ESTABLISHED 1904 'Haileyburian-Cobalt Post Vol. 55 -- No. 35 Haileybury, Ont., November 5, 1959 Resic Want to F Unless a 12 month lapse dims memories of wanton damage, All Hallow's Eve, 1960 will be a com- paratively quiet evening, accord- ing to angry private citizens, bus- inessmen and peace officers across Canada. es Monday morning papers from all parts of the country told a sorry story of vandalism far re- moved from the laugh-provoking pranks of other years and general opinion is that the line of tolerance has been crossed to too S8aDY a degree. From one town near Sarnia comes a tale of mob violence, at- tacked police and property dam- age by youths and adults: Proper- ty damage will reach into the thousands of dollars. In New Liskeard police were helpless to control the mob of sev- - eral hundreds which milled around the downtown district, one car was rolled over the river bank, and es- eaped plunging into the river when held by trees. ° 'Another truck was over-turned, while another owner saved his ve- hicle with a salt-charged shotgun. Police arresting a rowdy were taunted with cowardice, as they struggled to remove the man from the main street. Straw was burned on the Wabi bridge, endangering the structure, and garbage strewn all over the main streets. When the garbage truck assignment tried to-clean.up the mess, the mob stole the keys and let air out of all the tires. Cobalt and Haileybury had a tra- ditional Hallowe'en, young people soaped a few windows, and made their rounds of homes for the an- nual "Shell-out." Cobalt children did a little constructive work cam- paigning for UNICEF and collec- ted $116 to aid children in distress- ed countries. This is the second year that Silvertown children have held this campaign. Last year they collected $81. While no definite plan has yet been made to control rowdyism on the eve of the October Holy Day, it has been suggested that police appoint deputies who know most of the people in town. These men will not attempt to curb vandalism, but they will be around taking notes, and offenders will receive summonses ithe fol- lowing day, and will appear in court to answer for their offenses. One officer in favor of this me- thod said, "It would be foolish for any officer to attempt physical control of a mob, but if ringlead- ers are brought to court and made pay for the damage they have done, they will decide it is wiser to be neither a leader or follower." ents Up in Arms Curfew Curbs alt Vandalism Magistrate Warns Juvenile Drivers And Their Parents Magistrate E. W. Kenrick issued a stern warning Tuesday for the benefit of district farmers who let their youngsters drive motor ve- hicles. He had before him in juvenile court two boys, aged 13 and 15, who smashed up a car causing damage estimated at $1,000. Police said that the oldest lad took his father's car, then picked up three friends. He then let the 13-year-old boy drive the car, and he rolled it over a Casey township road. No one was injured. The boy's father admitted that he let his'son take the car to drive to church. Magistrate Kenrick fin- ed each lad $5.00 and costs.~ He said that too many farmers are letting young children drive motor vehicles, and in fact, encouraging them to drive cars and trucks around the farm. He warned that the court will take a very serious view of any more youngsters caught driving on the highways without licenses. It. is understood that the police cannot prevent a boy from driving a tractor on his father's farm, but if the same boy drives the ma- chine on a highway, he or his father could be prosecuted.
