He worked for a time at the Lake Shore Mine, the Beaver Mine and Kirkland Lake Go d Mine.

BYRD‘s SECOND E_ ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION According to word from Toronto reâ€" turns now being completed for presenâ€" tation to the Legislature which opened this wtek will show, it is reported, that the Henry administration had 60,000 men on Northern Development and roadwork payrolls at the time of the last provincial election, and that unâ€" der the rotrenchment policy of the present government that nuinber, in D:cember last, had been reduced to about 8000. In as much as the returns which the government is now preparing were demanded by the Opposition, there is likelihcod that former Premiet Henry and his followers will take sharp issue with the accuracy of the figures already revealed. Don‘t forget to go to the C. W. L. bridge toâ€"night (Thursday) at the Parâ€" ish hall. Nexxt Tuesday evening a congregaâ€" tional social is to be held in the Parish hall of St. Paul‘s church.

Of the impression that Hon. Peter Hesnan‘s Northern Development Deâ€" partment activities are to be brought under close secrutiny by the Conservaâ€" tive Opposition this session, the govâ€" ernment is saigq to be preparing counâ€" t*r blasts against the administration of William Finlayson, K.C., who had charge of this department when the Conservatives were in power. It is reported that the speech of Mayor Cox, ML.A., Port Arthur, which was to have providsd one of the warmâ€" est attacks on the Finlayson adminisâ€" tration a year ago, but which had to be postponed, through failure to make it at the proper time in House debates, will be delivereq this session. A new telegraphic service, opsrated on shortâ€"ware wireless system, to Val d‘Or, a thriving mining town in Northern Quebec. was announced by D. E.

Prepare to Instal Storage Tanks the subject oi talk on "Reliâ€" Despatches from Callander in reâ€" ference to the matter say that Mr. Daâ€" foe states that his understanding is to the effect that the Government plan a public park in the area which includes the land occupied by the Dafoe hospiâ€" tal, home of the quintuplets and the Dionne farm home where the children were born. Last week, stated Mr. Dionne this week to newspaper reporters, a sheriff‘s officer served him with a writ of apâ€" propriation. In addition to the land on which the hcspital, built with Dionne‘s permisâ€" sion, stands a strip 200 feet deep on the south side of the road running past the hospital is included. It is on this strip that Dionne‘s home and farm buildings stand. Dionne said his father, O‘iver Dionne who holds a small mortgage on Oliva‘s farm and Alex Legros, owner of the land adjoining the hospital to the east and proprietor of a souvenir stand in front of the hospital, also had been served. Part of Dionne Farm The plot on which the hospital stands was originally a part of Dionne‘s farm. Under an agreement dated August 21, 1934, the original board of guardians of the ‘bazsies was granted permission to erect a hospital on the land. "There was no need at all for exproâ€" priating land on the south side of the road.‘" Dionne is quoted. as saying. Plans he had in mind for the coming Summer were upset by the Governâ€" ment‘s action, he said. He had not been told whether he would be permitted to move the home where the children wers born. interests offered him $10,000 and new home recently for the old woodsn bu:ldâ€" The land has been in the Cionne family for 35 years. Oliver Dionne setâ€" tled on it then and erected the farm house a short while Oliva was born there and has lived in the building all his life. Oliva Dionne Said to be Preâ€" paring to Contest Action of Government in Matter Hot Dog Sstand Blamed Despatches from Toronto quoting the governiment opinion in the matter seem to blame the whole thing on that p‘eâ€" bian institution, the hot doz stand. One despatch says that a souvenir stand, so close to the Dafoe hospital that the Dionne quintuplets could smell hot dogs cooking led the Ontario govâ€" ernment on behalf of the quintuplets to start expropriation proceedings for acâ€" quiring the land with a 200â€"f0ot fronâ€" tage from the owner, Alex Legros, acâ€" ccrding to Hon. David Croll, Minister of Tublic Welfare. Expropriate Land for Park for Babies Another piece of property Quaker Flour Always the Same Always the Best P Always the Same @@ Always the Best FOR BREAD CAKES AND PASTRY imilar MISS A. J. ROF, Housebold Editor The Country Guide says : "I have no hesitation in recommending Quaker Flour and the Quaker Easy Method of Baking as a system that saves time and trouble and gives excellent uniform results." Leading Household Science Authorities recommend Quaker Flour and Quaker Method of Easy Baking Alex Legros is the husband of on of the midwives and a relative to Mrs Dionne. Treating the five little sisters of Notrâ€" thern Ontario alike in every respect, he writes in the Cosmopolitan Magazine is not conducive to the development of the individual. He suggests they should be dressed in different colours, given different toys and even different food. "They should find playmates outsids," he adds, "They should have frequent contacts with their brothers and elder sisters, and as little fuss as possible should be made about the fact that they are quintuplets. Every manifestation of their nascent individuality should be encouraged. This may be enough for the present; the future requires more drastic changes." In each case Judge T. F. Battle, of North Bay, will fix the price and the land will be paid for by the guardians. A start toward expropriating the Dionne land, which Mr. Croll said was rock and had never been farmed, was made last October after Dionne declinâ€" ed to negotiate, the chief guardian addâ€" ed. The reason for wishing to have the rocky Dionne land, which was not part of Dionne‘s farm, was to prevent exploiters stepping in and buying the property. "Everyone believed the hot dog stand operated ‘by the midwives was for the benefit of the children, and the high prices charged led to reaction against the guardians," Mr. Croll said. "We made an offer and tried to carry on negotiations but Legros would not negotiate. He askt;d for an unreasonâ€" able amount and we let Judge Batt‘le fix the price." frontage on the opposite side of the bhospital across the road from the Dionne home is being acquired from Oliva Dionne. the father of the babies, by expropriation proceedings, Mr. Croll said. Psychologically, Dr. Adler writes, the separation from their family is not an asset. He recalls that the parents may visit the quints every day, but contends their influence and their privileges are restricted. New York Despatch Criticized Outside the reference to the interâ€" ference with the rights of the parents to have opportunity to mould and guard and guide their children, all that this supposedly eminent psycholog‘st says may be treated as just so much eye wash from the deep blue sea. The Dionnes may well say "Phooey to you from me!" to this doctor, but unforâ€" tunately they have been defrauded of their rights to resent outside interferâ€" ence from governmental sources. Dr. Dafoe‘s answer to the article in The Cosmopolitan magazine was to say that its value could be measured by the fact that it was published in a fiction magazine. A despatch this week from Hudson, Ontario, says that George Wiggle, a laborer, working undergrouhd at the Howey Gold Mines in the Red Lake area, narrowly escaped fatal injuries when loose rock fell on him. Wiggle was garbeq in a miner‘s helmet and heavy rubber clothing, which probably saved his life. He was badly hurt. and is how in Red Cross hospital.

(By Barbara B. Brooks) Outâ€"witting winter on its own damp or icy field is a game that calls for wisdom, courage and enduransce. FPorâ€" tunately the rules of the struggle allow us to use all the weapons that we can devise. We fortify ourselves within heated buildings for the most part, but are forced into frequent hand to hand encounters in which we must depend upon the armor of warm clothes and the heat of our bodies to overcome the rigors of cold weather. A dawelling can be bought for a life time; fuel for heating it and clothes to wear, at least for a season; but food must be supplied daily. In the long run man‘s chief defence against cold is a healthy body. Winter meals must give us the fuel we need for heat as well as work and the materials we need for building and maintaining good health.
