WWMOWWW With becoming modesty, for it is neither a dominion nor a city. though it has had a good deal to do with the upbullding both of Canada and her towns and cities, the Ford Motor Com- pany of Canada Limited is celebrating an anniversary this August, too. This. one of the country's most important in- dustries. the largest automobile manu- facturing concern in the country, and in the British Empire second only to the Ford works at Dagcnham. England. was born on August 17th, 1904. 90900999990909.oooouooonwwommmmom It came into being only fourteen months after Henry Ford's world- changing enterprise was launched at Dearbom. The beginning was exceed- ingly small. The Canadian Ford in- dustry started in a little brick build- ing that had once been a wagon fac- tory. at East Windsor. Ontario. The main building was two and a half storeys high and contained 34,000 feet of floor space. The only machinery for automobile work was a drill press. driven by means of a belt attached to one of the rear wheels of a Model “C“ If Canada had a birthday cake. it would have to be a big one and four hundred candles would make quite a shine. Without the cake, however, and without the candles. the Dominion is putting on a fairly considerable shine this summer in honour of her discovery by the mariner of St. Malo in 1534. And it is surprising the number of other birthday celebrations that have cropped up. Toronto and Three Rivers are each a century old this year. and Winnipeg is having a jubileeâ€"sixty years a city. The Porcupine is 25 years old this year, it should also be remem- bered.

A distribution unit was Open- ed up in Toronto in 1907. Two years later, another was opened. in Winni- peg; and in 1910. 1911. 1912 and 1913. units were opened in Montreal, Van- couver, London. Calgary and Saint John; the Regina unit was opened in 1919. 1M. The growth was rapid. Canada was growing and the Ford car helped it. Becoming more and more familiar on the roads of the settled East and the new-springing West. this pioneering car brought the farms and‘the towns and cities closer together, helped speed up life and make it more comfortable. opened the opportunity for better high- ways. The demand for Ford cars be- gan to exceed the supply and the plant at East Windsor extended and went on extending. But rapidly as it grew. it was not rapid enough for a great country that was getting into its stride. an authorized capitalization of $125,- 000. By 1926. it had invested $26,000,- 000 in plants. stores and equipment, with an additional $6,000,000 in sub- sidiary companies. It is controlled by approximately 23.000 shareholders, 70 per cent. of whom are Canadians. Toriay. the Ford plant at East Wind- sor, to say nothing of separate assem- bly plants at Vancouver, Toronto and Winnipeg. covers twenty-three and, a half acres and consists of the most modern and the most complicated ma- chinery for the practically complete manufacture of automobiles. There were seventeen employees the first year. Today. the average number of workers is 5,000. while branches. deal- ers, service garages and Canadian in- dustries engaged in manufacturing parts for Ford cars. employ thousands more. In the first year. 117 cars were turned out. Today the production capacity is 100,000. More than a mil- lion Ford cars have been produced in Canada in the past thirty years. for domestic use and for export to India, Australia. Africa and other parts of the Empire. The company began with an authorized capitalization of $125,- Ford car. On the lower floor they as- sembled the cars with parts bought in Detroit; on the upper storey they painted them. Testing was done in a separate one-storey brick building with 4.800 feet of floor space. and there was a small office. One acre was the total I’igott Building Hamilton, Ont.

It was June 19 when the governor sailed from Montreal on the SS. Nas- conle. The party landed on Charlton Island. James Bay. Monday. From there they flew by plane to the post at Moose Factory and made an inspec- tlon. A number of speeches were given. Mr. Cooper expressing general satis- faction with conditions in the north. A despatch last week from Moosonee says that P. Ashley Cooper. governor of the Hudson Bay Company. and a party of 24, were guests at a banquet held in James' Bay Inn, Moosonee, on Wednesday. Aug. 8th. The governor. acompanied by his wife. has been on a tour through the Hudson straits since June 19, visiting the various outposts. Many years ago, Henry Ford said. “I will «build a car for the great multi- tude. It will be large enough for the family but small enough for the in- dividual to run and care for. It will be constructed of the best materials, by the best men to be hired. after the simplest designs that modern engineer- ing can devise. But it will be so low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one." From that August day thirty years ago when the Ford Motor Company of Can- ada was founded. from the days of Model “A" and Model “'1“. to this August. when the new V-8 rolls proud- ly over the roads of the world. it has kept faith with Henry Ford's ideal. and has kept faith with the peOple of Can- ada. In the past ten years were opened the Ford Motor Company of South Africa Limited. at Port Elizabeth; the Fort Motor Company of Australia. Pty.. Limited and the Ford Manufacturing Company of Australia. Pty., Limited. at Geelong. the Ford Motor Company of Malaya. and the Ford Motor Com- pany of India. Distribution units have been established in all parts of the Empire. So the Canadian Ford enterprise has grown. giving the Dominion not only a form of transportation at once econo~ mical and proficient. speedy and con- venient and safe, but contributing mil- lions of dollars to its buying power. millions of dollars spent in wages and materials. Following the lead of the Ford Motor Company of Detroit. it was one of the first great industries to establish the minimum wage and the eight-hour working day. Within a few years. it was found that the field was too great for East Windâ€" sor to handle alone and some of the burden was placed on separate assem- bly plants.

ONTARIO Poetic Call to Have the Roads Repaired Truth as Well as Poetry in the Appeal 1 Visitors to and from South Porcupine for a Better Deal for the North Boy Scouts of Dome and South In the Way of Roads. l End at Camp. l’niled (‘hurch Innumerable appeals have been made for better roads in the North. It has been pointed out that the condi- tion of the roads has a direct bearing on the number of accidents. It is sure- ly a heavy responsibility for the powers-to-be to shoulder the bur- den of the truth that serious injuries and death itself have been the result of the fact that the roads are not kept in proper condition. Some weeks ago work was stopped on most of the roads of the North. In recent weeks it has been seriously curtailed on the high- way. There appears to be general agreement that in places the condition of the highway is such as to be dan- gerous. Where other appeals have failed perhaps the following poetic appeal may have some effect. It was received this week at The Advance office ftom a local writer who knows the facts from experience:â€" Timmins. 0nt.. Aug. 14th, 1934 To the Editor of The Porcupine Advance Dear Mr. Editor:â€" Our town is famed both near and f We know there is none better. So now I hope you patience show While you read my lengthy letter. We write to folks away down south; Invite them here; they drive; But in our hearts we have a dread The trip, they‘ll not survive. And if they do. their one big talk's “My! what a dreadful road! We surely thought we‘d ne'er reach here Without ditching half our load.“ Our press is full of accidents; All blame the careless driver; But half the time it‘s not his fault; On that I'll wage a fiver. The holes and ruts and narrow road Would make the saints to swear. For lean and fat and short and tall Are tossed up in the air. The springs are broken. baggage tips, While ploughing through soft shoul- ders; The driver does some juggling tall Like jumping over boulders. Now. don’t you think our useful North Deserves much better care? All the towns from North Bay up Are modern. bright and fair. Down in the South they're tearing up Good roads and building wider; While here we have a. measly trail Not fit for horse and rider. We know the mines lifted Canada Out of Depression's grip Yet now the land where gold comes from Is left to downward slip. Let's raise “Old Ned!" Clamom' for roads! To the powers we’ll give no rest.

Blairmono EntorprisczmThere is not much diflercnco between life and love. Life is just one fool thing after another and love is just two fool things after one another. The Mountie is always supposed to get his man. but he would be foolish to put him in the Wawa jail near the Sault. that is. if he wanted to keep the man he got. Never since it was built in 1899 has the Wawa jail been able to hold a prisoner. It has only had three prisoners and neither one of the three stayed after they sobered up. At that the Wawa jail is a stout and solid log building with six cells. each one provided with a heavy steel-barred door. On the face of it the Wawa Jail would seem to be able to hold the most of them. But keeping prisoners seems to be against the principles of the Wawa jail. The jail was built when Wawa was the centre of a min- ing camp in the 1899 rush to the Michipicoten mining area. There had been some disorder and the jail was built to provide a place for the dis- orderly. It was no sooner erected than everybody seemed to become orderly. The camp. however. was determined that at least one prisoner should rest in the Wawa jail. No legitimate case arising the boys rounded up a local. character. got him gloriously drunk. and then by an impromptu court sen- tenced him to one day in jail. For this. the character in question was given a complete new outfit. suit. underwear. shirt, socks. hat and everything. In 1890 two men indulged in public battle. and landed in the. jail. One of them was released after an hour or two. but the other was held. The second prisoner. however. did not remain long in the Wawa jail. At first it was thought he escaped through the win- dow from which one bar had been torn from the outside. But there wasn't ~room enough for a man to squeeze through. Anyway. he got out and was never recaptured. Since then the Wawa jail has been without a. single. prisoner until a week or so ago. Little George Kleinola. a transient prospector of the Michipicoten area. was arrested for some trouble at one of the mines of the district. He land- ed in the Wawa jail. At once there was protest that the arrest had been illegal. The police claimed to know what they were doing. Little George’s friends said. “All right! But the Wa- “'AWA. NEAR THE SAl'l/l‘.

And Little George wasn't there! Thus the Wawa jail maintains its record of never holding a prisonerâ€"not one of the three to a prisoner date. spent by one and all. A little excite- ment was caused by some of the pic- nickers being out on the lake in a motor boat while the storm was at its height, but they all landed safely be- fore the storm was over. PAGE
