The Northern Ski Club received a $200 grant to cover the 1950-51 and 1951-52 season. The club provided fine sport for the children and brought favorable publicity and many tourists to the town. FIGURE SKATING. A grant of $200 covered part of the in- struction cost. Membership has tripled since its formation three years ago. Results of this out- standing work can be seen in the Carnival on Saturday, March 22, in New Liskeard Arena. DRAMA. The Haileybury Drama Club dissolved, returning their funds to the Recreation Committee. The committee can supply information to any group on sources of supply, plays, skits etc. TENNIS. The Haileybury Ten- nis Club received a grant of $200 for capital expenditure on courts This is the third year of the pro- ject and this year tennis was played. There was a two-day Tennis school, The committee and generous helpers did a lot of work on the courts. SOFTBALL. The men interest- ~ed- in Softball formed an Inter Town League and the Recreation Committee expended an amount of $78.01 on equipment, repairs to field and new backstop, SWIMMING. Was carried on successfully as usual by the Hail- eybury Rotary Club who channel- led their instruction costs through the Committee. PLAYGROUND ACTIVITIES Officers In the third year of this activity Miss Betty Ann Bagshaw, super- visor,and Miss Margery Beasley assistant, did a splendid job look- ing after games, parents' day, hikes and field days for a record number of children . Total cost $242.38. was METAL - WOODWORK COURSE. The Committee was successful in arranging to have this course placed in the category of Night School Classes. Shop facilities of the Mining School were made available. ART. Formerly the work of the Committee, Haileybury now has its own Art Club, which re- ports a very active year. BOY SCOUTS. The North Bay Commissioner is pleased with this organization and scouts are earn- ing their badges. Summer camps and Scout Apple Day were suc- cessful, the latter helping to buy equipment. So far no one has of- fered to take Cub leadership for the younger boys who wish to start as Cubs. A grant of $22.00 was made to pay provincial as- sessment. GIRL GUIDES and BROWN- IES are very much a live organ- ization in our community, thanks to those taking the leadership. The Committee granted $25.00 on request. SOCIAL, RECREATION. A course in Folk and Square Danc- ing was held in March, The course was an incentive to those who of- ten take charge of party pro- gram planning, etc. Cost of the course to the committee was $13,95. Receipts for year amounted to $1,858.08, and expenditures reach- ed $1,450.15, and the committee have the balance on hand. BOB HERBERT URGES LOWER FREIGHT RATES Making his maiden speech in the Ontario Legislature last Mon- day, Bob Herbert, Temiskaming's Progressive Conservative mem- ber of Parliament said prices in Northern Ontario towns were higher than elsewhere because of freight charges by the provincial- ly-owned Ontario Northland Rail- way. A reduction in freight rates would lower prices and encourage the establishment of new indus- tries. High freight rates here have long been a bone of contention and the new member can bé as- sured of the full support of his constituents in this regard. MINER'S LICENSES DUE Holders of miner's licenses are reminded that their licenses must be renewed on or before March 3st, if they wish to hold their mining claims in good standing. Licenses can only be reuewed after that date on payment of a double fee, "I think laughing, like music, is an international language and I wish we all spoke it more".-- Joyce Grenfell.

The estimated losses for the year were: buildings, ¢? 210.00 and contents, $2,000.00, making a total loss of $4,210.00, all of which was coverea by insurance. min dacrecse of $3,870.00 *< nated 'over the previous yca. All the members of the Depart- ment have been schooled in First Aid by the St. John's Ambulance Corps and have been Ue cer- tificates. During the month of April, a special meeting of the tnree town Fire Departments was held in the fire hall, Haileybury and a mutual aid fire fighting was adopted in case of large fires. Since then, an association known as the Tri- Town Firemens' Association has been organized and monthly meetings are held. ihe Fire Chief oundf during his tspection that a number of pro- perties owned by the Ton will require considerable work done on them to safeguard adjoining properties from the danger of fire and fire drills were held in all the schools. A film "Are You Safe During Fire Prevention Week, public buildings were inspected at Home" was shown to approxi- mately 400 pupils, followed by a fhting equipment on *k¢e G-parate demonstration of various fire fighting equipment on the Separ- ate school grounds. The Fire Chief, after due con- sideration of methods to maintain the efficiency of the Department and for the better protection of life and property, recommended that: 1. The packing of shavings and sawdust between walls, floors, ceilings, etc., used as insulation be prohibited in the town of Haile- eybury. 2. All chimneys and pipes be cleaned once a year. 3. That the old Fire' truck (1920 model) be replaced by a more suitable one. 4. A fire hydrant be placed at the north end of Latchford street water main. 5. The necessary measures be taken to safeguard against the outbreak of fire in exe S.ttowing properties: The Fgiglie Estate locations south of the Mining Schooll and northwest of F lorence street, just over the ONR tracks. 6.

The former superintendent of the Hills Lake hatchery pleaded guilty to three charges--the theft of 200 bags of cement valued ~at $235, theft of an undetermined quantity of gasoline valued in ex- cess of $25 and false entry of Government entries with inten to defraud. Magistrate S. At- kinsn sentenced him to six months on each charge, the sen- tences to run concurrently. Investigation revealed that the cement was diverted from the hatchery to a private garage in Englehart and used in renovating Smith's house. Defence lawyer F. Perry ap- pealed for leniency and said that the defendant has cement on or- der and when it did not arrive, he took cement from the hatchery with the intention of replacing it. He asked the court to consider Smith's good character and lack of any criminal record and added that Smith was prepared to make full restitution. Parents See School "Work In view of all the current dis- cussion on education, it was in- deed gratifying to the Home and School Association to see a record number of parents turn out to the Association's "Open Night" at the public school on Tuesday. Every room in the school was open for an inspection of the children's work and every subject in the curriculum was on display fhe teachers were al present and parents discuss individual] ae ae per- taining to Junior's progress.

'Lhe public school statts will receive an in- crease of $300.00 and the high schools an increase of $400.00. The Haileybury Board of Edu- cation held its regular monthly meetiAng on Friday, March 14th. Atter routine business had been disposed of, the budget was pre- sented by the finance committee, was considered and unanimously adopted by the board. The tax rate for high and public schools respectively will remain the same as in 195}. Since the fire which destroyed the Haileybury High School and in view of the utter lack of facili- ties for recreation at the public school, this board has devoted a great deal of time and effort in arriving at a sound solution to the problem, Their vision of a new gymnasium will soon be a reality. Preliminary plans for a new building have been received and will-be returned to the architect after further consideration by the boatd. To cost in the neighbor- hood of $100,000, the financing will be covered by $65,000 insur- ance from the fire and $35,000 uebenture from the town.

Hellens Reviews Cobalt Comeback at Vining iVieeting Poilowing is the final instalment ot tne address given by A. D, Hel- lens to the Prospectors and VDevel- opers Association last week : Ures of the Area Sulver and cobalt are of course the two most prominent metals produced. However, during the past year two developments have taken place which may have an important bearing in the future. At the Penn Cobalt Silver Mines Limited, exploration and development of substantial ton- nages containing zinc-lead- and copper in economic quantities has aroused considerable interest. Pitchblende in association with silver and cobalt was discovered late in the fall of 1951 by Mr. Murray Watts in Cane township, 20 miles north-west of Cobalt. Preliminary geiger counter work has revealed that radio-activity is present in two of the adjoining townships. Exploration work is expected to get under way early in the spring. Cobalt For many years the metal cobalt which occurs combined with ar- senic in this area, was regarded as a nuisance and of little or no value. It has now become one of the most scarce, even precious of metals. 'The uses of cobalt are mani- fold. Due to the property of not warping under intense tempera- tures, every jet engine made on this continent contains over 10v pounds of cobalt. For the same reason all our latest type guns have barrels made of cobalt basea alloys. The cores of shells used to pierce armor plate is a tungs- ten-carbon alloy using cobalt as a binder. Armor plate not based on cobalt is poor protection in- deed, as many of the veterans of world war II cAan testify. _ This covers a few of the mili- tary uses; now let us turn to some of the uses in our peacetime economy. By far the largest use is inthe manuacture of permanent magnets, These magnets are an alloy of aluminum, nickle, copper. iron and 24% cobalt. They are very powerful in proportion to their size. A magnet weighing only 5 lbs. will lift an outboard motor from the bottom of a lake. Unrestricted use of cobalt in the field of electronics, television and radio would require almost the present world's supply of cobalt. (Cobalt is used in the manufac- ture of nylon stockings. The best dental bridgework contains 65% cobalt. In tHe medical field, it is now being used for surgical bone screws and plates. In the form of a radio-active bomb it is used in the treatment of cancer. Cobalt salts are also used to supplement feed for livestock. We are now on the threshold of the atomic age. Cobalt, with its propertyyof resistance to warp- ing under extreme temperatures, and its capacity to absorb and hold high radio-active and magnetic charges will be just as important in our civilian economy as it is now in this twilight war in which we are engaged. The estimated production of cobalt from straight cobalt ores in 1952, from the Co- balt camp, amounts to 500,000 Ibs. In addition, a further 250,000 Ibs. will bé produced from silver ores now being handled by the Deloro Smelting and Refining Company at Deloro, Ont. A considerable amount of cobalt is being wasted in the flotation concentrates which are being processed by the Noranda smelter. Approximatelxy 10V tons Of Concentrates contain- aig trom 1UU LO 3UU Oulces OF sil- ver and <y27o Of Cobalt are veing snipped monthly, ihe iNoranda smeiter have no process tor re- covering this cobalt and Deloro smelter does not handle these re- latively low grade concentrates. With fulhillment ot the aggressive programs now under way in the area, the production ot cobalt could-well rise to over one million ibs. per year, Companies now producing crude cobalt and concentrates are: silanco Mining and Refining Company Limited. Silver Miller Mines Limited. Mensilvo Mines Limited. in addition all companies pro ducing silver also produce from 3% to 9% cobalt per ton in their high-grade concentrates. Silver Silver is still the chief metal produced in the camp. The price has been steady for several years. with the world production drop- ping and the industrial use of silver expanding a relatively sta- bilized market appears to be as- sured. Estimateds silver produc- tion for Cobalt in 1952 is over five million ounces. The silver produc" ing companies are as follows: 1. Silver Miller Mines Limited. 2. Cobalt Lode Silver Mines Limited. 3. Siscoe Metals Limited. 4. Harrison- Hibbert Mines Limited. 5. Castle- Trethewey Mines Limited. 6. Silanco Mining and Refining Company Limited. In addition, a reclamation plant for the re-treatment o tailinfgs is now in operation. Future Exploration Posibilities In addition to extensions of known deposits, there are eight prineipaltoealities-in-the Cobalt - silver area which merit 'explora- tion and development : . The Lake Temiskaming area Area West of Cobalt proper . The Casey Cobalt area The Lorrain Valley Gowganda . Peterson Lake area. . South Lorrain . The New Lake Basin. Lake Temiskaming All silver and cobalt deposits in the area are controlled by a complex system of faults. The break being that which ONAnHRWNe major strikes north-west through the bed of Lake Temiskaming, While little work has been done to. ac- curately determine: its displace- ment, sufficient evidence has been uncovered to indicate consider- Zable movement, with the up- thrown side being the area .west o fthe fault. Work at the Agaunico Mines of the Silanco Mining and Refin- ing Company indicates a consider- able thickness of the cobalt series in the bed of Lake Temiskaming The Nipissing diabase sill, which has overlain the sediments has been eroded, leavingg geological conditions similar to that of the Cobalt Lake and Kerr Lake area Several efforts have been made to locate silver and cobalt beneath the lake, mainly by Dr. Cyril Knight. During the last four months, an exploration program was started by the Silanco Mining and Refining Company in an at- tempt to add to the reserves of cobalt ore at the Agaunico Mine. A fault pattern was drawn up by the use of aerial photographs and ground observation, and a dia- (Continued on Page 2) 592 2223.2.3.432553243200630030208.004 Haileybury Ski *Presents Club : Two Colored Films on FRIDAY, MARCH 21st IN THE LEGION HALL, at 7.30 p.m. .
