Few, if any, townships in the North are able to do this; consequently the settler in an orâ€" ganiged township may experience hardâ€" ship and diificulty, but it is rather sugzâ€" gestive of can be done without assistance when one finds some of these settlers getting along very well. Unaer the Relief Land Settlement plan a settler may be settled in eith=: an organized or an unorganized townâ€" ship, but it makes no difference to the assistance he receives. Out of the $600 which stands to his credit he is able to buy material for the necessary buildâ€" ings on his homestead and also a cow Complexities of Land Settiement and Relief. First of all may I say that the presâ€" ent situation with respect to the settleâ€" men of people on the homesteads ~of Northern Ontario presents many comâ€" plexities which cannot ‘be understood apart from a study of the situation. Much of the dissatisfaction and unrest arises out of misunderstanding. Before any intelligent criticism can be offered on the situation one must know where to allocate responsibility. It ought to be understood by those who are not in touch with the situation that all the settlers who have come to northern homesteads recently have not come under the Relief Land Settlement plan. Many have come on their own responsibility and with>ut planned asâ€" sistance. If such a settler takes up a homestead in an unorganized township he may apply and secure direct relief if his circumstances warrant it. The settler receiving direct relief is not limited to any filat rate monthly. The amount he receives is determined hy It is perhaps to be expected that any such a plan should come under a barrage of criticism. This may be exâ€" pected from various sourcesâ€"from poliâ€" tical opposition, since it is fostered by the Government; from individuals who are not satisfied with the experiment and who use the public press to make known their dissatisfaction; from those who believe its administration has been faulty and unwise, and from officials of municipalities participating who feel their their citizens have not had a fair deal. Considers Land Settlement Plan is Working Fairly Well In Ontario the scheme is known as "the Relief Land Settlement Plan."â€" Its purpose is to provide the citizen with both financial assistance and superâ€" vision as he makes the transition from industry to agriculture. A fund of $600 is provided to assist the settler in getâ€" ting a start on a homestead in the Clay Belt of Northern Ontario. This sum is made by contributions of $200 each from the Federal and Provincial Govâ€" ernments and the municipality from which the settler migrates. This amount is not a loan charged against the settler‘s homestead, as has been sometimes understocd, but a grant of money under the control of supervisors to assist families in financing the iniâ€" tial cost of establishing themselves on a homestead. Periods of depression bring a change of outlook.. The advantages of living upon the land begin to make themâ€" selves apparent. Where unemployment is so widespread and long continued as in the case of the depression now upon us, it is to be expected that there should be a ‘"‘backâ€"toâ€"theâ€"land" movement. Assisted Land Settlement Many countries are taxing advantage of this attitude of mind and are atâ€" tempnting to correct the disproportion of urban and rural by assisted land settlement. That this is a costly undertaking is beyond dispute, but apâ€" parently no country has discovered any other method of meeting a condition where urban populations have sutgrown proportions which permit successful economic functioning. Thesse schemes may differ in detail in various counâ€" tries, or in different provinces within the same country, but the principle underlying all is the sameâ€"financial assistance to the citizen who desires to establish himself on the land. In times of prosperity the drift of population is toward industrial centres with their strong attraction of cash inâ€" comes, stated hours of labour, modern conveniences and the educational and social advantages of the more populous communities. Under normal conditions the urban centres have besn the sucâ€" cessful competitors of the rural disâ€" tricts in their attractiveness for the population:. The matter of the "backâ€"toâ€"theâ€" land" plan is of vital importance to the North Land and for this reason there has been especial attention paid to the objections and complaints made in reférence to the working out of the scheme. Not perhaps as much has been heard in its favour as should have been given out and on this account The Advance welcomed the compreâ€" hensive report made by Revy. J. C. Cochrane, Superintendent of Northern Missions for the United Church, who undertook a thorough investigation Of the farm settlement plan being carâ€" ried on by the Dominion and provinâ€" cial governments. Rev. J. C. Cochrane Made Comprehensive Investigation of the Plan and its Working in Practical Way. Synopsis of His Findings. Benefits of the Land Settlement Scheme as Outlined After Careful Review. Backâ€"toâ€"theâ€"Land The last two years have witnessed quite an extensive internal migration within the province of Ontario which is the direct result of economic condiâ€" tions affecting not only this province but every province in the Dominionâ€" indeed they are common to the whole world. The following gives a summary of the report with a few of the highlights of the report:â€" â€", If such a settler should take up a THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMIN®S, ONTARIO It would be difficult to overâ€"omâ€" phasize the dangers of uncontrolled sentimentality in connection with this situation. Some of the less scrupulous of these settlers are becoming wise to the personal benefits of publicity. Letâ€" ters appear from them in the public press and as a result some goodâ€"heartâ€" ed people send them assistance of variâ€" ous kinds. Usually it is the people who are making no effort to take advantage ¢f their ocpportunity who do the most complaining, and if the newspapers are really conzserned about the public good rather than sensational nswsâ€"mongerâ€" ing they will investigate the authentiâ€" city of some of the complaints before publishing them. Much harm has been done the North Country by the publiâ€" cation of complaints from people who will never make good in any country or in any situation and whose opinions of the country are not worth the paper on which they are written, but are taken at face value by an unsuspecting public. In one home I visited the settler and his wife were bitter in their complaints of the way they had been treated and the prospects of the country. Recentâ€" ly a complaint that they were in a state of semiâ€"starvation found its way into the public press. However, the public ought to also have known that this man refused to work on the roads to augment the amount available for the purchase of groceries and clothing When I asked him about cutting the pulpwood on his homestead he made the excuse that he got his feet wet at the jch. He had been busy before my arrival :n building snowâ€"slides in front of his huuse for his children‘s play. Certainly‘thâ€"re are ro prospects in the North Countr; for the man who is not willing to work hard to make a home for himself and Anis family. Officials from municipalities who visit their former citizens should be Soeme Observations To those who are acquainted with the problems of helping people it is well known that the more you do for people of a certain type, the more diffiâ€" cult it is to place them. There is this danger about assisted land settlement. Our sturdy pioneer forefathers receivâ€" ed no government assistance and did little complaining. I have no hesitaâ€" tion in saying that the hardships of present day pioneering are not to be compared with those of fifty years ago. It will be a mistake to encourage these people to think that the government should do everything for them. Charâ€" acter and independence are nOot develâ€" oped by that method. The settler must be encouraged to attain the status of independence as soon as possible, if this scheme is to be successful. Those able to raise vegetables suffhiâ€" cient for winter supply, 85.

Notwithstanding the continuation of the business depréksion, which now Some months ago H. A. Preston, lodâ€" timer of the North, wrote The Advance saying that his reading of the signs led him to believe that the present winter would be a severe one. He foretold the cold snap in December, and warned against still worse to come. "Look out for 55 below zero in January" he said. The â€"only comfort he gave was that it was to be an early spring. His prophecy in regard to the first part of the winter has turned out to be just right. What about his further foreâ€" casts? Will there be intense cold in February for a time? And will the spring be an early one? Rev. A. J. Bruce, who is looked. upon as the weather sage of Copper Cliff, has a slightly different, and more hopeâ€" ful message. "The backbone of winter has been broken," he says, and adds that we can expect it much easier from now on. The sun is getting higher and its rays are getting stronger. We may have more snow, but we certainly won‘t get any more 40 below zero weather. About the first two weeks in March I expect to see storms and blizzards. ‘They will be uncomfortable, but of short duration." Land Settlement administration beâ€" cause a visiting offitclal stated that a certain sum of money provided for them as they left the municipality was a gift The Relief Land. Settlement officials had charged this amcunt against their $600 fund. 1*took this grievance up with the supervisors and have since reâ€" ceived a copy of the auditors statement showing that this municipality had reâ€" quested the Government to credit this amount on the $200 they provided in each case. There had been a change in the officials of the municipality and the visiting official did not know the facts, but his unfounded statement caused much discontent and unrest. While churches of all denominations are wrestling with the problem of deâ€" creased incomes for missionary work, I feel that there has been a heroic effort on the part of many ministers in the North to keep in touch with these new settlers. I was pleased to find that most ministers were able to act as guides in locating these communities and had personally visited these people in their homes. Occasional religious services have been held in a central home in some of these communities, or in schoolhouses where they are availâ€" able. Some of the ministers have travelied fifty miles to hold these ocâ€" casional services and all are men whose charges already cover large areas. It would be idle to pretend that the situaâ€" tion is being adequately dealt with from the viewpoint of the religious interests of these people. Sunday schools and worship services are urgently needed and there is a great challenge to the church in this opportunity. If the church does not minister to these peoâ€" ple in their need, it is folly to expect to secure their allegiance when the hardâ€" ships of the early pioneering experiâ€" ences are largely past. It is in this period of reâ€"adjustment that ithese people need the ministrations of the church and the fortifying power of reâ€" ligious faith. So, there are the two cases! Watch and see which is right, if either. Bank of Nova Scotia in Very Strong Position Conclusion I think the Relief Land Settlement plan is worth while. I have already indicated that mistakes of its early administration are being corrected. While it is impossible to predict with any assurance the measure ‘bf its sucâ€" cess because of the uncertainty of the conditions controlling the returns from agriculture, I think the whole enterâ€" prise has already been justified â€"from the expressions Oof satisfaction of the great majority of those I visited.
