JUNE. 14th,. 1945 Acting Principal and Teacher Leaving -- Public School Staff ResiutiaGon of Miss M. Edgerton and Mrs. A. H. Cooke Tendered to Board eh NssiM,. Edgerton; weting prin-| cipal of the -Haileybury public school, and Mrs. A. H. Cooke, a member of the staff, have tender- ed their resignations to the schoo] board and their duties will cease with the closing of school for the summer holidays on June 29. Miss Edgerton has been on the staff for the past 12 years and she took over the post of acting : . McClanahan mee eS ee ariny nearly five years ago. Mrs. Cooke has taught for the past couple of years, re- former occupation when her husband, Arthur H Cooke, went oversea' with the forces. He is expected back some time this summer. Thus the board is faced with two vacancies for the fall term, and they are advertising for new teachers. The three teachers remaining on the staff are Mr. L. Wiseman who has been assistant to Miss Edgerton; Miss Harrison and Mrs. Iris Knight. It is not yet known whether Mr. McClanahan will return to resume his position as principal this year, as he is still in the service and at present doing instruction dut at Hamilton. He's under leave of absence for he * duration of his service with the forces, and if he is still engaged in his military duties when the fall term opens in September, Mr. Wiseman will be appointed acting principal.. This was decieded by the board at the regular June meeting held on Friday evening last, when the two resignations were accepted. ig Miss Edgerton's long and faith- ful service in the school was the subject of comment at the board meeting, when regret was €X pressed by all members at her im- pending departure. Mrs. Cooke's good service was also commented on especially as she took on the duties at a time when there was difficulty in securing qualified teachers, and has since conductec -dasses in musicyalong with her} other teaching duties, in a very satisfactory way. The board's appreciation of the good services rendered was expressed in letters to both Miss Edgerton and Mrs. Cooke. q Miss Edgerton will go to Lind- say, Ont., after summer holidays where she has_ been appointed assistant principal of the public school. suming her Buildings, Docks at Temagami are Nearing Completion. Erected.and Other Improve- ments Well Under Way Work on the new docks at Temagami has been practically completed, the two freight sheds and the office building have been erected and the foundations are in for two other large buildings, a boat repair shop and a boat and car storage structure, according to Jos. Isherwood, Haileybury contractor, who has had charge of the work for Temagami Navi- gation Limited, subsidiary of the T. & N.O. Railway, which is re- novating the famous summer resort. Mr. Isherwood was home over the week-end and in a talk with The Haileyburian outlined some of the improvements that are being made there. The buildings are being erected by Hill-Clark-Francis Limited of New Liskeard and are modern structures planned to accommo- date the expected increase in the tourist traffic. That this increase is assured is evident from the number of people arriving at Temagami and visiting the var- ious camps on the lakes, Mr. Isherwood said. One of the two new boats purchased by the com- pany is already in operation and carries 37 passengers. It is about 55 feet in length, is nicely fitted up and will go on a regular sche- dule this week. The second pas- senger craft, which was expected at Temagami this week, is 85 feet long and will also be in com- mission shortly. Local people visiting the sum-~ mer resort over the past week- end report that the area is rapid- tourists visiting the various camps and that there is every prospect of heavy traffic during the summer months. The fishing was not very good, however, and this was believed due to the high water and the fact that there is plenty of natural food for the game fish that are there in large numbers. Cadets Praised by District Officer After Inspection ' Smartness, Appearance and Drill Best of Any Year as Two Platoons Hold Parade The Hiileyburg High School cadets were praised by Major C. E. Read, district cadet officer, for their smartness, appearance and drill when they were inspected on the school grounds on Thursday morning last. The two platoons one of the boys and the other of girls, were under command of Ronald Campbell as cadet cap- tain, with Jack Dunlop in charge of the boys' platoon and Wilma McAulay of the girls, and Major Read said that they presented the best appearance of any years since he has had the duty of car- rying out the annual inspections and he urged both boys and girls to*continue with their training. Following the usual ceremonies there was a demonstration of physician culture and the boys gave an exhibition of field craft and Bren gun operation. This was followed by a demonstration} of first aid by the girls' platoon | and the whole was witnessed by| an interested crowd of citizens. | The Cobalt cadets were inspec-| ties, that there are numbers ofjted by Major Read during the af- ternoon and in the evening he visited New Liskeard for the in- spection there. In both of these towns the high school bands were massed for the' events, lending an extra touch to the ceremonies. Notes of the North EXCITING DISCOVERY Last week Mr. Steve Chapleau of Brower recovered from the river an exciting object--a bottle closed with a home-madé wooden cork, containing a note with the words: 'Help wanted, Abitibi Island. The paper looked old although the writing was quite legible. There is no island of the name used and as there are hundreds of islands in Lake Abitibi, a search of the area seemed useless, but all the forest rangers and wood: officials of the Abitibi Company were contacted. No one in the area has any knowledge of per- sons who might be stranded.-- Cochrane Post. ATHLETIC DIECTOR The appointment of Mr. Fred French as athletic director for Community Centre was announ- ced today by Mr. J. Perry, chair- man of the Community Centre committee.
