THE HWATLEVYBURIAN THURSDAY, MAR. 15th, 1956 Page Two task THE HAILEYBURIAN Founded by C. C. Parr in 1904 Issued Every | hursday The Broadway from Haileyburian Office Haileybury JOHN HUNT Publisher.

Post Office Department, Ottawa --$2.50 per year $3.50 per year in advance St Ont In Canada in advance In United States EDITORIAL The writer of this column has more opportunities than many citizens for being in odd places at odd times, Part of our busi- ness is being where we are least expected. As a result of the ob servations we have made over che past few years in the Iri- Towns, we feel that itis time for plain speaking on the subject of 'teen-age drinking. We have little use for Ont- ario's liquor laws, being a staunch supporter oi the British pub system, where everyone drinks a little, and tew get drunk. But the fact remains that the amount of teen-age drinking in the Tri-lowns is reaching alarming proportions. It is rampant in every one of the three towns. MHaileybury is no better nor worse than Cobalt or New Liskeard. A visit to the restaurants late at night, or dur- ing dance or many social funct- ions, will prove that too much liquor is being consumed by too many youngsters who cannot handle it. The kids are not getting it from the beverage rooms. They are either buying it . from bhoot- leggers, or are being supplied by adults without sense nor con- scious. What is alarming, is to see a certain element of our adult population, in the company of 'teenage boys and girls who are obviously under the influe- nce. The drinking is not confined to youngsters from any one in- come group. The moneyed as well as the less fortunate seem to be just as prone, A major part of the attraction for teenagers in consuming liq- uor, seems to be that it is for- bidden. One solution might be to lower the legal age to 18 or 19, which would at least remove some of the glamour from drinking, In any event, if the province can crack down on_ reckless motorists with the sucess it has in the past few months, there is no reason why it should not enforce the liquor laws with equal efictiveness, COMMENTS Compared with Cobalt or New Liskeard, Haileybury must have had twice the snowfall during the last storm. At least, the con- dition of our streets after the storm compared with those in neighboring towns might lead one to suspect this. Premier Frost has from Ottawa, told to be a good boy and not ask for more. Per- haps he should go to Wawa, and consult those leading the move- ment for Northern Ontario to secede If Ontario were to secede from the Confederation, the rest of the country would eo broke within a year. returned If Mrs. Shipley is to he allow- ed radio time for a report from Ottawa, why shouldn't the local Conservative and CCF groups be allowed time for their own reports from Temiskaming.

Harry Groom Sounds Off On Gold Editor's Note: As usual, we disagree with most of Mr. GrOom's lengthy discourse, but we print it in the interest of fair play and general entertainment, To The Editor The Haileyburian Dear Sir. There should be some method devised to box up the gab of those "Bay Street Geese" and office seeking politicians who insist that our gold reserve is the bulwork of our country, and that if it should ~collapse, we would come down with a sud- den plunk. which would smash every. wheel of Commerce, leav- ing the shovel of the labouror suspended in mid air. "Like the Coffin of Mohammed." Every little while, someone ascends a stage to remind the to cling to the gold of Solomen and now, it appears that Mines Minister Kelly has suddenly discovered peaple of the necessity that the time is ripe to revive this foolish myth He suggests that we go back into the prehistoric' past some Cumbersome mining gold 6000 years, to the Metallic system of into "Cart wheels"!

Gold has been used to create panics which in turn have closed factories brought on depression. Bankrupted merchants particip ated in head-riots that have ended in blood-simply to main- tain the system of pawn-broker age. I believe it was Ingersoll who once stated that gold and faith, built the Cathedrals to gods. Huts for peasants weaved the vobes for hyprocray, and the rags for honest men If all the gold mined and minted since the beginning of time, were dropped fathoms de@p in the 'sea, our currency would continue to enjoy the same respect as it dose at pre- sent.

What ever enables us to effect exchange, is for all practical pur- poses, as good as gold, If we ex- change our paper for gold coins have we not got another order for goods which we must pre- sent for redemption when we ex- sues a MURRAY McKINNON Your MUTUAL LIFE Representative 72 Nickel -- Cobalt Dial 4519 DAVE'S RADIO & TELEVISION Ferguson Ave. below the Post Office Phone 340 change our dollar for soap or potatoes, Has it not been re- deemed?
