Kelley, Esq Fresident, Ontario Assoziated Boards 150 Main St., E., Hamilton, Ontario. He says they are more or less all North of â€"Northâ€" Bay at spots all the way up, but from South Porcupine to Timmins they are practically, when he was there, impassa@ble Mile after mile of raw cut stone. He has a new car, and one of his new tires was cut all to pieces. The dust is very bad, and the detours practically ruin a car because of the fact that they are nothing but paths, more or less like an old buggy path which winds and twists, and shakes a car to piectes. He further stated that, with talking with some of the local people of the distric:, that there was a movement on foot to discontinue buying motor vehicle liconses next year if the Onâ€" tario Government did not improve ithe roaads, at least making them passable. I am passing this on for your informaâ€" ticn. Dear Mr. Kelley:â€"In replying to your letter of the 20th instant, I wish to be quite frank, even tho‘ I may be wrong in my surmises. Â¥ou will recall when we attended upon Mr. Nixon and the members of the Cabinet, that Mr. Nixon told the deleâ€" gation of our being perfectly satisfied with the Minister of Highways‘ proâ€" gramme for roadwork in Northern Onâ€" taric. Subsequently, the Minister of Highâ€" ways endorsed an expenditure for road eonstruction of Twenty Million Dollars to be divided equally between the North and the South. subsequently, a number of contracts were entered into and some of these dealing with roadwork in the North. However, there have been no assurances given that the Ten Million Dollars will be expended on road construction in the present year, and I have very grave doubts as to whether it will be done in The way the work is going along in the Pamour section, if it continues at the same speed, I doubt whether it will be completed in 1939, and the work elsewhere in the North is similar. Generally speaking, the roads throughout the North are in a deplorâ€" able condition and not fit to drive over, particularly because of the dust hazard. There have been numerous accidents and three fatalities in the, last week. Moreover, the road was blocked for a certain. length of time because of a truck two years It would appear as though the work is to be dragged out under these various contracts and the remainâ€" ing contracts held over until such time as an election is in effect. One only has to make a comparison of the way things are done on the new stretch between Hamilton and Toronto with the contracts here, in the North, to be driven to this conclusion. Memo for Colonel Healey July 15, 193"7. I have refrained from giving you a written report on our verbal converâ€" sation regarding the condition of highâ€" ways in Northern Ontario, especially North of North Bay. I, however, had a talk with my brotherâ€"inâ€"law last Sunâ€" day, and he is very much surprised that the Ontario Government would leave highways in the condition in which he found them during his recent trip. Yours very truly, The Ontario Asscociated Bosards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce RUSSELL T. KELLEY, President. The following is the enclosure reâ€" ferred to:â€" Yesterday I was in Barrie and Midâ€" land and on the road home I picked up a couple of young chaps who had come down from the North. They advised me that a great deal of work was being done on the road from North Bay to Kirkland Lake but they did state that the roads were quite bad from Kirkâ€" land Lake to Timmins. s Do you think there is anything furâ€" ther we should do in regard to this matter?

A modâ€" ern range and refrigerator including those of the electrizc, gas or kerosene type may be purchased. With this much of her room comâ€" pleted, the housewife may complete the transformation by furnishing sheer curâ€" tains, a kitchen table with porcelain top and two chairs painted orange and a stepâ€"ladder which makes the blue ware on the high shelf easily accessible, When not in use as a ladder the conâ€" vertible contraption becomes a stool. Dull walls, dingy smokeâ€"grimed woodwork, inconvenient sink, greasy black stove and chipped ice box hardly enthuse the housekeeper. This room transformed, however, will be reflected not only in the housewife‘s improved disposition but also in the meals she serves her family. ; To ‘begin with, of course, the whole room is thoroughly cleaned. A new washable wall covering is applied. This may be either paper or paint. A soft yellow would make a small kitchen cheery and sunny on the grayest day. The ceiling could be finished in the same shade on a slightly deeper tone. A deep orange woodwork wouldâ€"be conâ€" siderably more cheerful than the oldâ€" fashioned oak finish. A brown composition floor covering is easy to keep clean. On either side of the windows over the sink, cabinets may be built to hold kitchen staples, baking dishes. etc. These could be painted orange with a stencilled design in blue and brown on the doors. A shelf between the two would form a ledge over the window. Ordinary blue ware would be a deccrative note on this, unâ€" less the housewife was fortunate enough to possess copper utensils. A modern electric fixture that gives an even, clear light would be a happy replacement of the old electire dbulb dangling on a dusty wire. There should be adequate outlets to care for toastâ€" ers. irons and other kitchen equipment. Onse the basic features of the room have been established, an upâ€"toâ€"date sink with adequate space for washing A kitchen cabinet may be repainted. Gay plants at the window are the final touch. The drab cubicle has become one of the house. The Dominion Government‘s Home Improvement Plan opens the way for beautifving the interior of your home. North Bay Nugget:â€"War has been robbed of its traditional formality. There was a time when a nation deâ€" clared its intention to attack another. Now they just open fire like the comâ€" mencement of a street brawl. Huntingdon Gleaner:â€"In New York a plastic surgeon, Dr. James sStotter, was consulted by two comely young ladies relative to having their noses, lips and chins rebuilt. The surgeon realized the girls were twins and asked the reason for their contemplated plasâ€" tic surgery. The giris, who gave their names as Betty and Mary Yartner, Of Chicago, confessed they were tired of looking exactly alike and all the emâ€" barrassing situations this got them into, and wanted to have their looks changed to give them more individuality. The kitchen is sometimes a discourâ€" aging problem to the housewife who is planning to redecorate her home. How to Make Kitchen Pretty and Useful I ‘believe, that it is cur duty to have ccnfidences in Cur Minister of Highâ€" ways; that he will carry out his stated programme this year without any dillyâ€" dallying or other nonsense; so, with this in mind, I have done nothing further, but just adopt an attitude ofâ€" "wait and see if these promises are fulfilled." I might further add that in the past month, quite a number of the merâ€" chants have ‘been insistant upon carâ€" rying out the idea of a boycott and I feel quite sure that if the government continues this illâ€"treatment of the North, that a boycott will be carried out next year Even if the same is onily 20% effective, the South will feel it. Yours truly, Problem Often Solved by Study and Consideration Our Boards of Trade, had nothing whatsoever to do with this movement. I personally told the canvasser that we approved of nothing of an illegal naâ€" ture. During the past two months there has been a person canvassing every one in town to sign a petition, the gist of which is, for motorists to refuse to purchase licenses or permits until roads were put in shape. This petition signed by hundreds, if not thousands, was deâ€" livered, I believe, last week to the Minâ€" ister of Highways. I feol that a demand should be made upon <he Minister of Mighways for a ftull report on his public statement to spend en million dollars this year on roadwork throughoaut Nopthern Ontario. Firstly, to ascertain that the work will te done this year and secondly, just where. The last major azscident in which a woman los} he« life, and which cccurred near Kenogzami Lake, was partly due to the negligenctce of the Department of Highways in not removing timber and Jusch arcund a curve.

Another suggestion is to serve plain !? buttered bread or rolls in place of Lhel sandwiches, and make cheese a part of the salad by combining grated cheese with the other ingredients, or by servâ€" ing a cheese dressing with the salad. For the dressing blend together equal parts of grated Canadian cheddar cheese, processed, cream or c"ttage‘ cheese with salad dressing, folding in whipped cream if desired. Small ballq, of cottage or cream cheese, slices ofl Canadian cheddar or cheese, large prunes or celery stocks stuffed with a cheese mixture all add flavor @and food value to the picnic salad 7 7 % } 7 7 4 | | Some foods seem to be just right for pirnicsâ€"and cheese is one cf them. Cheese sandwiches are, without doubt, the most popular and most practical way to serve cheese at a picnic. It is a good idea, and an easy matter to"vary the sandwiches from one picnic to anâ€" other by making use of the many cheese fillings which can be so quickly and economically prepared. For tasty and novrishing sandwiches, blend cheeseâ€"either grated Canadian chedâ€" dar, progessed, cottage or creamâ€"with salad dressing and add chopped green pepper, green onions, pimento, nuts, pickles, olives or celery. Use a generous amount of filling with brown or white bread cut to suit the occasionâ€"in other words not too thin, or, for a change, use the filling in buttered tea biscuits or rolls. Comparison makes Mr. Scotts rezord all the more impressive. Today the avâ€" erage young man commences business life at 20. To equal Mr. Sceott‘s record of having spent more than 80% of his life in one organization, the average young man would be required to work until he was over a hundred years old.

A Dialogue on Moderation M Mr Mr. Mr. B A It‘s my opinion, sir, there‘s a big gap in principle between moderation and prohibition. Yes, moderation means the avoiding of extremes, being temperate in conduct . . . that sort of thing. It‘s a matter of character, a matter of control: Prohibition denies that people can exercise self control. Yes, but every decent citizen is agreed that young people What etc. :;h;)u]dubvevp'rv(;{eczéa'fi-()filâ€" the abuse of drink. _ i o sls And yet, those same decent citizens listen to the shouting of exiremists who want to return to prohibition. Mostly misinterpretations of conditions, Halfâ€"truths. Exâ€" amine the situation fully and you‘ll realize that even with their occasional abuses, the beverage rooms are the best safeguards against the evils we all want to destroy. But aren‘t you arguing in circles? Yesâ€" in a circle that goes back to 1916. Remember how 1 warned you that prohibition was going to make.drinking a sport, and drunkenness a distinction? Have you forgotten already how this actually happened"? Who‘s talking about prohibition? Ontario has one of the soundest liquor control systems in the world. Agreed. But the agitators who are trying to create a ublic demand for restrictions are forgetting that fact. They forget, too, the degrading conditions that existed under soâ€"called prohibition. [ must admit there‘s a great deal in what you say, and rather than go back to the bad old days, 1‘d rather see young and old in blic government controlled premises ... drinking a wholesome mildly stimulating beverage like beer.
