THURS., NOVEMBER 20, 1930 THE HAILEYBURIAN Page 7 Mild Weather is Surprising to All Old Timers More Like Spring With Beaver Working and Frost Giving Road Trouble Old timers of the district are expressing great surprise at the continued mild weather of the present fall. Apparently no one can recall a similar occasion when there was no snow and practically no frost up to late in November, as is the case at pre- sent. Only one or two short cold spells have been experienced so far and present indications are that there will be no great change for a time at least. This week reports have reach- ed town that beaver have been seen at work near Redwater, a circumstance that is particularly unusual, as it is claimed by those who have made a study of these industrious animals, that they are almost always snug in their winter homes before this time. It is reported that there are frost troubles on the roads in some sections, just as they occur in the spring when the frost is leaving the ground. At one place between Englehart and Kirkland Lake there is quite a soft spot, where the mud is seen oozing up just as though it were spring- time and the frost was coming out. From different sections come reports of shrubs breaking into bud and other unseasonable signs but it seems to be generally the opinion that the winter will not be a severe one. In any event, it is being shortened by the pre- sent nne weather and the fuel bills, always a serious problem in this part of the world, are being kept down for the time. BUSH JOB DIDN'T SUIT HAD TO STAY WHERE HE COULD PLAY THE FIDDLE A young man who declined to accept a job found for him in a bush camp (after his father had turned it over to him because the son appeared more fitted for the work), on the ground that he wanted to stay in a town where he could learn to play the fiddle, provided a new experience for Mayor Armstrong at Cobalt this week. The mayor said he had been aproached by a man who told him| * the family had lived on potatoes for two days, and asked if a job could be located for him. By making numerous enquiries, the mayor landed a berth at cutting wood, the pay to be a dollar and a half a day, plus board. Noti- fied of this prospect, the father first took it, but later thought the son would be more able to handle it, but the younger man felt he had to remain where he could take lessons in the gentle art of extracting soothing strains from his trusty fiddle. cl in Ambul Work Are Proving Popular Here That the recently inaugurated classes in ambulance and first: aid work, which are being carried on in Haileybury, are proving very popular, was the statement of Mr. B. W. Hartley, who started this work in connection with his physical' training classes. Mr. Hartley said this week that all the classes except that for senior boys are filled to capacity and that there is a big waiting list. The course will continue for three months, after which those who have been unable to join will be given an opportunity. Dr. W. C. Arnold, Medical Health Officer is giving the lectures and instruc- tion and the importance of the information to be derived cannot be overestimated. Close Twentieth Year of Children's Aid Society (Continued from Page 2) and children were kept more to- gether, and in Quebec was found the perfect family life, in which daily prayer found a prominent place. The first duty of training of children lies with the parents, the speaker said. not to supplant but to supplement their work and complete the family. It was not meant for interference but only to work INFANT WELFARE CLINIC COLUMBUS HALL The Society was |. when the parents fail. One suggestion he had to of- fer was that an effort be made to have fewer matinees at the theatres when the pictures were! such that children should not see' them. There should be a public| protest made, Father Martindale said, as some of the pictures were| not fit for a child, or even for its parents. He believed in whole- some entertainment, but if thea- tres could be filled with children, it should be possible to provide suitable pictures. ! Mr. Wm. O'Connor, Inspector, from the Neglected Children's. Department at Toronto, was pre-| sent at the meeting and gave an address on the work which is be- ing done throughout the prov- ince. The Children's Aid Socie- ties as a whole were very suc- cessful in their efforts, he said, and he gaye many instances of children who had been given a chance and were making good |citizens, even after losing their \homes. "They may never be leaders," he said, "but they will be honest, respectable citizens, and that's what the majority of us are.

Relief is immediate! There's scarcely ever an ache or pain that Bayer Aspirin won't relieve --and never a time when you can't take it. The tablets with the Bayer cross ap always safe. They don't depress "the heart, or otherwise harm you. Use them just as often as they can spare you any pain or discomfort. } Haileybury in 1923 P Items from the Files of The Haileyburian of Seven Years Ago H. G.

CHILDREN CRY FOR iT-- HILDREN hate to take medicine as a rule, but every child loves the taste of Castoria. And this pure vegetable preparation is just as good as it tastes; just as bland and just as harmless as the recipe reads. When Baby's cry warns of colic, a few drops of Castoria has him soothed, asleep again in a jiffy. Noth- ing is more valuable in diarrhea. When coated tongue or bad breath tell of constipation, invoke its gentle aid to cleanse and regulate a child's bowels. In colds or children's diseases, you should use it to keep the system from clogging. Castoria is sold in every drugstore; the genuine always bears Chas. H. Fletcher's signature.
