k Leishman, Mrs, "al w en 53, JE HAI il No. 6 AILEYBURY, ONTARIO THURSDAY, APRIL 17th, 1952 Subscription Rate: $2.00 per vear Val. 48; - Town Council Meets Monday; No Applications for Clerk's Job Monday's meeting of Council Was aftended by all members, and the town clerk opened the meet- ing with the reading of a letter from the Chief Municipal Engi- neer of the Department of High- wasy in which he stated that the Hon. Geo. H. Dourett, Minister of Highways* has approved a maxi- mum total of $20,000.00 for high- way improvements in this muni- cipality in the year 1952. Phe Ontario Provincial Police forwarded a new nontract for 1953, pointing out that contract prices for policing of municipali- ties by Ontario Provincial Police personnel have bee bac-* on the actual cost in the province, and owing to the fact that remun- eration to members of the Force has increased, it is found neces- sary to establish the following amended 'policing costs effective the 1st of January, 1953: Sergt., $4,200; corp. $3,800, and constable $3,300. The present contract will terminate as from December 1952. In the event that Council wishes to appoint 1ts Own smuni- cipal force, arrangements will be made to withdraw the O.P.P personne! There was no thought of dis- pensing with the services of the O.P.P. as the arrangement has been completely satisfactory an Councillor Poppleton objected to the apparent ease with which the Council was about to acept the increases, particularly in view oi their reticence to meet increased demands from all of the town em- ployees with the exception of the Clerk and his assistant, wno did not ask for increases. Councillor Poppleton stated that by next year the whole picture of costs might be altered and it was de- cided to let the matter rest until the next meeting, so tht it-can be given some thought. Mr. Briden read an order trom Judge S. Atkinson which provides for an increase from $1.27 to $1.47 per day for the maintenance of permanent.or temporary wards of the Children's Aid Society. for the District of Temiskaming. The new appointments on the Recreation Committee for the en- suing year were approved with exception of one appointment and a resolution was passed onnosing the appointment of Councillor Camsell as chairman of the com- mittee, as he is already Council's representative to the committee and the two should not overlap. Mayor Cooke felt that for such a worthwhile organization there should be some person available other than a councillor to assume this responsibility. The highlights of the Auditor's report for 1951 were read by the clerk and accepted. Town-owned houses came up for a general discussion and Councillor Gough wondered if it was perhaps trme the Town got out of the housing business. Six houses belong to the town by way of the Housing Commission loan and although the value of the houses has gone up and taxes have decreased since 1938, the rents have not increased in ten years. The Finance Comniittee will, study each individual case and decide whether action should be taken and the houses sold. An offer from Mrs. B. Short to purchase the West pt. of Lot 1 Plan M-48 for $300.00 cash was accepted subject to the approval of the Department of Municipal Affairs, The buyer will build on the property. Her own home has been bought for a dormitory for the Conventand taxes will be pay- able until the end of the year, at which time it will be tax free, as are all educational facilities. This offer opened a discussion on the lack of a Building By-law for the Townas it was pointed out that actually all the Building In- spector does is issue a permit. As for the building, he has no yard- stick to go by. A study will be made of building by-laws in other towns and until such time as one is in operation for the town, the Inspector will be advised that buildings must be equal to those in the vicinity. A general discussion on road conditions and spring flooding followed and Councillor Popple ton told Council that considerable work must be done at the front of the hospital. The O.P.P. sent a representa- tive to the meeting and he advised Council that every night he has had to put seven or eight warn- ing tickets on cars parked on the south side of Broadway, opposite the Hotel--they not only block the exit from the Theatre but are a source of accidents with cars parked at the Hotel. He would like to see "No Parking" signs in the area fronting the Theatre and down south side of Broad- way. Improbed ligghting so that signs could be clearly seen by out-of-town visitors, and greatly improved lighting for the parking area east of The Haileyburian of- fice were recommended. Everything that can be done to encourage the tourist trade should be done, said Councillor Gough. Existing parking lots should be cleaned up and lit up and parking lots should be provided from beside Huard's to the back of the post office. At the same time he suggested that the by-law for one hour parking on the main street should be strictly enforced-day and night. Mayor Cooke pointed out to Council that prisoners were re- leased from the district jail with out any means of transportation to their homes or destination-- they are simply turned out on the streets, begging meals and hitchhiking, and he felt that something should be done abou it. Other institutions make ar- rangements to deal with this, but here, prisoners are brought from all over and simply turned out on the streets. The number of transients in town is increasing with the spring weather and it is too much to ex- pect the O.P.P. to look after them for the night. Every town faces this situation but usually they have a Salvation Army hos- tel or their own jail cells--here, however, nothing is available The police force have been faced with two to five persons ina night seeking overnight lodging which they are unable to pay for. Coun- cillor Gough had acepted the re- sponsibility of seeing that this matter is given prompt atten- tion, In the near future the Town Council and the Chamber of Commerce will meet with Robert Herbert, Conservative member for Temiskaming. The Temiskaming Health Unit will meet with Council in the Council Chambers in May. The southern branch, consisting of Health Nurses from Cobalt, Hail eybury and New Liskeard and th Sanitary Inspector recently es- tablished offices in New Liskeard. but offices are available here at no cost, which they might well consider.

Poppleton's Vote Gives Marchildon Taxi License Thirty days had elapsed since council passed a motion "that J. Marchildon be permitted to oper- ate his taxi stand (5 cars until full conncil shall have an oppor- tunity to reconsider the case, in response toa petition duly receiv- ed by conncil, March 10th, provid- ing this case be reconsidered be fore 30 days from this date have elapsed and that J. Marchildon be permitted to drive a taxi dur- ing this period." The silence was not golden as the matter was pre- sented again at their regular meeting on Monday night. -- Councillor Gough opened the discussion by stating "that he felt exactly the same as at previous meetings and that he favored the opinion of the Policé Committee and the O.P.P. who were 100% against the issuing of a license." Mayor Cooke said "that the Po- lice Committee was not 100% be- hind it". The Police Committee is composed of Councillors Cam- sell, Gough and McAulay, who have been consistently against and the Mayor, who is automatic- ally represented on every com- mittee and has been in favor of a license permit. Councillor Cam- sell stated "that he had always backed up the Police Force and that he intended to stick with it.' Mayor Cooke asked that "if there is no further discussion, is there a motion?" As Councillor A. C. Dempster presented a motion "that J. Marchildon be granted a taxi license", Councillor Gough registered a strenuous objection to the other members of Coynei! going over the heads ot the Police Committee and further pointeo out that the matter had been de finitely closed several meetings before and should not have been brought up again. Only if con- crete evidence was presented was Council to re-consider the case and Councillor Camsell asked if he might see the concrete evi- dence. The Mayor gave him th- petition and saidthat it was ac- cepted by a majority vote at the last meeting (Councillors Gough and Camsell were not present for this meeting and were unaware that the matter could be brought up again). Councillor Poppleton insisted that the petition from some of the citizens of Hailey- bury was good, reliable evidence but Councillor Camsell was not impressed, He said that "if every governing body were to listen to every petition that was present- ed, where would they be?" Mr. Gough reiterated that "they had all agreed at a special meeting to settle it once and for all and here three meetings later. they were still talking about it." "How do you know it won't he re-cnened at the next meeting". A change of mind by Councillor Poppleton, who has been consist- ently lined up on the negative side, gave a recorded*vote of four in favor and three against. Those in favor were Cooke, Dempster Allard and Poppleton; those against were McAulay, Camsell and Gough. _ The little girl didn't think her Mother should say the atomic | bomb was wicked. -"Wt>+ about the bomb in Giliad. - They had them in the Bible." rae Funeral for Late Judge G.

It is living proof that a dream can become a reality. This reality is Variety Village, a residential and voca- tional training school for physi- cally handicapped children of the rovince of Ontario.. Over nineteen years ago, the urgent need of such a school was recommended "to a of the Ontario Government but it was not until 1948 that Variety Club. of Toronto did something about it. The Club is part of an International organization with "Tents", as the clubs are called in United States, England, Mexico, and Canada. The Toronto Tent is Canada's only representative of Variety. It is administered by a council composed of represent- atives of Variety Village, Ontario Society of Crippled Children and the Department of Education. The idea originated in 1928 in Pittsburgh when a small group of showmen adopted an abandon- ed youngster and subscribed the money necessary to place her ina home. They called themselves the Variety Club because their members were drawn from a Va- riety of branches of the enter- tainment world. Soon, other clubs sprang up in other cities un- til last year, Variety Club Inter- national spent $2,000,000 for work among underprivileged children Each Variety Club is pledged to carry on or aid at least one chari- table organization -- Toronto turned to crippled children, build- ing a school that is the first of its kind in Canada orethe United States. ' Membership is made up exclu- sively of men in the entertain ment and professional sport field In less than two years they rais- ed near $250,000 toward the build- ing of Variety Village through baseball, hockey, theatre nights and other events. Actually, the projett has a value of $400,000 due to the many gefierous contri- butions. Among the graduates from all over the province is seventeen- year-old Glen McNaught of Haileybury. Eight years ago the dreaded disease, poliomylitis left him crippled in one leg and he was unable to walk. Today, because of the skill of surgeons at the Sich Children's Hospital and the To- ronto General who grafted an ankle bone so that it would move properly, performed a bone fu- sion on one hip and later operated on the tissues of the hip, he is able to walk, and because of Var- tety Village, he is equipped to take his place in society, a happy healthy individual. ae Shortly before Christmas, 1951 the principal, Wm. R. Bennett, on a tfip through Northern On- tario, interviewed Glen and made arrangements to enter him at the school which presently accom- modates 24 boys from 15 to 18 years of age. When increased dormitory accommodation can be arranged, more boys will be se- lected and later expansion wili take care of handicapped girls From the wide range of courses offered, technical commercial and matriculation--Glen chose cabi- net making and is now waiting-to receive his diploma when with the assistance of the Rotary Club _ Commission -- he is looking forward to getting established in his trade. Of the school itself, Glen could not say enough. It is designed in a U- shaped ranch house style with the living quarters and class rooms on the first floor. Blonde maple/furniture, cheery drapes, a spacious fireplace make it, as Glen says, "a wonderful place to live." Class rooms and living quarters are bathed in an abundance of sunshine which pours in through huge plate glass windows. Your Easter Seal Committee has mailed your Easter Seals to you. Through it now and to Va- riety Villge any time, youcan do handicapped: children. Town Audiior Presents Annual Report for 1951 At the regular meeting of Council on Monday night, the re- port of R. L. O'Gorman, auditor for the year 1951, was presented and read in part by the town clerk. He pointed out the town had an operating surplus of $1,108.50 for 1951 which along with other ad- justments left the current surplus of working capital, after provid- ing adequate reserves, at $31,265 which, in his opinion imdicated a sound position. The auditor states that "I wish to continue my recommendation contained in my last year's re- port concerning investment of unemployed cash balances which are now assuming too great pro- portions to be left in the bank earning only 1%. The greater part of your cash balances should be earning at least 3% interest and the same recommendation ap- plies to the balances in the Hous- ing Account. In respect to property acquired for taxes, Mr. O'Gorman drew attention to the recommendation contained in his report for the year 1949 relating to the setting up of proper records with refer- ence to each of these properties. A start has been made with a nucleus set-up but the work would require the full time of one office worker for several months and he strongly recomended that the work be undertaken.
