HE HAILEYBURIAN Vol733- Nous Ten People Are Involved in Highway Crash Sunday Night Haileybury Girl Most Seriously Injured When Cars Collide on Grade Near Mileage 104; Cobalt and Kirkland Lake Young Folks Escape With Minor Cuts and Bruises A motor crash in which there were ten people involved, and in which the most seriously injured was Miss Alvida Brennan, wait- ress at the Matabanick Hotel here, occurred on Sunday night on the highway a short distance north of Mileage 104. Miss Brennan and her Miss Noella, were returning to Haileybury in a car driven by August Ostermann, when other car driven by Emerson Stinson, Kirkland Lake, and car- Tying six passengers besides the driver, met and the crash occur- red. Miss Brennan received a fracture of the frontal bone of the skull and was taken to the Cobalt Municipal Hospital, where she is still a patient together with Mr. Ostermann, who suffer- ed a severe cut to his tongue and the loss of several teeth. Miss Brennan was given a fair chance of recovery by the attending physician, Dr. Wallingford. Some members of the party in the Stinson car suffered minor injuries and Miss Noella Brennan had her head cut, but:not seriov's- ly. Provincial Constable W. Byrne who was called to the scene of the accident, stated that it was difficult to fix the blame for the crash. When he arrived each car was on its proper side of the road with a considerable space _ be- tween them, but each showed the effects of a heavy collision on the left side as though they had met only partly head-on. Those in the Stinson car, be- sides the driver, were Gerald George and Chas. Hutt, Kirkland Lake, Basil McCarthy and the Misses Constance McKay, Verne Gibson and Ruth Taylor, all of Cobalt. The question of liquor among sister, an- the members of this party 'came up in an in¥estigation held by the provincial officers on Monday, and it is said that Chas. Hutt ac- knowledged that some beer had been purchased in Haileybury, and that they were returning to Cobalt to "hold a party." The officers found 16 pint bot- tles near the roadside at the -scene of the crash, some of which still contained beer, while others were broken. It was stated that a charge of illegal purchase of liquor'is being laid against Hutt but he was allowed to return to Kirkland Jake on Monday and will answer to the charge in po- lice court there today. Whether there will be other charges laid in connection with the crash would not be known for a time, Constable Byrne said on Tuesday afternoon, as Oster- mann was still confined to hospi- tal and unable to talk on account of the injury to his tongue.

While the town has none to sell at the pre- sent, it was considered a healthy sign and one that brought con- siderable satisfaction to the mu- nicipal heads. woe Tourists for the early fishing are reported as arriving in fairly large numbers at Temagami last week-end.

COBALT COUNCIL MAY DECIDE ON REPEAL OF BEVERAGE ROOM BY-LAW The Cobalt town council has a notice of motion on its books for the reepal of a recent by-law fix- ing the closing hours of beverage rooms at 11 p.m. The by-law was passed in accord with a new the Liquor Control Board, was approved by that body and went into effect on Fri- day last. The notice of motion came after Jos. Robitaille, bever- age room operator, protested at the action of the council and suggested that the old hour of midnight closing be reverted to. at least for the tourist season and not earlier than November Ist. | iHaileybury and New Before the motion is disposed of the council will ascertain whether any steps are being taken in Liskeard towards imposing an earlier clos- ing hour. C. T. Travers, inspector of civil aviation, with D. W. Saunders and D. T. Jackson as the crew of a Fairchild machine, stopped off at the local airport on Tuesday evening on a trip through the North Country. ; Teva Robberies By Juveniles in Stores Last Week Youthful Offenders Located By Chief of Police; Some Goods Recovered Two burglaries of local shops were discovered by the owners on Thursday last and _ several youthful offenders have since been located by Chief of Police W. MacGirr, who also reports the recovery of a portion of the goods taken. Mino's Shoe Shop and the store in the Myles Block recently oc- cupied by G. J. Cottom, both on Main Street, were the premises burglarized and in each case there was a quantity of goods stolen. Bunches of shoe laces and tins of polish were taken from the Mino shop, while a quantity of smallwares was the loot in the other case. At the Mino shop the robbers gained entrance by forcing the door, while in the Myles Block a back window was forced and ,got into the basement and from |thére to the main floor. Mr. Cot- ton had been for some days en- 'gaged in removing his stock to |his new location on Ferguson |Avenue, but there remained a | good many articles which proved |good pickings" for the burglars and some of which were easily jrecognized when the homes of the suspects were visited by the | chief | The boys range in age from 12 |to 15, Chief MacGirr says, and jthey will appear in Juvenile Court this week. Seven Families Are Homeless After Fire in Matachewan A fire in Matachewan on Fri- day night last left seven families homeless, according to word from thé mining district. A small dwelling and a bakery with sev- eral apartments above were de- stroyed with the loss of a consid- erable portion of the dwellers' effects, according to one of the victims who came out this week. It was believed that the fire got started from an opening ina chimney in a house which was di- vided to accommodate two fami- lies. One family had moved out, leaving the chimney opening un- protected, it was thought. Vol- ;unteer firemen managed to keep |the flames confined to the two | buildings. A small bush fire broke out in | Firstbrook township on Saturday |last, but apparently did not reach large proportions. None have been reported from other parts of the district, and the rain this jweek has removed the hazard for |the time. LONDON HEARS FROM ATLANTIC FLIER Cheering tarongs gathered at Croyd his co-pilot Jack Lambie, when the the United States. This radiophoto of greeting over on airport to greet Dick Merrill and two arrived after a flight across the Atltantic Ocean to pick up Coronation pictures and fly them back to was taken as Merrill spoke a word the microphone. Plans Si Property sales, street and side- walk improvements and a discus- the greater part of the business transacted at the monthly pleton and R. A. Murphy present. There appeared to be some- thing of a boom in real estate from the number of offers to purchase vacant lots, and the prices ranged from five dollars each to $25, with a few of the of- fers turned down. Among the purchasers were Gordon Wil- liams, Armand Carriere, N. Mor- issette and Jas. McFarlane Sr., whose offers were accepted, while on the other hand an offer from H. Clifford was held over for a better price on a vacant lot next to his Browning Street residence. There was a coincidence in the fact that the Horticultural Socie- ty asked the council to dispose of where the Memorial Park is be- ing extended, while at the same time an offer of $75 for the build- ing was received from Mr. Car- riere. who proposed to remove it to another site. The council call- ed it a deal. Sidewalk improvements in prospect include the resurfacing of a bad place at the corner of Main and Ferguson and an esti- mate will be made of the cost and the work done probably on the local improvement plan. The L. K. Liggett Company wrote the council in connection with this and it was decided that the walks on both sides of Ferguson Ave- nue should be repaired. In response to a letter from H. E. Cawley, there will be some grading done on Temiskaming Street and the sidewalk there will be repaired. It was also de- cided to paint white lines on the highway curves at the two main corners and to try to secure from the Highways Department a couple of the regular road signs for use at these curves. The local tennis club asked for the use of a couple of lots on Rorke "Avenue to build new courts, but the council felt that the value of the property was too high for the purpose "and _ will suggest that the club use the site of the old skating rink instead. The town's steam roller will again be rented to New Liskeard for that town's paving work, and H. Kearney of North Cobalt will be given the privilege of salvag- ing old iron from the town dump. He offered $5 a ton for some old iron pillars, remaining after the fire in 1922, but the council had no power to sell these it was said. Other business transacted in- cluded the appointment of R. L O'Gorman as auditor for this year, with an allowance of $35 for expenses over the $300 paid him for the last audit, and the ap- pointment of Geo. T. Hamilton as a member of the cemetery board, to succeed T. G. Tulloch who resigned. An appeal from the Ontario Red Cross, for organization of a sion over relief problems formed, meet-; ing of the Haileybury town coun-| cil on Tuesday evening, with only, Mayor S. J. Mason! and Council- | lors J. A. McKinnon, Geo. Pop-, a small house on Amwell Street, | Subscription Rate: $2.00 per year Council Sells Property dewalk Repairs | Stand By Former Decision to Stop Direct Relief Issues After May 15th! Main Corners to Be Marked Out and Signs Erected; Satisfactory Statement on Rink connection with the flood disaster in the Thames Valley. and to act in other emergencies, brought no action from the council. Stricter enforcement of the by- law providing for the cleaning of chimneys will be carried out, fol- lowing a report on the number of fires in recent weeks, and there will be no departure from a former decision to stop all direct relief issues as at May 15th. The latter came as a result of a long discussion over the question, which included several individual cases. The council received a cheque for $159.75 as the town's 50% of the profits made by the fire brigade in the operation of the skating ring, with a statement of receipts and expenditures, which was considered quite satisfactory Tax collections up to May 14th were reported as $40,585, a little above the previous year at the same date and well up to expect- ;ations of the finance committee. SEES GREATER CONTROL OF LIBERTIES THROUGH SOCIAL LEGISLATION A word of warning that seri- ous consideration of the part that the present generation is to play in meeting changing conditions in our own country and our own province, was given by Wm. G. Nixon, M.L.A., who was guest speaker at the weekly meeting of the Haileybury Rotary Club on Monday. Mr. Nixon drew atten- tion to what he termed "the great amount of social legisla- tion now on the Ontario statutes. the continual calls for assistance on the part of various classes of the people and the gradual chan- ges that were taking place." He linked those up with the growth and development of the country and foresaw that we must ex- pect more control by govern- jments than ever before in our history. | Mr. Nixon sketched the pro- gram laid out by the Department of Highways for improvements |to the road of this district during the present year and stated that he believed that a "few short years would see a hard-surfaced |road right through to North Bay. | The thanks of the Club were ten- jdered him by Rotarian Geo. T. Hamilton. --------.----__--.
