TIMMINS, ONTARIO Suggestion that the Troquois Club disâ€" band was heartily voted down and it was decided to put on an intensive cam.â€" paign for membership. Tribute to the work of Mr. Thistlethwaite mand those assoziated with him in pioneering the cltb and keeping it going was made both by visitors and members. McQuesten Knows Situation Mr. Habel in opening his address declared that roads had been bad last year ‘because the province did not have the money to improve them, and that while some mairntenance had ‘been given it ‘had not been done early enough in the season, owing to the fact that the change was being made from Northern Development to the Department of Highways. Other visitors included Walter Little M.P. from Kirkland Lake, Joseph Braâ€" dette, M.P. from Cochrane, Mayor Thomas Hogg of Troquois Falls and Reeve L‘HMeureux of Ansonville. Fifty Miles of Paving on Highway for This Year late last year owing to complication efâ€" fected by the merger of the Northern Development Department with the Deâ€" partment of Highways. John Rowlandson, M.L.A. for the disâ€" trict was unable to be present,. The occasion was the ninth arnual banquet and 14th annual meeting of the pioneer Irequois Motor Club held in the Iroquois Hotel, at which G. K. J. Thisâ€" tlethwaite was returned president for his fourteenth term. Discuss Northern League There was some discussion of formaâ€" tion of a Northern Ontario club or league at the instarce of Horace Laidâ€" law of Timmins, but after conferences with Lumsden Cumming, 1937 president of the Ontario Motor League, W. G. Roâ€" bertson its general manager and A. T Guay, field represertative, it was deâ€" sided to leave this for. later consideraâ€" tion. The visitors, who were honoured guests at the banguet dowubted if it would ‘be possible to secure canvassers who would enrol sufficient membership. Mr. Laidlaw pointed out that there were at least 10,000 automobiles north of North Bay. As far as the North was concerned he assured his audience that in R. M. Smith, deputy . minister they had a real friend, and that Mr. McQuesten, minâ€" ister of highways, was now familiar with conditions as he had personally surveyed the highway as far as Kapusâ€" kasing. Jokingly referring to the bridge being constructed over the Groundhog river at the site of the Fauquie Ferry, he said that he had answered an objector from Cochrane by suggesting that perhaps the latter would sooner have the river moved into the town.. Iroquois Falls, May 25â€"(Special to The Advance) Prediction that there would be over 50 miles of paving between the Temaâ€" gami limits and Porquis Junction this year and that the Ferguson highway, now known as King‘s Highway No. 11 suld be maintained to the utmost. were made here vesterday evening J3Vv were made here vesterday evening 3V J. A. Habel, ML.A. for Cochrane, who stated that maintenance had started too Mr. Habel in â€"«conclusion said that far from being a handicap to the member, insistence of his electorate on highway improvements was a help, inasmuch as it gave him ‘backing for any claims he might make to the government. The visitors were welcomed by Mayor Hogg with a typically ‘humourous ‘brevâ€" ity, who was joined by Reeve L‘Heureux. IF. Woods, made a suggestion, which was adopted that of commission of 20 per cent, be paid on membership fees. In the elections George Cameron was named viceâ€"president in support of Mr. Thistlethwaite, Frank Charron being appointed secretaryâ€"treasurer. Direcâ€" tors named were Messrs Woods, Herb Wikes, Pat Redmond, Sawyer Corcoran and LaPalme. Little Sees Improvement Mr. Little, thanking the club for the invitation, spoke with feeling of is long assozviation with TIroguois Falls, where a brother of his lived until his death. He referred with enthusiasm to the sense of security and friendship which membership in the Ontario Mp»â€" tor League gave a driver, and regretted that it had ‘been impossible to form a club in Kirkland Lake. He said that there was already a great improvement in road conditions and particularly so from North Bay to New Liskeard and told his audience that Mr. McQuesten had said t0 a Norâ€" thern delegation of which he was a member, "Leave M:Alone, and T‘ll make your heads swim." While Mr. Little denied any headâ€"swimming as yet, he said that there certainly was a change. Mr. McoQuesten, he said, had asked Otâ€" tawa for more money for road work this year, and quoted him as saying that if the people of the North, wanted roads machinery would be used. "If they want relief, let them go to Croll." (Hon. David Croll, at that time was minister of welfare). Mr. Robertson, general manager of the Ontarico Motor League, detailed ai some length‘advantages of membership, pointing to the new facilityâ€".of disability insurance, effective across the border as well as in Canada. Referring to the new speed law, he issued the definite warning that disreâ€" gard of speed laws and the observance of common safety rules would ultiâ€" mately lead to the compulsory fitting of speed governors on all vehicles, or the strict limitation to lower speeds by law. He imaintained the fact that the US. government had fitted 30,000 of its trucks with governors. He predicted completion eventually of a paved highway through the North. D. H. Parker very briefly answered a eull to speak by suggesting that while road improvements were needed, conâ€" sideration should be taken of the vas: rediction Made at Motor Club Banquet at Iroquois Falls Monday Night.

If any, after reading it through should say, as they may reasonably do, that it should not have been necesâ€" sary for the cleverness of a dog to win over the committee, the answer may be made that on the same principle it should not be necessary to emphasize pi nad TCugnRt, stating the new highâ€"powere treal and Toronto situation . Blind Man‘s Dog does Effective Lobbying With the annual campaign for fun for the Canadian National Institu for the Blind now in progress in t dGistrict, there will be special intere in the following interesting story in recent issue of the weekly magazir over the committee, the answer may be made that on the same principle it should not be necessary to emphasize the good work accomplished by the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. In Timmins and district there are several cases of men and women established in business or otherwise helped to be self supporting, despite the ‘handicap of loss of sight. Others have been assisted very materially in adjusting themselves to the new con ditions brought on by blindness. Stil cthers have been saved from tota blindness. Blind people have had lif« made much easier and better for then through the supply of books for the blind and through other advantage given.
