He died at 10.30 without regaining con- sciousness. Mr. Burton had not been in the best of health for a week or two, but had been regu- larly at his job at the jail, where he has been on the staff for about eighteen years. Mr. Burton was in his 61st year and was born at Cobden, Ont. He was a son of the late James Bur-| ton and Ruth Hill, pioneer resi- dents of that section. He was married in 1909 there to the form- er Lillian Eady and they came to Haileybury the following year and have had their home here ever since. Mr. Burton was a timber contractor and , lumber- man, working for the A. J. Mur- phy Lumber Company until he went on the jail staff. Surviving Mr. Burton are his widow, three daughters and four sons. The daughters are Mrs. D W. Thorne (Eva) of Cobalt; Mrs. C. Caskell (Vina), Kirkland Lake and Miss Ada, a nurse-in-training at St. Michael's Hospital, Toron- to. The sons are Harold E. (Bill) of Cobalt; John, recently return- ed from overseas and now at home; Osborne, in the C.A.T,S. and stationed in Hamilton, anc Kenneth, at home. There are also seven grandchildren. Also sur- viving are three sisters, Mrs. D McDougall of New Liskeard Mrs. R. Caswell and Mrs Wallace Poff, Cobden; and three broth- ers. William, Cobden; James Wiseton, Sask., Robert, Orillia.

The ration is to be reduced by one-third. W. J.

The president, W.H. Tuke, stated that there would be no campaign for funds ,during the current year, but a membership campaign would be carried on and it was hoped by this means to raise suf- ficient money for the branch's work. The membership fee is one dollar per year. Mr. Tuke will continue as pre- sidént of the branch, and the meeting again elected His Honor judge Hayward as honorary pre- sident. Rey. A. P. Addison is first vice-president, D. G. Hogan is second vice-president and Mrs. H G. Pickard is third vice-president Mrs. W. Bradley and Mrs E. At- kinson were re-elected secretary and treasurer respectively. The financial report presented to the meeting showed that the branch had receipts during 194£ of $3,001.14, of which 85 per cent had been sent to the provincial headquarters. The cost of ad- ministration had been only $14.6& while the expense of the work- rooms was shown as $19.06, with the explanation ethat $12 of the latter amount had been returnec as a contribution. All receipts were from voluntary contribu- tions, which continued until the end of 1945, and Mr. Tuke told the meeting that there were a few people who were still send- ing in their monthly amounts. A summary of the period since the branch became active in 93¢ showed total receipts of $23,735.- 7 .The president reported what had been done for the Hacquard family after the fire which de- stroyed their home and took th¢ lives of their five children. An appeal had been made by the local branch, and considerable money and articles had been contributed and just recently Mr. Hacquard had a chance to buy another wood camp near where he haa formerly been located. Part %i the remaining funds will be usec to assist him in the purchase anc the family will be re-establishe« if. the near future. The meeting passed a resolu- tion recommending the badge of merit to two of its members, Mrs L. Nicholls and Mrs J. W.N. Bell and this resolution will be for- warded to the provincial head- quarters. The society is paying regular visits to seven ex-service men who are patients in the hos- pital here, and is continuing its general activities in the commu- nity. Thanks were extended tc the town council for the use of the rooms without charge, to the Northern Telephone and the Hy- dro for free services and to all in the community for their assist- ance.

R. Woods Hardware Co. at New Liskeard some time early last Saturday morning with no clue to the identity of the persons who broke into the building, Chief of Police J. J. Evers said. Entrance was gained through the back door of the warehouse after glass had been broken, and the snow which fell later covered any tracks that had been left, police said.

Will Oppose Bill For Annexation By New Liskeard Dymond Township to Send Reeve and Councillor to Present Its Objections The plans of the town of New Liskeard to annex No. 1 school section of Dymond township are to be opposed when the question comes before the Private Bills committee of the Ontario Legis- lature later this year, according to a decision reached by unan+ mous vote of the members of Dy- niond township council, who met in their February session in the public library building in New iskeard last Friday afternoon. The motion presented to coun- cil provides that Reeve Taylor Pipe and Councillor Howard Ma- guire.are authorized to appear before the committee when the town's bill is up for consideration with provision made for alternate appointments in the event they are unable to attend. No date for the hearing has yet been announ- ced, but the prospects are that the measure will be dealt with late next month. The Legislature is to meet on March 4, Decision to adopt the course ot cpposing the bill was taken as a sequel to the vote among prop- erty-holders of the union schoo section on January 29. At that time, the vote was 47 against the proposal and 13 in favor, of going into the urban muni-i-ity. T was explained this vote had beer taken for the guidance of council whose members are said to have adopted the view that considering the large proportion of votes cast against the idea, council was warranted in taking the course now under way. Car and Bus Involved in Minor Motor Accident One fence post was smashed, but the vehicles involved escaped with slight damage and no _ oc- cupant was hurt, when a south- bound car, in which was the Sal- vation Army officer from Cobalt, and a Mclsaac bus, proceeding to New Liskeard, were involved in a minor mishap at Moore's Cove last Friday evening. Provincial constable Arthur Souliere, who investigated, said the car skidded across the icy surface of the highway at the south end of Moore's Cove, pulling up against a post of the guard rail. A special bus proceeding to New Liskeard to replace another bus, also skid- ded and ran into the front of the car, doing little damage but com- pleting the break in the post. START IMMUNIZATION CLINICS MARCH FIRST FOR ALL CHILDREN Miss M. Wright, public health nurse, told The Haileyburian a few days ago that she and Dr. W. C. Arnold, M.O.H., have set Mar. Ist, at 3 p.m. for the opening date of a series of immunzation clinics for all children in the community, from six months to six years of age. The clinics will be held in the nurse's room in the public school, and immunization against diphtheria and whooping cough will be given as well as vaccina- tion. All parents of young child- ren are urged to take advantage of this service, which has proved of great help in maintaining com- munity health and which is given free. More than 20,000 war veterans will write on the next Civil Ser- vice examinations to be held this _convention of the Canadian Le- | gion since 1938. Takes Snowy Owl Caught in South to Native Haunts Bird's Return Side Issue to Trip North for Demon- stration of "Snow Jeep" Bound for the territory sur- rounding Hudson's Bay, with Moosonee as the first objective, an expedition of two explorers spent Sunday night in Haileybury aud on Monday morning contin- ued their journey by motor car to Cochrane, from which point they planned to use a "snow jeep", the invention of the head of the party George W. Bettes of Sparta, Michigan, Primary object of the trip was the demonstration of the machine, Which is the invention of Mr. Bettes, he told The Haileyburian, but an interesting sidelight was shed on the expedition by the presence of a large snowy owl, native of the Arctic regions, which he had captured last month at his home town in the southern part of Michigan. The bird is being taken back to its native haunts, Mr. Bettes said, and will be released when the expedition has reached a point far enough north to be suitable. The owl, a beautiful specimen of the breed, with a wingspread of 60 inches, was caught without injury and is becoming somewhat tame, although it shied off when approached by strangers. It ap- peared to be quite content while being held by Mr. Bettes, who be- lieves that before he releases the bird conditions in the north will have changed to the extent that it will find plenty of food, al- though it is generally understood that sparse living conditions in the north cause birds to leave their native habitat at times. With Mr. Bettes on the trip is Lieut. Jack Bursey of the U.S. naval coastguard service, who is no novice so faras extreme wea- ther conditions are concerned. He made two trips to the Antarctic with Admiral Byrd. The two plan to live in the woods, if necessary, Mr. Bettes said, and they have plenty of equipment for the pur- pose, tents, primus stoves and othér accessories. The machine in which they are making the trip north from Cochrane is the in- vention of Mr. Bettes himself. It weighs only 850 pounds, is of a caterpillar type, with a wide "flo- tation" surface and is powered by a light air-cooled engine. It is equipped with an electric starter and lights, and is capable, Mr. Bettes says, of towing 1,00C pounds on a toboggan and mak- ing 10 to 15 miles per hour in loose snow. Sufficient gasoline for five days can be carried on the machine. It has no cabin or shelter for the passengers, but is still in the experimental sage, Mr, Bettes said. Purpose of the trip is to thoroughly test the machine in sub-zero weather, with plans being made for its production in quantity. The Snow Motor Transport Project is the name the inventor said. Mr. Bettes is a funeral director in his home town, makes a study of birds and does a bit of invent- ing on the side. INQUEST ON SATURDAY The inquest into the death of the late Henry Lorance Robert- son of Henwood, victim of the fatal accident on Highway No. 65 on January 31, will be held in the Library building, New Liskeard on Saturday, beginning at one o'clock. Coroner Dr. J. F. Edis of Kirkland Lake, will preside.
