In other matters Mr. Bradette has shown a notâ€" able persistence and courage in sticking to any battle in the interests of the North. It is to be hoped that he will continue the fight for a change Windsor is reported as almost in revolt because London is on the itinerary and the Border City is not. Windsor is less than 120 miles from Lonâ€" don, with perfect highway service and several lines of railway connecting the two cities, not to menâ€" tion the use of buses and other methods of easy transportation. Centres in this North, however, are several hundred miles from the nearest point of call on the present itinerary, and the roads are much different to the paved highways in the south. Railway connections are also far from as perfect as in the South. In a word to leave the itinerary as it is, means that literaily hunâ€" dreds of thousands of loyal people in this part of: the North will be deprived of all chance of secing the King and Queen., Judging from his remarks in the House Mr. Bradette‘s idea in pressing for a change in the itinerary is chiefly to assure the 400,000 people in this North an opportunity to see their King and Queen. In this land of great distances, the presâ€" ent itinerary deprives the great majority of the people of any chance to see the royal party. It is all very well to compliment Sault Ste. Marie and Kapuskasing on suggesting excursions to the nearâ€" est point at which the royal itinerary will touch. For the great majority of the people of the North such excursions will be valueless. Only a very few would be able to spend the time and the money to travel to Sudbury or Long Lac or some other point hundreds of miles awayâ€"and inconvenient in every way to reach. If the great majority of the hundreds of thousands of loyal people in this North are going to have any real chance to catch even a glimpse of their King and Queen, the route must touch some point or another of this part of the North. It would no doubt be interestâ€" ing and pleasant for the King and Queen to have the opportunity to see the agricultural, the minâ€" ing, the forest and the scenic sections of this Northâ€"to stop at Hearst, Kapuskasing, Cochrane, Iroquois Falls, Timmins, Kirkland Lake, Cobalt, New Liskeard, Haileybury, Temagami and other places. It is recognized by all, however, that this would involve too much timeâ€"if Ottawa, Toronto and other cities of ordinary attractions and inâ€" terest are to have special allotment of time. What the North asks is that the route of the royal tour be changed, either on the east or the west trip, to take in this section of the country, and that a stop be made at two or three central points. The royal train need not stop at every stationâ€"need not, indeed, even hesitate. If there were one or two visits at central points the people would find ways and means to reach these favoured places. The people of the North would put up with much inâ€" convenience and give as much time and trouble as possible to see their King and Queen. It does appear hard, though, to be deprived of all chance, and to have this North completely ignored. Mr. Bradette pointed out to the Government that the itinerary could be changed with no maâ€" terial change in time or convenience and without depriving any other part of the country of the opportunity to see the King and Queen. The one change necessary would be the routing of the royal party to avoid visiting one section of Ontario in double way. The solution is to take the royal party west by C.P.R., and then use the Transconâ€" tinental line and the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railways on the return trip through Norâ€" thern Ontario. Or the plan might be reversed to use the T. N. O. and the C.N.R. on the western route, returning through Ontario wholly by C.P.R. This is the plan that has been used with practicâ€" ally every other tour of Canada of any importance.% Why is it impractical this time? Why are the two‘ governmentâ€"owned railwaysâ€"the C.N.R. and the AI. N. O.â€"being as studiously ignored as this North Land. In his address in reply to the Speech from the Throne at Ottawa last week, Mr. Joseph A. Bradâ€" ette, member for this riding, again called attention to the fact that this whole rich and interesting Northliand had been completely ignored in the matter of the itinerary of the tour of the King and Queen. It is pleasing te see that Mr. Bradâ€" ette is not dropping the matter, just because some Oofficials said in solemn voice: "The itinerary canâ€" not be changed." As a matter of fact. it has been changed in one or two particulars since the issuâ€" ing of that solemn declaration about the itinerary being like the laws of the Medes and Persians. The Advance repeats that it is simply silly to declare in a voice like doom, "The itinerary cannot be changed." There are many reasons why it may have to be changed on a moment‘s notice. With months to prepare for the event, it would be the part of fairness and wisdom to change the itinâ€" erary so that the North is not completely ignored.

Some people noticed that the Detroit river appeared to be flowing backwards. They slipped in to the nearest beverage parlour and had another drink, but when they came out again that pesky river was still playing Corrigan. "What would you exâ€" pect after electing Hon. David Croll mayor?" was the gruif comment of one good citizen when his attention was called to the fact that the river was flowing the wrong way. After another couple of drinks, it was decided ot notify the police. Why couldn‘t the police do something? What are the police paid for? If the police can arrest a man for driving a car when somebody is under the in-;1 fluence of liquor, why can‘t they arrest a river for running backwards before everybody get unâ€"| der the influence of liquor? After still another! Probably the most irritating part of the whole matter to the North is the fact that one of these days there will be a few feet of harmless snow fall in this North, or a thermometer may go out of reâ€" pair so that the mercury falls down the shaft to the bottom,â€"and then all those Toronto newsâ€" papers will have doubleâ€"barrelled banners across their front pages telling of the fearful storm ragâ€" ing in the Northâ€"the articles illustrated with buried houses, stalled cars, and whatnot, the presâ€" ent pictures of their own storm scenes doing exâ€" cellent second service to picture the desolation. Several years ago The Advance advised the stormâ€"stricken sufferers of the South to escape harm by spending their winters in the North. The advice was not taken seriously then. More recentâ€" ly some attention seems to have been paid to it in a Corrigan sort of way. The South has sent enough of its unemployed North to spend the winâ€" ter. There isn‘t much sense in that. Already there are thousands of men out of work here, and no new work in the, offing. Even this wonderful climate is none too kindly to a man thinly clad and thinly rationed. He would have just as good a chance facing the blizzards in the South. The Advance idea was that Southern Ontario men, with lots of money and lots of clothes, might proâ€" fitably use the North as a winter resort to escape the storms and biockades of the South. If the: workless only are to be sent here, then the South; should ship some work this way as well. The Bri-; tish idea of moving the Old Land to Canada for safety did not contemplate the shipping here of| the people only. The British are too good sports! for that, and too sensible. They were going to | transplant factories, industries, business, everyâ€" thing. That‘s the spirit! It may take a lot of blizzards, however, to put the idea fully over in| respect of the people of the stormâ€"cursed South.| There has been discussion recently of the idea that the people of the Old Country may have to move to Canada to escape the danger of the miliâ€" taristic weather in Europe. The talk has included proposal for changing the seat of government of the Empire, moving industries and business, holus bolus, to Canada, for safety and comfort. Well, it‘s an idea. In it also there is a hint for the sufâ€" fering people of Southern Ontario. Why not move north where the winter weather is simply, salubâ€" rious and brightly bracing? Why have stalled trucks and cars, when the roads are open in the North? Why have factories on short time because of storms, when there‘s always business as usual in this North Land? While all this horror is gripping poor old Southâ€" ern Ontario, the North Land is going along as usual, thank you! Roads here are open to the other towns, to the mines, to the lumber camps, and so on. The bus service between Timmins and South‘Porcupine has been running hourly without a single interruption. Men working at mines in the district haven‘t missed a shift because of any storm. It is true that there has been a little cold weather in the North this yearâ€"and last year. But in this great country people know how to stand a little cold. It is true that there has been some snow hereâ€"and some here now. But folks in this North know what to do with snow. What isn‘t snowploughed, just has to be shovelled. It is as easy as that. BACKWARD, TURN BACKWARD Of course, they refer to the cold and desolate North? Of course, they do not! This terrific storm, this desperate blizzard, this fearsome cold, this terrible suffering, these piledâ€" up snowdrifts, these sickening accidents, and all this horrible storm stuff actually occured in Southâ€" ern Ontarioâ€"in that part of Southern Ontario known as Western Ontario, because Toronto lies to the East. These are newspaper headings collected from Toronto dailies this week. ‘"Mourners at Funeral Injured in Accident Causâ€" ed by Snowdrifts!" ‘"Many Suffer from Cold and Exposure." "One of the Worst Storms in History of Coun- try!" "Blizzard Isolates Villages, Halts Traffic!" "Thirty Held Prisoners by Snowdrifts!" ‘"Terrific Storm Disrupts Transportation!" ‘"‘Twentyâ€"five Cars and Trucks Stalled by Storm!|" in the proposed itincrary, and that, as in several other cases, his patience and insistence and sinâ€" cerity will win out.

"I‘m ganging tae London, and a‘ that I careâ€" ; And all this timeâ€"even between drinksâ€"that pestiferous river kept right on flowing backwards. Eventually appeal was made to United States lake ! survey officials. These gentlemen took everything |quite calmly. That is the right way to take anyâ€" thing from backward rivers to forward beers. The officials explained that the river was really runâ€" |ning backwards, had done the same trick before _ some years ago, and might do. it again sometime. They explained that Hitler‘s speech that day had nothing to do with it. The Fehrer couldn‘t turn a river back; all he could do was to turn civilizaâ€" tion that way. Then came the scientific explanaâ€" tion of the odd actions of the Detroit river in this case. The wind, they said, had been blowing steadily in one direction for four days, piling up| water in Lake Erie so that the water in that lake was higher than the H20O in Lake St. Clair. Fol-ll lowing the scientific axiom that what goes up must| come down, the water in the higher lake was flowâ€" ,‘ ing into the lower lake. Lake St. Clair is usually 4‘ feet higher than Lake Erie, but this week Erie being higher than Lake St. Clairâ€"on accounc! of the pufffingâ€"up referred to,â€"the Detroit riverl naturally "went into reverse," to use Detroit lanâ€" guage. Anyway, after a couple more drinks, everyâ€" ' body went back to the beer parlours and Wmdsor returned to normalcy. couple of drinks, it was decided that the police were no good anyway, so why not try the newsâ€" papers? Soon a couple of newspapermen were on the scene of the wrong way river. Henceforth, of course, liquor had no effect. There wasn‘t any doubt about it Detroit river was actually flowing backwards and against the wind just as it usually travels the other way,"â€"those were the very words of the newspapermen, allowing a few odd words off for wear and tear.

If you could look behind the scenes in one of these high speed mass deâ€" veloping companies after a fine weekâ€" end in the summer, you would be asâ€" ‘onished by the enormous pile of film spools for development, comin2z in from the various collecting scations and through the mail from a thousand and one different sources. No matter how many thousands of films there may be finished negatives and prints are expected back at their destination the next day, and perhaps even the sams night.

Let us consider one or two poin‘s in this developing and printing busiâ€" ness. In the first place, it is very scaâ€" When I started first, the greater number of amateurs did all their own printing and developing, and we were getting results of a kind, (chiefly bad). As time went on, we got the habit of giirtinz our work done by professionals; until today, roll film Gdeveloping with some firms has become a vast system of mass production. Now in all cases mass production has its advarvages and disadvantages; and in the case of photography, the dizadâ€" vantages are many and serious. In the case of good photography it is of course out of the question, and just can‘t be is cut of the question with good workâ€" manship. 1 who are sent about their business | _ Sometimes it looks as if half the stories about empty churches these days are written by newsâ€" papermen who don‘t get close enough to a church on Sunday to notice the crowds. A scientific publication says that 10,000,000 Americans suffer from the now famous ailment known as "allergy." It may be explained that the medical term "allergy" is the equivalent of the popular slang phrase, "they can‘t take it." With 10,000,000 suffering from allergy and 25,000,000 having halitosis (one in every five)â€"not to menâ€" tion those with B.O.â€"it would seem that if all these were laid end to end they should reach to the doctor‘s office. The tone of Hitler‘s addresses have changed a little. A few short weeks ago he was roaring: "Will somebody tread on the tail of my coat!" Monday his theme was: "And the barbarians stole my trousers in 1918." Most people were pleased with the three outâ€" standing addresses heard over the radio on Saturâ€" day, Sunday and Monday. Premier Chamberlain‘s address pleased because it had more than the usuâ€" al fire and iron. George McCullagh‘s speech pleased because it was practical and pointed. Herr Hitler‘s remarks pleased because he used less than the customary of blood and bluster. A group of men were gossiping in a local restau-J rant. Any woman who doesn‘t believe men gossxp| sometimes can learn to the contrary, if she wxll] only listen,â€"and the men don‘t know she is there| â€"and she doesn‘t mind what she hears.

"What‘s wrong these at 15 cents a roll and one free enlargement?" he said. To some peoâ€" ple they might have seemed good, but here was the point: they were the kind of prints I used to turn out when I first stamed doing my own work. Right away it was chvious that this was no professional work. Here was a picture well composed, correctly exâ€" posed, but the finished print was dull, and lacked that snap and little someâ€" thing that makes a keen amaceur say: "That‘s dandy!"â€"that something that makes the rotc:ravure editor sit back and sayâ€"*"That‘s got something: we‘ll print that."
