Bradette, M.P., for the riding of Cochâ€" rane, is still continuing his battle to have this North Land included in the itinerary of the tour of Canada of the King and Queen,. In addition to his public references to the matter, Mr. Bradette has been in close touch with the premier and other members of the: cabinet at Ottawa and has pressed the case for the North. He has shown how by following the usual plan in reference to distinguished visitors to Canada the tour may be routed s> that no change in time will be necessary, the royal party will see more of the country, travel will be as easy or easier for them, and no place now on the itinerary will be ignored. All that is necessary is to have eithey, the eastern or western trip through Ontario partly routed ‘ver the C N. R and T. N. O., instead of all by C. P. R. In this way, instead of passing through the Sudbury area twice, the royal party woud go once through the Sudbury district and the other trip by way of Hearst, Kapuskasing, Cochrane and the T. N. 0. country. Member for Riding Carrying on Work to See that People _of This Part of North Have Opportunity to See King and Queen. Coâ€"operation of All Necessary. Word trom Ottawa this week suggests that Mr. Bradette has a good chance to have the itinerary changed to the extent that this North will not be igâ€" nored and so. that the 400,000 loyal Canada Early this winter The Advance urged the necessity for keeping the roads open this winter to the mines and as far as possible between the towns of the North. In reply to an enquiry, Mr. A. T. Hamer, division engineer at Matheâ€" son for the Dept. of Highways, says that the road from Timmins to Kirkâ€" land Lake and io the roads to various mines and other industries, have been kept open all winter. This has been possible through the coâ€"operation of the municipalities and contractors interâ€" ested. It is the hope to continue to keep the roads open during the balâ€" ance of the winter, and this will be possible unless a serious snow storm occurs. There have been a number of snow storms to date but none of them have been able to stall traffic. This is in contrast to recent occurrences in Scuthern Ontario where traffic was disrupted for days by a storm. With the successful methods of this year it is hoped that the Dept. of Highways will add another snowplough to its equipment, so that next winter the greater extent of roads will be kept open all year.

Members of the League felt that Mr. Rruneite.had .not done.well.in insgisting on the Chairmanship of the Finance Committee as the condition under which he would return to the council. people in this territory will have a chance to see their King and Queen. Mr. Bradette should receive all possible â€"support from the people of the North. The newspapers should return to the battle for the necessary change in ‘the itinerary.,. It can be changed now without any serious difficuity. Indiviâ€" _duals also may help by writing the preâ€" mier at Ottawa and emphasizing the wishes of the North in this matter, I6 might also help a lot if the T.
