In view of this, the New Lis-| keard Chamber has been examin- ing a number of likely sites in| the district. There is not suffi-| cient land within New Liskeard, | but the Chamber is taking the at-| titude that if the hospital is lo-| cated anywhere in the Tri-Towns, | everyone will benefit. The hospital will need at least 50 acres, if possible located in the | vicinity of a lake. The ground has to be suitable for gardening, and there should be some bush close} by. A number of sites have been| suggested, including the shores of Lake Temiskaming between New | Liskeard and Park Royal, - the | lakeshore area between Hailey- bury and North Cobalt, and the Gillies area south of Cobalt. - The Tri-Town Association for Retarded Children recently wrote to A. R. Herbert, MPP for Temis- kaming, requesting that serious consideration be given to a Tri- Town location. Mr. Herbert replied that he will do everything possible to press for Intertown. Spiel The big Inter-Town Bonspiel _ Started last night, male and female sections swung - into action with 58 entries in the men's 'spiel and 38 on the dis- - staff side. Entries have been received . from Englehart, Elk Lake and Haileybury and the month long do looks to be getting off to a good start. - A slight misadyenture al- most stalled the 'spiel before it got off the ground when a fresh flooding of the New Lis- keard ice was seasoned with _ Salt from the water softener. _ | But a couple of fresh floods diluted the application and the _ ice is-now in good. shape. § W. R. Kirk, executive director of the Ontario Association for Re- tarded Children has advised the local association that some con- sideration is being given to en- larging the present Ontario Hos- pital at Smith Falls. However, both Mr. Kirk and W. Thompson of the Timmins association have urged the local association to press for 'the construction of a Northern Ontario Hospital "which will be able to better serve the North as a whole. It is expected that the hospital will employ around 400 persons, and may provide accommodation |for up to 2,000 children.

New High School Plan For Haileybury Studen The Haileybury Board of Edu- | School be erected and that the cation has made a survey of exist- ing school accommodation in rela- tion to future enrollment follow- ing reports from the High and Public Schools Principals that a sharp rise in attendance in both schools may be expected after 1961. Present enrollment is 119 at the high school, of which 40 are from the Township of Bucke. Two hundred and sixty-nine pu- pils are attending the Public School. It is anticipated that the enrollment at the High School will increase to 142 in 1961 and con- tinue to rise to 197 in 1964. There is no reason to believe that there will be a reduction in attendance | at the Public School where tthe in- crease has averaged ten pupils per year for the past ten years. In considering the question of ad- ditional accommodation, the trus- tees consulted with the Secondary and Public Schools Inspectors with the result that it was recommend- ed that a new buliding for the ex- clusive -use* of mS Secondary - Grits at Haileybury. Pick Five Delegates HAILEYBURY -- Delegates to vincial convention were chosen Saturday night at a meeting in The delegates chosen were Fern Désjardins, Cobalt; John Damiani, Elmer Sopha, MPP for the Sud- bury riding was unable to be pre- = im. ig : Mr.-Belanger spoke on the_ex- enditures of the Frost govern- ment, and -what he termed huge winter works programme is vir- tually useless, and: said that the government is using its huge ma- jority to railroad legislature through the provincial house with- out proper time for consideration and debate. He said that stronger organization is the key to future success, ald es the Liberals to build up a stronger.member- ship, particularly through the hold- ing of more social events. Ernie Savard of Sudbury, who is vice-president of the Ontario Young Liberal Association, pre- dicted a 1961 election rather than 1962. He said that the Young Liberals have a big job to do»in backing up the senior organization, and in training future members of the older group. Douglas Hill, "president of the Kirkland Lake _Young Liberals said: that his group would be pleas- ed to assist any local organization in getting formed. J. R. Bolger, president of the Kirkland Lake Liberal Association said that a Young Liberal organiz- ation in this area would have a terrific job ahead of it, and would be invaluable if it organized well before the next election. It was suggested that . Harvey Plaunt and John Damiani be re- sponsible for gathering names of prospective members of a Young Liberal Association, and that these will be gathered by March 25. Elementary School take over the entire existing building. The Department of Education has approved of the proposal at an estimated cost of $165,000 for the new building and grants will be paid on that amount. The pre- sent rate of grant payable to Haileybury High School for capi- tal expenditures is 78 per cent, approximately. Since the province pays the entire cost of educating pupils from 'adjoining townships, approximately 35 per cent of the be paid also. Thus only 15 per cent? of the cost will be payable by the local taxpayers. As. the project must be paid by débentures of 20 years with ah- nual repayments, it is expected that the annual tax levy should not} exceed 1.5 mills, but dependant upon 'the' rate -of interest to -be: paid for the debentures. It is proposed to erect a build- ing of one storey construction with six- classrooms, science labora- tory,» library and administrative areas on tthe. north side of Cecil Street -with -access to: the gym- nasium. The increase. in' oun oss ment will require at least two ad- ditional: .teachers *.in -the High School within the next three years. Due «to 'sizeof Grade 9 next Sep- tember. the trustees have deemed it necessary. to- @ngage -one . of these at. that time, 'Increases -in the staff of the P lic School are inevitable as- attendgnce builds up. Naturally the. cost of operating two buildings: with inckeased - attend- ance 'and "new ° staff: will affect] that'part of the total.costs borne. by the municipality. Provincial grants amounted. t6 40 per cent, approximately. of the .costs of éach school in 1959. 2 It is hoped that the new School) will be ready for 'occupancy by Ist September," 1961. Nothing fur- ther..can be done by the:Board of Education until the. Town Council guarantee that the total amount of money required is available. This municipality is fortunate in having avery small debenture debt of $18,130.00 at present. This is the balance of the gymnasium deben- ture. ' From time to time it is suggest- ed that a District Vocational and Technical. School be built. That is an impracticable suggestion as the (Continued On Page Eight) No Twelve Month Curb For Haileybury Canines HAILEYBURY Haileybury council met on Monday. night-< found no meeting of minds as an attempt was. made. to -reach a decision. regarding control of dogs in the District town. Mayor Arthur Cooke cast his vote We settle the issue. Some weeks age district coun- cils sent representation to a meet- ing at- which the matter of dog eontrol was discussed, and re- commendations for the' considera- tion of councils were made which included the forming of a Tri- town District Dog-Control Associa- tion, pro-rata participation in costs for the hiring. of a district dog control officer and a uniform by- law for all municipalities. Council was in accord with the proposed agreement for the form- ing of an association and sharing of costs, agreeing that lack of applied controls was due to the costs of maintaining an individual pound of. approved calibre and a full. time officer. But council split on. several clauses of the proposed bylaw, with special emphasis on the sec- tion that would require dogs be- ing under control for 12: months of the. year. The arguments pro and con de- veloped heat but no light and when the vote was taken, councillors Jim Timmins, Jim Whelan and Dr. W. C..Anrold voted for the bylaw which would apply controls year. round. Councillors Charles Camsell, Ben Budgeon and Neil Fleming voted against the measire and Mayor Cooke also voted "nay" and killed the proposal... -- A modified bylaw wa's then pre- sented in which the chief change was the reducing of the 12 months control to four months,' from June 1 to September'30. The councillors voted as before, and Mayor Cooke cast the ballot which guaranteed Haileybury* dogs eight months of care free: wandering through the streets of the 'town. Council also- received -a brief from the School Board outlining the need and costs for anew High School, heard a delegation from the west road ask for sewers and sold several parcels' of' town lots, The Canadian National Institute for the Blind. was granted a-$1;500 donation towards the building of a rehabilitation centre in Sudbury, but a request from Jeunesses Musicales a local organization for a $50. donation towards convention expenses was shelved for further information Ken Watson was appointed Weed Inspector and _ councillor Neil Fleming was apointed council representative on the Tri-Town Dog Control Association.
