Leishman, Mrs, JI 153 HE HAIL HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO THURSDAY, JANUARY 8th, 1953 Subscription Rate: $2.00 per year Vol. 48; No. 44 Rev. Tames Semple Appeals t Youth to Strengthen Church There could be no finer begin- ning for the New Year than this National Week of Prayer. Speaking to Christians of every denominational leaning who came together in "the 'Anglican Church on Tuesday evening, the Rev. James Semple of North Bay sounded a warning note that Christian churches must not only: worship: but 'must witness. A church must be a_ teaching church and in this respect the speaker referred to the fact that the Communists-have more meet- ings in Los Angeles than . the churches, . 56,000 Communists in the US.A., 48% of whom are in basic industries could sabotage essential industry. They are tar more active than before the war. He' pointed dut that it was typi- cal of human'nature that if the program is "against", the hall would be filled but if it were "tor' the hall would be empty. "When a church is no longer mobile, when the pioneer spirit has left it, when the mssionary vision is no longer an inspira- tion, when the challenge to high adventure under God fails _ to awaken a response in prophetic words and redemptive deeds then that church is dead and we must have a period of re-thinking." We are living", he said, "in a world ignorant of what ute with Christ in God really is.." He pointed out that too many igno- rant Protestants believe that faith in God matters little and it is our business to confront them with our own premises, The church should be a "mind forming society" and if it is not then we should learn a new lan- language' so that this generation will understand what we are talking about. We must proclaim the faith of our fathers in the language of our children. In this respect Mr. Semple re- ferred to the young airman who said to his padre after being briefed on the target for the night :"Padre, if the church had hostilities started briefed us for life, with the samecourse he meant t care, we would have made a much better job of living". Our church, continued the speaker, must be made up of people who are seeking righteous ness instead of safety. Too many want to make sure of what they term "salvation". It is a word with a pious sound and Jesus had no love for it. "Whosoever shall save his life, shall lose it" he quoted. Motives were important to Jesus and itis moral coward- ice to seew safety. On this theme Mr.. Semple noted that the only unsafe place in the Holy, Roman Empire in the early days, was tht church. To Jesus, righteous- ness meant making a new world. "We must have a church witha deep concern ot help youth", the speaker said.. Jesus appealed to young people as readily seen in his choice of disciples.- Every ' great movement since that time has been led by youth as proven by the example of Luther, Wes- ley, the Pilgrim Fathers, and a host of others and recently World War I] when men too young to take up the offering were not too young to run a 250,000 bomber to save civiliza- tion. : The prayer meeting was con- ducted by Canon C. Goodier and Rev. A, Denholm. There was a poor attendance. ea New Appointment to Board of Education At the December meeting of the Separate School Board, Mrs. Darry Hogan was appointed to tht Board of Education. This is the only appointment made to the Board each year as the others are elected by popular vote.

Harry Holiand Dies in Sunnybrook Haileybury and the mining world lost one of its best known friends and a real pioneer last week when Harry Holland passed away on Saturday in Sunnybrook Hospital after a len- gthy illness of several years. Born in 1881 in the city of Ottawa, Harry Holland devoted his entire life to prospecting in various parts of Canada. He was responsible for many discoveries but like so many others who have sought the rainbow at the end oi the trail, he never hit the jackpot He came to Haileybury in 1905 and through the years gained a reputation as a prospector that few could equal. Hardy, inde- pendent,_self-reliant and cour ageous, his were the qualities of the real trail blazer. His brusque manner concealed a soft, gener- ous heart and he was always ready to help anyone in need. In 1908 Harry Holland was a member of the Lucky Scott ex- pedition to Baffin Land. Enlisting in Borden's Armored Battery in November, 1914, he served overseas in France and Belgium. from April, USN ye say 1918 and was awarded the Mili- tary Medal for bravery, in the field. In accordance with his will, he will be cremated and his ashes will be scattered over the Islanci at Temagami where he and his brother, the late Eddie Holland Cobalt's postmaster, spent much of their time.

(Gordon) Wallingford was one of the sixty-nine Ontaric lawyers whose appointment as Queen's Counsel was announced last week by Attorney-Genera Porter. Mr. Wallingford was the only barrister from Northerp Ontario to receive the appoint- ment. ie * The newly honored lawyer be- W gan practicing law in' New Lis- Keard in 1946, going there from. Sudbury where he practiced for > in Knowledge of Forest Resources Ontario leads all Canada in administration of its forest re- sources and in many things leads the world. This was the state- ment of Lands and Forests Min- ister, Welland S. Gemmell in To- ronto as 1952 drew to a close. The recently completed forest inventory carried out by the De- partment and industry, he point ed out, was the first accompush- ment of its kind recorded by any Canadian provinces and, in fact was one of the largest and most complete carried out anywhere. "For the first time in its his- tory, a Canadian province now knows the extent, the variety, the quality and the potential of its forest wealth," he said. "The mass of facts gathered in the course of the inventory has en- abled us to plan for the tuture development of our forests." The forest resources inventory has taken nearly five years to com- plete, with hundreds of thousands of photographs being taken from the air and now made available to government departments, tne industry and others interested. Ontario's plans are incorporated in the management units which have been established to develop or improve the lands now avail- able to the Crown--to the peo- ple of Ontario. The inventory for the first time told us what wealth we possess, and now that safely say that we have turned we know I can safely saye that we have turned the corner said Mr. Gemmell. The inventory started in 1947 pointed out. The totdl area photographed from the air a- mounts to more than one million square miles. More than 3,00C base and type maps have been mad~as a result of the survey. Ground control surveys carried out by the Department covered $5,000 square miles, while indus- try took care of another 80,00C square miles, he pointed' out The inventory has shown us that 127,000 square-miles of the total area surveyed consisted of forest land and 38,000 miles is waste land. Of the forest land 13,000 square miles or 89 per cent wa owned by the Crown while only 14.000 square miles or 11 nei cent was private land. Of the forest area thus sur- veyed 46 per cent is composed of mature timber, 11 per cent com- prises immature growth, while 14 and 8 percent respectively, con sists of young growth and seed- lings. Lake Shore Apartment Sold to George -- The ownership of the Lake Shore Apartments changed hands last month when Geof¥e Belland purchased the block from Judge Jj. A, Legris. it was in 1937 that Mr, Legris had the foresight to rebuild the old Knights of Columbus Hall into the present building over- looking the lake. Being the only apartment house of its kind i town, it has 'proven to be a valu- able asset to residents. : Mr. Belland, who resided in Haileybury for thirty years prior to going to Kepuskasing for the past two years, did much of the carpentry work necessary when the building was renovat- ed. He and his wife plan to take up residence in the building short- ly and make a permanent hom, there, Asked if he was glad to be back, Mr, Belland's face reflected the answer in his reply. "When you have lived in a place like thfs as long as | have, know all the nice people here and have se many good friends... well, yes it's nice to be back. I never felt at home, over there," he said. Inaugural Meeting The inaugural meeting of the Haileybury Council will be held in the council chambers on Mon- iday evening at 7.30. : The simple swearing-in cere- mony for the Mayor.and Coun-. cillors will be devoid of any un- usual ceremony. ? o Northern Ontario's Ontario Leads |All New Appointment Announced For Governor of District Jail -- --JAIL _-S=Z escvx thmb z : Harry C.
