i ar es [ Leishman, Mrs. HE Northern Ontario's Oldest Weekly AILEY Newspaper URIAN THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1955 Vol. 51; No. 25 Natural Gas Will Pass Throw oh Town Victoy For Cyril Young Former Haileybury Mayor Led Fight For North Route Haileyburians can look for- ward to having natural gas in town, if the Trans-Canada Line Company can raise the money needed for the construction of the 2,340 mile line. A report from Ottawa stated that the board of transport com- missioners has given the pipe line company permission to swing its route further north of the Great Lakes. The switch will bring the line through Hearst and down Highway 11. What still isn't known is when or if the pipeline company can raise the $350,000,000 needed for constructon of the mammoth line. The decision of the pipeline company to bring the line on the northern route, is a major vic- tory for Northern Chambers of Commerce, municipal associa- tions and Northern Citizens, who have been battling for more than a year to change the route. CYRIL T. YOUNG One of the first men to recog- nize the importance of bringing the line through the north, and the most outspoken advocate of the northerly route, was Cyril T. Young, Northern pioneer and former Mayor of Haileybury. Last year Mr. Young appeared before the board of transport commissioners and other Ottawa groups to appeal for the. North- ern route. He personally tramp- ed through the bush along the proposed southern route, and re- ported that it was impractical and expensive due to the rough terrain. Mr. Young also addres- sed the Northern Ontario Assoc- iated Chambers of Commerce at their annual meeting in Temaga- mi, and many other groups. He said then that the future developement of Northern On- tario will depend largely on a cheap source of fuel, and that the gas line will open up the country. A. R. Herbert, MPP for Tem- iskaming, and industrial commi- ssioner for the ONR, told the Haileyburian that tht prospect o getting natural gas will make it easier to persuade industrial con- cerns to locate in the north. The majority of | Northern municipalities have already giv- en franchises to the Northern Ontario Natural Gas Company for distributing natural gas in their communities. It is under- stood that the fact that these franchises had been granted, as- suring a large market, helped persuade the Trans-Canada Pipe Lines to change the route. Herbert Said No To Cabinet Jobs Recent cabinet changes in the provincial cabinet have caused comment in the North that A. R. Herbert, MPP for Temiskaming, was overlooked by Premier Frost. However, sources close - to Queen's Park have informed the Haileyburian that Mr. Herbert has twice refused cabinet posi- tions. Mr. Herbert's aggressive campaigning on behalf of the North since he was elected, rap- idly brought him to the attention of top Tory leaders and at one time he was slated for either the department of mines or the de- gartment of lands and forests. However, Mr. Herbert refused both positions on the grounds that his business connections in the north made it impossible for him to spend as much time in Toronto as would be required of a cabinet minister. He did, how- ever, agree to accept the vice- chairmanship of -- the Ontario Northland Railroad, as he felt that his knowledge of local con- ditions would enable him to do a good job. : Mr. Herbert is also industrial commissioner for the ONR, and has been doing a good deal of ground work in this connection. One large industry that has now located at North Bay, was al- most persuaded to set up a mul- ti-million dollar plant at- North Cobalt, and North Bay only won out because it has connections with three railroads. Another ljig American group of financiers is currently inter- ested in establishing a manu- facturing plant close to the sources of certain raw materials found in the North, and the ONR industrial expects their repre sentatives in the area shortly.

TRI-TOWN RAIDERS LINE-UP BEFORE FIRS game from left Regimbal, Mackenzie row - Jackson, Senior, T GAME Le last Sunday, when the Raiders took the field for their first game, and to right back W. Fleming, Fancy, Hurd, G. Rouse, Pop- Tri- Town Loses To N. Tri-Town Raiders took a 12-0 beating from North Bay Rough- riders in their first game of the season at Haileybury. The Raid- ers were outnumbered two to one, dressing only 14 men. Coach Walt Ackroyd was thrown into the game in a last minute effort to stem the tide, but was forced out when he aggravated an old leg injury. Jackson, Fancy and Chitaroni, Poppleton and MacKenzie car- ried much of the Tri-Town load. Troy of North Bay scored all the Bayites' points. Throwing up a solid defence which the Tri-Town gridders found tough to crack, the Roughriders struck for seven points in the first quarter, then protected their lead for the next two quarters. In the fourth, they added another touch-down. Ball carrying was made diffi- cult by the fact that the field was almost entirely covered with a heavy growth of clover, almost ankle-high. This made it hard for players of both teams to run. The Combines took the air with a desperate forward-pass- ing attack, but although a coup- le of passes clicked, most were incomplete or knocked down.

Telephone Workers Hold Meeting Here The Communication Workers of American Union (CIO/CCL) met at Haileybury Sunday to formulate a new aggreement with the Northern Telephone Company. One of the usual features of the agreement is a special clause covering the termination of em- ployment where workers are laid off following the installa- tion of dial systems. The termination of employ- ment clause, believed to be _one of the first of its kind, provides specifically for workers in the Noranda area, where the. tele- phone system will be converted to dial in the near future. How- ever the union indicated that it would form a pattern for similar agreements elsewhere. Terms of the clause call for the company to pay a week's salary to employees who shall have served one year but less than two when the conversion takes place, two week's pay for those employed two years but less than three, three week's for those employed three years but less than four, four weeks' ter- mination salary for employees serving four years but less than five and finally five weeks' pay for those working with the com- pany five years or more. Work- ers also get other benefits. The Northern Telephone Company will stand the full cost of Blue Cross and surgical services for unionists. Prior to the signing of the agreement the company paid half the cost and the employee half. There are wage benefits. Plant workers get a three-to-eight- cent an hour raise, traffic work- ers a $1 to $3 hike weekly and clerical staff a $1 a week raise. These raise are retroactive to July 1. Another clause of the ment is an improved "temporary transfer provision." This means the company must specify be- forehand the time their employ- ees will be away from town on transfer jobs and must pay the trip home for workers. Effective July 1, 1956, there will be an across-the-board in- crease of four cents, and in fut- ure all workers, who take their vacation in the winter months will be eligible for three weeks. agree- It is estimated that for every Canadian employed in the min- ing industry, four others are em- ployed in related or supply in- dustries. Ne Liskeard, 'Bay Kirkland Shops Friday Nights _. Haileybury Merchants. Uncertain Kirkland Lake has switched to Friday night shopping and early closing Saturdays. but local merchants are still dubious about the idea. Cobalt has had Friday night shopping for more than a year, but local merchants are afraid that stiff competition from New Liskeard might hurt Haileybury if the local merch- ants changed to Friday night op- ening. A quick survey made by the Haileyburian of representative local merchants showed that few were definitely against the idea of changing store hours, and many in fayor of it. Max Whitby said that he is not against the change, but in the drug store business, it will be necessary to consider the con- venience of local doctors, who have patients coming in from the country on a Saturday after- noon. Mrs. R. W. Douglas said that she is in favor of changing to Friday night openings. "She said that the traditional Saturday night shopping is now very much a thing of the past. A. Abraham--'If all the Tri- Towns changed to Friday night opening, | would be in favor. But if we went it alone, we would be chasing people to New Lis- keard." Marcel Proulx--'"I close both Friday and Saturdays anyway, but I think there would be more business Fridays." G, Davies--"I have closed ear- ly Saturdays fora year and a hali, and I don't think it has hurt my business. I find that after 6 p.m., it is a waste of time stay- ing open ona Saturday." Mr. Davies said that he thought some consideration should be gi- ven the possibility of giving store clerks a long weekend dur- ing July and August by staying open Friday evenings, and clos- ing all day Saturday. James Reavell---"'T prefer the present hours, and I wouldn't find Friday evenings worth- while." Mr. Reavell stays open until 8 p.m. Saturdays. Wilf Gibson--"Personally, I'm for Friday night shopping, and I have talked it over with other merchants a few times." Sid Smallman--'I'd be for it if the whole district was the same. We are closer to New Liskeard than is Cobalt, and might find it tougher than Cobalt did if we changed to Friday nights, while New Liskeard stayed open Sat- urdays." BISHOP TESSIER AT ROUYN Bishop Maxime Tessier was in Rouyn during the weekend for the dedication of the Rouyn Clas- sical College and the opening of the new Rouyn Court house. The Classical College is oper- ated by the Oblate Fathers, and is one of the leading educational institutes in Northwestern Que- bec. BIRD SEASONS AND BAG LIMITS Duck hunters in Ontario will be allowed a daily bag limit of eight ducks during the 1955 hun- ting season. This bag limit does not include mergansers, and may include not more than one wood- duck. Five geese, twenty-five rails, coots and gallinules (in the aggregate), eight Wilson's snipe, eight woodcock and eight mourning dove may also be taken each day in this Provy- ince, and the possession limit for all is 2 days' bag. In the most recent year of re- cord, 1952, there were 20,368 companies in Canada that opera- ted at a loss and 35,228 that op- erated at a profit. Six Horses Die : $70,000 In Fire A $70,000 fire at Glendale Stock. Farms destroyed three valuable stallions in ablaze that could be seen for miles, and at- tracted hundreds of spectators. A yearling, a pony and a foal al- so died in the flaming ruins of the barn. The stock farm is owned by James W. Brown, noted Canad- ian horse breeder, and is situated seven miles north of Haileybury. The three prize stallions which died in the fire were Count Han- over, son of Billie Direct, world champion pacer; Goodwill Bill, son of Volomite, world champion sire, and Ned Abbey, half-broth er of world champion Greyhound and son of Nedda, world champ- ion mare. Value of the three three horses was $10,000. Last year Canadian business films paid $8 million a week into employee pension and welfare plans and unemployment insur- ance and workmen's compensa- tion funds. STAG HAILEYBURY FIRE DEPARTMENT .
