The course led through the Sudbury and Algoma districts and gave a good opportunity to compare the progress that is being made in our own section of the province with that of the older areas wehere there is at least one com- munity that boasts of having passed the century mark since its inception. The comparison is an interesting one and shows plainly that, during several years past the districts of Cochrane and Temiskaming have _ received great deal more attention in the way of improvements than have the other areas mentioned. In the matter of roads alone here isa vasa difference, while Highway No. 11 has now been either paved or treated over the whole length from North Bay to the mining to Sault Ste Marie, has still many stretches of gravel, and rough gravel at that, Some work is being done, however, and several sections have been paved, but there is a lot to do before it will compare with No. 11. One of the highlights of the trip was a meeting with Dr. Tre- fry, who has become famous as the head of the only community medical service plan in the coun- try. His community is St. Jo- seph's Island, in \Lake Huron where there are 1,600 people all included in the plan which has been in operation for the past cight years. 'The rate is $2.50 per person per year, and the doctor claims that the scheme has proved 85 per cent perfect. There are various charges for special services and a fine hospital has been established on the island and operated by the Cross. The hospital was founded (Continued on Page 6) schools which come under offic'al care, and he said that the cutie. in this respect for the new term which opens after La- bor Day prospect that all vacancies have been filled by the time the had been a_ heavy teachers in his inspectorate since the close of the previous term in Canadian Red|- New Departure in Music Teaching For Rural Schools Teacher to Make Regular Calls at Each of About Twenty District Points Marking a new departure in the education of pupils in a score of the rural schools located in the territory which comes under the jurisdiction of J. L, Runnalls, pub- lic school inspector for this part of Temiskaming, a plan is being worked out for the teaching of music at stated periods over the coming term, with a qualified teacher going out from New Lis- keard to give the instruction. Inspector Runnalls, in mention- ing the scheme to The Haileybu- rian this week, said all details had not yet been completed, but the general arrangement will call for the teacher visiting each of ap- proximately twenty country schools each week from Septem- ber until the close of the term next summer, The idea has been under consideration for some years, and has been discussed on various occasions \ by interested bodies, but it is taking practical shape now for the first time. The inspector said that the teacher would devote her entire teaching hours to music. Under the plan now being considered she will visit four or five schools districts, No. 17, from North Bay|qaily, covering her rounds from Monday to Friday. Each period if instruction, it was stated, will average an hour, and each school on the list will receive weekly visits from the instructress. Her daily itinerary will vary accord- ing to the distances to be cover- ed, it was intimated to the press. Mr. Runrialls was asked regard- ing the general situation as it ex- ists among the teachers in the his was fair, with every will schools resume after the summer vacation He said also that there turnover in June, The staffs in the schools at New Liskeard, Haileybury and Cobalt Valentine Brothers in each of which some vacancies occurred, now are complete for the new term. Arrangements for and Burke Brothers In Chance Meeting When Flying Officer Keith Val- entine arrived home recently {rom overseas he told of an in- teresting meeting he and_ his brother, Flying Officer John Val- entine had with the Burke broth- ers, William and Norman, in Perth, Scotland. It was purely by chance that they met, none of the four having any idea of the whereabouts of their former fel- low townsmen until they met Just what kind of a celebration the four had was not revealed by Keith, but he did state that the meeting place was one of the ho- tels in Perth, so it may be taken for granted that they hada 'coke at least. A day or two later the Valentines ran into Capt. J. H "Tim" Murray, also from Hailey- bury and with the Canadian Forestry Corps. Sailor Brother of Shooting Victim Writes His Thanks Tragedy at North Cobalt Recalled by Letter From Overseas to Newspaper An echo of the tragedy which took the life of a young North Cobalt man on July 11th last comes to The Haileyburian this week in the form of a letter from his brother, who is a member of Canada's Merchant Navy and who learned of his brother's at the end of the month. The boy who lost his life was Lloyd Brown and it will be remembered that he died from a wound inflicted by' a rifle bullet when a neighbor fired at him in mistke for a bear Lloyd was picking strawberries in the undergrowth near his home at the time and he died an hour or two after he had been shot. The brother in the Merchant service is Theo. D. Brown, 'and when he wrote to The Haileybu- rian he was in Liverpool, Eng- land. He just received news of his brother's death, which occur- red while he was at sea, and he wrote to ask if the newspaper would say a few words for him in the next issue. He wanted to extend his personal thanks, he wrote, to the many friends and relatives"who stood by my family giving help and comfort during those days of sadness." The Haileyburian is very glad to pass on Seaman Brown's mes- sage and to again express to him and the other members of the fa- mily sincere sympathy in their sorrow. The tragedy brought a great shock to the family and the entire community felt it deeply.

It may be taken for grnated that there will be nc more recruiting for the Pacific area, although no official an- nouncement to that effect has been made, and the men who have served for several years may ex- pect their discharges to come through more rapidly. Among the first arrivals since our last report was Gelas Guig- nard, who had more than five years' service overseas and saw action in Europe with the Royal Canadian Engineers. He received one shrapnel wound, he said on his return, and it was not serious. Gelas was married to an English girl who will join him later, and he expects his discharge in the near future. After a few days in town, he went to visit his father Stanley Guignard, who is now in New Brunswick. : Lieut. Ted Liscumb, who left in 1940 with Major W. A. H. Fer- guson's Forestry Company as a sergeant and earned his commis- sion overseas, is another recent arrival. His brother, George came home last year after an in- jury, while his father, Wesley Liscumb, a veteran of the last war, is still overseas. The family home is on Main street. Then there is Pte. E. Deraiehe. who arrived on the Cameronian and is at the home of his mother, Mrs. J. Deraiche. He served in the RCASC and is enjoying the usual leave before reporting to lis feadquarters in Toronto. Also seen in town this week was Lorne Umphrey, who form- erly operated the Cross Lake Lease, in the Cobalt area and who served some years in the Royal Canadian Air Force. His future is not settled, but his dis- discharge should be coming through in due time, he said. _ Another service man on leave is Lieut. James McCurdy, who is serving with the Royal Canadian Navy and is on a visit to his pa- rents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McCur- dy. He likes the naval service, he says, but at the same time is glad to know that the war is all over and the majority of the volun- teers can look forward to an early return to civil life. Other recent arrivals include Fred Beaudry, back home after several years overseas with the RCE, and Ivan Ross, who has served in the Navy and, accom- panied by his wife, is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Ross To these men who have served their country well the communi-
