Proprietors I';, Enjoys Ihe North Ontario Government I Successful Baospiel The Advance has received a very interesting letter written py Mrs. Royden Macdonald from her home on the Albany river. ilr. and Mrs. Macdonald went there from Flesh- erton last fall and are employed by the Hydro oa the development at Rat R&pids. We quote a portion of the letter, which says; We like it up here very much and Royden likes the work. There are two power houses, both operated from the one dam. They supply power to Central Patricia, Pickle Crow and th^ Albany. The nearest to us is Central Patricia, which is about 25 miles away. The Hudson Bay Post is five miles away, we often walk over across the lake and in the summer time we go in the boat. Rat Rap- ids is situated on a neck, where the Albany river flows into Lake St. Jos- eph. We have any amount of fish to eat in the summer, white fish, Pike, Pickerel and some Sturgeon. Some sturgeon were caught just below oui house last summer that weighed 150 pounds. We get a wonderful view from our cottage. The cot- tageg are real nice and I like the people up here very much. There are only two other women besides myself and only ten people counting everybody. We, girls, go out every day either snow shoeing or hiking. I've be- come so expert on my snow shoes that I can even run now-, not so bad, eh? Skiing up here is not so good, when you find a hill it is either covered with rock or trees. The temperature has been around forty degrees below and the snow is about three or four feet deep. I have frozen by ears, cheecks and nose but of course not badly. We see lots of Indians up here." Skating Party Success The Flesherton High School held a very successful skating party on Wednesday night last, they were fav- ored with a large crowd and the ice was in good condition. The big ev- ent of the evening was the broom- ball game between the High School Has Housing Scheme Some much needed relief from the long, drawn-out wrangling over Hy- dro affairs was afforded the Legis- lature the other day when Hon. Dav- id CroU, Minister of Welfare, re- vealed that the Ontario Government has completed arrangements for a comprehensive housing scheme in the supervised municipalities of the prov- ince. For a start there will be 560 houses srected in these municipalities, the materials and labor being supplied by 1 the municipalities and the province ! paying towards the labor costs. But the scheme is not for supervised mun- â-  icipalities alone; it is open to every i municipality in the province, and it i is the government's hope that all will I take advantage of the opportunity to I build low-cost homes for working , people of moderate means. I When Mr. CroU explained the pur- I pose of his government to an attent- I ive legislature, there was no criticism I forthcoming. In fact, Wilfrid Heigh. I ington, the Conservative member for I St. David's, congratulated the Minis- I ter on the foresight and courage ofl the administration on such a plan. In Sweden and Denmark and other parts of Europe practical housing schemes have been in effect for oon- fiderable time. But on this con- tinent the idea has not taken hold except in a patchwork way. The I benefits are numerous. First of all, I it will provide work for unemployed I artisans and laborers, it will stimulate I the building industry and it will pro- j vide decent, sanitary homes for i>eo- 1 pie who need them. .Another great j advantage is that it will provide wages, not a mere dole, for thousands now on relief. The beneficial effect on the morale of the jobless will be tremendous. The government has experimented with a number of houses in York County to get an idea of cost and uitability of the types of houses con- structed. Satisfied that practical homes can be built for reasonable <ums and assured of public interest in the idea, the Minister of Welfare, proponent of the scheme from the start, has convinced his cabinet col- Fleshei-ton Curling Club held their annual bonspiel on Monday and Tues- day of this week with 17 rinks in at- tendance and some splendid games were played. The H. A. Williscroft rink from Owen Sound took first prize in the first competition with Dr. McArthur's rink from Markdale sec- ond. In the second competition the Silk rink from Shelburne won first with Wm. Braithwaite of Meaford in second place. This final game only went for eight ends by mutual agree- ment.
