Mine-Mill Union Enters Cobalt Has Long Pro-Communist Record A union recognized tor years as Communist led and following Communist polices, the Muine- Mill and-Smelter Workers has entered the Cobalt mining camp. The Red union already trols the strategic nickel area at Sudbury, the sulphur plants at Trail, and has been active in the new uranium area at Blind Riv- er. It is now entering the Co- balt camp. The Haileyburian has learned through very reliable sources, that at least 90 per cent ol the 40 or more men employ ed by Coballoy mine in Cobalt _ have signed Mine-Mill cards, follow- ing organization work done by con- the union during the past three or four weeks. About three weeks ago, a group of miners were supposed to meet with Mine-Mill leaders at a hotel in Haileybury. Appar- ently only a few turned up. Mine-Mill organizers have been operating for the past few weeks from a Cobalt hotel, and have held many meetings in private homes. Activity in the Cobalt camp ,-by the Mine-Mill, follows the establishment of a Canadian Mine-Mill head office-at Toron. to. This is believed to have been caused by the U.S. government's pressure on all Communist front organizations.

Patrick, of the Rideau district staff, Ontar- i. Department of Lands. and Forests. Other officials are not overly surprised because, they say advance warning signals have been evident for some time. Close checks in the Rideau di- strict have shown that for sever- al years the number of young birds produced per adult pair has dwindled steadily. In_ spite of this, however, population re- maine at a high level apparently because of the unusual survival oftold birds during the mild winters of 1952-53 and 1953-54. A combination of unusually wet spring and summer weather followed by a severe winter with much snow and cold weather and topped off with sleet resulted in very poor reproduction and a subsequent 'serious loss of adult birds. "No one can be certain," says Mr. Patrick, "what caused the slump, but the reasoning outlin- ed seems the most logical in the face of present figures and knowledge of the ~ situation. Hunting" success was poor last fall and definitely showed that the slump was already under way. i ANGLICAN CHURCH The Anglican Church's regu- lar monthly meeting to be held in the Parish Hall Tuesday Sep- tember 13th at 3 p.m. Mary Whithy Wins Big Award May Study To Teach High School Mary Whitby, 18 year old dau- ghter of Mr. and Mrs. Max Whi- tby of Haileybury has been awarded one of Ontario's top ed- ucational prizes.

During the summer she has been working in the offices of Temiskaming Construction.

His licence was suspended ' for two years by Magistrate E. W. Kenrick. A Cobalter, James McCarthy, who pleaded guilty to a charge of vagrancy following a com- plaint from a janitor early on the morning of Aug. 24, was al- so sentenced to a 10-day jail term by the magistrate. "This boy when he works is a good worker," Mr. Inch told the cadi. "He had already been in jail since Aug. 24 and I am ask- ing that the period he has alrea- dy served be deducted from his sentence." The magistrate complied. Rapidly dispensed with follo- wing a guilty plea by the accus- ed, was the case of the Crown against Ralph McKenzie of Nor- th Temiskaming for intoxica- ton. The cadi slapped on a fine of $10 and $4.50 costs for the Aug. 27 infringement.. Out of court, intoxication cost a Timmins man, L. McGlashan the same amount, for having liquor. On traffic counts, C. M. Binkley, New Liskeard paid $1 and $3 for illegal parking and P. Lasyk also of New Liskeard, $16 and $3 for speeding. In Canadian cities of 4,000 po- pulation and over there were 64 murders known to police in 1953, and 51 of the cases were cleared by arrest. Raiders Take Third Loss "Will Win if Practice'-Coach Tri-Town Raiders were beat- en 14-11 Sunday by Noranda Fantassins. The defeat was the third of the Season for the Raid- ers. Coach Walt Acroyd said that his boys will have to turn out for practice if the Raiders are to do better. At the present some 10 or 12 of the players are carry- ing the load, and the balance on- ly show up for the games. "With practice we can still match .anything that is to be found in the league," Coach Ac- royd said. The Raiders dressed 22 men last Sunday, with new recruits including Giddings, Devins, We- iss, and Keon, Poor tackling and fumbled passes accounted for most of their defeat, although they were outweighed by the very heavy Noranda squad. Noranda had it all their own way in the first three quarters, but the Raiders started clicking in the last. Chiteroni set up a nice play, Bob Fleming caught the pass and Bob Rouse scored the Raiders' first touchdown. Then O'Grady smacked over the liné for another five points, and Bob Rouse converted. The Raiders were all set to even the score, when the timekeeper cal- led it quits. .
