The clipping referred to by ‘‘Corâ€" nish Miner‘‘ in regard to unemployâ€" ment is as follows :â€" and perhaps they will interest some of your Cornish readers here in this camp and when we are sometimes inclined (to complain about being driven from home to work in a distant country, if we just consider the conditions of Cornish mines and of Cornish miners and their families at home, we cerâ€" tainly should be very thankful that there is a town called Timmins and a mine called Hollinger, where a great many Cornishmen are employed. Even if we are away from our famiâ€" lies we have the satisfaction of knowâ€" ing that our families are being cared for. It is much better to be away from our families and know that they have every comfort, than it is to be with them at home and feel the pinch of poverty, and to be depending upon charity for a living. In spite of some of the glowing accounts we hear and read concerning the Cornish Tin Mines, you will see by the following cutting that there is a larger number of unemployed this month than there were last month, so where do the big things come in that we read about in our papers? THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, QONTARIO â€" _ 28 50 310 Chariot Road, Illogan Highway, Jan. 12th, 1926. vorces, For the sweet childish face at the doo And to press the child‘s face to your bosom You would give all the World just for this For the comfort ‘twill give you in sorrow Send your children to bed with a kiss, P.S.â€"I may say here that the first time I read your ‘‘Cornish Post‘‘ was in South Australia. I went to school with the Editor of the ‘‘Plain Dealâ€" er,‘‘ ‘and also worked in Moonta Mines, with John Verran, who after years became Prime Minister. At a recent gathering of dentists arleybury it was decided to form a dental society to be known as the South Temiskaming Dentists‘ Asâ€" sociation, to act in conjunction with the Ontario Dental Association. Dr. W. R. Somerville, of Haileybury, is the president, and Dr. W. J. Fuller, of New Liskeard, the secretaryâ€"treasâ€" urer. chief To try you from morn until night, But think of the desolate mothers Who would give all this world for For some days their noise will not vex Their dear little feet often wander Perhaps from the pathway of right Their dear little hands find new misâ€" you Their silence will hurt you far more; You will long for the sweet childish Oh mothers, so weary, discouraged, Worn out with the cares of the day You often grow sorely impatient Complain with the noise and the play For the day brings so many vexations So many things going amiss But mothers, whatever may vex you Send your children to bed with a kigs. your bliss So as thanks for your infinite blessings Send your children to bed with a kiss. (George Jose, one of the deputation from Tincroft, in 1921.) THE MINER ‘S WIFE Then again is the wife of the unâ€" employed with perhaps four or six children,. For gold all strive and crave The rich through greed The poor through need Poor honesty has little chance To prosper in these days, So rife with fraud few can advance Except by crooked ways. This fleeting life, a ceaseless strife, Through want of cash how many sigh! How many lives undone! j Though peace and rest it may not buy God help the wretch with none. The man whose coffers overflow His wealth may be his bafie, But the poor who made him rich best know f How gold can comfort pain. It‘s strange that metal such as tin Can make much happiness, And it is strange that those who have much in d Are often in distress. Some burdened much face brave the 0 Some burdened less despair, The proper measure of our load Is how we‘re fFormed to bear. Denied the right to earn his bread What shall a toiler do? No work, no bread ; he must be fed, Or bit this World adieu. Oh, wretched state, compelled to crave _~Your fellow man to give, A little space this side the grave Permissiton here to live.~ There is but small enjoyment, As bitter woe as man may know Is seeking for employment. ‘‘Cornish Miner‘‘ also enclosed the following poems :â€" * A CORNISH MINER‘S PLAINT Sir,â€"Having been unemployed now for four years, the following comes to my mind :â€" $ Without some money here below There were 638 short timeâ€"workers. A poem, ‘‘Cornwall for the Corâ€" nish,‘‘ is enclosed by ‘‘Cornish Minâ€" er,‘‘ with the ironic comment writâ€" ten on it, ‘*And you live on air.‘"‘ Unresting to the grave. The Blend never changes; the taste is always the same. Satisfaction Always Wilson‘s It is understood that the company at present prospecting and exploring the Larchwood coal area near Sudâ€" bury for a big diamond drilling camâ€" paign to properly and thoroughly test out the area as a coal field. Recentâ€" ly a number of small shipments of the coal have been made to Toronto and these are said to have tested out well. The Sudbury Star, however says that while the mining fraternity and Sudâ€" burians generally are taking recent developments at the ‘‘Larchwood Coal Mine,‘‘ philosophically and the claims of the company in charge with a due share of reservation there is no denying the fact that there has of re" cent been a quickened and wideâ€"spread interest in the ageâ€"old question as to whether or not there is anthracite coal in Northern Ontarioâ€" near Larchwood, in commercial quanâ€" tities: This has, of course, been acâ€" centuated by the present anthracite strike in the Pennsylvania fields and the consequent shortage in Ontario. "The T. N. 0. has ordered three new steel coaches and six steel bagâ€" gage cars from the National Steel Car Co., of Hamilton, Ont. The cars are now being built.‘ ' The Haileyburian last week says: ‘‘A new company, known as the Temiskaming Navigation â€" Company Inmited has been formed by local men to operate a freight and passengers service on Lake Temiskaming. We are informed that a fast boat is now being brought in and that the comâ€" pany intend to operate a daily service between New Liskeard, Haileybury, Ville Marie, Silver Centre and other points.‘‘ ASEK SUBSIDY TO DRILL COAL FIELDS NEAR SUDBURY Though there was not a large crowd present, this made it better for dane« ing, and the Valentine dance given last Friday evening can be rememâ€" bered as perhaps one of the most enâ€" joyable dances held here this winter and speaks well for the attendance and general good time to be enjoyed at future events under these auspices. The dance broke up about half past one, this being the time advertised on the tickets sold for the event. Though no special dances were on the programme, the lists of foxtrots and waltzes were much enjoyed, the A. S. D. Club Orchestra providing the best of music for the numbers, and responding to the numerous encores. Refreshments were served during the evening by the Kiwanees, these being a very enjoyable part of the proâ€" gramme. The expected good time, promised at the dance given last Friday evenâ€" ing by the Kiwanees in the Masonic Hall here, was had by all attending this very pleasing event. (The event took the form of a Valentine dance, the Masonic Hall being artistically decorated with emblems associated with St. Valentine‘s Day, cupids, hearts and red streamers predominaâ€" ting. _ An especially attractive proâ€" gramme was prepared, this being an inovation as far as dances in Timâ€" mins are concerned. The dance numâ€" bers were on large red hearts and looked very attractive. Good attendance at Event on Friday Night and All Have a Good Time.
