~"THE HAILEYBURIAN HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO THURSDAY, AUGUST 5, 1954 Subscription Rate : $2.00 per year Vol. 50; No. 20 Misericordia Hospital Head Gala Parade to Open Jubilee Flags fluttering gayly in the breeze on Haileybury's beautiful Lake Shore Road and on the docks, a blazing sun in a clear blue sky, citizens and visitors lining every street and around the familiar bend leading into Town came the gala parade. More than thirty colorful floats were highlighted by a beautiful tableau of Florence Nightingale and the nurses of the Misericordia Hospital who took first prize. A cold sight on a torrid day was the happy scene of the "roaring game" who swept their way to second prize. Through it all, we sympa- thized with the judges who had only three prizes and a continuous stream of "firsts" drawing applause at every block. The Township of Bucke was right in there for Haileybury as they have been from the beginning and were easy win- ners with their scene reminiscent of the good old pioneer days. Gathering at the Rotary Beach where once the early trail blazers landed in their "pointers", the cere- mony began with Mrs. A. H. Moss, granddaughter of the founder, C. Cs Farr, stating, "with the cutting of this ribbon, I declare the Diamond Jubilee open." With her on the platform were Mayor H. A. Day, Ann Shipley, M.P., Bob Herbert, M.P.P., and Cyril T. Young. In his speech, Mayor H. A. Day said "that it was a great honour to address Haileyburians, old and new as well as so many visitors from all parts of Canada and the United States. This town," he continued, "has been the cradle of some of the most distinguished residents of the north--the mineral resources of Kirkland Lake and Timmins, not to mention Red Lake and the uran- ium deposits of the north are in- timately tied up with Hailey- burins and Haileybury enter- prise." Looking ahead, Cyril Young, Mayor of Haileybury in 1908 "saw great possibilities in future years with the coming of the gas line for the development of this country." To a cheering audience, Ann Shipley and Bob Herbert brought greetings for a successful jubilee and the day was underway. Powder Box Derby Delight of Every Child In Town Screams of delight, thrills and spills-all" because of Connelly's gar- age and Jack Grady with his judges Sid Smallman and Ted Liscumb; down the Main Street hill charged the powder box boys to steal the en- tire show for the week. Winners were Maurice Plaunt of New Liskeard, Peter Bond, Hail- eybury, Ivan Bradley, New Liskeard, Lloyd Males, New Liskeard. For the best car, Peter Bond carried off the Class A and Lloyd Males Class B. For true friendship we are adding a prize to Bobby Jenkins and Peter Bond who worked together to build a car, tossed for the driver and none was yelling louder for his chum than Bobby.

Haileybury, Ont. Lumber Truck Lands in Lake After Wild Trip Down Main The fates were kind on Monday morning at 3:35. What might otherwise have been a tragic note in a happy week turned into a miracu- lous escape for the driver of a truck and his two companions when their vehicle loaded with lumber roared down the Main Street hill straight for the lake and jumped the em- bankment to do a belly flop seventy feet out in the water and submerge. Tancrede Francoeur of Halle- bourg, Ontario, the owner and driver of the truck was on his way to Hearst with a load of lumber accom- panied by Jean Larocque of Hearst and Maurice Roy of Kapuskasing. Turning down Main Street, the driver attempted to gear the motor down but the transmission went and the motor stalled. Jamming on the brakes was to no avail as the seven ton load behind proved too much. It was believed that the master cyl- inder broke under the strain. Interviewed shortly after the crash Mr. Francoeur said that he scarcely knew what had happened or had time to think. However, with the speedometer reading 45 at the Fer- guson Avenue intersection, he knew that a turn would mean a crash into the Liquor Store and chose to head straight for the lake. He was fam- iliar with the town but believed that he would drive straight onto a sand beach. Had he known of the steep embankment, he thought his choice might have been different. In the darkness, he could not see the re- cently levelled lot to his left. As it turned out, no one was in- jured as the impact of the lumber against the cab separated the cab from the truck and the doors flew open so that they were able to es- cape into deep water. The roaring noise and the crash had startled residents in R. J. Poppleton's duplex and his son Roger and a brother, Henry launched a boat and brought the men to safety. When the driver last glanced at the speedometer, he was travelling 70 m.p.h. ™nvestigating the accident Con- st#ci2 Scanlon observed that it was fortunate that the accident had not occurred forty minutes earlier for this particular corner was alive with merrymakers returning home from the Curling Club dance and Mart Kenny. Legion Ladies Have Busiest Five Days Feeding Visitors .If ever there was an army of work- ers, it was the Legion Ladies serving meal after meal in the Legion Hall and what is more, smiling through it all. We doubt if one of them had a chance to enjoy the affair but there were no complaints because they tell us when the Centennial comes they will be in wheel chairs and will have reserved seats to do nothing but enjoy themselves. Jen Plaunt, convenor of meals would like to thank all the members who help- ed, and the l.egionnaires wives for their pies. Special thanks are extend- ed to Mrs. George Hargrave, Mrs. F. Weston, Mrs. D. Gardner, Miss Anita Plaunt, Mrs. G. Kirk and the Hotel Haileybury. Department of Mines All Out For The Mining Capital Haileybury says "'Thank You" to the Department of Mines this week for giving the go ahead signal to Inspector Paul Hermiston to pull the stops and do everything to see that Haileybury's mining show was the best ever. Not only did they provide full assistance for the colorful set- ting on the waterfront but their movie "Rainbow's End" depicting various aspects of prospecting was a highlight of the Jubilee. And if you think, those trees grew down there on the shore, you are so mis- taken. This was the only major expense--the hauling and planting of twenty-four fine trees, otherwise it was spirit and love of "the best old town." i Three Little Winners "Three winners in one family was the happy ending of a colourful children's parade directed by Park Supervisor Suzanne Smith and her assistant, Suzanne Lecky Patsy Day and her brothers Gordon and Bobby, children of Mr. and Mrs. D. Day. Other winners were Susan Cavanugh Judy Kirk, Ivan Fleury, Norma Abraham, Larry Gleason, Bobby Gough, Trevor, White, Rory Mac- Diarmid, Alan Gardiner and Patsy Thoday. A rythm band and square dancers were also entered in the Jubilee activites and on Thursday, the children were enchanted with Mrs. J. W. Hughes display of dolls and her talk on their colourful hist- ory. = ROTARY SPORTS DAY At the end of the water sports a long and varied prize list of events ranging from kickboard to under- water swimming was drawn up by the life guards at the beach near the Rotary Park who did the jud- ging of the events. Commencing with the boys eight years of age and under, winners in the kickboard event were as fol- lows: Stewart Glassford, Rodney McDonnel and Barry Scully-all of Haileybury, For the girls of the same age group, the first prize honours went to Linda O'Grady of New Liskeard, with second and third places won by Theresa Mercier and Jackie Watson, both young Hailey- burians. In the swimming contest for boys 12 and under Glen Watson of Hail- eybury and Bob Jenkins of Hailey- bury beat Don Meisner of New Lisk- eard who placed third. The cor- responding girls' contest again went to a Haileybury girl. Carol Bouley with Sharon Pettman and Carol O'Grady in second and third places. Popular with participants and spectators alike were the various diving competitions of a novelty type. Diving for plates saw Hal Hammerstrom, Haileybury, Glen Watson, Haileybury and I. Wood- ward as winners. OTHER EVENTS Other events with their winners were: Boys 16 and under, (swim- ming). J. Grayden, Hal Hammer- strom and T. O'Grady.

Special Nectine of Council Deals with Mixed Business Council met in a special meeting on Tuesday night. to clear up several matlers of business that were hang- ing fire. Among them was the sewer and waiter project for the south end of the own and it appears to be a sure thing that water will go in right away and depending on the esti- mates of an expert who will be en- gaged this week, a sewer line will also be installed. Nothing prompts Councillors lo smile quite so gayly as the sale ot io.s and another went last night to the new school inspector, M. C. Napper who applied for the lot next to O. E. Walli on Latchford street. 'tum: Craig wnose application was received at an earlier special meet- ing for the job of Foreman began work this week, At this same meeting Real Dupuis was given the job of garbage col- lector for the town. Miss Therese cancelled an earlier application for a lot and her offer to purchase one on Ferguson and Cecil for $200 was favourably re- ceived. A by-law for the building of a cement side-walk from Brewster to Rorke on Florence street was read three times. Council was in a jovial frame of mind--we hastily add most of the time - and heard Mayor Day say "'that the poor suckers in the south end all have sidewalks. If you want them in the north end you can get them the same way by pay- ing for them." All agreed to assist the Rotary in finding a suitable lot on which to build a storage house for their equip- ment which. Rotarian A. Mosher pointed out was expensive and they wished to get it all together safely under one roof. Discussing the oiling of streets, the Mayor grinned at R. J. Popple- ton and asked if there was any rea- son why oiling stopped at Council- lor's streets. "Your street," Mr. Poppleton rejoined has been beauti- fully fixed, you have no complaint." Mr. Day said, "I agree and I also have a light in front of my house.'"' Mr. Mosher stepped in with "We'll both be accused of that one." VISITING FIREMEN SHOW THE WAY IN EXCITING EVENTS Big, shiny red trucks and march- ing firemen. were a delight to every child and adult on Saturday as the parade took off from the Hall head- ed for the lakefront and an after- noon of games. CBC's television men headed the show with their camera trained on the parade and later on the games where their de- termination to take shots of Hailey- bury led them to a good drenching from the fire hose. Somewhere in the excitement, they told us. they had shots of everyone and every- thing in Haileybury and it would be coast to coast next week. The actual results of the exciting races follow, but in the meantime, if we have a fire, we hope Billie Hughes is on and because as one spectator yelled "Look, he's up the ladder before they even have it raised. " Haileybury gave an ex- hibition run to lead the way in 65 25th seconds and a ladder run in 19 1-5. Results: Ansonville, Wagon run 57 sec. Lad- der 17 1-5 sec. New Liskeard, Wagon run 57 2-5, Ladder, 19 sec. Rouyn, Wagon 45 3-5, Ladder 16 1-5. Cobalt, Wagon, 50 sec. Ladder 18 3-5. Our good neighbours were disqual- ified in the wagon race for leav- ing a length of hose on the wagon but we still think they are good. MINING CAMP SCENE OF INTERESTING DISPLAY The most intersting spectacle of all from an historical point of view was old timer Jim Price's display of hand steel drilling on the same rock which won him the title of world hand drilling champion back in 1908. . Using an eight pound sledge hammer which he brought back from New Brunswick for the occasion (the same one he used in the good old days) he and Goff Smith of Cobalt pounded their way through twenty- eight and a half inches of solid gran- ite in a bare 15 minutés -- to put them on top of the world in an art no longer practiced. The machines which now do the job hands once tackled courageously, are better, Mr. Price acknowledges and have been in use for close to 40 years. The setting on the lakefront was all that a mining capitol could wish for as Paul Hermiston had turned the area into a staking ground to explain the art to the visitors be- tween prospectors tea. We send thanks to Coleman Town- ship for their part in this event. A wise wife always slaughs at herhusband's jokes, not because they are clever but because she is. WEEK IN COURT Unlawfully keeping liquor for sale cost Carel Masek of Cobalt $300.00 and costs in Magistrate Atkinson's court last week. Larry Poikkamaki of North Cobalt was driving while impair- ed and was fined $75.00 ana costs. Walter Swiergos of Kirk- land Lake had no chauffeur's li- cense and paid $10.00 and costs.
