The numâ€" ber of people on relief for February 1937 was fixed at 1038, as compared with 1440 in the same month in 1936.

"The government cannot do everyâ€" thing at once. But now that they have definitely decided to give Northern Onâ€" tario the same kird of roads Southern Ontario has enjoyed for many years. they will get the work under way just as quickly as possible." That means, for one thing, that there will be visi:ility on all parts of the read for 6CQ feet ahead. In crder to do this, it was explained to The Adâ€" vance, sharp corners must be eliminâ€" ated and some hills reâ€"graded. At South Porcupine, for instance, present highway plans call for a long curve to avoid ‘the sharp turn onto the main street of that town, going to the nortnâ€" west of the town. The Rea hill will e cut down so as to provide better visiâ€" bility. All this work will be undertaken this year along with the paving of a stretch of road from the Pamour eight miles in the direction of Timmins, or to somewhere near the Rea hill. The aistance from Pamour to Timmins is absut 11 miles. Clearing up the whole highway situaâ€" tion, news yesterday from authoritative scurces indicates that the one idea of ithe Provincial Department of Hignways is to provide the Pow:upine as soon as possible with a road whose ‘specificaâ€" tions will be equal to those of King‘s Highways in Scuthern Ontario. xo i ce mm 8 Porcupine Road to be Straightened, Paved, Brought up to Standards of King‘s Highways in South.

"Sinte December 15th, the Timmins Fire Department has answered 137 calls," said Councillor Wren. "More than eighty of them have been for chimney fires and we consider this much too high a proportion. The soluâ€" tion to a lot of the fire department‘s trsubles seems to be in this municipal chimney cleaning service." New Inspection Service _ Fire department inspection service is being extended immediately to include residencss, Mr. Wren said. Recent apâ€" pointment of Firemen Albert and Jack McKinnon as assistant fire marshals coincides with this idea. Preâ€" viously inspection of business places cnly has been carried on. With the chimney sweeping and inâ€" spection, the number of fire alarms here should darcp off almost immediaiteâ€" ly, Mx. Wren believes, and in this way will save the cost of buying new fire fighting equipment for this year at least. Prevention cof fires on a whoieâ€" sale scale is the basis of the present fire dévartmens programme.

The increase in the number of unemployed can only be laid to the fact that more of those jobâ€"seekâ€" ers who come North every year are reâ€" maining to find work than they have done in former years and it is natural to suppose that with the condition of the roads improving, the numbers . of those coming North will increase. The above figures give complete reply to the silly suggestions recently made in some outside newspapers that there is lots of work for the unemployed in this part of the North. With over 1,000 here already looking for work others sHould hesitate to take a chance on travelling up here to add themselves to the list of unemployed gathering here from all over the earth. / Acscording to the Ontario Government Employment Bureau, the report on placements of unemployed for March that of March last year; proof that the work of the officials here is bearing fruit,..

The general mseting will be held in the town hall cn Friday, April 9th, at 6.15 p.m. All building tradesmen and building supply dealers are to be invited to general mseting by the Porcupine Adâ€" visory Committee of the Home Imâ€"«â€" provement Plan,. it was decidedâ€"at the Committee kneeting last night The purpose of this meeting is to enlist the awctive support ¢f construction industry in Timmins, Schumacher and South Porcupine in making known to the public the benefits to be derived un~â€" cer Home Improvement Plan. The government act makes available to home owners in gocod standing a sunt up to $2000.for the purpose of modernâ€" izing or repairing their property.. The interest rate is unusually low and the loan may be retired in monthly inâ€" stalments over a prriod of three years or less. Up until February 15th of this year. ten Home Improvement loans were made in Timmins totalling $6907.30, azâ€" cording to a recent government bulletin. These loans can be arranged through any ‘bank, contfactor or building supply No traffic lights will be installed this year, it has been decided. The new equipment will leave enough police free during heavy traffic hours to conâ€" duct it from street intersections. In addition a signal light system that will cover the town is to be installed, making it possible to summon all men or any one man on the beat, to head« quarters within a few minutes. These two systems will be the equi~« valent of adding at least two men to the police force, sinte it will mean that fewer will have to be kept at headquarâ€" ters on duty for calls. | In addition to that, two men are to be added to the present force. Timmins police will soon have all the accoutrements of a city force, it was learned this week as the police commnittee struck estimates for the year. A l:ox telephone system will be in« stalled so that men may report from any part of the town while on their beats. Each officer will be provided with keys to the telephone boxes so that he will be able to get in touch with police headquarters at any time. TO MEET HON. D. CROLL 2 Sections 16 Pages
