~--™HE HAILEYBU IAN | Vol. 48; HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23rd, 1952 AWB Subscription Rate: $2.00 per year No. 33 Mayor Lauds Services of Asked for his opinion this week on the Temiskaming Health Unit Services, Mayor A. H. Cooke said that "it was the best forward step taken by the Town in years". The Health Unit, which has been active here for the past year operates atacost of $1.40 a per- son per year. Half of this sum is returned to the Town in the form of a grant each year so that the actual cost is 70c per person. An overall sum of $1,400.00. per year is spent on the service and in- vestigation reveals that any other comparable scheme would likely cost in the neighborhood of $3,- 200.00. The service covers every phase of community life. No avenue to good health is overlooked. A Sanitary Inspector is con- stantly checking restaurants, ho- tels and dairies--every conceiv- able source of_contamination is investigated so that citizens are assured of full protection| Water purity is tested regularlv. -These are routine checks but at any time, town fathers and citizens are free to contact the Health Unit for advice or assistance in ironing out their daily problems. If a contagious disease crops up or in the event of an epidemic, the Unit stands ready to so into immediate action. They have the full support of the Depart- ment of Health at Toronto. A veterinary service is extended to the entire area. The Medical Health Officer, Dr. Harris, makes regular visits to Haileybury to check om health problems and consult with the staff. Perhaps the most important aspect of the Unit affecting the day-to-day life of every indivi- dual is the service of the Public Health Nurse, Miss Muriel Rice. A Graduate of Kingston General Hospital, Miss Rice returned to her native town in 1950 and as Mayor Cooke said, "We feel ex- tremely fortunate to have obtain- ed her services". The plan of nursing service carried out in this district is the same as that in effect throughout the province and is part of the whole cémmunity health, medi- also Health Uuit Temiskaming cal, educational fare program, and social wel- Pre-natal calls and follow-up tional calls once a week until the child is six weeks old are made regu- larly.

If a satisfactory solution is not reached soon, H. M. Reid, local organizer for the United Stee Workers Union, who has been representing the municipal work- ers during the negotiations said that the union will probably ap- ply for conciliation services by ihe Ontario Labour Relations Board. The point over which the union and council cannot agree is a voluntary revocable checkoff. A system wherby the employees un- ion dues averaging $1.75 each per month are deducted from their pay by the town. Agreement has been reached on a majority of clauses in the proposd agreement, including holidays with pay, sta- tutory holidays, sick leave and inéreased rates of pay. Pay rates agreed to are $1.15 an hour for the truck driver, $1.10 for the waterworks man, $200 monthly for the pumphouse man, $1..05 for the two utility men and $1.00 an hour for the two laborers. Mr, Reid blamed town clerk Cyril Vziena for the council's re- fusal to agree to the check off. "The clerk said he wouldn't agree toit and the council strung along he said. "It seems a_ strange situation where the town clerk gives orders to council". Mayor Ken Buffam angrily de- nied that the council was tak- ing orders from its clerk, Mr. Vezina pointed ont that it would mean a lot of work for him and the rest of us agree" he said. "T can see no reason why for the first year, the union's repre- sentative should not collect the dues. We have gone alone with the union on most things, and agree to pay increases ranging from 10 to 15 cents per hour. The members of council have given up a great deal of their time to these discussions and I can see io reason why the union should eet sore now." Mr. Buffam added that if the union wants to iake the matter to a conciliation board, he has no objections. "By the time they have finished discussing things with various boards, this council will be out and they can start all over again with the new council if that's the way the want it", he said.

On Cadets in Peace or War Addressing the Home and School Association on Tuesday evening, Lt.-Col. G. L. Cassidy put forward a clear and resound- ing call to parents to recognize the basic principles. of Cadet Corps organization in Canada. "Militarism", said the Command- ing Officer of the Algonquins, "is alien to our thinking and our heritage. Our national instinct is to shy away from it. In com- parison, if we were to live in an- other part of the world, it would be part of our nature." Taking first the broader pic- ture, Mr. Cassidy said it was not generally known that the Cadet organization is an integral part of of the military organization of Canada. They form a definite function in the over-all organiza- tion of the Army. The peacetime active force is relatively small, numbering some 50,000. The Reserve, however, is larger innumber and ineludes the first line and the more shadowy supplementary reserve officers and ranks who are in and out of civilian occupation. The Cadets bear a close auxili- ary connection with the Army being assisted if and when nec- essary prior to coming into full- scale service. They do not, as some are wont to believe "just drift.' Administration is hand- led by a Cadet Service made up of five or six officers and 30 or 40 N. C.O.'s of the active force person- nel who travel around through- out the year to see that instruc- tion follows a pattern and active- aly assist in training. In the case of the Haileybury Corps, the bulk of the work is handled by Corps officers and instructors within the Corps itself. Mr. Cassidy pointed out, that there are two types of Cadet in- structors. In Haileybury, they are drawn from persons already in the Reserve. Then again, there are the civilian instructors who take a month's course at active force Army camps. With regard to the Corps it- self, there are two types. Firstly, the closed Corps restricted to High School personnel. In peace this is a voluntary organ- time, } ization. Mr. Cassidy pointed out "that although in wartime, a mandatory basis was commndable Ye did not believe that pressure should be applied". Secondly, there is the open Corps which is not restricted to any educational school, but calls on elementary High Schools or working lads from 1 4to 18 years of age. "The Algonquin Corps 1s a NO- velty" said Mr. Cassidy. "There are only three of its kind in On- tario." I mmediately following the war, a natural apathy settled over the countrly and attempts to perpetuate cadet life on the old basis had lost their appeal. For- tunately, there was a nucleus of boys in the three towns who did not wish to give up the idea so it was with them in mind that the Algonquins sponsored a Corps. In spite _of setbacks, among them the loss of recruits to the Air Cadet Corps in New Liskeard, the Corps has blossomed under the able guidance of Major L. H. Charbonneau and Capt. R. Pop- pleton. Patterned after a regular military organization, the Corps is administered by a military in- structor, they advance through the ranks and equipment is fur- nished by the army. Although they are not paid for training through the year, at Suey comp thAey receive a stipend for completing the course. The program for the Corps at the local headquarters is laid down by higher authorities and atten- tion is given to developing special abilities. Mr, Cassidy spoke highly of Cadet life at summer camp at Ip- perwash. Driver's courses, sig- nal work and a Junior Leader's course give the Cadet aualifica~ tions which are considered should he join the Reserve. A Cadet is automatically a Corporal with a Liv- are Junior Leader's certificate. ing conditions at the camp excellent; it is proof against in- fluences with no drinking and a slim allotment on leave. In summing up his views on the value of the Corps to Canadian life, Mr, Cassidy said, "I believe that it does pay off in the long run. While everyone does not come back with the torce, tney are available in an emergency. The Reserve Force counts on them for their continued strength and to keep the military picture alive. "They are trained', he said, "at that age where youth soaks up knowledge and_ best absorbs military training. They are the best source of officer ma- terial which is always in short supply." Although the govern- ment intended to rely on Univer- sity C.O.T.C.'s for officer mater- ial, Mr. Cassidy said that he felt "you could take them all and dump them inthe ocean. He ex- plained that a man must stay abreast of the continuous changes in the military world and that a six or seven year lay-off was too much. The Cadet is the best source because he has four years of training behind him, most of them are sharp and race through the rest of the training. "To my mind", Mr. Cassidy said, "the non-military assess- ment is by far the most important cadet Whe Sealing as a teacher who recognized the importance of discipline, he said he had seen a boy whom one rec- ognized immediately as "ticket- ed for trouble" go to a seven- week cadet camp and come out with something worthwhile drill- ed into his mind. He submitted to discipline fully and respected authority. Discipline comes from a voluntary decisiow to obey. The idea of self sacrifice channels an energy which is going to burst out somewhere. Beyond _ this, they get an idea of service and ASueCI TE patriotism, Rebekahs Plan for Installation of Officers The regular meeting of the Northern Light Rebekah Lodge was held on Tuesday evening. The charter was draped in hon- or of the late Ellen B. Whorley. The Noble Grand, Mrs. J. V. Dinesen, extended a cordial invi- tation to all members to be pre- sent at the installation of officers which will take place on the 28th of October. At this ceremony, District Deputy President Mrs. L. Richard will officiate. Her assistant will be Deputy Marshal, Mrs. Larsen. Mrs. Jack Cragg and Mrs. Thelma Carpenter were com- mend for doing a magnificent job on the Christmas Card project. WEEK'S WEATHER Week ending Oct. 22nd, 1952 wyiax. Min.
