in‘ "During the winters Mn Barr has made a practice of rising at 2.30 a.m. to haul cordwood to Timmins, some of his trips being made at 63 below zero. The farm has the nucleus of a dairy herd, a team of young horses and chickens. This spring, when he volunrteered to get one of the district‘s "roads" in a good condition for a doctor to @five in to ste a woman who was seriously ill at a nsarby settler‘s home, a big rock dropped on Mr. Barr‘s ankle, breaking the borie. He was brought to Timmins "After five years Mr. Barr believes he is getting "back on his feet" and deâ€" clares he feels like a twoâ€"yearâ€"old. ‘"Last summer Mr. Barr marketed 1,200 quarts of strawserries in Timâ€" mins and the lowest price he recsived was 25¢ a quart.‘" "In 1931 he made a small payment on a 160â€"acre farm, 4% miles west of Timâ€" mins. Only two acres were cleared at the time, he said, and toâ€"day Mr. Barr has 55 completely cleared of bush and cropped and the 100 acres is practically cleared. The debt has been paid gnd Mr. Barr has purchased an additional 164 acres. "At the age of 67 Mr. Barr found his moderate fortune had een wiped out by the stock market crash of 1929, h* told the Ontario Conservative leader. He determined to start again ard havâ€" ing been born a farmer, came to the Timmins area. "Timmins, Nov. 2.â€"A tale of rare courage and determination was revealâ€" ed to Hon. Earl Rowe during his weekâ€" end stay here when he reâ€"arranged his itinerary to visit the log cabin farm home of 72â€"yearâ€"old D. C. Barr, former warden of Simcoe county and twice mayor of Collingwood.

A new design of regal beauty in a thest of regal splendour. Wrought to a loveâ€" liness like that of handâ€"made silver, "Coronation" breathes simple dignity and good taste. A masterpizceâ€"worthy, indeed, to bear the name "Community Plate" â€"and to commemorate our Empire‘s greatest national event. Phone 940 or 776J Mrs. Shephard orist . The Rev. W. R. Sproule was in charge of the service, and she was interred in Mount Pleasant cemetery. The late Mrs. Robeort Sinclair, whose maiden name was Frances Firth, was the daughter of Strgt. Joseph Firth, of Leeds, Yorkshire, England. Her mother was Frances Pearce, of Fermanagh, Ireland. She married Robort Sinclair ard lived in Toronto befors coming to Timmins a few years ago. In addition to Horace Sinclair, her son, of Vanâ€" couver, and her two daughters, Mrs. McTagzard and Miss Betty Sinclair, she leaves six grandchildren: Harold and Robert Garner, ITone, Ernest and Robert Sinclair cof Vancouver, and the greatâ€"grandckild, Harold Garner, of Timmins. The funeral of Mrs. Frances Sinclair, who died in the Tisdale hospital here on Sunday, October 25th, and whose prelimirary Obsequies were held from St. Paul‘s Anglican Church here with Archdeacon Woodall officiating, was conducted from the Church of the Meéssiah, Toronto, on Wednesday last. In Toronto the pallsearers were Messts. Reg. Elliott, Frank Simpson, ROobert Wooley, Harold Garner and Bert Nicholls. A large attendance of her old friends and neighbours were present at her Tcronto funeral and a large number of floral tributes were sent from Timâ€" mins, South Porcupine and Toronto. Even at 72. Mr. Barr is reputed to be able to outwalk most other men in the country, winter or summer. A feow years ago when Collingwood‘s 65â€"yearâ€" old Man of Nature, Alf Staples, was challenging other men on the continâ€" ent to equal the feats of endurance h2 was performing in the cold around the Blue Mountains, friends of Mr. Barr‘s here were urging hiimn to go back home for a wesekâ€"erd to show. the cther Colâ€" lingwood man what real endurance is. South Porcupine, Ont.., Nov. 5th, 1936 Special to The Advance. Pallbearers from South Porcupine were: Messrs S. G. Fowler, R. McTagâ€" gard, T. Neil, C. P. Walker and R. Grzy. Mrs. Robert Sinclair Buried at Toronto Former Esteemed Resident of Timmins Died at South Poreupine Hospital hospital where he lay in zed a few weeks, and was able to return‘ within a short time to his farm. During his absence his brother kept things going and together they were able to market the unusually good strawberry crop referred to in The Advance previously. His potato crop attracted buy*rs at the Timmins farmers market so quickly that he had little trouble in disposir» of them. Phone 190 Mr. Waters in a brief but witty and effective address referred to Hon. Mtr. Rowe, whom he had known for years, as a public man of cutstanding ability and courage who was seriously interestâ€" ed in all the problems that affect the North and who might safely be <nâ€" trusted with the work of guiding the progress and development cof this counâ€" try. He spoke of Hon. Mr. Rowe‘s valâ€" ua)le experience in public lif?. He had been 12 years in the Federal House and had never lost an election. Mr. Waters felt that this might also be said when the provincial election comes along. Hon. Mr. Rowe was greeted with loud and continued applause when he rose to respond. He opened his address by referring to his impressions of Timâ€" mins ard district after four days here. He said he felt inspired by the welcome at the banauet just as he had been inâ€" spired by the growth and promise of the North. One difference from the South was that this seemed a young man‘s country. He urged the young men to take up the work of making Ontario greater still that had been commenced by the pionreers. "You have hills of treasure here," he said, "and you have valleys fertile in between.‘" In Old Onâ€" tario the wealth of the country was said to come from the first six inches of the land; herd it came also from the first 3000 feet. He had faith in the North and a vision of its great future. Hs believed what was needed to reach the real objective might be summed up as the "four C‘s"â€"Capital, Confidence, Courage ard Coâ€"operation. He indicatâ€" ed where each of these "four C‘s" was specially necessary. He felt that more coâ€"cperation between North and South was essential to rsal success for the North. "Together we stand, together we fall.‘" He referred to the pride that all felt in the stability and entsrprise of Ontario. He doubted if it took the courage and stamina toâ€"day that it tock in the days of the old pioneers of Ontaric. "Sometimes," he suggested, "I worder if we are not Ssecoming a little soft." We in Ontario, he said, have a great heritage, but should not forget that the only road to success is through toil and struggle. In one bright aside he suggested that the chairman was. so careful of his politics, that he some times wondered if he were Grit or Tory. Referring to the talk of secession and the propased boycott of the South by the North, he said he recognized that the people of the North had real grievâ€" ances. He hoped, however, for a better understanding bstween North and South for the mutual benefit of all. He said he knew something of the settlers‘ problems. He knew something of the miners‘ problems. One of the latter‘s worries he mentioned as being the fear that he was risking his life more in his car on the road home than he had unâ€" dergrourd at the mine. If the South only understood the possibilities of the North he believed development would scon be speedcd up. Within a fiveâ€"mile radius of where he stood enough wealth had been uncovered to pay a third of the debt of Ontario, and the surface has hardly betn scratched as yet, he added. He had a great vision of the future of the North. He hoped that deâ€" spite the erratic course of events in cther nations and psoples, Ontario would keep her head, and march steadâ€" ily along true British lires, keeping fresdom and honour and integrity, and showing the world that Ontario is not Gankrupt, but entering on its greatest period of progress and contertment. Dr. McClinton welcomed the unusuâ€" ally large gathering ard took it as anâ€" cther indication of the rising tide of public opinion that he belisved would swesep Hon. Earl Rowe into power in the province. Dr. McClinton called on A. V. Waters, of Cochran:, a man whom he had known for many years as a fighter for the North, asking him to introduce the guest of the evening, Hon. Earl Rowe. After a barquet up to the usual high standards of the Empire hotel, and with the best of service for the full course dinner, and after music by Daâ€" vid Gordon, violinist, and Herman Walâ€" t°r, pilanist, had been much enjoyed, the programme for the evening was cpened by Dr. McClinton. Young men bearing amusing political banners made a rappy interruption to the opening part of the evening. Hon. Earl Rowe Pleases Big Crowd at Banquet Dr. J. B. McClinton, preésident of the South Cochrane Conservative Associaâ€" tion, and also of the Tinmins Cons®râ€" vative Association, presided at the event and carried the occasion through with promptness and azility. Among those at the head table were:â€"Dr. Mcâ€" Clinton; Hon.: Earl Rowe; Howard Hill, Iroquois Falls; Mayor J. P. Bartleman; A. C. White, Hoyle; Charles Pierceo; Archdeacon Woodall; John Knox; A. H. Cooke; Bert Sutherland; R. Thomâ€" son; G. A. Macdonald; Dr. Minthorne; Dr. Moore; A. V. Waters, of Cochrans; E. â€"G. Dickson, Dan W. Cameron. Rev. Bruce Millar; J. T. Jackson, secâ€" retary of the South Cochrane and Timâ€" mins Association, and others. When the rounds of applause had subsided, J. T. Jackson, secretary of The attendance at the banquet teonâ€" der:d Hon. Earl Rowe at the Empire khcotel on Monday night was probably the largest at any similar event held in the hotel since its opening. Every seat was taken and despite the addiâ€" tional accommodaticn provided several were unable to secure seats at the tables. The large attendance was takon as an indication of the interest attractâ€" ed by Hon. Earl Row* in his tour of the North and the swing back to Conserâ€" vative policies for the development of the North. Main Dining Hall of Empire Hotel Crowded for Event on Monday Night. One of the Largest Banquets Held Here. Interesting Addresses. Pleasing Music. Attractive Menu and Service (Sudbury Star) Officials of the provincial publicity bureau have donre good work during the last two years in making known to outâ€" siders the natural beauty of Northern Ontario and the facilities offered for camping, fishing, hunting and sightâ€" seging. But the government, intent on pressnting a balanced budget to the electors, has been woefully remiss and has neglected giving attention to the very factors that will make for greater encouragsment of the tourist trade. In fact, with the conditior of the highâ€" way between North Bay and Sault Ste. Marie, it is somewhat remarkable that there has been an increase of visitors to the Northland. Such a development was not likely had it not been that the attractions of the territory more than compensated for the disadvantages and discomforts that had to be met in enâ€" tering the North. W. A. Gordon, formerly Dominâ€" ion Minister of Mines, who had been one of Hon. Mr. Rowe‘s party on the tour of the North, was called home on Monday and so was unable to be preâ€" sent at the banquet or the puslic meetâ€" ing. A full report of the public meetâ€" ing will be found on page 1 of the secâ€" ond section of this issue. The meeting closed with rousing cheers and a tiger for Hon. Earl Rowe. The Porcupins District Pipe Band was at the hotel to escort the speakers and cthers to the Empire theatre where a large crowd had gathered for a public mseting to hear Hon. Mr. Rowe, A. V. Waters and others speaking on ‘the topâ€" ics of the day. Hon. T. B. McQuesttn, minister of highways, during a recent visit to the Ncrthland, made a definite statement that a start would be made next year on the construction of a paved highway from North Bay to the Sault. This move, after all, is the crux of the whole situation. Upon it depends much of the future success. Unless some real attempt is made in this direction it is going to be difficult to increase or even maintain the rate of tourist influx into Ncrthern Ontario. Boards of Trade, Ccther organizations and individuals may go the limit in providing accommodaâ€" tion for visitors, but unless the thorâ€" cughfares ars made safer and more pleasurable for motorists, the North cannot expect to hold the intsrest of the thousands of tourists who have cshown inclination to come. There must be concentration on maintaining a conâ€" tinuity of the tourist tradeâ€"those who come this year must be sufficiently plsased so that they will be impelled to return next year, and others with them. In respording, Hon. Mr. Rowe said he could not commerd thes idea too strongly and he would fsel honoured to act as honorary president of such an asscociation. It was a good thing for the young men of the country to take an intelligent interest in the affairs of the country and to be ready intelligently and ably to carry on the duties of citiâ€" zenship. He suggested that the Junior Conservative Association should inâ€" clude the young ladies, the latter havyâ€" ing votes and their influence being so great on the men. He also urged the propos@d Junior Association to keep its meetings attractive, but also high class in the right sense of the term. Dr. McClinton, before bringing the meeting to a close, took occasion to reâ€" fute an opinion held by some that there was something disgraceful about poliâ€" tics. He pointed out that it was the duty as well as the privilege of every citizen to take an intelligent and ksen interest in governmert and by no other plan could democracy hope to flourish. Tourist Trade Should be of Much Benefit to North One of the impressions gained by Hon. Earl Rowe on his visit to the North was that the tourist trade is not being encouraged. The situation was quickly discsrned. Statistics on this year‘s business adequately stress the importance of permanent highway conâ€" structicn, if Northern Ontario wants to retain this tourist trade. This proâ€" vince cannot afford to continue the nigâ€" gardly policy followed during the last two ysars by the Hepburn government. The North has what is known as "the goods." Tourists from all over Canâ€" ada and the United States want to see them. This country should be up and doing, with the one definite object of holding the advantage gainsd and inâ€" creasing it, and the government in powâ€" er, whoever it may be, must be made to see the advisability of spending a dollar to get back two. the town and riding associations, forâ€" mally a petition to Hon. Mr: Rowe asking for authority to form a Northern Ontario Young Conservative Association, with him as honorary preâ€" sident. The petition was signed by acâ€" tive young Conservatives in this part of the North.

The defendant who was new to the road collided with another car that had the rightâ€"ofâ€"way on the narrow bridge. "Why weren‘t you here last week?" said the magistrate. "I no drink," said the young man. "He means, he didn‘t thinkâ€"he forâ€" got," said a policeman. ‘"Well," said his worship, "you were drunk on Sunday?" "No," said the youth with a beamâ€" ing smile, "not Sundayâ€"Saturday." He paid the fine, "I did not see the bridge till too near to stop," said the defendant. "The snow was falling and it was dark. There is a quick turn there." The magistrate said he did not see how he could have missed the signs and the railing, and gave his decision.

He accused the other driver of having lights "as bright as the headâ€" light on a locomotive,‘"‘ but the magisâ€" trate‘s verdict was $50 and costs. "According to this man everybody is a liar but him," said his worship. "The public must be protected." His evidence was to the effect that five blocks from his home in the early morning of Monday, Oct. 20th, the acâ€" cused hit him in the eye (4 stitches were necéssary to close the wound), knocked him to the ground and beat him with his two hands. He krelt on him and choked him twice. Moreover he threaten‘d to take him to the bush and kill him.
