To our readers we would offer this advice: Shop at home and shop early. The local men who have provided the goods ad- vertised in these pages are fel- and deserving of The wares which they are offering have been care- fully chosen witha view to meet- ing the requirements of the local people and we all know that they gives courteous and efficient ser- vice at all times. We can all help the community by showing the true community spirit and co-operating with them to the} utmost of our power low-citizens your business. Another way in which we can all help to make the Christmas season a more enjoyable one is by doing a little planning in ad- vance. There is nothing so dis- couraging to a storekeeper who is doing his best to meet the re- quirements of his customers asa last-minute rush, when purchas- ers who have unduly delayed their shopping have to take rush service and perhaps miss that would have been theirs earlier in the season. Each one can do something to avoid this by doing at least a part of their shopping early. Better service can then be given by the merchants, better satisfaction ob- tained by the customers and a better community feeling engen- hour opportunities dered all around. Christmas is the greatest fes tival of the year and each one should try to make it a joyous season, so far as possible HAILEYBURY PEOPLE COMMENCE TO REALIZE BEARS ARE PLENTIFUL Haileybury people are begin- ning to réalize 'that bears are plentiful in the environs of the town and these animals are get- ting quite familiar. In addition to the cub written about in an- other column, another bear of a quite respectable size is reported as having been seen yesterday afternocn, right in the middle of the town. It was sighted at the rear of the Matabanick Hotel, where it was evidently in search for something to eat, and made off when an attempt was made to corner it Just why the bears are running around at this time of year is something of a mystery. It is generally believed that they den up for the winter when the first cold spell comes. Perhaps this an exceptionally mild winter, or it may mean _al- most anything else. is going to be Later reports are to the effect that this bear was seen during the afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Pipe, where he | had caused some consternation. | Mrs, Pipe telephoned Chief of Police MacGirr, who with W. S Blackwall and another man, tried to capture the animal, which had taken refuge under the verandah. From there he broke his way in- to the cellar through a window and an attempt was made there to get a rope around his neck, but the animal broke his way through another window and es- caped. It was .t racked towards the lake and it is presumed that this was the same bear that was seen later at the Matabanick. There appears to be some doubt as to the size of the animal. Some of those who saw it state it was a few months old, while others guess its age at a year. It is not believed that this was the same bear as that seen on Sunday morning.

TRAIL RANGER AND TUXIS DOINGS Hockey is occupying the minds of most of the Tuxis boys at the present time. The two groups, the Haileybury Hawks and the Canucks are forming three teams between them.

An explosion of dynamite, several sticks of which had been left, it is said, in an old lard can found in the basement of the building, occurred while Mrs. Armour was engaged at the task, and she was so_ seriously injured that death occurred late the same days. According to information re- ceived here, there is considerable mystery attached to the presence of the explosive. It is understood that Mrs. Armour herself had said that she had noticed what appeared to her to be a number of old sausages in the pail, and she had used the receptacle in which to place an oil-soaked rag, which she lighted in order to thaw out the pipe. An explosion followed, in which the woman wish to secure for your money Look Carefully Through the Advt's in This Newspaper will be played at the local arena. was very badly hurt, both arms Is Remember!

She was counscious to the last, it is stated. After the explosion, Mrs. Armour managed to crawl out of the basement, although suffering intense pain and with extensive injuries to her body. The accident happened in the af- ternoon, and death followed in hospital about nine o'clock the same night. The body was sent yesterday afternoon to Carleton Place, where the funeral is to be held this afternoon. Mr. Armour, who is the only survivor, is en- gaged at the Lake Shore Mine in Kirkland Lake. Mrs. Armour came north from Windsor about 18 months ago, being married to her husband in Cobalt in June, 1930. The cellar of the building is quite low, and it is impossible to stand erect in the basement, ac- cording to the information avail- able here. Considerable building activity has been in progress in house is located, and it is sur- mised that the dynamite had been left after some work had been done in blasting rock. 'The ex- plosive was in the pail, it is said, but Mrs. Armour was not aware of its nature. It is not known how long the stuff had been ly- ing in the basement of the house.
