Kiiazston Whigâ€"Standard:â€"Centenâ€" ary anniversaries and anniversaries of more than a century are becoming more and more numerous among churches and other institutions of the district surrounding Kuingston, both east; north and west. This part of Canâ€" ada is no longer merely relatively oldet than other parts, but has arrived at a stage of actual age. Honoured at Bangquet (Continued from Page One) along the righ:i way$. Speaking of his own inexperiencte as a boyâ€"an experiâ€" ence duplicated by that of a great many boysâ€"he referred to the reading of adâ€" venture and detective stories and so on. He had noi known what he was really missing in the way of pleasure in readâ€" ing. His mother showed him a much beiter line of readingâ€"better in every vayâ€"even more interesting for the boy. "Introduce your boys to Charles Dickâ€" ens and authors like him," Rev. Mr. Millar advised, "and in the years to come your children will remember your wisdom with gratitude and affection, for out of such books they will get so much more of interest, as well as inâ€" spiration." In his closing words Mr. Millar‘s deep feeling and sincerity were so evident that the whole audiente was greatly touched. So marked was his own eéemotion that his voice began to falter but he recscvered and concluded with an appeal that made the deepest imâ€" pression on all. As he sat down Again, there was a moment or two of silence and then the crowd of fathers and sons broke into round after round Oof apâ€" vlause. Doesn‘t Think Much of Canada‘s Ways in Radio Mr. Moisley, who had to clear his throat several times, then called on Master Herb Hatton, member for this riding in the Ontario Boys‘ Parliament to present Rev. Mr. Millar with a little token of appreciation from the boys. Mr. Millar arose again, and displayed a gold watch chain with a pocket knife, and said he would wear it as long as he could, and if anything happened that he could wear it no longer, he would keep it in a place where he could alâ€" ways remember the boys. There was also a photo Mr. Moisley had given him of the hockey team, and he would like every member of the team to autoâ€" graph it on the back so that he would have special personal remembrance of each one of them. Herb Hatton stated that he was not a speech maker, but he ably touched on the work of the Tuxis and Trail Ranâ€" gers, and asked Mr. Millar to accept the gift and to open the gold package before the gathering. The gathering broke up after the singing of "O Canada." W. H. Wilson accompanied at the piano for the singing. The following is an editorial from The Northern Tribune, of Kapuskasing: ‘"How was your radio on May 12th? Were you able to get good reception of the coronation proceedings from some American stations? The Canadian stations were poor, leading. us once more to wonder why the C.B.C. has the collossal gall to charge a $2.00 anâ€" nual license fee for something we don‘t get up North. "We tried the Canadian log severa‘ times, but it did not compare with the stations across the line, which were hocked up specially for the occasion. However, we caught one part from Toâ€" ronto just where a band was concludâ€" ing with "God Save the King;" and this was immediately followed by a blast somebody‘s bellyâ€"ache tabâ€" lets! For goodness sake, have we got to put up with that kind of alleged supervision from the Canadian Radio Corporation, and like it, on Coronation Day of all times? "It is proposed to increase the power| of a few Toronto and Montreal staâ€"| tions so that the North can have bet-l ter reception. We still maintain that| the C.B.C. is putting the cart before the horse in paying so much attention to programs liberally interlarded with| uiterly tiresome advertising blah, inâ€"| stead of building across Canada a chain of powerful broadcast stations that will let people hear the best tha.tl is on the air from this continent and abroad. They are chary about its cost and they stall and gdodge over it, deferâ€" ring to commercial interests. We imaâ€" gine the whole chain of stations would. cost less than one naval unit, yet such a radio chain would be immensely more serviceable to the cause of imperia) unity and world peace than the whole rz‘esent or prospective Canadian navy There is no blinking the fact that radio plays vital part in avoiding wars as well as in prosecuting them. Call it prepaganda if you willâ€"even when it is altruistic and wholly peaceful in inâ€" tent. Just listen to Berlin and Rome station broadcasts in English some time of you doubt the value put upon radio propaganda by the Naziâ€"Fascists To counter such biased material as that, the British Empire ought to have Kapuskasing Board of Trade Banquet Jos. A. Bradette, M.P., One of the Chief Speakers. M.P., Mr. J. A. Habel, M.L.A., and wife, Supt. Atkinson of Cochrane and daughâ€" ter, Rev. Father Chabot, President Davis and executives of the Board of Trade and their ladies, Mrs. Noble. nembers of the town council, and memâ€" bers of the coronation celebration comâ€" mittee. Messrs Bradette and Atkinson had motored up from Cochrane after taking part in the afternoon celebration there.â€" After a fine banquet had been served and the tcast to the new sovereigns enthusiastically honoured with a toast and the naticnal anthem, Mayor Noble briefly eulogized the useful work that had been done recently by the Board of Trade, and spoke of it as a necessary local instituticn. The town council had keen glad to have the board‘s coâ€"operaâ€" tion in a number of matters, and that ccâ€"operation had been most effective. ‘He thought the annual "getâ€"together‘" banquet an excellent idea. (From Northern Tribune) The first annual dinner of the Kapusâ€" kasing and District Board of Trade held at the Inn on Wednesday night, was in every way a success. The dinâ€" ing room, tastefully decorated with red carnations on the tables, was filled with merry diners, many of whom were ladies. Seated at the head table with Mayor Noble, who acted as toastmaster and chairman, were Mr. Joseph Bradette. The bangqueters were favoured with pilanc selections of high merit throughâ€" out the evening by Miss Myrtle Mcâ€" Grath, Miss Germaine Hamel and Mr. John Outram. Miss Hamel‘s pupils inâ€" troduced a novelty number. Mr. H. J. Swetman on behalf of the board preâ€" sented Mesdames Noble, Davis and Habel with bouquets of roses, paying tribute to the gentler sex. President Davis gave a thumbâ€"nail sketch of the activities of the board recently, emphasizing that without the help of ‘the town council and the backâ€" ing of the citizens in general the reâ€" sults would have been less noteworthy. The Board of Trade here was a truly representative body, working unselfishâ€" ly to promote the interests of the town, the district, and the North. A still larger membership would fortify the board in its future work. He was happy to see so many attend this first annual dinner, and thought it might become a fixture. Mr. Jsseph Bradette, the federal member, expressed his pleasure in beâ€" ing able to attend this pleasant funcâ€" tion. He complimented the board on its pushfulness, and said the right thing to do was to keep agitating. He had been glad to do what he could to asâ€" sist the board‘s projects as they came befcre him at Ottawa. and he, too, exâ€" tracted pleasure from the fact that a fair degree of success had attended their presentations. Mr. Pradette then spoke of the great significance of the coronation proceedâ€" ings in Lendon that day, which so strikingly testifiedâ€"to the unity of the British empire today.

When the many diversities of race, tongue and creed throughout the empire were considerâ€" ed, it was a phenomenon. that the great British commonwealth of nations held and endured so well. Democracy was a cherished ideal wherever the British filag waved, and all these varied peoples were resolved to maintain their preciâ€" ‘cus heritage. _ Mr. J. A. Habel followed, in English and French, with similar sentiments and then discussed the plans of the provincial gcovernment in the North. He was very glad that the repeated reâ€" auests of the board for a bridge atl Fauquier had at length borne fruit; tenders had been let for the bridge abutments, and the work would proceed to completion. He said the roads of the district would ‘be put in good shaps this year, including much work on setâ€" tlers‘ roads. Bridge approaches would be straightened also. He asked his auâ€" ditors to realize that there had to be taxes before there could be expenaiâ€" tures. Thueg finances of Ontario had considerably improved, and there would be some easing of the tax burden; nevertheless, if people wanted certain projects carried cout, the money had to ccme from the people. Mr. Habel‘s remarks about the prospective developâ€" ment of the district were listened to with much interest. Maysr Noble took the ccasion to complifhent C.N.R. Superintendent Atâ€" kinson for arranging the much improvâ€" ed train service to Kapuskasing, and this sentiment was heartily encored. Chairman W.
