PREMIER CQâ€"OPERATES IN PLANS FOR HIGHWAY SAFFTY Hon Mr. Ferguson E Teachers to Impress Greater Degree â€" The school principals in this vicinity received letters this week from Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, in his capacity as Minister of Education, asking that they again coâ€"operate in the compaign being sponsored by the Highway Safety Committee, of which Hon. Geo. S. Henry, Minister of Highways, is chairâ€" man the absolute necessity of impressing greater degree of traffic consciousness upon the minds of the younger generâ€" ation. He notes that highway traffic in Ontario is heavier this year than ever before and it promises to grow to still greater extent. It follows that the heavier the traffic, the more danâ€" gers on our highways. Mr. Ferguson urges the teachers to devote some time to the practical lesâ€" sons of safety. He has told the teachâ€" ers of the plan of the Highway Safety Committee by which they may obtain free blotters for the children‘s use in school by writing the committee, On these blotters are imprinted in no misâ€" takable terms, rules which should do a great deal to prevent accicpnts to children. A suggestion is made that children‘s interest may be stimulated in this campaign by having them write comâ€" positions on subjects related to hizhâ€" way safety. 8So crisp t In his letter, Mr. Ferguson stxjess‘ HrErE‘s a breakfast treat that‘s so crisp it crackles in milk or cream!

When the first "gasoline buggies" appeared on the streets of two continents, Maurice Houdaille of Paris, then an eminent engineer, made three simple deductions : 1. A motor vehicle could not be driven at gTE@L SpPCCO U roads . . . with either comfort or safety, without : sorbing device. 2. That the device must be able to absorb both the upward ward thrust of the shock. 3.

Marsh, the wellâ€"known bird lover and expert on bird life, some weeks ago visited Timmins and other North Land centres, giving addresses on birds, their habits, and their value to the country. At Timmins she spoke at a largelyâ€"attended meeting called by the Home and School Association and her address was much appreciated. At Cochrane she was also very popular, and altogether it may be said that the North Land was greatly int,erest,edi both in the subject and the effective , way she presented it. Now it would appear that Miss Marsh was as much impressed by the North, as the North | Land was by her address. Since her return to the south articles written for The Mail and Empire and other newsâ€" | papers in regard to birds and bird life hnave had freaquent references to the | North and the birds of this country.! Here is one article recently written by Miss Marsh:â€" "It was in the outskirts of:â€" a northern Ontario town that we met a large flock of Lapland longspurs. They were passâ€" ing northward to their nesting grounds, and had stopped to rest and dine. "There are very few birds here," we were told when we set out on this little expedition around the small lake, almost entirely within the limits of the corporation. But those who said this not been out that morning with open eyes. Little more than a block from the school where boys shouted at their ball games was a dip in the earth, like a minature ravine, on which grew a sprinkling of white birch and everâ€" greens. And here, dotting the ground and flitting among the trees conversâ€" ing in soft voices, were hundreds of Lapland longspurs. "They were joined by snowbirds, and the earth all about us stretch of bobbing heads, hunting for weed sseds among the dead leaves and the grasses. "To one from 600 miles farther south it was an unusual sight, for the longâ€" spurs are only occasional visitors with us. One April day, several years ago. a large flock dotted the ground of a 20 acre clover field, seeming to find a satisfying meal of seeds on the still brown sod. So unafraid of humans were they that in crossing the field it was almost necessary to shoo them from under ones foot, for the birds of the far north have not learned to be afraid of man and treat him much as one of théir own folk. But this visit of longspurs has not been repeated and so it was a delight to meet them in the north, almost at the gateway of their homes. "Later in the day, when on an elecâ€" tric railway car used to give more freâ€" quent means of transportation between the towns in that country, we came upon an enormous flock of snowbirds. They separated as the car overtook them, and few with us, part on one side and part on the other, looking so much like large snowflakes, that we seemed to be nassing through furries of softest snow the Hydraulic principle.

On account of the stock market . there has been a tendency to talk in sad tones about mining. It may be difficult for a man who has lost money | F in the stock market to talk in the proâ€" | in : per optimistic tone of mining in g°Nâ€" | jon eral. He is inclined naturally to 100K | jpa at everything through glasses deeply ing tinted blue. The facts, however, do nOt | warrant such an attitude. It is well | ;n known to those who have studied the pu matter that market fiuctuations have | th little connection with actual conditions on in the industry. A couple of years ago | , . the market was very hopeful in regard 8 to Red Lake, while that camp at pre-l i sent is not receiving much attention. In the meantime, howsver Red Lake has been proved up in part and is | | actually worth double the attention | | that it warranted years ago. In regard l be to the Porcupine camp there was never | ca we sh more reason for faith in this district E su |than at present. There are a number | :u vi iof proven mines here with a noteâ€" | worthy production, and the fact can | co | not be too often or too fully emphaâ€" | sized that "the surface has scarcely | Al been scratched." It is a fact that the | c0 | attitude of the stock market does guide | to ';to some extent the investment of | re Imoney in new properties. But facts | Wi S are better than market quotations. At | N the present time there is great activity | all through this area, and the resultsi th Mining Industry Never in Better Condition In regard to the mining industry at present what is chiefly required is the proper spirit of optimism,â€"n optiâ€" mism fully justified by the facts of the seem to fully warrant any expenditures made. It looks to The Advance as if the wise ones who carefully invest money in the development of Porecuâ€" pine area properties now will reap a rich harvest in days to come when the stock market catches up on the facts of the case. Touching on the general mining situâ€" ation last week an editorial in The Northern Miner said:â€" "It is indusputable that the mining industry of Canada was never in better condition, basically. It is common knowledge that there never has been a time in the history of mining in this country when such stupendous plans for the opening of ore deposits were in process of extension. It is true that the yield rate of the producâ€" ing properties was never so high. "It is equally certain that no counâ€" try ever had in any one year the amount of high grade exploration that our Northern territories will have in 1929. Dozens of companies, scores of airplanes, thousands of men and milâ€" lions of dollars will be engaged in a pitched battle with the hidden forces of nature in the great unexeplored areas. Modern science, backed by money on the modern scale and by the ageâ€"old spirit of exploration, apâ€" proaches the struggle on a hitherto unâ€" precedented basis. "New conceptions of depth exploraâ€" ation, expenditures on a scale undreamt of a few years ago by the producing companies, broad gauge plans for the extraction of the ultimate dolilar from the deposits already found and partiâ€" ally exploited, have become the comâ€" monplace in this newlyâ€"opened era of mining. "In the face of these actualities the market for mining shares presents a curious anomaly. Values are written down to the bone. What will presently emerge is the realization that what has happened to the mining market may be reasonably compared to that stockâ€" taking and houseâ€"cleaning which the commercial houses of the country exâ€" perienced in the winter of 1922. "What is staring us in the face is that actual and potential values of mining securities justify a sharp reviâ€" val of interest. It may require time, but nothing can prevent the practical recognition of the facts as they stand." SAYS CLIMATE UNDERGOING PROCESS OF ALTERATION One of the chief topics of conversaâ€" tion recently has been the weather. As the old lady told Jerome K. Jerome when he was in search of a brilliant subject for an essay, the weather is something new and "it has certainly been trying enough lately." Accordâ€" ingly, the suggestion that the climate is gradually changing may be of interâ€" est. An article now "going the rounds of the press" says that Chas. F. Marvin, chief of the United States Weather Bureau in Washington, states that in various sections of North America the climate has been underâ€" going a gradual process of alteration during the past sixty years. This has been so gradual that perhaps it has not been noticeable except to those who have been disappointed in recent years over postponed baseball games and straw hat manufacturers whose sales have been painfully slow in getâ€" ting underway. "Spring. weather, particularly during the last five or six years, has been cooler," Mr. Marvin says. "And there are charts, graphs and maps to prove it." And Mr. Marvin confirms another strongly fixed opinion of the layman, who is not a weather expert, but is guided by his own inexpert observaâ€" tions when he says that furthermore "winters have been generally milder and have been later in their arrival." How long this state of affairs will continue is as uncertain as the weather itself, according to Marvin. It is not known what law of nature brings about the changing climate and thereâ€" fore no prediction can be made as to when what are known as normal conâ€" ditions will return.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TEIMMINS, ONTARIO ONTARIO SHOULD DEVELOP NORTHERN CONSGIOUSNESS So Says Mr. W. E. N. Sinclair, Leader of the Liberals in Ontario, in Adâ€" dress at Fort William. Brief reference was made last week in The Advance to expressions of opinâ€" ion by Mr. W. E. N. Sinclair, Liberal leader for Ontario, who has been tourâ€" ing the North Land, and has taken ocâ€" casion to give his views on the present and future of the North Land. For purposes of record, and also because of the interest of such expressions of opinion it may be well to give Mr. Sinâ€" lcair‘s views in more detail than in last issue "New Ontario is new only because | we of Old Ontario do not know it as we should," said Mr. Sinclair. "The bigâ€" gest developments of the future are to‘ be up here. Your fertile acres must | carry population, under conditions enâ€" | suing their comfort and prosperity, to support the already established indusâ€" trial concerns and those that are to come. "In all future developments we must all acquire a Northern consciousness, a consciousness that will lead us not only to examine but also to develop all our resources in a distinctively Canadian way, making the most of our asset of Northern vigour and initiative. "It is that spirit which has turned the eyes of the world to your country today, and a further growth of our consciousness in that regard is both natural and desirable. No policy can afford to overlook the claims of New Ontario. All policy must be directed toward the creation of a greater Onâ€" tario. "It has become increasingly clear," Mr. Sinclair continued, "that the most significant features of our future deâ€" velopment as a province will occur in the North. New Ontario can no longâ€" er be treated as a hinterland, with problems remote and obscure as comâ€" pared with those of the older parts of the province."
