Page 6 The Haileyburian Thursday, March 24, 1960 Across the kitchen Table By MRS. MAC The Pioneer by Robert Kingston He was a pioneer, they say: He hélped to open up a way of life - felled trees and dug the soil, Fashioned a home with sweat and toil. His years would number ninety- odd, You speak to him and he will nod But he can't plan with you -- you see, He isn't sure just where he'll be. Sometimes he visits with the dead; They're quite alive within his head. With them he ploughs and sheaves the grain, at Haileybury enroute to the ski hills; Kirkland Lake in 1930; an church at Bear Island; the famous Cobalt Square before World War 11; the dedication of the Dr. Drum- mond Memorial Cairn and Moose Factory in 1935. In the same issue of '"'The Quart- erly'? mention is made of "Dad" L. H. Hanlan, the Agricultural Representative at Matheson, who recently retired after 48 years as guide, counsellor and friend to the northern farmers. When, almost fifteen years ago, I started, with trembling knees, reporting the meetings and demonstrations of the farmers and junior farmers in the New Liskeard area the unfail- ing courtesy, co-operation and as- sistance that I received from Mr. Le tte sky. =o, year ne Hanlan and our own Agricultural Representative, M. F;:. - Cook, Last night he went to England's stands out most vividly in my shore; memory. And says that- soon he'll travel more, He thinks he did and who's'to say He hasn't really been away. He had a full life, yes it's so But must the twilight be so slow? A man whose strength was his one pride: How slowly for him runs the tide. Is it any wonder that I am quite sure the younger generation will make an excellent contribution to life, probably much more than our generation did, when poems such as the one that heads this column, are contributed as part of their high school work? This Jad has descended from pioneers of the north, and he has shown, in this poem, an understanding of pioneer life, and an appreciation of the dreams and memories of the old that is seldom seen and.is def- initely something to be proud of. *%* * & & The March issue of "The Quart- erly'? the magazine published by the Ontario Northland Transport- ation 'Commission, contains a well- deserved tribute to the late Alex Maclean, Haileybury's pioneer photographer, which we are re- printing elsewhere in this issue for our readers. Several pictures of the North, taken by Mr. Mac- Lean during the early days up to the 1930's, were used to illustrate the article. These included the waterfront at Temagami before the ONR Boatlines began operation; skiers leaving their special train News from the Svelyn Shoppe Have you seen the new Lombard Spring coats? A new shipment is just in at the Evelyn Shoppe, and in accordance with her usual cus- tom, Evelyn has thought of all her customers and selected sizes and materials for all. There are half sizes from 13% to 2014, to suit the petite persons, and "'Young Debs"' for the shorter figures. The, mater- ials include pure virgin wool and the textured blends, in bone, soft beige and the new tannish shades as well as the always - wanted navy and black, There are ithe lighter weight coats, too, that could serve as a duster or light Spring coat, as well as the all-weather coats, beautiful- ly tailored in fine checks in sever- al colors. Really outstanding is a com- pletely reversible walking suit, in a hounds tooth check of tan and beige, with fine beige tweed, bound with brown silk braid, This suit has its own matching coat, also reversible. It is styled by Mal- ber of Montreal, in a _ beautiful fine wool material. THE Drilling Talk At Rotary Club At the weekly meeting of the Haileybury Rotary Club, Monday, March 21, George Morissette gave an interesting talk on "Carbon- tip Tools'. He emphasized the superiority of carbon tipped tools over steel tipped, particularly in the tools used in coal mining. He also mentioned the use of carbon tips in jet motors and other ma- chinery of this type. Mr. Moriss- sette was introduced and thanked by the president, Sam Hughes. Mervin Lavigne was present as the guest of Klaas Sroka. The usual sing-song was enjoyed with Sally Whitby at the piano and Max Whitby leading.

Indian wedding party leaving the | New Kitchen For Parish With the assistance of the Wo- men's Auxiliary of St. Paul's Ang- lican Church, a new up-to-date and spacious kitchen is the latest addition to St. Paul's Parish Hall. The new kitchen will enable the ladies of the parish to cater to more functions in and outside the parish in the future. The kitchen has been built under the supervi- sion of Mr. John Leishman with the help of a number of men in the parish. As seating accommodation in the parish hall has become very limited, another group of men headed by Bill Pape are assist- ing the rector in asking . each household in the parish to buy one stack-up chair at $3.85, so that the parish hall can be furnished with at least one hundred chairs. The chair committee will be contacting the parishioners by telephone in the near future, and plan to com- plete the project before Easter.
