THURSDAY, JULY 23rd, 1936 DHE HAILEYBURIAN- English Paper Ridicules Tale of New Gold Rush So-Called "Wild West" Style Is Used in Telling of Inter- view by Telephone The London Daily Express, which as noted in these columns recently held an interview Boy long-distance telephone with Sheriff William Thuerck in re- gard to the reported gold strike in Bryce Township, near Engle- hart, has used the story to throw ridicule on a section of Northern Ontario of which it knows noth- ing. In the issue following the talk with the sheriff, the so-called "wild west" style of writing 1s used and an attempt is made to show that this district is some- thing like the fabled mbsing camps of afar goneage. Just what was the intention of the reporter, who represented himself as the financial editor to Mr. Thuerck, it is hard to say. It could scarcely be possible that any great number of English 'people would take the article seriously, it is so entirely ridicu- lous. The article starts off as fol- lows: "The cry of gold has sent thousands of people in cars, bug- gies, covered wagons, and on foot, to Bryce Township, near Englehart, Northern Ontario, where a spectacular gold disco- very is said to have been made. Mr. William Thuerck, sheriff of Haileybury, sat in his jailhouse last night and talked into the telephone, while outside cars, horses, buggies streamed past towards the sleepy Canadian township which has been trans- ferred into a hectic whirlpool by the discovery of gold." The re- porter then gives what purports to be a conversation with the sherift, which is really beyond be- lief. He tries to describe in what he apparently fondly believes to be the vernacular of this country details of what he was told by Mr. Thuerck, ascribing state- ments and using words that we venture to say have never been heard in the district of Temiska- ming. 7 The only possible explanation we can see for the article is that the reporter, on discovering that the gold strike was not of such great dimensions as he was at first led to believe, dug up some old novel of many years past, let his imagination run loose and hoped to at least write something that would give readers of his paper a thrill. Still one wonders why. No possible object could be gained and the thing is so far- fetched that it could, not be be- lieved by anyone with average intelligence. It must remain one of the unexplainable occurrences. but it is surely no credit- te English journalism. District Ore Shipments During the period July 2nd to July 17th, there were seven cars of ore shipped from Cobalt mines, according to the statement of the T. & N.O. Railway.

Hoa Thousands See Quints While the actual count of visi- tors to the Dionne quintuplets last week-end was not available, it was conservatively estimated at North Bay that 6,300 persons saw the famous sisters during Saturday and Sunday. On Satur- day 891 cars passed over the road between Callander and the Dafoe Hospital and on Sunday the num- ber was 1,229. An accurate count of the visitors is kept at the turnstiles leading into the hospi- tal grounds, but Hon. David A. Croll, chief guardian of the babies will release the figures only at the end of NS GLE o No "Honor" Marks No "honor" marks are given candidates who pass the High School Entrance examinations in the Kapuskasing district, accord- ing to a decision of the entrance board in that district. The Nor- thern Tribune complained about this, with the result that a letter of explanation from W. Hiscocks, secretary of the board, was pub- lished in last week's Tribune. The system of granting certifi- cates on the recommendation of the school principal, the letter states, makes it very difficult to arrive at "honor" standing, as "there is no exact uniformity in estimating the abilities of the candidates." boa Shot Neighbor's Cow Walter Babbington, a Truax Township farmer, was committed for trial on a charge of shooting a cow belonging to a neighbor, Walter Paget, when he appeared before Magistrate Atkinson in police court here on Friday. The cow had apparently been bother- ing him and he took the law into his own hands. He was allowed out on bail pending his trial.

So I appeal to you from the standpoint of sheer economy to be courteous to other motorists on all occasions. , Practise and preach the golden rule of the road -- "Show to others the same courtesy that you would like to have shown to you".
