The Rambling Reporter After three days of being coop- ed up in a Toronto Hotel, it is go- ing to be difficult to fill a column this week. Reports from the pub- Hishers, from coast to coast, were fhat in the smaller centres, out- bide the large metropolitan -areas, eonditions were not as bad as the daily press or the vociferous mem-, bers of parliament might lead one to believe. Sure, all report some unemployment, but more of sea-. s60nal nature, and do not appear to be too alarmed. But that was before last Friday night's head- lines told of the layoff of some 13,000 at Avro. This lay-off will have an effect on the economy of an jarea for thirty miles around Toronto and the harder hit mu-! nicipalities will be Brampton, Georgetuwn and the area north to Newmarket and Bradford. Just what the ultimate outcome will be is something for the future to unfold. It is not likely that a company the size of the one in- volved will just quietly fold up without a struggle. George Baker of Kentville, N.S., has again been elected president of Class "A" Newspaper of Canada 8 group of 63 of the larger week- lies. C. E. Bond at the same meet- ing started his ninth term as Secretary-treasurer. The group re- ported an overall increase in line- @ge last year amounting to about rect contrast to daily newspaper lineage from the 'same _ source which was down over the previous | > year. The trend would seem to in- dicate that larger advertisers are favouring the weekly press. Some idea of the value placed on the dis- trict of Temiskaming might be talx- en from the fact that The Speaker's lineage from this source showed an increase of 28%. A few of our publishers at the' Toronto meeting reported business at almost a standstill. No, it was not economic conditions--it was' snow. Particularly in Western Ontario, in the area north of Lon-| don, the snow fall has been such this year that the towns have not; been able to cope with it, and: floods are anticipated when the! / SHOVELLED My LAST TON No more shovelling in the cellar -- mo more carrying of ashes.

Not only are the town's streets blocked, but the rural roads where much of a town's business comes from are so choked with snow that {t is sel- dom vehicles are able to get through. They all seemed to be amazed to learn that we in the north were able to move around by car, and not frozen stiff. Had kind of an odd proposition put to us one evening, by a Tor- onto reporter. He was wondering why Premier Frost in his attempts to enlighten the members of the Provincial Legislature on the size and importance of Ontario was usually promoting tours of the members of the southern ridings to see the wonders of the North- land, perhaps with the idea in mind he was trying to show his supporters the area from whicn most of the money comes, to not only keep his government going but also the economy of the south. The reporter was wondering why a tour of the southern areas of the province, to show the northern members what they were support- ing should not be arranged. We by CATHY Well, here I am after a long ab- sence, but even though I have been ouf of action, that certainly doesn't mean Haileybury High has. Last Friday night we held our annual winter formal. The name of the dance was 'Stairway to the Stars" and to follow pattern the ceiling of the -gymnasium was hung with silver stars and a big yellow~ moon at one end shone down on the dancers. The band was terrific. Mr. Reinholt certain- time how many of the members from, for argument sake, North Cochrane and the ridings west to the Manitoba boundary have cov- ered the-southern part of the prov- ince out side of Metropolitan Tor- onto. The suggestion has some merit. Not more than two or three automobiles would be all that would be, necessary to take the handfull of members that repre- sent a much greater acreage than the south and in need of further industrial development. This be- ing, to all intents and purposes an election year for Ontario, it might be ia good one in which to make the start. High School Highlights NEELANDS ly holds a place in tthe eyes of all who attended as an excellent band leader. At the end of the evening everyone decided that the dance, arranged by our social head, Sally Whitby, was in everyway superb. |. The basketball season is still in progress. The senior boys have the highest standing for our teams, being second in the CNO SSA league. The senior girls are third in the girls division of the same league and the junior teams range below these two. "In Such a Night." That is the title of this years operetta. This year, our two talented teachers, Miss Keller and Mr. Cassidy have done it again. I have just recently finished 'reading the script and let me tell you it's different. The music is even better than in pre- vious years; the plot is thicker; the cast larger and the costumes much more extensive. The re- hearsing started several weeks ago, almost a month sooner than ever before. The dates of the final performances are April 16 'and 17.
