FORMER NORTHERNER SURVIVES SINKING OF SHIP BY TORPEDO Word that Oakley Bush, well-known in the North Country, and a son of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Bush, former residents of New Liskeard, spent a week and a half in an open boat after the vessel on which he was a passenger returning from Africa was lost at sea through enemy action, has been received by friends living in New Liskeard. In a letter to P. J. Grant from Mr Bush, it was stated that the ship had been torpedoed and sunk while on the voyage. Survivors were left adrift for ten days before being picked up, and Jeter Mr. Bush's son was landed at Barbados, in the Britsh West Indies At last reports, he was recuperating there. Oakley Bush, with his brother Hed- ley had been in Africa for some years following mining operations, and they have returned to this continent after fufilling their contracts. Hedley was cn another ship and made the voyage without incident, and he now is work- ing in a war plant in Canada. The let- ter to Mr. Grant did not give any fur- ther information he said.

PRODUCER Not all the glamour belongs to the stars. Here is lovely Kay Stevenson, CBC producer at the Toronto stu- dios, who gives the signals through the plate glass window to such im- portant people as the folks of New bridge, Three Little Sisters, Quen- tin Maclean, the brilliant organist, and all the actors and authorities who come your way on the CBC Farm broadcasts originating in On- tario. Kay got her radio start as an associate producer of several well-known commercials before joining the staff of the CBC. She could have all the silver fox she wanted to wear (her father is a silver fox farmer) but instead you will see her trimly turned out in a well tailored suit--sans furs and furbelows. Her first chief was Ed- mund_C, Rise"and they would still be working together only Ed went to Tollywood to co-produce Crosbys Music Hall. Kay was forty minutes late for her own wedding (radio business was to blame) but she's never missed a broadcast. As we go to press this morning, word has come of the death of an old resi- dent of Haileybury, Mr. Samuel Boone. He passed away this morning at his home in the southern part of the town. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made. Ses Heroes Granted Awards : Ee official publication of the British Government, The London Gazette, contains citations ofawards approved by His Majesty the King, for gallantry at sea made to Captain P. A. Kelly, at the time Chief Officer of the S.S. "Lady Hawkins," Cana- dian Naticnal Steamships, and three crew-men, Robert Clayton, Hants- port, N.S., third wireless officer; Charles Bolivar, able seaman, Upper La Wave, N.S. and William Burton, carpenter, Hamilton, Ont., (shown left to right, above). They were commended for their courage and re- sourcefulness during the voyage of the lifeboat so skilfully navigated 2 Captain Kelly after the sinking of the Lady Hawkins by an enemy su)ntarine last year. Tu naming Captain Kelly, of Hali- fax, N.S., to be a 'member of the civil division of the Most Excellent order of the British Empire,' The London Gazette records that "the ship sailing alone was attacked by a U boat in the Atlantic. The Chief Officer after getting his own boat away stayed on board trying to get other boats away. Just before the ship sank he swam to his own boat and took charge. It was overcrowded with seventy-six survivors. After four days they were picked up. Part of the time the boat met with heavy weather and to steer an overladen boat with an oar replacing the lost rudder called for good seamanship. "The Chief Officer showed sterling qualities of leadership throughout and his cheerfulness sustained the spirits , of all in the boat." | 1 Notes of the North PIPER FILLS IN A good crowd was on hand at the ciub room on Wednesday night after the Community Club supper. Unfortun- ately only one sheet of ice was fit for play but Piper Yorkston provided some very good music which tickled the toes of every Scotchman in the building -- Curling notes in The Cochrane Post. ge ODD FIRE CAUSE The odd case in the fires this week was a call on Tuesday morning. A lady had quarrelled with her husband and in the proceedings stovepipes were knocked down. The resulting smoke and danger of fire prompted the hus- band to enlist the services of the fire brigade. The Fire Dept. was able to fix everything so that there was no danger of fire, but did not attempt to do anything to guard against another battle in the house--Porcupine Ad- vance. START NICKEL MINING The Alexo Mine at Porquis Junction. | control of which has been taken over! by Clifton Consolidated, is rapidly nearing production and is expected to be shipping valuable nickel ore within three or four weeks. The grade of ore to be sent from the Porquis Junction property to the na- tion's industrial war effort will be the highest ever mined in Canada, some experts say. Already there is nickel ore estimated to have a value of ap- proximately $700,000 being made ready for shipment--Timmins Daily Press. aes SEEDS FOR RUSSIA be sent to Russia in time for spring planting in that Allied country. is being made to Ontario farmers through the Canadian Seed Growers' Association. and farmers in Temiskaming have becn Canadian Shoe Repair The Home of Rebuilt Shoes »and Used Clothing 68 YORK ST., OTTAWA 1,000 pairs Skates, Repaired. 2,000 Overcoats, Men's La- dies', Boys' and Girls'; Suits. \f Dresses, Skirts and Leather | Coats | 'f WRITE FOR CATALOGUE SS Se | Local Business and | [| Professional Cards { as| =a CeSSST (fas @e4hs sltuer Ke BARRISTER SOLICI7 Ok NOTARY PUBLIC Bank of Nova Scotia Butlding HAILEYBURY, ONT PHONE 360 Dr. W.

Under the amended charter of the town ratified at the last session of the provincial legislature three of the al- dermen are to be elected each year, in- stead of holding an election in all six wards every other year as heretofore. 'Consequently three of the present aldermen, elected for two years, were placed in the position of having to re- tire with half of their term still unex- pired in order to allow for an election next month.--Rouyn-Noranda Press.

Ee KNOWS BEAVER HABITS That otter are not partial to a diet of poplar branches, and also that bea- vers are quite unlikely to be cavorting in the vicinity of otter slides at this season of the year, were two facts River 140 miles west of Ottawa, to be morning when Fred Frederick commented on by Magistrate J. S. Me- Kessock in Sudbury police coum this s, of Cas- caden township, near Windy lake, en- tered a plea of guilty, through his counsel, Leo A. Landreville. on a charge of involving the illegal possession of beaver pelts. It was indicated by de- fence counsel that the accused had been trapping otter, and that two beavers haa committed the indiscretion of get- ting caught in the otter traps. The magistrate expressed immediate doubt on this point, however, pointing out that the suggestion advanced was rather incredible--Sudbury Star. Haileyburian Want Ads.
