THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1931 PAGE NINE SETTLEMENT TIDE FLOWS WESTWARD Land Settlement Committee of Surveyors' Associa- tion Makes Report as Ottawa, Feb, 5.--"That the tide f settlement which has been lowing westwara and northward In Canada, showed no signs of tbating during the fiscal year 1929.30", was the statement of K. F. McCusker, D.L.S. in presenting the Report of the Land Settlement Committee at the annual Conven- 'ion of the Dominion Land Sur- Teyoras tion, which is being leld ia Ottawa $0day. Tle Mr. McCusker "declared. | that luring? this period 'more ~home- iteads and "soldier grants were tiled @t. the Grande Prairie and Peacev River Land Offices than in the previeus fiscal year, and that' vis keem. demand for land con- linued into the spring of 1930. West of Smoky River a whole township was settled on by a tolony of repatriated French Canadians, who had come back into Canada in a& body. A fine strip of land, some two hundred to .four hundred miles northeast of St. John in the Peace River District was located in 1927, and settlement is now ninety miles closer to that area than it was at that time. "The present tide of settle- ment," sald Mr, McCusker, *dif- ters from that of 20 years or so ago In that it is mostly made up of the surplus of boys born and brought up 'on Canadian farms." To enable gettlement to be car- ried' on in a satisfactory manner the work of the surveyor is of first importance, From the study of oblique and vertical aerfdl photo- graphs the country can be mapped and a decision can be made as to which areas are swamp' lands, timber lands, or. possible farming areas. Then the surveyor as he makes the subdivicion of those latter areas can classify the soil #0 that the prospective settler can he given full information regard- ing a suitable homestead. The present policy of coloniza- tion ig that first efforts must be directed to gettine native sons and daughters onto the land ana to exercise great care in selecting as new people only those who are likely to fit in and to succeed.

Position of Religi Dr. Johnson, in speaking of a cer tain actress, said: "Her playing is quite mechanical. It is wonderful how little mind she had. she has never read the tragedy of Mac- beth all through. She no more thought of the play out of which her part was taken than a shoemaker thinks of the skin out of which the piece of leather of which he is mak- ing a pair of shoes is cut." sir, There may have been much truth the observation of the Doctor, Ou wonders what comments the greal Doctor would hurl today upon the frozen solitudes of irreiigious mateii alism and the undisciplined fervi of religion with no thought behin it. We play a part and we do no! think it out, and because thought i: necessary to bridge the gap between ourselves and the other players, the gap is not bridged. In the individual centres a series of responsibilities--to the town, the with its own claim to loyalty. These duties are not conflicting; complementary. Mow we discharg: the duties to our own community will determine our attitude toward the larger loyalties. This larger concep tion of our duty is a necessary safe guard against parochlalism, narrow ness of view, bigotry and undue ego tism. To preserve diversity and al the same time to develop the sense it we must have some conception of the play out of which our part is taken, Today our attention {is focused upon the economic aspect of society. If only we could emerge from hard times, amass more material wealth, the winter of our discontent would be broken and the whole country again become a hive of industry. Yet it may be a matter of wisdom to re mind ourselves that what the coun try needs is not primarily more wealth, but more public-spirited eiti- zens. Anything less than this is a mere fumbling with externals. The eternal values lie in those precious possessions which neither moth nor rust doth corrupt. Wealth there is none apart from wealth of life. The higer the quality of the individual life, the higher will be the quality of our local life and of our national life. In the last resort we are al ways forced back to consideration of the individual. All progress begins there. The aim of religion--and in deed politics rightly understood--is to establish sound human relation ships, and to enable the individual to act as a worthy member of the com: munities of which he is a part. It is only by taking thought that one can add a cubit to his stature as a eitl- zen or a Christian, "Have ye understood all these things?" was the question Jesus asked the disciples after a series of teachings, They answered, yes. Ald He said unto them, "Therefore every scribe who hath been a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder; which dringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old." The seribe was welcomed because he tried to think things through. He could discover relations, significant characteristics, and see the unceasing purpose of wis dom and goodness running through the ages. The ordinary man had just sufficient penetration to read the weather for tomorrow by looking at the sky today. The south wind meant heat: the red sky fair wea- ther. But the scribe eould under stand and interpret new issues. The past lived in his memory, and the guage and arresting phrase, He would go deeper "into the secret things, always deeper.

His journey to Damascus left Christ as central to his new world as the T.aw had been to his old. He had points of contact with the Greek cul ture und sentiment which enabled ; him to adapt his message to the Greeks.

Christ is being born anew among us. Faith in Him is re celving a new vitality, a new lease ff power and prosperity through the things new and old that the scribes have brought from their treasure house. Age ofier age has asked it- self what this Son of Man might be, and age after age, after trying to call Him Poet, Prophet, Sage and Teach- er, has thrown these inadequate terms aside and has found satisfac tory only the words of Peter--""Thou art the Christ of God." The modern scribe has again proved that Jesus transcends our categories and clasai- fications; we never exhaust Him, and one element of Christian happiness is that there is always more in Him | than we suppesed.--Montreal Star, in6on- 160m bottles i | Observatory is of NAVIGATION ON HUDSON BAY Ottawa, Feb. b.--- "Navigation along the Hudson Bay route will be- come a vital interest to all Canada and especially to the prairie prov- inces with the completion of port facilities at Churchill," said R. Glenn Madill, in addressing the an- nual convention of the Dominion Land Surveyors' Association, which is being held in Ottawa today, on the subject "Magnetic work of the Dominion Observatory in Northern Manitoba and Hudson SRrait." "For the purpose of such navvi- gation," Mr. Madill said, "the mag- netic data gathered by the Dominion special impor- tance, for on account of the prox- imity of this route to the North Mag netic pole, the magnetic declination varies very rapidly." The first work of this kind to be done by the Dominion Observatory in Northern Manitoba was in the ypar 1922, when magnetic stations were established along the Hudson Bay Railway from The Pas to the end of steel, Kettle rapids, Fol- lowing this, in the same year, mux- netic stations were established along the canoe route that leads to Cochrane river and on to Nueltin lake in the barren lands north of the 60th parallel of latitude. In 1923 magnetic stations were estab- lished along a canoe route from The Pas to Churchill via Cold lake, Churchill and Seal rivers. The re- turn trip was via Hudson bay, York Factory, the Hayes river route to Norway House, and Nelson river to Landing lake and Mile 185 on the Hudson Ray Railway. The repeat stations of The Pas and Mile 200, H.B.R'Y., were re-occupled in 1927 Churchill was again visited.
