No man has contributed more to the opening up and upbuilding of the north country than the Minister of Mines, who hails from the Sudbury nickel belt, and who for ten years has been the alert and forceful backer of the mineral industry, an inspiration to engineers and prospectors engaged in the development of the north, and thus a bensefactor of ‘the whole province and of the entire Dominion.

But for this country‘s greatly exâ€" panded gold production the Canadian Treasury might not have been able to maintain the national credit or to meet its obligations abroad during the depression. Nor should it be forgotâ€" ten that those engaged in the mining industry are by no means the only section of the community to benefit from this industry. The mines of New Ontario utilize a tremendous amount of food, clothing, boots and shoes and other products of Ontario factories. The mines thus give employment, diâ€" rectly and indirectly, to large numâ€" bers of our people. As the protector of the mining industry, Mr, McCrea has proved an invalusble friend not only to Canadian mining men, but to the country as a whole. ‘ _ In the distribution of surplus farm products 120 oneâ€"pound prints were apportioned to Perry Township, Mr. Raymond N.

This district continued under Roman sway until the fall of the Emâ€" pire. Subsequently the country has had a checkered history, being conâ€" tended for by Germany, France, Spain Austria and Holland. What a heritage for the young king, who, owing to the tragic death of his fatherâ€"the late beloved King Albertâ€"has assumâ€" ed the leadership of two races, who do not love each other any too well. The present dynasty dates from 1831, when Leopold, Duke of Saxâ€"Cobourg, accepted the crown ander the title of Leopold I.â€"this was after Holland and Belgium separated, after a short but stormy union of only 15 years.

Much of the traffic, going to the central portion of the :Continent, enters through this little country. Its greatâ€" est length is 165 miles and its greatâ€" est breadth 120 miles and the total area only 11,755 square milesâ€"so the importance of a country does not deâ€" pend upon its size altogether. The Belgian population is the densest of any European stateâ€"688 per square mileâ€"and is composed of two distinet races: the Flemish, who are of French extraction and who speak a corrup tion of French, intermixed with words and phrases from Spanish and other languages. French is the official and literary language, although road signs and general information is printed in both tongues. Almost the entire popuâ€" lation is Roman Catholic and there are over 2400 convents, with nearly 37,000 inmates. Protestantism is tolâ€" erated and even salaried by the State, but cannot count more than 30,000 adâ€" herents.
