McCracken, superintendent of the Children's Aid Society, who, in the course of his travels throughout the district encountered one family in Savard Township in practical- ly destitute circumstances. They had comé recently to the district from a point not far south of North Bay, where they had ap- parently failed to make good on the land, and were trying out Temiskaming. This family were found to be without proper cloth- ing, with practically no food and with little or no means of obtain- It isa relief, ing the necessities of life clear case of government Mr. McCracken says. This seems to be hardly a solu- tion of the unemployment prob- lem. It won't improve matters greatly to move people from one section to another, unless there is a reasonable chance for them to better their circumstances. There is the fact to be consid- ered that they have come to a more rigorous climate for one thing, and also that they have been located in aAcomparatively new section of the country, where they will probably en- counter greater difficulties than in their former home. It is not clear that they were placed in this district under the "back-to- the land" movement, but even if they came on their own initiative there should be some supervision and some reasonable chance that they will get through the first winter at least. It is said that the family in question is composed of the par- nts anc, several partly grown shildren and that they are 'good spirits, in spite of, fier a - most destitute circumstances, and hoping to make a home for themselves in the district. They have already received some as- sistance from government sources alone, as they have settled in un- organized territory, but present prospects are that they will have a hard winter. As we said before, there is need for a rigid examination of all cases where people are attempt- ing to establish themselves on the land in the North, particular- ly at this time of the year. How They Would Settle the Railway Problem Since the published summaries of the report of the Royal Com- mission which investigated the Canadian railway situation, there have been some interesting opin- ions expressed in the press and some ingenious suggestions made towards a solution of the whole problem. Among these we note two which appeared in newspap- ers of the North Country last week, and which are given as a partial solution of the situation as it affects this section of the country. But--they are diamet- rically opposed to each other! On the one hand, the Porcu- pine Advance recommends that the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway take over the Canadian National line from Cochrane to Nakina, extending its service to include that section and thus ensuring that the towns and settlments along the line would be given a reasonable ser- vice, something which it is held they are not receiving at present. On the other hand, we have the Cochrane Northland Post gravely suggesting that it might be , an opportune time for the Canadian National Railways to absorb the T. & N. O. and asserting that, if it were assured that the same good service would be given on the lines of the later road, it would support the project. Both these newspapers are more intimately acquainted with the section of the C.N.R. where it is claimed that the service has been very inadequate since the re-routing of the Continental Limited last a than we are in s part of tl Country, a he best remedy, but we venture to say that the project suggested by the Advance will meet with the most favor in any section of the territory served by the T. & N.O. We would all much rather see the railway which we have come to look upon as our own, branching out, than to listen to any project its absorption by the larger transportation system, even if both are publicly owned. We surely don't want to have Ontar- io's own railway, the only one in the country which has held its own during the depression, sad- dled with the enormous debt of the National system, although we may have every confidence in Geo. Lee's ability to shoulder the burden. We'll back the Porcu- pine Advance in this, even if the Northland Post is situated at the for very junction of the two rail- ways. We don't know much about railroading, but we do know something about the people of the North Country. And Don't Forget " 3y Royal Proclamation, the people of Canada are urged to observe the week commencing October 9th as Fire Prevention Week. In the most emphatic manner they are asked to correct those conditions which lead to our immense annual de- struction, of created wealth and human life. At the present crit- ical period in our National life, the vital importance of using every effort to curtail the fire waste of Canada cannot be ques- tioned." So says the Department of In- surance of the Federal Govern- ment at Ottawa. So say we all. 3ut will we pay any attention to the urging of those in authority? Will we this year, which marks the tenth anniversary of our own big disaster, do just a little to- wards eliminating the danger that still lurks within our bor- ders? Will we take stock during next week and do what we can towards making our own homes and premises just a little safer? Quoting again from the De- partment's circular, we have the following as showing plainly the great havoc that the fire fiend plays in our national life: "In the year 1931, there were ni le loss of $47;120,000. That however, was not the total cost of fire." To it must be added the incidental cost of insurance pro- tection and the cost of maintain- ing municipal fire departments repor ted 49,284 fires with a ae which" and water supplies for fire ex- tinguishing. Including these items, Canada last year incurred an unproductive expenditure of over $100,000,000 through fire, or roughly $200 for every minute to) the year. Capitalized at five per cent. this represents the gigantic sum of over $2,000,000,000 which is only a little less than our national debt. If devoted to programmes of constructive ef- fort instead of being wastefully dissipated, such a sum would go far towards the amelioration of many of the social and economic ills from which we are suffering at the present time." Brewer's Warehouse Moved to Building on Railway Siding The Brewers' Warehouse which for several years past has been located in the Broadway Theatre building, was moved over the week-end to the building owned by J. A. Langlois, on the siding at the T. & N. O. Railway yards, a short distance south of Main Street. Mr. Langlois has discon- tinued his wholesale grocery business there and C. H. Liddicot who conducts the brewers' ware; house, has concluded that the location on the railway will greatly facilitate the handling of the products, besides providing a much more commodious and pleasant place in which to do business. It eliminates cartage to a large extent and is fully as convenient for the public. Contractors Doubt Quality of Pipe in New Water Line Holding that the pipe furnished by the National Iron Works of Toronto, for the new water line between the Haileybury reser-' voir and Constance Lake, was not of a good quality, members of the firm of McNamara Bros. Construction Co., met a repre- sentative of the Iron Works in a| conference in town yesterday to argue the question. There hav: been a lar ge number of breaks i the line, discovered when it was) tested by turning in the water from the lake, the responsibility for which rests between the tw: firms, so far as the town is c cerned. At the meeting yeste h F e in t who made the sue of the wa- ter project last year, was present. How the matter was settled has so far not been made public. the joy of LOW an outlay.

' OR: WeREtie N)rane scarfying through Hard Times Dance Raises Fund for Children's Shelter Mr. John R. McCracken, local superintendent for the Children's Aid Society, was pleasantly sur- prised a few days ago, when he was handed the sum of $18.70 for the Children's Shelter in Hailey- bury, by Mrs. Borden of Heaslip. The fund had been raised through the medium of a "Hard Times Dance" held in that village under the auspices of the Women's In- stitute. This was the first dona- tion from an out-of-town organ- ization for a considerable time, Mr. McCracken says, and _ the money was particularly welcome at this time, with the winter fast approaching and many of the children needing warmer cloth- ing. Two cars of ore were shipped from mines at Cobalt during the week ending Sept. 30th, accord- ing to the statement issued by the T. & N.O. Railway. The Mining Corporation shipped one, with 80,536 pounds, and the O'Brien the other, with 82,000 pounds. During the same period a car was shipped by the Miller Lake O'Brien, from Elk Lake, which contained 74,101 pounds of ore.
