The needs of the district were outlin- ed and a list drawn up of what will be requested from the De- partment of Game and Fisheries for this year. The Association was organized at Englehart a couple of months ago and the president, Mr. Mer- riman, was present at the meet- ing on Thursday. He told the assembled sportsmen just what had been done up to the present, how it was planned to have the whole district covered and what steps had so far been taken to- wards conservation and _ protec- tion of both fish and game in the district. All present joined hear- tily in the program outlined and in a general discussion a list of streams and lakes was drawn up where fish fry or fingeflings could be deposited with advan- tage and the following committee named to look after things for this section of the district: Messrs. Jay Gould, Dr. J. C. A. Crawford and Wm. Short. These are three of the most enthusiastic anglers in Haileybury and will look after the interests of the Association perhaps better than any others that could have been chosen. It was stated that there was no doubt that a supply of fingerlings would be received from the hatcheries of the Department this Spring. With a responsible or- ganization to care for the distri- bution, the Department will 'be more liberal in the supply, it is} ' claimed, than when applications}them being McCool, Hillview and|two contestants, Miss Seymour are made by individuals and bet- ter sport in the district will even- tually be made available.

Stretches of shore line that are usually under water in the spring are visible and the streams flowing into the lake have not had sufficient volume to affect it greatly.

Mitchell, K.C., acting for Chenette, is right in |his claim that rules of practice |should have entitled him to two clear days' notice of objections taken by F. L.

Meagher, clerk of the court, instead of to the clerk of the municipality, and also took objection to the affidavits filed. Mr. Mitchell stated that these objections should have been made in a notice of motion and that this entitled him to the two days' notice. On this point, His Honor did not rule yesterday when the question came up. Requests Made to Presbytery for Church Buildings New Edifices May Be Erected in North; Delegates to Con- ference Chosen The quarterly meeting of Tem- iskaming Presbytery of the Un- ited Church was held on Thurs- day and Friday last at Englehart, when representatives of the var- ious churches and stations in the district were well represented.

HAILEYBURY High Monday, May 5th, is the official date of the ice leaving Lake Temiskaming this year, a rather surprising fact considering that late last week there was scarcely a break in the entire surface, so far as could be seen from Hailey- bury. The exceptionally high winds of Friday and Saturday, followed by extreme heat on Sunday and another blow Mon- day served to break it up, but it melted very quickly and was gone before anyone expected it to happen. As a general thing, it takes a week at least after the first break before the lake is clear. May-5th is the same date as that on which the lake was clear in 1929. On Monday evening all that could be seen of the ice was an apparently small quantity that had been driven up towards the head of the lake. On Tuesday morning that, too, had disappear- ed and the whole lake was clear. The tug "Alert" came up from the foot of the lake on Monday, arriving in Haileybury in the evening and encountering no ice on the way. Tuesday morning she steamed up to North Temis- kaming, thus officially opening the navigation season. There were five lucky guessers Winds and Hot Spell Hasten Opening of Lake lIce Declared Out Officially on May 5th, the Same Date as Last | Year; Five Good Guessers Will Receive Subscription to The Haileyburian Free for the Next Year on the date of the ice going out. Each year The Haileyburian of- fers a free subscription to alf who guess the correct date, and this year there were many read- ers who had a try for the prize. | There were dates guessed all the} way from April 20th to May 27th, | showing that no one can form a very definite idea as to what the ice will do. The five lucky ones happened to pick the-right day, while numerous others were just| aday out one way or another. | Wm. Bulger, of the Matabanick | Hotel, kindly consented to act as| judge'this year, after Captait| McCarthy Burns, who has been the referee for the past year or two, went out of town at the cri- tical time. There is no appeal from Mr. Bulger's decision. He has no interest in the contest and receives no salary. He didn't even know how many guesses there were for the 5th and doesn't know yet, unless he had read this. Here are the lucky guessers, all Haileybury people. Each has been credited with a year's sub- scription in accordance with the terms of the contest: Mrs. P. McComisky, Mrs. R. Watson, Mrs. Devenney, Miss M. Macpherson and Mr. K. M. Ste- phen. . Two Splendid Addresses in Annual Oratory Contest Miss Shirley Seymour and Miss Jean Gordon Have Close Race in High School Event, With Judges' Decision Going to the Former; No World-Wide Competition This Year Miss Shirley Seymeur won the honor of first place in the High School Oratory Contest, when that annual event was held in the auditorium of the school Mon- day evening. There were~< just and Miss Jean Gordon, and both addresses were among the best that have been given in the school writer has~been attending the contests. Miss Gordon, - who spoke first, had chosen for her and her well given, with no stumbling or hesitation of any kind and _ held the audience from start to finish. Miss Seymour spoke on "The British Empire," a subject that was well and clearly defined, with its traditions, its glories and its remarkable growth during the three centuries of its existence. The speaker had a firm grasp of her subject, delivered it well and, while it was a familiar theme, she certainly made it interesting to the audience by new comparisons and new ideas. The judges of the contest were Mr. Chas. A. Byam, of New Lis- keard, R. A. A. McConnell, B.A., public school inspector, and J. T. Leishman, the latter filling in for the third member who had been unable to be present. In announcing the decision Mr. Byam, to whom the honor fell, said that he felt honored to be chosen as a judge of the contest, congratulated the principal and teachers of the school on the quality of the addresses and stat- ed that there was_a minority re- pert, showing that the judges were not unanimous. Testifying to the excellence of the addresses he said that, while we all knew about the British Empire, he would like to see Miss Gordon's address on World Peace put into print. and made available to a much greater number of people than had been privileged to hear it. The Haileyburian will be glad to publish both addresses, if the speakers will oblige with copies. In explaining the contest, Mr. W. H. Tuke, principal of the school, told the audience that the event was not world-wide this year, as had been the case for some years past. Only two pro- vinces, Ontario and Quebec, were entered as representing Canada, which was to be regretted, as the Dominion had figured prominent- ly in previous contests. This country had won the English speaking section of the contest for two years and last year the world winner was a Canadian boy. Mr. Tuke expressed his re- gret that Mr. Geo. T. Smith, vet- eran member of the High School Board, was unable to be present, both on account of the contest, which, with the school, was one of the things nearest to his heart, and on account of the recital, which was held at the same time by Mr. Eric E. Smith for the ben- efit of the Children's Shelter. ae ee CEE The interior of the Haileybury post office is resplendent in a new coat of paint and muresco this week, JOHN D FROM THE WORLD'S In Haileybury at 8 ADMISSION : : ASIA 2p ST TAS HUNT 24 UU = ATT 2g ATT Dramatic Recital Assisted by Arthur Duxbury, Tenor Soloist Wednesday, May 14th | LTE TESA CATT ATT TT ATT SHITTY UXBURY GREATEST WRITERS- United Church p-m. ir, 5 FIFTY CENTS ks Militia Camp at Liskeard Beach July 8th to 19th Four Units in Brigade to Meet for Training Period in North Country An announcement from militia headquarters last week-end states that the annual summer training camp of the brigade of which the 97th Algonquin Rifles form a unit will be held this year at New Liskeard Beach from July 8th to 19th. The four units which form the brigade are the Parry Sound Regiment, Owen Sound Greys, Muskoka Regiment and the Algonquins. Col. Mac. Lang, M.P., is the officer in com- mand of the 97th, which is com- posed of companies from various points in the dist- rict, from Sudbury on the south to Cochrane and Timmins on the North. For the past three years, since the reorganization of the Algon- quins, the summer camp has been held at points farther south, the units taking it in rotation. This year it is the turn of the Algon- quins, and the arrangement not- ed is the result. There will be sufficient space available at the Beach both for a camping site and parade ground and it is like- ly that most of the "old soldiers" in the three towns will pay the camp a visit at some time during the training period. Made High Score In Working Out Chess Problems A. MacLean Leads in Tourney for Silver Medal Among Local Enthusiasts During the winter months, the chess players of the Temiskaming District have been running a Chess Problem Tourney, open to anyone resident in the towns of Haileybury, Cobalt and New Lis- keard. The keenness and enthu- siasm and the number of contest- ants resulted in a very close fin- ish to win the silver medal, pre- sented by Mr. R. H. Unwin. Fifteen problems were given, a time limit of two weeks being set for each one; the possible score was 23 points. The winner of the tourney was Mr. A. MacLean, of Haileybury, who scored twenty- two points; in second place came Mr. H. A. Seymour and Mr. W.H. Tuke, each with 21 points. They were closely followed by Rev. C. Glover, of New Liskeard, with 20 points. Congratulations go to Mr. Mac- Lean for this splendid showing. It requires hard study to bring out correct solutions with all pos- sible variations to these problems and. to have lost only one point in the whole tourney is something to be proud of. Constable Allsopp to be Motorcycle Officer Here Provincial Constable Herb. All- sopp, of Haileybury, will be the motorcyle officer on this section of the Ferguson Highway this summer and his duties in that re- gard will commence in the near future. On Monday Mr. Allsopp went to Toronto, motoring from North Bay, where he will secure anew machine for the work and again come north. The highway will be divided aproximately into the same "beats" as in previous years and the whole stretch will be covered. recruited | Some Frost Damages To Highway Culverts Main Roads Are in Fair Shape in Most Sections; Watching for Results in Cobalt The condition of the main high- ways. through this district is fair this spring, according to Mr. W. H. Rice, overseer of the section which runs through Haileybury and New Liskeard and as far north as Earlton. Some trouble has been met with owing to the winter frosts having thrown the culverts out of shape, but this is being overcome gradually. In some spots the frost has also damaged the roadbeds, leaving them softened up and apt to suf- fer from heavy traffic. The loads of all heavier vehicles are being controlled as far as possible and there are already men employed on the highways getting them in- to shape for the summer. The stretch between Haileybury and New Liskeard is pretty rough, fol- lowing the winter months, but some work has already been done and it is expected that it will be in much better shape shortly. In regard to the new surface placed.on the highway through |Cobate late last year, those who are using it claim, that so far it is standing up well. In some places where tractors have been used throughout the winter the surface has been damaged to some extent, but where nothing more than ordinary traffic has been the rule the surface remains solid, and fairly smooth. 30th the men in charge of the high- ways and the public generally are watching the result of this sys- tem of surfacing, as it is general- ly believed that if it proves satis- factory, there will be other sec- tions of thé main roads treated in the same way. It is said to be much cheaper than paving and if it gives good results there will be the chance of its being extended, probably from Cobalt to New Liskeard as a start. PARTY FROM TORONTO ON TOUR OF NORTH WILL STOP HERE TOMORROW This section of the North Coun- try will welcome a party of To- ronto men and two Ministers of the Ontario Government tomor- row, when they will arrive in New Liskeard after a tour which took them by way of Fort Wil- liam, Kapuskasing and Kirkland Lake, with a side trip to Rouyn and Noranda. ; The party is composed of the Northern Development Commit- tee of the Toronto Board of Trade, Hon. Chas. McCrea, Hon. Wm. Finlayson, Geo. W. Lee and members of the T. & N. O. Com- mission and representatives of the C.N.R. and C.P.R. They will visit Temagami on Saturday and will be entertained at a banquet by Geo. W. Lee that evening in North Bay before returning to the city. ; } The Week's Weather | o-afhesfiesftenfte afin afie alle alhe ale afde 'of Weather Report for week ending Wednesday, May 7th, 8 p.m.: a Max.
