~~. THE HAILEYBURIAN HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27 th 1952. Subscription Rate: $2.0@per year Vol. 48; No. 38 Annual Prospectors' Classes Open at N. Bay in December The annual prospectors 'classes which will be conducted by Dr. W. D. Harding of the Ontario Department of Mines this year in North Bay from December 8th to December 13th, inclusive have grown steadily in importance and scope sinct the first one was held one early spring day in 1894 in the little Eastern Ontario mining community of Marmora: In the years since, these classes have had avery definite although intang- ible effect on Ontario's half bil- lion dollar mining industry. Refinements have been added to the curriculum, but the pre- sent-day classes held by the De- partment of Mines are patterned largely after that historic first attempt to teach tyro prospectors and experienced veterans more about what to look for, and the most promising fields in which to seek hidden wealth. The study of rock still represents the founda- tion of the course, and subjects pertaining to minerology and geology still occupy about ninety per cent of the class time. Also taught are such subjects as min- ing and staking regulations and prospecting methods. Afternoon sessions of the six- day are devoted t o the study of minerals. Lectures on geology are held in the evenings. In recent years the evening in- minerals and class struction has been augmented by the showing of motion pictures of interest to prospectors and bush- men. Recent advances in geophysica' prospecting methods have neces- sitated discussions of the ele- mentary principles o fthat highly technical science. - Likewise the Geiger counter has played its part in the demonstrations of the last two years. The course is localized to the extent that itme is usually made available for discussions regard- ing the rocks and minerals of the area in which the class is held. Rocks and mineral specimens are distributed without charge to members of each class. More than a million samples have been given out by the Mines Depart- ment since the first class for prospectors was held. The fact that many of Onta- rio's present-day prospectors are excellent amateur minerologists is due at least in part, to the pre- liminary knowledge they gained in these classes of the Mines De- partment. This year's classes are being conducted at Peterborough, North Bay, Beardmore, Atikokan, Port Arthur and Schreiber. The classes are conducted by the De- partment without charge and a cross-section o fthe average at- rs tendance provides a surprising picture. The nucleus is normally composed of miners and prospec- tors living in the area, but their number is always augmented by laymen with a spontaneeus ip terest in mining and geology. "This group usually includes mer- railroaders farmers, clergymen, artisans, doctors, and office wokers. Al- though their numbers are not large there are usually a few women enrolled for instruc- of prospectors or miners or school tion. They might be the wives teachers. The records show that a few women have become well- known prospectors. chants, teachers, New Liskeard Baal Haileybury C. of C's Announce Store Hours For the benefit of busy shop- pers during the Christmas sea- son, the New Liskeard and Hail- eybury Chambers of Commerce announce the following store hours for December: Haileybury--All stores closed Wednesday afternoons, except clothing stores.

His Worship Arthur H- Cooke, who enters his third term as Mayor of Haileybury Sunday Billiards No Concern of Town Council If the propostd Haileybury Re- creation Club proceeds with a plan to play billiards on Sunday, it will be their own responsilibity. The opinion of the Town Solici- tor, Dalton Dean and a study of the Minor's Protection Act com- bine to indicate thtat Council is in no way responsible for such an undertaking. € In reply to Council's request for advice on whether or not a poolroom operator could be pro- secuted for renting his poolroom for use on Sundays, Mr. Dean stated that the question would appear to be whether or not this would be in contravention of the Lord's Day Act. In one reported case, the own- er of a bowling alley made an arrangement with a club, where- by the members thereof were permitted to bowl on Sundays, the owner receiving a percent- age of the receipts: In that par- ticular case, the owner was con- victed under the Lord's Day Act. In another reported case, the owner of a bowling alley leased it for all Sundays in a seven- month period to a bona fide Re- creational Association and 'its members exclusively. In that particular case the owner was found not guilty of a contraven- tion of the Lord's Day Act. "In any event," Mr. Dean stat- ed, "it appears to me that it is hardly the Council's duty, or mine as town solicitor, to advise a citizen whether or not we believe he will be convicted under a Federal Statute." The Minors' Protection Act which was read to Council during their meeting, reads that "the keeper of a _ licensed billiard, pool. or bagatelle room, kept di- rectly or idnirectly for hire or gain, shall not admit thereto a child under 18 years of age, or allow such a child to remain there, unless the child is accom- panied by his parent or legal guardian, This section shall not apply to a child who is a member of the family of the keeper or his servant or who does not go to the billiard, pool or bagatelle room for the purpose of loiter- ing or to play billiards, pool or bagatelle therein, nor where the keeper had reasonable cause to believe that the child was not un- der 18 years of age." Section 2 states that no person shall either directly or indirectly sell or give or furnish to a child 18 years of age, cigarettes, cigars or tobacco in any form. This section shall not apply to a sale toa child for his parent or guardian under a written request or order of the parent or guardian.

It was in October that Coun- cil decided to drop their services saying that a more favourable service could be obtained at less cost, but their action has been an issue in township affairs since.

On the basis of this report, Mr. Hop- kins said that "he was contide™t of the outcome of the plebiscite". The report gives a clear picture of service renderd to the town- ship since it joined the Unit. The Public Health Nurse, Miss Rice, has spent 2% days per week in the North Cobalt area and % a day per month at Moore's Cove. At this time schools are visited as well as the homes, Ninety-three maternal visits and 238 visit s to homes where there was a new-bor" infant have been made. Forty-five visits were made og behalf of pre-school children and 85 home visits because of school children. 142 families in Bucke have received home visits from the nurse, The total visits to in- dividuals was 534, Three institutions, the North Cpoalt Public, St, Martin's Sep- arate and Moore's Cove Public schools have received constant attention and include health in- spectiqns, physical examinations child health conferences and im- munization clinics) Attendance at the latter was 294. In the field of sanitation, the inspector has made 307 visits to the township. 137 water samples were taken. Inspection of eating establish- ments totalled 44. Forty-five visits were made re- garding complaints concerning accumulation of manure. Sanitary arrangements in the schools were closely checked. Veterinarian services show in- valuable service to the producer in a better quality of milk. "We feel,' said Dr. Harris, "that we have made a good start in developing a public health pro- gram in Bucke Township, but it is only a start." School Bounds Entertained By High School Staffs On Tuesday evening, Nov: 18, the High School teachers of Co- balt Haileybury, New Liskeard entertained members of the School Boards and their wives at a dinner held in the Legion Hall, New Liskeard Miss M. Fuller, New Liskeard HighSchool, chairman, introduc- ed the members from the four towns and the guest speaker, S. G. B. Robinson, secretary of the Ontario Secondary Schoo] Teach- ers' Association, who came from Toronto for the occasion. His address was of great interest to both teachers and trustees, stress- ing the friendly relationship which should exist between them and the constant efforts being made by the Federation, both to maintain and increase standards of efficiency in the profession and also to settle the occasional dif- ferences which arise between staff members and trustees. Lieut.-Col. Cassidy, Principa! of Haileybury High School, thanked Mr. Robinson on behalf the teachers. An interlude of piano music was provided by Miss W. Kelller. The fact that ninetyfive mem- bers were present, an amost complete representation, showed that this event, the first of its kind in the district, Was a most successful yenture, Englehart and the tion meeting on Thursday night and will enter his third term as head of Haileybury's affairs. In a statement following the meet- ing, Mr, Cooke said that "he was disappointed in the near total lack of interest in municipal af- fairs". z Only six of the seven candi- dates to fill the six seats on Coun- cil qualified with the result that they were acclaimed. Those acclaimed were H. A Day, Omer Allard, A. C. Demp- ster, Charles Camsell, D. H, Mil- lar and R. J. Poppleton. N. J. McAulay, who has served as chairman of the finance com- mittee for the past year, was nominated, but refused to quali- fy. Mr: McAulay has served the Council for three years but stat- ed that he had to withdraw due to pressure of business. - Leo Gough, Chairman of Fire and Police for the past year was the only other member of Council to step down this year, The vacancies will be filled by H. A. Day and D. H. Millar, both of whom are familiar names in the municipal field and will bring a wealth of experience to their positions. . Mr. Millar, who is office man ager of The George Taylor Hard- ware has served on several coun- cils in Haileybury. His last term of office was in 1951. He is also A study ofMr. Day's history reveals his prominence in the re- building of Haileybury--as Sec- retary of the Rehabilitation Com- mittee formed immediately af- ter the big fire, he played a big part in getting the area back on its feet. His greatest advantage in_his new position stems from his early career as a newspaper man dur- ing which time he attended all council meetings. Mr. Day was manager of The Haileyburian when he became editor and man- ager of the Silver City News, a semi-weekly. In 1912, Mr. Day became assessor in Haileybury and the following year took the job of tax collector: In 1918 he accepted the posi- tion of clerk-treasurer hre which he held until 1928 when he joined the Northern Ontario Power Co A motivating factor in his bid for a Council position this year sprang from a feeling, as he said that "it could not do any harm to lend his extensive experience in town affairs to the council." Qualifying and acclaimed for the Board of Education Were three candidates, W. Edey who enters his third year on the board and H. A. Doran, who has served for five years in school affairs and one new comer, Mrs. S. Bond. T. G. Tulloch is the retiring mem- ber, having served for tourteen years as a board member.

The Northern Ski Club put ina bid for $100-00 to assist in defray- ing the expenses of their recent building project. It was decided that the committee would receive a report on outstanding bills which may have been incurred and assist the Club by direct pay- ment in the above mentioned amount. $75.00 was pigeon-holed for the Midget Hockey Club which is being sponsored by the Kins- men Club this year. The money will be used to see that' young- sters are well padded and ready for action in the opening game. Large Crowds Enjoy Opening of Ski Club Chalet With a happy smile, President Leo Gough handed the pinking shears to Mayor A. H. Cooke on Friday night at the Ski Club. Stepping to the south entrance of the Club, the Mayor performed the simple ceremony of snipping the big red ribbon to officially open the Northern Ski Club. Tht feelings of one hundred and seventy-five citizens present at the opening were expressed by Mr. Cooke when he spoke of the magnificent undertaking that had resulted in the building of the chalet. He paid tribute to those who were immediately respon- sible for this fine addition to the community life. In reply, Mr. Gough spoke of the heartbreaking day when fire had levelled the original chalet. He ouched briefly on the work that had gone on through the months but his enthusiastic au- dience needed little imagination as they stood in the glow of the (Continued on Page Four) WEEK'S WEATHER Week ending Nov. 26th, 1952 max.
