THE HAILEYBURIAN © Vol. 42; No. 10 HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO THURSDAY, MAY 23rd, 1946 Subscription Rate: $2.00 per yea: Children's Aid Society Work Not Lessened by End of War Surplus Funds Should Have Been Spent if Suitable "Had Been Available, Annual Workers Meeting is Told; President Re-elected; Deputy Minister is Special Speaker Although the Children's Aid Society of Temiskaming closed its year on March 31, with a sur- plus of $1,672.61, this could have all been spent to good advantage in protective and _ preventive work if suitable workers could have been secured, the president K. C. Gray of Kirkland Lake, told the annual meeting of the Society held in Cobalt on Tuesday even- ing. The close of the had brought no lessening of the need for constant care of children in the district, although there had been a change in the nature of the cases requiring attention, he said, with the problems incident to the return of the service meu. The financial campaign held some time ago had not reached its objective, the president said, but it was hoped more money would be available later. Mrs. F. B. Fox, superintendent for the society, told the meeting there is an urgent need for more social workers at present. There had been 162 new or re-opened cases dealt with during the year with separation of parents, mari- tal discord and physical neglect of children about evenly divided among the causes. During the past three months, she said, two mothers at Kirkland Lake had been sent to jail for neglect of their children, and the situation throughout the district continued serious. The thanks of the society were extended to Mrs. Fox and her associates for the good work be- ing done, on a motion of J. M. Beemans of New Liskeard, who also introduced the chief speaker, Mr. B. W. Heise, deputy minister of public welfare for the province. Mr. Heise explained the system adopted by legislation under three acts, the Children's Protection Act, the Unmarried Parents' Act and the Adoption Act, and stated that while these provided the legal procedure, there remained a great deal of work from the so- cial side in order that every child should have a fair chance in life. A society was not doing its work war properly if it merely carried on the provisions of the acts, he said and neglected to go further by interesting the public in its work and enlisting public support. "Any public program," he said, with its foundation in legislation, does not lend itself readily to experi- mentation and exploration." Mr. Heise said it was a miscon- ception to believe the great ma- jority of children cared for by the 54 societies in the province were those born out of wedlock. Sta- tistics proved this belief to be false, he said. He said the whole problem of child welfare is one that should appeal to all citizens and would if the public could be made to realize its importance. There is no more important pub- lic service than care of children who are not being properly cared for by their parents. Every child should have a "family home" he said, and if at all possible its own home. The society should try to improve home life first but if that failed, other homes should be found. In the election of officers for the year, Mr. Gray was re-elected president, with W. H. Fawcett of Cobalt as first vice-president, alsc re-elected; W. R. Ramsay of New Liskeard was named second vice- president, and Mrs. H. Barr and A. Long, both of Kirkland Lake as honorary secretary and trea- surer respectively. The directors are: Dalton Dean and Fred Parry of Kirkland Lake; H. F. Brown- bill, Virginiatown; Ted Graham Matachewan; Mrs. C. Donegan Cobalt; J. L. Runnalls and Mrs' Arnold, Haileybury; J. M. Bee- imans and Clair Kitchen, New Liskeard, and J. K. Godden, En- glehart. At the close of the meeting refreshments were served by the Cobalt branch of the society. Viscount Alexander, Governor General of Canada, will broadcast over the CBC network on Sunday evening,, May 26, at 7 o'clock, to open the Educational campaign on behalf of employment for the physically disabled, it is announ- ced by the District Supervisor of Casualty Rehabilitation. Softball Players Organized With Three- Team Group Public School Grounds as Playing Field; Volun- teer Workers Needed Prospects for at least three teams in a town softball league are looming up, and in the near future there will be practice tilts on the public school grounds. Aw organization meeting of the clubs last week elected Ernie St. Louis as president, with Keith Valentine as vice-president and Walter Maltby as secretary. On the ex- ecutive are A. Olson, Gordon Lee W. E. Bagshaw, Jack McVittie In the league will be a team from the West Road, one repre- senting the town, and one spon- sored by either the fire brigade or the local branch of the Canadian Legion, with the possibility that each of the last named will havea team, making four in all. The diamond at the school ground requires some improyve- ment and an attempt will be made to do the work by volunteer labor With this in view all interested parties who are fairly strong in the arms and sturdy in the backs are invited to come to the public school grounds this evening at 7 o'clock and get a start on the job. Each volunteer is to supply his own tools. Shovels or spades will be best suited for the preliminar- ies; later rakes or other levelling devices will be in -order. It is hoped that a goodly number will pitch in and help get the game under way before too much of the summer has passed.

L. Runnalls, inspector of public schools. There were also. members of the staffs of some of the high schools and high school boards. the association having plans for including the secondary schools i its general membership in the near future. Presiding over the meeting was~Mr. Jarvis Parker chairman of the Matachewan public school board and president of the association, who told the gathering that it was hoped the extension of the organization would take place soon. . Wm. Hough, ¢hairman of the Englehart school board, welcom- ed the visitors, and a short mu- sical program was given by En- glehart talent, a clever rhythm band and a group of high school girls in a musical reading being cluded. Mr. H. C. Sweetnam principal of the New Liskeard public school, invited the associ- ation to hold its annual meeting this fall in histown and the invi- tation was accepted. The only other general business was the announcement by. the secretary Iric E. Smith of Cobalt, that the scholarships given last year tc pupils in the entrance classes in both urban and rural schools would be continued this year, and_ that nearly all the school boards in the district had become mem- hyos of the association. First of the two speakers, both of whom hold positions with the Department of Education for On- tario, was C. D. Gaitskell, M.A. director of art, who traced the history of art instruction in the schools from its early beginnings down through various stages un- til it has been developed into a system whereby the pupil is en- couraged to "express his own thoughts" rather than to copy the work of experienced painters. The aim is not toe make artists, the speaker said, but to bring to- gether the different talents of the child and thus improve his general education. The other department official was Major J. W. Grumon, B.A. director of audio-visual education who described the system of teaching by sound films and film strips now being widely used in the elementary schools. He il- lustrated his talk with a film showing life on a farm, special emphasis being laid on the rais- ing of wheat, and said that these films, supplied by the department under an arrangement for only a small charge, were not to be treated in any sense as entertain- ment, but for purely instructonal purposes. "A good sound film,' Major Grumon said, "gives as much instruction in 20 minutes as can be given in two hours talk- ing." This system had been greatly developed during the war years for instruction in the various ser- vices, Major Grumon said, and its use, could be extended' to adult education as well. It is also being used in industry, he said, and pians are being made for a two weeks' course in special instruc- tion this summer, by the depart- ment. There would be accommo- dation for 100 teachers in the course, and equipment was being nade available in greater quan- tities for the schools who plan- ned to adopt the new method. ATTENTION! The second annual AUCTION SALE sponsored by the Women's Association of the United Church will be held on Saturday, June 1, at 2 p.m., in the former Tulloch & Company store, Ferguson avenue. Furniture, Rugs, China, Books Costume Jewelry, etc., will be on sale, as well as a lawn mower and students' Chemical Set, new, and complete with table, English make. Geological Map of Teck Township is Now Available Fifth in Series Describes Kirkland Lake Break With Main Veins in Projection The detailed geological map of Teck township, the fifth in a ser- ies which includes maps of Mc- Garry, MeVittie, Gauthier and Lebel townships, on a scale of 1,000 feet to the inch, was releas- ed today for distribution by the Ontario Department of Mines. This map is the most impor- tant of the series as it includes all the producing mines of Kirkland Lake. Uniformity in rock corre- lation and color scheme has been maintained in all the maps. The Kirkland Lake break along with numerous other faults are easily identifiable and, wherever possible, the main veins of the camp are projected to the surface. The geological field work re- lating to the map was carried out under the direction of Wm. Ger- tie, A. MacLean and Jas. E. Thomson. Geological information was also obtained from the min- ing companies and incorporated in the map. The accompanying report will be pulished at a later date. ¥RIENDS PAY TRIBUTE TO MEMORY OF LATE MRS. W. S. BLACKWALL Many friends joined with rela- tives in paying tribute to the memory of the late Mrs. W. S. Blackwall, last member of Hail- eybury's first family, when her funeral was held on Thursay af- ternoon last. The service was conducted in St. Paul's church, of whieh she had been a life-long member, by Rev. John Watson with Major Wrightson assisting and the congregation filled the church to the doors, Interment was made in the family plot in the old Haileybury cemetery where Mrs. Blackwall's parents the late Mr: and Mrs. C. C. Farr are buried. Pallbearers, chosen from among the town's earlier residents, were Magistrate S. At- kinson, Walter Little, M.P. Messrs. H. A. Day, S. Norfolk Taylor Pipe and B. V. Harrison. Thre Food Dominion Government Information Committee says that 4f every family used three slices less of bread a day, Canada would have 750,000 bush- els of wheat to sénd overseas in three months. One war bride will arrive in the district from the Aquitania, soon to dock at Halifax. She is Mrs. Rosa Mercier, wife of Pte. R. I Mercier of Cobalt, and is accom- panied by her daughter, Annette, aged five months. There were not very many purely Canadian films available yet, but more would be produced as time goes on. Major Grumon phatic in his recommendation that radio broadcasts be mnrore widely used in the schools, and that the tendency should be to- ward greater use of the various devices which are being provided through the department. He dis- cussed with trustees the terms on which equipment of this nature can be secured, at comparatively small cost, and promised all pos- sible .assistance to any school board contemplating installation. The visitors were entertained at lunch by the Englehart people interested in educational affairs. was also em- Institute of Mining Holds Graduation Exercises May 31 Mine Manager and Head of C.I.M.M. to Be Speaker; Deputy Ministers Coming When the first graduation ex- ercises of the Provincial Institute of Mining in Haileybury are held on Friday evening, May 31, a special speaker will be Mr. R.
