Friday was the 13th, but our hard luck started early Thursday morning. A break Gown of the press started what Jooked like a good day off with a real "bang". We used up part of our emergency supply of parts, and then had to phone Chicago for the broken piece, in ie meantime, Gord Males, the pressman started in on a piece of birch with a plane for a makeshift part -- and it worked. We were mobile again by about 2 p.m. The Haileyburian suf- fered, and it was late in the even- ing before it was off the press and in the stores, Then just as we over- came one hurdle, a linotype gasped and groaned and quit -- another broken part, but this time we could raid a machine that was not in use at the moment until parts could be shipped in from Toronto. After getting through Thursday, Friday the 13th held no terrors in spite of a forecast of snowstorm. Life couldn't be any more hectic. AGAIN POLICE in the northern areas are faced with an outbreak of break-ins. During the past sev- eral months almost every town in the area has experienced a spas- modic epidemic of burglary. Sometimes the illegal haul has been such as to perhaps seem to make it worthwhile for the thieves, while at other times the loot has been exceptionally small. Damage to: property and inconvenience to the victims is probably the more costly. The hit and miss raids, and the frequency in which they occur do not seem to»set up a pattern that would lead police to guess where the next move will be. At one time a gang or group made their headquarters in the Twin Cities of Rouyn-Noranda, but then that group was broken up a year ago with prison terms--but per- haps there were some who escap- ed the clutches of the law and have lived to strike again. On the other hand it could be that a new gang, seeking easier living has come into being. In addition to Woods Hard- ware at New Liskeard, visited last week-end, thieves also struck as far south as Sturgeon Falls, if they are the same, they are ranging Over a considerable territory. Residents:of the north can help the police in breaking up or cap- turing the thieves, by reporting all suspicious movements during the night as they are noticed. It is not necessary to be a Dick Tracy nor is it advisable to carry out a private investigation first, rather it is preferable to call the police and let them get on the job quicker, The sooner the thieves are Caught it will be better all round. ANOTHER DAY for the Irish has come and gone, without fuss or flourish. True green sprigs or leaves of shamrock appeared on lapels to indicate that the wearer was kind of remembering the land of his forefathers or perhaps wish- ing that he was out of the land of frost and snow and back in the country which is supposed to be always green. And while we are waiting for spring to come along, and the Irishmen are tucking away their emblems for another year, fishermen are starting to get ready for the opening of the season. Re- ports are that at least two groups of ice fishermen spent a longer than usual time on the ice over the week-end. The storm is reported to have marooned one party on Lake Animanipissing when the plane couldn't get back in for them, while another \party was re- 'ported storm bound on Lake Tre- thewey, when their plane couldn't take off from the lake. The fish- ermen should have been able to keep warm as there were camps on each lake where shelter would be available. Centuries Old (Continued from page one) instrument in the other, St. Appol- onia. still shines in all her bril- liance across the centuries in blue, black and several shades of yel- lowish-green. She resisted the ele- ments for 800 years at the Abbey. Around about the middle of the 17th century the window, with others, was coated by the monks with some sort of white substance to save it from the lances of Crom- well's invading army which dis- turbed the quiet peace of the Welsh valley. Though-'the monks themselves suffered, the window, '"'looking like a very ordinary window,' was spared the ravages of war. Time went on and the white coat clung to the window. The monastery was turned into a school and the Church of Abergavenny became a Pro- testant Church. Grandfather Mor- gan's mother, in fact, attended this very school. Shortly after the turn of the 19th century, Dr. Bird, a lover of anti- quities, purchased the window from a contractor who was given the job of refitting the old church. It was Dr. Bird, who quite by-~ chance, discovered the priceless stained Saint beneath the camouflage and took it to the Roman Catholic Bishop of the Welsh district: for identification. Turning over the pages of the Monastery's books, the Bishop uncovered the legend of the dental Saint. With much opposition from the Vicar, Dr. Bird brought the win- dow in bits to Canada and had it assembled in Montreal. He handed it down to Dr. Charles Bird, his son, at Bowmanville, who was an uncle of William Morgan. The present owner is, of course, delighted at his fortune in acquir- ing the family heirloom, but he is at a loss as to its value, and plans to have it appraised soon by the experts of the Royal Ontario Mus- eum. Not that he intends parting with it. His father, now ailing in the Soo, made it quite clear that the Morgan family is going to hold on to it and pass it down from gen- eration to generation. It wasn't hard for a fashionable man to trip over his own feet dur- ing the Middle Ages. One kind of a shoe had a pointed toe so long that a chain had to be used to hold it up so the wearer could walk. Cruelty to Bush Horses Curbed by District 0.P.P. Bush operators using horses for woods operations may read a warning into action taken in Hail- eybury court last week to stamp out cruelty in 'the North. Rene Champoux of Rigney, Que- bec, owner and driver of a truck transporting six horses appeared in court and was found guilty of negligence in transporting the an- Deserter In 1908 Cleared At Age 73 A 73-year-old Toronto man has been cleared of a charge of desert- ing from an English army unit in 1908, 'three months before his time would thave been served. "It was the wandering spirit that got me,"' said William Thorn- loe of Dagmar Ave., who served six years with the Canadian Army in the Second World War. Mr. Thornloe was issued a pro- tection certificate dated January 23, 1959, by the British War Of- fice, stating he was no longer wanted as a deserter. It was is- sued after he wrote to his old regi- ment, the Sherwood Foresters, asking for a discharge. + "A bunch of us were all talk- ing about going to Australia and I just picked up and left," said Mr. Thornloe. He said he only had three months to serve and thought it would not cause any trouble if he left. He joined the regiment in 1902 at 16 after falsi- fying his.age and recalled that he won aall the prizes as a crack shot. Mr. Thornloe's dream of Aus- tralia ended in Vancouver where he ran out of money. He worked his way back to Toronto where along with two other men, he set off to prospect in Northern On- tario. "We made two or 'three small strikes, but nothing important," he recalled. Since then, most of 'his time has been spent in ithe north where the worked ias a miner in various towns and raised seven children. He said he was set to join the army during the First World War in 1916 but his house burned down on Christmas Eve and he stayed home to provide for his family. With the outbreak of the Sec- ond World War, however he en- listed in the Canadian Army. "This time I moved my age down a little bit," he said, he served as a shoemaker with various un- its until his dischange in 1947. He said it was not until he was in England with the army and visiting with his family in Bir- mingham that he began tto realize he should have a proper discharge from his old regiment. His mother then told him that shortly after he left the country: "The redcoats came looking for you." But it was not until he read about the retirement of Field Mar- shal_ Viscount Montgomery after 50 year's service last year that he finally decided to do something about it. "I figured I had been in the old regiment 50 years too, and that it was time I got things straightened up," he said. 8:15 Department of Education CONCERT Haileybury Schools' Auditorium _ WED., MARCH 25! - PAUL THIMAN, pianist SELMA BIALUSKI, soprano MANEFRED STIER, tenor | ADULTS 75c -i- p.m, CHILDREN 25c Ty imals and was fined $200 and costs. Constable Roy Feeley, who made the arrest, told the court that only two of the horses were covered for the long, cold trip and the other four were suffering from the intense cold. The truck being used to carry the horses had 'a 14 foot box, which allowed only two feet for each horse. Dr. F. C. Nelson, district veter- inarian, testified that there was room for only three horses, and said that they should have been Both horses were severely in-= jured, one so badly that it wag shot.
