(From The Northern Miner) Canada has long been referred to as the "Granary of the Empire," says the Hon. T. A. Crerar, Canadian Minâ€" ister of Mines . and. Resources, in ‘‘WCTanada‘s Weekly." Since the comâ€" mencement ‘of the present war, the dominions has been frequently referred to as the "Empire Arsenal." This is partly in recognition of the rapid exâ€" tension in recent years of mining in Canada, and of the present ability of the ihdustry to meet its full share of the war needs for metals and minerals. The extent of this expansion may be gauged from the fact that the total value of Canadian mineral output has increased from $129,000,000 in 1940 to an: amount likely to exceed $450,000,000 in 1939. Similarly, the value of metal outâ€" put has increased from $59,000,000 in 1914 to an estimated total of $341,000,000 in 1939, while to total amount of copper, lead, zinc, and nickel now produced exâ€" ceeds 790,000 tons annually as compared with only 83,000 tons in 1914. At a time when ability to produ_ce is especialâ€" ‘ly important, it is gratifying to be able to state that the value of the output in 1939 is not likely to be far short of, and may possibly exceed that of 1937, when it reached a record total of $457,359,002. Value of Canada to the Empire in Time of War It is evident, then, that Canada‘s mingral industry has continued to make exoellent headway. The industry was never in a better position to play its part in the winning of the war. This is indsged fortunate for the advantages that arise from the possession of abunâ€" dant supplies of a greatly diversified list of minerals in the waging of modern mechanized warfare seems likely to beâ€" come increasingly evident. How the People May Help Improve the Roads in the North All Should Help to Prevent Abuse of Roads in the Spring. ‘The people of the North have always been ready enough to call upcn the Government to improve the roads of the Ncrth. At the present moment the people of this North themselves have their chance to do a great deal to help improve the rcads. At the preâ€" sent time the frost is starting to come out of the roads; there are scoft spots that are open to damage that may be practically irreparable during the year. The abuse of the reads at any time of year by improper loading or otherwise is to be condvemned and avoided, but injury to the roads at this particular time is especially to be avoided,. As Mr. A. T. Hamar, Divisional Engineer, Mathescn, says in an announcement in this issue:â€""District coâ€"operation in the protection of the roads will result in district benefit."‘ The law is framed to ‘protect the roads in the spring. Halfâ€"loading regulations ay outlined in the Highways Traffic Act are now in force. ‘The coâ€"operation of all is sought to prevent unlawful and unâ€" necessary abuse of the roads. By all drivers keeping their loads down even below what is permitted by the law and by the public reporting infractions proteéction may be given to the roads. Wherever possible it would be well to keep cff the roads entirel$ for a week or two. Only traffic that cannot be avoilded should be Carried on at this time. In any event special care shouldl be taken in regard to keep loads as light as possible. Heavy loads may do': serious damage on spring roads. 1 The Department of Highways is emphasizing the idea of coâ€"operation for the protection of Northern roads. That would be.the best and most effecâ€" tive way to protect the roads at this time. However, for those who will not coâ€"operate there is notice given. ‘The halfâ€"loading regulations are in force a fine or imprisonment or both. @ermitsmayalsobememd Trafâ€" fic officers will be on duty in this disâ€" wict to check loads. there are penalties for nonâ€" some measure of Considerable space was given in The |Advafice to a meeting held here in the interests of A. G. Slaght, the Liberal) |eandidate. The speakers for the evening |â€" were L. G. Gauthier, M.P., for St. Hyaâ€" {cinthe, Que., and the candidate, A. G.| |Slagnt. Mr. Gauthier spoke very effect.â€" {ively in French and English. A. G.| |Staght made a fine impression on the big crowd by his able presentation of ‘| his case. Pr. J. A. Mcinnis, the mayor ‘| of Timmins, presided at the meeting. | In connection with St. Anthony‘s |Church at. Timmins, the Ladies Of ! Charity society was formed twenty years ago to help the poor of the parish. |The Advance pointed out at the time ‘| that the parish took in more territory " and included more people than was ‘| generally recognized, and it was ‘in= ‘avoldable that within its toundaries ‘| there should occasionally: be case. Of ‘\| distress, iliness, poverty and hardship. The purpose of the Ladies of Charity was to search out such cases and have: the means ready for their instant reâ€" lief. There would be no cases of sufferâ€" * l ing, privation or illness go unattended, the Ladies of Charity determined. The following were the officers elected :â€" | president, Mrs. H. Charlebois; viceâ€" s | president, Mrs. A. F. ‘Carriere; secâ€" ‘retary-treasu'rer. Mrs. M. <~Nagle â€"It Jqshould be noted here that for several. â€"| years the Ladies of Charity did a wonâ€" elaerful work in Timmins and . their 1| services were not only of advantage to s| those whom the organization :was de« â€"| signed to assist but also the community ilin general. On several occasions The {| Advance has taken opportunity to refer: flto the splendid work of the Ladies of. .| Charity in town and district, When e| the town organized its relief department. lland asked for the coâ€"operation of all slother relief organizations to prevent n | overlapping the Ladies of Charity felt n| that the field was being covered and n 0 r) their work was discontinued as an Or= ganization though as individuais they. did much to make the way of the ill or the unfortunate less difficult. â€"| With spring in the air twenty years d|ago The Advance noted the millinery a| opening at the parlours of Miss L. Malâ€" â€"| tais, Third avenue, where large crowds e| of the ladies of the district were gathâ€" it| ered daily to see the fine display of {,| modish headwear. Twenty years ago people h were much interested in political matters, a byâ€"election being in progress in this riding which then comprised all of the The first annual meeting of the St. Anthony‘s Girls‘ Altar Society was held in the new separate school on Monday evening, March 29th, 1920, and was well attended. The following officers were elected by acclamation:â€"Rev. :C. E.. Theriault to remain in office as chapâ€" lain; Miss Dorais, president, to succeed Miss Ratchford; Miss L. Poitras, viceâ€" president, to succeed Miss L. Campeau;. Miss E. McCann, to fill the office of: secretary, held by Miss K. Power for the year 19190; Miss G. Poulin, treasurer, to succeed Miss Pitre; Miss Mary Donovan,: recording secretary, to succeed Miss M1 A. Ryan. , The Advance twenty years ago kept up interest in the T. N. O, service. The Advance noted in its issue of March 3ist, 1920, that a "much imâ€" proved service is promised on the T. N. O. The National is to run daily; Numbers 46 and 47, daily, except Sunâ€" day, and Numbers 1 and 2 daily, except Sunday. This will mean three trains a day each way on the main ling, with connections on this branch for each of them. The Montreal train will come. through to Timmins. If the T. N. O. will sée to proper accommodation at Porquis Junction, some betterment of the restaurants and dining car service on the Toronto trains, the promised sixâ€"trainâ€"aâ€"day service will be generally approved." j Speaking of the train service, The Advance described the Grand ‘Trunk service south of North Bay as "comâ€" pletely on the blink," and "actually worse than anything yet said about the T. N. O." That was about the worst The Advance could say about railway twenty years ago. Times change and the T. N. O. service has certainly changed. Twenty years ago a very largely signed petition was forwarded to the Government asking for a dock at Mattagami. In referring to the matter The Advance gave a summary of the business on the river showing how im« portant proper docking facilitiee were to the settlers, the business men, the power companies and the lumber firms. One of the editorials in The Advance of March 31st, 1920, starts off as folâ€" lows: â€" "Once in a long while The Advance makes a mistake, just to show that it is human,. but nearly always it is somebody else‘s fault. There was an example of this in last. week‘s issue when in the list of donors of cash ‘to the Porcupine Dog Race event, the Hollinger Minés Stores was set down as giving $5.00 Of course, this was an. error. Instead of the "H. ‘M. Storés" the $5 should have been credited to "H. M. Stevens." If Vincent Woodbury had been as good a writer as he is a booster for the dog race and a canvasâ€" ser for worthy causes the error would not have occurred. Unfortunately, howâ€" ever, Mr. Woodbury‘s "V‘s" look like ten spots, his "t‘s" teeter most diaboliâ€" cally and some of his "I‘s" appear to be suffering from singed â€" eyebrows. Accordingly The Advance accepts Mr. Woodbury‘s apologies in advance, knowâ€" ing that his sense of humour will stand ‘him in good stead at this moment."

Hunter returned Thursday from Fort Albany on James~ Bay, the most ‘northerly poll in the. Province. In his !capacity of deputy returning officer, it |was his job to set out several days Ibefore voting and set up a poll at Fort lAlbany for the benefit of Hudson‘s Bay Company ‘employbes, priests of the Catholic Mission and all others not in receipt of Indian tréaty money. _ Alex Hunter Returns from Fort ~Albany, Most.: Nor« therly Poll in Ontario. With histeam of five dogs and 250 pounds of (supplies .and> equipment, Hunter left:. Moosonee for the dash across the lonely country. Terrific storms impeded progress of the guide and he was forced to stop when a 70â€" mile an hour wind lashed at him and his sturdy dogs, The biting cold froze his cheeks and today he exhibited a livid raw scar on hisâ€"chin, a memento of his battle against the elements, When the storm subsided, Hunter reâ€" sumed his journey and arrived in Fort Albany in time to set up his poll and appoint #l1â€"yearâ€"Old Ernie Moore as his poil clerk. . The poll remained open all day and the results were radiced by Catholic priests to Moosonee and relayâ€" ed to Cochrane. The return journey was less difficult than the outgoing one. Rev F.J.
