Mr. Turnbull noted that the characteristics of the glass were Similar to those prevalent in the glass of the medieval period, hav- ing the rough uneven textures of glass cast by hand before rolling methods were introduced, The colours used in staining the win- dow were another indication that the window is very old. "At the time the window was made very little experimentation had been done with imaginative colours,' said Mr. Turnbull "and the craftsmen were limited to pale colours such as the yellow used in this one." "Unlike the stained glass of to- Gay the oxides used to stain the glass were mixed with the glass when it was cast and afterwards the figures were outlined by the burning method, a process which very little is known about today," explained Mr. Turnbull. Mr. Turnbull also stated "'As. far as I know there are only two small fragments of Medieval glass pre- served, and both of these were cast since the. twelfth century. If this window is as old as it seems to be then it is extremely valu- able." It is interesting to note that "'St. Appolonia'"' the symbol portrayed in the work was Canonized for discovering a method of extracting teeth. The Dental Society has nam- ed her as their Patron Saint, and are anxious to obtain the original. The 1000-year-old window, which was handed down to Charles Mor- gan by his father, William S. Mor- gan, a Hamilton Alderman during the latter part of the last century, was brought to this country by the Hamilton Morgan's grandfather, Dr. G. Gwynne Bird in 1935. The history of the window which measures 30 inches high by about 10 inches wide, is as romantic in all its aspects as the old Welsh town from which it was recovered. Over 1000 years ago, a woman, whose real name has long been forgotten, developed a process of extracting teeth. Canonizaffon be- came easy then, and no sooner had she died than the lady was made St. Appolonia. Old Window Nwned by Haileyburyite Where she was born isn't known, but one thing is certain .-. . the Monks of the Monastery had as much appreciation for the benefits of her discovery that about the year 878 when they were building a new chapel close to the Abbey, a window was specially earmarked for this very 'stained glass on which she is depicted.

Thieves entered the store by a boarded-over rear window and made off with merchandise of an estimated value of $1000. No cash was taken. Two high caliber rifles were taken along with an estimated $100 worth of fishing tackle, two mantel radios' and several pocket knives. There was no attempt to break open the safe. Opp Constable Don Stump is investigating the break-in. Timiskaming Bear Skin For all Queen's Men Mayor Bill Barr this week ad- vised Mayor Leo Del Villano of Timmins that this district is ready to help him in his drive to pro- vide Northern Ontario bears to make busbies for the Buckingham Palace Guards. Mayor Del Villano read with interest of the predicamenit of the guards whose towering bearskin hats are showing signs of age, and moulting badly. He also was aghast at the suggestion that nylon might be used for 'the new ben- nies, "We will scout the north for bears," Leo wired the Queen, "and make sure your men have enough bearskins to maintain the British tradition." Mayor Barr was a little con- eerned that his fellow mayor was biting off more than the could chew, and phoned his offer to enlist 'the marksmen of this area. In an "aside" to the Speaker, Liskeard's mayor said, "For the honor of the north I had tto offer help, because I don't think there are enough bears in Leo's territory to outfit a corporal's guard, and everyone knows that the only real: marksmen in the north live around here." "How could anyone expect,' he continued, "that men who spend all their lives underground would know one end of a gun from the other." "This grand land of ours was hewn from the wilderness by hardy woodsmen and_ pioneers who depended on their skill. with Skill and Beauty At Skating Carnival Figure skaters from both Hail- eybury and New Liskeard put their best foot forward last Fri- day and Saturday evenings when the annual carnival; sponsored by .

Meanwhile vegeierian Mayor Arthur Cooke declares that Mayor Del Villano has rocks in his head for sugdesting the wholesale slaughter of bears. "I would rather see the guards go bareheaded in- stead of bearheaded, and -allow the unoffensive animals to enjoy a full life," he said. Councillor Denies Condemning Roof © of Haileybury Club Haileybury -- Scareheads in pap- ers to the contrary, there is little risk that the Cobalt-Haileybury Curling rink will collapse on the heads of members and friends be- cause of an overload of snow. First because the rink committee has regularly cleared off the snow, and secondly, because the committee has had regular inspections made by competent engineers. In an account, of last week's council meeting, a statement credited to Councillor Wilf Bailey, quoted him as saying, '"'the build- ing was constructed with green lumber, and since then the girders have dried out and shrunk, leaving the boltings loose."' Councillor Bailey denies making any such statement. Hubert Doran, secretary of the curling club told the Haileyburian he was concerned over the alarm that might have been spread by the report, which also said that the Haileybury Club had the same roof structure as the Listowel and Englehart rinks, both of which col- 'lapsed under a load of snow. Mr. Doran told the Haileyburian the rink has regularly been inspect- ed by reliable engineers, who have found no faults, and added that after hearing of so many rinks col- lapsing, snow had been cleared from the roof on three different occasions. Also in the hands of the club secretary was a telegram from Hipol Limited, holding the patent for the roof design. The wire stated the company had not built the Lis- towel rink, nor the Englehart Arena, and that there had never been-a failure of the Hipol arch through snowload in the history of the company. "Our rink was built with care, by engineers experienced with snowload stresses," said Mr. Dor- an, '"'and the roof,load is not car- ried by the walls, but by extra buttressed supports. It is also regu- larly inspected, and the expected expansion of joints taken care of by the regular tightening of tie rods." "We think that the roof is com- pletely safe," he said.
