Mr. Disley said Members of the Council scoffod at the figure. ‘"That‘s what Kirkland Lake thought until a real survey was made", said Councillor Fairhurst. "Well you can‘t blame the M.OH. if the private doctors don‘t report their cases". said Mr. Disley. "I still say its terrible", continued Councillor McCabe. "I am prepared to take members of the board of Health to these doctors who opened my eyes." "I‘d be glad to accept that offer‘", said Mr. Disley, "Of course you reaâ€" lize that it is not in the interests of the doctors to report theso cases". The discussion was adjourned on the understanding that Timmins would first decide on whether or not it would apoint a fullâ€"time Medical Officer of Health for this municipality The meetinz to so decide was hela immediately after, and all members seemed to be in agreement except Councilior Warren. He thought that if the present Board of Health was furctioning properly no additional staff would be needed. "The board of Health is all right. As a matter of fact it is much more alive than the Council", said the Mayor,. "A year ago that body passed a resolution asking for a fullâ€"time M.O.H.". The Mayor volunteered the informaâ€" tion that the, Town very probably could get a provincial government grant if it asked for one. Resolution drafted as follows: "That this Council, being aware of urgent necessity for the employment of a fullâ€" time Medical Officer of Health in Timâ€" mins and realizing the cost of such would be more than it feels able to meet, therefore requests the Departâ€" ment of Health to make a crant to asâ€" sist in improving health conditions in Timmins." Toronto, July 8 â€" Commemorating the 20th anniversary of Rt. Hon. Wilâ€" liam Lyon MacKenzie King‘s nominaâ€" tion as leader of the Liberal party in Canada, leading businessmen, educaâ€" tionists and statesmen from all parts of Canada will assemble at a banquet in the Royal York Hotel on the evenâ€" ing of August 8. Memtzers of the Council were in fayâ€" our of sending a deputation from the Council to Toronto to plead the case fcr the Town. Banquet at Toronto in Honour of Premier King Central Liberal Association. "It is not a political meeting, but a tribute to the contribution made to Canada by A great statesman during the past 20 vyears. Men and women of all walks of life and of all political affiliation have already signified their intention of attending." "It is expected more than 2,500 perâ€" sons will be in attendance," declared J. P. Travers, president of the Toronto Rt. Hon. Ernest Lapointe, Minister of Justice and close friend of the Prime Minister, will preside during the evening while all Federal cabinet ministers and provincial premiers will occupy the head table. Representaâ€" tives of *many Liberal clubs and orâ€" ganijations in Canada, including members of the Twentieth Century Liberal Club, will also be present at this unique historical occasion. Arrangements have been made to have the speech of the Prime Minister broadcast over a national hookâ€"up of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporaâ€" tion from 10 to 11 o‘clock while earlier in the evening addresses will be deâ€" livered by Rt. Hon. Ernest Lapointe and several provincial premiers. Col. Wm. P. Mulock, K.C., M.P., is chairman of the ctmmittee in charge of arrangements Plans are being made to have the banquet as informal as possible. A musical programme is being provided. While it has been hinted in some political circles that the Prime Minâ€" ister may announce the date of the forthcoming Federal election during the course of his radio address, no confirmation of this was available. Banquet headquarters in the Brock Building, Toronto, reported that there had already been a Rheavy demand for tickets which are available through local members of parliament.

Asks Development to Give Jobs to Toronto Unemployed Toronto > Committee Sees Lignite Development June i3 Work for City Jobless. _ | The : Suggestions advanced by W. F. Woolâ€" ard, 226 Fern avenue, will be given careful consideration, Controller Conâ€" boy said yesterday, when the comâ€" mittee starts consideration of the ligâ€" nite coal deposit question. Mr. Woolâ€" ard has advised the committee that, according to Government figures, the lignite can be mined in large quantiâ€" ties for 88 cents a ton. Valuable Asset "But supposing it cost $1.50 to mine it on a small .scale," he contended, "it would still be a valuable asset to Onâ€" tario, particularly if we became involvâ€" ed in a European war." In submitting his case to the comâ€" mittee, Mr. Woolard said he intended to confine his suggestion to the proâ€" posed development of the lignite deâ€" posits at Blacksmith Falls on the T. N. O. Railway. Some time ago the Ontario Government was considering closing this railway north of Cochrane as it was not paying running expenses, he said. "I wrote Premier Hepburn at the abandonihg the railway, he build up the district to keep the road busy," Mr. Woolard continued.: "I suggested opening up. the coal mine and putting settlers on the land. The Premier reâ€" plied that, after careful consideration, he had decided it was not practicable." But Premier Hepburn recently anâ€" nounced his intention ofâ€" studying the situation, it was pointed out, and Queen‘s Park authoritiee were now preparing a report relative to the feasibility of developing these lignite areas. Mr. Woolard has suggested to the City Hall committee that any developâ€" ment of the lignite deposits should not be made by priate capital for dividâ€" ends. They should be developed by the Government as a means of giving work to the unemployed, he contended, and also for the benefit of the T. N. O. If handled in this way and the lignite sold mostly north of North Bay, in fi[r. Woolard‘s opinion, the developâ€" ment scheme could be made successâ€" ful, Used in West Alberta has been using lignite coal since the first settlers arrived and Saskatchewan has been making .briâ€" quettes for years from a lowâ€"grade lignite, Mr. Woolard pointed out. Australia used nothing else, he added, and Germany also used it largely. Chemistry Now Giving Aid to Cheese Industry Romping home a winner in the reâ€" cent Epsom Derby, Blue Peter rewardâ€" ed his owner with a purse of $52,000, a handsome gold cup and a Cheshire cheese. There cculd be few better exâ€" amples of the esteem in which a fine cheese is held than that one should be a Derby prize, observers George Stanley writing in the current issue of the Câ€"Iâ€"L Oval. Cheese may be termed a natural proâ€" duct, as milk turning sour coagulates, and the curd thus formed is crude cheese. But in actual practice cheese making is an art requiring years of experience to become expert. Cheese making combines all the skill of modâ€" ern animal husbandry, the art and chsmistry of creating a lasting flavour in the product and the benefit of meâ€" chanical ingenuity. is where modern industrial chemistry steps into the picture. In salting the milled curd it is essential that the salt be completely absorbed, as otherwise the final flavour would not be uniform. So science develops a special grade of salt, every particle of which is a flake instead of a crystal. The new salt compares with the old grade in melting action just as a snowflake does with a hailstone and the ripened cheese abâ€" sorbs readily this special salt which is sprinkled over it in the ratio of about two pounds of salt to 1,000 pounds of milk. ie Like all foodstuifs, cheese requires salt to sharpen its flavour and here Traffic at Mattice Much Hampered by Fall of Bridge The Northern Tribune, of Kapusâ€" kasing, last week says::â€"*"Shortly beâ€" fore noon today a large section of the bridge over the Missinabie river at Mattice collapsed, just after, or in fact just as a heavily loaded truck was passing over. The driver had a mirâ€" aculous escape. Traffic on this end of the highway is absolutely suspendâ€" ed for a time and the situation is exâ€" ceedingly embarrassing as the damags is extensive it may be some days beâ€" fore traffic can be resumed." ARIC The mill hand‘ecd 10,861 tons of ore in May, the average recovery being _ due to treatment of some of the rich ore from the surface dump. This comâ€" pares with April returns of $116,840 from 9,535 tons and an averame of $12,â€" 25 per ton. Gross production since the commencement of milling March 1 to May 31 has been $337.037 from 29.957 | tons for an avorage of $11.25. Value of the Golden North to the Province Preston East Dome Output } was $157,037 During May: Official mint returns reveal that Preâ€" ston East Dome Mines, Porcupine disâ€" trict, produced $157,037 during Ahe month of May, compared with an ofâ€" ficial estimate of $157,528 reported n The folowing is an editorial from last Thursday‘s North Bay Nugget:â€" Notable Record Made in Less Than Thirty Years. | "Within a period of little more than a quarter of a century gold mines of Northeorn Ontario have yielded gold in excéess of a billion do‘llars ing 1940, this part of the province will commence building its second billion dollar contribution in isold to the wealth of the country. "Relatively few can appreciate the importance of this exploitation of a great natural resource which epears to exist in unlimited quantity. Prior to 1910 only $2,385,141 in gold has been mined in Ont.â€"With the discovery of the great Porcupine and Kirkland deposits in 1910 and 1911 and the subsequent opâ€" ening up of the Northwestern Ontario fields, production of the yellow minerâ€" al has increased by leaps and bounds and mining authoritiee are convinced that the industry is yet in its infancy. "At the end of the first quarter of the current year, Ontario gold. mines, all in Northern Ontario had a grand total output of $952,926,654, with the T. N. O. region contributing 91.8 per cent. This is remarkable in view of the fact that it is little more than 25 years ago that gold digr:ing was commenced in earnest. Prior to the "strike" im the Porcupine camp, soon followed by disâ€" coveries in the Kirkland Lake territory gold was extracted mainly as a byâ€"proâ€" duct of nickel, coppzr and silver mines. "At the current rate of production,| approximately $100,000,000 annually, it | will take only 10 years to roll up an-! other billion dollars, but with the yearâ€" ly output mounting steadily it is cortaxm that much less than a decade will be required to break into the three billions | column. ! "The most impressive angle of the outlook is that the "originals" of the gold producers are stsadily increasing output. Hollinger, McIntyre, Big Dome, Lake Shore, Teckâ€"Hughes, Wrightâ€"Hargreaves and other biz propâ€" erties continue to boast their yield deâ€" spite the milling of considerable lowâ€" grade ore that was previously Ooverâ€" looked because of go‘d bring at a low price. With the yellow mineral bringâ€" ing $35 per ounce, the mines find it profftable to mill lowgrade and do a better and cleaner mining Job. At the present time, there is no knowing where the greater wealth in gold will be dug in the north. Just now the T N. O. region is in a disâ€" tinctive class, ‘but discoveries and acâ€" tivities in the northwestern region which extends east from the Lakehead district to the Manitoba boundary, give promise of developments which will make this part of the Dominion the greatest gold producing area of the world, South Africa and Russia notâ€" withstanding. "The Porcupine camp ‘leads in the matter of production and dividends. To date it has produced 57 per cent of the total output and has been responsible for 51 per cent of the dividends gistriâ€" buted. Approximately 30 per cent of its gold yield found its way to the pockâ€" ets of those who provided means and money for prospecting and developâ€" ment "Although second to Porcupine in production, the Kirkland Lake camp has a better rmecord in the proportion of money paid in dividends to that proâ€" duced. Its output has been 35 per cent of the total provincial yield while the dividends it caused to be paid are 45 per cent of the total. A comparison of recovery values shows Kirkland Lake ore to be better, it‘s average ton beâ€" ing $14.96 per ton, compared with $8.24 for Porcupine. "This :reat record was achieved withâ€" in less than 29 years and implications that the industry has only been iniâ€" tiated. Ontario has only to show unâ€" bounded confidence in the North‘s minâ€" eral fields to make the next 25 years greatiy overshadow the past quarter cf a century." Seriously Hurt by Car in Accident at Rouyn:! Rouyn, Que., July 8â€"Struck by a car wheel he was crossing Ganble Street, Arthur Roy, Rouyn lies in a serious condition in Youville Hospital here. Roy suffer=d a bad concussion and at first it was feared that his skull was fractured. His left leg was so badly fractured that it will be a year before he can go back to work, if he survives. His left shoulder was also broken. Lodovic Bordlau, Lorrainville, driver of the car is being held at Rouyn Polâ€" ice Station on a charge of driving a car while under the influence of liquor Bordlau had two other companions in his car at the time of the accident, Roy was hit by the left fender of the North Biiy Nugget:â€"We‘re now downward side of the year. on the t By Hugh Murphy g Now that Brtain is armed and in position to put some restraint on Gerâ€" many, she is having a hard time conâ€". vincing the Nazi government that when she signed a treaty with Poland to asâ€" sist in case of aggression, she meant what she was saying. The German government has turned its face away and prefers not to see or be aware of Britain‘s mignt. That it is aware there is no doubt but she is adopung lthe diplomatic ruse of refusing to recâ€" ognize Britain‘s armed force. In order to avert another German bluff such as was pulled in the case !c.f Czechoâ€"Slovakia, Britain must make \ Germany officially recognize the fact ithat she intends to resist the seizure ; of Danzig by force or by peaceful anâ€" | nexation. 9,862 homes mean just that many ‘home owners have staked their future in the communities in which |they live. When a man buys a home ‘he buys more than the lumber and material necessary to build it. He buys 'a deep and profound interest in his ltown or city and an increased regard ‘for his family and its life. To that ond there was a general blackâ€"out and rechearsal of airâ€"raid deâ€" fence organization in fifteen countries on Saturday night. PFurthermore neâ€" gotiations are in progress for British army planes to make long distance flights over Franceâ€"and possibly over Germany. An exchange of air units between Poland and Britain is contemâ€" pated. In order to bring realization of Briâ€" tish power to Germany a symbolic fleet may be sent to France and make long range bomber flights. Military actiâ€" vity on such a scale as is planned_can hardly help but have a dampening efâ€" fect on German intentions to iry any more bluffing. One of the healthiest siins in Canâ€" ada today is the way in which the pubâ€" lic is taking advantage of the opporâ€" tunity to borrow money for the conâ€" struction of homes under the National Housing Act. Number of loans approVvâ€" ed in June was 547 and the amount exâ€" ceeded $2,000,000. Taking into account advances made under the Hon*> Improvement Act, more than $8,500,000 was made availâ€" able in May and June for the construcâ€" tion of new and the improvement i old residential properties. Up to June 30 the aggregate volume of Housing Act loans approved stood at $36,655,589 providing for 9,862 famâ€" ily housing units. The magazine "Ken" is going off the market m Augustâ€"and few tears will be shed. Says its editor: "Rather than employ inflationary methods, the pubâ€" lishers preferred to admit that they * #» had ‘backed the wrong horse‘ . Ken was a political chip off "Esâ€" quire‘s" editorial block. Its progr/m was to tell the inside story on the dicâ€" tatorshipsâ€"which usually meant Fasâ€" cist baiting and dirt throwing rather than authoritive information and reaâ€" sonable criticism, and to take the odd halfâ€"hearted crack at capital. Its adherence to the side of labour did not look very sincere when the employees of the magazine went on because they were underpaid. Throughout its history it was wishâ€" washy pulp designed to appeal to the armchair intellectual and the lunatic fringe. Hon. W. D. Herridge is "sorry" that J. S. iWoodsworth leader of the C. C. F. party, refuses to coâ€"operate with his new political party, the New Demoâ€" cracy movement. Mr. Woodsworth, giving reasons for his refusal, said: "The C. C. F. has a very definite proâ€" gramme which it has been advocating for years. Mr. Herridge has not yet evolved any programme other than a series of vague generalities and we do not [propase to joining hands with groups with which we have little in common. Mr. Herridge is using the "Fascist" bogey as one of his scare inciters. That and ‘"reaction" in the old parties are about all he has said to date that is very definite. The C.CF. on the other hand, as Mr. Woodsworth says, has for years, advocated certain very definite things. To be obedient to the dictates 01 the cosmetics manufacturers, Oor in other words, to be fashionable, milaay is now expected to have a shiny face. She is expected to have a glazed (not razed) look. To achieve that she will be sold oils and greases with which to cover her face. The nose will not be shiny though. Oh noâ€"it wili have a coating of powâ€" der and be devoid of highlights. Don‘t think for a moment that this new style will obviate the necessity of jabâ€" bing at one‘s nose every few minutes with a powder pufl. The lips are to be heavily carmined. Lipstick is to be plastered thickly on them so that the mouth resembles a bloody slash across the face. The general effect should be faintly reminiscent of the cirecus. Between the new hats and the clownish makeâ€"up women will be losing their identityâ€"or perhaps regaining their true identity. $25 Damage to Auto In Fire on Thursday Twentyâ€"five dollars damage wWas done to an automobile when it burnâ€" ed in front of 157 Pine Street on Thursday evening early. The car was owned by W. C. Hollering. A call was received to St, Charles School at 7:45 pm. on the afternoon of Friday. It proved not to be serious.
