es with the two railway systems and the provincial governments,‘ neafly 100,000 individuals have been taken: from the citilés and placed on farms. The breadâ€" winners in most cases thus provided for teresting and â€"helpful wuy with the ""backâ€"toâ€"theâ€"land" â€" question. There are several ‘points about<the editorial in The Mail and Empire that are worthy of special note. For instance the fact that nearly 100.000 individuals have gone "back to the farm" in the last year or two should certainly disâ€" count the occasional story ‘of a failure in this class of people. Even stories of, ten, twenty or even more families throwing up the plan lose any special significance when the total of 100,000 is held in view. In comparison with 100,000, even the exaggerated stories of abandonment of farms under the "backâ€" toâ€"theâ€"land" plan appear inconkequenâ€" tial. Another special point is in regard to the plans of the province ofâ€"Quebec. It will be adntitted by all in Ontario who have studied the quest.on that Quebec has been more successful than balance between agriculture and try. Quebec‘s present attitude is all the more noteworthy on this account. The last special point in The Mail and Emâ€" pire‘s editorial is a plea to the newsâ€" papers to refrain from unnecéssarily sensational references to alleged failâ€" ures in the "backâ€"toâ€"theâ€"land"> plan. Newspapers with a due sense of proâ€" portion and of fairness will not make unnecessary sensations of any matters. The other types of newspapers may be set . down as hopeless. Their idea is "anything for a sensation," particuâ€" larly if some political purpose may be achieved thereby. The editorialâ€" in The Mail: and Emâ€" pire is as follows:â€" \"The â€" wholesomeâ€" backâ€"toâ€"theâ€"land movement in which Hon.

At such a time, newspapers everywhere should reâ€" frain from publishing sensational storâ€" ies regarding the failure of occasional migrants to the land. These people constituteâ€" a small minority, and the unnecéssary airing of their grievances tends to discourage an invaluable movement which if properly developed can make a real contribution to the renewed development of prosperous conditions throughout Ontario and the Dominion.‘" Blairmore Enterprise:â€"By stating in our last issue that a certain individual sat an a chair, we were threatened with inflammatory libel. "In the Province of Quebec Premier Taschereau ‘has announced that his Government plans to intensify the backâ€"toâ€"theâ€"land movement by extendâ€" ing grants or money, for a period of three years to farmers who are willing to place their sons on abandoned farms. ‘The Department of Colonization. Game and Fisheries is coâ€"operating with the Department of Agriculture in this work. In the view of Mr. Taschereau, a longâ€" continued exodus of young men and women from rural areas to urban disâ€" tricts has weakened the basis of Queâ€" bec‘s prosperity and development to a disquieting extent. It is the Governâ€" ment‘s intention to do all in its power to correct this unprofitable situation. _ "Most of the provinces have coâ€"oper« ated with the Federal Government and with the railways in this movement, and satisfactory results have been obâ€" tained in many parts of the Dominion, though there has beer a percentage of failures, due perhaps to poor selection on the part of some municipalities. It is understood that the Ontario Governâ€" ment will continue to place suitable settlers on the land along the existing highways, and where colonization roads Ahre used they will probably be put in shape under the unemployment relief plan. It is understood that Mr. Gordon during his present trip to the North Country, is giving some time to the study of the problem. lived fcormerly on the soil and were atâ€" tracted to urban centres during former boom periods.

A resident of South Porcupine was present re seizure by bailiff for taxes. It was stated that this seemed to be the only way to make the applicant live up to his obligations as he paid no attention to tax notices. He proâ€" mised to make monthly payments. There was a letter from G Gauthier solicitor, re costs of appeal in the Holâ€" linger case. There was also a letter confirming judgment given re case in connection with Ambassador Mines. The byâ€"law was passed fixing the taxâ€"rate for 1932â€"1933. Tisdale township council held their regular meeting on Monday with all the councillors present; Reeve Thomas being still absent.
