TLI McGillivray, R. m4 Jan. 3 'E HAILEYBURIAN | Vol. 28; No. 39 HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 29th, 1932 > oC SUE Os Rate: $200 per year Anniversary of Masonic Lodges to be Observed Gathering in Haileybury This Evening to Celebrate In- stitution in 1907 Haileybury Lodge and Cobalt Silver Lodge, AF. & AM., will observe the 25th anniversary of their Institution with a big joint meeting in the Haileybury Ma- sonic Temple this evening, which has been arranged to celebrate the completion of 25 years of Masonic work in this section of the North. It was on Deceinber 17th and 18th, 1907, that tle two Lodges were Instituted, just one day a- part, as is evidenced by the num- bers allotted to the two bodies, Haileybury Lodge being designa- tde No. 485 and Silver Lodge No. 486. Plans for the celebration have been in course of prepara- tion for some weeks and it is ex- pected that there will be a large gathering present when the meeting opens at 6.30. The first Worshipful Master of Haileybury Lodge, R.W. Bro. N. Je McAulay, will preside at the Lodge meeting and also at the banquet which will follow, and it is expected-that there will be several of the other original offi- cers of the two Lodges present to take part in the proceedings. The majority of them are gone from the North, however, but there are still a few who will be available. R.W. Bro. CG W. Haentschel, who was District Deputy Grand Master of this district in 1907 and who officiated at the Institution of the Lodges, will be present and will take part in the program. The Lodge meeting will be fol- lowed by a banquet, to which all Masons in the district are invit- ed. Both lodges have devoted considerable time towards the arrangements and the success of the event appears to be assured. CANNOT TRACE ORIGIN OF MIDNIGHT BLAZE IN GARAGE ON RORKE AVE. The fire brigade, under Chief Marcella, failed to trace the ori- gin of a blaze that badly damaged a motor car belonging to Wilfrid Charbonneau ,in his garag@ on Rorke Avenue at 12.30 on Tues- day morning. The interior of the car was so badly damaged that it was impossible to ascertain how the fire started. Mr. and Mrs. Charbonneau and the family had been out in the car late on Monday night and it was shortly after their return home that they saw smoke com- ing from the garage. The bri- gade was called and with the aid of the chemical extinguisher on the truck had the fire out in short order, but the upholstering and woodwork of the car is badly damaged. The heat had even broken the windows. ne SA ee aes G. A. Cavin, an old resident of Cobalt, will leave the North for Toronto at the beginning of the year. VISITS KING GEORGE Here is the Rajah of Khallicote, who has reached London, to pay a visit to the King-Emperor. The picture was taken when the Rajah arrived in Victoria Station Christmas Was. Almost a Green One in the North Heavy Rain on Saturday Melted Greater Part of Snow; Lake Cleared for Skating Haileybury and this part of the North Country almost had anoth- er "green Christmas" when a heavy rain on Saturday took the greater part of the snow and left the ground bare over the greater part of the cleared spaces, al- though considerable remained in the woods when the frost came on Sunday night. Almost the whole surface of Lake Temiska- ming was cleared of snow and since Monday morning has pro- vided the finest-skating that could be wished for. This has overcome the disappointment that was felt by the younger members of the community when, at the start of the winter; the lake was quickly covered with snow. Hundreds of people have been out skating and many have thus seen more of the lake than they ever did before. Mild weather has prevailed for the past couple of weeks, follow- ing one of the coldest spells ever experienced in December, and people are beginning to say that perhaps the worst of the winter is over. Whether this can be true or not, the let-up has been welcome on the one hand as serv- ing to lighten the coal bills, but on the other has been rather dis- appointing, it has slowed up the making of ice on the curling rink and softened up the surface on the skating rinks. -------- Shipments of ore from Cobalt mines during the week ending December 16, totalled 237,677 pounds. Of this the Mining Corporation shipped two cars with 172,377 pounds and the O'Brien one car with 65,300 pounds. For the week ending December 23, only one car went from Cobalt, ship- ped by the Mining 'Corporation and containing 96,358 pounds. During that week the Miller Lake O'Brien shipped acar from Elk Lake, with pounds.

This old copy was printed _ June 11th, 1910, when the paper was just six years old and was still being published by the late C. C. Farr, founder of Haileybury and The Haileyburian. From the various stories and articles in the old paper, Hailey- bury was experiencing a building boom in those days and consider- able space is taken up ina descrip- tion of the new structures which were being erected in the down- town section. Among them were the Maple Leaf Hotel, an addi- tion to the Attorney Hotel, anew block on Broadway Street, just west of the present Haileyburian Office, besides several residences. Cyril T. Young-was mayor of the town at that time, while N. R. Green, S: D. Briden, EB. J: Morris and others whose names are not so familiar were members of the council. C. E. Hindson was the town building inspector and in a report of a council meet- ing it was stated that Jas. Mc- Farlane was appointed sanitary inspector. In the editorial columns there are several articles by Mr. Farr, written in his characteristic and intimate style and dealing with many matters of general as well as local interest. The news col- umns contain, among other stor- ies, the public school report for the month of May that year, in which are to be found the names of many well known citizens of the town at the present time, who were then receiving their early education. There are also|" many others who have drifted to other parts but whose names are still familiar, while still others have passed away. An interesting feature of the advertising columns is the fact that there were several real es- tate dealers, all of whom were of- fering for sale choice building lots in various parts of the town, besides some residences and other buildings. Among the local and personal items is one stating that James Dunn had accepted a position as bartender at the Maple Leaf. Mr. Dunn is now the vice-presi- dent of the Toronto Maple Leaf ball club of the International League. Another item says that the Haileybury band made its first appearance, under the direc- tion of Mr. McGillicuddy, and (Continued on Page 3) Public Health Nurse Reports December Work Visits to Schools and Homes in Town Made Busy Period; Many Toxoid Treatments Visits to schools and homes are recorded in the report of the pub- lic health nurse, Miss Gladys L. Motley, which has been _ issued this week, covering the period December Ist to December 22nd. Miss Motley is now enjoying a short holiday at her home in Tho- rold and will return to duty with the opening of the school term next week. During the period covered by the report, the nurse made 18 visits to the schools and inspected 312 pupils. There were 10 treat- ments given, while nine pupils were excluded from the schools. There were 83 readmitted after illness or previous exclusion. Home visits in December total- led 66, during which 90 persons were dealt with, according to the report, and Miss Motley attend- ed 17 consultations. She spent 12 hours in the office and held the usual four child welfare confer- ences, with a total attendance of 23, four of whom were new _ in- fants. On December 16th, Miss Mot- ley assisted with 14 toxoid treat- ments at the public school, and reports that during November and December 150 children have received the complete course of treatments. Miss Motley was off duty through illness for three days, December 5th to 7th, having con- tracted a slight attack of influen- za, but still she apparently had a busy month and has earned her short holiday.

CLEANING HISTORIC FIGURES success has attended tentative experiments in Considerable the first cleaning the famous war effigies in Westminster Abbey. These figures have rested in their glass cases for centuries and some experts predicted that they would fall to dust if re- moved from their sealed boxes, but such has not proved the case. Here we see Queen Anne, whose gar- ments have always been a source of interest, chiefly they could not be seen. Ladies will be surprised to learn that a gingerly peep revealed that under her fine brocades Queen Anne is wearing a leather petticoat. C.N.R.

Council by Acclamation With One New Member; Nine Nominated Ratepayers of the Township of Bucke will go to the polls on Monday next, January: 2nd, to vote for the Reeve only, as a re- sult of the nominations held in the council chambers at North Cobalt on Monday of this week. Of the nine men nominated for the four seats, only a_ sufficient number to complete the board filed their qualifications, but Reeve Bertram Normandy, who has held office for several years, has two opponents. They are John Finnerty and Alexander J. McRae, both well known resi- dents of the township. At the open meeting which fol- lowed the nominations there was considerable criticism of the pre- sent administration, led chiefly by Mr. McRae, one of the candidates for the reeveship. There were faults found with the way in which the business of the muni- cipality.was being carried on and it was alleged that many oppor- tunities for economy were being overlooked. Reeve Normandy de- fended the administration and promised careful handling of the township's, affairs if re-elected and all candidates present were given the opportunity to speak to the ratepayers. The council for 1933 will con- sist of O. Ayotte, R. R. Heard, and F. J. Radley, members of the board this year, and J. A. Laroc- que, who will replace R. Stough- ton, who has moved to Timmins. Others nominated were J. Frack- leton, Thos. Poole, J. Molyneaux, Ol! Nelson and A. Totten, the ma- jority of whom have at one time or another served on the count of the municipality. TRANSMISSION GOOD FOR TELEPHONE CALL FROM SOUTH AMERICA Mr. and Mrs. Cyril Atkinson of Buenos Aires, South America, rang up their father and mother, Judge and Mrs. Atkinson, Rorke Avenue, Haileybury, on Christ- mas Eve, to wish them a Merry Christmas and to extend loving greetings after a period of three years absence. 'Transmission for the call was perfect and Judge and Mrs. Atkinson state that they are very grateful to the Northern Telephone Company for facilitat- ing in every way possible the long distance conversation. No- thing was overlooked and the voices could be heard as plainly as though the faraway speakers were right in Haileybury. a Figures compiled by the Dom- inion Bureau of Statistics show a total of 2,368 radio sets in Tem- iskaming in 1931.
