Plan Appears Not Practical. The Advance has received a letter from H. Martynse, Essex, Ontario, subâ€" mitting a plan that he and some others believe would help the unemployment situation. The plan has been subâ€" mitted to the Ontario Legislature and may be discussed by that body. It is a good thing to have people striving to work out plans to right the present conditions, and Mr. Martynse and his friends deserve credit for grappling with the problem. The Advance pubâ€" lishes herewith the letter from Mr. Martynse, together with the letter sent to the Legislature, outlining the plan, but at the same time the scheme appears to be utterly impracâ€" tical at the present time as a method of relieving unemployment. To turn the unemployed on to farms while the farmers are having so difficult a time at present does not appear to be the best of wisdom. . Farmers apparently are suffering from a form of unemâ€" ployment, or what amounts to much the same thingâ€"a lack of profit from their employment. As for the settlers in new sections of the province, their difficulties have been serious enough to warrant consideration from all thinkâ€" ing people. The Northern Ontario Asâ€" sociated Boards of Trade last week at the annual meeting of that body passâ€" ed a resolution asking the Ontario Government to relieve the hard plight of the settler now on the land by givâ€" ing him roads and a bonus for clearâ€" ing land. It is recognized that without such form of help the majority.of settâ€" lers can scarcely hope to survive. . If the settlers in the North could hope for such assistance as outlined in the plan proposed by Mr. Martynse, they would feel the millenium had arrived. To give the settlers in the North such extended assistance would require fiâ€" nances not likely to be forthcoming. To leave the settlers in their present plight to give the suggested aid to the unemployed would be unthinkable. It would mean that the unemployed might go on the farms, but the settâ€" lers already on homesteads would feel that they were forced off. It would appear to be no better than "swappâ€" ing‘" unemployed. Despite all theories and suggestions to the contrary, the majority of the unemployed toâ€"day are not fitted to farm work. It is all very well to say that they came from the farm or their fathers came from the farm, but the fact remains that in most cases they either dislike farm work or it dislikes them.

Though |it were pogsible thus to solve the unâ€" employment problem. If there were llieves that a still more difficult situâ€" ation would be created. Indeed, The Advance is of the opinion that the plan is absolutely useless and worse than useless as a solution of the unâ€" employment ploblem. If there were any compulsion about it, the plan would necessarily fail because all such schemes require hearty coâ€"operation and earnest endeavour for success. On the other hand, it there were no susâ€" picion of compulsion about it, the great majority of the unemployed would have nothing to do with it. As a suggestion that settlers and others on farms should be given conâ€" crete help from the Govrenment, the ! plan may have some little merit. Even > mm Public work done years ahead of acâ€" tual need, in order to furnish employâ€" ment to men, is going to prove a burâ€" den in taxation, due to interest and depreciation. At best, this relief is only temporary. Whereas, if the same sum of money were spent in placing men on vacant agricultural spaces, it would be permanent and become an asset to the country. If 10,000 of the unemployed citizens of Ontario (of at least one year‘s resiâ€" dence) were placed on land with addiâ€" tional money as a loan to tide them over a three year period, they would arrive at independence and be in a position to repay the Government for its initial outlay. The Plan The Government undertakes to furâ€" nish the Settler with:â€" from this standpoint, however, The Advance is of the opinion that the reâ€" solution of the Northern Ontario Asâ€" sociated Boards of Trade suggests the better form of remedy. The letter submitted to the Legislaâ€" ture by Mr. Martynse is as follows:â€" Essex, Ontario, February 9th, 1931 Honoured Sirs:â€"The following plan for unemployment relief has been disâ€" cussed by a small group of citizens, and I have been asked to have it forâ€" warded to you for consideration, Essex, Ontario, February 14th, 1931 Dear Editor:â€"The enclosed sumâ€" mary has been sent to all members of the Legislative Assembly, and I have a fair assurance that this plan, for the relief of unemployment in Ontario, will be thoroughly discussed. With this preface The Advance hereâ€" with gives the letter from Mr. Marâ€" tynse:â€" In order that the people reached by your paper may be able to understand the suggested plan, I am forwarding it to you for use as you may see fit. Yours sincerely (1) 100 acres of land, five acres of Addedâ€""SOUP SONG" H. Martynse Farmer‘s Advocateâ€"Farmers readily admit toâ€"day that their sons have got to be a whole lot smarter than their dads ever were. That necessitates special training and study. There will henceforth be a lot of headâ€"work emâ€" plcyed in successful farming. _ _"I have been a subscriber to your y valuable paper since a number of years and have read with interest your reâ€" ports from time to time in regard to new discoveries that have been made in this province, and I think the one I am going to mention is as good or even better than any of them. I have had the opportunity of visiting the township of Macklem where there has been considerable work going on quietâ€" ly this winter by three wellâ€"known oldâ€"time prospectors, the McNab brothers, of Haileybury, known in the North Country as honest, upright men. What I have seen on my recent visit to this property shows that they have a far betterâ€"looking showing than Bannockburn or any of these late disâ€" coveries. They have several yveins on‘ their group of claims. One vein that I was very much in terested in has a width of 25 feet, and traceable mer’ 1,000 feet, showing visible gold. Also f there are three other veins well deâ€"| fined and traceable for a long distance. There are several prospectors in the| township now. I think this big vein| of porphyry that is running southâ€"east will continue to Kirkland Lake." in this established gold area of Porcuâ€" pine. Last week The Advance received a letter from an old friend of this newspaper, calling special attention to the townships east of Timmins. He specifically deals with Macklem townâ€" ship which is about 18 miles due east from here. Timmins was once part of what is now the township of Tisdale and the townships to the immediate east of Tisdale are as follows, in order: Whitney, Cody, Macklem, Bond and Currie, with Murphy to the north of Tisdale and Hoyle, Matheson, German, Stock and Taylor to the north of the townships mentioned on the east. The friend in question, who now resides at Kirkland Lake, writes The Advance as follows in regard to the prospects in Macklem township:â€" it cleared and stumped. (2) One house 18 x 20 feet, either frame or log structure. Recently The Advance has been urgâ€" ing the desirability of interest and atâ€" attention to townships south of Timmins such as Ogden, Deloro, Shaw, Mcoâ€" Arthur, Bartlett and others. Work done in these townships would indicate excellent chances for a new gold field (4) A road to the nearest railway station. (5) $100 worth of implements for farming. (6) Transportation to the farm for the family. The Advance has repeatedly voiced the opinion that while it is all right to give attention to new gold finds that catch public attention, it is the fact that in the established belts the chances of discovering new mines is even better than in the new areas that may be opened. A prospector recently said a whole lot in a few words when he remarked that gold was likely to be found where the mines are. That is why the Porcupine and Kirkland Lake camps are likely to continue to be important producers long after most of the people now here are gone. The fact that the Hollinger was not the only mine in this area was proven by the McIntyre and Dome. It is being further proven toâ€"day by the Coniâ€" aurum and the Vipond. It will be proven still further by other new proâ€" perties in this area that are sure to come into their own as the days pass. There were people who believed that Lake Shore was Kirkland Lake‘s one bet, but the Teckâ€"Hughes, the Wrightâ€" Hargreaves and other properties have proven that this is not the case. Both Porcupine and Kirkland Lake have proven, and are proving, that gold is likely to be found where the big mines are. The big mines may for a time overshadow the other properties but the chances are that new mines will spring up in the areas where gold is proven to be by the fact that it has been produced in large quantities. For this reason it should not be forâ€" gotten that it will be a long time beâ€" fore any of the new gold areas will be able to eclipse the oldâ€"fashioned ones. (3) One barn 12 x 12 feet, either frame or log structure. (7) 120 days work the first year at $2.50 per day. (8) 80 days work the second year at $2.50 per day. ‘0) 40 days work the third year at $2.50 per day. The farms are to be sold to the settâ€" ler for $1,200. No payments are to be made during the first three years, the settlers agrees to pay the $1,200 to the rate of $100 or more per year until the cost of the farm and interest is paid. During these first three years, the settâ€" ler agrees to clear one acre each year. May I hear the result of your deâ€" liberations. As a guarantee, the Government will take out a life insurance policy to the extent of the balance on the farm. If the unempoyed in Ontario were placed on farms under this plan, the Government would provide interest bearing mortgages at the rate of $1,200 per settler; and, at the end of three years begin to recover all expenditures. These settlers would furnish a market for manufactured goods, which means restored prosperity. Good Showings in Macklem Township onsiderable Work Done in Macklem This Winter.

The dancing floor is 70 x 44 feet and is one cf the most perfect cf finished surfaces. It is of hardwood cf the most desirable type and is pracâ€" |tically perfect in its smoothness and evenness. A ladies‘ cloak room and a gentlemen‘s cloak room are also a speâ€" ‘clal feature of the accommodation for dancers,. There is also a special room for the preparation of lunches, etc., for the social events. The lighting and general equipment of all these rooms could scarcely be improved upon. On this second floor is a wellâ€"appointed !reading room for the pleasure and adâ€" | vantage of the McIntyre employees. Here newspapers and magazines may be found, and McIntyre employees may use this rcom at any time. Access to the reading room may be secured by the side entrance, or through the poot and billiard room. A library may be added later.
