THE HAILEYBURIAN Vol. XXXII; No. 34 HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19th, 1936 Subscription Rate: $2.00 per year CHRISTMAS SPECIALS ON T. & N.O. RAILWAY DECEMBER 22, 23 AND 24 School Grants Are Discussed by Trade Board Ask More Equitable System For Secondary Schools in Northern Ontario The T. & N. O. Railway, in conjunction with the Canadian National, has organized this year a special Christmas service over its main lines, to run on Decem- ber 22, 23 and 24. The special will leave Cochrane at 1.25 p.m, reaching Swastika at 4.22, where sleeping car accommodation will be provided for Kirkland Lake business. Times given by the railway for other points are: En- glehart, 5.25; New Liskeard, 6.20; Haileybury 6.34: Cobalt 6.51; Latchford 7.09; Temagami 8.05; North Bay 10.59, arriving at To- ronto at 6.40 a.m. There will be no connections with braach lines on the northbound trip. For northbound traffic No. 47 will leave Toronto in two sec- tions, at 11.15 p.m., one train op- erating via the Bala subdivision and the other via , Newmarket subdivision of the C.N.R., arriving at North Bay at 6.30 and 7 a,m., and leaving there at 6.50and 7.30 respectively. The arrangement for the spe- cial trains was prompted by a genuine desire on the pait of the T. & N.O. management to han- dle satisfactorily the heavy Christmas traffic anticipated and the schedules are included in the current timetables. Preparation of a _ resolution dealing with the maintenance cost of non-resident pupils in the high. schools of Northern Ontario was the chief item of business discussed at an executive meet- ing cf the Haileybury Board of Trade, held on Tuesday evening as a preliminary to the meeting of the Northern Ontario Associa- ted Boards at New Liskeard on Wednesday, and the whole situa- tion was reviewed by W.H. Tuke, principal of the local high school and vice-president of the Board. Under present conditions, Mr. Tuke said, the secondary schools in the North, where no county organization exists, receive from the Department of Education in grants only 80 per cent of the costs of such pupils, while in Southern Ontario the _ entire amount is borne by the County. Further, during the past few years a reduction of 10 per cent in the grants had reduced the amounts received by Northern schocls to 72 per cent of the maintenance. cost. This condition has caused ser- ious difficulties in the carrying on of the secondary schools, and has} been responsible for high muni-| cipal levies. In the majority of towns in the North, if not in all of them, it isacase of population without industries, it was explain- ed by Mr. Tuke, with the result that the maintenance cost has to be provided largely out of taxes on homes. If the full cost of non- resident pupils was provided by the Department, it would be a considerable help, and the reso- lution was prepared with the ob- ject of bringing more clearly to the attention of the Department the entire situation.. There was also some discussion over the present situation in re- gard to the Mining School, but as this was a purely local prob- lem, it was not included in the . resolution presented at the Asso- ciated Boards meeting. The executive of the Board considered four resoluticns from the New Liskeard Board, and concluded that at least three of these would be endorsed at the Association meeting. j The Sudbury Council of the Knights of Columbus has made a donation of $25 for relief in the drought-stricken area of Saskat- chewan. The Timmins branch of the Canadian Legion now has a full- fledged orchestra, organized a- mong the members, which made its initial appearance at a social evening last Saturday. ee Se Se Week's Weather | ea } The Week ending Nov. 17, 1936: Min. 12.0 30.0 Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday - Sunday Monday Tuesday _ Precipitation for week_ .

Each local form a committee to go further into the question and report to the central office. The resolution submitted by the Haileybury Board dealing with the question of grants to secondary schools in Northern Ontario was unanimously en- dorsed by the meeting, after the whole matter was explained in detail by W. H. Tuke, Several of the delegates spoke strongly in support and gave instances of what was held to be injustice and discrimination against schools in the North. Frank Herron, president of the New Liskeard Board, referred to North Bay and The Nugget in regard to complaints that people there have tried to dissuade tour- ists from coming North and the statement that the idea of a boy- cott was "silly." He said that he hoped there would be nothing but co-operation in the future. He also invited all delegates pre- sent to a banquet at 6 o'clock. Gec. W. Lee, former chairman of the T. & N.O. and a delegate from North Bay, told the meet- ing that there was no tendency on the part of people in vhat city to prevent tourists coming North. A. G. Kirkpatrick suggested that care should be exercised in referring to lack of knowledge of the North on the part of South- ern Ontario people, who, he said, were rapidly learning the im- portance of the North. The meeting also went on re- cord'as favoring the appointment member to the Ontario Athletic Commission. W. O. Langdon of Timmins and Thos. McDonald, Mathesen, were re-elected president an-1 vice- president respectively, of the Association, and the following were named as delegates to the meeting of the Ontario Associat- er being treated at the Cobalt living quietly as a law-abiding| with the Lake Superior route for Municipal Hospital and the latter citizen on his small farm and his|the Trans-Canada highway and at-home.
