HAMPERED WAR EFFORT Canada's wat effort has been badly hampered by labor troubles with strikes in diferent plants manufacturing war supplies af- fecting not only their own plants but others aependent on them. Cne steel firm strike it is claim- ed, has been responsible for the closing of a motor manufactur- ing plant, and thus the trouble appears to be spread:e3. Appar- ently nothing cau be done about it, as instead of the general situ- ation getting bettei, it seems to grow worse. To the lay mind it appears as though the remedy lay in the hands of the. government and that a more firm stand on the part of the ministers of the Crown should overcome the tro- uble. Smaller concerns have to comply with the regulations, no matter how difficult it may prove, and when the larger firms are involved, there should also be regulations to meet every con- dition. The action of the Ontario Pre- mier in his handling of a strike in a Toronto suburb, when the pro- ducers of the goods supplied to a canning plant went to work in the factory, seems to have been eminently successful. All that was required of the gorvernment was the provision of the neces- sary protection for the volunteer workers, and now the strike has been settled amicably. this plan would probably not work so well in a munitions plant, but still there should be some way in which the wheels could be kept turning. In any event, it is evi- dent that the policy of appease- ment, so far pursued by the au- thorities, is not going to be suc- cessful and sterner measures will be necessary.

KK Ax The weather has been especial- ly discouraging to the amateur gardeners who are trying to pro- vide their families with vege- tables, etc., that would save con- siderable expense and leave a bit of extra revenug to devote to war purposes. Those who grow their own potatoes, for instance, are about ready to give up hope of getting their crops saved. Continued wet weather at this time of year is apt to cause rot in the tubers and some have already dug their patches, even taking the potaoes out of wet, soggy ground and drying them as best they can for winter storage. The clay land in local gardens is diffi- cult in a wet season. "Kee ** The farmers, also, are having their own crop troubles. It is estimated by an official of the Department of Agriculture that only about one half of the hay crop and three quarters of the grain has been harvested in Sou- thern Temiskaming, due chiefly Of course/to unfavorable weather. ; Haileybury History Items from the Files of The Haileyburian of 15, 10 and 5 Years Ago PR A) Wa a a a Oe a Fifteen Years Ago With some outlying pools still to be heard from, election returns no doubt that the}in Temiskaming 15 years ago this week gave Malcolm Lang, Liber- over Armstrong, Conserva- travels the highways at all cannot]tive. fail to notice the difference, both in the number of cars on the roads and in the speed at which}y they travel.

However, they ap- pear to be very few in number and the consumption of gasoline must be greatly reduced since the campaign started. This should be encouraging to the authorities, who are apparently trying their best to avoid too much compul sion in the matter. There is the other side of the question, that of the service sta- tion operator who has invested his capital in property that is now returning only a percentage of what it previously did. His reve- nue is reduced considerably, but there have been few complaints heard in our community. The service station men are accepting the situation with a good grace, are enjoying considerably more spare time and perhaps still re- ceiving as great returns on their investment as some of the less lucrative forms of business. They are taking the bad with the good, just the same as the rest of us, and are carrying their share of the war burden. All have the satisfaction of bejng able to do something for the general wel- fare. Noted in Passing : 3333333 As usually happens at this time of year, there have been various reports of partridge coming into the urban centres, and the birds have been seen in different sec- tions of Haileybury during the past few days. The most inter- esting event of this nature, how- ever, occured on Saturday, when one flew into the Ferguson Ave- nue store of A. W. Sanderson and roosted around on the fixtures for some hours before it was finally shooed outside. Although it flew around the store several times back to the for partridge is still more than three weeks distant, there are shooting them.

Jos. Carriere shot a half grown bear in his garden on Rorke Ave- nue, where the animal was found nosing around among the vyege- tables. A rich gold discovery was re- ported on the property of the Rouillard Gold Mines, at Clear- water Lake in Patricia district. A high windstorm blew trees across the highway near Martin River, wher a traveller sustain- ed a broken arm while trying to remove one of them from the road. During his struggle with the tree a second fell in almost the same place and he was hit on the arm. =e Five Years Ago All applicants for relief in town are to have their circumstances investigated by the chief of po- lice, according to a ruling by the council. A seventeen-year-old youth was sentenced to ten days with hard labor for the theft of two sheaves of wheat from the field of a North Cobalt farmer. He was on suspended sentence for another alleged theft at the time.

Which of these brings the most money to Canada? 3. What particular industry owes most of its growth to the pulp and paper industry? 4. What other industries derive large benefits from the pulp and paper industry? 1. Yes: pulp for explosives; wrappings and containers for munitions and food; board for army buildings. 2. Pulp and paper products; newsprint paper alone is Canada's largest single source of U.S. dollars. 3. The electric power industry. 4. Nearly every other industry in Canada because of the large purchases of the Pulp and Paper Industry for its diversified requirements--partic- ularly our railways and steamship lines because of the amount of freight shipped; our mines and heavy machine industries; our farms.
