H. Cooke sug- gested to his members that he would like them to consider plans lor new gates to Mount Pleasant Cemetery. lt will be the fourth time that the preliminary steps have been taken to complete this project, but for various reasons and through no one's fault in partic- ular, the project has never been completed. Councilolr Rk. Popple- ton offered to assist Mayor Cooke in prelimmary arrangements ané it is hopedthat interested citi- zens will lend a hand. When a concrete plan-has been set up, the Cemetery Board will give their full assistance. All monies handled by the Cem- etary Board are derived from the sale of lots for which there must be perpetual care. Interest from a Trust fund takes care of this expenditure so that additional 1m- provements must be made through other sources. Ideas on the setting up of 9 Fund for the gates and the best addition situation for the new would be welcomed. Interested volunteers are needed to assist in getting the plan underway. Mayor Cooke would appreciate hearing from evervone Meantime Chairman T. Lemon of the Ceme- tery Board has expressed a wish to start the Fund off with a $100. contribution The late Mrs. H. Hennessy purchased the present site of the Cemetery in 1921 and the follow- ing fall, it was sold to the Town of Haileybury Since that time, Mr. D. Cooke has been caretaker and as Mr. Lemon said this week, "T do not believe that there is any better tended cemeterv this side of Toronto. People from all ovet the countryhave complimented us on it, which bears out my words that 'Darius has done a wonder- ful job'."

Watson You may think it's a sleepy town, but there's a big black book on the building inspector's desk that tells a story for 1952--it's a story of people who needed a home of their own to live in, of adherents of a faith who needed a church to worship in, of enter- prising men 4yho saw the need for apartments and homes to rent, of a handful of citizens who saw the need for a gymnasium ior children to play in. In_ the face of great odds, they all found a simple solution--one of a com- bination of three factors--two hands, hard work and determina- tion, High on the hills of Latchford street stands a one-storey, five room bungalow. The happy own- Mr: and Mrs. A. L. Barry, have a sweeping view of lake Temiskaming that is a hone builder's dream, a contractor built the outside shell, the roof and chimney, but from there it was in the hands of the Barrys. Work started in May, they moved to the house in June and they are still busy on the inside. They expect to be at it for another year yet, but it has been well worth the well worth the effort. Jim Whalen's story and a half house lends a bright new note to Blackwall street. Eighty per cent of the work on this house with its brick layer foundation, full basement, chimney, two bed- reoms, dining room, living room and kitchen on the first floor and two bedrooms on the second was done by the owner himself. After, hours and on Saturdays he had the help of "a real gilt edged carpenter, Ben:Bourget"' without whose services, Jimmy says, "he could not have done the job." Work starte d on the attractive white house with bevel siding and regent blue asphalt roof on June 27th; on August 27th, the meter was installed; September 15th was tbe big day. for the. move. Today, it is finished outside, hasa full chimney from ground up with a fire tile inside and work con- tinues on the interior. "Things are going a lot faster than I ex- pected" said Jimmy, "because | am getting a great deal of help irom my wife. She's as good at insu- latisg as I am and the job of com- pletely insulating with 2" batts of fibre glass is half done. Six- ty sheets of gyproc are already neatly in place with thirtv to go. Happy are they with a beautiful new home and amazed at the amount cut off the cost. "We expect to be very comfortable by Christmas" said Jimmy. "J love it' said Mrs, A. b. Short. It's a white and green, wood top and feather edged bot- one-storey bungalow with a ply- tom. Five men from Hill-Clark's put the house up after hours in twc and a half months. -Mrs, Short is so enthusiastic, she'd like to build another one just like it in the spring, Ona fine summer day, the ring of hammers cut across the still air on Blackwall and Georgina. On roof, two people were busy build- ing a4house. Asked how it was going, they both replied "it's hard work" but today, T. J. Fingerty and his wife have a modern storey and a half dwelling which they may well be proud of. ers, erected three one-storey bunga- lows with cement foundations in the vicinity of his store and three further south. Occupants included two mill operators from Beard: more and their families, Garnet Ross, who is with the Penn-Cobalt Mine, George Aldridge and his family, Wilfrid Leveille who is with Hill-Clark and Carl Reich of Beardmore who has _ been working with Mr, Vannier on the projects. At the corner of Russell and Georgina, William Thomp- son of the Northern Telephone Company has just moved into a five roomed Vannier-built house with full basement. A one storey five roomed cottage at tne corner of Blackwall and Georgina has been sold by Mr. Vannier to Robert King of Woodstock fora summer home, When folks had time to spare they went to the corner of Rorke and Marcella to build a church with a seating capacity of 120. 'Yoday, the building stands as a living proof of the faith of a Sev- enth Day Adventist. Julius Neilson, Clem Hoover, Pastor G. k. Anderson, School teacher Mich- ela Misik and many others from the surrounding district have dug, sawed, hammered and built so that adherents would have a place to gather and worship God. Rigid followers of the Ten Com- mandments, firm believers in the second coming of Christ and in- terpreters of the Sabbath as sun- set Friday evening until sunset Saturday--these arethe menofa world-wide organization whose faith is a revelation to their fel- low men.

On Rorke avenue, Arnold Demp- ster is putting the finishing touches to an imposing looking duplex with central double garage' A great deal of the actual work in both cases was done by the owners themselves. On Valentine's Day, 1945, the Haileybury High school burned tc the ground and the pupils thought it was the nicest Valentine they could have had, For seven long years the School Board worked on a plan. Few will ever know or thoroughly understand the trials and tribulations endured but sometime between Christmas and the New Year (barring any unforeseen holdups) a new gym- nasium will open its doors to children and adults for recrea- tional purposes.
