Page 4 THE HAILEYBURIAN THURSDAY, AUG. 28th, 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 WOULD HELP THE NORTH Without going at length into the recently presented report of the Ross Commission, which made a survey into public wel- fare in the province for the On- tario Government, one can say that one recommendation would materially improve conditions in the North Country. That is that amental hospital be established for Northern Ontario. Ever since the district jail has been established in Haileybury it has been all too apparent that there should be some more satis- factory way of caring for the un- fortunate people who have lost their senses than to have them confined as criminals, waiting sometimes for weeks, before they are taken to an institution where they can be cared for properly. We have had instances whic have brought this need home, perhaps more forcibly here than in any other point in this section of the North. Men and women are lodged temporarily in the jail, pending their removal to an asylum and, even with the best intentions, it is impossible for the officials to give them the- care and treatment that would, in some cases at least, prove the fisrt step in their recovery. The report of the Commission is a comprehensive one. It cov- ers all phases of welfare work and the recommendations, if car- ried out in full, will entail a large expenditure of public money. However, there would seem to be no doubt that the government will institute many changes as a result and officials who are en- gaged in the various social wel- fare activities are in high hopes that there will be great improve- ments made in the means where- by the unfortunate ones are cared for. Drummond House At Kerr Lake Will Be Demolished Can't Finance Preservation of Building But Monument May Be Erected The scheme advanced in Co- balt some time ago for the pre- servation of the log house at Kerr Lake where the late Dr. Drummond, the Habitant poet, composed some of his, best known works, is likely to be dropped, but the possibility remains that a cairn or other monument may be erected in town, as an alterna- tive memorial to the poet. Difficulties in the way proved unsurmountable for the earlier proposal. While it was not anti- Goes to Alberta Dr. C.A.

During the morning mem- lbers of the lodges had _ visited both cemeteries and placed mark- ers on the graves of deceased Oddfellows and during the cere- monies each of these received a floral tribute. The service was held at the plét, where the brethren formed a circle and per- formed the ritualistic ceremonies provided for the occasion. Bro. Brown, of Cobalt Lodge, had charge of the parade, while Bro. | Andrews, of Haileybury Lodge, gave the address and the prayers. | In addition to the ritualistic ceremony, Pastor A. Price, of the | Haileybury Baptist Church, gave an address, in which he dwelt on |the principles of Friendship, Love jand Truth which the Order holds as its basic doctrine. lf these principles could be ex- tended outside the Order and |take in all mankind, he said, they | would be fostering the ideals of | fellowship and brotherhood which would bring peace on earth, good will to men. He gave the Odd- fellows present some earnest and telling thoughts which should make clearer to all the true aims and objects of a fraternal organ- ization. | The address and other parts of the service, given by Bro.

The owners of the property, the Cobalt Comet Mines, was prepared to deed the ground on which the house is erected, and also sufmcient land to form a pathway from the main road be- low. The Federal Government had been approached, through Col. Malcolm Lang, the former member for South Temiskaming, to give a grant in connection with the proposal, but it was learned that money could not be donated for such a purpose, The authorities, however, are prepared, it is learned, to give the usual assistance from the general funds of the country for the er- ection of a monument to Dr. Drummond, and this offer may be accepted, and some appropriate memorial established. If this idea is carried out, the monument will be placed in town as a more ac- ceptable location than on the hill at the Cobalt Comet, where trees would obscure it in time. Meantime, the Kerr Lake resi- dent who bought the log house for the wood it contained, has removed the roof, and the entire upper part of the building has practically gone. The man who now owns the structure waited for nearly a year while the plan was in process of discussion, but is now going ahead again with the demolition of the building. |brethren.

Three drivers paid $10 and costs on charges of speeding, one was charged with driving without lights and a fifth faced a more serious charge, that of not stopping at the scene of an acci- dent. The three fast drivers were Archie Cobb, of Toronto, D. A. McMillan, Latchford, and Fran- cis Jewell, of Barrie. R. S. Cam- eron, of Latchford, was the of- fender in regard to his lights, while R. Howard, New Liskeard, faced the charge of failing to stop when his vehicle was in a collision. Cameron paid $2 and costs and Howard was assessed $25 and costs oh convictions be- ing registered. According to Traffic Officer All- sopp, informations have been laid in several other cases and these will come up for hearing when summons have been served. THE RHYMING OPTIMIST =p Aa THE DANCER Because I saw her dancing there, A feather whirling on the air, A joyous sprite, Breeze tossed, leaf light, The world has grown more blithe more fair. I gained, in that bright interlude, That dance my eyes, enraptured, viewed. A new delight In this, the height Of art, which seemed an artless mood. And ever, when my pathway goes Through open fields or garden close, With joy I trace' A strange, rare grace In swaying poppy, nodding rose. New fairy. flutterings I see (Since her enchantment rest on me) In bubbling springs, In soaring wings, In every leaf on every tree! NIGHT AT SEA If you would sense eternity, Sail through the night upon the sea, Beyond the bar, beyond the bay, Until the land falls far away. With only day's remembered light Sail on through starless, moon- less night, So deep, so dark, gloom Itseems no dawn can ever bloom. the ocean's There as the unquiet waters flow With some vast throbbing heart below, That tireless pulse becomes the force Which beats from being's secret source And moves in harmony sublime Throughout all space, throughout all time. No light, no chart, no boundary; Drift through the night upon the sea, If you would sense eternity. LOCAL GARDENER WINS PRIZES AT SHOW OF GLADIOLUS SOCIETY H. G. Pickard, whose floral ex- hibits are always a feature of the local Horticultural Show, is keep- ing Haileybury before the eyes of the public in the growing of gladioli: This year he had four entries in the Canadian Gladiolus Society's annual show, held at Niagara Falls on August 20th and 2ist, and was successful in carrying off two first prizes in the amateur class. At the exhi- bition there were entries from all parts of Canada, from the Un- ited States and from Great Bri- tain. Those who have seen and ad- mired Mr. Pickard's garden on Latchford Street will not be sur- prised that his glads stand up withthe best in the amateur class. Congratulations are due him on his success this year, -the second time that he has ventured into the big show and brought home well earned prizes. BLAZE IN SHED GIVES BRIGADE ITS FIRST RUN DURING SEVERAL WEEKS After several weeks free from fire alarms, the local brigade got arunon Sunday night at 9.05, when a blaze occurred in a shed at the rear of the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. Fishley, Browning Street. as a play house by the Fishley children and it is believed by the fire chief that they were respons- ible. There was little or no dam- age done, as by laying 450 feet of hose a stream was played on the burning building. There was some alarm™among the residents in that section, as the water pres- sure is not high to the west of the T.&N.O:, but there was only a light breeze and the flames did not spread. Tom Skeyhill, a lecturer with the Chautauqua at Cobalt, re- ceived word ten minutes before he commenced his lecture on Fri- day night that his little daughter had fallen downstairs and was dying. He carried on with his talk, rather than disappoint the audience. Haileybury Firemen held their annual dance on Monday night in the Community Hall, with a good attendance and everything that goes to make a pleasant ey- ening. The men of the brigade wish to extend thanks to all who assisted in making the dance a success. The shed was used only| Waturday : The LETTER BOX The Editor, Haileyburian Dear Sir :-- ; Will you kindly publish the fol- lowing details of the 1928-29 municipal council's dealings with the Haileybury Hockey Club. In the autumn of 1928, the municipal council appointed Messrs. H.'C. Dunbar, Taylor Pipe and W. McCurdy a Commis- sion to handle the Arena for the 1928-29 winter season. The Arena Commission rented the Arena to the Haileybury Hockey Club for a rental of one thousand dollars. An article was presented to the municipal coun- cil on which a few members of the Hockey Club's Executive pleged $1,000.00 to the town as rental for the Arena. At the Sept. 1929 council meet- ing Messrs. R. D. Cumming and J. W. N. Bell, representing the Hockey Club, and Messrs. H. C. Dunbar and W. McCurdy, repre- senting the Arena Commission, waited on the council. Messrs. Cumming and Bell stated to the council that the Hockey Club had outstanding accounts owing in Haileybury amounting to about $3,000.00, of which $850.00 was owing to the town, being the bal- ance of rent. They stated that if the council would relieve the Hockey Club of the $850.00 ow- ing to the town, the Hockey Club could and would immediately pay in full all other accounts owed by the club to firms and individuals in the town. The two members of the Arena Commission, Messrs. Dunbar and McCurdy recommended that the council accept the proposed offer made by Messrs. Cumming and Bell. The Council proposed to Mes- sts, Cumming and Bell that if the Hockey Club would pay a further $100.00 to the town and agree to pay all the remaining outstand- ing accounts owed by the club in Haileybury, the Council would, upon receipt of a written recom- mendation from the Arena Com- mission relieve the club of $750.00 owing the town. It was then suggested to Messrs. Cumming and Bell that it would be advisable to have a August 30th is your LAST CHANCE to take advantage of the SPECIAL TERMS now offered on. the famous ELECTRIC IRONER | Pay only $5-00 down the balance $5.00 a month Come in tomorrow and order YOURS. Canada Northem Power Corporation, Limited Controlling and Operating _-- Northern Ontario Power Company, Limited Northern Quebec Power Company, Limited a Great Northern Power Corporation, Limited unanimous report from the Arena Commission. Mr. Bell visited Mr. Pipe at the latter's farm and re- turned to the council with the information that Mr. Pipe was thoroughly in accord with the proposed agreement. At the November meeting of the town council a letter from the Arena Commission was read, which advised the council to ac- cept the proposed offer made by Messrs. Cumming and Bell, rep- resenting the Hockey Club. A motion was passed to accept the offer made by the Hockey Club. The town received the further $100.00. I wish to point out that since the Hockey Club has not lived up to its agreement with the 1929 council, in that the club has not paid the other accounts owed by the club in Haileybury, the town council can collect the $750.00 which was still owing to the town. The witnesses to the verbal ° agreement made by Messrs Cum- ming and Bell with the council were W. Charbonneau, C. E. Fle- ming, J. A. McKinnon, M. Piche, E. Simard, S. Graham, H. G. Pic- kard, J. T.
