"have heard>-comments from dif- Page ¢ THE HAILEYBURIAN THURSDAY, APRIL 16th, 1931 THE HAILEYBURIAN Issued every Thursday from The Haileyburian Office, Basadway S «eet, Haileybury SUBSCRIPTION RATES: In Canada--s2.00 per year in advance In ,United States--$2,.50 per year in advance LEISHMAN &% SUTHERLAND PUBLISHERS Expect Early Break-up j The majority of the old timers are expecting an early break-up of the ice in Lake Temiskaming this year, and signs are not lack- ing that their expectations may be realized. Following the mild winter, the spring weather arriv- ed earlier than last year and, al- though there have been one or two cold spells, the season is farther advanced than it was at this time last year. Judging also from the guesses that have been made in The Hail- eyburian's annual contest on the date of the ice going out, there are expectations of an earlier break-up than has been the case for several years past. While the dates submitted cover about a month, the majority appear to centre closely around the end of April, with a fair number also in the first few days in May. For two years past the date had been May 5th, and several of the con- testants appear to believe that it will occur a third time. Others are pretty generally of the opin- ion that the break-up will come a few days earlier. On some occasions in the past, the publishers have had a rather narrow escape from being faced with a serious situation on ac- count of this contest. They have watched with some anxiety until a certain date was passed, and sometimes only one day has sep- arated danger from comparative safety. We might say that this year is no exception and if the ice should disappear on the wrong day, the receipts of the business during the year will be somewhat sadly depleted. Perhaps we are in more danger than usual, as the number of readers who believe they can guess what the ice is going to do is increasing, but we have taken chances before and escaped without serious penalties so it is altogether likely that the contest will open as usual next spring. A PROBLEM FOR SOLOMON Superior Court Judge Lester W. Roth of the United States was confronted with a knotty problem of a father asking the courts to prevent his son from becoming an ungainly giant, and a mother who doesn't care how large her son grows so long as he remains healthy and bright. The youth is Adolphe Edward Roome Jr., who is only 14 years old, weighs 235 pounds, and is over six feet tall. with his mother in court as she appeared to fight the father's request that science be invoked to prohibit further growth of the youth. He is shown Says Fishing is Good Now In Animanipissing Lake Captain McCarthy Burns was up from Latchford yesterday and reports that he had some fine sport this week in Animanipis- sing Lake this week, fishing through the ice. Several fine trout were caught by his party and one monster, which dressed 14 pounds. The ice on the lake is two and a half feet thick, but channels in the Montreal River are now open, the Captain says. Two men met a violent death in the Cochrane district on Satur- day. John J. Hamilton was killed by a falling tree on his farm and Stanislaus Holdys was drowned in the Abitibi River while at work at the Abitibi Canyon. FACES CHARGE OF ARSON FOLLOWING BURNING OF STORE (Continued from Page 1) Provincial Constable S. V. Mc- Lelland swore to having seen shed of the property from one of two back doors in the store, and there was evidence also that the It's Not a Secret Society During the past few days we ferent parties about the lack of publicity given the doings of the local Board of Trade. It is claim- ed that the members of that body not always advised of the acts of the and that there should be a more general knowledge of the matters dealt are executive with between meetings. Perhaps this is partly a change from the former plan of holding regular monthly meetings of the Joard, but in any case, we do not believe that the executive, or council as it is called, has had any intention in the past of working in secret. due to Our own belief, expressed more than once, is that there is no nec- essity for concealing anything that is done in the public interest. Neither do we believe that there has been any attempt on the part of the executive to cover up the actions of that body. It may be, however, that there has been some overlooking of the value of publicity in the great majority of matters that are for the public welfare and in the pub- lic interest. If such has been the front door was padlocked, but that the glass panel on one of the rear entries had been broken suf- ficiently to permit a hand to be inserted., A plaster cast purport- ing to be a representation of the cane marks in the snow was in- troduced as one of more than 20 exhibits produced in court. At the time of the fire. Alexander's store was in charge of George Watson, representing a bankruptcy trustee under an in- terim receiving order, and a Montreal accountant named Per- rault testified that, on an insur- ance policy of $5,000, his firm, acting for creditors, had subse- quently received $1400. Watson took an inventory af- ter the fire and, without allowing for damage done, estimated the value of the stock at $2200. It was later sold as salvage for $125 he said.

It secret society in any sense, but just an organization of citizens who are trying by this means to do a little for the public good. All members can be familiar with its doings, simply by attending the meetings regularly, and The Hail- eyburian is always quite willing to give the business due publicity. The organization has done good work in the past, has been the means of inaugurating and carry-| ing through to a successful con- clusion many movements that have proved beneficial and there} is still plenty of opportunity for public service in this way. Mem-} hership fees are low and any cit- izen can lend a hand in the work of the Board.

Ad- joining the store, Dan Sorochan said, he has a rooming house with between 70 and 80 persons living there at the time of the fire. ; After the fire, Alexander was found at Swastika asleep on a bench, Constable McLelland said. He professed ignorance of the blaze and said he was going to Toronto, but as the train was not due for some hours, the officer asked him to return to Kirkland Lake for further questioning. Later, he was allowed to go, but was arrested two days later. Watson and Chief Mathieson said lee had found an overcoat with |frayed cuffs, which they identi- \fied as having been worn by Alex- lander on the afternoon of Nov- !ember 25, on a nail at the rear of {the store* after the fire the fol- \lowing morning. ' The case for the Crown con- |cluded last night with the testim- lony of Constable McLelland and \a chemist of the McColl Fronten- ac Oil Company, in which the prosecution sought to show that a gallon of gasoline, returned by Alexander to a local garage. and which he claimed to have been that purchased by him on the day previous to the fire, were not the same. Samples of both the gas returned and that contained in NOTICE the tank from which the original purchase had been made had been taken by the constable to Toron- to to have the tests made. The case is proceeding today, after night sessions both Tues- day and yesterday. Matters of Routine only at Regular Council Meeting (Continued from page 1) that he had worked for years without an increase and that he spent 16 hours daily on duty. However, it was decided that no change could be made before the end of the year. A request from the chief for four new "Stop" signs and two school area signs for the streets was discussed and it was decided to procure these locally, as it was believed that some money could be saved. Some members of the council ev- en went so far as to volunteer to paint one or more of the signs. Councillor Gagnon stated that the surplus earth from excava- tion for the addition to the Sep- arate school was to be used to fill a depression in View Street, and it was decided to investigate the condition of the road to the cem- etery as soon as the frost is out, with a view to having improve- ments made there. It was decided that the town should pay the wages of a substitute pumpman, who had filled in while the regu- lar man was ill for six days. At the close of the meeting, Mayor Hamilton told the council that the result of the visits of himself and Councillor Carson to Toronto has been the passing of the town's private bill, which en- abled the council to issue 20- year debentures to cover the present overdraft at the bank, and a¥o to renew the sum of $116,000 in outstanding debent- ures, if such action was neces- sary. Any portion of the latter amount could be so kea=dled, His Worship said, as it was found necessary. The only difference between what had been asked of the government and what had|bentures had been at 20 years, in- eee eee was that the term|stead of the 30-year term asked of the new issue or issues of de-!for.
