Savard was able to sit up in a hosâ€" pital easy chair while the evidence was taken. He had a large bandage around his head. He answered the questions clearly. R. St. Denis, orderâ€" ly at the hospital, was pressed into service as an interpreter for Lapratt. Bourgeois, giving evidence at the police court, told a story somewhat similar to Savard‘s except that he said SBavard had grabbed Lapratt in the truck and shaken him when they ran out of gas; and also that he (Bourâ€" geols) had been in the cab of the truck when,the alleged assault took place. ‘"SBavard let out a yell.

Whenâ€" ever it was released it turned its head homewards, refusing to mate with the other birds. After four days Burroughs decided to watch it and give it "fair play." He allowed it to leave the farm. At once it crossed the garden in the right direction until it reached the main road.

There is an opportunity offered now along this line. The offer is made by the Timmins Horticultural Society which organization has done so much _to add to the good appearance of the town by its support and leadership in horticulture. The Horticultural Soâ€" ciety has made arrangements with a large nursery firm for a quantity of shade trees and the size of the order makes it possible to offer the trees at the low price of $1 each planted. The planting will be done in the spring and the trees will be guaranteed for a year. All who wish to take advantage of this chance to beautify home surâ€" roundings and the appearance of the town in general should see the secreâ€" tary of the Society, George Hogg, at once, and arrange for trees for the home. Many visitors to Timmins in the past have commented on the numâ€" ber of beautiful homes here and the number of lawns and flowers, but nearâ€" ly all of them have added that the town needed more trees to take off the "bare" look that is inseperable from the community that has not plenty of shade trees. The Horticultural Soâ€" ciety is recommending the use of Carâ€" olina poplars but those who prefer other shade trees can arrange to have their choice. In recent issues of The Advance a coupon has been printed for the convenience of those wishing shade trees.. This coupon should be sent in to the Horticultural Secretary at once. i se ucsw an en ces ues e TI‘ry The Advance Want Advertisements Shade Trees will Help a Lot. Chance to Secure Good Trees.

Gordon, then Minister of Iminiâ€" gration and Colonization, Captain Maglad*ry made a thorough survey of the: work of the Soldier Settlement Board throughout Canada, and upon the dissolution of that board was «pâ€" pointed Director of Soldier Settlement, and reorganized that department. In 1934 he was appointed Deputy Minisâ€" ter of Immigration and Colonization. Is Loss to City ‘"Fellow officials and colleagues with whom Captain Magladery has been asâ€" sociated here for some years expressed keen regret at receiving word of h‘s decision to leave the Government. Many who knew him intimately feel that his departure from the city will be a distinct loss not only to the Deâ€" partment of Immigration and Colonâ€" ization but to the social life of the Capital as well." "He enlisted for overseas service with the 15th Battalion as a private, and attained the rank of captain. From 1914 to 1924 he represented Temiskaâ€" ming in the Ontario Legislature. His political affiliation was Conservative. An Active Career "Captain Magladery‘s career has been one in which business, public life and military service has each played a part. Born at Parkhill, Ont.. he for many years conducted a_ successful business in the northermn part of the province, and was later emgaged in orâ€" ganization work for the Masseyâ€"Harris Company in Alberta and Ontario. "Captain Magladery expressed keen appreciation of the loyalty and support which have been given him by the staffs of the Department of Immigraâ€" tion and Colonization and the Soldier Settlement, which had always been wholeâ€"hearted and efficient, and tended his congratulations to F. C. Blair, Assistant Deputy,Minisber of the Department, whose appointment â€" to the position of director has just been announced. "It is understood that Captain Maâ€" gladery tendered his resignation some time ago, but continued in office pendâ€" ing the reorganization of Government services embracing his departmerntt. Is Going North "He told The Journal he intends to return to Northern Ontario, where he was in business for many years. He exâ€" pressed regret at leaving Ottawa, where he had found many friends, but said he would be glad to be again directly associated with the North Country, in which so much of his life had been spent. In Saturday‘s Ottawa Journal, the following reference is made to Capt. Magladery‘s new plans:â€" Popular Official of Government Enters Business "With the reorganization of his deâ€" partment, due to its absorption in the new Department of Mines and Naturâ€" al Resources, one of the bestâ€"known and most popular officers of the Govâ€" ernment service at Ottawa, Captain Thomas Magladery, Deputy Minister of Immigration and Colonization, reâ€" tires to private life after a lengthy period of service to Canada, in several fields. Capt. Thos. Magladery, for many years in the earlier days of the North one of the pionser business men of Temiskaming District, and member fot that riding in the provincial house for a couple of sessions, more recently in Ottawa as Deputy Minister of Immiâ€" gration, is returning to the North. Capt. Magladery looked after the inâ€" terests of North Temiskaming in the provincial house, as well as his own riding, during part of the war when Mac Lang, M.P.P. for this riding, was overseas, Capt. Magladery Returns to North Deputy Minister of Immiâ€" gration for Some Years Coming Back to the North. One Sunday afternouu we drove along the Reef road that threads the gold mine towns together. It is an unâ€" forgettable sight. Most of the 290,000 natives employed in the mines were having a holiday. They thronged the road, We visited a compound where 7000 of them were housedâ€"and well housed too. Food and shelter are part of their wages, the quality of both rigâ€" idly prescribed by law. For a year‘s work the native averages $156, plus board, lodging and clothes. There are 27,000 skilled white laborâ€" ers; all told, there are only 2,000,000 whites in the country. Yet so high is the Afrikander‘s standard of livingâ€" each must have a car, an electric reâ€" The mines are strung for 120 miles along the famous Witwatersrand, or White Waters Ridgeâ€"just the Rand, for short. Johannesburg is in the midâ€" dle and the rest of the ridge is virâ€" tually one continuous town, with many new mines being developed. Experts différ widely in opinion of how long the mines will last, but every new estimate gives them longer life. For one thing. at $35 an ounce, they can afford to work lowerâ€"grade ores. For another, _ American airâ€"conditioning machinery is being installed in some of the holes, which should make it posâ€" sible to work much depper. At present the limit of depth is set by human enâ€" durance. Temperatures rise at the rate of about one degree for every 212 feet of dspth, and the Turf shaft of the Robinson deep, for example, reached 8500 feet last December. Humidity and heat are so great that workers run body temperatures of 105 degrees. At the centre and the peak of the boom lies Johannesburg, now 50 years old and a bustling, modern city of 400,â€" 000 population, half of which is Euroâ€" pean. Some say that 50,000 people have moved in since 1933. Building contracâ€" tors are far behind orders. Construcâ€" tion last year, I am told, amounted to $30,000,000, which is $75 worth of new building per capita. I mean this literally, of course. In Decemiber, 1932, the Union of South Africa went off the gold standard, and on that day the selling price of gold, the country‘s prircipal product, jumped 70 per cent. Economic theorists tell us that mining costs eventually will overâ€" take the markâ€"up in selling price. My own guess is that this will, indeed, hapâ€" penâ€"in maybe 100 years. Meanwhile, profits of the 31 gold mines have inâ€" creased 40 per cent. Because of the world depression the diamondâ€"mining industry is virtually in a state oi suspension. Agricultur® in the Union is no great success and is heavily subsidized. Gold is the sole basis of prosperity. South Africa is the most prosperous country in the world toâ€"day, and it looks as if it would continue to be for years to come. It is in the midst of a Golden Age. Obviously I wasn‘t in the United States of America. about taxes; they‘re no burden. Nobody was worried about unemploym®ent, for there isn‘t any. A Golden Age for South Africa I recently spent six wreks calling on business men and not one of thera comâ€" plained about business; business is fine. Not one of them talked politics; there‘s a political truce. Not one of them was alarmed over the governm®°nt‘s unbalâ€" anced budget, for the unbalanced item is a surplus. Not a bitter word was said "Toâ€"day," Franklin Johnston saysâ€". in part:â€" On account of the golden jubilee celebration being held in Johannesburg this year there is special intsrest in that country. Apart from the event, however, there is much other reason for people in general to give more than a passing thought to South Africa. In Canada it would be well to think of South Africa, and then lead the mind to the "Rands" in Canada.
