Much has been published in the pa- pers regarding the convention of the Ontario Provmcial Command of the Canadian Legion. just concluded at‘ Oshawa. By these reports one would; say it had been a stormy session. First of all complaints were voiced very strongly against the new pension legis- lation and the holding up of cases for months. A resolution was forwarded to the Dominion Command regarding this issue. A charge of patronage apâ€" pointments was made by some of the delegates and others made very plain statements regarding the actions of some of the tribunals. Delegate Wal- ters, of Windsor. saidzâ€"“Men who have no qualifications for the work have been placed in these positions." Simi- _lar statements were made and after a [long discussion a resolution was for- TIMMINS $6.50” $7.40 44021 Cavalier 45021 Cavalier warded to the Dominion convention asking for their support in the matter. with the hope that the conditions will 'be remedied. Another session heard complaints levelled at the Poppy Day fund with charges of disloyalty levelled ‘at officials of the Provincial Comm-and. After a heated argument a committee was named to investigate the com- ‘plaints. A brighter side of the convention was! the report of Col. Picking, in which it was disclosed that the Ontario Com- mand had enrolled 10,000 new members in the past year, had wiped off a heavy deficit and showed a surplus on hand. The total membership in Ontario now stands at 21,000 and efforts are to be made for the 30,000 mark before next year‘s convention. Our president Austin Neame was ap- pointed on the committee to report re- garding the establishment of other branches of the Service Bureau and also to assist in its work. This will ‘mean a great deal for the returned men .of the district, as President Neame will {be in a position to give definite infor- imation on its functions. One very important part of all the{ proceedings was the speech of Earl; Jellicoe at the banquet given in his honour. Earl Jellicoe summed up the work of the B. E. S. L. in a very few words, but their meaning is obvious to all loyal citizens and members of the Legion. He said: “The British Empire Service League has two main topics; firstly, it works for the betterment of the ex-service community throughout the Empire; and secondly, it stands to :strengthen the ties and the unity of : the Empire." “Buying of Empire goods lwas one of the chief campaigns now [being in operation. and this was bear- ‘ing fruit in England, where the coun- tryside is placarded with advertise- ments bearing the words ‘Buy Empire Goods and promote trade within the Empire‘." This is in keeping with Em- pire Shopping Week in Canada, but why only a week. we are at a loss to understand. A good slogan would and should be “Buy Empire Goods all the time, as none are better.” We have nor. oeen informed to date regarding the social side of the con- vention, but our delegates will tell us that part when we hear them at our first general meeting. Your correspondent received a letter from the Vi-Tone Company stating that the professional swimmers were coming to Timmins on Sept. 18th. No doubt a meeting will be held by the committees of the branch to see what Ontario THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO we can do in the matter. But in any case it would be well to ask them to bring anng their fur-lined bathing suits. judging by the weather over the week-end. Col. Scobell has a good pro- position if we can get it arranged. There has been rumours of members resigning from the branch. on account of some of A. E. Mortimer’s letters in this paper. It is strange how some: people turn. When our secretary first took up his duties. words of praise from all quarters poured in regarding this feature of The Advance, then just be- cause a few strong words were written several have stated supposedly, they are through with the Legion. To the writer this seems to be a very petty matter and one that should be easily cleared up to the advantage of all. The branch does not want to lose any members; in fact we want to get more; but while all this bickering is going on new members will not come in. Let's get everything off our chest before the season is well started. With harmony all round things are sure to go along ‘in good style, and we shall have a sea- son of very sociable times with a long list of new members coming in to en- ] joy them. Comrade Forrester voiced a scheme whereby those members who were sus- pended could come back into the branch by paying a nominal fee. This no doubt will be one of the topics un- der discussion at the opening general meeting. So keep on the look out for the date, and come with your card. If you have any grievances bring them along too, and above all let's make it one of the biggest and best years in our history. Word was received just before going to press that Col. Picking, had been elected president of the Ontario Com- mand of the Canadian Legion with McIntyre Hood as first vice president. McIntyre Hood. is the president of the Oshawa Branch. Austin Neame. our president was re-elected to the execu- tive committee and also retains his position as zone representative of this district. A matter of interest to all here was the selection of Sault Ste. Marie as the meeting place for the next convention of the Ontario Com- mand. This will enable us to send a full quota of delegates and will do much to benefit the members in this part of the province. Don’t forget Earl Jellicoe's wordsâ€" “Buy Empire Goods whenever possible" is the advice ofâ€" L. H. SAUNDERS APPOINTED ONE OF ORANGE ORGANIZERS L. H. Saunders. until recently the business manager of The Orange Sen- tinel, Toronto, and formerly a well- known citizen of North Bay, where he was a member of the council of the municipality 'for several terms. has been appointed one of the Special organizers for the Orange Order under the Grand Lodge of Ontario West. Mr. Saunders is widely known throughout the North and his friends here will be pleased at his new appointment. Southerners Should Not be Misled by the Sault It may be that all the propaganda.â€" and some of the propaganda is little better than misrepresentation,â€" may deceive the people in the South, but it certainly is not fooling any thought- ful person in this part of the North Land. Just as the recent conference at North Bay in regard to the proposed route of the Trans-Canada highway turned out to be nothing more nor less than a plan to force the Sault route on the country as the alleged wish of all the North, while it represented only the opinion of the Sault, so the "General Council” held last week at Sault Ste. Marie was only concerned with Sault Ste. Marie and district and did not in- clude any material part of the North. In an editorial comment, The Northern News, of Kirkland Lake, says:â€" “A vigorous drive for the benefit of the iron industry appeared to be the all important subject at the meeting of the General Council of Northern and Northwestern Ontario at Sault Ste. Marie on Monday last. Resolutions were passed asking the Ontario Gov- ernment to increase the bounty on iron ore and the Federal Governmnt for better tariffs. Other resolutions concern- ed the improvements of certain health and tourist trade conditions. All very well and good. “Yet the meeting was reported in the daily press as represnting a united north and created a decided impression that Northerners from all parts were there. This is far from the real state of affairs as the representatives were practically all from the southern fringe of this great Northern Ontario. As far as we can learn there wasn't a muni- cipality represented. north of North Bay and yet Southern Ontario is led to believe the chief interes; of Northern Ontario is the aiding of the iron ore industry. “The controversy over the location of the trans-Canada highway in North- ern Ontario did a great deal of adver- tising of the north and was the means of making many Ontarions better ac- quainted with their own province. But there is much to do in this regard. The announcement of Premier Bennett that the Cochrane and northerly route had been chosen despite a statement by Premier Henry that the matter was un- decided. should do much to show the importance of the real Northern On- tario. Southerners should not be mis- led by all the newsmatter coming from Sault Ste. Marie." Sudbury Stanâ€"As good a guess as any is that business has turned a corâ€" ner. In fact, it seems to have turned four corners. and. is continuing to walk on around be same old block. W. A. Devine Refers to Value of Trans-Canada Road Construction Will Create Work for Many Men. Will Attract Tourists and Increase Revenue. Says. Dr. Doolittle. It will be remembered that a few years ago Dr. P. E. Doolittle. president of the Canadian Automobile Associa- tion. spoke in Timmins under the aus- pices of the Timmins Board of Trade and the Home and School Association. He emphasized the value of a Trans- Canada Highway to all the Dominion and though not pointing out any par- ticular route it was evident to all lis- tening to his address that he felt that what is now known as the Ferguson highway would naturally form part of the route of the All-Canadian highway across the continent. On account of his position as president of the Cana- dian Automobile Association. Dr. Doo- little recently has attempted to pre-‘ serve silence as to the route that should ‘ be selected for the Trans-Canada high- way through this North. This may be diplomatic, but it is not perhaps as pat- riotic as a frank statement in the mat- ter would be. There is a chance that the most expensive and the least de- sirable route may be selected simply through political pull and paid propa- ganda. Unless Dr. Doolittle has changed his opinion from what it was when he was in Timmins some years ago he would be an ardent supporter Inow of the route by way of Cochrane . and Hearst. At the present time, while keeping away from suggesting any choice of route, Dr. Doolittle is actively urging the immediate commencement of work on the completion of the Trans-Canada highway. In an article in a recent special issue of The Toronto Globe, Dr. Doolittle writes as follows in regard to the value and benefits of the Trans- Canada highway:â€" “Hardships and misfortune have a fashion sometimes of not proving a total loss. and an outcome sometimes results that largely ofl'sets the adverse effects. There was a war one time and Canada suddenly found a stagna- tion of business that threw many out of employment, and to help tide over. the slack period a start was made on the Toronto-Hamilton Highway as an emergency relief measure for the un- employed. The emergency quickly passed as demands for munitions and volunteers came which altered the labour situation, but the work had been well begun, and, in spite of mounting prices, it was carried on to a finish. “So valuable was the highway to the commerce of the Province of Ontario that in a few years it proved quite un- able to cope successfully with the great advance in transportation, and the se- cond parallel highway was developedâ€" the Dundas Highwayâ€"and already there is an agitation for a third road, which appears to be already a neces- sity. “A condition somewhat similar'to that which prevailed at the time of the commencement of the Trans-Canada Highway has now developed, and from present appearances the longâ€"boosted completion of the Trans-Canada high- way appears to be reasonably in sight. The immense number of unemployed. due to general conditions, has made it imperative to set big undertakings go- ing if these men are to be enabled to retain their self-respect and work out their existence until times improve. “With the definite assurance of the Prime Minister. when elected. that he would make the Trans-Canada high- way part of the Federal programme. the assistance of the Dominion Gov- ernment to the various Provinces pro- mises a quick start for the completion of the great undertaking. "The'interest aroused in this work extends far and wide, and we have just opened our mail and found in it a letter from Great Britain enclosing a press clipping from the Newcastle Journal of a column or more in length with a vivid description of the com- pleted section of the highway. and also of the territory through which the re- mainder must be built. “The value of the highway to Can- ada, no matter through which part of Northern Ontario it passes, is enormous on accouunt of the facility with which motorists east and west will be able to cross the continent in the summer sea- son through a zone characterized by long summer days and cool nights. The local value will be greatly influenced by the type of country through which it passes and the amount of local interest that will be developed in that com- munity. Tourists out simply for a holiday will linger and spend both time and money in districts which offer fine scenery with local attractions such as hunting. fishing. bathing beaches and comfortable and attractive hotel ac- commodation. These points will .no doubt be taken into consideration by the Hon. Mr. Henry and his colleagues. ;and although every one will not be ;satisfled with the indicated route. yet the influx of summer visitors into the Canadian Northland. where they will not all stick to the highway will lend itself to increase business and prosper- Iity through the whole north country. “The value of the tourists' develop- ment in districts that are attractive to wealthy people who want to get away from the heat and bustle of their home lands will result in very many fine summer homes being built by people whose homes are elsewhere but who will spend their money freely where they get the surroundings they desire. “We were much impressed a few years asp by an address given by the President of the Maine Tourist Associa- tion. He was speaking in Halifax on the importance of the tourist trade to his State and in the course of his re- marks. he said: “Ten years ago the as- sessed value of the State of Maine was $90,000,000. but in the last ten years foreignersâ€"and by foreigners we mean those whose permanent residence is outside the Stateâ€"have come and bought suitable sites and built summer homes which have raised the assess- ments of the State for taxable purposes by $100,000,000. so that at the present time the non-resident taxpayer is carrying more than half of the entire burden of the State." “Suitable locations for summer homes exist all throughout our Norzhland. and we look confidently forward to one of the immediate results of the comple- tion of the highway; of an increased and taxable value of districts through which it passes that will largely offset its cost." In urging the completion of the high- way between Tlmmins and Sudbury and thus forming a belt line of roads in the North, The Advance has pointed out the fact that several mining camps now held back because of lack of trans- portation facilities will be served by the proposed road. One of these mining areas is the Shining Tree districts. Every property in these camps that {\nother Argument for Timmins-Sudbury Road psomtses development is an argument in favour of the completion of the road. The latest such argument to be noted is the property formerly known as the Atlas Mine. A despatch last week from Sudbury in referring to the Atlas Mine says:-â€"â€"“A. J. Young, well-known in mining and financing circles of Ontario has purchased the old Atlas Mining property in the Wasapika section, West Shining Tree, and is preparing to cperate on a small scale. A shipment cf high grade has already been made, according to repoms from Shining Tree. The Atlas was once controlled by a company with a capitalization of $5,- 000,000 but recently fell under a sale of execution for around $5,000. The Atlas Property, originally known as The Ferguson Claims. was the first discovery in the Wasapika section of the West Shining Tree gold area. Spectacular gold showings occur in nar- row quartz veins. some of which have been Lurtially explored from a tunnel driven at the base of a 60-foot bluff. The Evelyn vein was specially re- markable for its enrichment in pockets, and was partially explored from a shaft, sunk to depth of 40 feet. The property has been inactive for several years and until a few weeks ago no attempt was made to review its possibilities. TIMMINS NIEN INTERESTED IN BEAR LAKE PROPERTY A despatch from Sudbury in The North Bay Nugget last week says:â€" “Taylor, Bush and Associates. of De- troit, have completed a programme of diamond drilling on the Bear Lake pro- perty, consisting of twelve claims which were optioned last fall from Charlie O'Neill and Associates, of Sudbury aim Timmins.
