Mr. Doucet with his family, who are resident in Sherbrooke, Queâ€" bec, were out at Little Lake on a picnic party, and Mr. Doucet was searching for a suitable cool spot to serve the picnic lunch. Walking around on the shore of the lake, in shallow depth of water, he apparently fell into a deep hole in the lake, and although those near him heard his cry for help, they were uable to reach him immediately. Artificial respiration was employed, to no avail. Mr. Doucet was for several years in Timmins, employved as an insurance agent, and while here he made many friends among the people of the camp. His widow was fomerly Miss Jean Ayotte, sister of Mr. Tony Ayotte of the local firefighters, and was employed on the staff of The Advance.

Dewan, Minister of Agriâ€" culture for Ontario, paid a brief visit to the North this week. He was in Timmins for a couple of hours on Wedâ€" nesday morning, going on to Cochrane where he was the guest at a luncheon in his honour at noon, proceeding from Cochrane to Kapuskasing and Hearst. Previous to coming here he paid a brief visit to New Liskeard and other farming areas in Temiskaming and also visited Monteith on his way here. Mr. Harry Nixon accompanied him on his trip through Temiskaming, while Mr. D. Pomerleau, district repreâ€" sentative of agriculture, was with him in his rapid tour of Cochrane District While the visit to the North was a hurried one, it was of very informative type, Hon. Mr. Dewan spending much of the time with settiers and farmers and seeing their places. Being a pracâ€" tical farmer himself and a very successâ€" ful one, Hon. Mr. Dewan was able to secure much valuable firstâ€"hand inforâ€" mation in a brief time. While the govâ€" ernment farms were duly inspected, the helpful feature of Hon. Mr. Dewan‘s visit to the North, was his personal interest in settlers and farms. Hon. Mr. Dewan‘s idea seems to be to escape from any subsidizing of settlers or farmers as uneconomic, but to give such assistance and coâ€"operation as will take several forms. First there will be effort to see that the men emâ€" ployed in building the farms are of thir right calibre. He noted that neighâ€" bours with equal chances would show one on relief and another doing well Education of the farmers to cope with the peculiar climatic and soil condiâ€" tions, guidance in regard to the most desirable lines to develop for profit. and suggestions for "better living" for settlers and farmers in double way anâ€" peared to be in the mind of the Minisâ€" ter of Agriculture. He recognized also the need for assistance in the matter of marketing. The scattered style of settlement adds to the difficulty .of marketing in the North, It is a long distance to the metropolitan market, Visits Settlers and Farmers and Secures Information for Plans.
