THE TUS) SAD Ooore HAILEYBURIAN Vol. 32; No. 17 HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 23rd, 1936 Subscription Rate: $2.00 per year Averts Suicide By Pulling Man From Lake Here Robert Watson Has Unexpected Swim on Monday Evening; Rescue is Effected Robert Watson, operator of the town pumps, had an unexpec- ted swim in the lake here on Monday evening, when he avert- ed by quick action what had all the appearances of an attempted suicide on the part of a~ young man living in the south end. Driving along the lake shore with a truck, on his way to pick up a load of wood from the breakwater at the old mill yard Mr. Watson saw the man sitting at the edge of the water, and on seeing the approaching vehicle he deliberately sprang into the lake. Without waiting for any prelim- inary preparation, Watson, who is a good swimer, followed the other into the water, got a hold of him and, in spite of struggles and commands to "leave me alone; I want to die," on the part of the intending suicide, manag- ed to bring him to shore. When other help arrived on the scene, a message was sent to pro- vincial police and Sergeant V. T. Reed went to investigate. It was discovered that the man had been drinking and that he had rela- tives in town who could take care of him until he sobered up. They took him in charge and no action was taken by police auth- orities. Mr. Watson said that there appeared to be no doubt that the man intended to take his own life.

HAILEYBURY MAN GETS HIGH MASONIC POST IN ~ GRAND LODGE ELECTION Herbert A.

The way the new scale works out in the local school is that there is a reduction of $89 in the additional salary allowed the domestic science teacher, and $66 in that allowed the teacher of manual training, besides less ser- ious cuts in the grants on main- tenance and expenses in connec- tion with the two. This applies only to the school year ending June 30th last. The next year there will be a greater reduction in the grants received, as the new scale will apply to the whole 10 months of the school term. Only an increased appropriation by the municipality for school purposes, or a discontinuance of the technical classes can be the final outcome, according to mem- bers of the school board. ee The European spruce sawfly which is reported from points in the more southern sections of the province, has not so far made its appearance in the North.
