Marbuan Working on the McKenzieâ€"Porcupine Group Under operations carried out several years ago a sulphide ore body 1,500 ft. in length with a width of 60 feet was located on surface. Ore is found in a shear zone surrounded by lava and porâ€" phyry. A shaft is down 50 feet, at which point a level has been opened up for a distance of 200 feet.

There is one essential to fCreign trade and that is more buying as well as selling.

Two babies, a boy and girl, were born at Kirkland Lake on Thursday last, Nov, 29th, the day of the wedding of Princs George and Princess Marina, and they will be namel after the royal couple. The girl is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John M. MacDconald, and will be named Marina. The boy, son of Mr. and Mrs.Gerald McCrack, will be namâ€" ed Gsorge or Kent. $150.00 was saiq to be cOosts. Aciion against Henry Ellman, editor of the Finnish newspaper "Vapaus," published a; Sudbury, and circulating at Timmins and Oother centres, and against the Finnish Organization of Canada, for damages totalling $5,000.00 as a result of an alleged libel, was settled out of court, last week. When the case came up G. M. Mil‘‘sr, K.C., counsel for the plaintiff, Onni Rossi, of Nairn, advised the court that the parâ€" ties in the action had arrived at a setâ€" tlement and he had been asked to seek ths: court‘s approval of this. The case was accordingly withdrawn without costs. It was learned that the settleâ€" ment was for some $200.00, of which LIBEL ACTION SETTLED WITH FINNISH NEWSPAPER _ of Peat, Marwick, Mitchell Co. D. McK. McCrELLAND, F.C.A., of Price, Waterhouse Co. haps, after the visit of Dr. Faulkner scme plan may be adopted to alleviate conditions for the doctors. Another question that Dr. Faulkner might consider with benefit is the idea of appo.nting District Medical Offâ€" cer of Health for the North to replace the one dismissed at the change of government. There is so much unorâ€" ganized territory in the North where there are no local health officers that for the safety of health of the people in general a district imedical health officer seems necessary. Another question that will no doubt receive attention during Dr. Faulkner‘s visit will be that of the compensation paid to doctors for attendance on reâ€" lief patients. At the present time the highest amount paid a doctor for relief is $100,.00 a month. In the North there are certain small allowances permitted for special travelling expenses in the form of motor car mileage. The Govâ€" ernment has recognizeq the disadvanâ€" tage under which the dcctors in the North suffer. In certain localities in the North, where there is widespread unemployment., and the doctor‘s paâ€" tients may be nearly all on relef, the compensation now allowed is quite inâ€" adequate. As a matter of fact all the doctors who happen to have patients in the rural districts find that they are giving much of their time for nothing. In, the larger centres the number of rellef cases also makes a very serious situation for the ordinary doctor. Perâ€" Word from Toronto this week sugâ€" gests that Dr. J. Faulkener, Minister of Health for Ontar.lo, will pay a visit to the North at the coming weekâ€"end. He will come to Cochrane, it is expectcd, and from there will make side trips to see conditions and view circumstances for himself. There has been talk of wideâ€"spread malnutrit.on among the children of people on relief, especially in regard to those on homestcads in the North. The records the Dept. of Public Welfare at Toronto are said to contain records that suggest that many children of settlers in the North are suffering seriously from malnutriâ€" ticn. This point was emphasizeq reâ€" cently by Hon. Dr. Croll, Minister of Public Welfare, when at a conference between some interested in doctors in the South being paid. more than at present, he contended that conditions among children of people on relief in the sparselyâ€"settled areas of the North was mugh worse than in other parts of the province. This was one point that Dr. Faulkner suggested at Toronto Jast week that he would consider and look into carefully at the time of his coming visit to the North. Asked :f conditions were as represented ‘by Mr. Croll and what the Government intended to do to alleviate conditions, Dr. Faulkner is quoted as saying:â€""I cannot say anyâ€" thing until I get a glimpse of it at first hand. I have something in my mind., but until I know definitely just what the ‘situation is, I cannot make any statement."

Agaln there is controversy about Canada‘s part in the Great War. Slncel 1918 various authors have publlshedj bocks regarding events in those years of 1914â€"1918. Hundreds of books in six to twelve volumes have dealt with the topic. Publishers found a ready and eager market for sales and nearly every library has its full share of this kind of litsrature. Most of the soâ€"called hisâ€" tory books of the Great War were critiâ€" cized and leading writers and newsâ€" paper men got busy and told in book fcrtm the version from various battles as they either witnessed it or as related by those who took part. Right Hon. Llyod George was one of those who published a version of the happenings during the years in question. This acâ€" cocunt has recently been on sale in magazine form in several instalments but found what can be gathered from an editoriad in Monday‘s "Globe" another argument is in course of construction. It centres around the attack on Passâ€" chendaele by the Canadians. In his book ~Lloyd George declared the Haig offensive at Passchendaele in 1917 as "wantsn waste‘ and the critic Mr. T. Stewart Lyan now says "this is not based on facts." In his defence "Mr. Lyons has helped to clear up for Canaâ€" dians a possible cause of deep and enâ€" during bitterness." The editorial goes aon to show that the charges â€"of David Lloyd George are too grave and, if true, too heavy with tragic significance to go unquestioned. As an eyewitness Mr. Lyon has done the questioning and continuing the editorial says:â€" Last week this column had an article on the change of method of members of the Leg:ion addressing one another. After The Advance appeared several have ruched in with other suggestions. It was as your correspondent stated, "starting something." One comrade said:â€"*‘Imagine Austin saying, "Genâ€" tlemen be seated.‘" It would sound like a minstrel show." Another, said:â€"*‘To use the word ‘"Veteran‘" would make us all feel like Chelsea pensioners or the Boys of the Old Brigade." Then a good old patriotic "Scotty," appeared very much put out in fact very much peeved, because his country‘s method of greetâ€" ing had been left out. This was done for a purpose, friend Scotty. Every correspondent likes continued stories, and this one seems to have many more weeks, so no apologies necessary. Knowâ€" there were many from other parts of the British Isles, it was not my intenâ€" tion to hurt anyone by putting the secretary to the trouble of writing to ‘‘"Mac‘" Jones, Smith or Brown, because if he did that, then all the McTavishs, McVeys and other Macs would just simply want "Taffy" placed in front. But of course this would not end the tr3uble. We have the Irish to think of! They would be "raring to go" if they got a a postcard from the secreâ€" tary addresseq "Mac‘" O‘Brien, "Mac" Flagherty, or "Mac" Sweeney. So now, I‘ve started this it is my hope that someone next week will give me a soluâ€" tion and for your enlightenment the suggestions are again listed:â€""Gentleâ€" man, Buddy, Matey, Pal, Friend,, Chumâ€" . "The Passchendaele offensive, was atâ€" cording to these witnesses and facts, no martial adventure embared, on by a pigâ€"headed. General lusting for milliâ€" tary glory. It was a desperate expeâ€" dient. .employed to stave off disaster h a desperate case. Not even during the German push of 1918 was the allied cause so near ruin as during the closâ€" ing months of 1917. Passchendaele was fought after the Russian revolution had come and while the revolutionary Govâ€" ernment of Russia was negotiating the peace that was to release all Germany‘s Eastern armies against the Western Front. When it was found a French offensive under Neville hag failed disâ€" astrously, and as a result of the failure defeatism was rife among the French people and the armies of France, mutiâ€" nous and distrustful of their commandâ€" ers, were in no condition to make or to withstand attacks. In Italy at the time a triumphant Austrian advance was driving the Italians before it toward the Piave and Veniene. In Syria and Armeâ€" nia the Turk was having things his own way. United States forces were still three thonsand miles and half a year from belligerent usefulness. And the war leaders of the Allies, torn by fears, indecision and mutal distrust, were reduced to impotence. Even the , at present, omniscient Mr. Lloyd George did not then know what to do or where to move, as contemporary records among them Sir Henry Wilson‘s diaries, show plainly. Yet, if the allied cause were to be saved from collapse and the allied armies from speedy and pieceâ€" meal defeat, something had to be done in the autumn of 1917. In Northern France and Flanders Sir Douglas Haig commanded the one force capable of doing anything. The thing that had to be done was done at Passchendaele. How bitter and heavy the cost, Cansada well knows. But Canadians will be wise to weigh all the evidence before accepting the verdict brought by Mr. Llyod George. Only in so far As all war is wanton waste was the Passchenâ€" daele offensive "wanton waste." It is all very well for prominent men to have all the above to say, but what is really needed to "clear up for Canaâ€" d:ans a possible cause of deep and enâ€" during bitterness," is for the Dominion Government to rush the official war records of the Canadian Corps during 1914â€"1918 into the printers hands and publish this work at the earliest moâ€" ment and in so doing much comment will be stopped by those who have in the past had a very.good innings.

' The Christmas Stagette The big event after the Turkey Stag this year is the Legion Christmas Stagâ€" ette. This is to be held in the Oddfelâ€" tows‘ hall on Saturday, December 15th. It is unique in its appeal, because it gives the ladies a chance to take home the Christmas dinner. Last year it was a very interesting thing to witness the "darling of the culinary art‘" playâ€" ing the great game of "Bingo" in the hopes that they would see their winâ€" nigs sizzling in the roasting pan. .Of course the "supplier of the cash" was on hand and he went his merry way, trying his luck‘at other games to help the Christmas fare. This year we unâ€" derstand a special grade of milkâ€"fed poultry has been secured, so it‘s up to you to try and take home some. Don‘t forget Saturday.

A gentleman passing was struck by the sign and thought he might have some fun. He called at the house and startâ€" ed to make enquires as to the "lover that was "to let." The lady answered him first in French and then in Engâ€" lish saying, that if he wanted to rent a room he could do so, butâ€"otherwise she did not understand what he was trying to say about the sign. The gentleman eventually asked a Frenchâ€"speaking friend what the sign meant. The friend took the sign and changed the letter "V" to "U". The sign then read "A Louer" which is good French for "To Let," while the "To Let" below was good English.
