CONTESTS SEAT The case of a woman of 92, who applied to the Mothers' Allow- ance Commission for assistance on the ground that she had two daughters, one 70 and the other} 72 years of age, was cited by Rev. R. Haines, rector of St. Paul's {Church and secretary of the Mothers' Allowance Board for Temiskaming, speaking at the meeting of the Haileybury Ro- tary Club on Monday. There were |many problems which confronted the local boards, Mr. Haines said, and in all cases there was a thor-} ough investigation made before; the allowance was granted. He had helped to organize the board for Parry Sound District, had been an official in Algoma and last fall had been appointed se¢@ retary for Temiskaming, he told |the Rotarians. Mr. Haines stated that during the past year some 145 families in Temiskaming had been given} Jassistance through the Commis-| jsion, with an expenditure for the! whole district of around $55,000.!

All these it very difficult to carry on the work satisfactorily. Mr. Haines said, but since the inception of the Mothers' Allowance Commis- sion there had never been any political interference, any favor- itism shown and never had been a scandal, and in all districts these were especially guarded against. The system was an im- portant part of our social service work and as such was proving of greatest benefit in many cases. A vote of thanks was tendered the speaker by Rotarian Wm. Long, who said that it was 'of great assistance to the clubs to be made acquainted with the various public affairs that were being carried out for the benefit of needy ones throughout the country.

Both town and township police had been making a clean-up re- cently, and the provincial officers stationéd in Timmins could find no organization in the nature of a "vigilance committee." service PRECAUTION NECESSARY Mayor S. J. Mason asks The Haileyburian this morning to em- phasize the necessity of precau- tion in all cases of "flu. in order that the epidemic may be halted. Children are forbidden to go to the skating rink, by his order, and everyone should avoid, crowds as much as possible. During the ill- ness of Dr. Arnold, M.O.H., Dr. Joyal is acting in his place, the mayor states, and all possible steps are being taken to lessen the danger, but the co-operation of the public is necessary. Almost everyone knows what should be done in cases of 'flu, and all should do their best to prevent its spread. W. H. Alderson, former chair- man of the Northern Ontario Re- llief Commission, died at his home in Gravenhurst, Ont., on Sunday last, from a heart attack. Schools Closed _ to Stop Spread | of Flu Epidemic | | Board of Health Takes Action in | Effort to Lessen Effects of Dreaded Disease In an effort to lessen the efects jof the dreaded influenze, the fie Board of Health has order- jed the three Haileybury schools |closed for the time being. The disease has been quite prevalent |during the past week or twa, lwith the result that on Monday |there were only about 40 per lcent of the pupils in the high, |separate and public schools pre- sent, thus interfering seriously jwith the schoo} routine. ' Principals of the institutions, |reporting to the Board of Health, |recommended that they be closed for a time at least, and the auth- orities agreed that the step would be the best one possible in the effort to check the spread of the influenza. In this respect, Hail- eybury is meeting the same con- ditions as the majority of other centres in the North. On*Monday the high school and separate school were closed when orders were received from Dr. W. C. Arnold, M.O.H., who is him- self a 'flu victim. The public school continued to hold classes, sadly depleted ones, until noon of Tuesday, when a check-up _re- }vealed that conditions there were \little better than in the other two jinstitutions. Principal W. H. Tuke, of the |high school, estimated the absen- tees at about 60 per cent of the classes. . Chas.~Fassel, separate school principal, said that in his school the percentage would run slightly higher and R. J. McClan- ahan, princap! of the public school said that on Monday there were slightly more than 40 per cent of the pupils present. The epidemic appears to be widespread throughout the town, but is claimed to be of a fairly mild-type. It is hoped by the closing of the school and the dis- couraging of any large gathering for a time to overcome the diffi- culty. : The teaching staffs of the var- lious schools have not been seri- jously affected so far. Only one teacher on the high school staff caught the disease and she did net suffer seriousty. At the other two no teachers were reported to have contracted the 'flu up to the time of the closing. District Ore Shipments Two cars of ore were shipped from Cobalt mines during the week ending February 12th, ac- cording to the report of the T. & N.O. Railway. The Temiskaming Testing Laboratory shipped one car, with 66.312 pounds. and the O'Brien Mines the other, with 85,000 pounds. The Weel's Weather | Week ending February' 16th Max. Min.
