--- THE HAILEYBURIAN THURSDAY, NOV. 3rd, 1955 Northern Ontario's Oldest Weekly Newspaper Vol. 51; No. 35. Cobalt Still Fighting Council Battles Railroad The battle to retain the ONR long distance telephone office in Cobalt still goes on, although the ONR seems to have decided once and for all that the ex- change will go to New Liskeard. In the meantime resentment in Cobalt has not lessened and every section of the community has rallied around the town council in its battle to save a $30,000 payroll for the town. BATTLE NEWS Premier Frost has not yet re- plied to the wires sent him by the town council and chamber oi commerce. Cliff Lowery has had his off- er of a lot for a dollar turned down. O. J. LeBlanc of Cobalt who owns an adjoining proper- ty has also offered to donate his lot. The town council has appealed to the Ontario Telephone Au- thority, a government board, for council has also asked the ONR for a copy of the engineer's re- port on which the decision to move was based. New Liskeard interests have appealed for unity, and say that the three towns must work to- gether, Also suggest that any- one who criticizes the ONR is a very wicked man, who must have a personal axe to grind. Mayor Ken Buffam _ reports that the battle isn't over yet by a long chalk, and last week went on a_ mysterious trip and came back confident.. He was accompanied by Cliff Lowery and the Haileyburian's editor. The trio said that they could not reveal where they had been, but they travelled several hundred miles, interviewed a lot of people, acquired a good deal of information, and will be dropping a few bombshells an independent enquiry.

Canadian Legion Sponsors Sale of Poppies for Remembrance Day BY BOB FLEMING There is so much to tell yourty clerans toy set an exanyple by about this week that I had better start right at the beginning. It is the story of the poppy. 11'l have to go way back to Napoleanic times. Yes, that is where it all began. At that time a thought- ful and observant writter re- marked on the intimate associ- ation the scarlet poppy had with the graves of those who had fa- llen in battle. Again in the Second World War millions had the apportun- itp of observing this phenomen- on in France and Flanders. They saw spring from the earth where their fallen comrades lay, a vast profusion of poppies way- ing defiantly at the terror of warfare and hiding from view the starkness and grimness 01 the beaten earth. Then at the Dominion Com- mand meeting of the Great War Veterans Association in Port Arthur in July 1921, it was de- cided that the poppy be the flo- wer of remembrance, and _ be worn as such an emblem on the Anniversary of Remembrance Day. The first year the pappies di- stributed throughout Canada were those made by women and children in France. But the next year, following the leadership of the British Legion, the pop- pies sold on the streets of our towns and cities were made by disabled veterans who _ under- stood only too well their signi- ficance. Each year the number of pop- pies-worn throughout Canada has steadily increased, until last year, over four million pop- pies*were worn by Canadians. It has also become a source of useful employment for disabled veterans, both in the Vetcraft shops and in the homes of those who are unable to stand the 8 strain of regular employment. I have said that there were over four million poppies sold last year in Canada. This seems a very great number, but, that actually means that there were only one of every three people in Canada wearing a poppy. We of Haileybury Branch want to see that within our district, ev- eryone wears a poppy on Re- membrance Day. At this time I want*to make a final appeal to all citizens. Wear a poppy on Remembrance : Day. I also want to call on all Leing the first to pin ou the me- miorial flower. Show that you remember and honour those who served by your side and gave their lives for Canada. The greatest beliefs and prin- cipals are those for which men die. Therefore, for a few days, proudly wear the badge of rem- embrance, which symbolizes our faith in the ideals for which our fellow Canadians died. It is the duty of all veterans on Kemembrance Day to parade as a veteran body to the ceno- taph to pay tribute to those our fallen comrades. | am asking all veterans, not only the Legion meémbers, to meet at the Legion Hall at 10.30 a.m. on Nov. 11th and parade to the cenotaph. We of the Haileybury bran- ch of the Canadian Legion ex- tend the invitation to one and all to join us at the Kemembra- nce Service, conducted this year by Rey. Wilkinson and will be held at 10.45 a.m. November llth when the wreaths will be laid. Those who haye purchased wreaths) may themselves, or choose one of their family to lay their wreaths at this time. Ii you cannot do this yoursell and wish it done you may have a Legion member do it for you. All interested in placing wrea ths, or having them placed should contact yours truly, chairman of the Poppy Cam- Ayaign. Phone 29 or 270 on or be- fore November Yth. Before closing | want to re- mind you that our poppies will be sold this coming Saturday. So everyone wear a poppy in re- membrance, Also I want to remind you of the Remembrance Day banquet the Ladies Auxilliary is holding. It is a great evening and well worthy of your presence. Besid- es, the food is wonderful and there is! plenty of it. In closing I want to remind you that since the two world wars the world has forgotten the price of blood that has all ready been paid. This Remem- brance Day do your part to help the world Remember. Wear a poppy and attend the ceremony, which I will tell you once again, is being held at the cenotaph on November 11th at 10.45 a.m. Thanks and cheers now.
