Henry, Premier and Minister of Education, an essay contest for cash prizes totalling $200 is now being held among the school children of the Prov- ince as part of Canada's celebra- tion of the fiftieth anniversary of her nickel industry. : "What Nickel Means to Can- ada" is the subjeet upon which all pupils in the day sessions of the high, continuation and voca- tional schools in this Provinee are invited to write in compe- tition for a first prize of $100. a second prize of $50 and: two additional prizes of $25 each. The International Nickel Com- pany of Canada, Ltd. is offering these prizes. Napier Moore, editor of Mans Lean's Magazine; Brigadier Gen- eral Charles H. Mitchell, CB, C.M.G., Dean of the Faculty. of Applied Science and Engineer- ing at Toronto University, and Dr. C. W. Drury, chairman of the Toronto branch of the Cana- dian Institute of Mining & Metallurgy, will serve as judges. The Department of Education has issued a memorandum to-the appropriate school authorities, announcing the contest an ing its terms. The preamble to this announcement reads: "During the past twenty- five years, the Ontario mining indus- try has attracted world- wide. at- tention. The output of the var- jous mines has increased in vol- ume by many millions. Today. the production of the mines in Northern Ontario places Ontario among the foremost countries of the world. Eighteen eighty-three, fifty years ago, saw the commence- ment of the Nickel industry in Ontario. This year, Ontario cele- brates the Jubilee. With a view of fixing interest in nickel and its uses, and to promoting a knowledge of the nickel indus- try, the International Nickel Company has offered to institute an essay competition among the pupils of the High, Continuation and Vocational Schools of the Province. "The Honourable Ceorge S. Henry, Premier and Minister of Education, is in full sympathy with the proposed competition and recommends it to the favor- able consideration of Boards of Trustees and the principals of the schools concerned." 5 A similar contest is being or- Banized in cooperation with the Department of Education of the Provinee of Quebec.

KENORA | (Continued from Page 1) hopefulness, for even in these times "they can see their dreams pecoming realities. ¥* ow » ] The opening of the motor road from Winnipeg to Kenora last year was an- event of treniendous mportance. It "was the: fulfil- ment of a dream. And all through the past Winter Kenora hag watched: a road to the east- ward shaping up. Two thousand men, housed in great camps in groups of 'approximately 150 cach, built a good road through the great wilderness country ly- ing cast of Kenora. ' One day '1 Winter in com- pany with "D: Davidson, presi- dent of the Kenora Board of Trade; Joseph 'P. BEarngey, news- paperman of Kenora, a former member of the Ontario Legisla-|. ture, and Royal Smith, 'of the Northern Development Company, the. writer visited some of these village camps. It was a day too cold for work. - The men were inside, writing letters, playing cards, patching and mending, otherwise occupying their time around big glowing stoves in which were: burning three- foot logs of wood. They were practically all very young men, unemployed, who had been picked up in one part of the country or another and offered these jobs, which carried little more than tobacco money and of course good food and comfortable lodgings. On the lake below the camp a first- class hockey rink had been con- structed, and each camp along the way had its hockey team. 1 didn't see them in action, but they told me the hockey was of high calibre. = The boys were 'hard as nails from their outdoor 'of hard and fast hockey. #® NB This road east of Kenora, a bard-surfaced, well-constructed road, is in effect a continuation For miles Kenora. a hundred more it will pass through exact- 'ly the same kind of country-- forest land, with a lake every other mile or so. Eventually it will be. the main highway to Eastern Canada. : Kenora's great asset, of course, is Winnipeg's as well. This Summer Winnipeg people, as they start eastward, will after driving fifty miles, come to a land of birch and pine and rock and steam and lake that will continue to Kenora and a hun- "dred miles or more beyond the Lake of the Woods. One of the world's finest playgrounds will be easily available to everyone in Winnipeg with a car. Already this year Ontario cars are coming into Winnipeg in considerable number. By next Summer there will be a constant flow of traffic back and forth across the boundary line. Kenora will benefit. So will Winnipeg. It is easy to foresee the time when tens of thousands of motor- ists in search of pleasure and recreation will be visiting Win- nipeg and Kenora on their way to and from this great .play ground region. The value of the tourist industry then will be reckoned not in millions, but in tens of millions. ---M.

CATTY COMPETIT'N Canadian cats had better look to their laurels. From the British West Indies comes a report that a dozen mon- gooses were sent recently to a woman in London, England, who trained them to catch rats, with such success that she now der- ives $1,500 per annum from their activities. The mongoose is supposedly of East Indian origin. In size it compares with a cat. Through- out the "eastern group' of is- lands visited by the Canadian National liners, mongooses are well known as intrepid snake- killers and intelligent house pets. The London woman got her mongooses in Trinidad, which is near Tobago, the supposed refuge Foe (In The Old Ladies' Silk Scarves at - Ladies' Berets at Misses' and Ladies' Rayon Faney Rayons, per yard at English Fast Color Prints, ~ Foulards at length at 1... ove y, Men's Caps at TO MAKE YOUR DEPRESSED | CLOTHING DOLLAR GO FARTHER CALL AT Morton's Clothing Store PEER IR I IY Men's Balbriggan Underwear, 2 piece at 'Men's Balbriggan Combinations, short sleeves, ils 8 oz.
