The Canadian Legion in the Porcupine |__ | , Mill 709 "The original date for the Soo Conâ€" vention,‘â€"this is the exact wording of the circularâ€""was Monday, August 24. It was then changed to the following day, Tuesday, August 25th. It has been decided ‘to stick to the original date, Monday, August 24th, as most conâ€" venient for all sections. Don‘t forget the dateâ€"Monday, August 24th." It may be noted in passing that the Saul:, or the Soo, as the circular says, has in this circular the grace to tell the truth at the top of the page, as the convention is as essentially a Sault, or Soo, one, as the recent conference in North Bay was a Sault, or Soo affair. The meeting at the Sault, or Soo, will not be +representative of the North Land. As a matter of fact the whole area of counitry from Kapuskasing to the Quebec border, and from the north _ _ Again this week The Advance has received a circular letter from Friend J. W. Curran, of Sault Ste. Marie. This time it is to state that the proposed conference or meeting called a; Sault Ste. Mariece by and for the said Sault Ste. Marie will be held on August 24th. The heading on the circular is "The General Council of New Ontario (in Process of Formation)" and in speakâ€" ing for "New Ontario‘" The Sault shows its usual modesty as well as its usual presumption for the benefit of the Sault. Sault Convention Back to August 24 Original Date for Sault Ste. Marie Event to be Used for Mseting in Interests of the Sault. The volunteer workers and the members of the committees worked hard. Jas. Cowan made a most effhiâ€" cient rink manager, while the secretary, A. E. Mortimer, and his good lady took care of the door. W. Forrester, the boss carpenter, took charge with his good wife as assistant in running the nightly prize draws. Several ladies from the Auxiliary assisted in this work. The Ladies‘ Auxiliary also had charge of the coal draw and the reâ€" freshment booth. In all everybody conâ€" cerned worked unceasingly for the enâ€" tire week, only to see the event such a success. The Bugle and Pipe band gave generaus support every night and the thanks of the branch goes out to them as well as to the public, the tradesmen and others for their support in assisting the Timmins Branch of the Canadian Legion in their Week of Wonders during the past week. On behalf of the executive committee as a whole we thank you again. The boxing show went over big and every night of the week saw crowds of people playing the various games. al volunteered to give a helping hand and after a hard week of hammer and saw, the rink began to show signs of the work. By Monday the finishing touches had been put on and we were away. Among the booths which drew attention were those of the R. Simpâ€" son Co., with their local representative, D. Mitchell in charge. This booth was honocured on Monday by the appearâ€" ance of the managers of the mail orâ€" der department of that concern, Mr. Brown and Mr. Carroll. The relief fund got a surprise donation from these gentlemen, but given under the name of the representative here. The T. Eaton Co. had a very attractive booth in charge of Mr. Nelson. Taylor Hardâ€" ware Ltd., drew large crowds of visiâ€" tors by the varicus demons{rations givâ€" en nightly, and the New Ford, exhiâ€" bited by McDowell Motors was‘the renâ€" dezvous of all interested in motoring. Well, the Week of Wonders is now in the background, and what a week. or rather two weeks, for some of the members! The entertainment and exâ€" ecutive committee for weeks past have been planning and canvassing all to have the event go over big. Then came the work of fixing up the rink. Severâ€" al volunteered to give a helping hand and after a hard week of hammer and saw, the rink began to show signs of the work. By Monday the finishing touches had been put on and we were away. Among the booths which drew attention were those of the R. Simp»â€" wer. We like a little criticism now and again as it cpens the way for betterâ€" ment all round. In defence of our secretary it is only fair to say that he has in the past tried to show the memâ€" bers and the public in general, exactly the way things have happened among some of those with whom we have come in contact. We again as ment all secretary THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO â€"W. A. Devine Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"It now appears that the bandits who kidnappâ€" ed the policeman at Walkerton met each other when they were serving terms in the Guelph Reformatory. One of the chief defects of our jails and prisons is the bad company the inmates are forced to keep. "In an orin letier to the press, Mayâ€" or D. McEachren of Cobalt asks for an early start on the building of the North Land highway, emphasizing the adâ€" vantage by such work to relieve the unâ€" employment problem, as well as the adâ€" vantages of the highway to the North Land. Mayor McEachren scores the inâ€" difference and neglect of the Governâ€" ments in coping with the unemployment question. As a sidelight on Mayor Mcâ€" Eachren‘s ideas, it may be noted that in Norih Bay a public meeting has been called to see if some thing can not be done to guard against the threatening danger of hardship and suffering nh154 winter through unemployment. The building of the propinsed highway would give employment to large numbers of l unskilled and skilled men and could be so handled as to greatly relieve the unâ€" employment problem. As a work for the benefit of the Province in genera.l, it could not easily be excelled. It is just the sort of work that the Governâ€"| ment should undertake at this partiâ€"| cular time, as a means of relieving the | threatened , unemployment and as a method of assisting in the of this great North Land." ‘ _ _Ten years ago there was an unemâ€" ployment problem and one measure proâ€" posed for the relief of the unemployâ€" ment situation was the building of a highway in this North Land. Thus does history repeat itself. The highâ€" way then proposed to be built has since been completed and is known as the Ferguson highway. From that highway not only the North Land but the whole of the province and beyond have proâ€" fited. Of course, the unemployment ten years ago was not so serious as at present, but it might have been had no remedial measures been taken. In conâ€" nection with the situation ten years ago and the proposal for an immediate start on the North Land highway. the following , paragraph from The Adâ€" vance of August 10th, 1921, should be of interest now:â€" "The Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs will entertain visiting members among the delegates at dinner at 12 noon. "In spite of some criticism and inâ€" sinuations, the conference will be conâ€" ducted in a broadâ€"minded syirit, in a sincere effort to help all parts of the North fairly and with good will. « "*A civic dinner will be given all deleâ€" gates at 6 pm. when it is expected a couple of distinguished visitors will adâ€" dress the gathering." HOW HISTORY REPEATS IN THE COURSE OF A DECADE "A preliminary meeting of mayors, presidents of organizations and any delegates who may have arrived will be held in the Soo, the day before the conâ€" vention at 3 pm. in order to finally settle on the programme, the scop2» of the convention and general policies in conducting it.
