ONT ee PE TE I TR I yr - ARTHUR A. COLE Rotarians Plan Peanut Blitz Lorne Charbonneau was the spe- cial speaker at the MHaileybury Rotary Club meeting Monday eve- ning. Taking as his subject "'The Jewelery Business,' Mr. Charbon- neau brought out many interesting facts concerning many aspects of this career, stressing the art of watch-making in particular. He told his listeners that in Switzer- land, watchmaking is a national- ized industry, with skills passed on from father to son. Many of the intricate parts of the watches for which the Swiss are famous, are made in the homes and then assembled in a central shop. He also stated that at one time, the Swiss government would not allow trained watch- makers from . the Thursday, October 29, 1959 Hotel Miniwassi Has New Owner The Hotel Minawassi at Temag- ami has changed hands. It has been sold by Shannon Enterprises that have controlled if for a num- ber of years, to a' new company called Hotel Minawassi 1959 Ltd. President of the new company is Lockie Goddard, son of Frank Goddard, who first came north to New Liskeard in-1904. Mr. Goddard senior moved to Temagami in 1928, where he operates Goddard's hotel, and is noted as an enthus- iastic exhibitor of prize fine hor- ses.

Lockie Goddard was born in New Liskeard, and was educated at the New Liskeard public and ~ high schools.

Cole, well-known in northern min- ing circles. Mr. Cole was in his 88th year. Canon H. A. Sims offi- ciated. Mr. Cole died in Stouffville on Sunday, October 25. He is survived by one son, Eric and a daughter, Mrs. Ogilvie of Stouffville. 1 The veteran mining engineer was born in Montreal in 1871, and received his B.Sc. and M. A. de- grees from McGill University. Dur- ing his undergraduate vacations he served with the Geological Sur- vey of Canada. He also assisted in the first sur- vey of Temagami and completed the survey of a lumber road from Sharpe Lake to Haileybury when the town boasted a few tar-paper shacks. 4 Before silver was discovered at Cobalt, Mr. Cole had completed a survey of the lakes around that area which led him to a point less than a mile from the claims that became one of Cobalt's big- gest producing mines. In 1906 Mr. Cole was appointed mining engineer to the Temiskam- ing and Northern Ontario Railway for which he administered the leases of the railway's mining properties. As mining developed northward his. activities extended into the new territories and was intimately connected with the extension of railway facilities to Porcupine, Kirkland Lake and Noranda. He settled in New Liskeard when _ it was a town of little importance compared to that of other towns around because it had good water and was free from typhoid preval- ent in other centres. From that centre he worked, and there is no other person con- nected with the railway who had more to do with the opening of the north. His O.K. was all that was needed to bring the railway in, and the fortunes that have been taken from the areas gives some indication of soundness of his judgment. Mr. Cole was a modest man, giving credit to many others, but there are men who knew his worth and who say that when the history of the north is written the name of Arthur Cole will loom as large as -gpyster. ; one with his other activities, "ur. Cole had a large place in his heart for the New Liskeard Lib- rary and under his guidance that centre expanded to become one of the best in the north. The Provincial Department of Mines-was represented at the fun- eral by S. J. Mason, Dr. Robert Thompson, District Geologist and Claude O'Shaughnessy of Cobalt. | : /- Was North Cobalt Mr. and Mrs. Albert Larkin, celebrated their golden wedding anniversary on Oct. 11 when they were at home to their family, rel- atives and friends..
