It is at least clsarly recognized that, as we havs frequently pointed out in these columns Canadian mining is to a considerable extont on a salvage basis. The answer to that condition is to spsed up the s2arch for nsw deposits so that not only may the rapidly disappsaring ore measures be replaged but that postâ€" war ‘employm>nt may be found for men in the development of new mines. It is noct hard to reâ€" memkbker that mining was an important factor in bringing Canada out of the deprcession and was a life saver during the darkest aays of that poericd.

To the scarly securing Oof your 1941 license plates, you might well add the best possible disp:sition ‘of the old licens? plates. This year there is no question of what should be done with the old licgnse plates. This year they have a geonuine value, indeed, a double value. Thsy may be turned to help the war effort of Canada and at the same time help the Canadian Red Cross. The plan has been worked out by the Automotive Transport Association of Ontario with three of the major oil and the Red Cross authoriâ€" ties. In a word the plan is to utilize the old plates for war purposes. The old plates will be sold for this purpose, the money received being turn2d cver to the Red Cross. The oil companies are gathering the plates while the transport compani¢s will see to their transportation. These two servicts are being given free by the oil and the transport companies, and the money for the plates will go to the Red Gross. The Star Transfer has arrang. ed to transport the plates from Timâ€" mins and district, It is not Sut of place to repeat what The Advance said on Thursday: "Nearly fifty motor transport comâ€" panies throughout the Province of Onâ€" tario are furthering the plan by transâ€" free of charge 1940 license plates ccollected at service stations of Imperial Oil Ltd., Britishâ€"American Oil Co. Ltd. and Shell Oil Co. of Canada Ltd. Bundles of plates are being made up at nearly 100 points in Ontario and ized â€"areas for present and future purâ€" poses. Th provinces are‘naturally and equally anxious. The prospectors are vitally interested. There remains the d:velopment of a method to coâ€"ordinâ€" ate the various interests involved. It can be done.
