'THURSDAY, JULY 17th, 1930 ----_--_ ait Fo THE HAILEYBURIAN Page 5 Collection of Minerals to be Placed in Hotel Display Now Being Arranged and Samples Will be Receiv- ed and Put on View The recent arrangements by the Haileybury Board of Trade to have a collection of samples of ore placed on display in Hotel Haileybury is new being carried out and Mr. B. W. Hartley, who undertook the work of listing the specimens, has already quite a re- spectable showing in a large case in the hotel rotunda. This col- lection consists largely so far of _specimens loaned by Mr. Hartley himself, but it will be added to as samples are received from others who wish to help with the dis- play. Anyone having specimens that should have a place in the collection is asked to communi- 'cate with either Mr. Hartley or Mr. M. S. Boyd, secretary of t he Board, who will look after them. In Mr. Hartley's own collection are over 30 specimens of molyb- denite, 29 tin samples from Corn- wall and 28 of the lithium ores from Pointe du Bois, Manitoba. This will make a good beginning on the display and it is hoped to collect specimens of all Ontario and Quebec minerals, in order that visitors to the district may be able to see just what the re- sources consist of. MILITIA CAMP BEING DISBANDED TODAY AS TRAINING PERIOD ENDS The militia camp at New Lis- keard Beach, which has been held during the past 10 days, is being disbanded, the training period having come to an end for this year. Yesterday afternoon the brigade had a grand parade for inspection by General Ashton, of- ficer commanding Military Dist- trict No. 2, who came up from To- ronto for the review. Some 600 men were on parade and made a fine showing after their training period, each of the four regiments being spick and span for the oc- casion. .Many of the soldiers are very young, some of them put- ting in their first seson in camp, but they have made good use of « the time and are much more sea- soned than when they arrived.

"Just a word as to the differ- ence between Western Steer Beef and local Beef. Every piece of the former is Government In- spected and must be free from all disease and fit for human con- sumption and bears the Govern- ment stamp that it has been so inspected. It is slaughtered in a sanitary Abattoir and immediate- ly placed in cooling rooms where it remains till shipped in Refrig- erator cars to its destination. On arrival here it is placed in our Cold Room which keeps it in per- fect condition till sold to the cus- tomer. Local Beef is picked up around the country by buyers, killed per- haps on the Barn floor or any old place, hauled to the market in trucks and wagons none too clean and where it is exposed to dust and other impurities until sold. It is not inspected for disease-- in fact many a local animal has been turned into beef to save its life, so to speak. Now, which would you, as a discriminating housewife sooner buy? You pay a little more for the Western Beef, but is it not worth it?

The' Returning Officer, Colonel H. E. McKee, of Cobalt, presided during the two hours, from 12 noon until 2 p.m., that the law prescribes. The two candidates, who have been in the field for their respective parties for the past few~ weeks, W. A. Gordon, K.C., for the Conserya- tives, and Colonel Mac. Lang, member in the last parliament, for the Liberals, were the only ones nominated. Mr. Gordon was present himself for a portion of the time, but Mr. Lang did not appear for the nomination. There were a: few friends of both parties who dropped in at the meeting to watch the pro- ceedings and a couple of news- papermen, in addition to the clerk to the returning officer, R. Mc- Gowan, of Cobalt, who was on one occasion a candidate for the Legislature in the interests of the Labor Party. Both candidates' nomination papers had been deposited with the returning officer prior to the day of nomination, signed by a large number of supporters and accompanied by the required de- posit. The nomination meeting closed promptly at 2 o'clock, the proclamations, notices, etc., are now being printed, together with the required number of ballots. Col. McKee states that there are over 25,000 qualified voters in the riding, according' to the lists made out by the enumerators. No printed lists of voters are pre- pared, the constituency being classed as rural.

VRetains Good Health at Ripe Age of Ninety-Three Miss Margaret Sampson, who is believed to be Haileybury's oldest resident, celebrated her 93rd birthday on Saturday last at her home Elliott Street, where she has lived for many years past. She is in fairly good health, is able to go around the house and retains all her facul- ties. Her hearing is slightly im- paired, but otherwise she is un- afflicted by the ills that all flesh is heir to. The anniversary of Miss Samp- son's birth was celebrated quiet- ly. A niece stays with her at present, since the death of her brother, with whom she made her home, earlier in the year. She is happy and contented and is enjoying the evening of her days. on Summer Specials !

MacKendrick, D.S.O., known as "The Roadbuil- der" because of his eminent ser- vices in France during the war,a man who is a "life-long Conserv- ative," has sent to The Star a letter explaining why he must cast a Liberal vote in the ap- proaching Dominion, election. The colonel says that "with a hardness of heart not in keeping with 50 years of flag-waving the Conservatives have renegged ona lifetime of claims of superior loy- alty to Britain.' He also says that for 25 years he has advocat- ed a brick-for-brick tariff against the United States and for that reason must show his approval of the Dunning budget. The text "jof the letter is as follows: To the Editor of the Star: Sir: Amid the clash of wordy political effort to see who shall govern this great heritage of ours the key of it all is the free-will offering of trade favors to the Motherland. All other issues are side issues--let us concentrate, therefore on this, the main issue in dispute. In youth we were taught to place country before party and with the light of youth my vote for 45 years in Federal elections has been Conservative. Today it seems time for a change. For many years I mistrusted the Liberal Party's loyalty to a God-given throne and Empire, but today in the Dunning tariff they have given evidence, and practical evidence, not lip service only, that Liberal blood is thick- er than water. F Canada under a Liberal regime has freely offered Britain in her day of serious languishing trade favors that will be of much bene- fit to British trade and no harm to Canada. The Conservative party objects. Having deserted their traditional stand, they are busy hollering for a "quid pro quo'--Britain must. give us a * |pound of flesh in return or we won't play. Can true Canadian patriots follow such selfish ac- tion toward the Motherland? No Haggling Great Britain won Canada at the cost of thousands of British lives and millions of British trea- sure; yet she freely handed this great heritage of our forefathers without asking any "quid pro quo" for her costly outlay. She asked no pound of flesh in return she haggled not over her expend- itures for Canada but freely gave it to us. Britain at her own cost built and maintained a defensive navy which in the late war saved Can- ada and the world from the ruth- less power of might which sought to dominate the Christian ideal of Anglo-Saxondom. Wealthy Canada has not paid one cent for a hundred years of such naval service. Neither the Conserva- tive nor the Liberal party have made any sustained effort to re- pay these expenditures save in time of war. Waving' the flag and gabfests are all right in their way, and have had a very long day, but, be- ing Scotch I lean toward more practical evidence of good faith from those seekers of votes who with lies, half-lies and statistics often seek to persuade us that black is white. It seems that a pound of real performance, real action in tieing together our em- pire is worth a bushel of elec- tion promises. The Liberals with the Dunning budget gave not empty words but have made it the law of the land that our mother country, who has done so much for us, is to receive this free will offering of trade favors in her time of greatest need. Britain has ac- cepted Canada's free will offering with the same heartiness with which it was given. Swallowing Themselves I regret exceedingly the lack of wisdom shown by Conservative leaders in eating their labels and turning their backs on a British preference solely because Liber- als passed this splendid empire- building measure. Many thinking Conservatives cannot follow such anti-British leadership and the party will rue the day when they ran them- selves into this blind alley. With a hardnes of heart not in keeping with 50 years of flag- waving and boastings of their superior love for the motherland the Conservative party have re- negged on a lifetime of such claims. Sir John Macdonald was proud to boast, "a British subject was I born, a British subject will I die." Today his successor eats such professions and has the impu- dence to state that no trade fa- vors such as the Dunning tariff Conservative Imperialist Will Support Liberals Col. Mackendrick Says Conservatives Are Showing Utter _ Disregard for What Canada Owes Britain--Favors Tariff Against the United States should be given to mother Britain unless and until we can exact a pound of flesh in return. A leader who will shylock his motherland, who will knock a free will offering to Britain be- cause given by another hand than his own--which hand today represents Canada's feeling more truly than his own--is not a lead- er many reasoning Conservatives can follow, he certainly cannot lead me into such foolishness with utter disregard of what we owe to Britain. Either our Empire must unite in matters of inter trade or the empire must disintegrate. I am for uniting on every possible item . and favor giving Britain, where possible, favots for the genturies of help given Canada, and I am for doing it without any pound of flesh attachments, without any "quid pro quo." For 25 years I have advocated a brick for brick tariff against the United States as the only means of teaching them how to treat their best customer. Today, countervailing duties is the law in Canada, and I feel grateful to the Liberal party for making it so, believing 'twill help upbuild that great company of nations-- our Empire--foretold in Bible history. Loves the Empire My love for CanaJa and the Empire for which we all worked and fought surpasses my respect for leadership who eat their tables and who would shylock the mother land in those matters of trade if the present election gives them the opportunity. I trust Canada will never elect a parliament to cancel the free- will offering which the Dunning budget has given to Britain in matter of trade. Let us unite for upbuilding the empire with goodwill and not haggling and seeking "quid pro quos," as the proper basis. A wise authority has said, "Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shalt find it after many days. The Dunning tariff is Canada's bread cast up- on British waters and like other goodwill offerings it will bring its reward, both material and spiri- tual. It is a small evidence of what Canada owes Britain. It is a for- ward move in the right direction for empire unity, and as such I am strongly for it. W. G.
