Sudbury Star:â€"A mysterious knockâ€" ing sound has been reported lately in Old London‘s famous law courts. As explanations are eagerly being sought, we venture the suggestion that the sound is merely some poor prisoner taking the rap. "Gold", the magazine of the North, has a full page feature entitled, "New Stars in the Mininz Galaxy." The page shows many stars, as it shauld. The larger stars have their names printed on their face. Among these stars whose size and brilliance give them special prominence are:â€"Young Davidson (the Hollinger property in Matachewan) and Buffalo Ankerite in the Porcupine. Both these are indiâ€" cated as preducers with a brilliant fuâ€" ture. In this feature of "Gold" it may be noted that the big producing mines are not shown in the sky pictures. The season for this no doubt is that "Gold" considers them as planets I9r worlds in themselves, known and established, and so not to se pictured among the new constellations discovered in more recent days. It is not much to suggest that if "Gold" runs a similar feature in a year or two many of the stars pictured in this year‘s picture will also be established as known planets of importance.

Toâ€"day New Ontario from a food distribution standpoint is a compact entity, served by the local agricalturâ€" ist, retail merchant] warehouses and olhces of the Crawley McCracks Company located at strategic points, the wholesale grocery establishments of Gamble Robinson Company, Naâ€" tronal Grocers Limited, Western Grocers, the northern warehouse of Canada Packers, Swift Canadian Co., Cochrane Hardware Co., and other wholesale and retail organizations New Ontario‘s growth in agriculture and mercantile activity is nut ephemeral. It is based upon solid foundaâ€" tions, an integral part of the expansion which characterizes this land of youthfcl vigor and great achievement. Side by side with this expansion has grown activity in agriculture and in the wholesale and retail stores that serve the community. Man must be served. When enterprise began to fashion New Ontario‘s future, families moved in. The homesteader came, farms dotted themselves across the Northâ€"sources of supply for lumber and agricultural produce. A local market was developed and the merchant came to cater to the domestic and industrial needs of his community, to provide the supplies which, in the early days, had to be shipped into the North from faraway points. l hey Grew with N ew Ontiario" Waterlox CRAWLEY McCRACKEN COMPANY, LIMITED St. Mary‘s Journal Argus:â€"There never was a time when as many pedâ€" dlers and hawkers were plying their trade in St. Marys as there are these days. Housewives are pestered every day of the week by sellers of shoe laces, pencils, combs and other useless truck, to say nothing of larger and more exâ€" pensive lines of merchandise. It would be a good thing if the police were inâ€" structed to checkâ€"up on some of these nuisances and see if that would not put an end to their activitles. There were 54 witnesses called in the above cases; though only 19 were heard. The evidence produced by the Crown seemed to suggest that Quesnell was considered the chief figure in the alâ€" leged frauds. In one case against Steinberg is was alleged that the supâ€" posed recipient of relief had been dead three months. In other cases it was claimed no goods were delivered, though invoices were issued. Ralph Zamonsky was committed on nine charges of fraud, nine charges of conspiring and nine charges of uttering forged documents. Isadore Goldstein was committed for trial on 15 charges of fraud, 15 charges of false pretences and 15 charges of uttering forged documents. Those acquitted are S.J. Witchel and L. Witchel, who were charged jointly with one charge each of fraud, conâ€" spiracy to defraud, and uttering forged documents, and Max Schwartz, charged with five counts each of fraud, conâ€" spiracy to defraud and uttering forged documents. Each of these three acâ€" cused were tried on one charge only, the Crown withdrawing the others when they were acquitted on the one. Jack Steinberg was committed on 10 charges of fraud, 10 of conspiring and 10 of uttering forged documents. Wilfred Quesnel, former relief office clerk, was committed for trial on 37 charges of forgery, 10 charges on conâ€" spiring with J. Steinberg of defraud, and nine charges of conspiring with R. Zamonsky to defraud.

"The Biggest Cook" Phone 1124 51tf overâ€"industrialize ; it is all dollars and cents. A farmer like myself, living, as I am told, "two weeks below Quebec," rooted to the same soil by ten generaâ€" tions of farmers, I am perhaps a little oldâ€"fashioned. Quebec has the largest proportion of spinning wheels and the smallest of steering wheels We are traditional farmers and are said to be a century behind the times, but in haniiâ€" craft we are a century ahead, because Like the builders of the Tower of Babel we are paralysed by a confusion of languages. We have plenty of maâ€" terial, warehouses full of food, and pienty of workless and jobless men. The greatest social evil is the lack of connection between the different classes. The professional and business men speak one language, and the farâ€" mer, another. There are too few ocâ€" casions such as this to bring them toâ€" gether. Tlhe city with its industrial turmoil hearsy but too feebly the voice from the furrows. if the whole nation were organized along the lines of this meeting, there would no longer be a crisis, because we would understand each other.. This is an example to be brought back to Queâ€" bec. The farmers are to be congraâ€" tulated; their wives create the home, while the men create the seenery, conâ€" tinuing the work of three centuries in Canada. In this time of depression, it is towards mother earth that the city unemployed turn hungry eyes! If the getâ€"together spirit which animates this meeting could spread throughout Canada, the crisis would be solved. The Hon. Minister of Agriculturse of @uebec had asked him togreetthe Onâ€" tario lovers of the soil who possess, like the Quebeckers, a common spirit d>â€" voted to the rebuilding Of Canada. Such a mixed meeting of business men and farmers is really comforting, and wellâ€"known writer of Quebec folkâ€"lore, and a member of parliament who had never yet made a political speech in the House, although he was listened to when he spoke there on agriculture, the topic so dear to him. Mr. Bradette explained to Mr. Bouchard that he had before him a mixed audience of desâ€" cendants of United Empire Loyalist and Quebec pioneers, interspersed with good European farming stock, all unitâ€" ed to make a greater and better Northâ€" ern Ontario. Mr. Geo. Smith, on behalf of Mr. A. J. H. Eckardt, of Toronto, the wellâ€" known benefactor of agriculture, preâ€" sented the annual Eckardt trophy, consisting ¢cf a silver tea service with tray, to Mr. Gordon Cook, for the highâ€" est points attained at the Cochrane Fall Fair. Mr. Jack Williams received the second prize, a silver sugar and cream set with tray, also donated by Mr. Eckardt. Mr. Tom Moore was the reâ€" cipient of the prize to the Plowmen‘s Association, another splendid silver tea service generously contributed by Mr. Eckardt, while Mr. P. Lavasseur obâ€" tained the silver tea service presented by the RSbert Simpson Co. Ltd., as first prize in the professional class for plowmen. Mr.Bouchard spoke also in French and English on that subject so dear and so near to his heart, "Rural Life." Mr. Joseph Bradette, M.P. for Cochâ€" rane, in a few chosen words, then very felicitously, in both English and French, introduced the main speaker, his colleague at Ottawa, Mr. Geoarges Bouchard, M.P. for Kamouraska, as an ecminent professor of agriculture, a The audience was regaled with a humocrous lecture by Dr. Piffie, F.O.B., imperscnated by the wellâ€"known enterâ€" tainer, Mr. E.

Mr. A. V. Watters, when called upon at a late hour, stated that the essentials of a speech were wit, wisdom and breâ€" vity. Dr. Piffie had supplied the wit; Mr. the wisdom, and h2 would furnish the brevity. He expressâ€" ed his sincers appreciation of the acdress of Mr. Bouâ€" chard. It was a revelation.

To doubt the future is to doubt the ingenuity of cur leading men. If those of one soâ€" cial class see only brothers in those of ancother class, then our problems are near a solution. The hall rang with applause as Mr. Bouchard sat down after the masiterâ€" ful delivery of his splendid address. The problem of unemployment is one cf overfiocw to the cities with all their allurements. Recently all influence revolved around the big social centres. We must educate the farmer‘s boys to establish themselves firmly on the land; they must be educated to elect to stay on the farm Oof their own free will. It may take five or ten years, but the cure will be forever and better than returning city people to the‘ land that farmers‘ boys are continuing to abandon. It is not a question Oof enlarging the farming land, but of enlarging the farming population. The farm never refuses bread to its lovers. The back to the land movement, as presently operated, does not seem to give proper results. It is the tw pounds of cure after neglecting the cunce of prevention. It is admittedly an expiatory formula. It is not so much the hands that must return to the land, as the heads and the hearts. Land should be taken back with pride, not as relief. We should be proud of farming, as were our forebears, as you are here. The present Ccrisis will be helpful, if it really sets us thinking more nationâ€" ally. The banking system also should be more adapted to rural requirements and not merely be an institution that gives you 21 p.c. on what you put in and charge you 8 p.c. on what you take out. The present crisis has put the farmâ€" ers in evidence. From coast to coast, the depression is just a newspaper word for the true farmer who has built real home with peace and contentâ€" ment; a workshop for the woman, a resting place for the man; where the owner has not brcken with farming traditicn and gone into debt. We have departed to> quickly from a rural civilization. Nations which have it are better off. England is reverting to the lost rural tradition. In Central Europe one is amazed at the artistic developâ€" ment and the happiness of the peasant. Some are afraid to revert to the peasant class. In the United States they say To reach the goal and solve the crisis we must help each oth>r to develop a rural civilization really worth while, which cannot be reached so long as only the city man is considered clever. We must build two distinct civilizations, cne, rural, the other, urban; both coâ€" cperating to the one enda and without distrust of each other. The city must realize that the agricultural distrust is basic. The city is drawing pecple from the against its own adâ€" vantage. An urbanâ€"minded farmer is unhappy while the ruralâ€"minded farâ€" mer is happy. When farm boys are brought up with the idgea that city moâ€" torâ€"cwners are fortunate, trouble is brewing. Happiness is really very far from the city motorâ€"owner. A schsol system more adapted to rural requirements is needed. Farmers‘ boys must be told the truth and made to realize what they lose when they leave the farm. it will take a half contury to revive it here. it would be SJavery, but it would not be slavery to the mortgags companies as chtains with cur neighbours. Speaking of the recent cold weather, the "Roving Reporter" of The Northern News has the following to say last week:â€"Unless there‘s an early spring in store for the North a few short months hence the winter of 1933â€"34 is likely to be one that present day citiâ€" zensâ€"the oldtimers of the futureâ€"can look back upon in the years to come and dilate upon the manner in which the mercury was hammered downâ€"and kept downâ€"to a distant subâ€"zero point for the longest continued period of cold weather in the memory of present doy, folk. The expression "IL remember when .. ... " is certain to be associated with that memorable week following the advent of Christmas Day, 1933, when it wasn‘t any too comfortable to stay cutdoors long and fuel bills soared to unexpected heights in attempts to keep homes decently livable. Blazing fires failed to keep out the chill; conâ€" sequently when New Year‘s came around in the natural course of events the January thaw which took the place of the subâ€"zero wave was welcomed l with open arms by everybody. It wasn‘t Of course stories of the Christmasâ€" tide holiday period were exaggerated by some of our best citizens. But could you blame them? No two thermoâ€" meters in the community registered alike. Where one weatherâ€"recorder of the hardy outdoor type revealed the presence of the mercury at around 50 below, which is pretty cold, another, not 100 yards away, blatantly insisted that it wasn‘t so very cold after allâ€"just a mere 40 or so below zero. _ Swastika, cnce the metropolis of Teck Township, usually reported more cold than Kirkâ€" landâ€"a fact that isn‘t at all surprising. There are about 15,000 people living in Kirkland toâ€"day and the natural heat from that many persons ordinarily would be sufficient to jump the temâ€" perature a few degrees, at any rate, to say nothing of the presence of about 2,000 chimneys, more or less, belching hot air up into the atmosphere. And buildings, too, accumulate a certain amount of heat during the day time and probably give off some at night. So taking it all around there are good reasons for the belief that Swastika is a colder spot than Kirkland Lake and if our fellow citizens of Swastika want to take pride in a claim of this sort it‘s unlikely that any citizen of Kirkland Lake is going to dispute it. However, thermometers can differ at Swastika, too, And on the coldest morning of 1933â€"Friday, December 29â€"reports reached Kirkland Lake that it was 58 below in Swastika at such and such an hour in the morningâ€"at 6.30 to be exactâ€"while from Round Lake came a report that the mercury had sunk to 60 below, and to the kind of weather that the end of 1933 was so bitterly cold; it was more the fact that it was consistently cold, for before Christmas the hardy citizens of the North had put up with some pretty rough treatment on the part of the weather man and they were hardly prepared for the conâ€" tinuance of the cold wave that broke into the picture arcund Christmas Day and stuck around like an alley cat that comes back to the door as often as it is driven away. Roving Reporter Talks of Recent Spell of Weather Cold wseather o fthe subâ€"zero kind plays tricks on folk who work outdoors and who necessarily eat hearty meals to keep their bodily warmth and vigour at par. A friend of ours who was outâ€" doors during most of the cold weather which followed Christmas found that he became unusually sleepy just as soon as he got indoors in a warm house. It got so that he wanted to go to sleep, just as soon as he got back home after the day‘s toil, and knowing that this friend of ours is a hearty eater we asked him if he passed up his usual evening meal in a case of this kind. He solemnâ€" ly informed us that he didn‘t give in to Morpheus that easily and added, furâ€" ther, that one evening when he was sitting at the table communing with a bowl of hot soup he fell asleep at the table and scalded himself when his chin slumped into the bowl of steaming liâ€" quid. He had fallen asleep before he had a chance to get some nourishment inside him. But that just goes to show what the cold weather will do to felâ€" low if it gets a chance. Midland Free Press:â€"There is one satisfaction about the New Year honâ€" ours bestowed by Premier Bennettâ€" none were granted as rewards for poliâ€" tical faithfulness or donations to camâ€" paign funds. ‘ you might expect up in the Yukon. That‘s all very interesting, of course, but we have it on good authority that it was exactly 43 below zero on January 29 in Kirkland Lake, and that‘s proâ€" bably about as cold as it actually got here. Charles Hall, of the Canadianâ€" Ingersoll Rand company, owns an autoâ€" matic weather recording instrument, and he tells us that the coldest point reached during that very cold morning was 45 below zero, believe it or not! 2e 20202 2 202202202,20220228, 1 n 80282 sns s 2 222212002 2022022022 s 0. .00 _0 .0. ,0,,0,,0, 0 0000000000000000000000000.0000000000000.’...000‘00"80:00000000000.0’00000’000000000000000000000000008000"‘.‘.0000000000000’000000 '00000000000.0000000"00”. o_ _0 _0 o. 0o .o 0. o o _0 _0 _0 _0 o _0. 0_ o _0 _0 .0. 0. .0 ©..0,,0,,9, xAAA LXA C LAAA LNAAA C C Wg;u:uoonooo300003oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooootoaooooo00000000000000000.o00000ooooo_onooooooooooooooooocooooooooooooooo30000303oooooooooou BUILDERS SUPPLIES HILLâ€"CLARKâ€"FRANGIS LTD.
