THE HAILEYBURIAN Issued every Thursday from the Haileyburian Office, Broadway Street, Haileybury Published in the Interests of the Town of Haileybury and District of Temiskaming SUBSCRIPTION RATES: In Canada--$1.50 per year in advance In United States--$2.00 per year in advance LEISHMAN % SUTHERLAND, PUBLISHERS THURSDAY, MAY 17th, 1928 Citizens Pay Tribute To Herb Day's s Service A complimentary dinner was tendered to Mr. H. A. Day on Thursday evening last at Hotel Haileybury, following his resig- nation from the office of town clerk after some ten years' ser- vice and as a mark of appreciation of the good service he has rend- ered during those years. Mr. Day has taken a responsible po- sition in the head office of the Northern Ontario Light & Power Company at New Liskeard. At the close of the dinner and after a number of complimentary speeches had been made, he was presented with two easy chairs and smoking stand, the gift of his fellow citizens assembled. The presentation was made by Mayor Pipe, who spoke in terms of great praise of the good work Mr. Day had done and of the great regret that was felt by all that he was leaving the service of the town. There were over thirty men in the party, making a representa- tive gathering of those who had known "Herb" Day for many years. With Mayor Pipe and the guest of honor at the head table sat four ex-mayors, Messrs. N. J. McAulay, J. E. McCuaig, J. A. Legris and Geo. T. Hamilton. The first to be called on was Mr. McAulay who gave a little sketch of Mr. Day's life in Haileybury from the time he started in as one of the staff of The Hailey- burian to his recent resignation from the post of town clerk. He had contributed a great deal, to the town, the speaker said, through his honesty and sincer-| -- ity of service and the best tri- bute that could be paid was the good will of his fellow townsmen. } Mr. Legris, who was the next gpeaker, paid tribute also to Mr. Day's faithful service to the town and his special abilities in dealing with the public. He spoke of his long experience and _ his whole-hearted service to the town and was quite sure that Mr. Day would remain a citizen of Hail- eybury, although he now "had one foot in New Liskeard." Mr. Hamilton added his tribute to the good service of Mr. Day, declared that they had been rais- ed together municipally" and that he had saved the town consider- able money by his legal know- ledge. He had never known him to fail in his advice to the coun- cil. Mr. McCuaig; the other ex-| mayor present, said he was glad| of the opportunity to pay tribute] to a citizen and friend. Nothing that could be said would be too strong, and he endorsed every word that the other speakers had said. Mr. Day had dealt person- ally with more citizens than any- one in town and had always shown wonderful patience. The old saying that one's loss is the other's gain was true in this case, he concluded. Other speakers who paid _tri- bute to Mr. Day's god qualities included Mr. H. C. Dunbar, presi- dent of the Board of Trade, Mr. A. G. Kirkpatrick, Dr. Arnold and Dr. Crawford, the latter in- troduced as the "Town Crier" by Dr. Arnold. On rising to reply to the ad- dresses and to thank the gather- ing for the presents, Mr. Day stated that it had been a complete surprise to him, but that he was glad, not only for the pleasure it gave him but for the stimulus it would prove to others. He didn't know, he said, that he had so many friends and he feared that the speakers had been stretching their imaginations. Mr. Day said that one lesson he had learned that evening was that the pleasant experiences of life far outnumbered the un- pleasant ones. Encounters with unkind or unfair persons were in- clined to stick longer in the mind that the more congenial ones, but he realized now that the vast majority of Haileybury people at least were neither unkind or un- fair. 'He believed there was no higher ideal than public service, : I which everyone present was per-! forming in some way. That citi- zens generally do appreciate this! Attendance for Temiskaming South for April service was amply proven. Mr. Day gave some enlighten- ing figures on the standing of the municipality, outlined the prospects for the future and gave his assurance that he would con- tinue in the future, as in the past, ever think of leaving. During the dinner, some splen- did music was provided by Mr. Parker and Mr. Kelly, guests at the hotel, who were given a hear- ty vote of thanks at the close. The evening was spent very plea- santly and to say that all present enjoyed themselves would be putting it mildly. oo RAILWAY HAS PLAN FOR BEAUTIFYING GROUNDS AT THE STATION HERE Mr. D. Kerrigan, landscape gardener for the T. & N. O. Rail- way, paid a visit to Haileybury on Monday to look over the sta- tion grounds with a view to hav- ing some improvements made in the way of grass and flower plots. He met members of the Hailey- bury Horticultural Society and the Board of Trade, went over the ground with them and form- ed a plan which was satisfactory to all parties and which, when put into effect, will make a great improvement in the appearance of the grounds. The scheme formulated, which Mr. Kerrigan will recommend to the Railway, is for a plot 84x50 feet at the north end of the station to be laid out with grass and flower beds and enclosed with a_ pro- tecting fence. This will extend from the end of the station north along the platform. The scheme will entail consid- erable work, as the ground has been filled in with ballast. A portion of this will have to be removed and its place filled with a citizen of Haileybury and one' that loved the town too well to 2, Tudhope, Miss Gilchrist 95% | 4, Harley, Miss Aitchison, 92% | 1, Haultain, Mr. Mackay, 92% North Cobalt, Mr. Bean, 91% 2, Coleman, Miss Cookson, 90. 1, Cane, Miss Cusick, 89.

Smith, Public School Inspector Sa Local Man Should Be Appointed Jail Warden The appointment of John L. Maltby to the position of War- den of the District Jail here would be a popular one with all parties. He has been one of the guards since the opening of the institution and, since the resigna- tion of D. R. Murray, has been in charge. Mr. Maltby is well known and respected by all in Haileybury and the district and all are in hopes that he will get the perma- nent appointment. ----------_q--___. A vote in favor of the Power Company franchise on Monday next will be a vote cast in the best interests of the town. A permanent arrangement for a supply of power is one of the best assets to any municipality and the franchise has been arranged on the best possible terms. The rates will be the same as the oth- er towns to the north of us and will mean a reduction of from 10 to 30 per cent.

The springs which were tapped at the reservoir are prov- ing inadequate and while all ef- forts are directed towards get- ting the pumps running again, the supply is still low. None LUMBER COMPANY HAS BEEN FORCED TO CLOSE PLANT BY HIGH WATER The high water in Lake Temis- kaming has been responsible for the closing down of the plant of the Haileybury Lumber Company on Lake Shore Road South, as the building standing near the shore has been partly flooded and the firm was forced to remove the motors which furnish the power in order to escape serious damage. The lumber yards, which are on higher ground, have not been affected to any great extent and it is unlikely that the plant will suffer greatly unless the water continues to rise high- er than is generally expected. A number of men employed by the company are having an entorced holiday, but operations will be resumed as soon as the flood wa- ters recede. Flood Interferes With Town's Water Supply (Continued from Page 1) could get through the original single channel. All the gates are wide open now and have been since the water began to rise to unusual levels. Incidentally, the new channel which was cut on the Ontario side, formed an island of about ten acres in extent. This island holds a somewhat unique posi- tion, being the only one in the Ottawa river whicn belongs to the province of Ontario. A pro- Vision in the original boundary scheme gave all the islands in the Ottawa and its expansions, with the exceptions of small islets like Farr's Island, to Quebec. While opinions differ as to the prospects of the early lowering of the waters, it is believed by many who have witnessed pre- vious floods that the present one has about reached its peak and that we may expect a _ gradual lowering of the levels in the near future. a The Hockey Club softball team were victors in the second league game of the season, played last evening at the Public School dia- mond, against Knights of Colum- bus, the final score being 20-12.
