If Northern Ontario is to be pioneered, it should be done by gangs of young men properly equipped, fed and supervised. The work should be undertaken in a systematic and intelligent manner, so that when it is finished there will be some‘hing to show for it other than a few settlers, mossâ€"chinked shacks aâ€" mong the tall timbers forming a conâ€" stant hazard from fire and famine. There can be no object in repeating the mistakes made in pionsering the West. Even in Ontario hundreds of farms were pioneered which would have been better left in the natural state. It is our idea that thoss with money to spare should pioneer the North eclunâ€" try. Th picneer spirit will be arouse in enough young hearts to give them a hand, and some of the older boys who nelped pioneer the West will be glad to take part in "driving the last spike." â€"Eric Fernit. RR 2, Drayton, Ont. Funeral of Martin Gavan At Chapeau, Que., Last W eek When Mr. Beatty called upon the young people of today to emulate the spirit of their fathers and go North to pioneer that country did he mean it, or was it that some latent spiril of adâ€" venture was aroused within him as he addressed the Snowshoe Club in Queâ€" bec? Going for a tramp on snowshoes through the bush, or spending one‘s summer holidays in the Canadian wilds is a different problem from takâ€" ing an axe, a team and a plow and trying to eke out an existence in the hinterlands of Northern Ontario with none of the nscessities or facilities of the more thickly populated areas close to hand. If Sir Edward had in mind picnserinz the North for agricultural purposes, we would point out that there are many excéellent farms throughout the clder settled districts of Ontario which were pioneered years ago by men who knew how, and which will need pioncering again if they are not soon put on a paying basis. As the son of a who moved West in 1885, I have a firstâ€"hand knowlâ€" asdge of just what the pioneer is up agains: and, thcough I am little older than the publisher of The Globe and Mail, I saw the Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk Pacific Raxlways pushed through the foothills west of Edmonton, and I well remsmber the transportation of freight over corduroy roads and Pembroke, Feb. 27.â€"The funsral of the late Martin Gavan, who died in a Pembroke hospital on February 16, took place last Monday morning from his late homs to St. Alphonsus Church, Chapeau, where Monsignor A. M. Reâ€" naud officiated, assisted by Rev. D. J. Harrington as deacon and Rev. F. Rodnick as subdeacon. Burial was made in the Roman Catholic cemetery. The pall bearers were his six sons, M. J.. Clifford, Ernest, Lloyd, Lennox, and Emmerson Gavan. The sympathy of the community is extended to the sorâ€" rowing wife, daughters and sons owing to the loss of a kind and loving husâ€" band and father. Among those from a distance attending the funsral was Mrs. Clifton Thomson, of Timmins, a daughâ€" ter of the late Mr. Gavan. through swamps. It was not uncommon to sor a wagon, heavily laden, pull into a small trading centre with a sapling taking the placs of a wheel as a skid, ar to see shod oxen and mules matched About Pionecering The CGreat North Country ness for this family, four sons became Drilliant soldiers with British training. And it was de Salaberry who ed the 350 Canadian Voitigeurs and Glengarry Fencibles, who in., the war cf 1812, routed 3500 Americans at the almost incredible battle of Chatsauguay described by the historian Sir Charles G. D. Roberts as "perhaps the most glorious in the whole course of a war which brought much glory to our arms." It cannot be doubted that some of the credit for this Canadian triumph of arms goes to the influence and inspiraâ€" â€"the 7th Fusiliers. Simcoe ordered all men over 5 feet 9 inches to parade while Edward mad> his selection; subâ€" ject, he was careful to add, to the wish and acquiescence of the ones selected. He Saw the Falls On the same day the Prince was taki>n to see Niagara Falls. He saw the mighty cataract in all its primitive srandeur. There were no bridges then, no souvenir stalls, no crowds nor any buildings to speak of near the Falls, one of these being the farm house of Francis Ellsworth, a Loyalist soldier, who had received a land grant taking in Table Rock at the edge of theâ€"Horseéâ€" shoe Falls, and who was, incidentally, the greatâ€"grandfither Of Alfred Leroy Ellsworth of the Britishâ€"American Oil Company, Toronto. There was also a small inn on the Canadian side. So Eqaward and his suite were able to adâ€" mire the prospect while following a trail through unspoiled forest. He was greatâ€" ly impressed. For a visit to the Falls in 1792 had all the tang of a piongeer aaventure. At Queenston on the way sack to lakeside capital, the Prince dined with Mr. Hamilton. Later Moâ€" hawk Indians entertained him with their weird war dances, performed in all the regalia of paint and feathers. They gave him a belt of wampum and created him thie great chief of all chiefs. Then, when the sightseeing and social festivities were over, Edward boardsd the Onondaga again; the regiments stood stiffly at arms, the royal salute roar>d once more, and the sthooner headed for Kingston. Ship Bullt of Black Walnut Shortly after the visit, a new schooner was launched. It was called the Prince Edward, and was built ¢nâ€" tirely of red cedar. And in the Niagara Gazette of May 26, 1798, a "good sloop" ready for launching, is advertised for sale. She was built of black walnut. Followinz some active service in the West Indies, Edward Duke of Kent, made his second trip to Canada in 1794 to become Lieutenantâ€"Governor of Nova Szcotia, and majorâ€"general comâ€" manding His Majesty‘s forces therein. In a flowery spgeech of welcome at Haliâ€" fax, he was hailed as a "second Caesar." His rogime was noted for furtherance of public enterprises and for sustained social galety. Nova Scotia virtually beâ€" came selfâ€"contained kingdom by the s>a with a popular ruler, who brought a brief but glowing golden age. Of that period, we possess a modest memento. It is a pay list dated at Halifax, 15th July, 1795, and records the payment of £23 17s 94@ to some mssn of the King‘s County Militia who had b:en active on the "New Works". And the neatest script of the twoâ€"page document is the Prince Very Punctual However, Simcoe promptly began preâ€" to greet his royal guest in is tiny capital at the mouth of the Niogara River, wher» now stands the ristoric town of Niagaraâ€"onâ€"theâ€"lake. Nine days were required for the trip ‘rom Quebec to Niagara. Through the Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence, Edward glided in state on a gaily deâ€" orated barge propelled by picked oarsâ€" men. At Kingston he embarked on the armed schooner Onondaga, of 14 guns. And a royal salute thundered from Fort George when the schooner arrived n the 21st of August. Two days laterâ€" it half past six in th> morningyâ€"Edâ€" ward, a model of punctuality and an incorrigibly early riser, reviewed the troops of the garrison. Delighted with he appearance of the soldiers, the 25â€" yearâ€"old Prince desired to have some f them drafted into his own regiment Edward Augustus, Duke of Kent, the fourth son of George III, and Qusen Charlotte, and the father of Queen Vitâ€" tor‘a, was the first member of the Briâ€" tish Royal Family to visit Canada. «He was in Upper Canada, now the province of Ontario. in the summer of 1792, At that time. the site of Toronto was primâ€" eval forest with no sign of human habiâ€" tation sav> an occasional Ind‘an tepse.

The increased rate was dus to the increased number of motor acciâ€" dents in Ontario in 1938. The increase was made effective by the ~Canadian Underwriters‘ Associaâ€" tion. Incrsases have been . made throughout the Dominion. Increase in the price of automobiles was seen by insurance men here to be one major reason for the higher rates. Cost of replacement of parts is greater and headlights, radiator grills and other parts of automobiles are more vulnerâ€" able to damage on the newer automsâ€" biles. Car Insurance Rates Increased Yesterday Increases for the varicus coverages are as follows: Public liability, 25 per cent. increase; property damage, 25 per sent.; collision (full coverage), no change; collision $25 deductible), 10 per céent; collision ($50 deductible). 25 per cont.; collision ($100 deductible), 15 per cent.: fire. 20 ner cent_. deerease Due to the scarcity of automobils fires the last year the rates have been decreased 20 per cent. while the theft insurance charges have remained the same. (From Toronto Telegram) When the special committse of the House is examining the question of radio broadcasiing., it should mak: inâ€" quiries about expenditur>s for CBSI proâ€" 3rams. â€"According to the balance sheet, the broadcasts of last year cost $1.088.â€" 419, which accounts in large part for the need ‘of an increase in license fees. Radio owns>rs who had to pay the inâ€" creased fees would like to know some of the facts about the expenditure. The commiitee might find out how much was paid for the Winnipeg broadâ€" casts which traduced the British govâ€" arnm>nt and outraged «the feelings of ministers, members and psople. It might find out how much is lost by the prohibition of inoffensive and inâ€" structive broadcasts like those of Bevâ€" arley Baxter. These are things that would .be worth knowing. Mr. Brockington might be asked to say how, and on what principle, the OBC ~speakers are selectedâ€"who, for instance, selected the Winnipes speakâ€" r, and who s2lects the amateur statesâ€" men who hold forth in the forums conâ€" lucted every week? The answer would 3e interesiing, because the selections zem to ‘be all pretty much of a kind and it is wonder why they are all of that particular kind.

He mighs tell whether there is a tost for speakâ€" *rs, or whether they ars> pickoad from jersonal friends.
