The entertainment committee say they are going one better than last year, so if that is the case, we will have to "double deck" or "muzzle load" the seating accommodation.

"The attention of our shareholders is directed to the very low rates which your company received for the service supplied, and which is without doubt an important factor in assisting in the upbuilding, growth and prosperity of the great mining industry which your ' company serves. It is to be noted that the gross electric revenue is less than 'eighty-five one hundredths of a cent ; (.85¢c) per kilowatt hour, which after taxes is reduced to about‘threeâ€"quarâ€" ters of a cent (.75¢c) per kilowatt hour. This figure compares more than favâ€" ourably with the revenue received from any similar undertaking on the continâ€" ent, and it should be a source of pride to al our shareholders to know that your company is thus able to do its part towards the development of the territory served. From time to time our rates are criticized, but the criticâ€" ism is not substantiated by the facts, and it is with pleasure that the facts are drawn to the attention o out shareholders, that they may be in a position to refute unfair and unjust The following is the Dome School report for the month of February:â€" Standing of the Pupils in the Various Classes at the Dome School for the Month of February DOME SGHOOL REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY criticism." "The comparative operating stateâ€" ment shows the increasing burden of taxation to which your company is subâ€" jected. The application of income tax by the Federal Government to privateâ€" lyâ€"owned public utilities, while publicâ€" lyâ€"owned utilities are tax exempt, is unjust and unreasonable. Practically 10¢;, of the revenue collected from cusâ€" tomers is ‘returned to the public through the various Governmental auâ€" thorities. We know it is the desire 0‘ all connected with the companyâ€"our customers, shareholders and employsees -â€"t,o- cheerfully pay their share of the co:t of administering our country, but we also believe that we are justified in asking that all public utilities be taxed fairly and without discrimination, reâ€" gardless of ownership.

J. Nesbitt says in THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO "On July 24th at 2.30 p.m., a Moth airplane patrol with A. L. Harvey as pilot, discovered heavy smoke about 30 miles north of Lac Seul and 15 miles south of Red Lake. The plane proâ€" ceeded at once to the deputy chief ranger‘s headquarters at Red Lake and by radio notified the chief ranger at Goose Island on Lac Seul and also the district forester at Sicux Lookout. There messages were received at 3.15 p.m., and at that time an H.S. machine was passing up at Goose Island and they immediately loaded it with pumps, hose and two men and left for the fire at 3.45 p.m:, reaching there at 4.30, or, within two hours after the fire was discovered. The plane then went on to Red Lake and brought in Deputy Fire Chief Perrigo with two more men and equipment and landed them at 6 p.m. In the meantime the Goose Island staâ€" tion had obtained another plane and six more men and four more pumps and equipment, and they were rushed equipment of various kinds, were sent in by air. A portable radio set was flown in on the second day and by this means constant communication with the fire crew was maintained. Men and supplies were ordered as needed and daily reports on the proâ€" into the fire that night. Aircrait worked on this fire from daylight to dark for several days and a crew of 30 As a typical instance of work done by the fire prevention service of the Proâ€" vincial Air Force, the following report was read in the Legislature by Hon. William Finlayson, minister of lands and forests: Bush Fire Put Out With Assistance from Air Patrol in overcoming sales resistance is too well known and too fully proved to require further comment. From a purely selfish standpoint, it pays to keep up one‘s advertising, as thousands of individual experiences have proved. The general economic benefits to the country as a whole, however, are just as real, but are not"so generally reâ€" cognized." "Advertising likewise offers twoâ€"fold opportunities: first, it enables individuâ€" al business men to meet effectively the unusually severe competition of the present period; and second, it renders the country a great economic service. The value of wisely directed advertising "This year," he stated, "offers the adâ€" vertising business both a challenge and an opportunity. The challenge is twoâ€" fold; first to the business man who adâ€" vertises, and second, to the advertisâ€" ing man who prepares and direécts his campaigns. Business men must have the courage to maintain their advertisâ€" ing appropriations in the face of the present business recession. The time to advertise is when sales are, hardâ€" contrary to the general practice of adâ€" vertising chiefly when business is good and sales are easy. The advertising man, on the other hand, must have the courage to cut out all unnecessary frills and to make his copy produce direct results. The business man has the right to expect that his advertising bring in some definite orders as well as build up goodâ€"will. Those who manâ€" age advertising must bear this in mind. Also they must cut out all waste and extravagance, and make every dollar count. Some forms of institutional a@â€" vertising cannot bring immediate reâ€" sults, and this, of course, does not mean that they should be discontinued.. In general, however, advertising should pay as it goes. Well directed advertising can do more than any other one factor to hasten economic recovery in the United States, Roger W. Babson, noted economics auâ€" thority, said in an article in the Bosâ€" ton Evening Transcript Feb. 15. Roger W. Babson is usually quoted as the most authoritative expert on econâ€" omics on the continent. The other day discussing the present situation, which he recognizes as not desirable, Babson said that wellâ€"directed advertising can do more than any other one factor to hasten _ economic recovery. People should not take this as just a general statement referring to big firms, but as a principle applying to all in busiâ€" ness. It applies with force to Timmins as truly as to New York. The business men here who are "sitting pretty‘" are the ones who have been consistent adâ€" vertisers. In discussing the matter Babson, the expert, says:â€" Now is the Vital Time to Advertise Says Babson Book Agent (to farmer): "You ought to buy an encyclopedia, now that you*' boy is going to school." â€"Afternoon tea and sale of work and homeâ€"cooking at the Salvation Army hall, 9 Fourth avenue, Saturday, March 8th, at 3 p.m. ~10 The Ladies Auxiliary of the Canadian Legion are holding a whist drive in the Oddfellows‘ hall on Monday, March 10th. These events are always very pleasant ones and no one will make any mistake by attending. Farmer: "Not on your life. Let him walk, the same as I did." "An interesting incident in connecâ€" tion with the fire occurred when the fire advanced under a heavy wind close to the main camp. Two pumps ran continuously day and night and saved the camp. During this crisis hourly reports were received from Charlie Ward. the operator, whose equipment and keyboard were only saved by the steady streams of water. ‘"The use of aircraft and radio not only enabled the fire to be discovered in its early stages but made it possible to bring in pumps, men and equipment rapidly and the men being brought in this way are fresh for work and are able to cope with the situation."

Every bit of equipment was flown in by air and this fire was put out when it had burned one thousand acres, but it would have been a very large fire if it had not been properly looked after. There was no overland equipment or travel by canoe or motor boat and the whole operation was carried on from the air and directed by radio.
