"Pinery" Land To. Be Sold
A link with the colonization days of
Southern Ontario is tate offering for
sale of a 6,612 -acre tract of land with
six miles of frontage along Lake
: Huron between Grand Bend and Port
. Frank. It represents more than half
the present holdings of the historic
, Canada Company, which 100 years
ago owned several millions of acres
of Ontario homestead lands.
"It's just as the Indians left it," said
I Charles Jones, 65, commissioner in
Canada for the London -owned com-
pany which induced thousands of the
early settlers to Canada from Great
Britain. "So tar as I know there never
has been any extensive timber cutting
to the area. It's known as the Pinery,
in Bosanquet Township. and is too
sandy for general farming; the lake
I shore is all sandy beach."
One of the pioneer companies on
this continent, the Canada Company
has been in process of winding up
since 1036 when Mr. Jones became
chief inspector here and embarked on
a land -selling career which made him
"the man who has sold more land
than any one else in Canada." He has
sold more than 50,000 acres for the
company, which still owns about
12,000 acres.
Invaluable archives are part of the
records of the company and the Ont-
ario Government years ago showed a
desire to have them. Copies of letters
written by early, settlers to former
homes in Scotland, Ireland and Eng-
land are part of the archives.
The company settled what was
known as the "Huron Tract," an area
between Goderich and Guelph.

WITH MORE TELEPHONES in use than eve
before, and people using theist more, the number
of Long Distance calls keeps going up and up.
We are training hundreds of new operators,
adding many miles of new circuits and installing
new switchboards to handle titeni. Everything
possible is being done—but it. does take time.
Until the job is done we will continue to need '
your co-operation. It is helpful when you observe
the proper sequence in placing your calls with
the operator and when you keep your talks
as brief as possible.
FIRST, give Long Distance the name of the city you
are calling.
`THEN the susinber of the distant telephone. (If you
do not know the number make a mote of it for future
use when you hear the operator repeat it.)
THEN when the operator asks for it, give her the
number of the telephone from which you are calling.•
Please avoid unnecessary details.
