The police are working On Tuesday evening after the meet- ing of the Porcupine Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star, Worthy Matron Mrs. Hall and Mr. F. H. Hall held a reception for the members of the Order, their husbands and wives and a number of visiting members. A very tempting banquet was served a!- ter which toasts, songs, speeches, were given in a delightfully sociable and in- formal manner. Worthy Patron W. H. Johns acted as toast master for the ocâ€" casion. After the toasts to the King. and to the Order, Mrs. Huxley of Schu- maoher. sang “Nuthin.” Short infor- mal speeches were made by the various guests, among them being Mr. Brown of the Englehart Chapter of the Order. Mrs. W. H. Johns sang “0, Dry those The Box Social held under the aus- pices of the Young PeOple' Society in the United Chumh on Mmday evening was a success. both socially and finan- cially. The first part of the evening was taken up with community singing l and a short programme. Mr. R Jones gave the tenor solo. “Sunrise and You.~ after which Misses McGavin and Free- man. Rev. Hussey and Mr. Saunders were the quartette which sang “The Keeper.” Mr. M. Rose. of Timmins. gave two violin solos. “Spanish Dance" by Mosczkowski, and “Album Leaf." that revealed to his homers he was a real master of his art. Miss Lillian Huot acted as his aocoinpanist. Then came an amusing medley of songs by the Male .Chorus in which “My Bonnie hung over the gas tank" till “She was Yawning in the morning.” and frag- ments of the “Old Oaken Bucket" were found “Neath the Crust of the Old Ap- ple Pie." However they all revived and two more violin solos by Mr. Rose acted as a wonderful restorer. “Intermezzo" by Mascagni. and the encore, "Humor- esque" by Dvorak, were classics which were rendered with a delicacy of touch ; and a fineness of technique that de-. lighted his audience. The next item proved the piece de resistance of the evening. Madame Ronalda Joanesci appeared with Mr. B. Saunders'in the duet, “Madame will you Walk with Me?" They made a decided hit but in .

These numbers grew only I 35 per cent. in the ten years to 4 213; but a recent enactment added the Northwest Territories to the Yukon constituency. making a 1931 total of 11,346 persons. Eavouring this special representation as we do because of many peculiar considerations. we would nevertheless argue that Northern On- tario, Northern Manitoba and Northern Quebec are entitled to exactly the same consideration except that the latter three tidings would be reckoned from ? their own provinces. Such an arrange- ment would provide only four members for the truly enormous territory extend- ing from the eastern boundaries of Alaska clear over to Labrador, and as. much as 1000 miles deep from north tel south. Each of these four members would have an extraordinarily difficult time to communicate with but a frac- tion of their constituents even once a year, and their expanding interests would be an unremitting charge on the most devoted member. Do we not all believe that these four ridings will each eXperience sensational develop- ment during the next decade, making record gains in population? Especially because they are all unrepresented in the Senate, there is the more reason for their having a beggarly quartette of voices in the House of Commons." RESULTS McINT’YRE BOWLING LEAGUE GAMES LAST WEEK “There will be time yet to discuss this question before the redistribution bin is brought down; and we sincerely trust that not only will our Northern contemporaries see the justice of a de- mand for fifteen seats for the North, but that the press and maple of the older parts will also convince them- selves of the merit of such contention. “The Yukon stands as a. law unto “We note with surprise that some of our contemporaries, after a most cur- sory glance at a few figures in the cen- sus conglomerate. are mildly suggesting that Northern Ontario should probably get one or two more members. having eight now. We showed that the North was morally entitled to a least ten members instead of eight from the 1921 census, and is now fully entitled to fifteen for its present 388.017 papula- tion. It would be the rankest injustice to perpetuate about sixty of the exist- ing ridings in Old Ontario, based on actual declines recorded in most cases, while the full exaction of the new pro- vincial quotient of 41,785 .operated to hold the North down to ten members in the redistribution in the face of its fifty per cent. increase in ten years and the certainty of its continued ex- pansion. There isn't the remotest chance that the North will merely re- main stationary in population from now till 1941; but even if there were. with fifteen members we would only be on equality with about forty seats south of North Bay. . For some tune past. and especially since the preliminary figures {or the Dominion census have been published. The Advance has been advocating an extra member {or this part of the North. The population certainly war- rants it. and the extent of the territory to be covered makes it especially desir- able. The population of the riding of North Temiskaming has more than doubled in the past ten years and there is certainly need for further repre- sentation. The Advance has largely confined itself to this immediate dis- trict where the facts are so apparent. but at the same time there seems to be little doubt that other parts of the North. and notably the Nipissing area should have a more equitable represent- ation. The Kapuskasing Northern Tri- bune goes The Advance one better. or several better. It takes up the ease for the whole North Land and urges with much reason, that there be fifteen members, instead of the present eight in the Dominion House.
