HE HAILEYBURIAN ~ HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO THURSDAY, JANUARY 27th, _ 1955 | Subscription Rate: $2.00 per year Vol 50; No. 47 Car Accidents Up in January with Icy Conditions ST . With a week to go, car acci- dents in town during the month of January had reached a total of eight, one short of last Jan- uary's total of nine. Fiye of the eight accidents were reportable. In nearly all cases icy driving conditions were directly respon- sible. On January 4th, vehicles dri- en by Mrs H. Jenkins and L. Allard of Haileybury were in- volved in a minor accident at Russell and Georgina. Two days later a car attempted to pass a transport on Rorke Av- enue. To avoid a head-on colli- sJon with an oncoming car, the driver was fortunate enough to escape by turning off on a_ side street. Meantime, Henry Clou- tier driving the oncoming car had applied the brakes on the icy road and crashed head-on into the transport driven by Murray Nesbitt of Toornto. The trans- port was damaged to the extent of $250.00 and the car was a to- tal wreck. Taken to hospital for treatment were Joyce Gar- eau of Cobalt and Bill Grist of Hound Chutes. Three cars were involved in an accident on Main Street, Mar- garet Tedesco of Cochrane made the turn at the bottom of the hill sliding into a car owned by the car continued on and struck Philip Lavallee of Lorrainville another driven by Russell Mc- Roberts of Latchford who was coming up Ferguson. Damage, all told to the three cars was $700.00. E. Sauve and Marcel Dinel of Haileybury collided at the corner of Georgina and Cecil on Janu- ary 7th with $200.00 damage to the Sauve vehicle and $50.00 to the other. The next day, Art Cooke and Geofiey Giddens of Haileybury met at the corner of Probyn Street and the Lake Shore Road with resulting dam- age of $75.00 to the Giddens ve- hicle. On January 11th, Gerry For- get, driver for Joe's Taxi and Arthur Theriault were involved in a minor accident at Cecil and Georgina with $80.00 damage to the taxi. A car driven by Jean Lapalme of Haileybury stalled on Rorke Avenue and a three-way crash occurred with Kenneth Mae Lean of Cobalt crashing from behind and Adelard Pelletier of North Cobalt failing to see the MacLean vehicle with resulting damage $60.00 to the Lapalme car and three hundred dollars to MacLean's.

FORMER HAILEYBURY MAN DOCTOR FOR PATIENTS ON HMCS MAGNIFICENT A well known Haileybury man was probably the busiest doctor in Canada over~ the week-end when the HMCS Magnificent's sailors were sériously poisoned after a drinking patty aboard Canada's biggest naval vessel. Surgeon Lieut. Commander Harvey Little, according to re- ports in the Toronto Star, had been on duty for 36 hours ad- ministering to the sick. Joining the after his graduation from the University of Toronto, Dr. Little has been residing in Halifax with his fa- mily for the past several years: navy GEORGE COUTTS A past member of the Board of Studies of the Royai Con- servatory of Music of Toronto, .and for many years a leading member of the piano, theory and organ faculty of the Con- seratory, George Coutts will conduct current *,aminations tor the Conservatory in Hail- eybury on February 12th. He is well known from coast to coast ag an examiner and ad- judicator. A Westerner---Mr. Coutts was a faculty member of the Regina Conservatory be- fore coming to Toronto--he is keenly interested in the devel- opment and growth of music education in Canada. A church organist and choir master, Mr. Coutts is one of the mo.t pop- ular and experienced .examin- ers sent out by the Conserva- tory each year. Neighborly News Ceiebrates 15th Anniversary The fifteenth anniversary of Neighborly News broadcasts, one of the most popular features of Canadian radio, will be marked by a special broadcast on, Sunday day, Jan. 30, on stations of the 'Trans-Canada network. While the 15th anniversary applies specifically to the Ontario broadcast of Neighborly News, the special program will be heard nationally and will include the voices of Neighborly News commentators across Canada -- Les Way British Columbia; C. F. Greene, Prairies; Don Fair- bairn, Ontario and Quebec; Jack Brayley, Maritimes; and Gerard Brady who does a French lan- guage ersion of Neighborly News in Quebec. CBC hopes to have W. B. Sawdon of the Sackyilla Tribune-Post, president iof 'the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association, as a guest on the show. During the 15 years of its ex- istence, the Ontario Neighborly News commentators have scan- ned more than 150,000 copies of the English-language weeklies of Ontario and Quebec, and have read on the air more than 30,000 items totalling some million-and- a-half words. Since the program began, greetings have been ex- tended to some 40,000 people in Ontario and Quebec'entering the ranks of the "Over-Ninety Birth- day Club." The fact that city dwellers like the program at much as those who live in the smaller centres is proven bY, surveys Neighborly News in Ontario has a larger audience than any other program on the air at its time of broadcast. CBC's Reid Forsee will produce the special anniversary program, and Don Fairbairn will act as host. Horsee has been with Neighborly News since it began starting out as its announcer and later becoming its producer, a post he still holds. Fairbairn took over as commentator seven years ago, after the death of the well-loved Andy Clark who through hs association with the program was dubbed "the mayor of little places." The anniversary program will be heard across Canada at the following times: 8 .pm. NST; 7:30 p.m. AST; 6.30 pm. EST; 5:30 p.m. CST; 6:30 p.m. MST; 5.30 p.m. PST.
