j ; ; i ESTABLISHED 1904 -Haileyburian-Cobalt Post Vol. 56 -- No. 29 Haileybury, Ontario, Thursday, September 22, 1960 oe CORY * Political Action in Ontario CC e Liberal Liberal candi- Harvey Plaunt, 'date in the Temiskaming bye-elec- tion, continued his hard-hitting campaign this week. Mr. Plaunt spoke at largely at- tended rallies in Latchford, Elk Lake, Earlton, Englehart, Cobalt, Temagami and Haileybury. He and John J. Wintermeyer, Ontario Lib- eral leader, shared the platform Wednesday night in Haileybury. _ "The enthusiasm and co-opera- tion I have seen in this campaign is a clear indication Liberalism is on the march in this riding again,' Mr. Plaunt said. He said many Conservatives and disillusioned C.C.F.-ers were join- ing Liberal ranks. Mr. Plaunt has been pointing out how the riding of Temiskaming has been ignored under a Conserv- ative Government. "The election of another Tory M.P.P. would mean another silent member on the Gov- ernment side," he said. "It is not true to say that this riding will be ignored if a Liberal candidate is elected,' said Mr. Plaunt. '"'Look at the ridings of (continued on page five) | Conservative rasmus As the 'bye-election campaign for Temiskaming hits the home stretch, Conservative campaigners, party workers and supporters are expressing confidence that the rid- ing will again elect a represent- ative who will sit on the govern- ment side of the house. Conservative candidate Phil Hoff- man, speaking at meetings across the riding, and to voters met in- formally in his travels expressed it this way: "Before the campaign started everyone had a feeling that this would be a real battle for the seat, and a close one at that." "But as the weeks went-by, when neither of the opposing candidates nor their southern Ontario helpers came up with anything new, and merely offered a rehash of the is- sues raised and rejected in the election last summer, the possibil- ity of a close race vanished."' "One of the so-called issues rais- ed by one party is the promise that if elected, they will pay 100 per cent of school costs," he contin- ued, "with the broad suggestion that the municipalities are present- (continued on page five) Haileybury Musicians At Camp Musicale The Haileybury executive of the Jeunesses Musicales of Canada re- cently presented their first Schol- arship which entitled the recipi- 'ent to a two week course of study 'earned her and instruction at The Camp Mu- sicale, situated near Magog, Que- bec, in the Mount Orford Provin- cial Park. Miss Dayntrie MacDougall of Haileybury. was honored with the presentation of this first scholar- ship and attended the Camp in company with others from differ- 'ent parts of Canada. At the end of the two weeks, her talent, abil- ity and- application to her work another week at the Camp, on the invitation of Miss Lefebvre, on behalf of those in charge. All types of musical instruction was given but Miss MacDougall's interest was in the choral classes. One of her instructors was Raoul bin, world famous tenor of the -- re aris Opera, Opera Comique and "the New York Metropolitan Opera, _ who is now teaching at the Con- servatoire de la Province de Que- bec. Another was Marcel Lauren- celle, director of the Jeunesses ' Musicales of Canada choir and a participant in major productions - of the CBC and Montreal Festivals. Norbert Duforecq of Paris present- ed eight lectures on Symphonic music and eight on Choral Music. Each night concerts were pre- sented in the JMC concert hall. These were recorded for the CBC and will be heard on Sunday nights, this coming year, over the French network. One of the re- laxations planned for the students was their attendance at the comic operas of Maurice and Marthe Blackburn. One of these, with a east of four, will be touring for JMC this winter, presenting "Une Mesure de Silence'. They were also taken to the Benedictine Mon- astery at St. Benoit du Lac, where they heard a lecture on Gregorian Chanting by Dom. Lemieux. Among the other famous music- ians who taught the different phas- es of music at the Camp were Franz Broun of Brussels, Vlado Pertemuter of Paris, Rene Moris- set and Victor Bouchard of Que- bee City, Patricia Going of Mont- real, Charles Reiner and Jacque- line Richard of Montreal, Edgard Davignon, who is Professor of Mu- sic in Val d'Or and Amos, Quebec, Rafael Masella, Calvin Sieb, Wal- ter Joachem and Jacques Verdon, all of Montreal, and many others.

The CCF are conducting a free- wheeling campaign, taking heavy swipes at both Liberals and Conser- vatives. C. H. Taylor the CCF candidate .is not pulling any punches, and the CCF line is that there isn't any difference between Liberals and Tories, so the voters should vote CCF. To press home the attack the CCF has even enlisted an _ air- plane, which has 'bombed' some outlying outposts with CCF liter- ature. The CCF believe that it is pick- (continued on page five) Hotel Destroyed in $200,000 Blaze Fire .of undertermined origin completely destroyed the two- storey cement block hotel at Bay Lake, Latchford; early this~ morn- ing. The fire was first noticed and an alarm sounded by Paddy. O'Shaugnessy, at 4.40 a.m. Co- balt firemen were summoned and two lines of hose were laid. Mr. O'Shaughnessy told The Speaker that when he first no- ticed the blaze it seemed to be only in the north-east corner of the building, and had fire-fighting equipment been available the building could have been saved. Shortly after his arrival an ex- plosion seemed to spread the flames throughout the entire struc- ture. The large plate glass win- dow in the front blew out and flames enveloped the whole hotel within half an hour. Mrs. Art Burns, wife of the own- er of hte building told The Speaker that the loss would be in the vicinity of $200,000. Her husband had no insurance on his interest in the building and she did not know whether the mort- gage holder had protected him- self. For some time the owners have beeen reported in financial difficulties. Some months ago, Barney Sky of Toronto, was supposed to have purchased the two-storey hotel. He announced his intention of erect- ing a Marina on Bay Lake, but it failed to materialize when he failed to complete the deal. Some work was being done in the building, Mrs. Burns said. No heat had been turned on, and the hydro was not in use. The second floor had been completely finished, and most of the work on main floor was completed. No refuse had been left laying around inside and no furniture to any extent was in the building. Pills Kiil Child Provincial police have under- taken a very thorough investiga- tion into the circumstances -- sur- rounding the death of four-year-old Monique Talbot of Cobalt. The child died in Haileybury hos- pital Tuesday from what is stat- ed to be an overdose of drugs. Monique is reported to have taken more than 50 asthma pills that were sold her mother by a door- to-door vendor for a patent medi- cine company. "T ate all the candy mummy,'"' the little girl told her mother, Mrs. Pete Talbot of Earl street. Her father is a hoistman at the Temagami Mine. The Talbots had just moved in- to their home, and the family medicines were packed in a box (Continued On Page Five) Election Not a Tea Party Claims John Wintermeyer HAILEYBURY -- John J. Win- termeyer, Ontario Liberal Leader, said here last night that it was time the people of the north stop- ped paying a premium for not liv- ing in the south. Mr. Wintermeyer, speaking on behalf of Harvey Plaunt, Liberal candidate in the Temiskaming bye- election September 29, pointed out the extra costs the people of the north had to pay for the basic necessities of life. "What this area needs is indust- rial and agricultural develop- ment,' he said. "This can only be brought about by making the north attractive for agriculture and secondary industry. The main handicap is the cost of moving goods and products in and out of the north."' The government Can assist many ways, he said. "For example, why should 900 in carloads of potatoes be imported into this area when excellent pot- atoes can be grown right here?"' "Why should the people of this riding have to pay $10 extra for a ton of fertilizer?" "Why couldn't the government assist in the building of an ab- batoir in this riding to lower meat prices and build up beef herds?"' Mr. Wintermeyer said the On- tario Northland Railway was built as a development road, "not to be a money-maker". "These are fundamental prob- lems' that must be solved through the realization of the needs and the importance of the North. They 'won't be solved by tea parties. "The sceptre of unemployment hangs over this- riding and all over Ontario. This won't. vanish with tea parties. Neither can a Tory M.P.P. solve these import- ant problems. ernment's record if you want proof." Mr. Wintermeyer said there must be a change in government policy. The people have the op- portunity to show their dissatis- faction of the governmeint's "do nothing' policy by electing the Liberal candidate in the bye-elec- tion. "The people of the north are not looking for handouts or char- ity,' Mr. Wintermeyer said. "They are looking for opportunities to im- prove their standard of living. They just want to be on equal footing with those who live in Southern Ontario." _ Mr. Wintermeyer asked the vot- ers to contrast the government's "everything is just fine in the north" with the Liberal--Party's program to bring about a sound, progressive and stable develop- Look at the gov-!ment program for the entire area.
