Very few} could | held the love and es-} teem of many people as did Farr for more than half ( in the community, and few could have exercised h an influence for good. Het lo lif Haileybury was not without it riefs and its sororws but it was a life "well spent on earth' and one that has left a] lasting impression on the lives of| ll. There is no occasion for but rather | ef over her passing, is there every reason for thank fulness that her life and influence were granted to the community | over sO many years A QUIET ELECTION | Che federal election campaign} at present being waged appears to be a fairly quiet one, at least} so far as our section of the coun-} try is concerned. There does not appear to be any very great issue that will tend to sway the voting public, although the prospects are that there will be at least five candidates in Temiskaming. One hears the odd speech on the ra- dio, and of course there are var-| ious reports of meetings at dif-| ferent points where the policies} of the various parties have been discussed, but on the whole there is very little excitement. This may change before the eelction day, but so far in our own com- niunity there is little apparent interest in politics and it looks as though we would all turn out and vote, as we have done in the past, largely guided by our party lean- ings. Perhaps it is just as well that we are not being greatly in- terested in politics. We all ap- pear to have our part.to play in the war effort and can devote our available time to that. We wil not greatly miss the usual stir- rings of an election campaign if it passes us by. y WONDERFUL CHANGES The changes which this old world has undergone in the past sixty years ate strikingly illus- trated by articles in this issue of the paper. In the account of the death of Haileybury's first citi- zen ,Mrs. C. C. Farr, it is related that when she came as bride to her new home on the Kipawa River 60 years ago,, the trip was made by canoes manned by In- dians, virtually the only method of travel to this section of the country at that time. In another news story it is related that Mrs. Farr's granddaughter, Mrs. R. E. G. Hayward, was notified of Jagr grandmother's death at 4 p.m. on Sunday. Mrs. Hayward's home is Trail, B.C., and by means of air travel for a good part of the way. she arrived in Haileybury at 11 a.m. on Tuesday. Who could have foreseen this 60 years ago? And if anyone has ventured to suggest the possibility at that time, he would have simply been laughed at as a dreamer. Many other wonderful changes and improvements have taken place during this period. In al- most every way our lives and mode of living have altered, not always for the better, according to some, but at least making for greater enjoyment and less of the strenuous eqorts that marked the lives of our ancestors in pioneer- ing a new country. Perhaps the next half century will see even greater changes, but no one should worry about what is to come in the distant future. We have enough on our hands just now, with a war to win, the gar- dening season in the offing and the spring fishing to look for- ward to. ling and equipment committee of Haileybury citizens come Hotel Haileybury.

A petition was presented to the Altown council asking that the Haileybury market, then being held on Saturday only, be opened n Friday afternoons. Ten Years Ago On March 6th, 1930, The Hail- eyburian reported that plans had been completed for a new build- that would double the capacity of the local mining school. Several Haileybury citizens paid fines for operating radio without the required license and The Haileyburian pointed out that the ouly place where these could be secured locally was from the R.C.M.P. detachment. sets F.
