Haileyburian-Cobalt ESTABLISHED 1904 et Post st al. 54 == No, 34 Haileybury, Ont., October 30. 1958 5c GOR L £ SuIN meUy District Mining Men Hear of South America J. W. McBean, president of Heath and Sherwood Drilling Company, Kirkland Lake, was guest speaker at the monthly meet- ing of the Cobalt Branch of CIMM held in Haileybury last week. Mr. McBean gave local mining men and students of the mining school an enthralling picture of mining in South America and the West Indies. Illustrating his lecture with beau- tiful colored slides he took on his 16,000-mile trip, he spoke of a number of towns and mining in- trests in Peru, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Columbia, Pa- nama and Jamaica. He said the uncertainty of gov- ernment power and monetary dis- advantages were main reasons be- hind curtailment of mining devel- opment on a more elaborate scale on the continent. But he spoke of fabulous deposits of copper, gold and iron in these countries. Although considerable operations were now in full swing, still larg- er mining was possible. In El Sal- ' yvador, Chilie, 12 miles from Puerto 'Rios, plans call for the spending ' of $100,000,000 by 1960 in develop- ment of copper. In the arid regions of Chile, where amazingly enough Mr. Mc- Bean caught a good bag of speck- led trout, lack of water was a problem to be coped with. Annual rainfall is about one-tenth of an inch. The speaker portrayed South America as a continent of con- trasts. He showed slides of -hovels _ and of fabously modern buildings. a stone's throw from each other. The city of Buenos Aires, largest in the Spanish-speaking world with some 5,000,000 inhabitants, roman- tic Rio de Janeiro, fast-growing Sao Paulo and the beautiful sea- side resort of Vina del Mar, Chile, were visited by CIMM members. Mr. McBean dwelt at length al- so on the 100-year-old gold mine at Belo Horizonte, Brazil, with tre- mendous deposits of iron nearby. He said that as rich a deposit as was found at the Belo Horizonte Mine, 800 tons a day was all some 4,500 workers produced. The speaker was introduced by O. E. Walli, principal of the PIM who has known Mr. McBean for 13 years. At that time the Kirkland Lake man was government geolo- gist for the Swastika area which covered more territory than it does today. A graduate of Toronto and Queen's, he served as aeronautical engineer in the RCAF during the war years, was associated with the directorate of Upper Canada Mines and is now president of Heath and Sherwood. Thanking the speaker was 5 Cameron, Cobalt. Look at the Label On Haileyburian Subscribers are reminded to look at the label on your paper.

Last week two small girls were struck by a car as they were cros- sing the street from the Holy Cross Separate School. Although they were not seriously hurt, there were no guards at the crossing. Mr. Dunseith, the dirver, said that after a car had passed from the south about ten children ran across the street, he struck two of of them. John Rundle of the local OPP said that he was going to speak to the teachers and the school directors about -- putting guards at the crossing. Lucy Houle and Janette Aloure have learned their lesson about running across the street but, what about the dozens of other children that have not had a scare like that one, and are not yet old enough to think for themselves.

It all started a month ago, een children at Cobalt Public School, Grade 8 saw a picture entitled "Assignment Children" produced by the United Nations and show- ing the work of the UNICF. It made quite an impression on the children, and they decided to help in any way they could. The first venture made has been the forming of a United Na- tions Children's Fund, and the spooks and goblins who will call at your home on Friday evening will not be asking for handouts for themselves, but for a donation of cash for this fund. A little notice has been sent home with the children, saying: "The Hallowe'en Spook who rings your doorbell and wears the em- blem of the United Nations Child- ren's Fund, is an ambassador on a mission of aid to the more than 45,000,000 children who will bene- fit this year from the milk, medi- cines and health services provided by the fund. Even a small donation to_ the fund will buy a lot, for instance, a penny will buy five large glass- es of milk, or enough drugs to pro- tect a child from tuberculosis, five cents will provide drugs to cure the dread "yaws", 25 cents will pro- vide 100 capsules of fish liver oil for rickets, and 50 cents will pro- tect persons for a year against ma- laria, while $1.00 provides drugs for three years to cure a child of leprosy. So-when you see a youngster, with an emblem, as well as a false face, do your part to help them help. "All the World's Children."

Automatic D 4l Phone Soon in Operation Years of study, engineering and planning months of actual work and days of final tuning up all have gone into plans for chang- ing over to automatic dial tele- phone operation in Haileybury and New Liskeard, planned for late November. Making up part of the total investment expansion in telephone facilities for the Haileybury Ex- change is a new single story build- ing on Ferguson Avenue, which contains -dial equipment and the business office. In New Liskeard a spacious and modern two story building has been erected on Wellington Street, the Engineering and Purchasing Departments occupy the top floor. On the main or street floor the dial equipment and Local Long Distance Operators are located, and in the basement a modern Haileybury Ska ing Club Plans for New Season The opening meeting for the seeason 1958-59 of the Haileybury Figure Skating Club was held Friday, October 24, in the Hotel Haileybury . The years work was reviewed and appraised. The Club members are to know that the professional instructor; Miss Pat Thompson, would not be back this year as she was married during the summer. Mr. Grozelle announced that New Liskeard is trying to obtain the services of a professional for the coming season. The accomplishments of the club were pointed out and in particular, the honour that was brought. to the club by the winning of the Northern Ontario Junior Ladies Pair Championship by Barbara Camsell and Lynda_Grozelle. It was felt that they deserved great credit and had done' an excellent job, both in the dance and in the Pair, against keen competition. It was also noted that all the child- ren were proud and delighted about the winning of the champion- ship and that it was a great source of encouragement to them. It is hoped that this year rnany will take advantage of the mar- vellous opportunity offered to the children of Haileybury to receive instruction 'in the art of figure skating, at such a low cost. The election of officers resulted in C. E. Grozelie named as presi- dent, Alex Wilson, vice-president, Mrs. G. P. Thoday, secretary and Mrs. B. Cooper, treasurer. The costume conveners are Mrs. J. Murphy and Mrs. C. Camsell; music conveners, Mrs. J. Watson and Mrs. G. Mattice; membership conveners, Mrs. Alan Hurst and Mrs. Ron Morissette; telephone convener, Mrs. Dalton Dean; ex- ecutive members, Mrs. J. B. Rob- inson, Mrs. L. Umphrey, Mrs. W. Gibson, Mrs. Robert Thomson, Mrs. D. Dean, Mrs. J. Gilkes and Mrs. Ed. Campbell. Haileybury Separate School Board has extended an invi- tation to the public for the opening ceremonies at Holy Cross School, Sunday at 2:30 p-m. i well lighted classroom is situated Here new employees will be in- structed in the fundamentals of the industry and older employees in ever changing methods and equipment. Installers are near completion of their work, and local plant person- nel is engaged in line testing of all numbers involved in the auto- matic dialing system. Numbers in Haileybury have the prefix OS (OSborne) followed by the numeral 2. In New Liskeard the prefix is MI (MIdway) follow- ed by the numeral 7. For business and professional offices, the new telephone system provides rotary ringing. This means that the automatic equip- ment will find the second and third telephone numbers available and ring it if the principal first "num- . ber is busy. This will do away with the use of multiple numbers in calling business establishments that have heretofore 'had more than one telephone number. A completely new telephone book, containing all the new auto- matic dialing numbers has been issued to all subscribers of the Haileybury and New Liskeard Exchanges. The books contain extensive in- formation on ordinary dialing, on emergency ealls and on dialing for long distances, information or oth- er special service. A_W. Wilder is directing a pro- gram of acquainting all teleohone users. ayy giker interested. persons on the, pe of new systems. A mock-up or demonstration set is on display in the business Office in New [Liskeard, equipped with new dial telephones and with cut- away showing operations of the line-finding, selecting, connecting and ringing equipment. Mr. Wild- er extends an invitation to all sub- iscribers to drop into the New Lis- keard Business Office to aquaint themselves with and try out the dial system using the demonstra- tion unit. G. P. Thoday of Haileybury has been appointed to the post of Deputy-Coordinator for this area. This iS the first of several planned . appointments being made to senior posts by coordinator G.L. Cassidy. Rumours of Big Win in Sweep Give Liskeardite False Hope Charlie Hughes, a welder at the Wabi Iron Works was the victim of a crossed up news flash, and 'for a few hours on Wednesday morning believed he was the win- ner of about $30,000 in the Irish Sweepstakes. Charlie drew a horse in the sweep, and there seemed to be some confusion about his name, nis telegram from the Irish Hos- pital said he had drawn Amos, but the list of draw winners given in the dailies listed him with Ag- gressor, the favorite. The Speaker was informed around noon that there seemed to be some cloud on the title and called the Toronto Star for a clari- fication-of-the muddle, and learned that Hughes did not hold a winner. He will have to be content with about $1,400, instead of the antici- pated $28,000. The explanation from .the Star was that a listing of those who had drawn horses in the sweep, started with the favorite ""Aggres- sor' followed by a list of 12 names. --they, and other papers assumed San ee that these were all names of per- sons holding Aggressor, but the fifth name on the list "Amos" was the name of a horse, and those following included Mr. Hughes non-de-plume. The first story caused a wave of excitement at the Wabi Foundry, and in the welding room the pop- ular Charlie was the target for a round of congratulations, it was the sad job of the Speaker to take the bad news to Mr. Hughes to his home nine miles north of town. Talking about his supposed good fortune earlier in the day, Mr. Hughes seemed the least excited of all the workers. He did admit to a _ slightly nervous stomach since last Friday, and said, "'I guess it is something like being an expectant mother."' But he also said that he was making no plans until he actually had the money in his hands. "TI have worked here all my life," he said, "and if this good news is true, I expect I will still work hard, but I will not be under so much pressure."" Some of his friends in the plate shop were the first to suspect that the good news would turn to bad, but didn't like to dull the happy atmosphere until sure. It was they who spoke to the Speaker and urg- ed that confirmation be obtained before the imminent celebrations got out of hand. When the Speaker reporter drove to, the nine mile corner with the bad news, he found that Mr. Hughes took the blow like a man. "T found it hard to believe that I could be so lucky anyway," he said, '"'and I had a stirring of doubt, because the name given me by the daily reporter didn't cor- respond with the one on my tele- gram. So I was really waiting for official confirmation before I let myself go." Mr. Hughes admitted that the smaller award would come in handy. "Not. as good as I hoped, but not bad either,'"' was the way he summed up the whole adven- ture. Sas a
