THE HAILEYBURIAN Vol. 34; No. 31 HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO "THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14th, 1948 Subscription Rate: $2.00 per year District Health Unit Plan Is Discussed by Town Council Question Comes Up at Regular Meeting When I.0.D.E. Asks to be Relieved of Portion of Nurse's Salary; Streets and Police Questions on Agenda Tuesday Evening Some further discussion the proposed District Health Unit was held at the regular meeting of the local town council on Tues- day evening, when the question came up after a delegation from the 1.0.D.E. had asked the coun- cl to be relieved of the burden of providing a percentage of the salary of the public health nurse. The Chapter has raised a portion of the nurse's salary ever since that service was first provided in the community, and of recent years, the ladies stated, it taxed their coniparatively small membership to a point when they could do little else. Mrs. D. G. Hogan, Cumming and Mrs. (Dr.) W. ( Arnold formed the delegation. They said if they could be reliev- ed of the task of raising $600 they could do a lot of other work in the community. They were will- ing, however, to complete this year's allotment. Several citi zens had expressed the opinion. the ladies said, that the whole amount should be provided in the town's budget and paid out of taxes. It was held this would be a more even distribution of the cost. Mayor I. A. Lytle and other members of the council were of Mrs. R. D. the opinion that no immediate steps towards organizing the health unit were in prospect, but further information on. the plan was being secured. The ladies were assured that the whole question of health service was be- ing given consideration. The meeting was attended by one other citizen, John Gilkes, who asked for a lease on sufficient town-owned ground for a road to the property he occupies on Meri- dian avenue, around a ravine. A resolution gave him permission to use the ground, with a recom- mendation to future councils that the arrangement should be con- tinued. Councillor Chas. Camsell was appointed to represent the town on the proposed recreation com- mission, now in the course of formation. This movement was started by the Home and Schoo! Association and some progress has been made. A letter from the "United Emergency Fund for Britain" asked that a chairman be appoint- over has t _ tion; ed to conduct a campaign during the period November 16th to De- cember 6th, and the council a- agreed to make an effort towards gctting someone to act., Street matters took up consid- erable time at the meeting. A pioposal to remove portions of the sidewalk extensions at the corner of Main street and Fer- guson avenue, to allow a widen- ing of the roadway, was favored and the department of highways will be consulted. No action was aken on a suggestion to forbid on through trips from using Rorke avenue and Latchford street. It was agreed the traffic was damaging the in- heavy trucks ~ tersections. The Hydro- Electric Power Commission will be asked to re- move entirely the old foundation of the former sub-station on the Lake Shore road, or cover up the unsightly spot; a request for the removal of some half-dead spruce trees from town property on Rorke avenue will receive atten- no action was taken on a request from the public health nurse for some arrangement for the use of a car in her work; fur- ther information will be request- ea on a police training course to be' given at Sudbury for chief constables.

It is perfectly legal to use these small calibre rifles on game A copy of the order- in-council setting the dates for open season makes no mention of any such action on the part of the Depart- ment.. From personal exper- ience, we would say that the small rifle is a far less effec- tive weapon than, say, a 12- guage shotgoun; which some hunters are using. birds. Manv Friends Pay Tribute to Memory of Mrs. Hamilton --Resident of Haileybury Qver Forty Years; Fune- ral is Held on Tuesday One of the older residents of Haileybury, Mrs. Geo. T.

She was a staunch member of the United Church and active in the various women's organizations during her long residence here and had a wide circle of friends in the com- munity. There are no members of Mrs. Hamilton's immediate family sur- viving. Her relatives consist of a number of nephews and nieces. Among them are J. Robert Wil- son of Akron, Ohio, who has vis- ited here frequently; Mrs. G. O. 3rown, Fostoria, Ohio; Mrs. E. Shields, Miss Rhoda McIntosh, Russell and R. L. McIntosh, all of North Bay; Dr. H. E. McIntosh, Robert McIntosh, Mrs. Douglas McCullough and Mrs. Robert Gordon of South Porcupine. The funeral was held on Tues- day afternoon, with the gervices in the United Church at 2.30 and at the graveside in Mount Plea- sant cemetery conducted by Rey. L. E.

Many old friends and acquaint- ances joined with the surviving relatives in paying their respects to one who had been for so many years active in the community and well known for her good works.

They were there for both Saturday and Sun- day games and report an enjoy- able outing. Although the big stadium was filled to the brim, they managed to secure tickets. and they are still talking about their experiences on. the trip.

Woman Acquitted on Murder Charge; Asks Protection Assizes Nearing End With Final Criminal Charge Being Heard Yesterday Mrs. Lucille Lamarche, 21- year-old Kirkland Lake mother, acquitted on Thursday last of the murder of her infant son, the fol- lowing day asked for police pro- tection, charging that her hus- band had been threatening her, by telephone calls at the home of Mrs. J. B.. Anderson, where she is staying, unless she hurried home. In the second criminal case at the Assizes here, Jeanne Brunet of Elk Lake, was convicted of concealing the birth of her child. She had been charged with mur- der and the Grand Jury brought in a true bill on the lesser count. At the Tuesday session His Lordship disposed of the case, giving her suspended sentence of two years. She was directed to make her home with an aunt and an uncle, who reside in the Lee- ville area and where she will re- ceive more adequate training than she has had previously. Miss Brunet is 18 years old It was during the hearing ot this case that Mr. Justice Wilson made sharp criticism of the way Crown Counsels throughout the province prepared these cases for presentation to the courts. He said there was a lack of prepara- tion in too many cases, and also had some adverse comments on the manner in which juries are selected. The court adjourned over the holiday, resuming on Tuesday with one charge of manslaughter and one of reckless driving stilt to be heard. In the manslaughter charge, the accused, Albert Pilon. pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a a two-year term. Hearing of the reckless driving charge, against Joe Silverthorne of En- elehart, got under way on Tues- day afternoon. Both charges were the outcome of fatal acci- dents.
