Stephens, Secretary LOST Wife -49p 'Even before this governing Quebec quotient is known. it is not too soon for Northern Ontario to take stock of her electoral position and commence to in.. sistently claim that number of seats to which she is morally entitled. If there is going to be any such thing as perpetuation of 26 ridings that all run "Our new quotient for eight federal members would be 48.502. But not less than 25 Ontario ridings have shown a decline in the ten years (East Algoma being onel; three of them do not show even 20,000 population. while a total of 23 other tidings are below 30,000--the 26 of them would not average 25.000 people. Supposing that Ontario re- tained its 82 members in the next re- distribution bill, her new riding quoti- ent would be 41,785. Of course, it she loses any members, this quotient will be higher: it all depends on what Que- bee shows. "The province of Ontario lost {our seats after the 1921 census, being cut down to 82 members. With the 2,638 people in Patricia district disfranchis- ed, there was an electoral quotient of 32/703 persons per riding. The quotient tot all Ontario was 35,776; and con- sidering the usual practice of having metropclitan ridings run above this tlgure, and declining county seats re- taining their boundaries though with lessened population, it is now seen that the growing, pioneering North was en- titled to at lest ten members after the 1921 census figures were known. "Within this riding, in turn. Kapus- kasing made almost a Dominion re- cord when it rang the ‘bell tor 311 per cent. increase in the decade. Ane mark the point, a more sensible land colonization policy followed in the clay belt would certainly have made North Temiskaming's showing considerably better. We have here a fertile soil which predicates successful agricultural development, it only the settlers are given a chance to survive the pioneer- ing hardships. l "Northern Ontario (not taking the Northern Development boundaries, which are absurd, but the sensible one of all territory north and west ot North Bay) comprises six-sevenths of the land area ot all Ontario. The eight north- ern federal ridings showed 264,265 population in 1921, which grew to 388,- 017 in 1931. That is close enough to a 50 per cent. increase, or thrice the increase ratio chalked up by the ban- ner province as a whole during the decade. And this in spite of the very poor showing made by two of the eight seats-the two Algomas-- which did not even hold their natural increase, but only gainetr2849 from 75,447. or around 4 per cent. IThe Boo yarns must have scared people away!) The other six ridings went up from 191.667 in 1921 to 312,570 in 1931. or 120,903 gain, which is over 63 per cent. In the van-of this excellent showing stands North Temiskaming. which scored an increase of over 130 per cent. in ten years-trom 26,028 to 59,934. I "The pzpulation cf all Ontario was 2,933,662 in 1921. and is now 3,426,488 in 1931--a gain of close to 500,000. or one-sixth, 17 (‘5 . The 228th Battalion was recruited in the North Country and the regiment included a number of men from Tim- mins and the Porcupine, quite a num- ber of them in fact. Any of these who would be interested in a re-union of the old boys of the battalion should make the necessary move to start the ball rolling. To The Advance it would seem that this is a case where the Canadian Legion could be used as a means of interesting the various mem- bers of the battalion and getting them in touch with each other.

The Kapuskasing Northern Tribune contri- butes a full column editorial as follows last week:- "Let us interest ourselves a little in the growth of New Ontario during the last ten years, as revealed by official figures of the 1931 census issued up to the present time from Ottawa. We are not able to offer a thorough statistical dissection of them; but some facts stand out with clarity which are easily grasped by anyone. co-cperation of the Legion at Timmins, Kirkland Lake, Kapuskasing, and other centres in the North it would seem to be a simple matter to get this question of a re-union for the 228th Battalion under way, In the meantime old members of the 228th should drop a note to J. H. Grainger at Larder Lake, giving their opinion of the idea of hold- ing a re-union of the members of the battalion. a night the comradeship of the days that are gone should write Mr. Grains- er at once and thus get the re-union under way at; once.

Lady Perley. Hon. E. N. Rhodes. acting Minister of Finance. Mrs. Rhodes, Sir Wm. Clark, British High Commissioner. and various mem- bers of the Government. and their wives were present as well as other notables. A photograph was taken of the official group at. the formal open- ing of the "Canada" mint, after which Mrs. Rhodes removed a gold bar, valu- ed at $8,000.00, from an oven. It was stamped "First. Canada. 1931," and bore the seal of the Dominion. Mrs. Rhodes then coined M-cent, 25-cent. 10-eenr, 5-cent and one-cent-pieces. The wives of all of the Ministers were later given a sample of one coin as a souvenir. Mr. Rhodes received a full set of the coins minted. The party then went through the whole establish- ment, which now is known, and will hereafter be known as the Royal Can- adian Mint. The Mint will continue to operate in the same way as it has done for many years, and there will' be no change in the omciais or in the personnel of the staff.
