PROSPECTS FOR THE TOWN OF TIMMINS ARE GOOD FOR 1928. sage, they all suggest one moral that is well worth repeating here. It cannot be overâ€"emphasized. It may be stated thus:â€"In the past the progress and advantage of the North have been due to the fact that there has been goodâ€" will and coâ€"operation among the people here, and the future depends on a sontinuance and increase of this good spirit. The North Land has the reâ€" sources and the potential wealth. The people here have the ability and the sourage for success. What is needed is that one and all, loving the North, should work together for the progress and true prosperity of the country, that it may be a friendly, contented land of advancement and opportunity. In other words, a very happy New Year to all, and may all work to make also double the attractiveness of the road system of the North Land. Tourist trade will become of increasing importance to the North. Not only will the North benefit in the usual way from the visitors, but this country has the added chance of securing additional capital to develop its industries, through the impression made by the country itself upon the tourists. Accordingly, anything that will increase the popularity of the North Land with tourists is of great advantage. The proposed belt line of roads will do that very thing. Tourists are not likely to be anxious to travel five hundred miles along the one route and return by the selfâ€"same way to the south. The belt line of roads would give them an alternative return route. They would see double the amount of eountry and would be doubly interested. The prospects of the town of Timmins for 1928 are of the best. The 1927 mayor and town council have given splendid service, and with the same type of government for 1928, the town may confidently expect progress and contentment. The 1927 council accomplished difficult and disagreeable tasks with a minimum of friction. In 1928 their path will be easier. There is scarcely a question but that taxation during the coming year will be reduced, without depriving the people of desired modern accommodation and services. The opening of Kamiskotia camp will no doubt add greatly to the beneâ€" fit of the town in the coming year. This advantage would be increased if there were a railroad connecting Timmins, Kamiskotia and Kapuskasing. In this idea there is something for the people to strive after. It should be reâ€" membered that the general advantage of the town means also individual benefit and prosperity. The helping of the town in general will assist the success of each citizen. For this reason all should also work to secure the benefit and prosperity. The helping of the town in general will assist the success of each citizen. For this reason all should also work to secure the completion of the belt line of roads for the North. That will not only help Timmins and distrifct, but it will mean a great deal of advantage to the whole North. and the North should go forward with Timmins. One of the benefits for which the North Land should strive especially in 1928 is the adoption by the Ontario Government of the idea of a belt line of roads for this North. The construction of three small strips of road would eonnect up Timmins and Sudbury, thus forming a belt line of roads that would prove of striking value in the development of the North. Such a belt line would not only open up a new section of wonderful country, but it would also double the attractiveness of the road system of the North Land. Tourist trade will become of increasing importance to the North. Not only will the North benefit in the usual way from the visitors, but this country has the Boards of Trade and other similar bodies might do well to centre on the idea of a railroad being built at an early date to Kamiskotia and Kapuskaâ€" sing from Timmins: The Timmins Board of Trade has already gone on To one and all The Advance extends the best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year. The prospects for the fulfilment of such good wishes is excellent. For some time past the North Land has been attracting the attention of the press and the people in other parts of the province, in other provinces, and in other nations. _ As the attention deepens, there will undoubtedly be new capital coming into this country to develop the resources that are here beyond dispute. The special industries of the North,â€"mining and the forest indusâ€" tries, including pulp and paper,â€"are on sound and flourishing basis. _ The opening of new mining camps such as Kamiskotia and the Ramore area, proâ€" mise an increase in prosperity and progress. The extension of the pulp and paper industries at Kapuskasing and Troquois Falls will mean advancement for the North. The success of many in this country in farming and allied lines also makes the outlook for agricultural development most encouraging. Everything seems to point to 1928 being a banner year. Elsewhere in this issue will be found New Year‘s messages to the people from Mayor Es L. Longmore, Mr. A. F. Kenning, M.L.A., for Cochrane South, Mr. Géeo. ‘W. Lee, chairman of the T. N. 0. Railway Commussion, and Hon. Chas. MeCrea, Minister of Mines for Ontario. It is not too much to say that the interest and the heart of each of these four men is centred in this North. By their work and their lives they have proved their friendship for the North Land. Their messages, accordingly, are of particular interest and especial value. It will be noted that there is one thought that seems to be predominant in the mind of each of these four friends of the North. Though no one of them even knew that any of the others would send a mesâ€" GOOD WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR, AND THE CHANCES FOR FULFILMENT. it so The Timmins town council made a remarkable record in one particular. The council had the unusual task of collecting two years‘ taxes in the one year from everybody. The fact that the work was accomplished with a minimum of annoyance or inconvenience to the people indicates the talent and good humour that the 1927 counecil gave to their difficult year‘s work. action In olden times it was believed that when Christmas Day the following year would be a particularly prosperous one. that the old belief proves well founded in regard to the yea BOW on This is the last time this year that The Advance will call attention to the fact that the cowardly murderer of Inspector Constable is still unpunished by the law. Commencing on Sunday, however, there is another whole year in which to call the attention of the authorities to the fact and to urge that TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DEC. 29th, 1927 Thursday, Dec. 29th, 1927 Happy and prosperous New Year to all, and more than that It might be a All working together, Timmins in 1928 should progress with the North be taken TIMMINS, ONTARIO.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO record as urging this work at the earliest possible moment. Other towns in the North might well follow the example of the Timmins Board of Trade in this matter. The proposed new railway line would open up a very promising country, abounding in the wealth of the forest and mine, and with excellent agricultural possibilities along the way. The railroad to Kamiskotia and Kapuskasing will be necessary in a very short time to prevent the actual retarding of the development of the country. Right now it would have posiâ€" tive value as a means of aiding the development and increase of prosperity of the whole North. Last week The Barrie Examiner, land Tribune on the passing of the country merchant, instead of passit That is what most people have been t are no country merchants any more; merchants During the holiday season the Timmins postmaster established a new post office at 10 Cedar street for his own convenience. . The Government should take the hint and establish a new post office here for the convenience of people. The post office conditions are not fit for discussion during the happy holiday season, but the people in general in Timmins might well place high up in their New Year resolutions, the resolve to work earnestly and perâ€" sistently to secure proper post office accommodation for the town. Some people have expressed a regret almost approaching horror at the amount of business ‘done recently by the Government Liquor Store. _ The matter is not especially one for regret. Rather, there is room for pleasure at the thought that all the money involved is now going to business and the Government, rather than to the blind pigs and the underworld as under the O A: Michael, the boy king of Roumania, is said to have received 5000 Christâ€" mas presents. If he had as much fun out of the 5000 as one young lad in Timmins had from five small gifts, then he is a happy ‘boy and a lucky king, indeed. The chances are, however, that kings being so badly used these days, the poor kid will be given the task of counting his gifts and classifying them, or some thing else than just being a boy and having a merry Christmas. Advance complained in a recent issue of the prominence which is given in some of the newspapers of the Proâ€" vince to reports of events of a sensaâ€" tional character, while details of the great developments in Northern Onâ€" tario are largely neglected. The Adâ€" vance says:â€"*‘‘ While some other daily neéwspapers are pandering to the senâ€" sationâ€"lovers, and so are in most unâ€" happy condition on those ordinary days when morons do not happen to be busy killing their wives or someâ€" body else‘s wives, and when the wash is not as dirty as it is on smoky days, The Toront»o Globe is consistently busy The Advance has received the usual large number of Christmas and New Year‘s greetings, all of which are acknowledged and reciprocated herewith. Among others there are kindly messages from The New Liskeard Speaker, Mr. Harry Smith (press representative of the C.P.R.), Mr. Geo. (W. Lee (chairman of the T. N. O.) and from various other firms and individuals. Even Christmas time has its cynics though they are rare at this time of year, the whole world atmosphere being against the eynic and all his works and thoughts. At Christmas, however, the world is so kindly disposed that even the eynic is allowed to live and talk. One eynic talking the other day sugâ€" gsested that Christmasâ€"giving was simply the result of propaganda in the interests of more business for the merchants and manufacturers. How any man could say such a thing, let alone believe it, when he might note all around him the joy that donor and recipient alike experience from the kindly reâ€" membrances of the season. The Christmas spirit is not the result of any propaganda. It is simply the expression once a year of the kindly feelings that the majority of people have for their friends, relatives and ecquaintances. This is a kind old world, full of kindly people. At Christmas time they give their real feelings a fuller play, brushing aside the cynics and the illâ€"disâ€" posed. There is a Christmas spirit,â€"a Santa Clausâ€"that i§$ not influenced by commerce or propaganda. This Christmas spirit is so kindly that any advantage to the business people of the country is gladly welcomed, because in this time of remembrance it is not forgotten what the merchant gives to the community in help and service during all the year. The merchant, who supplies the needs of the community all the year round, supports all local enterprises, extends credit to eustomers on occasion, and generally does his part in citizenship, is entitled to the Christmas box of a little extra business, if he gets it, according to the Christmas spirit. It is difficult not to believe in Santa Claus! The Advance asked Santa Claus for seven little gifts for this community. One of these has been grantâ€" ed already. The Advance suggested that Timmins would be pleased to have as good a town council for 1928 as the town enjoyed this year. Apparently Santa Claus arswers prayer. If Santa Claus will now grant the other six requests, The Advance will think up another seven for the midsummer holidays. iP‘rovince and the Hominion. FROor some time past The GHobe has been giving particular attention to the Northland and the mining industry.‘"‘ The Advance‘s point is well taken. The future prosperity of the Northâ€" land is a subject which concerns every man, woman and child in the Province, and one which is worthy of constant During the Christmas season this year the trade. Quite evidently this year the people shop early, with advantage to all concerned. The following editorial is from a recent issue of The Toronto Globe:â€" The preference of the general pubâ€" lie for news of a big sensation rather than for information which is worth while is not a characteristic of the present age, but is one which has alâ€" ways prevailed. The story of a big tragedy will command more attention from the average reader than will facts and figures showing the state of prosperity or adversity of the comâ€" munity in which he lives.
