That's the advice of police and fire department representatives who have taken time out to visit schools to promote safe play habits. Children can pick up a handful of trouble at building project sites. Take blasting caps for instance, Blasting caps dre essential tools in much construction work but when mis- handled by children, who could mistake them for firecrackers or empty rifle cartridges, these innocent-looking cylinders can cause serious injuries. Officials advise children to stay away from places where _ building is going on -- an organized playground has much safer fun to offer. However, if a stray blasting cap should be found, children are told to keep "hands off". There are two main types of blasting caps: non-electric for use with safety fuse, and those set off electrically. The type for use with safety fuse is about 12 inches long and about the thickness of a pencil. It has one open €nd and is made of aluminum. Electric blasting cap shells are made of either copper or aluminum and may vary from one to five inches in length. They have two colored wires attached. Open flame, shock, friction, undue heat-or rough handling can cause detonation of these caps. The police or some other authority who can dispose of the blasting cap safely should be notified immediately one is found. -- PEN PICTURES Hoagy Heads Hot-stove League By Russ Fleming ~ Ig several is a hot Stove league that meets regularly In every town there business. For years Hoagy's. interests wandered back at some appointed centre to dis- cuss the current events of both municipal and international af- fairs. In the past time the league usually met somewhere they could easily congregate by transporting themselves by foot, but, now. it seems that the automobile is the mode of travel and dominates the Selection of meeting places. In Haileybury the hot stove lea- gue meets in the chamber of Hoa- gy Carmicheal's garage, and since this is the case Hoagy has become not only a well-known character of the town but also a non-ending source of any information one wishes to obtain. Hoagy is originally a North Bay boy, born and educated in the Bay. This is where he first became ac- quainted with the service station and forth between the service sta- tion and the wheeling of the big tractor-trailor trucks until the war when he decided that in 1936 the Airforce .was the up and coming thing and he enlisted. Enlisting in the wireless corp he soon worked his way up to a navigator and then went into pilot training. In 1952 he was made an attrac- tive offer with the Shell Company in Haileybury by P. M. Fleming Ltd., and decided that was the line of business that most attracted him. Since then Hoagy has made Haileybury his home, he now runs the B. P. gas station on the site of his original stand, interested in business he has attended many conferences to assure his custom- ers up to date service. Rice - Bosch Nelly Alida Bosch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Klaas Bosch of Haileybury became. the bride of Robert Jamieson Rice, son of Mr. and Mrs. Foster C. Rice, on Sat urday, April 25, in St. Andrew's United Church in Haileybury at 3:30 p.m. The wedding was consecrated by Rev. J. W. W. Wilkinson of Hail- eybury, with Rev. B. Besley as- sisting. Mrs. Herity was organist and Miss Dayntrie MacDougal, soloist, sang the anthem. The church was decorated with mums. Given in marriage by her fath- er, Klaas. Bosch, the bride wore a floor length, white satin gown, featuring long sleeves and lace over skirt except for satin panel in the front. She carried a bouquet of Orange Delight roses. Barbara Keech was maid of honor. She wore a blue crystale dress and carried a bouquet of pink roses. The groom was attended by his brother William Rice. The ushers ---- He has always liked the work that he has done in the airforce, which shows in his choice ofa hobby, the ground observer corp. Avid in business he has some straight-forward opinions on the workings of municipal affairs. Has definite ideas about the new Mon- day closing law. As a service sta- tion operator he says it will be the biggest boon to his line of business that there could be, but that if the closing law is going to go into effect he disapproves of Liskeard being the hindmost to accept it. "What is fair for Cobalt and Hail- eybury, must also be fair for New Liskeard, there must be a bylaw passed in each of the three towns or it just won't work,' says Hoagy. But as a citizen he thinks the law will be a detriment. "'I don't think I am capable of carry- ing three day's groceries home in one trip."' He also is in agreement with the present municipal government in Haileybury that, '""Haileybury must expand or else". It is no. longer feasible and especially now that the Tri-Town By-pass is through -- "if we don't smarten up: we will find ourselves with a ghost-town on our hands". Hoagy is a bachelor and claims that he-intends to stay that way, "+claiming that the bachelor way is the happy. way. "We Serve the North" P. O.
