: Metco Highlites PE SEE TS TITS Thursday, August 13, 1959 By RUSS FLEMING ' 'The above picture of the fatigued Jooking Haileyburian reporter with his thumb in the dam calls to mind the story of the little dutch boy who saved the Netherlands with a per- sistent finger, but such is not so jm the case of the Constance Lake Gam. The fatigued look is a re- sult of the long climb through the pre-cambrian wilderness, four yoiles west of Haileybury which is the only entrance to the Hailey- bury's Shangri-la, better known to Yost as Constance Lake. After making the arduous jour- wey into the Never-Never Land and back we began to wonder just how such a pile of cracked concrete was ever transported in, or how ¢he existence of the lake was ever giscovered. The lake site formerly used by Yaileybury for maintaining the water pressure in the town is 175 feet above the level of the highest part of the town of Haileybury, but has not been used for the past several months. Since the four miles of cast iron piping and the cement dams were installed (a project which today would cost well over the astronomical figure of a quarter million dollars) the water ia the lake has retreaded so far that now the dams are located in the middle of an open field 400 yards from the nearest water. The Jake has reduced to a foul smel- ling swamp, 'Haileybury town council is now considering building a reservoir directly in front of the old dam to ¥eplace the lake as a source of water pressure, this way the town will be able to utilize the pipe al- ready there. : An interesting part of the his- tory of this project is that sever- al years before Haileybury con- eeived the idea of using the lake for their water pressure system, Worth Cobalt officials approached the Sutcliffe Company in New Lis- keard and asked them what the, possibilities were of employing it for their uses. Homer Sutcliffe at that time recommended they aban- don this scheme as useless since ¢{liere was no source of water to féed the lake and it depended en- titely upon the rain fall. 'Rumour has it that the adminis- friators -of Bucke Township are 'waiting for Haileybury to install their water pressure reservoir on this location. Apparently as far as tHeir records show the town of Hailéybury -have never purchased Tight of way for this property. Hail- eybury recently turned down an very attractive application by the township for fire protection, forc- ing them to go ahead and purchase a truck and build a fire hall of their own, and it may be that Bucke councillors are saving a "Sunday Punch" for the time when the work is far enough advanced to embarrass their northern neigh- bors. Best information availabie of the reason for the retreat of the Con- stance Lake level is that several years ago there was extensive dia- mond drilling done in.this part and that one or several of these drill holes opened up a ficher in the rock allowing the water to escape. Pee Wee baseball has gotten un- derway in Haileybury with a big bang, with practices and games being held three times per week at the Mining School in Haileybury. The four teams are sponsored by several public minded groups and individuals. These people and the instructors which give the boys a hand are doing a fine job. Ideal Dairy is putting up a tro- phy to give the four teams some- thing to shoot at when the play- offs start. One of the instructors said that there is no more ambition in the big leagues, these boys are real sportsmen, and so keen that they refuse to play with anything but standard "big league" equipment, including the 40 oz. bat. Barry, Ont., council are circula- ting a petition to councils through- out Ontario asking that all ve- hicles over four tons should be re- quired to have two separate ways of applying the brakes, in addition to the hand brakes. This petition is a result of a recent accident when a school bus drove out of control down.-a steep incline into the lake. An amusing aspect of this came out when it was disclussed at coun- ceil last week. Councillor Wheelan exclaimed to Mayor Cooke, "Tf that goes through as law it will really ground your. 'mechanic's night mare' you call a fire truck, it has only-two wheel mechanical brakes."' Mayor Cooke replied, "'Let's cir- culate another petition, I'm for two wheel mechanical brakes." Rob Graves HAILEYBURY -- Two years ago Mount Pleasant Cemeiery here was the hunting ground for vandals who left beer bot- tles lying around and pushed over tombstones. Caretaker Hillard Cooke now reports that flowers and flower- ing plants are being taken from the graves. - "I expect that most of these ended up in homes," he re- marked, "and I would like to point out to those responsible that there is a heavy pental- ty for this mean type of theft." a 6 I le +a holiday with her parents, Haileybury Personals Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Maclver and children left for their home in Montreal on Monday after spending a week's holiday with Mrs. Mac- Iver's father, Mr. I.
