~HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO THURSDAY, APRIL 22nd 1954 Subscription Rate: $2.00 per year Vol 50; No. 7 Man's Best F riend Proves Haileybury's Worst Enemy To some the signs of spring are bursting buds, smoke of last leaves and radiant rain- To others, and this year it appears to touch the entire population, spring comes with dogs--dogs on your front porch dogs on your back porch, every- where a dog. : An actual count is not available but from reports rolling into the Town Office, there is a growing fear that the animals travelling inp acks like hungry wolves have taken over. Something drastic is going to happen if this keeps years drops. up. < A lengthy and often heated de= bate on these canines at last week's Council meeting proved beyond ashadow of a doubt that aman can give and take on any subject and no harm done but when it comes right down to discussing his dog strange things begin to happen. One flip- pant remark about the familys prized possession and the same man who a moment ago was a quiet living individual mending his own fences turns into a rag- ing tyrant. In order, therefore to keep the peace in this small town and preserve friendly rela- tons over the tulip patch, we are withholding names ot Councl- lors and citizens alike who are cuilty on the count of allowing their dogs to run at large. Greatest menace to the mental health of citizens is the dog who leaps out of nowhere and chases cars shattering the nerves of the driver, menacing the safety of highways, driving housewives in- to the nearest closet to look for mnioths and worse than that, set- ting a bad example for other dogs who had no intention of chasing a car. What to do? Councillors all love dogs but really seeemed to think that sucha dog had no brains at all and should be shot forthwith. Just dogs--no matter whether they have a birth certificate or not--who roam on any street at any given hour are going to have to stay at home or suffer the consequences. Many of them are netiher fednor cared for and unless the owner takes more in- terest, he would be well advised to get rid of the dog and try a budgie bird. : Dogs travelling in packs--at the school in particular--are a menace to the safety of children Reports of small children having been attacked in other centres led one Councillor to insist that this sitfiation must be attended to at once. One other corner where these disturbers of the peace have chosen to hold their meet- ings in splendid numbers came under fire. Council listened at- tentively to a fellow member blaming the situation on a few stray dogs who should have been kept at home but the story lad no ending as the Municipal Police advised the Councillor in question that they had had a complaint regarding his dog's ac: tivities from an area one street removed. No one had much more to say. It would be wise, however: for dog owners to get a dog tag at once, beause althougha dog may be a "man's best friend" citizens are not going to be patient much longer and when planting time comes all Haieybury is going to break loose. KIRKLAND BOY WINS CASE FOLLOWING BICYCLE ACCIDENT Driver of a truck, R. L. Kruger of Kirkland Lake was found guilty of 80 per cent negligence in court last week amd cyclist Ronald Hueston of Kirkland Lake 20 per cent. In handing down judgment, Hon. Mr. Justice Moorehouse said "I find the boy is a bright: intelligent youngster a very good and in all respects a truthful witness. Jt is miy opinion that the driver should have seen him soone r. Mr. Fedora, an im- partial witness saw him over a block away." The boy sued for damages arising from an accident last May in which he broke his leg. ta Northern Ski Club DANCE & PARTY AT THE CLUB HOUSE INAY FRI --will hold a-- CLOSING SO lees APRIL 30th eSTstttits $oSobess Ai, a a a te nae ah te tn te Op tn tintin tnt tn Ante teint tnt nttinte tatetn etter SPR Tea and Produce fable VROVECUSUGRECV GOGO UPEVGOEUGUGOVUGVERQUELY THE W.A.

Diamond Jubilee Next Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Hotel Haileybury, a meeting of all committee chairmen and their committees is being held. The Town could do with a few handsome signs for the Jubilee ... last year a citizen suggested a sign on the Lake Shore road with a few remarks about the lake .... to. begin with, what for tourists have had to stop and ask....How long? Ilow wide How many fish by actual count arid so on .... and just with that thought, we read that the Boy Scouts Second Ar- rowsmith Troop: British Colum- bia, took a hewn slab of native wood, eight feet long by twenty inches deep and carved the words "Alberni Welcomes You'". .they plan to present the sign to nearby Alberni for erection on the main highway, at the city limits. The first reservation for the Diamond Jubilee has been made and the honour goes to Cyril T. Young, one of Haielybury's ex- Mayors and a thoroughly repre- sentative Haileybury man _ for he has taken a prominent part in the evolution of the place. In 1906. he came here and took up mining, operating in every camp in the District. As he put it, "i wouldn't miss this Diamond Jubi- lee for anything." The Executive have everything rolling here for the four big days in July. Letters are going out cach, day to firms for contribu- butions and a ready response has been encountered. Away, away back when this was the forest primeval and the Indians were busy trapping for their livelihood, Haileybury was the stopping place on the long trek between the Hudson's Bay Factoryzat Moosonee and Matta wa....you hear it said every day "The Matabanick Hotel" but did you know that this Indian word is history itself for translated it reads "A place where they come out"....the Hotel was first own- ed by Stuart Blackwall and John Westron. Never underestimate the ladies whenit comes toan electionor a Diamond Jubilee. Mrs. J. Bou- reau, chairman of the Ladies Activities has a head full of won- derful ideas from a baking con- test to a handicraft show. What- ever the plan, you can be sure that, assisted by all the organ- izations in town, Mrs. Boudreau will come up with a winner. How many times shave you walked on Lawlor Street in the heart of Lawlortown? Did you know that it took its name from P. T. Lawlor, who was employed by C. C. Farr to work on his farm.. It was then that Lawlor located the farm immediately to south east and in the years tc follow, when the town began t: grow, he made lots available to those who couldn't afford to buy in the centre of town where prices had jumped as high as $4,500 for business lots and $500 for residential. In the summer sunshine there is no more beautious sight than that from Lake Temiskaming looking to the west over the town, with its magnificent shore- line sloping away from a fine WEEK IN COURT G.

It is hard to be- lieve that in 1906, there wasn't a house nogth of the present La- frange home at the corner of Probyn and the Lake Shore. The committee for Firemen's Day will meet again this week to make a final draft of plans 'for their big day beginning with a parade and following through the afternoon with wagon races and the works. Meantime, the Town will get the Lake Shore Road in tip-top shape to do justice to the 3rigade's efforts. In the early days, there was only one easy way in and _ that was by water.
