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.

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. Mrs. R. A.
