Larder Lake Wants Liquor Store and License Bureau In Timmins, where this plan was introduced by the local branch late last fall, several houses have already been build. Many more have been ordered, to take advantage of low, taxâ€" free building material prices and the easyâ€"term governmentâ€"sponsored loans while they still can be arranged. In Noranda where land prices are fayqurable fortyâ€"six similar houses have been built by Hillâ€"Clarkâ€"Francis. so sound in construction and well insulated are they that owners report heating costs as low as thirtyâ€"five dollars for the year. The neighbourhood will never be marâ€" red by shacks or other unsightly buildings. This does not mean that only highâ€"priced houses will be built. On the contrary they will be mostly in the two to three thousand dollar class, attractive modern houses that can be built with only $50 down and the balance paid off like rent at $23.64 a month., ment is the measure of control over the type of house that is effected.

The Northern News on Tuesday had the following:â€" It may be assumed that as we have converted the Spitfire and the Hurriâ€" cane into Mark III, and Mark II verâ€" sions respectively, so the Germans have converted the Messerschmitt 109 and the Heinkel singleâ€"seat fighters, and are now able to obtain better performances from them. Beer Room at Kirkland Lake Fired by Cigarette Meanwhile, it must be remembered that the Germans have been able in the past very markedlly to improve the performance of their existing maâ€" chines by minor modifications. When the Messerschmitt 109 first appeared it was regarded as a poor airplane. Toâ€" wards the end of the air fighting period last year, this machine was being met at great heights, was being used to carry a small bomb load, and was proving quite a formidable machine, Germany. It is possible that a few of these have been used already over this country, at night. They will be useful, not only for night bombing, but also for Iong-range' commerce raiding from the air bases in occupied France. Several types of fourâ€"engined bombâ€" ers have been under development in Presumably escort work will be enâ€" trusted to other fighters. Possibly Fokkeâ€"Wulf, about which so much has been heard recently, may be among them. These machines will include a speâ€" cialized shortrange fighter, an imâ€" proved fighterâ€"bomber and longâ€"range commerce raiding aircraft. A new Daimler Benz X type is based on the 12â€"cylinder engine which the Germans have been using for some time. Two of these engines hre mounted on a i common crankcase. ~These engines are | possibly intended for use in Messerâ€" schmitts. With this engine the aircraft, even if the wing surface has been largely increased, is likely to be very fast, but it is difficult to see how it could be capable of great range, or even of as great range as the earlier type. Inâ€" deed, if it be true that the engine is to go in the Messerschmitt, it may be assumeqd that the machine is intended pureély for interception work. | (From the Leeds Yorkshire Post) Information is gradually â€" filtering through about the new types of airâ€" craft which the Germans are preparâ€" ing for use against this country. Some of the more orthodox types will be {ready for operations in the Spring, but ‘others are not likely to be issued to operational squadrons before midsum:« _mer. | Yorkshire Paper Describes _ Newest German Aircraft it North Bay Nuggetâ€"Conscience is a funny thing. It tells you not to do something after you‘ve already done Within our time man has conquerâ€" ed the air, but, so far as international trade is concernedâ€"the carrying of cargoes of heavy raw materials and manufacturesâ€"nothing has happened to invalidate Raleigh‘s testimony to the commercial importance of seaâ€" power. Three hundred years ago, when the British Empire, as we know it, had no existence, Sir Walter Raleigh wrote words which apply even more signifiâ€" cantly today than they did then. "Whosoever commands the sea comâ€" monds the trade; whosoever commands the riches of the world anda consequentâ€" lvy the world itself." Once more the value of sea comâ€" mand to the British peoples is being proved. Though so many merchant ships unâ€" der these flags have been withdrawn from the trade routes, the ocean comâ€" merce of the British Empire is being carried on to an extent which transâ€" cends the most optimistic prophecies. Germany and Italy ranked high as commercial seapowers with no less than 8,000,000 tons of merchant shipâ€" ping. Nearly 400 of their ships, agâ€" lgxegatmg 2,000,000 tons, have been _captured or scuttled and the most of the rest are in hiding. The United States Congress has excluded all American vessels from the "war zones." Japan, with a merchant fleet of 5,600,â€" 000 tons, has had to restrict her shipâ€" ping services owing to her amphibious war in China, where, after over four: years, upwards of one million of her soldiers have to be supphed by sea with food, munitions and all they re-, quire. The same story of progress comes from all the Coloniesa nd Protectorates of the British Empire. India‘s foreign trade, according to the latest figures, is on a higher scale than at any time for the past three years. Her exports increased by nearâ€" ly £30,000,000 in the first year of the war ang are still expanding. New Zealand, though far removed from all the Colonies and Protectorates and with a population of only about a million and a half, mainly engaged in agriculture, is playing no mean part in supporting the Empire‘s trade moveâ€" ment. South Africa also is prospering, her exports having shown a phenomenal) development. Australian exports have also inâ€" creased to a greater extent than have her imports, an indication of economic planning. The commonwealth has never been so busy as it is today. She has in consequence a healthy trade balance. The population has never been so fully employed. During 1940, approximately 3,770 vessels carryâ€" ing a deadweight tonnage of 22,260,000 were convoyed from the American side of Atlantic to British ports in face of the soâ€"called "total blockade." Canada, in spite of all she is doing to assist in the prosecution of the war on land, on sea, and in the air, has displaced Germany as the third most important exporting country in the world. Reports from the Dominions, Colonâ€" ies and Protectorates show that they are profiting from the command of the sea and the courage with which merâ€" chant seamen, undaunted. are standâ€" ing up to the enemy‘s attack. So, in all, the. goods which entered or left the British Isles were worth upwards of £1,500,000,000â€"all of them carried by sea. The goods which entered the ports _of the British Isles last year were of a total value of £1,099,356,000â€"34.3 per cent. larger than in any year since 1929, a boom period. The exports of British manufactures and coal were to the value of no less than £413,084,000, a decline of only 6 per cent. on the preâ€" vious year‘s figures. This in spite of the fact that all avaxlable manpower . had been organized for the prosecution of the war. | Supreme at sea, it 18 rapldly gaining the ascendancy in the air and is training and equipping great armies, supported by ample supplies of muniâ€" tions of all descriptions. 1 I | They have all made their contriâ€" butions to the largest mercantile fleet which has ever been under a smgle fmqnagementâ€"-me Ministry of Shipâ€" ping in London, which unifiés the inâ€" dividual mana.gement by Government Departments of the Dominions. A powerful and wellâ€"balanced fightâ€" ing organization for duty at sea, on land and in the air has been mobilized. These merchant ships are threshing the seas on their lawful occasions. Losses occur, but they have not been so great as seriously to interfere with the business of the great group of trading communities represented by the British Empire. That is the economic mlracle of these times, and it is due to the viectorious command of the sea by the mnpires navies and the courage, resource and endurance of the merchant seamen, not only of the Empire but of all the European democraciesâ€"Norway Den- mark, Greece, Belgium, Poland,.

Britain‘s World Trade Toâ€"day is an Economic Miracle Written by Sir Archipald Hurd for he British Ministry of Information> '!Mr. F. M. Wallingford, 58 Mountjoy Street South , ‘Timmxus, Ontario. I can assure you that any efforts along this line will have the assisâ€" tance and coâ€"operation of myself and my Department. I have a feeling that were the situâ€" ,| ation put clearly before the Attorney a' General, methods could be worked out < which would remove the handicaps || imposed by the Securities Regulatidns:l under which prospecting is at present ;| carried on. | I note that your suggestions have to |â€" do entirely with the Securities Regu-;! lations which, as you know, are adâ€"|| ministered by the Attorney General‘s || Department. May I say that I haveii expressed myself publicly as betng!: somewhat in sympathy with the prosâ€"| | pectors‘ point of view in this respect j | but it is my opinion that the remedy !l for the situation lies in a large meaâ€" ‘Il sure in the hands of the prospectors ¢ themselves. || Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge receipt of letter of March 19th containing gestions on ways and means to the prospector. To sum up in a few words: Stop all interference with prospectors, prosâ€" pecting, developers and developing. Enforce the law against fraudulentj practice. Make the penalty against. offenders so severe that it will pay best to be honest. You will find the| genuine prospector honest enough. IL‘E would be better to watch the law, breakers and attend to them pmperlv Yours very truly * F. M. WALLINGFORD! The letter from Hon. Mr. Laurier mt reply was as follows:â€" Surely you can find a way to remove this nuisance law or rule without in any way endangering the interest of the public. If you do this, you will at least have made one step in the proper direction to stimulate prosâ€" pecting. Then the prospector will be able to find a grub stake and after he has located valuable mining land will be able to form a Syndicate, sell units and later form a Company and there you are,, development has started. As I have already mentioned, I do not pretend to know very much about the Securities Commission but I do know that the present ruling with reâ€" gard to pooling shares by those who put up the original funds to develop mining property make it impossible for prospectors to finance a prospecting trip or later finance the development of property. But for the sake of common sense and the welfare of our country do not put us down as criminals before the public even before we commit any crime. It seems to me that the Securities Act goes on the principle that the prospectors and mining promoters are potential criminals and therefore must not be allowed to deal with the innoâ€" cent public for fear they may aefraud them. Now is there not a law against fraud, misrepresentation or whatever you may call downright lying or deceit? Then why not enforcee the law and when one is found defrauding, deceivâ€" ing, misrepresenting and obtaining money by false pretences, make the penalty so strong that no one will dare to offend. (There was a penalty one time that effectively curbed horse stealing). Then what happened? Well, the Securities Commission torpedoed that good ship which we might here call the "Raison d‘etre‘‘ of the Mining Act of Ontario. I confess that I know very little about the Securities Commission, but it seems to me very much inclined to be like the old German who found his son Hans brooding and pouting.
