> -Haileyburian-Cobalt Post -- ESTABLISHED 1904 Vol. 56 -- No. 21 Haileybury, Ontario, Thursday, July 28, 1960 5e"- COPY _s Young Drivers The Ontario Department of Transport draws the attention of drivers visiting New York State to the fact that the State does not issue full drivers' li- cences to drivers living in the State if they are under eigh- teen years of age. The New York State issues a special Juniors licence to those between the ages of six- teen and eighteen. This means that drivers li- censed in Ontario who are be- tween sixteen and_ eighteen years of age cannot legally drive a vehicle in New York State on their - Ontario licence. Young drivers should be aware of this fact in order to avoid a violation of the New York State law in this respect. Haileybury Loses Outstanding Citizen In the death of Dr. J. C. Craw- ford, the town of Haileybury has lost a citizen who for over fifty years has taken an active interest in' all community affairs. Serving the town as a dentist he was made an Honorary Member of the Ontario College of Dental Surgeons when he had completed fifty years of service. He was a life member of the Masonic Order -and had _ been awarded a fifty year. Membership Medal. -- A member of the Rotary Club since its inception, he was active _in all its undertakings and it was largely through his efforts that the Rotary Park project was success- fully undertaken. Keenly interested in hunting his absence from the Haileybury Hunt Club at Mann Lake will.be keenly felt. Al Balding, top flight Canadian pro drives from the first tee of the Haileybury Golf Club yesterday. Watching the flight of the ball are Balding's partner, Bob Grey, with Bill and Dave Morland of North Bay. Proceeds from the match go to the New Lis- keard Nurses' Residence fund. Summer Carnival Is Now Under Way The Northland Chambers of Com- merce Summer Carnival got away to a fast start Wednesday when the threatening weather cleared around noon, and scheduled events had the blessing of intermittent sunshine. . Big draw of the day wa's the golf clinic and match between leading Ontario professional's and amateul's at the Haileybury Golf Club. Al Balding and Bob Gray, pro's from ithe Toronto area held a golf clinic 'for local players, and then played a match against Dave and Bill Morland, Northern Ontario Champions of past and present. Dave also won the Ontario cham- Cobalt & Liskeard Guides Buy Camp One of the prettiest and most completely equipped summer homes in the area, Ken Buffam's camp on Mud Lake has been sold. The purchasers are the Girl Guide Associations in Cobalt and New Liskeard, who co-operated on the venture and whose Guides will both make use of the camp. The purchase price has beeen de- scribed as 'extremely reasonable"' but both associations need some as- sistance in financing the venture. Donations may be left in Cobalt with Mrs. W. Latimer of Silver Street, and in New Liskeard with Mrs, J. H. Sumbler of Whitewood Avenue. The camp covers some 20 acres, with an extensive shoreline. The main cottage is large and well equipped, and there are auxiliary buildings, shrubbery and woods. Lighting is supplied with a Delco system, and the camp, about four miles south of Cobalt, can be easily reached by a good road. The Cobalt Girl Guide Company consists of about 50 girls. In New Liskeard there are two companies of about 25 each. The camp will be free for girls from both towns, and operated un- i a the strict rules laid down by y t ye Canadian Girl Guide Associa- tion. Supervision for Girl Guide camp- _ ing is maintained by the Canadian Camping Committee, whose chair- man is the commissioner for camp- ~ ing and whose members are all authorities on different phases of camp life. A very high and com- _ prehensive camping standard is ensured by close co-operation be- tween the provincial camp com- missioners and their committees and the Canadian Camping Com- mittee. The Guider-in-charge who heads each camp has to be an expert in camping theory and practice. A swimming instructor holding Royal Life Saving or Red Cross Instruc- tor's certificate and a nurse or qualified first aider are always in- cluded in the staff. Girl Guides are taught how and where to pitch their tents and how to keep them dry; well ventilated and tidy. They sleep in bedrolls with waterproof ground sheets. A marquee, house or other shelter is always available in wet weather for meals and recreation. At the Buffam Camp the Girl Guides are planning to rehabilitate a large barn as a wet weather eating and playhouse. Fees cover general expenses and maintenance on equipment as the camp staffs nearly always donate their services. There has been a great and con- tinuing interest in Girl Guide Camps. In Ontario in 1953 there were, 134 Guide camps, and 27 Brownie camps, making a total of 161 camps with campers and staff totalling 7,436. There were also 165 Guides holding campers' licenses and 22 holding pack holiday certi- ficates for Brownie camps. By 1959 this hac vastly increas- ed. There were 471 Guide camps, 142 Brownie camps, with a com- bined total of 513 canips. The num- ber of campers and staff had grown to 19,920, and 211 Guides held campers' licenses, and 55 Guides held pack holiday certifi- cates. pionship last week. At the time of writing no results of the match were available. At New Liskeard the Tri-town Swim meet under the direction of Recreation Director Ken Edgar drew record entries, and the Jay- cees Car roadeo and Bike races were well patronized. The Rod and Gun Club casting competition made ia fair start, with promise of bigger entries during the rest of the carnival. To straighten out this welter of information we suggest you buy an official program for a complete list of events and times; The program also car- ries a chance for a substantial cash prize, so it is well worth the price. As a tip, get one early, there is a limited num- ber available. No big fish have been entered in the Fish derby as yet, but the fishermen have been sharpening up their hooks and promising to put Liskeard on the fishing map in a big way. Mayor Bill Barr gave the New Liskeard section of the Festival his official blessing, and express- ed best wishes for good weather and a 'successful venture in all other centres. He gave hilgh marks te the Chamber of Com- merce officials from all towns for organizing the Festival, and to the many organizations helping put it across. There were couniter alttractions in New Liskeard during the "even- ing. The Legion staged a boxing tournament {for Northern Ontario Championships, with 'a good all round card, and Club 60, with a top ranking effort to put ithe carn- ival across in a big. way, held the ifirst of its long series of dances at the pavilion. Today.- (Thursday) Cobalt gets into ithe swing wilth a mine rescue display, a hand steel contest and a district council tug-of+war. The fire department will give a thrill- ing display in the evening. Haileybury's Thursday events include an Open House at the Mining school, with a small car roadeo at the Mining school on Friday. For the King Ganam Show on Thursday at the New Liskeard Memorial Arena, Club 60 has stuck out its executive neck to bring this big attraction to New Liskeard, and every young person who likes music and dancing in the modern manner should bug their parents for enough to pay the tariff. Looks like a full house from here. Liskeard has a slew of events for Friday, a soap box derby on the main street, Monster Bingo at the grand stand. Wrestling atthe arena and the start of the Northern On- tario Youth Jamboree at the Beach Pavilion.

Last year two Cobalters lost their homes when Mastermet wanted to sell land to an old company, and now two more have received evic- tion notices. Mr. and Mrs- Ernest Nixon of Lang Street have regeived orders to get out of their home by August 8, and T. Othmer of Earl Street has received a similar notice. Mr. and Mrs. Nixon have oc- cupied their home for 40 years, and paid taxes on the land and buildings to the town during that period. Mr. Othmer, a miner with five children; has occupied his house for the past five years. Mr. Nixon, a 71-year-old retired clerk, is seriously ill in bed. Both he and Mrs. Nixon have played.a leading part in the disputes the tenants have had over the years with the various. companies that have controlled the surface rights on what is now the Mastermet land at the north end of Cobalt. The ground was originally owned by the Alladin Mining Company, and for some years the occupants paid ground rent to that company. Then in the 1930's the Nixons won a law suit against. the company's representative, and Mrs. Nixon states that the late Mayor Wain- wright of Cobalt urged all the ten- ants to stop paying ground rent. Cobalt Lands Company got con- trol of the ground when Alladin was liquidated, and Mastermet got it from the Cobalt Lands. Master- met sold most of its mining rights, but retained control of the surface rights. Mrs. Nixon claims that the com- pany never made any demand for ground rent, and in fact, took little interest in the situation until last year, when it had two tenants evic- (Continued On Page Five)
