In the new business for this year, the dangerous and poor condition of the Iroquois Falls to Herman Lake road was given full discussion. The meimâ€" bers proved that this road was the most used traffic lane in this territory, and during the past year, and up until l Directors: Mr. G. J. Morrisette, Mr. F. E. Wood, Mr. R. Sawyer, and Mr. P. J. Redmond. It was very interesting to note that since the club was Oorganized, and the whole of its duratiaon, Mr. Thistleâ€" thwaite has been electrd to the office of president, this being his twelvth term in office. His sincerity and steadâ€" fast achievements have won him many favourable comments, and through liis efforts, he has greatly aided in the success of this branch of the Molor League. In discussing the current business, it was noted that the club had, during 1937 some 52 members, and although the mill operation has been curtailed, the membership for 1938, has already reached the total of 40, with possibiliâ€" ties of more still to join up. An cutstanding question, brought up at the 1937 meeting by Mr. H. G. Laidâ€" law, of Timmins, pertaining to the question of amalgamating the many varicus branches of Motor Clubs into one district club, with officers at cach centre, and one location designated as the headquarters, was given thorough consideration by the members present. While it was felt that the joint memâ€" b:rship, which would act as a greater number behind the unit, might enable . the club to probably secure more conâ€" sideration on their problems, yet it was felt that such a venture would tend to break up the already successful strides | made, and it was therefore moved to table this disclussion indefinitely. The financial circumstances of the club were read, and having being -julyl audited, were termed as satisfactory. An outstanding balance for 1937, will be carried over to the year 1938. l Iroquois Falls, Ont., June 3rd, 1938â€"â€" (Special to Th Advance)â€"The annual meeting of the Iroquois Falls and Disâ€" trict Motor Club was held here, on Thursday evening, in the Rod and Gun Club Hut, or the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year, and to transact any unfinished business of the past 12 months.

"Their | influence is entirely different to that of the dailies and I still get copies of the weekly paper of my home town |that I left 30 years ago," he told the gathering. "When I started in the printing business as a printer‘s devil my biggest job was sawling up the wood subscribers paid in exchange for ltheir paper.

"The biggest problem in the at the present time is unemployment and I would like you newspapermen to look sensibly on the mining indusâ€" ‘u'y and potential resources of Canada |as a whole," Mr. Dye concluded. ‘ l Gus Dobbie of Smith Falls, newlyâ€". elected president of the Ontarioâ€"Queâ€" ’b:c branch of the C offered | CCC the sincere thanks of the visitors to the town of Timmins, the Board of Trade, the mines executive and My and Mrs. George Lake, for the hosâ€" pitality that had been extended them. Mr. Lake he referred to as the "Eskimo of the North" and just as he conc‘udâ€" ed his remarks the local publisher presented the Smith Falls president with a miniature Eskimo that gave the gathering a big laugh. "Go back, study and write about the North," was the advice of G. A. Maecâ€" donald, editor of The Advance. "Norâ€" thern Ontario has a great deal to keep Canada on an even keel and every dollar that is mined here is a new dollar to go into circulation," he told the mceting. Referring to the power of the weekly press, he took as an instance the case of the cancer clinic operated by Miss Caisse at Bracobridge. "She got a fair deal through the efforts of the Bracebridge and Huntsville papers, and the other newsparpers that joined them, and you publishers here can do the same thing regarding unemployment conditions in the North. There are at least 1200 men registered here as unemployed aad every man who comes here and is sucâ€" cessful in getting a job is only taking away another chance of employment for a man already her»." Mr. Macâ€" (Continued from Page One) W. O. Langdon, president of the Board of Trade, who was the chairman of the evening, welcomed the de‘eâ€" gates to the Porcupine and Timmins, which he characterized as the hbest town in the world. He partiqulerly asked the publishers to realize that there are 2000 men out of work here, and hoped that they would go back and tell their readers the facts rathner than have men coming here in a hopeâ€" less search for employment. road into a fit condition.
