CORY : "High School at ne aaa statutes, - Haileybury School Board an- nounced to-day that Temiskam- ing Construction's bid for the contract to build the new high school had been accepted. The Haileybury company will erect a seven room school for a cost of $108,300. Mayor Purdy Says Cobalt Tax Lag Not Really Bad Cobalt's financial position -is not as bad as has been suggested and business in the town is picking up according to Mayor Fulton Purdy. The mayor commented recently on statements made by Council- lor R. J. Miller, who charged that at the end of the year the town will have $30,000 on the books in back taxes. "Mr. Miller is correct, 'but most of these arrears will be 1959 and some 1960 taxes. In fact, we will be collecting our full levy as de- linguent taxes owing since 1958 and 1957 are paid', he said. .-_, The mayor claimed that figures from comparable municipalities show that the amount of tax ar- rears in Cobalt is no worse than in other towns. g ° The mayor added that business conditions are improving and sev- eral concerns which owed the town |- a-lot of money are paying up. "One concern is paying: off- its tax arrears at the rate of $125 a month. - Another two businesses that had a tough time for -a while are catching up with their taxes at the rate of $50 a month..It's easy to talk about being tough, but if we had been too tough, these concerns would have folded up' or moved out", he added. "I think it will be a:good idea if all the councillors who want to be mayor would refrain from campaigning until after: the. nom- ination meeting November 23", the. mayor concluded. Ladies of the Haileybury Anglican church were busy last week when delegates from all. over the north attended a deanery meeting at Haileybury.

W. Kenrick Guest Speaker at PTA. Magistrate E. W. Kenrick, Judge of the Juvenile and Family Court of the District of Temiskaming, was the guest speaker when the English section of the Parent- Teacher Association held their Oc- tober meeting in Holy Cross School on Wednesday night. -Introduced by D. G. Hogan, Magistrate Kenrick addressed the members on the top- ic "What are we doing with our juvenile delinquents?" He pointed out that what might be termed serious juvenile delinquency was not a major problem in Canada and in Northern Ontario in par- ticular, mentioning that the - pro- portion of delinquency in the Tri- Town area was quite low. He explained the words "'juven- ile delinquency" at present and in the past, applies to all and every offence committed by a juvenile whether the offence was a minor infraction of municipal by-laws or ; or the more rious offence under the Criminal Code. He felt that some distinction should be made and stated that this was receiving scrutiny. Magistrate Kenrick recently at- tended a United Nations Congress in London, England, and a meet- ing of the International Crimino- logieal Congress in the Hague in Holland. He said that the advance and study of this problem in Can- ada was equal to the best, with Ontario probably leading the Can- adian field. The speaker felt that the major- ity, of juvenile delinquents could best be dealt with by applying a paddle, but when the circumstan- ces surrounding the delinquency warrants, then some or all of the many services available to the court come into play. These in- clude probation service, Childven's Aid Society, Welfare Department, Health Department, psychiatrist, training schools and many others. Mrs. J. Renaud expressed the thanks of the members to Magis- trate Kenrick for his interesting address. The meeting was opened with prayer by Sister Ste. Ivan and during the business session, Mrs. A. Kobus read the minutes of the previous meeting and Mrs. D. Her- bert gave a report on the work of the Library committee. Mrs. D. Pelangio reported on the very suc- cessful tea held at her home in July, (after the closing of the As- sociation for the summer months) the proceeds of which were used to purchase books for the library. The President, Mrs. G. Vezina, thanked Mrs. Pelangio and her committee for their efforts. Mrs. J. Hughes was appointed to convene a rummage sale. Plans were discussed for a tea to be held at the school for Open House, on Parents Day during Education Week. Counterfeiter Guilty Says He Was Threatened A bizarre case involving a Lar- der Lake printer occupied two days at Haileybury court house this week. On Tuesday, District Judge J. B. Robinson of Haileybury found John Joseph Troscinski,-48, guilty on two charges. He was charged by RCMP with possessing counterfeit money, and with possessing. equipment that could be used for counterfeiting. In his defence, Troscinski claim- ed that he had been forced into counterfeiting by gun _ wielding gangsters from Montreal who threatened his family. Troscinski was arrested July 24 when Larder Lake municipal po- lice accompanied by RCMP search- ed his premises. Later Troscinski was sentenced to six months in jail for possessing pornographic ma- terial, and three months for hav- ing a still. : The RCMP founda counterfeit bills, completed or 'partially print- ed, totalling abouf $22,000. Tro- scinski admitted turning over counterfeit money worth about $10,000 to -associates from Mont- Teale. Beek He claimed that in 1957 he want- ed to start a business manufactur- ing wall plaques, and needed about $16,000 to get started. He was in- troduced to Toronto stockbroker Fred Boylen, who promised to con- sider forming a company. Later Boylen is alleged to have taken Troscinski to Quebec City, and introduced him to George Couture, head of a plastic manu- facturing business. While in Cou- ture's office, Troscinski said that he met a Paul DeChevrier, who discussed with him Troscinski's ar- tistic ability. Later Troscinski rier in Montreal, where DeChev- rier showed him _ several fine homes, and took him out to ex- pensive restaurants. '"'You can come down here and live tike a met DeChev- king," DeChevrier is supposed to have said. Then DeChevrier picked up a bundle of counterfeit American bills from a back alley address, and showed them to Troscinski. He asked Troscinski if he would go to. Montreal and work for him there. Troscinski refused and returned to Larder Lake; but later met De- Chevrier at a Toronto hotel. There DeChevrier gave him $2,000 to- wards the cost of a machine Tro- scinski said could make paper. Troscinski gave the:money: to his wife to go to England taking with (Continued on Page Three) Remand Roy On Murder Charge Stanley Roy, 40, of Temagami, charged with the brutal murder of his wife, was remanded in Magis- trate's Court at North Bay. °* Court proceedings will be moved back to Temagami where the pre- liminary hearing will be held be- fore Magistrate E.
