North There are promises of some road worltx in the near future, after two years of neglect It may be too much to say that Hon. Mr. Rowe has fomed. the promised measure of fair play. But it is ‘not too much to state that his able and pexs.}stent, Wbi‘k in the South in the past few months has. made:, 1t easier for the government to do something for the: North. Hon. Mr. Rowe has convinced | scores ofl audiences .of the need for attention to the Nort.h and the profit that will come to the. Sant,h through money wisely spent to aid the development of this country. °_ ut o0# Wel!ll, time has told! Hon. Mr. Rowe .has done much in the matterâ€"more than most pe()ple reaâ€" lize. Ever since his visit here he has been talking about the need of roads in the Northâ€"â€"â€"talking in all parts of the province and to all clakses of.peoâ€" ple. From information coming to : The® Advance Hon. Mr. Rowe has made a regular issue of the road question so far as the North is concerned. His preâ€" sentation of the case to the farmers of the South has been especially effective. He has shown them that it is to their interests just as much as to the interests of the North to see that the North is givâ€" en fair play. He has emphasized the fact that monâ€" ey is being created in the North, emplo'yment 18 being made here, business is growing from the inâ€" dustries in the North, and that the people of the southâ€"the farmers, as well as the manufacturers and business men, are all reaping advantage. No doubt the addresses given by Mr. Rowe have had some effect in spurring the present gove;nment Lo promise some action. There has been great:press- ure placed on the government to force aA square deal for the North. The good work of Hon. ‘Mr. Roweé has been a valuable part of this ‘pressure. At ‘the same time â€" Hon. Mr. Rowe has been also helping the government, provided the government has. any Sincerity and foresight in the matter. Tohe able to do anything for the North, the government needs some support from the people. Unfortunate-. ly, the people of the South have been given a wrong impression in regard to the needs of=~the North and the justice of the requests:of the North. Had there been no such false 1mpresSion given the government could not have shown the shameful: neglect evidenced towards the North in‘ récent years. Perhaps the wrong outlook on the.. North. was created deliberately. Anyway, it was thereâ€"a fact that had to be overcome before. the North" could receive justice. Recently, the"government . Last year Hon. Earl Rowe paid two xla tfi‘ mp Uorth Land to study conditions here and‘t jarize himself with the needs of the North. on the second tour of the North he spent mgfiy in Timmins and district, visiting the. mfixes, the. homes of settlers, and generally*geeingat m hand the situation in this part of the country. During his stay in the Porcupine camp he made a number of public addresses, and thougll‘)ane w ap-‘.j parently as careful in regard to hla'prqni!seswas’fr he expected shortly to be in power a”‘?fi'é"fl?d upon to implement anything he might Say, there was one point upon which he was quite open and decided in his promise, and that was that he would do all in his power to assure fair play for the North in the matter of roads. "The North needs better roads and more of themâ€"is entitled to betâ€" ter roadsâ€"from every viewpoint," he said, and to this he added the promise that he would}do his best to secure better roads for the North, At the banquet given in his honour at the Empire hotel Timmins, Hon. Mr. Rowe made a statement along | the line indicated. After the bangquet a group ofl men were discussing the address by Hon; Mr. Rowe. All were agreed that it was an inspiring addressâ€"-â€"- an address that showed earnestness, knowiedge, interest and good citizenship. But one man in reâ€" peating Hon. Mr. Rowe‘s reference to roads asked the question:â€""What can Mr. Rowe. do?!"*Ancother | answered with the words, ‘"Time will}â€"tell" Timmins, Ont., Thursday, Feb. 25th, 1937 SPANKING OVER THE â€"RADIO ere is storm in London, Ontario, because|..

If the story ; is true, it appears odd that in an area where there ds a hospital on every second or third corner and .a surgeon‘s office every block or two it should be necessary to use methods and means as crude as this. There was full excuse, however, for the Timâ€" mins doctor who used an ordinary saw to amputate a~â€"man‘s leg. It, was the only suitable, or nearly ‘suitable instrument available within twenty miles. The injured man was in a lumber camp, the conâ€" dition of the leg was such that amputation was imperative if the man‘s life was to be spared. So the doctor used the ordinary hand saw and a little ‘special care and ingenuity. And the man lived to vote more than once (in different elections) for the gallant doctor. , Miss Agnes Macphail, M.P., is again opposing the idea of school cadets. She thinks that school cadetsâ€"are militaristic and tend to create wars. It seems an unrecessarily mean thing to blame the wars on the youngsters at school, when most people suspect that members of parliament who talk too much cause more wars than anybody else. Recent announcements to the effect that the |government plans this year to spend a considerâ€" able sum on roadwork in the North should stir municipal councils, boards of trade and all others in the T. N. O. area to renewed efforts to see that ‘this section of the North is given something like a fTair deal. It is not enough to know that millions ‘@re: to be spent on roads in the North this year. Thereâ€"should be definite information as to where and how the money is to be spent. It should not be forgotten that nine million dollars was spent on roads in the riding of Hon. Mr. Heenan by the present government, but that nine million dollars was not of much advantage to the North in generâ€" al, or to the Province of Ontario as a whole. For the past two years the North has been shamefully neglected. This neglect has meant that the expenâ€" ‘ditures on roads in previous years has been preâ€" ‘judiced. It will take millions to recover the loss through the recent neglect. Previous governments voted five million and ten million dollars a year yfor roads in the North. Despite all that may be said about it, the money was profitably expended. Onâ€" tario as a whole had its money returned many fold â€"in new business, in increased employment, in wealth created. To protect the money invested in the past, and to assure the best returns for the future, the government will have to plan in milâ€" lions. The whole Ferguson highway needs attenâ€" tion. There are settlers‘ roads to build and mainâ€" Tain. There are new roads to build for mining areas. It is a big problem, and should be approachâ€" ‘éd:in‘"a big way. The various organizations in the North should makeâ€"it their business now to make it plain to the government that the needs of the North should be‘given the fullest attention at this: time. | Pacifists and others of the same ilk should careâ€" fully ponder the graphic phrase used by Hon. Ernest Lapointe in the debate on the defence bill in the House of Commons. "It takes two to make peace!" he said. The chairman of the London school board has promised a thorough investigation of the incident of the spanking over the radio, and so the matter may be left for the present. As a matter of fact the ‘best plan with questions of this kind as a general rule is to leave them to the school board and the school staff. As a rule parents may safely leave the care of their children to the staff of a school. As for punishment of the children, that also may safeâ€" ly be left to the average teacher. Seldom, indeed, is the punishment too severe. Usually, it leans to the lenient. An honest application of the strap lfif school has saved many a child from much worse evils. But when the teachers themselves start the Broad¢ast business in their spankings, they need not be surprisetd if they rouse a lot of static and interference. ~_*Of: course, the whole thing may prove another C:â€"P.yarnâ€"like the alleged vigilantes on the Outâ€" skirts of Timmins. There were no vigilantes here. There may have been no spanking broadcast at London. The whole story may have grown out of some hysterical novice of the newspaper game hearing a radio playing as he passed the school. pings suggests that somebody besides the youngâ€" ramni i m l 0 ult it tns1 2 0ts ces â€" Bs wAAA ts un GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"-AND PLACER s o i e t P e P Ends sters needs a spanking. A man charged in a Sudbury court with failing to have 1937 markers on his car explained that he felt he should be given preferential treatment in the. matter, because of his professed friendship with Hon. Mr. McQuesten, Minister of Highways for Ontario. "I am a personal friend of Mr. .Mc- Questen," the man is quoted as saying, "and last year he gave me permission to drive up to Sudbury with my old plates." The accused was fined $10 and costs, despite his professions of friendship for the Minister of Highways. The magistrate no doubt felt that even friends of the Minister of Highways should obscrve the law. As a matter of fact such friends have double reason for respect for the law. It would be well, however, if the incident were thoroughly investigated. There may be no more to it than there was to the alleged vigilantes at Timâ€" mins. But if there is one law for the rich and anâ€" other law for the poor and another law for friends recklessness but later the truth came out that the : of Mr. McQuesten the public should know it before low flying was due to mechanical trouble. The youngster has had more than one chance in Timmins juvenile court. He pleaded guilty only a few weeks ago to having stolen a watch from a room in the Green Apple Pie and a camera crom a room in the Reed block. He gained entry to the last two places through selling daily newspapers, but ir his most recent theft he broke into the house when ‘he krew the residents were out.

Mr. Lemieux expressed the feeling he was entitled to something further. The acditional offer of $500 to any designâ€" ated charity was then made, and acâ€" cepted.

In a counter claim Mr. Silverâ€" man also made charges. ‘Mr. Lemieux last month made a motion before the Master in Chambers at Toronto and was successful in having the statement of defence and counterâ€"claim amended. The settlement also covers the costs of this motion. Settlement out of court has been made of the $10,000 damage action brought by J. F,. F. Lemieux, Sudbury bavrister, against Saul Silverman of A. Silverman Sons, commenced last November in the Sudbury Supreme Court. Slander was charged. Terms of settlement, offered by Mr. Silverman ‘through George M.

It is estimated the costs will total approximately $500. Hospital Benefits from Settlement of Slander Case To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins. Many people were puzled to know what caused the yellow snow a few days ago. ‘Here is a question an oldâ€"timer would like to know. What are those little tiny black specks with life in ‘hem that can be seen on top of the snow when the sun is shining an‘d a thaw takes place? Where do these lifely little specks come from and what are they? They don‘t come out of the ground because it is frozen stiff. They are never seen when it is cold you will see they are alive by just putting your hand near them and that they dart down into the snow. Sometimes they gather in bunches of tens of thousands like bees swarm. One township must have more of them than there are peoâ€" ple in the world.. When looked at through a magnifying glass they look like small beetles and are about the only known insect that can be, seen in these parts during winter months. Frospecters and hunters call them snow bugs. But what are they really and what becomes of them when snow has gone? Are they blackflies or what? Are the Specks on the Snow Blackflies or Whatnot?

With the Hollinger mine within the limits of the town, that industry alone employing over 2900 men at high wages, with the other mines so close to the, town, and with all the varied industries here already, it might appear odd to be asking for more industries. In the mining industry Timmins has source of wealith and a means of employment that would be the envy of most Southern centres. With all the new mines, springing up around the town, Lhe future seems especially bright. "Toronto Man Improving After Assault," says a heading in a Montreal paper..
