from the north we spent a few days last week tn northern ontario attending a newspaper convention theiwere many tyhgmatjnjs to -make- and manychanges to be noted from a similar trip to find time therell be more about this but ere we overlook it we want to bring the message that folk in the north sent by way of us the terror of this great northland is the bush fire time and time again this was impressed upon us wherever one goes the sections can be spotted where fire ravaged everything in thaf locality there are monuments of desolation in every part oldtimers in this district will tell you of how many lives were lost and the attempts made to flee before the inferno of a bush fire we in this section have no conception of the horrors of such conflagration such destruct ion nnd such suffering that enn he caused by a bush fire and so we bring back this message from our northern trip to those v ho will he spending acations in this holiday land when you arc asked to bl careful with the fires vou light and see that the are extinguished do as vou are asked don t drop a match carclessh until you arc sure it is extinguished the horror by northerners of the bush tire is born of the ex perience of these splendid folks who hue chos in northern ontario as their home the know too well the miserv and suffering which follows the bush fire they realize the fututy of tring to stop them on holidays do as they ask vou and be careful of fires pace with those paid for products where the price of the product rises but ontnrios min ing towns arc busy even cobalt is feeling that optimism of the future and getting n self- assurance that it will again be reckoned ns a producer of high rank these towns and cities have fine buildings and good homes it is hard to conceive of anything but a continuance of good industry and development after all northern ontario is young in its development it should have more generations of growth and expansion of its vast resources the reds hae done it before there should be no complncencv the fin ancial post comments editonall over the fact that in the ontario election and the three re cent federal by elections the socialists muster ed less than a third of the popular vote with far less support than that there have been plenty of world examples where totalitarian parties were able to smother all resistance there is onh one wa to meet this divide and rule threat of the socialists it will not be met hv out promising them the average canadian does not expeet or want socialism from the non ccf parties of canada but he does expect something that the ccf cannot possibly offer that is freedom to develop his own individual initiative to live his own life to make his own future give him that instead ol regimentation with its crushing taxation and ht will scorn socialism young and uroad of v imon ten vears ago when we visited northern ontario that section of this vast province was the most prosperous and had the best ratio 01 profitable employment todav mining towns are not enjoying us much prosperttv us many of the industrial centres miners wages for this rough and hazardous work are not any larger thun those paid labourers in manv other labor vocations in this section don t get the idea that the mines arc idle or there isn t plentv of optimism in these centres for the future but lust now mining aetivitv is not riding the crrst of the wave ten vears ago we setnitd to recall these towns talked in terms of twentv five vears toduv thev talk in terms of rwentv five or fortv vears of profitable exploration for valuable metals the vcars pass quicklv md the horizons dre advanced mining is big business and has advanced far from its original small beginnings ore at s so a ton is still profitable to reclaim the machine age has done much tomining as it has done to every other business the one problem seems to be that the gold price remains the same ust now when all other costs have risen hence the margin of gajn is lowered and consequently wages cannot keep industry and mnterinlh sometimes we in southern ontario are apt to think of northern ontario as largely depend ent on itsmining and pulp industry of course its tourist business is wellknown and meets the eye at every turn of the road or along a thous and lakes and rivers but last week it was pleasant to visit in new ltskcard and hailey- bury where this district has all these factors and the plus of a good farming belt and some manufacturing here the land is fertile and not the barren mineral bearing rock we visited manufacturing plants where northern ontario wood was being manufactur ed into the fittings for homes and other build ings instead of being shipped in the logs it was a modern plant in every respect the handi cap of machinery repairs at city convenience was overcome by having a compete machine and electrical repair plant as part of the equip ment the plant was next doocto itssource of raw material and equipped with the best of rglaisu etan9tpl liskcard is a far cry from the old planing mills as we knew them when a lad at the canadian splint and lumber plant the speciality is match sticks made from the log to the finished product ready for the heads the market we understand is largely in eng land and the company was quite busy these are but two of the nothern industrial plants that we saw we predict the future will see many more such where materials are close at hand people want big cars a salesman who needed a car badly recently wrote to an nuto manufacturer with a plea ex pressed by many what this country needs is a good 1018 model a when are you going to make t good cheap cir ngain according to rontld williams finnncial post writer the salesman might as well have asked for the moon car prices are up because of high tax ation md high production costs but also be cause most people want bigger better and heavier cars manufacturers insist they did not mere ise size and costs of cars in face ot public resistance thev simply filled an over whelming need for bigger cars but with an eye cocked to the future the motor industry is concentrating on developments which will make cirs cheaper to operate editorial notes once again we have folks back making reg ular calls and soliciting orders it all takes time but possibly it is a sign of a change ot the times most fathers will certainly agree that fath er s day was quite a success and a delight and glad that they share even a lesser light a month later than mothers the highway department sends out many safetw bulletins for motorists and we get reams of material urging that mechanical defects be corrected we don t recall howevej seeing any ileitis urging a correction of defects in the hum un frailities and that drivers should not patron ize government liquor outlets for safety sake it is almost remarkable how the treasury and the inghwav departments stav clear ot each other be just whv two months should need to elapse fore the tjtruirtmcnt of highwavs can make un attempt to repair irost heaved puviments is difficult to understand the worst example we know ot is on no 7 east of brampton here for tour miles iccording to the signs the neglect is terrible all that has this far been done is to have signs erected warning the tolks who pav on everv g illon thut the highwuv is in bad shope czzioizroc3otznoizz recollections ol
