To the Editor of The Porcupine Advance. Dear Simâ€"I will try to give you the facts that‘ led up to that short letter or advertisement sent in a few weeks ago. Some time towards the end of July. I am not sure of the date. the engineer in charge of the Northern Development work in Cochrane came on the job and said the n’ibney Was done and all works had to stop and to get the job finished as quickly as pos- sible. A few days later the inspector came on the same job and wanted it all finished by the Wednesday. He sent some more men from another job that was Stopped, and it was all finished on the Wednesday night, and all men and teams laid off jobs on roads that would help the settlers somewhat. In fact. one road was my own that I have been asking for some twelve years past. I have at last. after twelve years, got. a road to my place to-day. After all the men were laid off the settlers‘ roads they kept men on the trunk road, re- modelling it again or widening it out to 50 feet. So it appeared to me "hat there was no money for settlers' roads. ceived a letter in the form of a class- ified advertisement purporting to call for information in regard to the ten million dollars voted for Northern De- velopment Department work. At the time The Advance expressed its entire :i'ympathey with the idea that moreâ€"a great deal more should be spent for roads for settlers. It pointed out, how- ever, that the ten million dollars was neither lost nor strayed, as the adver- tisement suggested. but that on every hand there were evidences this year that road work was being carried on actively and effectively in this North! The Advance pointed out that while there might be excuse for settlers wax- ing sarcastic about the comparatively small amount of money expended in their behalf by the Government it was doubtful if much good were to be ac- complished by too much impatience in the matter. The best plan seemed to be to give some credit for what has actually been done and then to urge stilli further expenditures and inter- est 1. r the general advantage. In reply or further explanation The Adv. nce last week received the follow- ing etter from a well-known and pat- riot: settler of the North:â€" Brower.

H91 I wish that I had had a camera with me the day I went through the bush to visit the settlers I referred to earlier in this letter. 1‘ could have shown you some pictures of pioneering that' would not have had to take second place to any they have of our forefathers for grit and determination to make a home for their weans and wife. As the im- mortal Robbie Burns says:â€" “To make a happy fireside chime For weans and w;ife That’ s the true pathos, and sublime Of human life.” " saw a piece in the paper that some- one was suggesting putting up monu- ments to the early pioneers of the I was the first bona-fide settler in this township, so far as I know. Is it any wonder that people cannot stay on their place when they have no roads. Just think of the position of the settlers in case a fire swept through there. They have no roads to escape by. and most of the settlers are married and have little children. In fact. in the place I visited I found only one bachelor. There would be no possible chance for them to get out in case of tire, and the powers-that-be would be morally responsible for their lives. 0 It just looks to me that the Depart- ment can always find money :for trunk roads but the settler does not count in the scheme of life, yet at Toronto in the parliament buildings and at the city hall they have paintings of the early settlers in the bush hewing out homes for themselves and their fami- lies. We still have the pioneering spirit among men and women, only, perhaps, in a lesser degree. The pioneers may not be so plentiful as they used to be. In my own township there are only two miles of road in the whole town- ship, yet it is all settled up. Even the town line between Fox and Pyne is not cut through yet that are 100 settlers on in and most of them have been there six or seven years. I made a trip through there some time ago and I found most of the settlers had to pack everything on their backs to their places. Now, I know what that means, for I have been through the nflllrny- self. that trunk road for repairs and for widening it out. Why was it not built fifty feet wide to begin with? I have seen it 24 ft., 30 ft.. and now 50 ft. Any job that is well done is twice done, and all the time the settler is waiting for roads. roads. At an election address in Cochrane some years ago. Hon. G. Howard Fer- guson. prime minister of Ontario. stated that they would build the trunk road up from the Bay and when that was done they would build roads for the settlers. Now, that trunk road has been open a. few years, yet we find the greater part of the grant is spent on that trunk road for repairs and for widening it out. Why was it not built “no- o_o‘ Afi'i'u'oi'dn H cm was still money for trunk . MR. AND MRS. ll. BOYLE AND FAMILY MOVE TO NORTH BAY ( Permit and chense N9 11 country. That is good, but it would be far better to give them roads. and the money woul be well spent,â€"far bet-- ter than letting them drift to further swell the army of the unemployed and become a burden on the country. It is not much they askâ€" just to give them a road, so that it is possible to navi- gate. Their lot is hard enough. They have appealed to the Cochrane branch of the Northern Development Depart- ment several times and they have been turned down. After I had been through and had noted the state of the people. I wrote through out organization to Toronto and gave the facts of the case. and I am glad to say that it has helped somewhat. The Department has start- ed to help them at last. Thanking you for past favours, H. GOODE. Notezâ€"All who are conversant with the facts will agree with what Mr. Goode says and suggests in reference to the need for roads for settlers. The Government is aware of the need for roads for settlers. The Government is aware of the need, but one of the diffi- culties is the extent of the need and the fact that the territory covered is so large. What is true of the need for roads in the Brower district is equally true about a host of areas along the Transcontinental. and in the Timmins district and other sections. It is also true about Northwestern Ontario. Premier Drury when in omce empha- sized the evil arising from the hapâ€" hazard settlement of the North. He urged that all settlement should be in blocks. so that roads and schools. etc.. might be provided without undue cost. The truble is. however. that settlement has been allowed all over the North on the haphazard plan. To The Advance the only solution possible seems to be to provide roads for settlers where the number of the settlers and their length of time on the farms seems to warrant it. This will mean quite a bit of road-building but it certainly should be done. In the meantime. the attention of the Government and the people in general should be continually directed to the problem. That is what The Advance has been trying to do for years pastâ€"to keep the question al- ways to the front and to win supporters for the idea that the settlers in this North should be given a square deal. â€"Editor The Advance. (Contemparary Review) The foodstuffs and raw materials of the World were destroyed on a gigantic scale, writes Professor Gilbert Murray. by the war, yet they have increased, so the League of Nations figures tell us. by sixteen to eighteen per cent. the world over, and even in Europe by more than five per cent. Thus there is no shortage of food, raw material and de- mand. On the contrary, there is a remarkable rise in the standard of expectation of the masses in mosâ€"f. in- dustrial countries. There is no short- age of labour; there is more than can at the time be used. The world ought to be much richer than before; in fact it is suffering from every form of poverty. The people who want things cannot get them, the people who have made things cannot sell them. Deâ€" mand and supply do not meet. Other educators, foreign and domes- tic, have said the same thing. It. is a pretty serious charge to bring against our educational policy. Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Boyle for many years esteemed residents Oi South Porcupine, and well known through the Porcupine camp, will be interested in the following paragraph from The Haileyburian last week. The Haileyburian says:â€" "Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Boyle and fa- mily. who have been residents of Hail- eybury for several years past. will move to North Bay next week. Mr. Boyle is the local representative of the E. J. Lcngyear Manufacturing Company and as his territory has been extended to take in the western provinces, he con- siders that he will be more centrally lo- cated with his home in the city. The office and shop here will be continued as at present and he will spend con- siderable time here. 'Haileybury people will regret the departure of the family."

Of course, all of use are not fortunate enough to have the bowls that our grandmothers had (they probably have been given to some spinster aunt who keeps ithem behind locked doors of the china-closet), but there are very good substitutes. The next time you are shopping, purchase for a few cents a set. of mixing bowls which can be had spread with strawberry jam and tell you to sit quietly on the side porch and eat it while sister Mary was finishing her music lesson. Did cheese ever taste so good as it did then? Perhaps it was the way that grandmother made it; perhaps it was the faltering strains of “The First Waltz” that Mary was rendering on the organ, but I'm sure that the reason for its delectability was partly due to the little blue bowl. Remember those low blue bowls that your grandmother used to fill with oieamy cottage cheese just after she had finished making it? She would give one to you accompanied by a slice of crusty homemade bread. thickly Under the heading. "Little Blue Bowls." Barbara B.
