With the latter men. the town has followed the practice of changing the men. so as to give some employment to as many as possible. In this. the town is in diflerent condition to the Government. the town‘s programme of work being naturally restricted for many reasons. while the Government has full pow~ at to open up any of the new works that may be necessary to relieve unem- xfloyment which, in its present situation is more a provincial and Dominion re- sponsibility than a municipal one. and they simply re-placed another 4 who had been brought back from th work. The gathering of the me: around the employment office on Sat May to take the truck trip to Devon Shire created quite a bit of interest but the pleasure in seeing this grouj of men secure work was dampened b the fact that it also meant that at equal number weretobelaid ofl'.

Noble held a very dainty tea on Wednesday after- noon. the dining table being prettily decorated in green and yellow. Mrs. M. Hawkins poured tea and Mrs. J. P. S. Ballantyne poured cofl‘ee." Recently a committee was formed in Kapuskasing to care not only for the needy in the town but also in the im- mediate district. From reports from Kapuskasing and from visitors to that town it would seem that unusually ef~ fective and valuable work is being done by the committee. The work has been very ably organized not only to avoid any duplication or imposture, but also to make the very most and best of the money and goods received. Ample quarters for the work of giving out clothing, etc., and for generally handl- ing the relief work have been opened in the town hall building. To this office the applicant for relief may go for help. Clothing and other gifts may be taken to this office. A house to house can- vass for clothing has been made in Kapuskasing with good results. Visi- tors who have noticed the work carried on by the committee speak in high terms of the system, efliciency and seepe covered. The committee in charge is a particularly strong one, the best peopile of the town voluntarily serving on the committee.

ONTARIO .; Recalling the history of the Light- ', ning River area it is noted that pros- pectors have been more or less at- tracted since 1907 when Severn Fer- ,land and Dan Winks were among the ' first to prospect the area.

Although closed down and Predicting an early revival of pros~ pecting and development activity'in the Lightning River district. and noting the development of the Beattle pros- pect in Dupamquet township, Quebec, in the same belt, geological described as the easterly extension of the Porcupine gold area, Russell Cryderman. the well known prespector, has forwarded a. pro- gress report to unit holders of the On- tario Cryderman Syndicate in which he states: . “By develooing her own resources Canada can pull herself out. of the present depression. The next most logical place to carry out deveIOpment on the Porcup‘ne belt would seem to be the Lightning River gold area, and I believe there will be renewed activi- ty in these sections again." ; (From The Simcoe Reformer) .i It is reported that the University of 'i Toronto librarian has deleted the story :3f Laura Secord from the new public 'and high school histories, because he believes it to be of an entirely spurious ‘nature.

Years after- ward she was tendered a gift by the ,Prince of Wales (later King Edward ‘ VII) in honour of her heroism. To the great discredit cf the Canadian Gov- ernment her epic bravery has gone un- reccgnized to this day. Just recently :her life story has been told in “Laura I the Undaunted,” a biographical sketch !by Prince-Brown. We are not inform- f ed on what evidence her story is being {taken from the text books and if any lexists, the Department of Education should hasten to furnish it to an ex- , pectant public. In the same way there may be ex- pected good news from the area east of here. Recently there has been talk about the Lightning River area, where for years past prospectors have had more than passing interest. Many old- time prospectors have great faith in the Lightning River area. i There is a general opinion among the field-time prospectors that enough at- ! tention is not being given to Porcupine ! in the matter of mineral development tat the present time. The tendency to ; centre on distant fields have been more or less discounted by results. On the other hand the most important find of recent years in the gold line seems to be the Matachewan strike which is between the two well-known establish- ed gold areas of Porcupine and Kirk- land Lake. As Harry Preston has phrased it. “the place ti look for gold is where the big mines are.” It does seem reasonable to expect that in the neigh- bourhood of th big mines like those of the Porcupine, there will be found other gold properties of worth on the same line of strike. This would appear to be particularly true in view of the fact that the district has been scarcely scrached as yet. South of Timmine‘ there is every reason to expect big de-g velopments in the near future if worki is carried on in the townships between here and Matachewan. Indeed. reports from the country south of her suggests that there is likelihood of better pro- perties than any in Matachewan if work is only carried along to develop them.
