At an annual meeting of the Assoâ€" ciatedâ€" Boards of Trade, which wiil probably be held in New Liskeard sometime during October, the quesâ€" tion of a solid baycott will be thorâ€" cughly discussed. The mines will be approached and asked to transfer their buying from Ontario to Quebec or Manitoba firms; merchants will be asked through the boards of trade in each town to do the same thing. Prices will be no different; delivery will be just about as rapid ; the only people who will suffer are those in the South who are dependent on the North for orders. That inâ€" cludes a good many thousand now, and the number grows with each passing week. Secession of the North from the Ssouth is not desirable, Mr. Langdon said.

The following is a letter received here last week: NEW LISKEARD BOARD OF TRADE New Liskeard, Ontario Sept. 30th, 1936. Mr. W. O. Langdon, President Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, Timmins, Ontaric. Dear Mr. Langdon: At a recent meeting of this Board, much discussion was centred around our common enemy, "Bad Roads," and their relation to the development of the North. is it possible to get the tailings and | that work will be discontinued soon. No Reâ€"organization Pending In regard to the reâ€"organization | rumour, Mr. Hyman said there is abâ€" | solutely nothing to it. "We never had so much ore broken in the stopes as i toâ€"day and it is of a better grade than we‘ve been milling even for the past \ five or six months." September reâ€" covery was $11,000, of an average slightâ€" ly over $7.00 a ton. "We‘re spending more money on developing the proâ€" perty than at any other time in its ‘history," he continued. "Diamond drillâ€" |\ ing, begun. four months ago, is conâ€" | tinuing. A crosscut on the 800â€"foot is on the way east to the Hollinger line. | All the work so far has been done on | 20 acres of our six claims. We have Edeveloped or explored less than eight ‘per cent. of our property. On this trip ;I have made arrangements for a crossâ€" | cut on the 500â€"foot level under Gillies | lake for a distance of at least 2,000 feet ! That will take up to the centre of the property for the first time, and wil‘ strike toward a spot at which diamond \ drills have encountered ore." ' Seventyâ€"five men are at wor‘k steadily ! at the property, Mr. Hyman said. Discussion emphasized the futility of our appeals and complaints itc the Government and stressed the necesâ€" sity of some other approach to the problem. It was pointed out that, since most of the merchandise conâ€" sumed in the North comes from the firms in Southern Ontario, some form of collective action should be entered into which would threaten the disâ€" continuance of these trade relations unless they use their influence in supâ€" port of our programme. Some of our local firms, acting inâ€" dividually, have completely stopped all orders with longâ€"established .sources of supply until these suppliers showed evidence of conscientious coâ€"Ooperation in our roads improvement programme. In each instance of individual boycott some very good results have been obâ€" tained. I take this opportunity of conveying to you the compliments of this Board for your services in connection with the Transâ€"Canada and Ferguson highâ€" ways in the past. you will keep up the good work. Yours sincerely, New Liskeard Board of Trade. Earl E. Bartlett, Gillies Porcupine Making Progress ew equipment several months ago, we started to run these tailings. The average value from this source alone in August was $7.25 a ton. In Septemâ€" ber the average value from the dum»s was $6.00 a ton."

Mr. Massie, who has over a quarter of a century in the North, beâ€" ing connected all that time with the firm of W. R. Lowery, wholesale conâ€" fectionery and tobacco firm. Mr. Massie came here in 1919 as manager of the Lowery business here, and in business and other circles proved a valued addition to the town. He servâ€" e@ as town ccouncillor and in other capacities gave valuable service to the community. He decided recently to reâ€" tire from active and he and Mrs. Massie have taken up residence in Toronto. Mr. Massie still retains a number of interests in town and disâ€" trict, among these being the Massie block at the corner of Pine and Third.

Another Reduction By Canada Northern Out of town guests were: Mrs. Mary Bond, New Liskeard; Mrs. Annabelle Blake and son Garry of Qttawa; Mr. Cameron MacMillan, of Detroit, Mich. Announce Reduction to Minâ€" ing Companies in Power Rates. Carada Northern Power Corporation last week announced a reduction in power rates to mines in Northern Onâ€" tario, amounting to $2 per horsepower for all power used in mining operaâ€" tions up to 5000 horsepower. The reduction indicates that mines using power supplied by these comâ€" panies will benefit moderately by a decrease in their operating costs, which in turn should result in inâ€" creased operating revenues. The anâ€" nual saving to the mines using less than 8000 horsepower will be approxiâ€" mately $150,000. The present reduction consists of a straight decrease of $2 per horsepower per year for all power used in mining operations up to 5000 horsepower, with a gradual reducing decrease up to 8000 horsepower. This will make a substanâ€" tial saving to the mines, amounting to $10,000 per year in the case of mine using 5000 horsepower. The revised\ Several Cuts Made During the past six years the comâ€" pany has consistently made successive reductions in its rates amounting with this one to $461,000 per year. J. D. MacLean President of Scout Association Enthusiastic Meeting of Scouts Last Week. Apple Day This Year to be October 17th. Second Year for Sscout Association a Very Successful One. Summary of Actiâ€" vities of Association. Scouting in Timmins looks forward now to another "big" year. The annual meeting of the Local Association, held at the town hall on Thursday night last week, was a well attendsd event at which there was an obvious enâ€" thusiasm on the part of those who govern Scouting in Timmins. They feel sure that during the coming year not only will there be more Scouts in Timmins but there will also be broader programmes in each troop. J. D. MacLkean is the new president of the association. He has been interâ€" ested in the movement for many years now and was a member of the execuâ€" tive last year. Other officers are: Honorary preâ€" sident, John Knox; honorary viceâ€" president, Geo. Lake:; viceâ€"president, A. F. Lawry:; treasurer, A. W. Pickerâ€" ing; secretary, F. W. Simpson; assisâ€" tant secretary, E. B. Rowe. Chairman of each group committee are members of the executive; as well as three Scouters from the Scouter‘s Club. Apple Day October 17th Apple day was dsfinitely set for Saturday, October 17th. A discussion of the methods of exeâ€" cutive committees and subâ€"committees in encouraging Scouting was led by A. E. Paddon of provincial Scout headâ€" quarters in Toronto. Motions of thanks were passed to the Kiwanis Club for financial aid to the Scout camp at Nellie Lake this summer; and to Geo. Lake, the retirâ€" ing president of the «association, who was one Oof the leaders in the recent expansion of Scout activitiee here. Scouter Ab Wright expressed the thanks of the group to Mr. Lake. ‘The report of E. B, Rowe, acting secretary, was read and accepted. It was as follows: "Your association has. just completâ€" ed its second year of Scouting activiâ€" ties. Though the increase in memberâ€" ship this year has not been specâ€" tacular as last year, considerable gains have been made. "There are the eight Scout troops in existence, namely: Townsite, St. Matthew‘s, Nativity, St. Charles, St. Officers Elected School Federation Secondary School Teachers Name Officers for Year. Royal Montreal Regt. to Erect Memorial Officers of the Northern Ontario branch of the Ontario Secondary Schools Federation, elected at a busiâ€" ness meeting held in the Masonic hall on Saturday evening are: past presiâ€" dent, Miss P. Morgan, North Bay; president, F. A. D. Arderson, Cobalt; viceâ€"president, A. A. Rose, Timmins; secretaryâ€"treasurer, Miss McArthur, New Liskeard; councillors, W. S. Blake, Schumacher; Mr. Berlanquet, Sudbury; publicity representative, F. R. Simpâ€" son, North Bay; continuution school representative, F. W. Hardie, Coniston; delegates to the Ontario meeting, B. E. Murdoch, Cochrane; Miss M. Walton, North Bay; W. A. Shearer, Sault Ste. Marie; John Fawcett, Timmins. Many of the visiting teachers were at the McIntyre yesterday and saw the surface and underground operations. An account of the dinner meeting of the Federation appears elsewhere in this issue. Committee Anxious to Loâ€" cate exâ€"Members of Regt. any in Timmins? The tablet will be of bronze and will have a receptacle in its base for a Book of Memory in which will be inâ€" scribed on parchment the names of all those to whom the tablet is dedicated Embodied in the design will be the crests of the l4th Battalion, the Royal Montreal Regiment, the 23rd Reserve Battalion and the 58th Westmount Rifles, A committee or past commanding officers, and others of the Royal Monâ€" treal Regiment, have undertaken the erection of a memorial tablet to the officers and men of the regiment who gave their lives in its service during the Great War. The tablet will be erected within the regiment‘s armoury, which was also erected and dedicated as a memorial to those who made the supreme sacriâ€" fice. The unveiling of the memorial tablet will take place on SBunday, Noâ€" vember 8th, this year, following a reâ€" union of the regiment. on November "Ith. y Are there any former members of the Royal Montreal Regiment in Timâ€" mins or district? It is a foregone conâ€" clusicn that there are some, and equally probable that some here know of others in other parts of the Doâ€" minion. At the present moment a comâ€" mittee of the old regiment is very anxious to locate all members of the regiment. In order that exâ€"members of the Royal Montreal Regiment, now scatâ€" tered throughout Canada, may have an opportunity to participate in the erection of the memorial to their fallen comrades, a subscription list is now open. Contributions should be sent to the Honorary Treasurer, Capt W. A. Fowler, P.O. Box 352, Station B Montreal. Anthony‘s, Moneta, Mattagami and Central. Besides the Cub packs formed in Townsite, St. Matthew‘s and Matâ€" tagami groups, you have added a pack in the Nativity group. All the above groups are fully registered with Doâ€" minion headquarters as against three the previous year. The Cubs populaâ€" tion totals approximately 100 boys:; the Scouts 190; and the leaders 25. Summary of Activities "The activities for the year might be summarized as follows: "1. Participation in Remembrance Day observation at the Csnotaph. "2. Conducting of Cubs lseaders‘ training classes under direction of E. B. Rowe. "3. Participation in the Ontario Boy Scout Jambore Porcupine. "4. Several district meots Of Scouts at Whelpdale rocks. "5. Conducting of joint camp at Beach‘s Beach. About 70 boys were present under the guidance of Scouter Ab. Wright. "Again in this instance, the number of new activities has not ircecreased but those already instituted have been continued. "Though your association has been formed for some time, it will be neâ€" cessary now to see that the efforts of your executive and group commitâ€" tees are applied in the right channels for the benefit of each unit. It might be effective to divide both your execuâ€" tive committee and your group comâ€" mittees into subâ€"committees, each dealing with a specific duty. This would obviously ease the load on any one man and facilitate discussion of problems between the Scouter and his committse as well as between the group and executive committSes. Guarding Interests of Secondary Schools (Continued from Page One) W. Tanner welcomed thoss from out of town and told them that they were to feel free to visit either the Timmins school or "one of the finest school building in Ontario‘"â€"the Schumacher High School. McIntyre Mines had also invited the teachers to view the surface workings at 10 o‘clock the next morning. "No little credit is due to aii those scouters, executive and group comâ€" mittees who have conducted the acâ€" tivitiscs of your association for the year. Their work has been admirable and much appreciated. "All of which I respectfully submit this 1st day of October, 1936." E. B, ROwWws, Pleasant Musical Programme The Timmins High and Vocational School orchestra, conducted by W. A. Fisher played dinner music during the evening and played it very pleasingly. Mr. Henry complimented them on their choice of classics and semiâ€"classics in preference to the popular dance music. After dinner Miss Betsy Dodge sang two solos: "Banks and Braes of Bonâ€" nie Doon," and ‘"Drink to Me Only wWith Thine Eyes." She is a second form student and is just as good academically as she is as a singer, Mr. Tanner saidâ€" at the top of her class. â€" Bill Gilbert, of Schumacher High School showed what a fine class of musical talent there is in that school when he sang two baritone solos: "Sylvia," and "Bells of the Sea." A trumpet solo by Joe Slabodian was a third heartily applauded musical numâ€" ber. The selection was "The Lost Chord.." Orchestra accompaniment in this was particularly good. Place cards at the dinner table had been made by high school students, Mr, Tanner said. Scene, in pen drawings were of mils, mine shafts, porcupines and various other things connected with the district. M. B. Scott represented the high school board at the meeting and welâ€" comed the visitors to Timmins. The local board, he said, tried to be as fTair as possible to the teachers, without havyâ€" ing too many of "those beastly taxes." He cautioned them about being over enthusiastic, and quoted from one of his own poems ‘on that subject. Those at the head table were: Miss Morgan, of North Bay, president of District 12 of the Federation; Miss Mcâ€" Kiever, of Sudbury, the secretary; Mr. Henry; Mr. Tanner; Mr. Scott; Mr. Marwick, of Cochrane; Mr. Anderson, of Cobalt, viceâ€"president of the district organization. After the banqguet a business meeting was held and officers for the year were elected. A. E. Paddon, of provincial Boy Scout headquarters a, Toronto, left this mornâ€" ing to return to the South after having spent a week with local Scouts and Scout leaders.
