Party Visited Timmins, New Liskeard, Haileybury. and Temagami ' Following the business sessions of Ontario and Quebec Newspaper Con- vention in Termite, recently, a party of nearly a hundred boarded four spec- ial Pullman cars attached to the C.N, R. and headed for Timmins. These trips are made possible through the co-operation of the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railways, and this year the Ontario Northern Rail- • way co-operated by, carrying the C, N.R. on their other line, The party arrived in Timmins around 11 a,m, pn Friday morning and were met: by several buses for a sight- seeing tour of the city end mining camps. Timmins is a prosperous, mod- ern city with a cosmopolitan popula- tion of about 28,000, and the adjoin- ing towns of Schunmaker and South Porcupine account for another 12,000 people. Although mine shafts are vis- ible here and there, you will find mod- ern homes, schools and churches asd fine commercial buildings. , At noon luncheon we were guests of the municipalities in the MacIntyre Community Centre, which is located in Schumacher and built at a cost of around a quarter of a million dollars: This building is one of the finest in Canada, it is complete with an arena, gymnasium, bowling alleys, auditor- ium, curling rink, cafeteria and lounge. Following the luncheon the party was split up, some going to the Hol- linger and i MacIntyre properties while the party we were with went to the Dome. mine as the blasting in the min- es takes place about noon each day, no visitors are permitted to enter the mine but we had a good opportunity to see the surface: workings. The set price of gold at $35.00 an ounce is a sure spot and if mining is te prosper they ask that gold should he allowed to take its price value by supply and demand, Friday evening we again boarded our train and were taken to New Lis- keard, During the early part of Sat- urday morning we visited the offices of the New Liskeard Speaker, an up- to date plant, doing a variety of work, including three telephone directories. Later we visited the Hill-Clark-Fran- ces Monmouth plant, whose impa l es cover several town blocks in addition to its huge lumber idles, ['meth:ally. every bit of lumber is mechanically handled to and from the machines, one workman in the plant g particularly caught the eye tf all for his sawed- in glazing windows. To putty four larse panes of glass in a sash took about 90 seconds. This plant manufatettres praetically everything frem kitelten cupboards to prefabricated lemses. After 'visiting the plant me' were ;taken to the Canadian Splint and. i Ladd/et Factory where they menu- facture nothing but match sticks, We :saw" the birch logs sawed into short lengths, the bark removed amid the I outer layers of the log peeled off into I: strips the thickness of a match. These strips were piled about a foot high and then taken to machines that sliced them in proper length and width. After going through driers they event- amity are eorted fur packing. At noon we had our luncheon at the Haileybury hotel where we listened with interest to a brief history of the nrth. From Halleybury we were taken by bus through Cobalt to Tonagemi, where we enjoyed a delightful boat trip to Bear Island, Tema:omit is a • large lake, being over thirty miles long from North to South. Pays and • fantastically cut peninsulas weave at t. intricate pattern, The total shoreline ':is something over 3,000 mike. The' =Wand and islands are densely wooded. Saturday evening we left for home, loud in our praise for the Northern hospitality which 'knows no equal.

Past-President 5, A, Bryans, now of Harriston, acted as chairman. After the large gathering had. partaken of the bounteous repast, Mr. Bryans wel- comed the large assembly of represen- tatives from the various Companies in Group 6 and the numerous guests.

Secretary, of Toronto, spoke of the subtle propaganda of the liquor indus- try.

She chal- lenged the group to be more aggres- sive and more original in the many forms of advertising, for the beauti- ful good and pure that make for bet- ter manhood and womanhood and is a credit to Canadian life.
