The News Was informed to- day- Nothing is known here as to what action will be taken by Premier Hepburn or Minister of Education Dr. L. J. Simpson. Dras- tic changes were predicted by Dr. Simpson in his election speeches. for it was fairly well recognized at that time that the: East Sim- coe member would be the new educa- tional head if the Liberals were re- turned. He is a man of wide experience and has shown an active interest in the educational affairs of the province for many years. How he will react to the proposal of the northern Liberals is absolutely unknown. But the party officials here think it is an excellent idea and that if the government does countenance the departure at all Monâ€" teith is the ideal point at which to establish such an institution. It is a beautiful spot and with the already es- tablished High School Academy there. the college would have access to some of the conveniences already in exis- ‘ tence. According to reliable informants here it is not likely that anything tan- ;giblc will be done this fall but that if :the government does decide to accept {the proposal this winter. they will like- My g6 to work “in their usual business- {like manner." Considering Suggestion of Farm College for North The power company brings the lines to a point on the outside wall, from which point the electrical contractor is responsible for the complete wiring in- side.

The Modern Home Requires Many Outlets Through the co-operation of electric power commissions and other power companies. it has been possible to approximate a standardization of fundamental rules for adoption in building by-laws. Allow for Future Conveniences The introduction of electric clocks has shown many householders the need for adequate outlets. Few homes were wired pmnerly for these clocks to be placed on mantels and in kitchens, and similar situations will arise again in future. . The ICgical time for the complete wiring of the modern home is during ELECTRICAL The deveIOpment within the past few years in the number and efficiency of electrically operated home appliances has involved a revision of the formerly accepted standards of house wiring in regard to the capacity for electrical it There is a sort of serious controversy going on at Kirkland Lake. A lady who claims the ability to foretell for- tunes as far as the law allows. says that she adv;sed some of the family recently receiving $500.00 worth of Lake Shore stock that a lucky ticket would be in the family in connection with the re- cent Kiwanis Carnival draw. The family deny this absolutely and so there lts construction when each extension md outlet can be put in with the mini- are letters and interviews in the news- papers about it. Wonder if the lady who says-she can see mto the future foresaw the dispute now under way? the number and location of Bathroom lighting has been under criticism for a long time and the mod- em, indirect and spot lighting is the new vogue.

This arrangement meets the modern demand for different but correct light- ing , Provide Adequate Telephone Facilities North Hopes that T. N.O. Enquiry is” Not. Political To ensure a complete electrical ser- vice. it is always advisable for the own- er to consult with his architect and electrical contractor. upon whose, advice he can depend with confidence. Lighting Is No Long" Merely Illumination The modern conception of lighting extends beyond mere illumination. Light is now recognized as having colour. tone and other characters that make it a very important contributing factor in the architectual and decora- tive scheme of the home. Engineers of telephone companies willingly co-Operate with architects and electrical contractors in planning adequate wiring for a flexible telephone service. At the time of building, out- lets should be provided for in all rooms in which a telephone may be needed. If this provision is made, convenient service can be assured when required. For instance. if you have a guest com- ing. simply transfere an extension from. say the library to the guest room. where an outlet has been provided for the purpose. .An‘.

For these'and other reasons it is hoped that there will be no great changes in the policy adOpted at the start of the T. N. 0., but that it will be permitted to continue for the future, as in the past, an integral part of life in the North. The value of the northern extension to Moosonee has been questioned, prob- ably with some reason. but then the whole. project was bitterly criticized at its inception. and heralded as only another extravagance which would never pay its way. and which might easily sink the province so badly in debt that it would never emerge. These criticisms have been proved quite groundless during the years that the railway has been in operation. and it may well be that the northern section will in time prove of as great import- ance as some of the other areas which have been Opened up. This will be a matter for the investigator to decide. Over a long period there have been no complaints of political favouritism in the affairs of the T. N. D. Em- ployees have been free to follow their own inclinations and have on occasion taken part in campaigns against the ruling party in the province. In many other ways the railway has been treat- ed purely as a public utility and there have been no charges of graft in its management. and it does not seem as if there would be any startling dis- closures made by the investigation." TALKING ABOUT NAMING ROAD AFTER QUINTI'PLETS If life is just one thing after another. news about the quintuplets is even more so. The latest is a proposal that the name “Dionne Highway." or “Quin- tuplet Drive." will be formally applied! to the road connecting the Dionne farm with Callander and Corbeil. The idea is to give a lasting memorial to the five babies born at the Dionne farm. The final decision in the matter of the naming of the road rests with Hon. Peter Keenan. Minister of Lands and Forests and Northern Develop- ment. Hon. Peter Heenan. being an Irishman will likely see that the road is called “Quintuplet” road or avenue. because he will know that such a name would be sure to be shortened by the public to the “”an road. and Quinn is Irish enough to please any Irishman.
