the acton free press acton ontario thursday aucuat sth 19541 we travelled north beck at the desk again and the week s holiday this year took the editor on a trip as far north as klrkland lake ii s some 15 years since we visited the mining town or city of kirktand lake which is actually still considered a township with a popula tion shown as 19000 at that time we recall that mining productivity was calculated in terms of 25 years we heard no estimates on prospects of this city now but it seems pretty much more settled and modemiied in those 15 years which have elapsed and little evidence of running out we travelled by tram 15 years ego today fine highways make the four hundred mile jaunt into the north a lovely drive the development of the north has profited from the experience of the south of the province mom highways by pass the large centres and miles have been cul off by straight roads and the tedious trips to go down the main thoroughfares of the large centres such as barrte onllia and north bey klrkland lake stilt has five producing mines within its limits new methods of mining have kept the properties active one mine we learned was processing again in its mill refuse which had been discarded in earlier years and getting a profitable recovery from what was considered re fuse in earlier days of mining when home pro perties are sold in this mining town the mineral rights of theland do not go with the purchase much of the city is already mined beneath the residential and business properties mining towns give no inkling of having been planned the streets seem to have no regular sense of direction and the surfaces follow the direction of the rock outcroppmgs or the path of least resistance perhaps cobalt is the outstanding example of a typical mining community ever changing we recall that about eight years ago we travel led through cobalt mining at that time in that community was at a low ebb since that time silver and cobalt particularly have again been found profitable the result is that cobalt is quite an active centre once more and has moved out of the deserted village category on that same trip we visited a factory in which wooden matches were being produced it was eight years ago a going concern today the plant is boarded up we suppose lighters and book matches are re sponsible for this change who knows however but what it may flourish again if pipe smoking again becomes popular every mining town has its failures as well as its successes and the abandoned shafts mingle with those which have mined for several years and are still profitable the development of roads is playing a big part in stabilizing the whole mm ing section for instance larder lake which hesn t as many producers as it had a few years ago is only a few miles from virgmiatown where the largest pro ducer in canada dominates the mining activity folks from larder lake haven t changed their place of residence but commute the few miles each day to and from work just as we in the southern part commute to industry school districts are big and buses travel in many directions to take pupils to school m larger centres kirkland lake high school has an enrol ment of over 1 100 pupils and a staff of over 40 teachers school expansion problems are in the far north too but consolidations seem to fill the reed best where such a wtde area must be serv ed and the mining activities follow the land that is most productive vacation and beauty going north we chose the most d red route returning we came down through the haliburton d strict matter of fact there isn t much choice of routes after one goes beyond north bav bu all of them are a vastness of natural beauty to make this vacat onland attract ve tc the fam k man roadside tables and picnic spots maintained by the highways department an plentiful and judgma bv he use ver much appreciated we ve never been b ireland s lakes and dells or seen the highlands and lowlands of scotland of which scottish people are so proud we ve seen only a small sample of the thousands of lakes and dells which dot northern ontario some day more poets and song writers will let loose on the in spiration that can be secured in this vast expanse of land where the deer ihe bears and beaver and moose roam and if it has the right rhythm and ust half tells the word story canadians will have native songs that will be heard the world round but canada is a young country and it takes time for even canadians to get about it and then there are so few of us we suppose ki harneys lakes end dells and scotlands loch lomond will hold supremacy for some years in songs morning inspiration going north it was afternoon before we head ed into the heart of the north coming home we started m the early morning right in the midst of the north the time of day makes a difference in your ability to appreciate beauty mid afternoon is warm and one is liable to be travel weary in the morning travel is light one can slow up and take in the beauty of acres of white water lilies the lazy smoke of breakfast fires comes from the camping areas well concede humans aren t quite so attractively attired but the lakes and the woods have a freshness that disappears later in the day even in the light ram in which we travelled down through hah burton the morning journey is the fmest for appreciation by noon the highways were getting cluttered as streams of cars loaded with families camping material or boats all seem ed pushing each other along into the north on tario s shortage of highways is on weekends and holidays perhaps the answer is in mid week travel when it can be arranged but present hours of work are nofjeadmg m that direction there are of course those early morning hours e spoke of which seem to be fairly open for highway travel and without a doubt are the finest time of day to enjoy nature it is quite apparent that the season in canada s north can not be lengthened and summer travel of july and august are bound to be peaks reading bmtw n ttw tiwi everything from love to tragedy contained in todays comics then tlm by hartley colea when ihp nsirii rl fun m iniinli nad them in kit n imitlli

looking back to the 30 years or so since we first went north to fish we ust cannot resist a bit of recollecting on the changes which ifreshment oututs have come about in these few years many of our friends with whom we shared brush beds and mosquito infested cabins now have cottages with every modern convenience motor boats have taken the place of the leaky rowboats and canoes from which one emerged with every muscle aching our first trip to sun dndge saw the highway only as far as huntsville and from there on dirt roads around the protrud ing rocks they ve still left some rocks but they don t protrude as far electric power has come to most every resort but some things are still in the same wild state es 30 years ago the mosquitoes are ust as plentiful the black flies take just as healthy a bite as ever and the blueberries grow ust as prolific in every burnt over section we haven t tried the fishing in some years but we are told some nice catches are being made and lakes and streams are stocked regularly other papers say teachers check off proposals get nc sympathy horn the turo da ly news we are of the op n on that a union m which the members are not sufficiently
