She showed us a book which she and her husband use to illustrate to the people. A black page for sin, a red page for the blood of Christ shed for us, a white page showing our sins made white as snow, a gold page for Heaven and a green page to show the growth of life through Christ. This was a real glimpse into the life and work of both peoples. Report of the nominating com- mittee was received and the 1959 officers were installed by Rev. Norman Young. ~ Mrs. Stanley Maddock extended an invitation to hold the 1960 meet- ing in New Liskeard. Rev. Young pronounced the ben- ediction, closing the sessions for another year.

Aa advance panty is already in the site area, about 20 miles south- ea>* of Cobalt, and a base camp is being set up at the nearby Mata- bitchuan Generating Station. The 15-member team will remain in the area during the summer. A prelim- inary survey of Lower Notch was completed last year. Ontario Hydro engineers esti- mate the site has a potential ca- pacity of 25,000 kilowatts. Exten- sive investigations must be com- pleted, however, before the feasi- bility of constructing a generat- ing station at) Lower Notch can be determined. The investigations are part of Ontario Hydro's long range pro- gram to develop the province's re- maining water resources. Similar surveys and investigations are now going on at a number of sites in Thursday, June 4, 1959 Spring Recital The American bride sweeps down the aisle with all the self- satisfaction of a modern Diana re- turning from the hunt with a stag slung over her shoulder. But this spring ritual wasn't al- ways the victory celebration of the female. And everything about the wedding -- including the word it- self -- is designed to remind her that she once was, at best, a mar- ketable commodity -- and at worst, fair game for any strong- armed marauder. The best man, for example, is Northern Ontario, which has un- developed water resources esti- mated at approximately 1,200,000 kilowatts. The Haileyburian Page 3 believed to be a relic of the days when a man simply carried off a girl who had wandered too far from home. The husband-to-be us- ually brought~along a muscular friend to fight off pursuers. : The bridegroom had to hide out for a while until the girl's family got tired of searching for them. This was the beginning of the honeymoon. Of course, these tactics didn't foster togetherness -- and may have started the continuing battle between a husband and his mother- in-law. The practice of buying a wife left a girl with fewer bruises. But it didn't do much more for her pride, especially when some Af- rican tribes thought she was worth about one ox.
