Kinsmen Club Honoured For Best Builetin The Cobalt-Haileybury Kains- men Club has been awarded the f--_--wistrict Trophy ior tie best chy bulletin issued in 1952, This award is due to the excellent editorship of Lorne Umphrey and it is a great honor when it is con- sidered that there are over forty clubs in our district, ranging from Timmins to Toronto. The loca} club bulletin is known as the Temiskin .and is issued semi- monthly keeping all members in- formed of the local and district Kin doings. At the last meeting for this Kin year held on Monday evening at Portage Bay Lodge, the trophy was presented to the (ub by Don Edwards who had recently received it from the award com- mittee at District No. 8 conven- tion at Cleveland's House, Mus- koka. Twenty-five members and their wives attended the fishing expe- dition at Portage Bay Lodge and if the fishing catch was not up to expectations, the Svaghs**i and meatball] dinner served by Mrs. Chitaroni quickly dispelled any fishermens gloom. New Mines Minister Visits This District The new Minister of Mines, Hon. Philip T. Kelly and Deputy Minister H. C. Rickaby, are to arrive in Cobalt today, where the¥ will meet with various mining of- ficials*and will probably have an opportunity to visit several of the mines in the area.

Official Lauds Kitimat Development "Because of the fantastic need for electric power, a town is being born in the wilderness,of Cana- da's north Pacific coast,' S. W. Fairweather, vice-president, re- search and development, Canadian Naional Railways, said following visit to Kitimat, B.C., where a half-billion dollar power and alu- minum smelter project is ander way. "It is more than a town. It isa monument to the new pioneer- ing spirit, the jatest manifesation of confidence and courage in our resources that will bring us great" er rewards than we ever dream- ed of" he added. Mr, Fairweather made the trip to inspect the route the new C.N.R. line will follow from Ter- race, 94 miles east of Prince Ru- per, to serve the new port and town of Kitimat. He said the Canadian National Railways had more than doubled its train ser- vices in northern B.C, to meet the rush of inbound materials and workers, and added that northern and central B.C, is almost reeling under the impact of this sudden development of its wilderness. Referring to the new 10-million dollar railway linking Terrace and Kitimat, he said the prelimi- nary survey had been competed. The line will be 43 miles long. It was anticipated that the Canadian National would benefit traffic-wise not only from alumi- num at Kitimat but also from the presence of 2% billion feet of timber accessible to the new rail line. He also expected a fishing industry to grow up at the new coastal terminal and produce refrigerator car traffic to eastern Canada and the United States. C.W.L.

The Department of Public Works is presently directing its attention to the playing field west oi the Provincial School of Mines. The preliminary work of sur- veying and erecting the levels was carried out by members of the Schoo] staff and a bulldozer has been hard at work for several days shifting great masses of clay so that a level playing field witha I drop each 100° from west to east will be available for sports. Previously there had been a 12' rise between the west and east ends, Looking out over the field from the second floor of the Mining School, one can't, even yet, help but marve] at the apparent ease with which the modern machine operates, It is fitting indeed that one of Canada's finest educational insti- tutions should have what will un- doubtedly be one of its finest play- ing grounds for rugby and other sports.

Five Man Committee to Study Mining Legislation Following a request by former Mines Minister W. S, Gemmell from mining municipalities witha view to overhauling Ontario's mining legislation which has seen nomajor changesin the past 60 years, a meeting of the Northern Ontario Association of Mining Municipalities took place iq Tim- mins last Friday. The meeting has authorized a five-man -cmmit- tee to look into Ontario mining legislation and make recommend- ations for changes at a meeting with Mines Minister Kelly, set tentatively for mid-September. Besides the NOAMM'S brief to the minister on changes in mining legislation, each member munici- pality will send individual briefs containing its own suggestion. The meeting was attended by representatives from Sudbury, a dozen member municipalities ai McKim ( near Sudbury) and 'Black River. The latter three are not members but signified that they may apply for membership. Haileybury was represented by . Councillor Leo Gough. A discussion on new mining grants to municipalities was led by J. W. McBain of Teck town- ship, author of the McBain for- mula on which the legislation is based. Naming of the five-man mines legislation committee was left to Mayor J.W. Spooner of Timmins, president of the association, and Reeve V. H. Evans of Tisdale township, head of a committee set up previously to deal with legislation affecting mining lands. Besides municipal representa- tives, also attending the meeting were Hon, P, 1. Kelly, Ontario Mines Minister and his deputy, H.C. Rickaby, Neither of them took an active part in discussions: Movement toward a change was started, but not firmly, five years ago. Matters came toa head early this year when the depart- ment of municipal attairs, which controls assessment laws, intro- duced legislation at the request of the Mines Department to change regulations covering min- ing claims, 'he change, in effect, would sever mineral and surface rights ot mining claims and return min- ing rights to the crown. The pur- pose was to Open up mining prop- erties held by non-developers. ithe law was to apply only to properties taken over by munici- paliuies for non-payment of taxes on surface rights. (The munici- palities have no right to tax-min- eral rights), Mining municipalities claim such severance would make it impos- sible for them to realize any tax revenue or sale revenue, since the surface rights are in most cases valueless and the only incentive a prospecting purchaser would have ar the minerals in the land. NOAMM members agreed gen- erally on non-severance, but final formulation of proposals rests with the committee, Outstanding Concert Held At Ville Marie, Quebec A group of forty-one Hailey- bury music lovers had the oppor- tunity and pleasure of hearing a concert given by our well-knowi violinist, Arthur LeBlanc, who Save at Outstanding performance at Vile Marie on June 14th, The trip was arranged by Mrs. J. A. H. Joyal, who was able to have a special bus service for the tour. < Those who travelled to the con- cert (among them some of the Academy students) will remem- ber the occasion as one of their nicest summer evenings, Violin- istice gifts of uncommon appeal were displayed by Arthur Leblanc throughout his program, which was thoughtfully chosen to please the Northern population. Worthy of particular mention ~vas his own composition""Caprice d'Enfant" which he has dedicated to his first little daughter, Louise. This number was full of the ten- derness and 'love that a father artist can show in compositions such as this. The smoothness of his bowing was something to marvel at. His accompanist, Charles Reiner is a pianist vir- tuoso. . Lake Safe for Swimming The Temiskaming Health Unit official, Mr. Forrester of New Lis- keard, reports that recent tests on water samples taken from the Rotary Beach and the water fronting the area of the recent sewer trouble on the Lake Shore Road show that the water is safe for swimming. These tests are routine and will be made at regu- lar intervals throughout the sum- mer months and reported in the paper. Career Girl The girl who leaves school this summer with no plans for her fu- ture career, might well considera new field in nursing. Nursing assistants are now being trained to aid graduate nurses so that the highly specialized skills of the nurse may be utilized to better advantage by the hospital, The training of the nursing assistant is shorter--nine months only-- and she is assured of full-time em ployment . Provincial health departments and the federal de- partment of Veterans' Affairs, Ottawa, will supply information on these training courses.
