Second Forest Plane is Constructed at the Sault The second Saultâ€"constructed aeroâ€" piane of the Ontario Air Service was scheduled to be placed in service this week at a point to be named by the minister of lands and forests, having passed all its tests over the weekâ€"end. The gaeroplane, a Buhl model, took the load test, last of the various trials, in fine style, getting off the yater in 18 seconds with a load of 850 pounds. The new machine will likely be placâ€" ed in operation at some northern point where forest fire danger is high and the services of an additional ship necessary. The first Buhl built at Sault Ste. Marie was rushed into acâ€" tion last week. Two others are now under construction.

Osenbaugh, ¢f Denver. 15 Pine South (rear) Adults They are Walter Little, Dominion member for Tsemiskaming and John Rowlandson, provincial representative for South Cochrane. Many celieve that the picture of the Vimy Memorial, as published in The Advance last wtek, is the most strikâ€" ing and expressive representation of that wonderful monument yet appearâ€" ing. In The Kapuskasing Northern ‘Tribune last week thers appeared the most touching reference to the Vimy Memcrial. The Advance is sorry that Have you sten <with me the ghost army of Vimy rise from their tortured clay and move silently into possession of this aggregate, as it was shaped? They have made it theirs; and they have made it not into a remembrance, but into a message. Who shall misinâ€" terpret it? It is not "Last Post," it is "Reveille!"‘ And that is Victory where there is no enemy. These men have repeatedly vo‘iced displeasure with the administrations reigning at Gttawa and Toronto, despite the fact that they are members of the party in power. This is no leaning post for florists‘ creations, no soundingboard for tawdry orators to exploit. The fitting dedicaâ€" tion over, you and I would like to see impregnable barbedâ€"wire entanglement put around the Vimy memorial so that none may profane it. PFor its whols message lies not in near approach, but in contemplation of it as a silhouette against the glory of the morning, symâ€" bolic of the risen spirits of whom we knew at our side. it was not possible to have this prose poem on the Memorial accompany the picture cof the tribute to Canada‘s sons who rest in France. This beautiful poem is written by Ed. Stephenson, editor of The Northern Tribune. He is a returned soldier who suffered serious injuriecs overseas, but in these days of peace for the Empire carries on as best he may for what he believes to be the best interests of the Empire and its pople. Here is the tribute to the Vimy Memorial :â€" "Out cf the Strong' Came Forth Sweetness" this is our memorial, boys. We have waited for it, and here it is. It is nct merely beautiful; beauty passes. It is art. It is poetry. It is music. It is spiritualâ€"the unlimned figure, the muted verse, the still song of the heart, the unphrased symphony. It cresendos the nosility of life, it whispers the mystic language of tranâ€" quil death. It stands, but it moves. Every atom of its compress is bqthed in woman‘s ttars, every fibre of it has caught the sobs of the little child whose father marched on beyond. Thus enâ€" dewed and reverberant, it shines and it speaks to you and to me, comrades. Members of Parliament Outspoken in the North This ruleâ€"byâ€"Cabinet instead of ru‘eâ€" Dyâ€"Commons prompted Mr. Little to offer the opinion that there are apâ€" proximately 225 members of parliament too many and 96 senators whose services could be terminated without the sysâ€" tem of government being impaired to the slightest degre®. Returned Man Views the Vimy Memorial We are thousands of miles away on this Sunday morning, yet we are in the throng that stands before it, and we hear and see. A kingly man from our ranks speaks for us to the attenâ€" tive world, and he puts universal inâ€" terpretation upon this great monuâ€" ment. It is good. He stands with reverâ€" ent mien as he extols the sacrifices wrought into this massive prayer in stone, yet strongly he adjures men of goodwill to harmonize themselves into a world of unshatterable peace. It is well. (From The North Bay Nugget) Northern Ontario can boast of at least two legislators who argn‘t subject to the dictates of party leaders or ever ready to submit to Cabinet rule. This evidence of freedom of thought and action is encouraging. Were it folâ€" lowed by 50 per cent. of the members of the Dominion and provincial houses, it is certain that "better government" would result. "It is Art ; it is Poetry ; it is Music,‘ Says Returned Soldier. In an impromptu address in his home town, Kirkland Lake, Mr. Little deâ€" clared that Canada is run by the Cabâ€" inet without regard for those who sit in the House of Commons as constituâ€" ency representatives. He censured the majority of msmbers for being more concerned with the ‘"next election" than with matters that congsern their conâ€" stituencies. The member for Temiskaming gave further evidence of his independence by stating that while as good a Liberal as anybody, "there will be a change unless the government gets busy and does something." Mr. Rowlandson of Porquis Junction has been equally as critical of the acts and omissions of the Ontario legislaâ€" ture, in which he holds a seat on the right side of Mr. Speaker. Only recentâ€" ly Mr. Rowlandson condemned a Cabâ€" inet proposal to assess urban municiâ€" palities of the North for a part of the cost of building colonization roads, and with that declared that Northern Onâ€" tario is strongly inclined to initiats proceedings with a view to seceding from the provincial union. It is refreshing to learn of a little freedom of thought in parliamentary circles. If every member displayed as much courage and individuality as do Mr. Little and Mr. Rowlandson the Charlictte (N.C) Observer:â€"The greatest curse of America, says a minisâ€" ter, is Hollywood and the country‘s crime wave. Ah! the Stars and Stripes! benefit greatly. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The Finnish United Church of South Porcupine will have its first public worâ€" ship conducted ‘by the new minister, Revy. A. I.

Green, who Visited South Porcupine Some Months Ago Writes of his Trip. Scuth Porcupine, Ont.., July 29, 1986. Epecial to The Advance. Rev. Bryan Green, a nephew of Archâ€" deacon Woodall, pald a visit some months ago to South Porcupine, a full acecunt of the visit and the meetings held in connection therswith being givâ€" en in the South Porcupine corresponâ€" dence at the time. On his return to England Rev. Mr. Green wrote an acâ€" count of his impressions of the trip. Some extracts from Mr. Green‘s article are given below:â€" "A Preaching Visit to Canada"®‘ (Extracts from an article in "The Jchnian‘‘â€"the Magazine of the London, Eng., College of Divinity) "B. S, W. has just returned from an intensive evangelistic tour in Canada. The invitation to visit Canada came from that Evangelical section of the Canadian Church whose life conâ€" tres in Wycliffe College, Toronto. The cbject of the visit was especially to enâ€" courage clergy in evangelistic work. This was attempted in two waysâ€"by evangelistic missions in selected centres and by lectures to clergy. In the cours* of seven weeks Greson addressed some 1500 clergy and 235,000 laymen. The cutstanding events were a mission in St. Paul‘s Toronto, and a school of evangelism also in Toronto. "He took one journey 500 miles north of Toronto, to Scuth Porcupine, where Archdeacon Woeodall, a Johnian, is the Rector. South Porcupine is a mining district with many foreigners. He spoke to a packed church, many of the conâ€" gregation having travelled 70 miles over rough roads, and rot leaving the village until 11 p.m. "Onre result was that 14 clergy volunâ€" teered to try to take two missions every year, and to meet for conferenc® and training in order to build up in Canada a orand of parochial clergy who would be willing to do one month‘s missioning every year. "Before proce«ding to Canada, Green visited Washington: here he gave three lectures to the Conference preceding the General Assembly of the Presbyâ€" terian Church of U.S.A., which was attended by a thousand ministers; h: also spoke at that unique institution, the College of Preachers; to this Colâ€" lege the younger clergy come from all parts of the States for a week‘s course in preaching; two sermons a day are preached to the other clergy present, who tear them to pieces. In Canada he also tcok smaller misâ€" sions than that at St. Paul‘s, spoke at the chief public schools for boys and girls, addressed the graduation cereâ€" mony at Wycliffe College and preached the Synod sermon of the Niagara Dioâ€" cese. "His flying visit left the following impressions: Of course, these impresâ€" sions were gained in East Canada only and principally from a small part of Ontario; probably the West is very difâ€" ferent. 1. Thera is an enormous hunger for the gospel if presented in a fresh way; 2. The people are still greatly attached to the Old Country; often after a me*tâ€" ing it would be said, "How nice to hear an English voice again!" 3. The laity are tremendously loyal to their church and try to,take their full share in its work. 4. The evangelicals are a number of years behind their brethren at home in conceptions of worship; not in elaborateness of ritual but in such matâ€" ters as beauty and form and a willingâ€" ness to experiment with new tunes and cther adaptations of traditional featâ€" ures of worship. "The Sunday after his return Green Dbroadcast again from his own church in Cruch End." "While it is absurd to say that the groups have swept through Canada and captured its church life, their efforts have helped the work of the evangelist in creating a willingness for change and a yearning for constructive evanâ€" gelical church leadership.

Hes has been hailed as the city‘s safest auto driver. In Jackson they think that is equivalent to being the world‘s safest driver, House, who is 54 years old, has driven an automobile (or automobil¢s, more likely) for 31 years past. He has never had an accident of any kind, and neyâ€" er received a ticket for even the slighg- est traffic violation. And hs has driyâ€" en approximately 250,000 miles, which is considerable driving even for 31 years or maybe, especially for 31 years. Anfâ€" way, it is more than 8000 miles a year on an average for each of those 31 years. However, House has never had to use roads like the Ferguson highâ€" way is toâ€"day. If he had had to txavel roads as bad as the Northern roads or toâ€"day, House wouldn‘t have lasbdd half the 31 years as a driver. About the only kind of a record possible to North@rners using the roads here toâ€" day is one dealing with the number of nsw cars ussd up sy the roads. At the same time House‘s record for safe driving is worthy of note. Apparently he has never had a full House in charge of a car, always been careful and courtcous, and voted right. * Timmins PAGR sEVIn man
