We don't ask that. nor do we even ask a gravel road to our shaft. All we asked this Ontario government to do was fill the potholes and ruts in the road that goes to the edge of our property. “Well. what happened? I got in touch with some of the local party officials. They said I'd have to see Mr. McQues- ten in Tomnto. He said I'd have to see Mr. Leduc.

We nearly drove his head through the roof of the car. He asked me: '15 this a gov- ernment road?‘ I said 'Yaz.‘ ‘How many men do you employ out here?’ 'A hun- dred and twenty men travel over this road every day to set to work. And there are 50 men In the bush. too. that have to travel lt.‘ Well. he just couldn‘t seem to understand that. “I thought politics in the States were bad enough but they aren't a patch on the situation that exists here." a prom- inent mining man from United States told The Advance in an interview last The Child’s Health conference will be held in the basement of the public school at Schumacher on Friday- after- noon. October 30th. from 3 to 5 pm. All mothers and their babies are invit- ed to attend. A letter from Captain Innes. who was to have addressed the club on “Poppy Day.“ said that ‘he had been forced to abandon his Northern tour because of illness and had returned to Toronto. William Wren congratulated the council on the good judgment they had shown in voting $500 to the Lions Club to aid them in carrying on the pre- liminary work of the 1937 celebration of Timmins‘ 25th anniversary. Mr. Wren sketched briefly the plans al- ready made for the four-day affair and said the funds raised would be devotedto the building of a com- munity centre here. Guests of honour at the Thursday meeting were Major J. P. Bartleman and Councillors P. H. Laporte. Dr. E. A. F. Day. L. H. Cousins, William Mc- Dermott and J. E. Brunette.

Old Round "We've spent 3300.000 on that pro- perty recently. I can show you the auditor's statement for that. Now I won‘t say all that three hundred thou- sand has been spent right in Timmins. for we‘ve had to buy some expensive machinery from Ingersoll-Rand and some other places in the South. But the bulk of that money was spent right in Timmins. Hardware. powder. building materials. groceries and labour all take a lot of money. Most of our orders go through local firms. And you ought to hear What they have to say when they have to deliver truckload after truck- load of stuff over that road!" The bit of government ruts referred to by the gentleman from across the line is the extension of Pine street that goes out past the cemetery toward the Naybob mine and others down that way. It is the only route in the township of Og- den that is dignified by the name of "road." on whic For years now me mining company which he represents has been contrib- uting to the taxes raised in Canada through sales tax and a large number of other items.

One of the results of the story was tohr'ing a flood of applicatiOns from telephone operators in Toronto. They wanted jobs. said they. and it wouldn’t take two years to train them. “They must have thought that Timmins girls were pretty dumb." continued Mr. Thompson. “As a matter of fact the girls we train here only take a couple of weeks to pick up the work and do the job really efficiently." The company appreciated the fact that the service in Timmins had not been what it should. But most of the faults have been corrected now and the people of the Porcupine may expect the best. of service from now on. the superintendent promised. More Marriages in Noranda Noranda is a far bigger worry to the company from that aspect than Tim- mins. for ”six of them get married there for every one that gets married here." said Mr. Thompson. "A couple of operators getting married shouldn't make any big difference. Spares are being trained all the time.” M "A girl that can‘t be trained in six weeks at the outside for our switch- boards is no good to us." said Fred Thompson. of New Liskeard. superin- tendent of the Northern Telephone Company, in denying a statement made last week at a Timmins council meet- ing to the effect that. it took two years to train telephone operators. The story. published in The Advance. and c0pied into many out-ofâ€"town newspapers, gave the reason for the telephone service being poor as the fact that so many telephone operators had been married recently. That was the statement made at a recent meet- ing of the council after a resolution criticising the service had been sent to the head office of the company in New Liskeard.
