Curran of the | Sault in regard to the whole North getting together to work \for the whole country here, would do well to read the report ’ The soâ€"called conference at North Bay last week in referâ€" ence to the selection of a route for the Transâ€"Canada highâ€" way through Northern Ontario settled nothing and proved nathing except the ingenuity of the Sault Ste. Marie people in what is known in modern technical language as ‘ballyâ€"ho‘ Rach of three different routes has been urged on the Govâ€" eruments as the proper route for the highway, and the conâ€" ference openly recommended two of these three routes, while the third one was as strongly supported as possible in wiew of the "packed" condition of the conference. When the conference was first mentioned, The Advance pointed out that this part of the North Land would be at such disâ€" advantage that the better plan would appear to be to keep strictly and completely away from the meeting. There were no funds available here and no desire or disposition for packing the conference with delegates to uphold the route favoured by this section. Sault Ste. Marie apparently antended to have a packed meeting and both the Sault and Budbury, according to their own newspapers organized to this efféect. The conference, as it materialized, proved to be exactly along the lines that The Advance expected. Someâ€" thing of the plans earried out by Sudbury and the Sault may be gathered from the following reference to the matter im the last issue of The Northern Tribune of Kapuskasing: "That past master of propaganda and press agent work, in The Fort Frances Times of an address by Mr. Curran . advocating at Port Arthur the organization of the soâ€"called | "unofficial legislation for the North."

As it is, the Govâ€"| ernments are no further advanced than a year ago in thist maitter. This North Land is still advocating the use of the Ferguson highway as part of the Transâ€"Canada highway while by ballyâ€"ho and propaganda the Sault and some other places are attempting to have a sideroad built as part of. the real highway across Canada. As The Advance has saidi an more than one previous occasion the Governments will have to take the onus for any route selected, and so they might as well face the situation frankly and make the shoice of the right route disregarding propaganda and inâ€" timidation. Thursday, July 16th, 1931 The Governments and the people should be seized with x realization of the seriousness of the unemployment situâ€" ation. Timmins and district have suffered from unemployâ€" ment and still have large numbers of men out of steady wark. The situation here, however, is much better than in many other places. The position of Cochrane, for instance, is really desperate. Unemployment in Ontario, in Canada, is of such proportions that the municipalities can not handle the problem. Even the provinces should not be asked to tske over the burden for the unemployed are continually shifting from one section of the country to another. The great need and justice alike demand that municipalities, provinces and Dominion alike should combine and coâ€"operâ€" ate to handle the situstion. The only cure is the creation af profitable employment. This can be accomplished by the undertaking of public works of all kinds at the earliest possible moment. The completion of the Transâ€"Canada highway should be undertaken at once by the Dominion Government; feeders for that highway and roads for settâ€" ters should be taken up by the provincial government; while street paving, sidewalks, road repairs, new buildings, sewers, waterworks and other needs might be entered upon by the municipalities Plans should be made early. It will be worse than folly to wait until the need is here. There should be no charity, but honest work provided for all. Unâ€" less the situation is met fairly and promptly conditions will be serious in Timmins, and they will be much worse in many ether places.

Surely the world has not come to such a pass that starvation can not | be kept away from thousands. Thoughtful citizens will not | object to any additional taxation for relief in the form of employment, knowing, surely, that the relief must be proâ€" | vided in some form or another, and duly paid for. Under | an employment plan the relief will cost as little as in char-| ity, and the people who pay will have something for their money, while those directly benefitting will preserve their independence and dignity. One of the big troubles in the past has been that governments of various kinds have unâ€" dertaken all their large public works during prosperous times and the cost of these has had to be met in the hard times that follow each period of prosperity. It would be well now to adopt the opposite plan of building and extendâ€" ing public enterprises when there is unemployment, when labour is plentiful, when costs are down, and when the work will do double duty in the way of benefit. The country can | pay for this as the good times return. All should be warned now. however that times are serious, and active and effecâ€" tive steps should be taken at once to meet the conditions ; that will obtain in the menths that will scon be here. 4| Those in this part of the North Land who may be inâ€" clined to be deceived by the talk of J. W. Curran of the Sault in regard to the whole North getting together to work for the whole country here, would do well to read the report in The Fort Frances Times of an address by Mr. Curran advocating at Port Arthur the organization of the soâ€"called "unofficial legislation for the North."

What chance would this North Land have in a General Council controlled by Currans. The Sault Ste. Marie Star recently printed a homeâ€"made poem about fishing near Sault Ste Marie. The poet has transcribed into language the very odor of frightened fish. That poem is so bad that it is ‘almost good. The daily newspapers publish it in full and seem to find in its odorous scales one more argument for running the Transâ€"Canada highway by way of the rocky road to Dublin on the north shore of Lake Superior. To The Advance, however, the poem seems to ring the death knell to that north shore road. If the fish are so bad, tourists could not use road nearer than two hundred miles from the Sault, for there is a powerful breeze always blowing from the same old Sault. At any rate it will be admitted, even by its enemies that The star‘s homeâ€"baked posetry is as rank as its homeâ€"cooked propaganda. Men who "kiss and tell" are rightly held up to scorn and contempt. Among men there is a somewhat similar retiâ€" cence in regard to drinking together and advertising it afterwards. Hon. Peter Heenan lost some standing last Despatches last weck gave the information that two Inâ€" dians found the body of a dead man on the north shore of Lake Superior between Goulais Bay and Sault Ste. Marie The head was completely missing from the body when the discovery was made. It is believed that the dead man lost his head trying to figure out how the Transâ€"Canada highâ€" way could be constructed through the rocks and across the chasms on the north shore of Lake Superior. It may be, however, that the man had no head when he was living. He may have been one of those North Land fellows who believed in a "compromise" route. The following little paragraph is from the latest published report of a council meeting in Cochran#@:â€"‘"Moved and seâ€" conded by Counciilors O‘Malley and Houle, and carried, that the voters‘ lists be purchased from Toronto at $71.50." This little paragraph should do much to erticourage the unemâ€" ployed from Toronto to fiock to Cochrane. It suggests that Cochrane is more desirous of supporting Toronto industry than its local institutions and workers who pay taxes, conâ€" tribute to local enterprises and patronize local people. Sault Ste. Marie now proposes to form an "unofficial legisâ€" lature for the whole North." From this it will be seen that Sault Ste. Marie is not sure that the Government will build the Transâ€"Canada highway by the rocky route, and so the Sault wants another way of telling the Government that the whole North wants this route. The Ottawa Journal tells about receiving a booklet exâ€" plaining how to make rock garden without rocks. What many patient and optimistic people in Timmins would like to know would be how to make any kind of a gz‘u'den with just rocks. e Sir Joseph Flavelle says that the only way to right preâ€" sent conditions is by reducing wages. Perhaps, if the Govâ€" ernment would expropriate some of the money made by profiteers during the recent war, it might not be necessary to cut wages so much. John D. Rockefeller says that he expects to live to be one hundred. If he does, and keeps his health and strength, he will likely be able to make a few more millions, and give away a few more hundreds of nickels and dimes. Ssome inventive genius should invent some profitable use for the daily surplus of bugs infesting the North Land these days. As one oldâ€"timer said the other day he never in all his expecience saw Timmins "so buggy as at present." The belt line of roads for the North would mean ten touâ€" rists visiting this North for every one coming now. Appole blossom time in Normandy!

Leslie Garrett, Anglican missionâ€" ary among the Cree Indians at Trout Lake in the Hudson Bay district, passed away on Saturday evening of last week in the General hospital at Hamilton, after having been removed some five hundred miles in an airplane from the far North to Sioux Lookout and then brcught from that point on the C:sm-I adian National Railways to the city of Hamilton, Ontario, making the total trip of over a tnousand miles. | Mrs. Garreit, who> was the eldest daughter of Mrs. Ellen Gomme, 70 Alâ€" anson street, Hamilton, and the late‘ Rev. George Gomme, was a graduate of the Toronto Bible College, and had beén associated with her husband for seven years in the work of the Anglican mission at Trout Lake. Last December her health began to fail, but chere was no way, other than dogâ€"team, by which she could be removed to civilization. Finally, on June 19, a plane of a minâ€" ing compuny made a forced landing near the Trout Lake mission, and Rev. Mr. Garrett made arrangements to have his wife, their three children and himâ€" self carried 500 miles to Sioux Lookout, which was the nearest point. . From there the family came to Hamilton by train, and Mrs. Garrett was taken to the General hospital. Her condition was diagnosed as typhoid fever, conâ€" tracted in the North country, but she did not appear to become dangerously ill until a day or two before her death. Meanwhile Rev. Mr. Garrett had reâ€" | turned ‘to Trout Lake. A radio broadcast was made Sunday in an effort to locate him and advise him of Mrs. Garrett‘s death.
