Lang Tells Associates Something of Northern Ontario's Needs at Annual Meeting The following is a brief digest ofaspeech given by Col. Malcolm Lang, chairman of the T. & N.O. Railway, at the annual meeting of the Ontario Good Roads Asso- ciation, held on Thursday last in Toronto:: "At the present time Northern Ontario has 18,500 miles of-road, of which 5,200 may be designat- ed as main and secondary trunk roads. These are all loose gravel with the exception of 190 miles which are paved. Of the main and secondary trunk toads ,there are now 42! miles built to proper standar and carrying traffic that makes 'hard surfacing necessary for proper and economic mainten- ance. The early completion of this work and improvement generally of our road system in Northern _ Ontario is highly important for the encouragement of tourist traffic and for the needs of our people. Thee regulattions of motor ve- hicles in the North in 1935 was 48,000 and official estimates indi- cate that in 1936 this will in- crease to 55,000. Hard surface roads will increase this registra- tion growth with astonishing ra- pidity. i Col. Lang pointed out that On- tario's total area was 412, sq. miles with a population of 3,500,- 000, and that 350,000 people occu- pied 335,000 miles of this terri- tory, so that 10 per cent of the population occupies five-sixths of the total provincial area. This, he felt, gave some indication of the road problems of Northern Ontario. The mineral wealth, he said, which had come out of the North was $1,700,000,000, and dividends of $550,000,000 had been paid. In 1935, the agricultural output of the North had been worth, $7- 500,000, and from 1918 to 1935 the North had produced $1,615,000 in forest products. This, he stated, gave some indication of the great contributton the North had made to the welfare of the Province as a whole and also indicated that the matter of good roads in the moral was certainly the concern whole province. ~ "You will judge the importance of your road problems in the North," he said, "for they are On- tario roads and it is Ontario wealth which comes from. the mines, the forests and the soil of the North."

THEY'RE TWINS, BUT NOT SISTERS ! Once in 40,000,000 births, according to science, there occurs such a coincidenceas was recently revealed in Detroit, where two 17-year-old high shool girls, both named Pauline Taylor, are "twins," but not sisters! Pauline Taylor on the left was born Sept. 22, 1920, at St. Ignace, Michigan, just two hours before the stork arrived at St. Catharines, Ontario, with Pau- line Taylor, on the right. They became acquainted as class- mates at a Detroit school three years ago, and have been inseparable since. They are the same wéight and height, dress alike, and are so similar in looks and tastes that they are practically indistinguishable. MAKING UP SHOPPING LIST The hall needs a new rug.
