Haileyburian-Cobalt Post ESTABLISHED 1904 Vol. 55 -- No.' 29 Haileybury, Ont., September 24, 1959 P 5c COPY Mine Union Local Meets on Sunday The receipt of the conciliation re- port on the dispute between the Agnico Mines and United. Steel- workers Union last Wednesday, re- vealed 'that there had been no meeting of minds over the matter of wages. The three-man board split ex- actly three ways in its reeommend- ations. Company representative Alex Harris of Kirkland Lake said he could recommend no increase in wages or fringe benefits because of the company's financial position and the necessity of future ex- penditures to-keep operating. Union nominee, Miller Stewart of Sturgeon Falls wanted a ten cent an hour increase and another stat- utory holiday. Chairman of the board, Judge J. M. Cooper recommended a four cent-an-hour raise, but no increase in fringe benefits. He said that while he fully realized the finan- cial situation of the company, its dependance on future ore discov- eries, he felt that current wages should be tied to conditions as they now are. The board reported that origin- ally nine questions were in dis- pute, but these had been narrowec to the questions of wages and stat- utory holidays. The executive committee met last Friday to assess the report. This will be followed by a general meeting on Sunday. It is hoped that negotiations will soon get under way with the company. The union is presently negotia- ting with two other companies in _the«district.

TB Society Meets At Guild of Arts The possibility of the Ontario Tuberculosis Association exp | d- ing its "services. to include ) =r respiratory diseases was exploved at the annual convention of Ontario Secretaries. of -the organization held at Toronto last week. Present from Temiskaming was Mrs. Jean O'Reilly of New Liskeard. An important part of the con- vention was a panel discussion in which representatives from' other Health Groups . . . the Cancer So- ciety, Society for the Aging, the Heart Foundation, participated. Dr. S. A. Holling, formerly of New Liskeard, and now director of TB Prevention for the Ontario De- partment of Health, was chairman of the panel discussion. Also emphasized at the conven- tion was the need for emphasis to the fact that the need for TB pre- vention is as great as it has been during the last decade. Said the delegates, "The fact that fewer hospital beds are need- ed is being taken by many as an indication that TB has been licked ; . when the actual fact is that there are as many cases. The re- duced need for beds is attributed entirely to the faster cures being made by new drugs and tech- niques."' The convention also pointed out that the cost of. searching out cases has greatly increased, and eternal vigilance is needed to pre- vent' TB from flaring up again. Immunization Dr. E. R. Harris, Medical Officer of Health, Timiskaming Health Unit will conduct Im- munization Clinics as follows: Friday, September 25, 1959 Cobalt Community Hall, 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. Monday, October 5, 1959 The Legion Hall, Haileybury, 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. All parents are invited to at- tend and have their children protected against Polio, Dip- theria, Whooping Cough, Tet- anus (Lockjaw) and Smallpox.

Activities-at Bosch' Honey Farm are at a high pich these days,. when colonies are being selected' and readied: for winter, honey is: being extracted and packed. The season's yield has been sat- isfactory,, Mr. Bosch said, even though the dry period early in August almost brought the honey- flow to a_ standstill. Had the: weather in August been more fav- ourable for honey production, he» said, it could have been a real bumper crop. Production as it is, however, and with the accent on quality rather than on quanity, Mr. Bosch' does not mind the lack of the late= flow so much, The product gather- ed late in the season is often dark- er and not always easy to keep« separate from the bulk of the ex- tra white honey for which: North< ern Ontario has a reputation. 4 Ontario Hydro employees used fide, New Liskeard as a centre for demonstrating fire fighting where electricity is involved, and drew interested volunteer and professional firemen from all across the district.
