Page 4 THE Aer ypLER LAN THURS., AUGUST 14th, 1930 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--$2.00 per year in advance In United States--$2.50 per year in advance LEISHMAN & SUTHERLAND PUBLISHERS Ontario People Becoming Weed Conscious : | Ontario people, both rural and| urban are approaching the fact that weeds are more and more, destructive and unsightly and have no place in the Ontario land | Sc ape Never before have farmers in general, been so careful in keep- ing down noxious weeds on their farms. During the month of June it was a common sight to see men women and children out in the fields, hoeing, cutting, spudding and pulling weeds, state officials of the Crops Co-operation and Markets 3ranch, Parliament Buildings, Toronto. Hundreds of country cemeter- ies have been cleaned up, properly sodded, planted with shrubs and otherwise put in a condition more fitting the last resting place of our esteemed and honored fore- fathers. More attention is being paid to school yards, church yards, highways, township roads, railroads and public property of all kinds. The successful control of the weed situation is very largely due to the united and co-operat- ed effort of farmers, weed in- spectors, road and railway offic- ials, trustees of public property, Women's institutes and Service Organizatons all over the prov- ince. Weed Control is more apparent in some sections than others but for the most part, real progress is being made in the Weed War of 1930. In spite of success so far, the battle has only begun. Citizens, communities and organ- izations will have to continue to give their co-operation and sup- port before the weed menace is finally under control. Every municipality in the prov- ince, including towns, cities and villages, now has a weed inspect- or. The weed inspector's duties are to inspect all property in the municipality, discuss with farm- ers the best methods af control of noxious weeds and assist the farmer in every way possible in his fight against the weed men- ace. In extreme cases where weeds in crops are so bad that they are providing a menace to neighboring farms, the weed in- spector may advise the cutting of the crop. If this is neglected or refused, the inspector may order the crop cut and charge cost of same to the occupant of the land in his taxes. All occupants of lands are ex- pected to prevent the ripening of all noxious weeds in such a man- ner that seeds will not blow over neighboring property. Municipal councils are expect- ed to give the local weed inspect- or every assistance and support in his work. Although there are 17 weeds deemed noxious under the Weed Control Act, Sow Thistle, which is considered the "World's Worst Weed" is given by far the most attention. Weed inspectors are determined to keep this weed in control in such a manner that it will not blow from farm to farm as it has done in the past. Ontario people have become "Weed Conscious" and as a re- sult, will not rest content until the weed problem is fully solved and under control. Local People Had View of Big Dirigible in Toronto Mr. and Mrs. J. A. MacArthur, who with their daughter, Miss Louie, were visitors in Toronto during the past couple of weeks, had a view of the R-100 when the big British Dirigible passed over the city on Monday morning. Mr. MacArthur» states that the big airship was plainly seen by moon- light as it sailed over the city at about 4a.m. He did not stay for the reception, as they had to leave early that morning to reach home in the evening.

Will Resume Inquest on Death of Arthur Conkling The adjourned inquest into the death of Arthur B. Conkling, who it will be recalled was found dead in a barn near South Gillies on June 23rd, will be resumed at an early date, it is anticipated. At the time of the discovery of Con- klings's body, there were suspic- ions of poisoning and the contents of his stomach were sent to Tor- onto for analysis. A report has been received by Dr. W.C. Arnold the coroner investigating the case, to the effect that there are no traces of poison to be found. It was believed at the time that the unfortunate man had com- mitted suicide. The Nipissing Mining Company is wrestling with the Cobalt town council over an alleged sewer, which is claimed by the company to be seriously hamper- ing operations in the under- ground workings of the mine. Gordon Fielding, of Kirkland Lake, will represent the North Country in the big marathon swim at the Canadian National Exhibition this year. He is now in training at Long Branch, near Toronto.

Gordon Is Well Deserved Has Had Remarkable Rise Since Coming to North Country Twenty Years Ago The truly remarkable rise to prominence of Hon. Wesley Ash- ton Gordon, chosen Minister of Immigration and Colonization and Minister of Mines in the cab- inet formed last week by Hon. R. B. Bennett, has been the cause of considerable comment in the press since the announcement was made at Ottawa. "Wes." Gordon is so well known in Hail- eybury and throughout the dis- trict that it almost seems unnec- essary to make further mention of his elevated position, but per- haps t}Pcause he is so well known and because he has for so many years been taken for granted by his townspeople, a short. sketch of his career will prove interesting. To begin with; Mr. Gordon has spent more than 20 years in Hail- eybury in the practice of his pro- | office of A. G. MacKay, a former |leader of the Liberal party in the ilegislature, who was then prac- Iticing at Owen Sound, near which jtown the new Minister was born. {His father, Mr. Charles Gordon, iwas for many years city clerk of ,Owen Sound and still lives there, jalthough retired. It was there :also that Mr. Gordon was mar- tried to Miss Jean Harkness, in 1909. Of Mr. Gordon's activities in public life in Haileybury and the North Country, little need be said in these columns. His work in the interests of education, first as a member of the Public School Board of Haileybury and later in his present capacity of chairman of the High School Board, is well known to all. To his efforts is largely due the arrangements for the bigger and better equipped mining school, now under con- struction. He has taken an ac- tive interest in the Board of Trade and in all public affairs, has been for many years town solicitor and has guided the mun- icipality in all legal matters. In the political field Mr. Gord- on has always taken a prominent part, although the recent contest fession and had become so well recognized as a leading lawyer that last year he was appointed a K. C. He came to Haileybury on the completion of his law studies at Osgoode Hall, being first as- sociated with Mr. Fred Day, who left the North about ten years ago. During his student days, Mr. Gordon studied law in the was the first one he ever entered on his own account. On many occasions he has been offered a nomination, either for federal parliament or the-legislature, but has always declined until this year. Now, on his first attempt, he won the riding of South Tem- iskaming for the Conservative party by a good margin and has There are Two Seas--- There are two seas in Palestine. One is fresh, and fish are in it. Splashes of green adorn its banks. Trees spread their branches over it, and stretch out their thirsty roots to sip of its healing waters. Along its shores the children play, as children played when He was there. He loved it. He could look across its silver surface when He spoke His parables. And on a roll- ing plain not far away He fed five thousand people. The river Jordan makes this sea with sparkling wat- er from the hills. So it laughs in the sunshine. And men build their houses near to it, and birds their nests; and ev- ery kind of life is happier because it is there. The river Jordan flows on south into another sea. Here is no splash of fish, no fluttering leaf, no song of birds no children's laughter. Travellers choose another route, un- less on urgent business. The air hangs heavy above its waters, and neither man nor beast nor fowl will drink. What makes this mighty difference in these neigh- bor seas? Not the river Jordan. It empties the same good water into both. Not the soil in which they lie; not the country round about. THIS is the difference. The Sea of Galilee receives but does not keep the Jordan. For every drop that flows into it another drop flows out. The giving and receiving go on in equal measure. i The other sea is shrewder, hoarding its income jealously. It will not be tempted into any generous impulse. Every drop it gets ,it keeps. f The Sea of Galilee gives and lives. gives nothing. It is named the Dead . There are two kinds of people in the world.
