A good report of the Remembrance Day dinner was given by the convenors Mrs. Jen Plaunt and Mrs. Joan Hargrave, and they wish to extend thanks to all comrades' help which made this a success.

Children's Aid Main Topic At Chamber Meet Think Increased Grants by Government to Society -Would Help in Operations There was a fairly large at- tendance at the Haileybury Cham- ber of Commerce meeting held in Hotel Haileybury Monday even- ing, with President J. E. McDon- ought in chair Discussion centred around the troubles of the Childrens' Aid So- city, and in this connection Mr. McDonough introduced' Mrs. Nora Fox, superintendent of the society, who gave a detailed ac- count of affairs, which was very instructive. Mrs. Fox said that Childrens Aid workers were es- pecially trained to cope with dif- ferent aspects of child welfare work, and gave some pertinent figures of costs of maintaining a child_in a fosterhome, etc. Mr. R. W. Thompson of New Iiskeard thought that the district Judge should have authority to place an order on the father of a child that he should contribute a portion of his wages toward its mainten- ance, and that it was rather dif- ficult for a municipality to keep track of the parent and to collect from him each month. Mr. Mc- Donough felt that the province of Ontario should be apnroaches with the matter of increased grants for children's aid, since the territory is so great that ad- ministrative costs were prohibi- tive. Bob Herbert, the newly elected Progressive Conservative mem- ber for Temiskaming promised te look into this matter. The amount collected 'in the Children's Aid campaign 'in the district was $1,464.00, with an ob- jective of $1,500. It was noted that Cobalt and Haileybury met their commitments, but Kirkland fgjakte and New Liskeard had not. Leo Gough spoke of the many compliments received regarding the tourist folder which was pub- lished last year by the three local district towns. So much time was taken up by discussion of Children's Aid af- fairs that there was no time left for further Chamber of Commerce business, which was left over un- tila later meeting. The session was adjourned and refreshments were served by the hotel management, which -were greatly appreciated and enjoyed. by those present: Canadian Legion Ladies' Auxiliary Bingo The Canadian Legion Ladies Auxiliary held their bingo last Tuesday, Dec. 4, with a fair atten- dance. The special prize of $30 was not won on the eight num- bers, so the door prize next Tues- day, Dec. 18th, will amount to $35. Mrs. C.F. Tuer was the lucky winner of the ten-dollar special prize. Mrs. Taylor is convenor for these bingos and invites everyone to participate. She also wished to express her appreciation to the members who helped and to Mr. Percy Hitchen and Mr. Adams for calling the numbers in the absence of the regular callers. See you at the next Bingo in the Legion hall on December 18th. SANTA IS COMING TO TOWN!

Lewis at Queen's Park says the action of the dupty returning officer who allowed the ballot box at North Cobalt to be taken from the poll- ing place at the recent provincial election, was "quite irregular' lie didnt propose to take any further action in the matter. "The procedure does not appear to have been prompted by any corrupt intent but simply by a de- sire to afford the old and ill people in question an opportunity to vote, which desire all persons present at the poll apparently agreed to," said Mr. Lewis. Mr. Lewis said that apparently a discussion had occurred in the polling booth as to what should be done and evidently both the CCF scrutineer and other repre- sentatives felt that the box should be taken to the homes of the in- valids. : Mr. Lewis' investigation fol- lowed a complaint by the CCF candidate that there had been ir- regularities in the taking of the vote on election day. Our Library Do the people of our town real- ize what we have in Haileybury Public Library? There are over five thousand volumes, each book in good con- dition and readable. As many as five hundred mern- bers, men, women and children enjoy reading these books The selection of fiction, non- fiction and children's literature is excellent. The list of the most popular books read in the larger centres compare favourably with Hailey- bury's Library. Not a complete selection, but the best can be read here. The Board should be commend- ed on the choice of interesting volumes, showing a careful and intelligent study of authors and book reviews; also on the effici- ency with which the building is kept up as regards heating, salar- HES TmeLes The town and Provincial grants (though hardly sufficient) are dis- pensed wisely and well--definite- ly a non-profit organization, Some generous benefactor or former nostalge old-timer, could help out considerably. Sanatorium Holds _ Christmas Party A very pleasant afternoon was spent at the San. on Sunday last, when a Christmas Concert was held for the patients. Mrs. MacDonald of New Lis- keard acted as chairman and a varied program was put on. There were recitations and readings by some of the San- pa- tients, a skit by the Youth Club, New Liskeard, music by the Trio Miss Dorothy Hartley, Mr. Jack White and O. E. Walli of Hailey- bury, song by Mss Ruth Gustaf- son, accompanied by her father. Several other artists from out of town gave other numbers. Dr. C. J. Doherty thanked those who assisted in making the after- noon the success it was. Internation » Nickel Option Local Farms Lands Northwest of Town Prove Quite Intriguing to Big Nickel Corporation The Toronto papers have been carrying stories about the Inter- national Nickel Company signing up options on farm lands in the immediate Haileybury district and it is said that fairly important money has changed hands so far. During the past few months Inco has used two airborne mag- netometers to carry out a fairly extensive survey over a wide sec- tion of ground in the four-mile stretch between Haileybury and New Liskeard. For years now it has been gen- eral knowledge that small quanti- ties of nickel have been associatec with the silver-cobalt ores in the Cobalt camp, situated some four to five miles southwest-of Hail- eybury, and it is learned that one producing property in the camp has found increasing amounts of nickel associated with cobalt at its own property. So far, this particular company has not been able to realize a commercial re- turn from the limited 1% to 2 per cent nickel content in the ore as the material has been lost in the cobalt concentrates. It s reported that one of these arms on which an option has been taken by Inco is that of Foster Rice, manager of the Pro- ducer's Co-Operative Store in New Liskeard, and resident about 4Y% miles northwest of Hailey- bury, and adjacent farms. We have been unable to obtain any further information about this transaction. The Inco solicitor said there was nothing for publi- cation. LAKE FROZEN OVER Lake Temiskaming froze over last night, December 12. Winter is here for sure. Once the lake freezes over we are fairly sure that it will stay that way until next April. Last year the ice formed on December 15 and the official date of the break-up was April 29th, which is only a little over four months away.
