Leishman, Mrs, J.T 153 : HE HAILEYBURIAN | Subscription Rate: $2.00 per year Vol. 48; No, Town Men Stage Sit-Down Strike for Increase in Pay Full Council met in the council chambers at five o'clock last Fri- day evening. G. Sheculski, town foreman was present and H. Mil- ross and VY. Cooke represented the men, Mr. Milross said that in view of the continuing rise in the cost of living, they did not feei the demand was unreasonable. Councillor Dempster had looked into the scale of pay in neighbor- ing towns and after very little dis- cussion, it was moved by Council- lor Gough and seconded by Coun- cillor Poppleton that a raise of 5c be given to the town gang, sub- ject to the approval of the Depart- ment of Municipal Affairs. How- ever, when informed of the deci- sion, the men stood firm in their original demand and another meeting was held on Saturday. Councillor Dempster moved that the resolution dated April 18th recommending a 5c increase per hour for the Town employees working on hourly rates be changed to read "that A. Palmer be given an increase of 10c per hour, thereby making his rate $1.00 per hour and the rest of the employees receive 10c an hour in- crease making the rate 92c per hour as from April 15th, subject to the approval of the Depart- ment of Municipal Aaiffrs. It was moved by Councillor Mc- Aulay that H. Villeneuve's salary be increased to $2:320.00 per an- num and J. Gauvreau's salary be increased to $1,920:00 per annum effective April 16th, 1952, subject to the approval of the Department of Municipal Affairs. This is an increase of $10.00 per month over the present rate of pay. This in- crease will not appear on the yearly budget, as it already has been forwarded to the Depart- ment. : DEMAND FOR INCREASE MET BY TOWN COUNCIL It was a bright warm Friday morning and life was good to everyone but the Town Council who were suddenly faced with a strike by the town men for higher wages. Probably nowhere in Can- ada has a nicer spot been chosen to stage a sitdown strike. Their chairs up on the verandah front- ing the Town Shop, overlooking the glories of Lake Temiska- ming, the men sat down, filled their pipes and waited for action Their demand for a ten-cent raise which had been presented to the council before the end of last year had not been met. By eleven o'clock, they were' back onthe job assured that council would meet that evening and consider their proposition. 3 Ro HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO _THURSDAY, APRIL 24th, 1952 f <-SM@?'

Peas Create Friendly Bond Gourmets the world over ac- claim the excellence of the pea soup prepared in Quebec. But many of the peas which went into the preparation of this gastrono- mical delicacy were likely grown not in Quebec but in the North Okanagan Valley of British Col- umbia. For it is in the dry cli- mate of this rich valley that peas of a size and flavor unsurpassed elsewhere in Canada are produc- ed. When B.C. peas are combined with the culinary artistry of the Quebec housewife, the result is a pea soup that is spoken about with reverence in eating circles.

'Famed Canadian Singers To Appear in H. C. Parish Hall On Monday evening, April 28th, an event of outstanding interest will take place in the parish hall of Holy Cross Church with the appearance of the Canadian La- vallee-Smith Singers. Constant euort, compiete understanding be- tween the conductor and singers the will to live up to a fine tradi-, tion of mterpreting good music are but a few ot the concrete inethods used by the founder and director, Jean Charbonneau, and his choir to attain their goal, From 1938 until todav-. work has _ been glory and success. In Canada they gave 800 concerts before go- ing to the United States in 1943, lt wasthe first time thata Cana- their dian group had ever made a con- ' cert tour in that country. Two concerts were at the famed Town Hall where Wilfrid Pelletier director of _the. Metropolitan Opera declared: "I was impressed by the tone quality, the vitality and the precision offered by these singers." Desire De fauw, Chi- cago Symphony Orchestra, Rose Bampton and Raoul Jobin have been high in their praise. In 1950, the singers sang at the International Exhibition at Haiti MARIO RODRIGUEZ POCC CCC CC CCC CCC CCT. crowned with, MISS COTNOIR with both the New York Opera and Symphony Orehestra. A tour of Central and South America was then arranged. Before leav- ing, the conductor of the Miami Symphony in a glowing account said "from the first sound to the last one, everyone in the audience was impressed by the tonal and dynamic elaboration and diction of your chorus". Upon their return to Canada they have sung not only in their native Quebec, but all over the country. The Ottawa press said: "The singers were a revelation and the audience was captivated ~ by the charm of their interpreta- tions especially in the Canadian folk songs." During the past 30 years, 3,000 teachers from the Commonwealth have each spent a year on exchange in United Kingdom schools and the same number of teachers from Britain have taught in schools in the Commonwealth. Senior finance officials and economic ex- perts from Britain, Canada and other Common- wealth countries will attend a private confer- ence of Commonwealth finance officials in Lon- don in May to examine the sterling area's problems and discuss the progress made in re- storing the balance of payments between the sterling area as a whole and the rest of the world. e Accidental Shot Proves Fatai to Cobait Woman An inquest into the death o1 Mrs. Kenneth Monk will be held on May 25th. Mrs. Monk, 21-year-old wife of Kenny Monk goaltender for the Cobalt Inter- mediate B hockey team, was kill- ed Saturday afternoon when the rifle her husband was working on accidentally fired, the bullet en- tering the back of her head and killing her instantly, One of the most likeable boys in Cobalt, the grief-stricken young husband told police he had been scraping the stock of the gun with glass, intending to re- finish it, while his wife cleared the luncheon dishes from the kitchen table. In a state of shock he was unable to explain how the rifle fired. He was unaware that there was a bullet in the gun and wondered if an old shell had been stuck in the barrel. Provinciai police believe that in moving his arm back and forth scraping the stock, his sleeve must have cocked the gun. The couple described by Co- balt residents as "the happiest and best suited kids you could ever meet" were looking forward to the birth of their first child The 24-year-old husband had been so excited about the event that last month he had his wife teach him to knit and only Friday night had finished a pair of boot- ees for the baby. The funeral service was held on Tuesday in Cobalt. Mrs. Monk was the former Gloria Doris Cote daughter of Leon Cote, Cobalt town employee and the late Mrs Cote. Mr. Monk has been taken to the home of his parents, who live on the outskirts of New Liskeard. GavddianGelocsbia Trio Sparkle in Final Concert A revolution in taste has been taking place among organized audiences throughout the country in that the popularity of solo per- formers is being more and more usurped by what are known as special or group attrac- tions. Having listened to the Columbia Can. adian» Trio in New Liskeard Memorial Hall last Thursday night, we do not feel there is any necessity to analyze the whys and where- fores of this puzzle to the music critics--the concert and the warm response of the audience speak for themselyes--three young Canadiar artists, each brilliant in their own right sacrifice nothing from a musical standpoint and this, plus their personalities and obvious enjoyment of what they were doing went straight over the footlights to give their audience one of the best, if not the best, evening yet heard in the Community Concert offerings. - In a wore, they "Sparkled". The Trio opened" their concert with the chorus from Bach's Cantata No. 30, arranged by the young pianist, Jean Rowland Each of their numbers which included Mendelssohn, Debussy and Brahms in a program which they frankly state is designed to please, were brii liantly executed. Twenty-one-year-old Betty Jean Hagen, vio- linist and winner of the coveted Naumberg award, chose the Concerto in A Minor by Glazounow and as an interpreter indicated that she would develop into a musician of the highest order. She was complete mistress of a clear penetrating tone not marred by exces- ive vibrato Three numbers of Chopin's were played by twenty-one-year-old Joan Rowland and her subtle and flunet conrtol of tone and brilliant technical ability were proof that she is well on the way to the great future predicted for ber. Throughout, and particularly in the ensemble numbers her unaffected manner charm- ed the audience and her shading and control must surely be a joy to her companions. William Hossack presented a group of num- bers including Pergolesi, Goens and Sibelius with a tone of 'cantelina' resilience proving that he has a rare instinct for the 'cella. Arthur Godfrey says if you want your wife to return from that Easter holiday, cut one item out of the home town paper and send it to her. cord Oe Record Attendance at Chiidren's Aid Provinciai Meeting The annual meeting 'of the As- sociation of Children's Aid So- cieties of the Province of Ontario was recenly held in Toronto, Mrs Nora Fox and Mr. Harold Knight of Kirkland Lake and Mr. John Elliott, New Liskeard, and Miss Mieke Oomes, Haileybury, rep- resented this district at the meet- ing. The purpose of the Association is to bring the fifty-three Socie- ies of the province together, so that they can discuss problems common to each Society, to give leadership in promoting new thinking in Child Welfare, to help to standardize Child Welfare practices and to act as a group which can give united expression of thought for the fifty-three So- cieties. It is felt by those who have at- tended the meeting in previous years that this has been the most successful conference to date. Workshops on '"'Committees and Boards", . "Teen- "Foster Homes Agers', "Organization and Ad- ministration", "Protection'"', and "Child Care and Adoption', result- ed in common agreement on many principles and practices which previously varied through- out the province. In addition to work shops there were many noted speakers. Mr. George Lochead, barrister of Kitchener, spoke on the all-im- portant subject of "Principles of Custody in Divorce'? With the ever increasing number of divor- ces in Ontario this subject was of vital interest to all attending the conference. Miss R. Choate, a professor of the Toronto School of Social Work, University of Toronto, x4 spoke on the "Protection of Children in Ontario". As the pro- ake tection of children is ever becom= ing more complicated due to the "many outside influences which tend to disrupt and change family life in these modern days, all who attended the conference found Professor Choate's talk most in- formative and most helpful. Dr. Griffin, director of the Mental Health Association, chair- eda discussion of children's* problems. His use of a one-act play, followed by a discussion of the problems found in the child- ren of the play was a new ap- proach which was most helpful to all who attended, This year a new attendance re- was established with four hundred and five social workers and board members being pre- sent for the two-day conference The Association of Childrens' Aid Societies is an organization which is giving more and more leadership to Child Welfare in Ontario. It is through such meet- ings that they are able to pro- mote better child welfare stand- ards in Ontario. Britain's Ministry of Works announces that no applications for tickets to view the Coron- ation of Queen Elizabeth II can be entertained at present, nor can any list be compiled of those who send in such applications. If and when it is decided to provide reserved acco- modation, ample notice will be given to ail concerned.
