EAE EE ZELDA LET ALLELE ELLIE EEO EOL ITD PIA POLE! WHAT GOES ON AT THE JAIL ? During the past several months, the editor of this paper has received a steady stream of complaints from men who have been hired and fired or quit the local jail in disgust. We have refrained from doing anything about it, taking the view that it was a temporary condition Now we learn that four local citizens, all with years of service to the province, and with homes in the town, are being transferred from Haileybury. It seems remarkable that for years the jail was run 80 quietly and efficiently, that it was a matter of some local gossip and surprise when a guard quit or washired Now the jail seems to have three staffs, one coming,one hired, and one going. The jail has had four governors in five years Two either quit or was fired, one left for health reasons. May we ask just what kind of an organization is running the local jail. What chance is there of reform- ing prisoners, when they are incarcerated in an estab- lishment staffed for the most part with temporary help that may be fired at-any minute. / Apain, it seems rémarkable that the department of reform institutions never offered the public any expla; nation tor the escape of a dozen prisoners some two i weeks ago from a bus. } ~~" %t seems that the department not only cannot keep its help, but it can't even transfer prisoners without lett - 'ng them run wild in the bush. Just how much did itcost the public treasury to recapture these prisoners. And just how much did it cost countless people living in is - olated sections in worry and fear that weir homes might be invaded by the fugitives. And, we might ask , what kind of a mentality is it that ships a dozen men in @ bus without police escort or without properly armed guards. We would suggest that next time a grand jury tours ithe: jail,it ignores the shining bars and polished floors , and instead asks some searching questions concerning the entire administrative and employment policies of our local jail. added C TLL Ih thipifiipirir. . } "Hey, What's this?" asks Mrs. Jersey Cow as she cautiously investi- "gates the kitten that came into the barn to play. The reaction to the first Conservative budget in 23 years was varied and rese- rved. This is Canada's lar gest budget - a bud¢cet in which the Canadian people will spend 5.3 billion doll- ars. It recommended fina- neing for a $048 million de- ficit for the current year. There were no tax increases: of any significance and very few tax reductions for you and me. One of the highlights of the budget was the announcem- ent that the Government wo- uld increase by 25% the Go- vernment's emergency gold mining assistance for mar- ginal producers. This will bring the subsidy for the cu- rrent year to approximately twelve million dollars or t- wo and a half million dollars higher than in 1957. During the two recent fede- ral elections a great ado was made by the Conservatives and the Liberals regarding the election of aC.C.F. me- mber in Timiskaming and in OTTAWA REPORT By ARNOLD PETERS, M. P. I shall continue to pre- ss for this higher price for cold providing that the major portion of the increase be eiven to the miners and the mining communities-a con- _ dition which I am sure is shared by Mr. Fleming, our present Minister of Finance. The gold mining com- panies will find it difficult indeed to seek a renewal of the Emergency Gold Mining Assistance Act if they do not pass on to the miners and the communities a fair and reasonable portion of this increased assistance. There has been inthis. budget no reduction in the personal and corporation income taxes. Major changes in the personal exemptions in the personal exemptions was the deductibility of the cost of prescription medici- - nes, eye glasses, artificial eyes, diagnosis and ambu- lances, effective immedia- tely. This budget did not contain any relief in the per- HYPOCRITICAL HYMN- SINGING We sing "Sweet Hour of Prayer" and content our- selves with ten or fifteen minutes a day.

'I am quite sure that this in- crease in the E.G.M.A. has been the result of our con- tinued work in conjunction with those organizations 'that have shown great lead- ership and initiative. I think it is only fair to point out that this is no solution to the problems that face the gold mining in- dustry and their communi- ties. We are still faced with the problem that this Actis considered to be of emercen- cy nature and is only renew- ed for a two year period.
