The needs of the} Legion for such funds are great-| er this year than ever, and the local branch is therefore making | arrangements for an campaign to have every citizen wear a poppy on Remembrance intensive | Day, which has now been set a- side, on November 11th, as a na-} tional holiday in honor of the} signing of the Armistice in 1918. | Poppy Day was founded in land by the late rl Haig, vi saw in it a means of helping the disabled veterans who make the poppies in the Vetcraft shops | and of raising funds to take care of distressed veterans.

COMMISSIONER MEETS PROVINCIAL OFFICERS FOR ANNUAL REVIEW Gen. V. A. S.

They come from Hearst on the north and from Sturgeon Falls at the other extreme of the district and will spend the required period of about a day and a night in Hail-| eybury and will then return to| their respective stations. Although in past years the| force has assembled in Hailey- bury for the annual review, this is the first time that they have come here to the headquarters. | It is Inspector Creasy's first op- portunity of meeting all the men under his command since his| transfer here from Kitchener a} few weeks ago, when he changed places with Inspector Moore. to| WALTER VIDLER MAKES__if RICH GOLD STRIKE IN CRIPPLE CREEK MINE| A local friend of Walter Vidler, | a former Northern mining man, received recently a copy of a| newspaper from Cripple Creek, | Colorado, containing news of a| particularly rich gold strike made| by Mr. Vidler and his associates in the Cresson mine there, which they hold under lease. It is stated that the ore assays over ten dollars per pound and is being sacked by the lesees. The extent of the ore body had' not been de- termined, but it was said to be widening with additional work. The strike was made on the 8th level of the mine, where it was the intention to drive a drift, as no ore was in sight ,but the first round of shots uncovered the high grade streak. Many former associates of Mr. Vidler in this district will be in- terested in hearing of his success in the far-famed Cripple Creek country. ; The town of Kapuskasing has passed a by-law providing that all milk sold within the corpora- tion shall be pasteurized. to the value of about $80,000 a month, at an operating profit, and it is confidently expected | that this rate of production will be increased in the near future.

Canada's Gold Mines Are Making Great Progress (Continued from Page 1) Hughes and Kirkland Lake gold mines indicate that it is still too to attempt to predict the time when that camp will have reached the peak of its produc- tion. Recent work on the Ma- cassa at the western end of the field is said to have yielded pro- mising results and prospects ap- pear bright for a return to the productive class of the Tough- Oakes-Burnside mine at its east- ern end. Outside the Kirkland Lake and the Porcupine camps the largest gold producer in Northern On- tario is the Howey mine, in the Red Lake area, near the western boundary of the province. This mine, after meeting with some difficulties, is now producing gold soon are now in operation on the Min- to and on the adjoining Parkhill mines, the Minto mill having started operations in March, 1931 and the Parkhill about three months later. ; Another gold mine in North- western Ontario that has been resuscitated and is now approach- ing the productive stage is the Moss mine, about 80 miles west of Port Arthur. After lying idle for 40 years, it was re-opened in 1925, since when, under the pre- sent owners, sufficient ore has been developed to warrant the installation of a 100-ton cyanide mill. The Matachewan district, about 40 miles west of Kirkland Lake, where gold was found as early as 1916, and which was the scene of considerable activity between 1922 and 1926, has lately again! been brought into prominence by new discoveries made late in 1930, in Bannockburn Township. Here the Mining Corporation of Canada have developed a mine in the Ashley property that it is con- 4 The LETTER BOX } Judge, Ont. Oct. 14th, 1931 To the Editor Haileyburian, Haileybury, Ont. Dear Sir :- Perhaps the experiences of a settler who came to the North Country and settled upon a lot in the White River area, Township of Casey some twenty one years ago, may prove of interest to your readers. Everyone in Tem- iskaming or pretty nearly every- one knows Andrew Westberg "Old Andy", but quite a few don't know what he has been through during this length of time. After settling on the banks of the White River, the lot being little better than a forest, and clearing one hundred acres of land and building a house and barns, all of which were destroyed by the great fire, and having his insur- ance all taken in payments of ac- counts due for machinery, he again succeeded in building up duction in 1932. A small mill was also in opera- tion during the year on the old Croesus mine, in Munro Town- ship, about nine miles east of the town of Matheson. Promising new gold discoveries made recently in areas, previous- ly known to be gold-bearing, are reported from Red Lake near the Howey mine; from Beardmore and Little Long Lake, northeast of Port "Arthur, and from Swayze Township, lying between the Canadian Pacific and Cana- dian National Railways, about 125 miles northwest of Sudbury. In addition to the markedly favorable effects which low com- modity prices and, more recently, the premium on gold has already produced on the Canadian _ gold- mining industry, still further far- reaching advantages are to be anticipated. Many gold mine ex- ecutives, in order to take full ad- vantage of present conditions, are preparing to embark imme- diately on programs of expansion involving large capital expendi- tures that would otherwise not have been undertaken until some time in the future. The effects of such expansion on the gold- mining industry will persist long, after the immediate incentives to its undertaling have ceased to exist."

Bad as his experiences were during the struggle to farm, pres- ent day conditions are even worse. What little roadwork is to be had is apparently only for a few select, as application to the road foreman indicates. To start with most of the jobs are small, engaging only a few friends and invariably the road foreman is enabled to fill up with his own family and teams, but is unable to give a poor settler work or even an odd days work to a re- turned soldier. Possibly if the writers of newspapers were will- ing to make a visit to each job and ascertain the name and na- tionality of the men working and afterwards visit those adjacent residents and enquire the reasons why they have not been given work, it would form the basis of one of the most interesting of newspaper articles. "Old Andy" is one of those not employed de- spite the fact that one foreman is drawing eighteen dollars per day as a result of the way he has been enabled to grab the work oS oung en / "Bond Street" Shoes are styled and priced for yOU ACK'S $10."Bond Street" shoe enables you to enjoy the smart style, thorough comfort, and enduring wear for which Dack's are internationally famous.

Is it not time for the govern- ment to step in and give a real shaking up to the roads manage- ment and see to it that a fair dis- tribution of the work is made. What was meant when the goy- ernment /proclaimed that every man would be given a job? Will the newspapers printed in the north not take up the cause of those who are suffering such an injustice. Let every writer sent out pay "Old Andy" a visit at Judge, Ont., where he now re- sides and believe me they will be given the facts in detail. What applies here is no doubt true in many other cases. Perhaps the foreman could explain his rea- sons or his instructions if any, for refusing employment to many of the settlers who have been (heads of families), and giving some others who are not in need. Andrew thinks that he perhaps will not have to hold out for so long and he pities others who may have longer to live. He is already a great grandfather and even if road jobs are scarce will battle to the bitter end in an ef- fort to keep the wolf from the door, although he sometimes ap- proaches so near that his howls would make ones hair stand on end. He will stand all alone to- the last dog is hung even in the midst of those who are deter- mined not to give him a chance and, who are not of his tongue or faith.
