working eight hours per day for their board and an allowance of $5.00 per month. With the approgch of winter, he continued, it was decided to carry on the board camps and increase the allowance to $10.00 per month so as to enable the men to equip themselvep with winter clothing. More than 9,000 men are taking advantage of the camps and this number is at present employed on Transâ€"Canada highway work in Ontario, During, the period November 1, 1931, to October 31, 1932, a total of 2,118,498 The first winter‘s work was disconâ€" tinued on April 30, 1932. As many of the sipgle men and transients employâ€" ed were homeless,, both Federal and Provincial Governments decided to perâ€" mit 3,000 of them to remain in camp The peak employment last winter was more than . 12,500 and the total expenditure on the Ontario portion of the highway was $6,170,193. Mr. Sinton declared remarkable results had been achieved, particularly in view of the fact that work had been done so far as practical without aid of maâ€" chinery. of Canada in convention at Ottawa last week by James Sinton, chief enâ€" gineer of the Ontario Department of Northern Development. About the Work on â€" Transâ€"Canada Road Figures revealing the number of men given work on the Transâ€"Canada highâ€" way project and the total expenditure involved, which indicate the scheme has provided results far beyond the exâ€" pectations of most of its sponsors, were submitt.ed to the Engineering Institute Interesting Paper Read Last Week Beâ€" fore Institute of Engineers Convenâ€" tion at Ottawa, â€" Some Facts About Transâ€"Canada Highway. AY, FPEBRUARY 1sTH, 1933 Ask your Dooler or J. G. GIRSON, 49 .léme Sti'eet North Bay. Teorcnto Saturday Night:â€"Our sugâ€" gesticn for the ten most beautiful words in the English language is: "Yeur application for position acceptâ€" ed. Report for work at once." Most of the men were unskilled in the use of roadâ€"making tools but, under the tuition of experienced camp erecâ€" tion crews, "it was only a short time until axes were ringing and dynamite rcaring threcugh the virgin bush of Northern Ontaric.‘" One of the most difficult problems in connecticn with preliminary arrangeâ€" ments, he said, was the commissariat. After long negctiations a contract was entered into for the boarding of . the men and the supply of all blankets, steel cots, heateérs and other camp equipment at a rate of 80 cents per man per day. The caterers subsequentâ€" ly reduced the rate to 60 cents per day during the summer of 1932 and for the winter board camps 1932â€"1933, a furâ€" ther reduction was rrgde to 50 cents per man per day. Ontario‘s contribution to the mileâ€" aze of the Transâ€"Canada highway, Mr. Sinton psinted out, is in .the neighâ€" boaurhocd of oneâ€"third of the entire coastâ€"toâ€"ccast mileage, or roughly 1,â€" 400 miles. The route has been designatâ€" ed from the Quebec boundary through the Ottawa Valley to North Bay and from Schreiber, on the north shore of Lake Superiog to the Manitoba boundâ€" ary. The remaining pontion of the route will nst be decided upon until such time as aerial and ground surâ€" veys have uncovered sufficient inforâ€" mation in regard to the alternativ® route available. s cubic yards of earth and 681,333 cubic yards cf rock were excavated on Onâ€" tario‘s portion of the Transâ€"Canada highway. In addition to the 96 miles of completed grading, partial grading on the highway extended over a disâ€" tance of 550 miles. 18 "[Results Last Week of McIntyre Bowling Bettiql ...

Answering the question, "Where is the Government going to end up in this?" he stated that !the Government will expect municiâ€" palities to accept a greater part of the responsibility and so help to pull themâ€" selves out of the hole. ' Premier, rose through administrative ranks to earn his selection and election to the important position he fills on ability. Premi‘er Henry served in other important cabinet positions before asâ€" suming the premiership and during his "The Government is coping with the situation to the fullest extent possible and will continue to do so," he stated. "However, there :s to be a closer superâ€" v‘sion on the part of the Governments, but no person will be allowed to suffer," he added. Concluding, he reminded his hearers that they have in Hon. R. B. Bennett a man of great leadership qualities, highly regarded throughout the doâ€" minion and one who is prepared to sacâ€" rifice his all if need be in serving his Speaking of relief, he stated that the Government had changed from the unâ€" employment plan to the direct relief plan for the reason that the former system had imposed unbearable liabiliâ€" ties on municipalities through the neâ€" cessity for purchasing material to carry on public works, and for the rea# son that a large percentage of the money was expended for material that was not the product of labour. It was therefore decided that all relief would be issued on a district basis with the: government sharing the cost with the municipalities. * | He went on to state that in these times of stress and strifé political forces should pull together and not tear the country and its people further apart. He lauded Hon. Mr. Malcolm and Hon. Mr. Dunning, of the Dominion Liberal party, for their declarations that this is no time to rock the policital boat. At the same time he severely consored those parading about the country asâ€" sailing Governments and preaching blue ruin. He predicted the people will measure this class and in due course see that they receive their just deserts. . "World conditions toâ€"day can be atâ€" tributed to national débts under which nations and people are crushed," the speaker stated, "and we will not be able to return to normalcy until the debtor and creditor nations of the world get together and remove these hindrances to industry." He broke into his address proper by treating with the economic situation, tracing the plight in which the people rof the world now find themselves to three conditions, world production, disâ€" tribution and interâ€"industrial growth. Out : of industrial development grew problems, peculiar to all nations and ‘fronmnr it all came tariffs as a form of selfâ€"protection. One â€" country raised= ~tariff> walls against the other and in the natural course »of retaliation |extremes â€" were reached. Even Conservatives, who orâ€" dinarily favour protection, realize that there will have to be a scaling down of tariffs in order to restore prosperity on universal scale. The Great War alsoâ€" contributed to bringing about deâ€" pressed times in being responsible for: putting mill stones, in the forms of un-' Hearable debts, about the necks of nations. l PFoliowing »a rig.d checkingâ€"up on those receivingâ€"relief in Kirkland Lake some cases of apparent fraud have been uncovered. As a result two men apâ€" peared in police court some days ago on charges of fraud, the cases being reâ€" manded for a week. In each of these two cases the value of the goods said to wrongly obtained was placed around $5.00/, One manâ€"was representâ€" ed by a lawyer who asked and obâ€" tained a remand for a week, as his client was on night shift and so could not be present for the day court but the following week the change of shift would give him a chance to attend court. With the one man thus reâ€" manded, a similar remand was also given the other case by Magistrate Atâ€" kinson. There may be amendments to the charges made against the men, as the Kirkland Lake authorities are anxâ€" ious to take the most effective methods to stamp out any abuses in regard to reélief. pull through, for they are entirely free from "defeatism," he stated. ‘"The Conservative Governments will guide the ships of state around the dangerâ€" ous rocks to reach higher pinnacles of progress than was ever antic.pated," he added.

In that case Toiva explained that it was "only an old Finnish custom." He adâ€" mitted that Waino was struck by the beer bottle on the head, but this was only an accident, the old Finnish cusâ€" tom of hitting the nearest hard object with the first bottle of homeâ€"brew havâ€" ing gone a little astray. Last week Toiva and Waino were again in the Kirkland Lake court again. This time Waino charged Toiva with cutting his arm with a knife for no apparent reaâ€" that a proportion of them, at least, were wildly astray. The country was done a disservice when this miserable plan was adopted. We do not see that anybody was benefitted by it, and we need only look around to see its baneâ€" ful effects. To paraphrase Shakespeare it curses him who gives and him who takes. The taxpayers (those who are able to keep off the relief rolls themâ€" selves) are wrathful because the direct relief cannot possibly be administered without irregularities creeping in, and they form their own estimates of the rights of others whom they know to draw such relief at their expense. The recipients of direct relief, while they may welcome the tempsrary sustenâ€" ance given to them, know that the whole plan is wrong from top to botâ€" $ IT ANOTHER OLD FINNISH CUSTOM AT KIRKLAND LAKE? for the adoption ¢f the present plan of direct relief have been justified in the light of experience or not; but it is cerâ€" DIRECT RELIEF A CURSE TO BOTH SIDES CONCERNED (From The Kapuskasing Tribune) We do not know if some of the calâ€" son, except, perhaps, a touch of misâ€" taken identity in a case of uncalledâ€"for jealosusy in regard to a fair dame. The doctor, who sewed up Waino‘s arm gave evidence as to the extent of the inâ€" juries â€"of the complainant. The latter and a couple of cthers present at the time told about the attack on Waino and threats made upon his Jlife. At the preliminary hsaring of the case Toive‘s defence was that the whole thing was a "frameâ€"up," though he did not suggest that this was‘another old Finnish custom.
