The Falls is cluite a contrast to Timmins. The whole town is neat and tidy without l chack residences so common in Visited at Troquois Falls While in North whole town is neat and tidy WILTNDOUIT any shack residences so common in Timmins. ‘The population is about 1,.500, but Ansonville, another town only five minutes walk away, has 2,000 population. "Now to close this Timmins porâ€" tion of the trip with a few observaâ€" tions. Yos, it is true that the mines payrool is $5.000,000 per year and thai gold production at Hollinger is $15,000,â€" 000 per year, but there are problems. The city has grown so fast that they have to buiid a school nearly cvery other vear.. There are few paved streets, very pleasant eveni and Girl Guide Le:s we‘ve already told 1 a swell time.

H. Regimbal, of Iroquois Falls, who accompanied us on the bus to the Falls We had looked forward to this side trip in the hopes of having a quiet visit with our friends and a good sleep. But our hopes were dashed to the ground when we arrivâ€" ed Iroquois Falls to find the Second Scout Troop all on parade to give us a royal Northern welcome. After adâ€" dressing the lads we went with our Scoutmaster friend to his home and got comfortably settled in a big chesâ€" terfield chair when we were informed that the First Troop was awaiting our arrival over at the Anglican Church. And so we hiked over there and atâ€" tended the merting and addressed the boys briefly and then got prepared to get a night‘s sleep. "However, Scoutmaster Ernie Frowe thought different. His good lady, he told us, was entertaining at his house told us, was entertal for their distinguishs the south. And so year. There are few paved streets, and the roads in and around Timmins are terrible. True there is steady work for the miners, but they hang on to their jobs. Don‘t run away with the idea there‘s all kinds of work up there. There isn‘t. There‘s plenty of unemâ€" ployment and want. "The cost of living is very high. Taxes are even higher, and the next time you hear your government nas decided to spend some money on Northern roads, or in special grants to northern school building programs, reâ€" member that the need is very great. "Last summer when we took the Gilâ€" well Scout Leaders Training Course near Acton, four Scout Leaders from Iroquois Falls were among those takâ€" ing the course. On the train going north we rercived a telegram informâ€" ing us that we were expecied in Iroâ€" quois Falls on Friday night and "we won‘t take no for an answer." And so During the recent visit of the Onâ€" tarioâ€"Quebec division of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association to the North, B. H. Mortlock, The Bowmanâ€" ville Statesman, visited Troquois Falls on a side trip in connection with his prominent connection with the Boy Sceout movement. The following is a section of Mr. Mortlock‘s account of the trip North: near AC Iroquois ing the north w the North now, when the need is very great, the north can never contribute all it would wish to contribute to our prosperity in the south."

Serious Problems in Northern Ontarino It is difficult for those of us who live in Southern Ontario to really grasp the tremendous problems with which the municipalities of the mining reâ€" gion are faced. In Kirkland Lake for instance the population in one year from 1932 to 1933 increased nearly 4000. That meant the immediate creation of a townsite the size of Bowmanville, with its schools, streets, waterworks, sewers, homes, stores and other facilities in 12 months. Since 1933 the population has increased another 5,000 which has meant the same thing all over again. From 1832 to 1936 some 2.101 biuildings were erected and there was evidence of a building boom while we were in the north. Realizes the Problems Facing the North Land To get some picture of the situation one must realize that the only indusâ€" tries are mines. Of the taxes paid by mines the federal government gets 64 per cent., the provincial government 28 per cent. and the municipality only eight per cent, Yet it is true that the greatest expense in connection with growth of these mining mushroom cities is on the shoulders of the muniâ€" cipality. It is to be hoped that both the federal and provincial government will see the need of the North and do the same for the North that we of the south would expect. If any southern ern town was faced with same imâ€" mense problems it would naturally exâ€" pect government aid. The population of the northern cities comes from all over Sciuthern Ontario, and the whole province owss it as a duty to the North to aid in the erection of schools and the building of roads.
