In Canada----$2,50 per year, In United States--$3.50 per year in advance in advance Not only the town of Engle- hart, but all of Northern Ont- ario suffered a very real loss with the untimely death of Ennie Woollings, The first child born in Engle- hart, named after the famous Jake Englehart, Ennie person- ified all the qualties that have become synonimous with the North and Northerners. He was a keen conservationist, and the backbone of the Engle- hart Fish and Game Association. The Annual Englehart Sports- men's show will be but another lasting tribute to his memory. And in every facet of municipal affairs, Englehart's | Woollings took the keenest interest and a most active part. Ennie was a victim of his own unflagging interest in public af- fairs. When his doctors told him to rest, Ennie would turn out for another meeting. When his friends and family urged him to take it easy, Ennie would chuck- le, go hunting, phone a friend, and start another project rolling for the benefit of his town and heloved North country. Personally he was renowned for his impulsive and unselfish gene- Pick-Up Phone and 460 Delivery WE. SELL THE BEST SERVICE THE REST TRI-TOWN T.V. & RADIO 19 Armstrong St. Phone 460.

Englehart has lost a fine cit- izen, and all Northern Ontario is the poorer. J.H. THE- LETTER BOX Cobalt, Ontario. February 13, 1958 The Haileyburian, Dear Editor :--- I have just finished reading your editorial, in which you put forth your opinion, that the genera] public do not look be- neath the glaring headlines and do not read between the lines. Such an opinionaled editorial as this prompts me to take up the pen in self defence as a member of that great group "the genera] public." Regardless of the readers mind, slight or deeply. searching it readily becomes obvious that your editorial policy from now unti] March 31st will be 100% dedication to the promotion of the conservative candidate and the aims of the conservative party. I would like to point out to you, that we the general public, will not accept your party or your candidates, no matter how often you try to present him to us through your pages. And also through years of reading between the lines, we the general public refuse to be- lieve that a political candidate makes non-political speeches during an election campaign, as you have naively suggested in your editorial. We the general public chose Arnold Peters last June 10th to represent us at Ottawa, because of his many abilities and talents and because he is a member of the CCF. party, which has consistently proven it is the only party to be concerned with us. Perhaps you will continue the attempt to promote your choice, but we shall also continue to elect our candidate who is Arn- old Peters of the C.C.F. party. I would appeciaté it if could once again find your editorial column opinions of the depth of be it. ever so space in Reg Doan Cobalt, Ontario. you for the VICTORIAN ORDER OF NURSES Cobalt and Coleman Branch Admission $1.50 per couple Annual Party HAILEYBURY ARMOURIES WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26th DANCING COMMENCES AT 9:00 p.m. REFRESHMENTS Everyone Welcome CANADA COOKING SCHOOL PACKERS Sponsored by THE HAILEYBURY I.

Wednesdays, While Liberals billed: and cooed, Hi.H. sat in the cornez, miutter- ing impprecations and grinding Feeling like wilderness, Ole his teeth. One thing noticeable, it. was the first Liberal convention in curs with parking space within a block or two. Six months ago we had to walk hali a mile. According to our. estimate, about 275 rather depressed Jook- ing Grits packed the hall. Ac- cording to Dalton Dean, who offered to write the story, more than 1,000 enthusiasts -- flocked from al] parts of the riding. Bill Thuerck said he counted 375. presumably all dries. On the platform J. Burns presided like a~ gentle ~Father Christmas out of uniform, Dal- ton Dean and Clarence Tuer re- presented the -- party brains, while R. A.» H.-. Taylor. repre- sented the money. Charles Byam put in a word for the old timers. Funniest things'to- see. were the shocked' expressions when Cobalt's Don McGugan was nominated from the floor. Good joh he withdrew as. it seemed that the party brass were so sure of Ted Miron getting the nomination. that they hadn't bothered to prepare any ballots. Then the even more _ shocked expressions when McGugan rap- ped the brass for the way they took it for granted that their choice was the people's choice. Ann Shipley let it be known that Lester Pearson is the fin- est man she has. ever known. Six months ago we remember hearing her say the same thing about Mr. St. Laurent. When it was all-over-old H.-H. went and had a couple with some loyal Grits, then was chas- ed out of town by. the OPP who said he was, trying to start a riot by proposing toasts to George Drew. Also. had the, pleasure of meeting Mrs. Miron, who seems to be a very charming lady. Se -broke the ice, a more has three daughters, al] of whom married men in the RCAF. De- spite his unfortunate ..politics, Ted Miron seemed to have-a nice 'personality, and may. prove to be an effective vote getter. Also heard rumors that the Liberals might put up McGugan to run in-the provincia] field, It seems that they are looking for a candidate and would just as soon sacrifice one of the party rebels, in the hope that if he orthodox Grit might do better in years to come. RK 'Flu and too much politics forced old H.H. to drop his col- umn last week. Some of our readers are no doubt sorry to hear he recovered. REE We read recently that out in Whitehorse, the editor of the paper has put up a $500 reward for any reader who can prove unpleasant rumors about politi- cal candidates, If Alan Hurst will put up the money, we might try the idea here: sk RIO \ During the recent 'spiel, it is said that the night clerk at the hotel heard a-.commotion. He found two. enthusiastic curlers playing in a hallway with two buckets and mops. When he ask- ed them to-desist, they comp- lained that the rocks weren't matched.

Wilf Gibson should be--congratulated.. for the ssub- stantial improvements he has made to his store.' es In a survey conducted by.the Chamber of Commerce, three grocers voted to close at six o'clock Fridays, and three voted to stay open, Now the council has to decide whether it will a- mend the bylaw. In the mean- time Cobalt C of C. is planning a wide survey to find out just the customers do want from Co- balt merchants. ( North Cobalt, Ont. February 18th. 1958, The Editor, The Haileyburian, Sir --- The Liberal and Tory leaders have just completed a_ divided skirt-dance for the amusement of the gallery gods, and are now, travelling in state across the country, exericising their jaw- bones for the benefit of the low ly labourer. As entertainment, it will be rather dull and boring, since it will he a,, repetition of syhat we went through ten mon- ths ago. _However, if they suc- ceed-in sickening the Canadian people of partisan politics, they will have served a, good purpose. The problem that is pressing upon up; with. every. increasing power, is how to secure a more equitable distribution of wealth The introduction .of, automation, with the resulting decline in the labour force, and the concent- ration of capital, all serve to accentuate the division between those who have, and those who whether our progress is a_ blessing, or a curse. 'Progress' under capitalism = consists of, three phases; Pros- perity, Panic and Liquidation. Prosperity, is the period when the lunch-pail is full, and the hopes of al] are high. When the little fellow leaves the bench, horrows-some-capital, buys some who have not.- tools and machines and goes into business for himself. Panic is the period when the little fel- low has the tools and machines shaken from his hands, and he starts back to the bench. Liqui- dation is the period when the Big Fellow picks up everything! laying around loose, puts it in his (pocket and goes away, richer than he was before. For fifty years Northern Ont- ario has been fleeced by native and foreign Shylocks whe care nothing for the advancement of our country. Instead of - using the wealth for the expansion of industry, we are left with rust ing mine headframes; polluted rivers; timber-stripped hills; a robber-rate railroad; excessive hylro rates. inadequate tele- phone service. poor, and in many cases NO water and sewerage facilities; an army of unemploy- ed, and a bypass skirting the works. Only through a Socialist plan- ned economy can this appalling situation be rectified, When the Governments of our country, and the Captains of Industry turn their attention to the dis- tribution and production of our natural resources for the well- being of each and every indiy- idual throughout our land, in- stead of piling up colossal pro- fits for the few, then and then only, will our economic plight be solved.
