Page 4 THE. HAILEYBURIAN THURSDAY, SEPT. 29th, 1932 THE HAILEYBURIAN Issued every Thursday from The Haileyburian Office, Broadway St., Haileybury SUBSCRIPTION RATES In Canada--$2.00 per year in advance. In U.S.--$2.50 per year in advance Leishman & Sutherland, Publishers Keep the Streets Clean Some business men who have premises on Ferguson Avenue in the downtown section are of the opinion that the pavement on that thoroughfare is not being kept as clean as its qualities would warrant. They point to the fact that it is only occasion- ally washed down with the fire hose and that between times dirt of various kinds is allowed to accumulate and to lie undisturb- ed save by the wheels of passing vehicles. It is claimed that in some instances the refuse from stores is even being swept out on the street through the front doors, and the opportunity for making Haileybury a clean town is being neglected. This should get some attention from the proper authorities. If at all possible the main street should be kept well clear of rub- bish and if some business places are guilty of sweeping refuse out on the street it should be prevent- ed. The town has a fine thor- oughfare through its business section and it would not be diffi- cult to keep it clean, thus pre- senting a pleasing apeparance to visitors and citizens alike. Those with business places on the main street can do a lot to- wards overcoming the trouble themselves. Clothing Needed In another column will be found an appeal from Mrs. M. O. Houston, chairman of the town's reef committee, in which citi- zens are asked to contribute clothing for the families of the unemployed. The co-operation of all is requested in order that no one may suffer unduly throug- ghout the winter. This is a good cause and one in which every citizen can help. The committee has a very difficult job to do and they are handling it in the best possible way, not only taking precautions to see that no one 'goes without the necessities, but also that no duplication will be made and no person will get more than a fair share. The Haileyburian would add to the appeal to all citizens to be as generous as their circumstances will permit. The need will prob- ably be greater as the cold wea- ther approaches and it will not do for anyone to suffer either from cold or hunger if in the power of those in better circum- stances to prevent it. Canadian Exports Suffer ~ Some striking figures in regard to Canada's exports of farm pro- ducts to the United States, as compared with what they were some 12 years ago, are contained in the current issue of the "Com- mercial Intelligence Journal" pub- lished by the Department of Trade and Commerce at Ottawa. The total exports for the month of August in 1920, 1930, 1931 and 1932 are given, together with a two-months summary for each of the years mentioned. These figures show that while the total exports in August of 1920 were valued at $5,948,056, they had shrunk in value to $210,140 for August of this year. The figures for July and August were $12,154,392 in 1920 against $547,077 for the present year, with the years intervening show- ing a gradual decrease. A good example is the number of cattle exported. In 1920 they entered the United States free of duty, while now the U.S. tariff is from two and one-half to three cents per pound. In August of 1920, there were 25,919 cattle exported across the border. In 1932 there were 988. On every item of over 40 listed in the Journal there has been an_ in- crease in the tariff imposed, in some cases it has been multiplied many times and in no case is there an article which is admitted free. We have heard a great deal about the high tariff propensities of the Republic during the past few years, but it takes definite figures to make us realize just what it means. The loss of this market for our agricultural pro- ducts must have been largely re- "sponsible for the present difficul- ties which Canadian farmers are facing. No doubt our own tariffs have offset theirs to some ex- tent, and other markets are be- ing gradually opened up, but the fact remzins that millions of dol- lars of business have been lost to the basic industry in this country *|during the past few years. Fire Prevention Week The week of October 9th to 15th has been named as "Fire Prevention Week" this year and everybody is being urged to do something towards lessening the danger of conflagrations which have taken all too heavy a toll of both property and life in this country. To Hailebyburians the lesson should be a timely one, as on Tuesday next, October 4th, will fall the anniversary of the great fire which destroyed the greater part of the town in 1922. Although 10 years have passed since that great disaster, it is still fresh in the minds of many of our present-day citizens, but it is to be feared that the bitter lesson we learned on that day has not had the effect it should have had. One may be pardoned for the be- lief that, given the same condi- tions, something of thé same nature could easily happen at the present. We are prone to take too much for granted and to trust too much to luck in the mattter of fires. It is true that for the past year or two the town has been _ ex- ceptionally free from bad fires, but this is no guarantee that it will continue' so, unless we all do our part towards making it safe. Should we not all take stock to some extent during fire preven- tion week this year? No one needs to be told what to do to make premises safe from fire. It is simply a case of using common sense in making sure that we are incurring no unnecessary risk. We cannot provide for all con- tingencies, of course, but we can, and should, take individual pre- cautions to see that there is no- thing overlooked which would help to prevent the spread of fire if it should occur. Let us think of this, not only on October 4th, and during Fire Prevention Week but in our everyday pursuits, and use at all times the care which is the only remedy for the great fire losses that have scourged the land for generations. (oe Dr. va Gaia Is Visitor In Cobalt District This Week A distinguished visitor to Co- balt this week is Dr. F. G. Bant- ing, of insulin fame, who is reg- istered at the Fraser House while staying in this district. Dr. Bant- ing is here on a holiday and_ is taking a rest, accepting no invi- tations to appear in public. He has been sketching various scenes which have taken his fancy, and also has been renewing wartime acquaintances with Dr. E. F. Armstrong, with whom he was associated while overseas> Schools to Have a Couple of Holidays Next Week Pupils of the Public and Sep- arate Schools will have a couple of holidays next week, when the annual convention of the South Temiskaming Teachers' Institute will be held on Thursday and Fri- day, October 6th and 7th. The convention will be held in New Liskeard this year and the usual program of addresses, papers, etc., is being prepared. At the convention last year it was sug- gested that the 1932 meeting should include a trip to James Bay, over the extension of the T. & N. O. Railway, but this has not been provided for in the program, although the teachers of the district to the north have planned an excursion to Mooso- nee. Portable Diamond Drill As an Aid to Prospecting A portable diamond drill out fit, weighing 140 pounds and de- signed to act as an aid to pros- pecting, has been shown in Hail- eybury this week. The machine which has a capacity of 100 to 150 feet, is mounted in the rear ofa small car for display purposes and looks compact and cap- able in every way. The drill is driven by a small gasoline engine which is a part of the machine, and it can be easily conveyed to outlying prospects where roads are not available for heavier drills to be taken in. Considerable interest has been shown by local men in the machine, when it has been started up and ran for per- iods during the stay of the dem- onstrator. It is known as_ the "X-Ray Diamond Drill Outfit." CHANGE OF VENUE MADE FOR HEARING APPEAL FROM DAMAGE VERDICT A change of venue has been ar- ranged for the re-trial of one phase of a civil action which came before Mr. Justice Sedgewick and a jury at the Temiskaming Assizes in Haileybury last De- cember, and in which a_ verdict for $10,000 damages was varied on appeal to the extent that re- assessment of the amount was directed by the higher court at Osgoode Hall. It has been ar- ranged that the later development in the action will be held at Cochrane on October 11, when the Assizes for that district will open. The case is that in which Dan- iel E. Keeley and his young son, Allan, sued Owen Evans for damages, following an accident in which Evans' car and the boy's bicycle were involved, and as a result of which the lad had one leg amputated. The older Kee- ley and Evans both were employ- ed by the McIntyre Mines at Schumacher. The jury at Hail- eybury held Evans to have been negligent and awarded damages to plaintiff. Mr. Justice Sedge- wick, who heard the original case is slated to preside at Cochrane. Still No Word of Prospector Believed Lost James Daly Not Heard From for Several Months; Fears Held for Safety There is still no word of the whereabouts of James Daly, Haileybury prospector who has been beiieved missing in the woods of Northern Quebec for some weeks past, following the finding of a packsack with his name near a trail in the area where he was thought to have been working. Since the finding of the pack, by Ed. Croteau, on June 29th, and his seeing it again a month later in the same loca- tion, there has been no news of Daly, who went into the district at the opening of the prospecting season in the spring. There were reports last week that a body had been found gad that it was thought to be Daly, but these were found to be with- out foundation. Chief of Police MacGirr got in touch with M.B. Grover, at Amos, who stated that up to a few days ago there had been no news of the missing man. With the total absence of news of Mr. Daly, and the time draw- ing near when he would be ex- pected to return to Haileybury in the ordinary course of events, fears are being expressed this week that he has had suffered some mishap. He is, however, well versed in the ways of the woods, having spent many years prospecting in various parts of the North Country, and those who know him well say that he may turn up safely any time. The T. & N. O. Station at South Porcupine was damaged to the extent of $800 in a fire of un- known origin last week. Many express parcels in the building were damaged or destroyed. The town of Cochrane is instal- ling street names and haying all its houses numbered, the former being done at the expense of the town and the latter by the prop- erty owners. In the Matter of the Estate of Lorne B. Howey, late of the Town of Haileybury, in the District of Temiskaming, De- ceased. NOTICE is hereby given that all persons haying any claim or demand against the late Lorne B. Howey, who died on or about the 29th day of May, 1932, at the city of Winnipeg in the Province of Manitoba, are required to send by post prepaid or to deliver to the undersigned Solicitor for Clara B. Howey, Executrix of the Fstate of the said Lorne B. Howey their names and addresses and full particulars in writ- ing of their claims and statements of their account and the nature of the securities, if any, held by them. AND TAKE NOTICE that after the 15th day of October, 1932, the said Clara B. Howey will proceed to distri- bute the assets of the said deceased among the persons entitled thereto, having regard only to the claims to which she then shall have had notice and that the said Clara B. Howey will not be liable for the assets or any part thereof to any person of whose claim she shall not then have received notice. DATED at Haileybury, this 14th day of September, A.D. 1932. ~ R. D. CUMMING, Haileybury, Ontario, Solicitor for the said Clara B. Howey. » 24-3-¢ Harvest Should Be Example for Christian Life Rector of St. Paul's Draws Para- Ilel Between Earthly and Spiritual Crop A parallel between the earthly and spiritual harvest was drawn by Rev. Canon F. H. Hincks, rec- tor of St. Paul's Church, in his Thanksgiving messages on Sun- day last, when the annual har- vest festival was celebrated at both morning and evening ser- vices. The church was beauti- fully decorated with products of the field and garden, intermingled with autumn leaves, and in addi- tion to the main services of the day, which commenced with the celebration of Holy Communion at 8 o'clock, a special service for the children was held in the af- ternoon. The familiar hymns of thanks- giving for a bountiful harvest and the anthem "Sing to the Lord of Harvest," by the choir, were in- cluded in the services. In the anthem the solo parts were taken by Miss Velma Thorpe, Mr. H. A. Day and Mr. H. A. Seymour. Speaking at the evening ser- vice from the text "Herein is My Father Glorified, that ye bear much fruit,' Canon Hincks said that the harvest was not only a time of rejoicing, but a time for deep thinking in regard to the spiritual life. In His teachings, Christ took many examples from nature, showing that just as in the life of a plant there is a steady going forward to the time of production, with a definite ob- jective of harvest, so God has for us a definite purpose and our spiritual life should be one of steady progress towards the bearing of spiritual fruit. "Just as the branches of the earthly plant keep in constant touch with the root as the main source of life, so must the Christian keep in touch with Christ in order that his Kingdom may be advanced on earth. The plant does not exist of itself, is not conscious and not able to enjoy life, but rather lives for us that we may enjoy it and be reminded of the beauty and glory of God." In this there was another lesson, the speaker said, that we are not simply to gather in, but to give out as welll]: and to be a blessing to those with whom we come in contact. This was true in the lives of the saints. God gave them their strength and as their example encourages us, so should we set an example: to others. In plant life there was always a conflict, and many enemies to be overcome. This represented the temptations to be met with constantly in the life of the Christian, who might easily grow to perfection were it not for spir- itual enemies. The fight to over- come these enemies was the cause of better fruit, Canon Hincks said, and there was also a good example of this in the fact that plants growing farthest north and overcoming the diffi- culties of the rigorous climate brought forth better fruit than those grown under more ideal conditions. "We thank God for His bless- but we must also take His les- sons to heart. There is a time of testing to come, when we will be required to give an accounting and we must seek God's grace in order to carry out His will on earth." Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Evans, resi- dents of the Cobalt camp for many years, and who have been staying at Temagami since the former severed his connection some weeks ago with the Cobalt Foundry, are leaving today for Wingham, where they intend to spend the winter. ings,' Canon Hincks concluded, IS YOUR RADIO WORKING?
