ee ESTABLISHED 1904 Verso -- Nos22 Haileybury, Ontario, Thursday, August 4, 1960 5c, CORY. iberal Leader Promises Battle for District Seat "A Liberal government in On- tario will take the cost of educa- tion off the shoulders of the resi- dents of municipalities.. It will -re- lieve real estate of the burden that it has born for over one hundred years,' Liberal leader John Wih- termeyer told a gathering of Lib- erals at a dinner meeting in Hail- eybury Hotel last night. Mr. Win- termeyer intimated that 'funds from the provincial treasury to pay such a cost which would include edcuation right through University for all those who showed sufficient aptitude and could pass the re- quired tests, would come from a special education tax to be lev- ied by the Provincial government. . Such.a tax would, in his opinion, spread the cost of education more equitably over the entire popula- tion of the province, and give those -who qualify the education they de- serve. With Mr. Wintermeyer, is his ex- ecutive assistant Dr. Boyd Upper, and. Arthur Rheaume of Windsor. . The: party. are in Temiskaming on a pre-organization tour to get the riding machinery in readiness - for 'the anticipated by-election made necessary by the death of A. R. Herbert of Cobalt. Speaking gener: ally he-foresaw great development in the north in the next twenty years, and mentioned that where- as at the present time, iron ship- ments from the head of the lakes to the United States totalled about 7,000,000 tons, it was estimated that within the next 20 years the United States would require at least 90,- 000,000 tons a year and that at least half of this amount~ could come from iron properties west of Fort William. The Liberal leader promised that specific assistance should and would be given to place the north on a parity with the southern part of the province, both in agricultural and other fields. On Premier Frost's proposed hidden sales tax, if he doesn't get a greater share of money from the Federal Government, Mr. Winter- meyer said the Liberal party is against hidden taxes, and believed that if more money was required for Ontario it should be levied and collected by the Ontario Govern- ment. '"'I believe that the Federal and Provincial Governments should levy and collect the funds that each require and that no gov- ernment should collect funds to be turned over to another government to spend."'

A 19855 car proceeding north, driven by Maurice Paquette, 22, of Cobalt, hit the horse, which was thrown on to the top of the vehicle, crushing 'the roof. Paquette's car is presumed to have then swung sideways into the path of a southbound car driy- en by: Gordon Skerratt of Toronto, and then it struck a car driven by Percy Farrow of Haileybury.

Motel operator Harry Groom and his wife rigged up emergency flood lights to illuminate the dark high- way. Police were trying to clear the highway and four cars facing north were waiting to get by the debris when another northbound car smashed into the rear of one, and drove them all together. Police estimated that damages in this multiple smash would ex- ceed $3,000. The car that crashed into the lineup was driven by Hec- tor Fleury of Spanish, Ont. He lost three teeth and suffered a bruised lip when his face hit the steering wheel. A passenger in the Fleury car, Leo- Ouimet,. 42, was hospitalized with serious <acerations to his head and nose, apparently caused when his head went through the wind- shield. Robert Goudreau of Ansonville, driver of the car at the rear of the lineup hit by Fleury, was hospital. ized with head lacerations. A pas- senger, Alice Gagnon, received out- patient treatment for minor cuts. The horse was owned by H. E. Brown of North Cobalt, and ina pasture with 22 others.
