The speaker then went on to show how each loan raised had helped the United Nations to be on the road to Victoryâ€"Libya, Tunisia, Sicily and now Italy, and soon the European fortress itself. "Your money had has a share in each of these battles." "FPaith and a promise was all we had in the early phases of the war, but by our splendid loan campaigns, the things we hoped for | have come true.

Now it is cuarters at bench at Trenton, the picture having the caption: "Learning woodcarving, under expert instructors, this Airwoman is shown putting the finishing touches on a breakfast tray at Trenton crafts shop." The picture was so good that there was no difficulty in recognizing the young lady in the photo as L.A.W. Dorothy Marriott, of Timmins. Frends here will be pleased to know that L. A. W. Dorothy Marriott has been transferred from Trenton to Headâ€" ttawa.

The guest speaker said he must first congratulate the District of Cochrane for its magniâ€" ficent work in the four previous Victory Loans, and especially the great showâ€" ing of the fourth loar., when they went well over their objective. "As chairman of the province of Ontario War Finâ€" ance Committee, which consists of 61 units, this is the first time I have had the pleasure of visiting here, and I now Mr. Ennis, in his remarks as master of ceremonies, touched on the total needed, $1,200,000,000, and the extra sum of $200,000,000. He spoke on inâ€" flation. "We must save those extra dolâ€" lars to beat this menace . . . I do not believe this war is nearly over. Hitler has 300 divisions of crack troops in his European Fortress and he‘s going to be a hard nut to beat." were among the remarks of Mr. Ennis. He thanked the many New Canadians present, and urged them to buy all the Bonds they could, "because they will guarantee the happiness and security of your childâ€" ren," he said. "I do not believe your children will want to return to their homelands after the war. The skating club here is a splendid example of how well all children mix and it is up to us to see that this condition continues after the war." Mr. Ennis then introâ€" duced the guest speaker, Mr. D‘Arcy Leonard. The host Mr. R.:J. Ennis was‘thanked time and again for his generosity in providing this manner of getting toâ€" gether on the big job of the Home Front. Mayor Emile Brunette welcomed those from out of the district and said that he was sure Timmins would again go the top".

This is the third such affair, under his direction and this one topped them all. The banâ€" quet provided was of a very high stanâ€" dard. The address of the principle speaker, Mr. D‘Arcy Leonard (chairman of the War Finance Committee of the Province of Ontario), was a real treat, and to put the whole event over the top, all reporting committees showed quotas reached and topped for the 33 and 1â€"3 per cent. of time elapsed of the drive.

Fidele was tempnted to throw in his hand and ‘go south, but it was the fituher that urged him to try again; the governâ€" Disaster "The fire demon glared twice at the intruders, and struck hard the second time. The Bradette farm came through the 1911 fire with its buildings intact, but in 1916 all buildings, two houses and two barns and machinery were destroyed; fifteen dairy cows died and the family escaped with their lives by lying down between the potato rows. "This story, however, principally conâ€" cerns the second son, Fidele. With his father he slashed the first trees in the green bush. His father ill, he pushed forward the work of clearing and culâ€" tivating. The older man died in 1923, one of the first victims of the typhoid fever epidemic, but for a number of years before that Fidele had been the maker of the farm. "Gedeon Bradette came North in 1909, when there was no road to the site of his future homestead, and in fact hardâ€" ly a street in the town of Cochrane. Sixteen years before he had ventured forth from a farm home in Baie St. Paul, Que., worked for four years in a Montreal factory, then returned to the farm and for about a dozen years lived at L*Annonciation, Que. A friend sugâ€" gested that he come to Cochrane, and he came; prepared to tackle green bush and whip it into a farm. There were nine in the family, Mr. and Mrs. Bradâ€" ette, four sons and three daughters; but there was no equipment. In recent weeks The Cochrane Northâ€" land Post has been running a very inâ€" terezsumg and valuable series of articles reviewing the achievements of successâ€" ful farmers in this area. ‘On occasion The Advance has hadâ€"special articles on farms in this vicinity, but no6thing like the Cochrane series has been atâ€" tempted. Indeed, The Adanvce believes that the series is unique in many ways, and certainly to be commended, not only for their general interest, but for the encouragement given to farming and the value ito the country from the standpoint of history. The fifth in the series has so much of interest to Adâ€" vance readers that it is‘ given in full herewith :â€" Bradette Family Made Farm in Spite of Fire and Disease "To start with nothing, to make a little progress, then to be knocked out twice by fire and disease; to be able to look out thirtyâ€"four years later upon aâ€"farm of 200 acres under,cultivation with a dairy herd of two dozen good anâ€" imals â€" such a record says much both for the family that made it and the country that has seen it.

Bradette Family Built Farm in North Despite Fires andOtherHandicaps MMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28TH, 1943 "‘*Buildings include the good house, stable and barn, grain and tool shop, milk house, pig house, ice house. Imâ€" plements include tractor, plough, disc, seeder, grinder, mower, raker, hay loadâ€" er, binder, three wagons, halfâ€"ton "For about twenty years the Bradette milk was sold directly to the public; for about five years it has been pasteurâ€" ized and sold through a dairy plant â€" but this enterprising farmer comes back into the picture at the finish. The family holds the contract for the disâ€" tribution of all the dairy‘s output to consumers in town, using their own truck for the purpose. "The original farm was Lot 17 in Conâ€" cession 5, Glackmeyer. Later Lot 18, Conc. 4, was bought, and then the lot across the road. The original lot was sold. In the two lots there are about 200 acres under cultivation. This spring a third lot â€" 19 in Conc. 2, â€" was purchased. About twenty acres has been broken and a barn erected. It is nearer the town, and it is the inâ€" tention to move to it eventually. "On the home farm, there was about forty acres in oats this year â€" all for threshing; none will be kept as green feed. There are eight acres in barley, one in wheat, one peas, one potatoes (Chippewas). The grain yield has been better than normal, and about a hunâ€" dred and fifty tons of hay have been harvested, â€" better than average, and more than sufficient for their own feed requirements. "Milk and potatoes are the chief inâ€" come producers. At present about six 90â€"lb. cans a day are being shipped. Value of the potato crop varies; top was reached in one recent year with a $1200. sale. There is some additional income from surplus animals and in the last couple of years hay has ‘been sold.

The Third Try "Toâ€"day there are twentyâ€"three cows and a herd bull, five horses, three pigs, about seventyâ€"five hens‘and a hundred chickens.
