a wide section of the North, and he also had long experience as director of a government experiâ€" mental farm in this country. In addition he knows much about the lumbering business. and. the forest resources of the North, as well as taking a keen and intelligent interest in mining. His address in the Legislature last session on the. North Country attracted very general attention and was the means of giving many in the South a new viewpoint on the North and its possibilities. In a recent issue The Advance published a letter from a Toronto correspondent who gave a strikâ€" ing outline of the value of Mr. Nixon as an able representative of the North. In the past much of the troubles of the North have been due to the fact that the Minister in charge of Northern affairs has not been fully conversant with the real probâ€" _lems of the North. So much has this been the case that on more than one recent occasion the proposal has been seriously made that the Departâ€" ~ment of Northern Development be eliminated and the various branches of the work of the departâ€" : ment be allotted to other existing departments. such a plan the roads of the North" would be under the control of the Minister of Highways; ~agriculture in the North would be under the sole _care of the Ontario Minister of Agriculture; and â€" other matters relating to the North would be turnâ€" over to the several departments of government â€" handling them for the other parts of the province. ?Unless the heads of the Northern Department are _ men thoroughly acquainted with the North and cits peculiar problems, the proposal for the abolishâ€" â€"ment of the special department for the North ~would have considerable justification. With a â€"man like W. G. Nixon as Minister for the North, _the present practice should have special advantâ€" ‘ages. The North has circumstances and condiâ€" tions that do not apply to other parts of the proâ€" â€"~vince. There are problems here that have no _~counterpart in the sections in the South. It was é:u)ecause of this that Northern affairs were placed the one head. It would be to the advantage g-;or the North for the government to retain control _7;by one department over the affairs of the North, â€"~provided the head of the department knew all ‘about the North and its people. Mr. Nixon has ~this knowledge, and in addition he has the typical aiortherners pride and belief in the North and its -_-pmgress If there is to be a new Minister of ~Lands and Forests and Northern Development, .Premier Hepburn would do well to add a second â€"Nixon to his cabinet. The Toronto stories, however, are so determined that his retirement is certain, that his probable successor has been named. . "The choice," says The Sudbury Star despatch, ‘"lies between Chas. W. Cox, M.L.A., Port Arthur, and W. G. Nixon, M.L. A., New Liskeard." If the choice is decided on the matter of outstanding ability and wide knowledge of the North, then the member for Temiskaming would be the logical man for the position. Mr. Nixon has spent long years in the North and has had wide and varied experiences in this country. He is an enthusiast for the North, with ispecial knowledge of the country, its resources and its possibilities. For years he. was district repreâ€" sentative for the Ontario Dept. of Agriculture for A story from Toronto published in The Sudbury the good accon Star suggests that Hon.

Mr. Hepâ€" burn not only with the actual need for proper 'roadways but also with the desire to give the ‘North a fair deal. Premier Hepburn has a plan ! for securing the necessary finances for the needed i work. The work will mean employment as well as lproviding safety in travel for the general public. Hon. Mr. Hepburn is to visit Ottawa this week to icomplete arrangements whereby proper roads will !bc provided for this part of the North. There is Ihope that Hon. Mr. Hepburn will be able to enlist Zthe coâ€"operation of the Dominion government in \the matter. The addresses recently delivered by [Hon.‘ T. A. Crerar, Minister of Mines for the !Dominion, might well be used to prove the justice iof the case suggested by Hon. Mr. Hepburn. Hon. I Mr. Crerar has proven to the satisfaction of all thinking people that the mining industry is at the ipresént moment the most valuable industry in \Canada, and deserving of the heartiest support %and assistance. Hon. Mr. Crerar has himself emâ€" phasized the desirability of removing handicaps | from the mining industry, not so much in the inâ€" }terests of the industry or the North, but rather | for the value of the industry to the country in genâ€" |eral. Two of the greatest handicaps to mining may be summed up in the words, "taxes too high, roads too low." for the district. Literally for years the board South. has cartied.on an energetxc campaign forl Col. Mas Lang, chairman of the T. proper roads. Recently the president of the board’ and N.

Of course, others are entitled to, thanks for their effortsâ€"Dr. Day, for example;| C. V. Gallagher also for his patient and perseverâ€" ing work. There are also a number of local citiâ€"| zens of public spirit who have used their influence with the government for the benefit of this section | of the North. But this does not alter the fact that’ the board of trade has given a valuable contribuâ€" tion in the task of making the facts of the case; known and seeking for the interest and effort of; the government for the betterment of the roads ofi the North. | One case at the present time is worthy of special| notice by the friends and the critics alike of the board of trade. This is the matter of better roads| On the other hand, if the present efforts fail in whole or in partâ€"if for any reason Hon. Mr. Hepâ€" burn is not able to implement the promises he made the delegation, one thing at least is sureâ€" that the Timmins board of trade may be depended upon to keep hammering away at the authorities and using every lawful means to secure a fair deal for the people of the North in the matter of roads. There are people who do not appreciate the value of the board of trade to Timmins, but these people are chiefly those who have not studied all the various ways in which the board of trade has attempted to work for the advantage of the town and its people. If the board of trade were able to accomplish every good deed attempted for the benefit of Timmins the record would be so imâ€" pressive that none would be likely to miss it. But like other forces for good, the board of trade often fails in its purposes, and these failures are too often emphasized while too little notice is given to the good accomplished. It would be much fairer to give credit for the efforts made. Certainly the Timmins board of trade has never ceased attemptâ€" ing to accomplish things for the town and district, and one undoubted virtue for which it deserves full credit is that of persistence, no matter what the discouragement or the handicap.

Cl G e n o s e L e e o Some were amused and some were irritated at the number of times the radio announcer at Moose River last week mentioned the name of Hon. Michael Dwyer, always coupling with the name the fact that Hon. Mr. Dwyer is Minister of Mines for Nova Scotia. In one broadcast the announcer said:â€""Hon. Michael Dwyer, Minister of Mines for Nova Scotia," at least five times. "T‘ll always remember the Minister of Mines for Nova Scotia, I‘ve heard about him so often over the radio the V ALUE OF THE BOARD OF TRADE last few days," said one local radio fan last week. | "What is the name then of the Nova Scotia Minâ€" iister of Mines?" the gentleman was asked.

After a year on the Atlantic coast he was sent back to Cospalt, this time to take charge of that office following Mr. Morrey‘s transfer to Winnipeg. Col. Mas Lang, chairman of the T. and N.

There has been some criticism of the newspapers for creating anxiety and fear in the minds of the people through false and misleading stories in regard to the Moose River rescue work. It would be difficult to deny the charge in regard to some newspapers. On the other hand newspapers often bring comfort and cheer to people in trouble. For instance, with so many youngsters ill with prevalent children‘s diseases recently, newspapers came along to solace the suffering kiddies with the information that all the children in the Royal Family in the Old Country had suffered attacks of the measles and fears were entertained that they had also contracted the mumps. For five years a certain Sudbury man has been on relief. For five years that Sudbury man has called regularly at the relief office to secure his cheque for relief.

Here is an opportunity to sugâ€" gest that the students showed good judgment. Until radio is made available to radio owners, it seems fair and reasonable to throw cold water on the collection of radio license fees. What the North needs in the line of radio is a government radio relay station to make radio available in the North.
