None | ERM NEWER WER Lively For Brigade = i Two chimney fires, in neither | of which there was any damage! done, served to make tlre holi- days lively for the locai fire bri- gade over the week-end. The first occurred at the home-of Mrs, Gregg, Probyn Street, about 4 o'clock on tle afternoon of Christmas Day. The brigade was called, but had considerable bad juck in geeting out, so it wasfor- tunate that the fire was easily ; One of the 'fhlorses; which had been secured tempor- arily pending tne pusche«s of a new one to take the place of one that died a week or two ago, proved of a contrary disposition of the hall.- It took some min- utes to get him started and 'in the meantime the fire truck was taken out. Both team and truck failed té'reach the scene of the fire; the team upsetting the sleigh with its load of. hose, etc., on cutting down in the snow at the corner of. Probyn Street and ' 5 Rorke Avenue where the road has with the deep- snow. * The reason the team became unmanageable was the fact that in the trouble in getting the new hearse out of the hall the traces became unhitched and it was im- possible for the driver to slow up and make the turn onto Probyn Street, the sleigh going over-onr of the men were hurt and there avas no damage to the equipment. A line of hose was laid by,hand power in case the fire got a start. | but was not required. The second fire occurred ,on Sunday night about 7.30 in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dupuis, Lawlor Sireet. In this case the} same trouble was experienced in| persuading the new horse to pull| the sleigh out of the hall. No| attemp was made to take out the| truck as it was felt sure that the] snow in that section of the town| would be too deep. The fire was in the chimney and did not spread so ithere was no damage. Another horse has been hired to mate up with the one the town owns, which is claimed to be a first class fire horse. A car load wt horses is expected by a local | dealer in the district in the near| future, and it is hoped to secure a suitable animal out of the lot. I love 'these little people; and it js not a-slight thing, when they, who are fresh from God, love us. --Dickens. ; ------ ---- On Sunday nes January 2nd, 1927,the winter schedule of the &. & N.O, Railway will go into effect. The chief 'change will be the fact that trains No. 46 and 47 will be taken off the Sunday sched- ule. This is in accordance with 'the sual practice for the winter "months. The trains will be run again on Sundays through the. spring and summer. It is expected that there will be slight changes in the times of arrival and depart- ur€oL trains at the-local sta- tions, but these have not been 'made public yet. x * --== FAILED TO LAND WITH CHRISTMAS CHEER FROM QUEBEC SIDE OF LAKE The transporting, of a quantity of Christmas cheer from the Que- bec side of the lake on Friday evening last was the cause of landing two local men in the clutches of the law. They were returning across the ice with their load, which it is claimed consisted of some fifty bottles of the genuine stuff, when provincial police officers became awate of the intended landing and. consti- tuted themselves areception com- mittee. One of the offenders as- sumed the responsibility for the shipment, and appeared in police court on Monday and paid a fine o£ $50. The Jiquor was confiscat- | ed. It was claimed that there was no intention of bootlegging and that the quantity was accounted for by the fact that there were several friends of the parties who had joined in to secure the supply. Possibly they ,all went dry over the holiday, or 'possibly there were other sources of supply that proved more easily accessible. Public Schoo! Board Members Re-Elected by Acclamation Three members of the Hailey- bury Public School Board, whose terms ran out this year, were re- elected by acclamation at the no- minations on Menday. These with the addition of a new mem- ber to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the late H.L. Slaght, all filed their qualifications on Tuesday and were declared re- turned without opposition. Messrs. H. A. Day, D. R. Mur- ray and A. Keddie are the former members elected, while Mr. J. A. Bradley is the new man. -- ee Re ase ae NE it ee £ PAST TIWEL ALL OUR BL WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATRONAGE DURING Prite MONTHS AND EXTEND ST WISHES FOR A BRIGHT AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR Me MG RO ON 4 a Ba Sa Bi &, net ¥ y Bryan-Knechtel Pharmacy -- Sam nh RHR AMR RR ARB Sh Sh Sa She Ba Se Be Se Ha Ba BA .

SHROFF Haileybury 7 > nd Better Haileybury a OE PB N 21 Years as ki, School Teacher Following the oratory contest at the High School Commence- ment on Wednesday night fast, the prizes won in 'the athletic events atthe annual field day, and the various special prizes donated, were presented to. the winners. With this the gradua- tion diplomas for the year were handed to those of the graduates who were present to receive them. 7 In presenting the prizes, Prin- cipal Tuke gave an interesting address on the progress that was steadily being made in the school: Hic stared that he had that day completed 21 years of high scowl teaching, seven of which had been spent in the Haileybury High School. Mr. Tuke said that the past year had been the big- gest and most successful in the history of the school, although the new high school at Cobalt had slightly decreased the attend- ance. There were now 560 stu- dents in the high schools of the three towns, with a total of @1 teachers. © Seven 'inspectors, he said, had visited the lacal school during the past six months. Last year, Mr. Tuke said, there had been 584 papers passed, whte this year there had been 694, with an average of 88%. The lowest average in the history of the school had been 84%. Mr. Tuke~- declared that. the past year had been a most con- genial one, it spite of the over- crowded condition of the school. He spoke with regret of the death of a member of the staff during the year and of the re- t+irement through ill-health-of an- other member late in the year. which pleased both the students, teachers and the audience, the presentation of a prize Mrs. Farr. This was made the occasion of some complimentary remarks by Principal Tuke, who Wes said it was a great pleasure to have the wife of the founder of the town of Haileybury present- ing a prize donated by herself in the school, and the grand daugh- ter of the founder receiving an- other. prize.in the athletics.

Essay Contest Prizes of $10 and $5 presented A feature of the he students by} || cision and presentation by THs Councillors Elected Without a Contest There will be no municipal elec- tion in the town of Haileybury for the year 1927, the 'first time since the fall of 1922 that there have been acclamations for all seats on the council. Although there were ten nominees, and eight of these filed qualifications between the hour of nomination and Tuesday evening, at the last minute on Tuesday night, two of them decided to withdraw and leave the field clear to the other aspirants, thus avoiding the nec- essity of taking a vote. Mayor Hamilton had"no opposition and was declared elected by acclama- tion on Monday. The council for-1927 will con- sist of five of those who sat sa the board during 1920 and Jos. 3ranchaud, a newcomer to muni- cipal politics, but an old timer in Haileybury. Geo. Poppleton is the only member of the 1926 council who will be missing from the circle when the first meeting is called. He decided some time ago that he would not be a can- didate for further municipal hon- ors at the present time, and al- though considerable pressure was brought to bear, he stuck to this decision. His colleagues regret this very much, according to what one hears from all quarters, as he always took a deep interest in the town's affairs during the years he served on the council and did good work for the town. Of the council which will han- dle the affairs of the town during the coming year, the five re-elect- ed have all had considerable ex- perience. The youngest member in point of service is W. Charbon- neau, who is entering on his j second term, All the rest shave had severa! years' service. The members of the ndw coun- ef! will be: John McKinnon, John Berry, Chas. E. Fleming, M. Aus- tin, W. Charbonneu and. Joseph 3ranchaud. -Those who it was thought were also to be in the running were F. R. Gibson and A. H. Jack. Both filed their qualifi- cations on Tuesday afternoon, but decided to drop out and avoid an tection. J, W. Hughes were the other two nominees, neither of whom would consent to enter the race. While it would be more satis- factory to see a greater general interest taken in municipal af- fairs, it is perhaps.as well that a contest will not be necessary this year. From the record of the past year, one can judge what is likely to be the program for the coming twelve months and it is not probable that there will be any drastic changes made in the handling of the town's affairs. ------_~_+- == Tragedy Marks Christmas For Silver Centre People The small child of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Provencher, of Silver Cen- tre, was drowned in» the. Silver River, near Fabre, Que;, when the horse and cutter in which the father, mother and three children were driving, went through the ice. The family were returning fo their home in Silver Centre after spending Christmas with friends on the Quebec side when the tragedy occurred. All were immersed in the stream and it was with difficulty that the father was able to rescue his wife 'and two of the children. The young- est was unable to stand the ef- fects of the cold water and suc- cumbed. The tragedy has cast-a gloom rover the settlement at. Silver Centre, where Mr. and Mrs. Pro- vencher are well'known. ---- eno ------ Anyone who enjoys a_ jolly childrens play should not miss "Tn the Court of Old King Cole," to be given this evening at 8 o'clock in the L.0.0.F.

Monday and is re-elected to serve, a second term as chief magis- trate. Rumors of another aspir- ant to the office failed to mater- jalize when the time came and, al- though there were ten men nom- inated-for seats on the council, there was only the one for mayor Mr. Hamilton has been-a faith- ful and conscientious worker - in the iriterests of the town, both as mayor 'in 1926. and as councillor for a great many years Al- though this yea* completes _ his twentieth in the service of the town, he has apparentry no in- tention of quitting the job for a while yet. * % CHILDREN AT SHELTER. WERE WELL TAKEN CARE WITH CHRISTMAS SUPPLIES --_------ That the people of Haileybury are generous at all times has long been well known, and. the fact that there was a great ab- undance of good things sent to the Children's Shetter for the Christmas season this year is osity. A listtof donations which were sent for the children's din- ner and for their comfort , as well has been handed to The Haileyburian, with the request that no names be mentioned, but that the donations+he publicly ac- knowledged and the donors thanked. ; The list contains a goose, <two turkeys, baskets of apples and other fruits, candy, nyts,; carried fruit, clothing and many articles of a miscellaneous nature, which will greatly help in providing comforts for the children during the winter. Those in charge ot the Shelter are particularly grate- ful for all the things 'sent and assure the people of Naileybury that their help is very mtich ap- preciated and on if depends the success of providing for the help- less children. a es a ea Presentation to Former ,; Members of Church Choir On Sunday evening after the close of the evening service in the United Church, a very pleasing incident took place. The Choir members, realizing the many kindnesses rendered to them 'in- dividually, and as*a choir,' pre- sented to Mr. J. M. Philip a wrist watch and to Mrs. Philip a dress- ing case. . Mr. Philip, on behalf of Mrs. Philip and himself, said he was pleased to have been of service to only another proof of this. gener-| Subscription $1.50 per year Seven Seek Election to Council in Bucke ee Seven men are seeking election to the council of the Township of Bucke this year, only two of whom are members of the coun- cil of 1926. There were thirteen names placed before the nomina- tion meeting on Monday after noon, including all four of th old council. Two of the iatte have decided to drop out of mun_- cipal politics for this vear- The seven nominees whos > names will appear on the ball age: L. J. Gagnon, Neil D.

With the exception of Mr. Plaunt all reside in or near North Cobalt. Mr. Plaunt is a fariner living. in the western part of the township. Reeve Post was re-elected by ac- clamation. Perhaps to a greater extent than in any previous year, the in- terest in the election in the muni- cipality is very keen.

Bucke has long been noted for its lively municipal election contests and the present one appears like- ly to eclipse those of former years. Reeve Post in particular has been the object of severe cri- in others he apparently has the entire support of the ratepayers. Perhaps his efforts in the pros- ecution of a former clerk and treasurer ofthe municipality, A. Ellis Gridley, who was. acquitted of the charges preferred against him, have caused the greatest part of the dissatisfaction with the administration of Mr. Posts There have been several law suits and investigations which have considerable dissension and, while he has been again elected to head confidence of all the people.
