and COBALT WEEKLY POST THE HAILEYBURIAN # ; 5 HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 4th, 1933 subscription Rate: $200 per yeai bamaged Shifing Ice igh Water bers Smashed; South oved Sideways from xtreme Pressure combination of high water shifting ice on Lake Temis- Kathing last week-end serious- ly 'damaged the Haileybury f wharf. "An east wind on Friday drove the icefield against the outer part of the structure, breaking timbers placed perpen- diculirly against the main part of Mfixe wharf and shifting the sou- thern end towards shore The warehouse was shook up to some extent and the damage appears to be considerable. The ice was ap- parently forced underneath the planking by the wind. On Monday another east wind caused some further crushing of the structure, but the pressure was less than on the first sion and the damage was greatly increased. A change * the wind on Monday night re- lieved the situation and with the gradual melting of the icefield, the worst of the trouble appears to be over. occa- not b | The breakwater at the airport appears to be standing the strain satisfactorily. The sloping sides which are exposed allow the ice to be pushed up, thus lessening the pressure. A strong north wind forced the ice up the slope on that side and deposited great piles on the top during the great- er part of the length. This pre- sents an unusual picture, with 'the great piles of ice several feet 7 high heaped up and turning white since being exposed to the air. ». Several days will elapse before the lake is clear, from present appearances. -- K . ~The total "€apacity per day of the flour mills of Canada during last year was nearly 112,000 bar- rels. 7° DEVELOPING PRINTING MacLEAN'S To my former Customers: OUR GOOD QUALITY FINISHING can be had from A.

Their fame as the travellers in the "covered wagon" had preceded them and residents of the district were on the lookout for the wan- derers for a few days before they arrived, knowing that they had teft North Bay on Monday of last week. The travellers were given a warm reception and many peo- ple hastened to lend what aid they could.

Daylight Saving Still Live Topic In the District obalt in Favor, Other Towns Still Considering; Short Period Proposed Daylight saving continues to be a lively topic of speculation in this district, with the latest pro- posal -- emanating New Liskeard council--suggesting the period of fast time be limited to the months of June, July and August. Cobalt council already is on record as favoring putting on the clocks on May 15, turning them back four months later, while Haileybury council has not considered the matter of- ficially, but may do so at the next meeting. The qeustion will be up for discussion at New Liskeard coun- cil next week, it is stated, as no- tice of motion has been given by Councillor Taylor to have a by- law prepared enforcing daylight saving time from June 1 to Au- gust 30, and he said a few days ago he thought the scheme should have a trial in the three towns. New Liskeard Board of Trade, with two members dissenting, is on record as favoring the fast time, but Haileybury é | Board is against the idea, and Cobalt Board has not from and Reductions in the Amount of Relief Now Being Made All Applicants Must Answer a Questionnaire on Their Financial Standing With tions in the amount spent for re- a view to further reduc- lief in Haileybury, the town coun- cil held a_ special meeting on Thursday night last, when a ques- tionnaire was prepared which re- quires all applicants for assis- tance to give, complete particulars of their financial position.. These fornis were handed to all parties on the 'relief list on Monday, when they came to draw their supplies for the week and must be filled in and returned before another issue will be given. It had been decided in April that all relief issues would cease on May lst, but it was found that, athough the amounts. re- quired had been reduced by more than 25 per cent., there weer still people who had no means of ob- taining the necessities of life. For these the questionnaire was designed and their circumstances will be carefully considered in future issues. Town officials and members of the. council express the expecta- tion that the steps will bring the amount necessary down to one-half of what was required during the winter months. Some reductions have been made in the quantities of supplies allowed, but no individual or family is be- ing allowed to suffer unduly, it is stated. Cc. N. R.
