Last week The Advance made referâ€" ence to the meeting at which Mr. W,. E. N. Sinclair, leader of the Ontario Libâ€" eral opposition, questioned Mayor Harry Weeks, of Englehart at a meeting of the Englehart board« of trade. Mayor Weeks seemed to get tne better of the argument all the way round.

France Electrifies her Railways LIMITED Royal Bank Buiiding, TORONTO, 2 We recommend and offer no doubt due to the fact that he knew what he was talking about, the subject being roads in this North, and Mr. Weeks being experienced and expert in this line. Mr. Sinclair‘s answer, after leaving Englehart, was to suggest that Mayor Weeks was a politician and was playing politics in the position he held. This was far from fair and will be generally resented by the people of the North, especially those who know maximum safety, velvety smoothness, Brothers Six will spoil you for any selfâ€"adjustment, easy operation.

Currsier Morors 763 At the general meeting of the Lanâ€" cashire Social Club held in the Holâ€" linger Recreation hall on Friday evenâ€" ing of last week, it was decided to hold the club picnic at Bayside Beach near Barber‘s Bay, instead of at Golden City as previously decided upon. The picnic is scheduled to be held on Sunâ€" day, July 6th. Members who intend to go to the picnic should let the secreâ€" tary or president know as soon as posâ€" sible so that the necessary arrangeâ€" ments may be completed. Commenting on Mr. Sinclair‘s speech at North Bay in which reference was made to Mayor Weeks, The Englehart Times last week said: "Are we right in presuming that this constitutes _ the _ misdemeancur of Week? Is it "discussing publicly matâ€" ters of policy as enunciated by his emâ€" ployers‘ when a trusted public serâ€" vant who knows every rock and every hole in the road for a radius of fifty miles to attend a Board of Trade meetâ€" ing and have the temerity to exchange words with the Hon. Mr. Sinclair? It is unthinkable "However we will be charitable and say that is was a political gesture deâ€" signed to please his friends at North Bay. But surely someone handed him the wrong dope. "Contrary to the opinicns of some we might say that Mayor Weeks wasn‘t given a fat job by any political partyâ€" he started work as cookee in a bridge gang. Credit is due to him. "Just another correction or two. .1. His service to the Sharpe township are purely voluntary, and he receives no salary for same. Only last Sunday he was seen conducting prospective settlers through the township. 2. Mr. Weeks is only road inspecttor and handles no appropriations. Mr. Sinclair says that it was the political development of the Conservative machine that impressed him most. We don‘t quite get the significance of that statement. What kind of politics would a Conservative machine expect to develop?" LANCASHIRE SOCIAL CLUB PICNIC AT BAYSIDE BREACH Mayor Weeks. It may be noted here that a lot of people in both parties misâ€" take the proper attitude for a man like Mr. Weeks. He is not working for either the Liberal or the Conservative party. He is working for the people of the North. He receives no money from either party and to this extent owes them no allegiance. When it comes to A matter of roads in this North, the opinion of few people should be as valuable as that of Mr. Weeks. , Then why should he not speak, especially when directly questioned. If is adâ€" mitted that it would not be expedient for him to launch any bitter criticisms against the party in power, but this surely should not forbid him expressing an honest and nonâ€"partisan opinion on a matter with which he has the closest acquaintance. He is not really accused of doing more than give the facts as he knew them, when questioned. It is absurb to pretend that any censure is due for this. Indeed, if Mayor Weeks had refused to give the public facts he knew about the people‘s, roads he would have laid himself open to blame then. YA THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Blairmore, Alberta, Enterprise: A Calgary women was fined $25 and costs for kicking a police officer. Evidently policemen cannot be treated like husâ€" "Our respected contemporary, the "Northern Miner‘"‘ doesn‘t think much of the Boston Creek district smelter, In fact it called it "The Phantom Smelter.‘‘ Nevertheless with all due respect to our leading press authority on Canadian mining we feel that it‘s very proper conservatism is perhaps a little overdone here. Granting that the depth showings at Amity and Patâ€" terson prove the existence of large bodies of copper ore, it ought to be deemed possible that the many copper prospects of the whole area would in the aggregate make Noranda, plus Newbec look small. And, after all, somebody has a charter for the purâ€" poseâ€"the erection of a smelter along the T. N.O. line. So we can still hope." WILL Commenting on the doubtful tone of The Northern Miner in referring to the probability of there being a smeltâ€" er built at Boston Creek or Englehart or elsewhere in the main line of the T. N.O. railway, The Englehart Times last week says:â€" ‘"No, I‘m sorry to say, it‘s ten years more than that." "Surely you aren‘t inclined to be sorry about it. Perhaps in 20 years from toâ€"day you may begin to feel something of a patriarch, but nowâ€"." "No, sir," he came back decidedly, and his eyes sparkled. "In 20 years I‘ll still be hard at it. I will have had 20 years more valuable experience, and I‘ll be on the job." Dozens of telegrams from members of the legislature and others arrived during the day, and the premier‘s teleâ€" phone jingled constantly, bringing perâ€" sonal messages of felicitation and wishâ€" es for continued success and wellâ€"beâ€" ing. Numerous telegrams of birthday conâ€" gratulations lay on Mr. Ferguson‘s desk, and standing here and there were large baskets of flowers. One bouquet in particular, which he took away with him when he left the offce for the day, was made up of rosesâ€"one for each year of the prime minister‘s ageâ€"and had been sent by the Toronto Conserâ€" vative club. "It‘s 49 you are toâ€"day, is it, Mr. Ferguson?" The Mail and Empire askâ€" "Mr. Sinclair‘s remarks don‘t worry or even interest me in the slightest," the premier retorted. "I say again that I am very glad indesd that he has gone up to the north and will be able to see what it‘s like. It‘s about time he found out something about that part of the province. We, on the other hand have been workmg at it for years." The Mail and Empire caught the preâ€" mier for a few moments yesterday afternoon. Although it was his birthâ€" day, he was busy. ‘"When did all this happen?" "It has been going on for some time, according to Mr. Sinclair. You have not been following his remarks as reâ€" ported in the papers?" "Not I." "Well, it seems that yesterday he told the Liberals of Fault Ste. Marie that your government was allowing settlers to take up lands worthless for farming, and which were without roads, schools or churchses." The Toronto Mail and Empire last week had the following interesting inâ€" terview with Premier G. Howard Ferâ€" guson, on his 59th birthday, who conâ€" fessed to being too busy to take time to study Mr. Sinclair‘s speeches at party gatherings:â€" "Well, Mr. Ferguson, I hear you‘ve been placing defenceless settlers on worthless land in Northern Ontario."

MAIN L About 180 men will be engaged in the Cochrane district during the summer, tneir duties being to watch for fires, to superintend the burning of slash and to remove possible fire hazards. Additional equipment to be installed this year in the district includes five steel towers, two wooden towers, four pumps, two new track speeders, two new trucks and about 75 miles of teleâ€" phone lines. The work of forest proâ€" tection is expanding each year and the service is being extended gradually. Towers are being located on the best sites available and they are linked up with the different centres by telephone. Th supplies for the Little Abitibi tower will ‘be sent inâ€" by arirplane, arrangements having bseen made with the base at Remi Lake to uAndertake this task.

RADIO OUTFIT FOR FOREST RANGERS IN THE DISTRIGT A correspondent writing from Cochâ€" rane this week says that a new departâ€" ure in fire fighting, so far as this secâ€" tion is concerned, will be introduced in the installation of a radio outfit conâ€" necting up the towers in course of erection at Stimson, 19 miles cast of Cochrane cn the Canadian National Railway lines to Quebec and at the Little Abitibi Lake, north from the tracks. The code system will be used and the operation will hbe similar to that introduced in the Red Lake disâ€" trict which mining region is connected by radio with a stiation at Sioux Lake. see another of the damaging bush fires that have swept over the North. Against this theory, however, there is the more hopeful one that conditions in some ways are much better than ever before. The people have learned by sad experience in the past the danâ€" ger of bush fires and there are now more efforts made to prevent the start of forest fires and to fight them intelliâ€" gently when they do start. In the way of. forest fireâ€"fighting methods great improvements have been made in the past few years. Men and equipment along this line are admittedly better than they ever were hefore. Whether or not the Government ‘"had a hunch" that 19829 was going to be a forest fire year, it is certain that special preâ€" cautions and safeguards are being takâ€" en this year. The equipment for fightâ€" ing forest fires both in men and equipâ€" ment is much better than ever before. A great deal of study and consideration has been given to preventive measures and in that line this year the plans are especially good. One of the fatest additions to the forestâ€"fire proftection and prevention equipment is radio outfits for some of the towers in this part of the North Land. â€" In other parts of the North radio has been comâ€" monly used, but this season is the first where the value of radio is being tested out by the fire rangers in Cochâ€" rane riding. Towers Near Cochrane to be Connected up With Radio This Year to Aid in Forest Conservyation On account of the accumulation of slash in the woods during the past year or two, owing to the wet weather makâ€" ing it next to impossible to get the stuff burned at the proper time, there are many who feel that the danger of forest fires in the Cochrane area is probably worse than for several years past. Some, indeed, go so far as to express the fear that 1939 will likely More than 225 different color combinations on various models were delivered last month by the Hudson Motor Car Co.

The story of Chapter One is based on the activities of a remarkable man, who masked his identity under the pseuâ€" donym of "The Tiger," and was the terror of every crook in the city. The Tiger outwitted the thieves in almost every big robbery and restole the loot. It was believed however, that he had perished in a fire and crooks began to operate more freely. Now, after two years of silence, The Tiger returns to interrupt criminal acâ€" tivities in the home of Amos Crain, an invalid confined to a wheel chair.
