At this mieeting, reports will be heard from the various organiza- tions. that ~have--received grants during the past year. These in- clude the Film Council, the Art Club, Junior Ball, Minor, Midget and Bantam Hockey, Broomball League, Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, Figure Skating Club and the High School Students' Curling.

Baden-Powell Sun. This coming Sunday has been set aside by the Scout and Cubs Association as 'Baden- Powell Sunday'? honoring the founder of the international or- ganization which has done so muclr for the young people of the world. s In the Tri-Town district, Scouting officials have decided to mark the day by asking all Cubs and Scouts to wear their uniforms. when they attend Church with their parents. Hockey Last Sunday Haileybury again went down to defeat at the hands of the Cobalt Midgets, 9-2. Al- though they played better than the previous week, they still have trouble scoring goals. On the other hand Grenon in the Haileybury nets stopped 43 shots, 21 of these in the third period. Danny Hunt and Don Sauve scor- ed Haileybury's goals while Robit- aille and R. Morin each scored three goals to lead Cobalt. Monday night it was New Lis- keard that took the measure of . Haileybury 8-0. Once again Hailey- . bury's lack of polish around the Liskeard net proved the deciding factor. The last game of the schedule will be played in Cobalt Friday night. The playoffs start this Sunday -- with New Liskeard at the local arena. So be out to support the boys. t Higher Grants Asked By Mining Higher provincial grants have been requested by the Association of Mining Municipalities of North- ern Ontario. ' : The request came in a brief sub- mitted Wednesday to Municipal Af- fairs Minister Warrender and Mines. Minister Maloney by a dele- gation led by Mayor Leo del Vil- lano of Timmins. The brief asked that the $40,- per-miner grant in lieu of munici- pal taxation on mining property be increased to $50 for municipalities of more than 25,000. - It also asked that smelter work- Centres ers be reinstated in the basis for payments 'to ease hardship in the Sudbury area where nickel instal- lations in company towns are ex=- empt from taxation while their employees live in independent communities and require services. The $10-per-miner increase in © grants. was urged on the grounds that "the portion of the grant tied to the municipal budget had in- creased in the past few years, as municipal expenditures and 'tax revenues increased, but the flat per capita grant per miner has not increased."
