of These Trying Days. Adoption of a Restricâ€" tive Emigration Policy. "Colonization at Home" Movement. « .The Value of the Mining Industry to Canada. Imperial Conâ€" ference had, Value Beyond Material Advantage in Bringing the People of the Empire into Closer Fraternal Touch. Inâ€" dividual Resource and Initiative of the Northern People an Inspiration and Encouragement. To the People of Temiskaming: Arising out of the meeting with the Presidents of the Railways, decision was taken to launch a coâ€"operative "Colonization at Home Movement" by the Department of Immigraâ€" tion and Colonization and the Colonization Departments of the two Railways. For the two year period ending September 30th last, this movement has resulted in the recorded settlement of 9,493 families having personal capital and previous experience, and the placeâ€" ment of 20,689 single men in farm employment. This has meant (on the basis of five members per family) a total of 68,154 persons absorbed into our agricultural life. During the course of the work it was found that there were many families with preâ€" vious farm experience genuinely desirous of earning a subsistence on the land but who had no money or material assets of consequence. Having regard to this situation, the Federal Government, on my recommendation, decided to apply expenditures that would otherwise inevitably be made in the form of direct relief to maintain such families in urban centres towards assisting selected families to settle on the land where they would have an opportunity of selfâ€"support. The Federal Government put this proposal to all Provinces May 6th of this year. Eight of the nine Canadian Provinces have entered into Settlement Agreements with the Dominion Government. One thousand, six hundred and fifty famiâ€" lies have already been settled under this plan and a much greater volume of settlement is indicated for next year. This Relief Settlement Plan has not been put forward by any means as complete solution of our unemployment problem, nor does any practical man expect 100 p.c. permanent settlement. It is on of the practical avenues open to us in meeting our unemployment situation and it is worthy of noteâ€" at no greater cost to the taxpayers of Canada than maintaining the same families on direct relief. As Minister of Mines, I would not seek to take to myself undue credit for any of the achievements of our mining industry. That credit properly belongs to our prospectors, mine workers, operators and those who back their faith with their money in our mineral resources, but I do state with great satisfaction that the record of gold production in Norâ€" thern Ontario during the past two years has written a page in our history which cannot be erased and it may fairly be said that the production of our Northern Ontario gold mines has been a bulwarkâ€"in fact a stopâ€"log of first importanceâ€"in the troubled times through which we have been passing. Canada will have a total gold production this year exceedâ€" ing $65,000,000 in value. Northern Ontario mines will produce about $50,000,000 of this. The portfolio of Labour has brought me face to face with the difficulties and adverâ€" sities which have beset many of our own citizens, in common with people of other counâ€" tries, for it must be admitted by all that our situation, as with other countries, is in large measure the result of worldâ€"wide forces arising out of problems common to the human race, including the War and its aftermath, and that certain phases of these problems can have their solution only through International Agreement and action. Thé Dominion Government has made adequate provision, in conjunction with the provinces and municiâ€" palities, that undue hardship will not be suffered by those of our less fortunate fellowâ€"men who, at present, are facing adversiti¢és beyond their control. While many millions of dolâ€" lars have been expended to provide necessities, it is the purpose of the Dominion Governâ€" ment that such assistance will continue to be given until the return of improved conditions which we confidently expect. It is well to bear in mind in this connection that our own people must ultimately bear, through the process of taxation, the cost of this direct relief and it is, therefore, clear that a grea.l: trust is imposed upon those of us who are earnestly endeavouring to cope with the unemployment problem in taking adequate steps to ensure that abuses are not permitted in the expenditure of public mon‘es for relief purposes. The past year has witnessed the Imperial Economic Conference held in Ottawa looking to the betterment of trade within the Empire. The very circumstance of this gathering of Empire statesmen in our own country has meant much to Canada and whatever may be the difference in the views of individuals with respect to the practical achievements of that Conference, we are all of one mindâ€"that the holding of this Conference in the Capital of our own countryâ€"thereby making us during that time in spirit and in fact the heart of the Empireâ€"was an historical event without pasaliel. In our dayâ€"toâ€"day meetings and contacts with such British Statesmen as Baldwin, Chamberlain and Runciman (Englang); O‘Kelly (Irish Free State); Coates<â€"(New Zealand); Bruce (Australia); Havanga (South Africa); Chatterjee of India; and Moffat (South Rhodesia), we were able to come to unâ€" derstandings such as correspondence would never accomplish in appreciating the problems of the United Kingdom and the sister Dominionsâ€"all with the common purpose of promoâ€" (Continued on Page Three) As I have stated in the House on many occasions, I am not persuaded that the diffiâ€" culties of our situation are insurmountable, rather it is my beliefâ€"staking my faith on the character and integrity of our peopleâ€"on their demonstrated initiative, combined with a rectification of certain important phases of our condition that must inevitably be brought about in the near future by international accord, this country will not only pull through but will witness steady upward progress, and I have every reason for believing that this will not be too long delayed. A Message from "the Minister from the North" Ottawa, December 21st, 1932 _ ) priritectuctiattetinet. Aist bade d F ! If Santa Claus against the top of Â¥ _Â¥ ‘avtin~nia af France has a Case in Regard to War Debts If all those who are so anxious these days to defend Germany and urge the forgetting of the war reparations, would say a word in behalf of France and the attitude of that ally of Britain in the late war, there would be greater justice done than has been the case in some quarters in regard to France. It may be that these people who feel so kindly and charitable towards Germany think that France being an ally is not entitlâ€" ed to any more kindness than given to Britain. There are people like that. Everybody is not so bad excep}t their brothers. It is a funny world like that. However, France has a case, and the average thoughtful man will feel that France has shown her usual logic and courage in the stand she is taking now. The attitude of France may not be the ideal one to some, but it does remain a fact that France, on account of her part in the world these many years, is entitled to much more kindly considerâ€" ation than Germany, Russia, China and some Oother nations that are reâ€" ceiving a lot of maudlin sympathy in certain quarters these times. United States Eughred the Nations into Reduction of Reparations, on Unâ€" derstanding that War Debts Also to be Revised. It is pleasing to note that The Ottawa Journal is one of the daily newspapers giving France a square deal these days. An editorial in a recent issue of The Ottawa Journal is wonth careful readâ€" ing both for its manner and its matter. The editorial is as follows:â€" Why France Won‘t Pay Mice would hardly petition against cats with greater unanimity than memâ€" bers of the French Chamber of Deâ€" puties voted against puyment of the French war debt to Washington. Beâ€" hind this, it would almost seem, there is more than what was expressed by the French deputies. Even during the war, little love was lost between the poilus and the doughboys. General Pershing may or may not have said "Lafayette, we are here," but the French somehow couldn‘t help thinking that Lafayette might have been addressed a little earliâ€" er. Then, to make matters worse, came Mr. Wilson. "He talks like the Saviour," said Clemenceau, "and acts like Lloyd George." And as Wilson went on to fight against the Rhineland being annexed, or against an independâ€" ent state beingâ€"set up there, and would not or couldn‘t do much about French security, he got on French nerves. Later on came the American fiasco over the League of Nations, the Washington runâ€"out on the. Angloâ€"Americanâ€" French Treaty, and so on and so forth, with the result that relations became strained. Even â€" William Randolph Hearst (on this side) grew critical. Miriamme (as they call France) reâ€" members these things now. She reâ€" calls that between 1923 and 1929 she was the only girl for whom prosperous Uncle Sam wouldn‘t buy a drink; that while he threw money about here and there, and seemed to want to make loans to everybody, he gave her the cold shoulder. And Miriamme, as all history shows, has a tenacious memory. There are, of course, other factors. Last year, on the initiative of Mr. Hoover, Washington called for suspenâ€" sion of all interâ€"governmental debts. What it meant, for France, was tha} Germany wouldn‘t need to pay her the money with which France pald the United States. Monsieur Laval, then the French Premier, made a trip to Washington, talked to Mr. Hoover. When the talk was over there was a joint communique (as much American as French) the effect of which was that in the event of the European nations taking the initiative (taking the initiative, that is, about letting Germany off from reâ€" parations) there might ‘be a new arâ€" rangement covering war debts during the depression. Germany, on this understanding, was forgiven reprrarations. She was given a clear moratorium for three years; after that a reduction in what she ‘had to pay of 90 per cent. France clearly thoughtâ€"her statesmen said soâ€"that, in the light of the Lavalâ€"Hoover unâ€" derstanding, war debts would be made easy too, perhaps forgiven. In other words, no reparations, no war debts. And so the French, who are nothing if not logical, can‘t now see why they should pay the United States when they are not being paid by Germany. Not being paid (as they argue) beâ€" cause of the United States. Perhaps it would have been better had France decided to payâ€"â€"with reâ€" servations. > Taken the posiâ€" tion.
