Pk] [ | THE HAILEYBURIAN Vol.' 32; No. 18 HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 30th, 1936 Subscription Rate: $2.00 per year Checking Up on Boycott Report From North Bay Manager of Information Bureau Visits Temagami and Hail- eybury This Week For the purpose of checking up on alleged boycotting of Nor- thern points, by service station operators and hotels in North Bay, H. Cousineau, manager of the Board of Trade's Information Bureau in that city this week paid a visit to Temagami and Haileybury, the two points from which most recent complaints have been registered, From Te- magami the complaint was madé inaletter from Arthur Stevens, of the Hotel Ronnoco, while in Haileybury the Board of Trade took up the question. Mr. Cousineau, who knows the North Country pretty thoroughly denies any misinformation being given out by his bureau. Rather,]| he says, it is their aim to send visitors to points north of the city, as they are sure to stop there on their way back. He has no control, however, over other individuals, and acknowledges that there may be isolated cases of trying to hold the southern visitors in the city as long as possible. In the course of his trip, Mr. Cousineau visited all the larger camps on Lake Temagami and in every instance found them well satisfied with the service given by the information bureau. Most of these places had been compel- led to turn people away during the tourist season, he says. All the principal camps are members, for which they pay an annual fee, and the bureau accepts member- ship from hotels and_ tourist camps, after investigation as to The latest revelation of the extent of the atrocious acti- vities of the Black Legion was disclosed when Dayton Dean, above, squat "execu- tioner" for the hooded order, admitted a second slaying. Dean, on trial for the slaying of Charles Pool, confessed on the stand that he had killed a negro at a Black Legion smoker. Week-End Trip of Englehart Boys Has Tragic End Melville Grey Drowned Sunday in Matabitchouan River; Was in Bathing the accommodations offered. Hotel Haileybury has a member- ship, as has also John Burns, who} operates a camp a few miles| north of this town. Both are offi-| cially listed among the bureau's recommended stopping places, Mr. Cousineau said. As a result of his trip north the bureau hopes to smooth out any misunderstandings and to im- prove its service to all points in the North Country. Bielek Brothers Given Three Years in Kingston On their way to Kingston Peni- tentiary to serve a three-year term for theft, Arthur and Wal- demar Bielek were brought to the district jail here on Tuesday from Cochrane by Provincial Constable Dickson. The men are brothers and were accused of breaking and enteting a hotel in Smooth Rock Falls and stealing money from the safe. They es- caped into the woods and it was only after a long chase that they were apprehended. Provincial officers from headquarters here took part in the hunt. One of the wanted men was captured a week after the burglary, while the other evaded the officers for'an- other week. They were first charged with armed robbery, but this was later reduced to break- ing and entering. A week-end trip of a party-of young fellows from Englehart had a tragic end on Sunday morn- ing, when one of their number, Melville Grey, aged 20 years, lost his life in the Matabitchouan River near its mouth. There were seven boys in the party, all of them between 17 and 20 years of age, and they had gone down to spend a few days in a cottage which they had rent- ed from a resident there. It was near the plant of the Northern Ontario Power Company where the tragedy occurred and the victim, who was a sonof Mr. and Mrs. Peter Grey, old residents of Englehart, had gone in bathing along with Alfred Hansen, an- other member of the party. According to Hansen, Grey had last been seen standing in the water up to his waist, and had been talking of taking a sun bath. Hansen swam away some distance and later missed his friend. Immediately an alarm was raised and Provincial Con- stable R. O. Stromberg was sum- moned from Cobalt. The officer located the body in eight feet of water and it was recovered and brought to the undertaking par- lors of Thorpe & Branchaud in Haileybury. After consultation with Coroner Dr. W. C. Arnold, the body was released for burial, and it was intimated that an in- quest would be held later. PROCLAMATION CIVIC H I HEREBY pe ee ee ee a stereo Monday, August 3rd AS CIVIC HOLIDAY IN THE TOWN OF HAILEY- BURY, AND CALL UPON ALL CITIZENS TO DULY OBSERVE THE SAME. OLIDAY PROCLAIM O. J. THORPE, Mayor SR, ee GPR SOAR IS ALAA A a a Se ee Showers Yesterday Morning Fail \ Cool weather and showers yes- terday morning did not seriously interfere with the holding of the Rotary Club's big aquatic event of the season and, while perhaps the crowds were smaller than they would have been if the tem- perature had been higher, the day was a success and provided en- tertainment and competition for a large number of entrants. A north wind did not seriously ruf- fle the water in the airport, where the swimming races were held, and during the afternoon the weather cleared up. In the various events there were good numbers of entrants, many from outside points, and the zaces were keenly contested. A good staff of workers was on hand to assist with the assemb- ling of the entrants into the var- ious classes and there was little | or no trouble in handling ~ the) crowds on the wharf and at the park. Among the special attractions were the exhibition of diving given by Johnny Tett, amateur champion of Canada, who © not only gave an impressive exhibi- tion of high and low diving, but put on a burlesque show that provided both interest and amus- ement for the assembled crowds. This was something out of the ordinary for this part of the country. The big fireworks dis- play in the evening was another show that was greatly enjoyed,| providing aperiod of real thrills} for the crowds at night. The dance and games on the wharf in the evening were well patronized, although they broke up a little earlier than usual, partly on account of the cool weather and partly because the orchestra had to catch a train shortly after midnight. On the whole, the day was a great suc- cess and the Rotarians.are well satisfied. They have asked The Haileyburian to extend their thanks to all who attended and all who assisted so well in the handling of the events, which were run off without a hitch. Two residents of New Liskeard Rotary Water Sports Held In Spite Of Cool Weather to Stop Holding of Big Aquatic Event of Season Here; Many Entries From Outside Points; Fireworks Display Spécial Night Attraction R. S. Taylor and Cecil Bond, very kindly assisted the committee, the former loaning his cabin crui- ser for the judges of the races and the latter sending down a Gravette launch. These two craft, with a cabin launch pro- vided by Wm. Whalen of Hailey- bury, gave the committee plenty of accommodation and there were several smaller boats provided by local citizens. The marathon race, usually held over a course from a point two miles up the lake, was chang- ed to a circular course of seven laps in the airport on account of the rough water, and the change gave a greater number of people the chance of watching the swim- mers.

The band about 20 strong, marched down from the station, after they had been met and welcomed by Mayor O. J. Thorpe, playing on the way to the park at the bathing beach. From there they were taken ina large truck of the Canada Nor- thern Power Corporation to New Liskeard, where they marched through the principal streets and gave the residents there several selections. They were then taken to Cobalt, where a similar | performance was given, and the band members arrived back in Haileybury in time for lunch. During the afternoon and evening there was plenty of mu- sic and later an orchestra form- ed of the band members provided the music for the dance on the wharf. On the whole, the enter- tainment provided by the North Bay men was greatly appreciated by the crowds and added mater- ially to the success of the big an- nual event. It is quite a few years since there has been a band jin any of the three Central Tem- jiskaming towns and the thanks of ithe public are extended to the {Rotary Club for bringing this |splendid company of musicians |here for the day. | The North Bay Nugget reports registration in 728 tourists at the Board of Trade's information bu- lreau in that city last week. Professor King Gordon to Lecture at Summer School Professor King Gordon, son of Rey. C. W Gordon,.Canadian nov- elist who writes under the name of Ralph Connor, arrived in the district on Tuesday and is giving a series of lectures at the Camp Lorrain Summer School, which is now heing conducted on the shore of Lake Temiskaming. Professor Gordon is a prominent C.C.F. worker and was a candidate in Victoria, B.C., in the last Federal election and also in a more recent by-election in that city. A differ- ence of opinion in theological matters between him and the college authorities in Montreal brought his name prominently before the public a year or two ago. Souvenir Air Mail Stamp Marks Service to Mud Lake The Haileyburian appreciates the courtesy of Dominion Sky- ways Limited in sending to this office a sample of the souvenir air mail stamp, which marked the first official service by air be- tween Haileybury and the new Mud Lake mining camp in Que- bec. The service started last week and the first letters were marked with a special stamp de- picting a prospecting scene, and showing a canoe and an aero- plane. The inscription is in both English and French: "Canada Air Mail. Poste Aerienne Canada; First Official Flight, Premier Vol Officiel; Mud Lake-Haileybury." The letter to The Haileyburian. although postmarked at Mud Lake on July 21st, did not reach this office until July 24th. The service is being carried on twice weekly ,each way, by Pilot D. F. McDonald, who operates the Sky- ways plane between the two FIRST IN 100 YEARS The first man to be excom- municated in 100 years, James 3unting, movie scenarist, of Chichester, England, plans an appeal against the edict pronounced by the Church of England.

Algonquins Go To Penetang for Training Period Local Company Preparing For Annual Outing; Leave on Tuesday Evening The local company of the Al- gonquin Regiment is preparing for their annual training period, which will commence next week at Penetang. They will leave on Tuesday evening next, travelling in special coaches on Train No. 46, and will reach the training camp on Wednesday. There they will join the other companies of the regiment and will become part of the brigade for the 10-day period. The other regiments are the Simcoe Foresters, the North- ern Pioneers and the Grey Regi- ment. It is expected that the local company, members of which are divided about evenly between the towns of Cobalt, Haileybury and New Liskeard, will be about 30 strong. Captain A. R. Herbert will be in command. a demonstration will be given by a company from the permanent forces and a corps of the Royal Canadian Signallers, and if suit- able landing fields can be secur- ed adjacent to-the camp grounds, there will also be a detachment from the Flying Corps on hand. This will be something new for the brigade, according to mem- bers of the local company. At the training camp this year; Four Lose Lives as House Burns in Quebec Village Mrs. J. E. Auger, Three Children Trapped in Flames From Unknown Origin From Noranda, Que., on Mon- day came the story of a fire tra- gedy which cost four lives, when the home of J. E. G. Auger at Lac Duffault, eight miles north of the mining town, was destroy- ed by fire shortly before mid- night on Sunday, Mrs. Auger and her three children were the fire victims, burned in their beds, while Mr. Auger and Mimi Pro- vonost, maid in the home, escap- ed in a critical condtiion after trying vainly to reach the others who were trapped in another part of the house. Both of the survivors are in Youville Hos- pital, Noranda. The origin of the fire was not determined on Monday. There were two theories advanced, one that mice chewing matches might have been responsible, and the other that a lamp was overturn- ed while being used to heat food for the youngest member of the family. The two survivors were so badly injured that they could tell little or nothing that would shed light on the tragedy. Mrs. Auger was confined to bed awaiting the birth o f her fourth child, according to the re- ports. Her husband and the maid had jumped to safety after un- successful efforts to save the others and were found lying out-_ side the burned building, by sec- tionmen at the station, who had been attracted by the flames and calls for help. There was no fire fighting apparatus. in the village and no supply of water, so the home was completely destroyed. Later reports are that the housemaid, Miss Provonist, died on Monday night in the hospital and that Auger is still in a criti- cal condition. An inquest will be held, but is being delayed until the outcome of his injuries. ce Tis The Ottawa government has revived the former wolf bounty, but at a reduced rate. When the bounty was dropped in 1933 the sum of $20 for éach wolf pelt was paid, but the new ruling provides for a payment of $5 only.
