An editarial in Friday‘s issue of The Kirkland Lake North‘rn News is raâ€" ther critical of the local member for this riding, contrasting his work with that of the member for Temiskaming. The first answer that will come to the averag> mind will lik<ly be:â€"*"Well, aryway, Mr. Rowlandson didn‘t leave the impression with the people of the Ecuth that the people of the North are contented over the usage given them in the matter of roads and other matters." It must be admitted a recont speech by Mr. Nixon. member for Temiskamâ€" ing, was twisted by Southern newsâ€" papers to seem to suggest that the peoâ€" ple ocf the North were not very angry at the South over the treatment receivâ€" ed in the past two years. On the other hand Mr. Rowlandson has fought openâ€" ly and earnestly for better roads and more general recognition of the needs of the North. Secession and Buycolt "W. G., Nixon, member in the provinâ€" cial house for Temiskaming, is heralded by southern Ontario newspapers as A member for the north who denies any move ficr secession or for boycott of southern business for its failure to help the rorth in its campaign for better services and highway maintenance or construction. "As a matter of fact, Mr. Nixon, wao is, it musi be admitted, a far more Critical of Member of the Legislature in This Riding Here is the editorial from The Norâ€" thern News last Friday:â€" Mrs. Shephard Florist 29 Fourth Ave., opp. Fire Hall Phone 678 FLORAL TRIBUTES To Pembroke, Renfrew, Arnprior, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec via North Bay and Canadian Pacific Bargzain cxcursion tickets will be valid on trains 2 or 46 and their connections Thursday, November 26th.

N. 0. and N.C.R. Regular Stations Thursday, November 26th aggressive member for Temiskaming than is Mr. J¢chn Rowlandson, of Cochâ€" rane South, for his, said that all semâ€" cusâ€"thinking pecple of Northern Onâ€" tario are wholeâ€"heariedly behind z. un‘ted Ontario. "And how can we in Kirkland Lake feel that we have an adequate repreâ€" sentative in a gentleman. who, whatâ€" ever his legislative abilities may be. has never, at least in two years, made a pujlic appearance in Kirkland Lake, and who is rumoured to have said that this part of the riding was not worth bothering about, because there would be a new division before the next election? "Mr. Nixor is rightâ€"butâ€"if parts of Ontario have neglected or are neglectâ€" ng other partsâ€"how can we have a "United Ontario?" "A gentleman who, when the Queen‘s Park delegation visited this part of the riding this summer, was able to inspeci the Iroquois Falls paper mills on the way back from Timmins, but was called back by urgent business before hss was able to reach Kirkland Lake. "As far as Mr. Nixon is concerned, we congratulate him for enterprise and energy in securing for his part of the province what little work was done on the FPerguson highway this year. We also congratulate him on organizing the tour of the north by the provincial members this summerâ€"andâ€"we hope that the Board of Trade which was reâ€" vived or reborn or something last night will take up the cudgels of this part of the T. and N. O. ccuntry which has been so sadly neg‘ected by the gentleâ€" man who was elected to represent it." Asks for Needed Change in Exasgerating Radio Service "During the past week, officials of the Federal Government have been in the North Country checking up on those who haveâ€"cr have notâ€"paid the two dollars demandsd :y the Governâ€" ment for the inadequate service reâ€" ceived. T‘rue, a short wave broadcaster has beer cpened by the Canadian Raâ€" dio Corporation, which gives usâ€"at least those who are fortunate enough to own short wave machinesâ€"a more or less hit and miss service, and, of course, the same three or four little local outâ€" fits make their daily attempts to put over their messages. So far as the latâ€" ter are cconcerned, they are still next to ustless for those outside their imâ€" mediate nsighbourhood and are rarely heard by the general public, and we do not say this to belittle their special service to their own community. "On Wednesday citizens endeavoured to listen in on CFRB, as "Jim Hunter. talking reporter and radio broadcaster of the Telegram, Toronto‘s most popuâ€" lar newspaper,‘ gave the latest morning news on Rem<mbrance Day. CFRB is nct on a short wave, and, as a result, many of us, and we were amongst the number, had to give up in disgust. The following is an editorial article from last Thursday‘s New Liskeard Speaker:â€" "When the new Commission is makâ€" ing its plans for future broadcasting, may we suggest that Mr. Bradette, MP., as the only Northern representaâ€" tive who sesems to have paid any atâ€" tention to the question, kindly take steps to have Northern Ontario‘s inâ€" terests locked after. He would confer a great favour on thousands of radio owners in the North and would put over something no person else s*ems to be able to. Thanks, Mr. Bradette." Tony Boyda, 35, died in St. Mary‘s hospital ten years ago this week from the effects of a blood clot in his brain. He had been badly beaten up, it was indicated. On Monday, wh:n Boyda did not show up for work at the Holâ€" linger, his shift boss, knowing him to be steady worker, made inquiries,. The man was found unconscious in a shack near Moneta and might haye lain there until he disd. Police held three men alleged to have been involved in a fight with Boyda over two Roumanian women who had been living in the shack and who had since disappeared. Liberal party in the provincial election in South Cochrane of that year. Dr. J. A. McInnis was practically offered the nomination at the Liberal convenâ€" tion but he refused to allow his name to go before the â€"meeting, since he said he had always favoured Government Control of liquor and would not stand against the nomimnee of the Conservaâ€" tive party whos=: party hadpledged itâ€" self to abolish the O.T.A. and subâ€" stitute for it a system sim‘lar to that which now exists. John Rowlandson was a candidate for nomination at the same Liberal meeting, but was defeated 75â€"57. Timmins had a and School association ten years ago, of which Mrs. Emery was president. At a meeting hold in November of 1926, an interestâ€" ing programme was providsd by groups of pupils from the public schools and the parents spent some time afterwards in discussion of school activities. Two of the best numbers given during the evening were violin solos y Archie Canapini and â€"Frank Serreri, The Adâ€" vance r:ported. Nine barbers had entered the beardâ€" trimming contest in connection with the annual charity Turkey Stag, it was reported. About thirty of the m:n of Timmins were busy seeing who could grow the biggest beard in a given time. Then the barbers wire to see which of them could trim the neatest vandyke in the shortest time. In view of the great wealth uncoverâ€" ed just a few years before at Rouyn in the form of copperâ€"gold ore, the news that a similar formation had besn disâ€" covered near Timmins ten years ago started a rush from here to Kamiskotia of no small proporticns. Cobalt, Matheson, and South Porcupine contriâ€" buted their share of men to the rush, tco. Hollinger had been among the first to stake in Jamieson and Robb townships. That was in 1926. The copper is still there, ut has not betn worked to any great extent. Now gold is once more to be the preduct of a company being organized to work claims in the arca. The first conrcert in aid of the St. John Ambulance Brigade in Timmins was given just ten years ago this week on Sunday evening at the Goldfields theatre. George Dshney, district superâ€" intendent, explained the aims of the brigade to those who atterded. Xumâ€" bers on programms, in addition to those given by the band included: solos by R. Smith, T. Jones and Mrs. Roborts; cornet solo by W. Williams; piano solos by Mr. Bunt and Mrs. Wilkins; instruâ€" mental quartette by Misses Porter and Pirtassalo and Messrs Holland and Neilson; and a recitation "The Cremaâ€" tion of Sam McGee" by W. Lainsbury. "If You Want a Change in the O.T.A. You Must Vote for Fred Kenning." So ran a headline in The Advance ten years ago over the story of a mecting at the New Empire theatre at which Mr. Kenning, Dr. A. S. Porter, Hon. Chas. McCrea, Hon. Mr, Finlayson, Geo. T. Smith, of, Haileybury, Louis Cousinneau, mayor of Hull, and others were speaksrs The O.T.A. had been forced on the people of the province by a bare majority, they claimed and had steadily fallen in favour. Mr. Mcâ€" Crea promissd stasilization of the minâ€" ing industry, better roads, a larger share of imine royalties for Timmins but would not promise that Hydro would seil power to Timmins pzople for, he said, Hydro was owned by the psople and municipalities had to group themâ€" selves tcgether, guarantee bonds for financing expenditures, anything could be done. Mr. Finlayson pointed to the decreasing loss by f‘re in the forests of Ontario, claiming that the improvemnts in the department of lands and forests in fire fighting sysâ€" tems was responsible for the decrease in loss. At that eighty per cent. of the forest ussd up in a year was lost in fire while only 20 per cent. was converted into lumber, he said. It was men‘s night ten years ago at the A.S.D. club when the male members had to look after the whols eveni ‘ng‘s programme. Miss Roberta Gray and H. Barr were winners of the lucky number dance. ‘ Mrs. O. Ringstad received word ten years ago of the death of her brother, George Johnson, in Windsor, Ont. The V.O.N. had received $1,346.05 from societies and private individuals in the district ten years ago, it was reported. They needed still more funds in order to carry on the work properly. Skipper of the Revillion Freres‘ schooner in Hudson and James bays years ago, Captain J. Nicolson, was very much for the extension of the T. N. Fort Churchill. He claimsd the naviâ€" gation season could not be much longer than from August 15th to October 1st and staked his long experience in norâ€" thern waters on that. He did not advise the T. N. O. route as one sending out James McGuire, formerly a labour ganization man in Cobalt, was noâ€" inated ten years ago to lead the ! The ladies of the Caledonian society over the meeting ten years ago this week. They provided a fine proâ€" gramme, The Advance reported. Inspector Wilcox, RCM.P., was a visitor in Timmins ten years ago who cams from the real North "where it never gets any colder than 60 below zero." That was in Ellesmere Land, Devon Island, and Baffin Land, where the inspector had besn station for three years in the five most northerly R.C. M.P. posts. His daughters +lived in Timmins with Chief of Police E. Pasâ€" se and Mrs. He told The Adâ€" vance many interesting things about the North. There were three Mountles stationed at each post along with EskIâ€" mo familiss. | for â€"developing the mineral and agriâ€" cultural possibilities of that part of the North. In November ten years ago, Timmins bowlers visited Iroquois Falls and were defeated 461 p‘ns. The Falls men came over here the next we‘k and took back with th2m a 880â€"pin whitewashing. John Knox was president of the Timâ€" mins Curling Club ten years ago and I. A. Solomon was viceâ€"president. The club had selected committees for the season. The Schumacher Choral society gave a special concert ten years ago in honâ€" cur of Morris Flower, who was leaving then for his old home in England. ‘ Along with a coat, vest and other articles stolen from the home of D. Middleton ten years ago this week was a watch and a war medal, it was reâ€" ported in The Advance. . _Anthur Stevens, of Cochrane, who had be:n appointed a few years before as managey of a hotel at Temagami, then a little known place, was the subject of a story in the editorial column of The Advance ten ycars ago. At the tims referred to Mr. Stevens was seeking information about Temagami. He proâ€" rcunced the name improprly, but that made little difference because there szemed to b2 no one who knew it by any name. Eventually, however, Mr. Stevâ€" ens‘ did encounter cne man who claimâ€" ed to know everything th:re was to be krown about Temagami. ‘What is the pcpulation of Temagami?‘ Mr. Stevens asked. ‘Population?‘ replied the man who know. ‘Why the population is just O‘Connor.‘ When Mr. O‘Conror, who now lives at Comnaught was told azout this last week, his reâ€" piy was: ‘That‘s all right, but that man Keep Faith With The People of Canada They are the real owners of the bonds that finance the Governments of the nation â€" federal, provincial and municipal. It is their savings that are invested in the mortâ€" gages that build the homes and develop the farms and industries of the Dominion. Three and a half million of such citizens have banded themselves together as policyholders in the great coâ€"operative business of Life Insurance. Through their hardâ€"earned savings, these policyâ€" holders have built up an insurance estate of over six billion dollars for themselves and their dependants. To protect this estate, they have two billion dollars invested in the best securities that Canada, its governments and municipalities, its farms and industries, have to offer. HRIETY, hardâ€"working, conscientious citiâ€" zens are the backbone of Canada. who knew about Temagami should have added that the population of one spent over one kndred thousand dollars in efforts to develop an industry that would have meant a population of one hundred thounsand and one for the A billion dollars had been «taken out of the North in 20 years, according to report published in The Advance ten years ago of the Toronto Board of Trade club. S. H. Logan, general manâ€" ager of the Canadian Bank of Comâ€" merce had made that statement. Coâ€" balt, Kirkland Lake, Timmins, Iroquoils Falls, Kapuskasing and other towns he cited as proof. The formal opening of the public school in Schumacher was held thore just ten years ago this week by D. G. Kerr, reeve of Tisdale, Among the speakers were C. G. Williams, chairâ€" man of the Timmins board, L. A. Marâ€" lin, inspector of public schools, V. K. Greer, chief inspector of public schools, James Shewan, chairman of the Schuâ€" macher board, and many others. The occasion was celebrated by a dance in the school. A. E.

Bucovetsky, candidates ten years ago for election to the Ontario Older Boys Parliament, presented their election platforms in The Advance of ten years ago.

Kitchener Rebekah Lodge, South Porcupine, won the shield offered ten yzsars ago for the best degree work in a competition between Timmins, South Porcupine and Matheson, The Adâ€" vance‘s correspondent reported. Among the locals in The Advance of ten years ago were: "Mr. Wm. S. Beaâ€" chem, of Winnipeg, was Timmins visitor last week." "Bornâ€"in Timmins, Ont., on Friday, Nov. 12, 1926, at Mrs. Farley‘s hospital, to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lafrenierâ€"a son (Joseph Marâ€" tin Lawrenc@)."

Interâ€" ment was made at the English cemetery Cannes. Mrs. Mclunis was accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Arnoldi, who will Guardian of visit htre for a time." "Each day now patients are being released from quarâ€" antine restored to health, and no n>w cases of smallpox are developing. Th° epidemic is very evidently all over and the fact that there was such a general vaccinaticn of the children and adults makes the possibilities for any further epidemics in Timmins for some years very small indeed." ‘"Mrs. J. D. Parks, president of th> Timmins United Church Missionary Socisty, left this week to attend a convention of the WM.S. at Toronto." "Mr. P. Dougall, manager of the Timmins branch of Naâ€" tional Grocers, left on Tuesday mornâ€" ing for a two months‘ visit to his old home in Scotland. Mrs. Dougall and son have been overs:as for some months, and will accompany Mr,. Douâ€" gall on his return here in January." The Northern Canada Power Co. had agreed to change the power that formerly ran across Timmins en what was known as "Broadway." a wide strip that crossed the town diagonally from the power kuilding on Second‘ avenue mnorthwest, to conform with the streets. Broadway was to be closed. Quarter secticn lots were advocated for settlers, land clearing bonuses were advised, mail service, immigration, T. N. O. extensions, indigents, settlers‘ claims against the Mattagami Pulp and Paper Company and many other matâ€" ters were dealt with at the annual mecting in Cochrane ten years ago of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade. The Advance carried many columns of report cn the important event. G. W. Turk, Iroquois Falls, was electâ€" ed president of the N.O.H.A. at the annual meeting ten years ago. C. O.

Huntsville Forester:â€" Woodbridge council gave their chief constable leave of absence to go hunting, on condition that he furnish each councillor with a venison steak. If the chief fails to get his deer, they‘ll proba‘sly fire him. On behalf of its policyholders, and other instituâ€" tions and organizations whose investments repreâ€" sent the hardâ€"earned savings of thrifty citizens, Life Insurance expects that the terms upon which these bonds were sold, and these mortgages accepted, shall be observed. Every section of the Dominion has its share of these millions of dollars that policyholders have invested in bonds and mortgages. Other millions have been similarly invested by trust, mortgage, loan and banking institutions, whose funds also represent the savings of millions of individual Canadians. Where the borrower is willing but unable to pay, a policy of adjustment should prevail. Such adjustments have been made again and again during recent years.
