Many questions of much interest were discussed, among them biing the matter Of methods of financing the club‘s activities. It was felt that the Kiwanis Carnival did not exactly fill the bill in view of the last two years, and another plan was ‘sought. Director Robert Mennie had a plan which he cutlined and which met with very general favour. It inâ€" volves the awarding of $1.500.00 in prizes and awards, and would attract much attention, as well as providing considerable revenue. Details of the project are to be worked out. ° President Frank Bailey was in the chair on Monday, and Viceâ€"President h xA Geo. N. Ross read the minutes of the last meeting of the directors. Emt NE of the club to he Hobby Ghow that was being by the Boy Hcouts, and to the fact that the boys needed ipacking cases or similar rough lumber for some of the articles that were to be made.

Associated Boards of _ Trade Told of T. N.O. Plans for Building North . Prompt and Substantial Assistance to be Given to the Development of the North, Says Chairman of the T. N. 0. Commission. Returned Soldiers Going on the Land to be Given Special Attention and Interest.., Special despatches from North Bay this week say that the T. and N.O.. Railway has a broad programime of© development in Northern Ontario and some of the details of this were given by Col. C. E. Reynolds, chairman of| of the T. and N.O. Railway Commisâ€" sion in addressing the delegates to] ‘he annual convention of the Northâ€" ‘rn. Ontario Associated Boards «<of Trade. "Prompt and substantial asâ€" sistance in the development of Northâ€" Ontario,‘ was promised by Col.| Reynolds, and he proceeded to outline | the plans and proposals; under which: this help would ibe given. In thinking in terms of the development of Norâ€" thern Ontario, Col. Reynolds gave high place to the returned soldiers. He expected to see a large number of the. returned men go on the land in the Northland he made it â€"very plain that 4e did not intend that they should be left to shift for themselves/as in past times,. Instead, he stated emphatically. that the T. and N.O. would make a. special point of looking after the inâ€" terests of the returned men taking up land in the North. f o wb ty ce Son Wms > "dfiuflwm@wwâ€"hm w#*‘ufiu Nurâ€"amit $ z6 Announcing that the T. and N.O. Commission believed in "action, not words," . Col. Reynolds announced plans which included new boat servâ€" ices on the lakes at North Bay and Temagami; improvement of sanitaâ€" tion and new power facilities in the Temagami area; the establishment of 24 Temagami corps of guides composed of returned veterans from this war; the rebuilding of tourist facilities at Moosonee, including a series of indiâ€" vidual cabins and restaurant accomâ€" modations for tourists anxious to travel to James Bay to shoot geese and to fish for the famed squareâ€" tailed sea trout of that reglon Foresees Ocean Port "We can‘t expect the American tourâ€" ‘st to come back to this country unless we give him value for his money," Col. Reynolds cautioned. "To do that we must improve the accomodation awaitâ€" ing him when he gets here. We mean to see to it that that job is well done." Rebuking those critics who question: the wisdom of maintaining the T. and N.O. line north to Moosonee, Col, Reynolds said most of these faultâ€" ‘inders had an ulterior motive. "They should sober up,"_ he said. "I have a ~rofound faith in the future of that road I believe that some day soon it may even be extended to degep , water (now about 70 miles away, and, though ‘t may sound fantastic at the moment, that some day you wil} see produce goâ€" ©In keeping with the eat‘ developâ€" l2 o the same brice it ment plans under consldgatlon'for ine | farmers exactly the, same price it far northern areas served by ‘th@ %: cost ug.to buy the cattle on the prair« 10.

Following four months of exâ€" haustive study, members of the: rcomâ€" mision decided that one of its big reâ€" sponsibilities: was to see that the farmer in this part of the Province got bet- ter break. "The farmer in Northern Ontario needs assistance in clearing land, in building, in securing seed and stock and implements," said .Col. Reynolds. "He needs guidance in community setlement.
