Zaâ€"Zu Pitts is another who helps in the mirthâ€" making. The story was written by Ernest Vadja who wrote such stage successes as "Fata Morgana," and "Grounds for Divorce." Vincent Lawrence, whose plays include a number of Broadway successes, wrote sparkling dialogue for the production. *"MONTE CARLO®" THE FEATURE FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY The special at the Goldfields for Friâ€" «d4ay and Saturday of this week, Nov. 14th and 15thâ€"and a genuine special it isâ€"will be the Emest Lubitsch proâ€" duction, ‘"Monte Carlo." of a courtship without hardship in the continent‘s hottest hot spot.

The Associated Boards went on record strong enough in the matâ€" ter. It is regrettable that organized pleadings should now upset the preâ€" sident of the Associated Boards. Mr. Wright‘s argument for a conference sounds like German propaganda during the late war. The war toâ€"day could be stopped by those who started it, but like the Germans, they try to blame poor Belgium for being in the way. Any reflections on the North as a counâ€" try in which to build roads came from the western piuart of the country. The progress of Mr. Needham through the "marsh and muskeg" west of Hearst was a daily text for newspapers and desâ€" patches from Northwestern Ontario. The Advance believes the only logiâ€" cal and economical route for the Transâ€" Canada highway at present is by way of the Ferguson highway and west from Cochrane. The Advance believes that the Associated Boards of Trade, repreâ€" senting all parts of the North, took the right attitude in its unanimous stand some weeks ago at Cochrane. While favouring branch roads to tap the highway, the Associated Boards was convinced that the proper route was by way of the Ferguson highway. Had those in the western section of the North agreed to this and urged the building of one or more feeders, they would have received the suppiort of all here. Instead, from the very start they have taken the position that by and influence and propaganda they could force their wishes on the proâ€" vince. Their compromise is nothing more nor less than a complete disregard of the Feguson highway route. All the smooth talk in the world will not alter this fact. This was perfectly plain at the meeting at Cochrane. It is just as plain now, so far as The Advance is concerned. If any hole and corner conâ€" ference pretends to give any other deâ€" cision, it is a straight betrayal of the decision of the Associated Boards. The cnus for delaying the building of the remaining link of the Transâ€"Canada highway rests wholly and solely urlon those advocating an impossible route. Mr. ‘Shaw warned the Associated Boards that politics would get in its fine work. This is apparent now, but the blame can not be saddled on this part of the North or upon the Associatâ€", ed Boardsâ€"of Trade. However, here is Mr. Wright‘s letter> as reaching The Advance this wseek, though dated over a week ago:â€" Englehart, Ont., Nov. 3rd, 1930 To Northern Boards of Trade, Municipalities, and Press: As a delegate to the annual meeting of the Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, held in Cornwall recently, I gathsred certain very definite impressâ€" ions whilst the debate on the Transâ€" Canada highway was in progress. Many conflicting views were subâ€" mitted to the convention, and a lengthy debate ensued thereon. Finally the gathering declined to commit itself to any particular route, and passed a genâ€" eral resolution commending the imâ€" mediate construction of the highway. In an effort to really advance the cause under discussion, the chairmar of the meeting, Mr. F. Newman of Picâ€" ton, requested all the delegates conâ€" cerned to adjourn, and endeavour to reach a conclusion uppn which the general meeting could with reason and justice act. This was attempted, and a lengthy conference ensued, but in view of the fact that each delegate was bound by Tesolution passed by the Board he represented, proved ineffecâ€" tive. Officially no agreemeni could be reached, but some very frank interâ€" change of views took place, and certain conclusions were reached, which conâ€" clusions were strengthened and conâ€" firmed by the subsequent action of the convention. Briefly it may be said that Northern Ontario is divided into two camps, each asserting its claims to the Transâ€"Canâ€" ada highway, and each submitting a strong case, and possessing influential support. Because of the resulting argument, much undesirable publicity has been given the North. In an effort to build up a case the weak points of the opâ€" position have been heavily laboured, and whilst each side has insistently adâ€" vanced arguments in support of its cwn case, each has with equal insistence, submitted contentions calculated to prejudice the possible success of the alternate route. The net result of all this has been, that the large body of people living outside the area immediâ€" ately concerned, have been treated to a form of publicity in which the difficulty of road construction in the North has been unduly stressed, and the North, in the eyves of the said public must of necessity lose support rather than gain it. on Tuesday morning of this week The Advance received the following letâ€" ter from C. W. Wright, president of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade. All The Advance has lo say it is that Mr. Wright was given fuil information regarding the matter at the last mesting of the Associated Boards of Trade. There have been no changes in the situation since then. There is no different complromise than the one suggested to that meetingâ€" viz., that unless this part of the North would agree to a route other than the The Advance Still Thinks This Part of the North Should Not Concede That There is Any Better Route for Transâ€"Canada Highway. Just as the Ontario Boards of Trade declined to take sides in such an issue, Sectional argument and contention must inevitably result in untold delay, joint action and coâ€"operation may reaâ€" sonably result in a quick realization of most of our wishes. A conference can do no harm; it is not contrary to the word or spirit of any resolution ever passed in the North;; it may do a great deal of good, and certainly it follows the intent of all the resolutions ever passed in this connecâ€" tion, in that it is a genuine attempt to get the highway through the North, and get it as quickly as possible. This conference will pass on to you, for your decision, its findings. Do you appirove of the conference, and if it is called, will you join in sending a repreâ€" sentative thereto. Please advise the writer, as quickly as possible, your ideas and conclusions. Why not then arrange a conference of all the interested parties; explore the possibilities of an agreement, and then, working in the interests of the whole North, agree upon a scheme that will in the main satisfy all concerned, thus exhibiting to the world in general, and the powers that be in particular, a united North, knowing what it wants, and determined to get it. Love is like an apple pieâ€"a little crust and lots of apple sauce. Northern Ontario is so large, its reâ€" sources so varied, its attractions so diversified, its centres of population geographically so placed, that it is manifest that no one road can possibly do justice to the country, or satisfy the legitimate ambitions of its people. H. A. PRESTON. The Timmins board of trade would have been pleased had Mr. Preston been able to add truthfully that the road from Timmins to Matachewan would also be kept open this winter. This road is already built and in good shape for winter travel as far as McArthur township. Between twelve and fifteen miles more of road would connect the road through McArthur township with the new gold camp which would be materially to the advantage of the Maâ€" tachewan area, which would then have the resources of the biggest town in the North to draw from. so is it only reasonable to suppose that any governing body will likewise deâ€" cline, or at least delay as long as posâ€" sible, their decision in the matter. Northern Ontario is so large, its reâ€" sources so varied, its attractions so Dear Sir:â€"Those having claims in Matachewan will have no trouble durâ€" ing the winter to get to their properâ€" ties. The roads will be kept open. Those whose claims lie in the eastern section of Matachewan can go up the Montreal River road, and those in the western part, such s Tyrell and Knight and other townships, can go out from Elk Lake on the Gowganda road and thence northward. Both roads are to be kept open as in former years. To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins KA leiter received this week from H. A. Preston, Elk Lake, gives the inforâ€" mation that the roads to the new Maâ€" tachewan gold area will be kept open this winter. This will be interesting and pleasing information to prospecâ€" tors and others. In his letter in this regard Mr. Preston says:â€"â€" Eik Lake, Nov. 10th, 1930.

"I understand they attempted to remedy the law and didn‘t succeed. They changed one statute, but not the other. Let them amend the statute properly if they inâ€" end to give these districts some relief." The Northern News last week says: No relief was offered to the Townâ€" ship of Teck and the other municipaliâ€" ties in unorganized districts who are fishting against payment of expenses in connection with treatment of indiâ€" gent residents who become patients in consumptive hospitais, at the recent session of the second divisional court in Toronto. Leave to appeal from a previous ruling that the municipalities owed various sums of money to Naâ€" tional Sanitarium Association, was reâ€" fused.

Accordingly, the application had first to be made to the Ontario Court of Appeal and, after two adjournments, the matter came before that court at The municipalities have been repreâ€" sented in both the High Court and Court of Appeal by Mr. W.

As the claim against Bracebridge was only $1171.50, and as the minimum amount for consideration by the Suâ€" preme Court of Canada is $2,000, speâ€" cial permission to appeal will have to be obtained, it being possible for speâ€" clal leave to appeal being secured sometimes when great issues of law turn on the result of a case even if the amount involved is less than $2,000. are liable for the expense of treatment of indigent residents who become patiâ€" ents in consumptive sanitoria. This case was fought through the High Court (where the town won) and the Court of Appeal (where the Sanitarium won) by the Towns of Huntsvilie and Bracebridge, a similar suit against Huntsville remaining in abeyance pendâ€" ing the result. Now other municipaliâ€" ties which are faced with claims of a similar nature have joined in the fight, and still others, which have not at present any claims pending but who wish the law to be settled for future protection, have informed Mr. J. H. Forbes, Secretary of the Muskoka Munâ€" icipal Association, that they will make cash contributions of various sums to aid in carrying the case to the highest court in the Dominion.

Accordingly the matter was left in the hands of Mr. P. E. F. Smily, an experienced counsel in such matters, a member of the Toronto law firm of Johnston, Grant, Dods and MacDonald, who have attended to various matters in Toronto during the progress of the case. An application will now be made to a judge of the Court of Canâ€" ada and it is expected that Mr. Boys will go to Ottawa on this business at a very early date. If you have an odd job around the place to do, give the work to one of the unemployed. Even work for an hour or two will be appreciated. Call up Mr. Garner at the Government emâ€" ployment bureau and he will send you a man to do the work. This is one way you can help to relieve unemployâ€" ment here.
