Peters Mad at Haileybury Town Council COBALT -- 'I'm peeved about says Arnold Peters, CCF Member of Parliament for Tem- iskaming. "'I am getting a dirty deal from municipalities when they play party politics." At an address in the Legion Hall here Sunday night, the M.P. was strongly critical of town councils ' at Haileybury and Kirkland Lake "in particular which had "dealt through the back door instead of 'coming to the member with their probiems."' "TJ have to represent all the ' people of the riding and don't care what political party they _ Support, what religion they are or what creed they adhere to,'"' he added. Mr. Peters was referring large- ly to a council motion in Hailey- bury calling on defeated PC can- didate C. Foster Rice to approach ~the government at Ottawa for a Federal Building, which, among other proposed offices, could house a post office. "T have discovered that Allis- "In New Liskeard the town coun- cil had a meeting and decided the Federal Government was not go- ing to assist them with dock im- provements," he added. "'They are going ahead themselves." "Because council did decide to go their own I have been asked to help and have met with the Pub- lic Works officials,' he said. '""The Federal Government has made commitments and will be doing some work on the dock and turn it over to the town for $1. Mr. Peters was strongly critical of the fact there was' what he termed "not one winter works pro- ject in the Tri-Town area."' "'The municipalities should seek more as- sistance." He said New Liskeard, where a beach improvement park scheme was underway, was interested in assistance and qualifies for a 70 per cent government grant toward the program. Rapping municipal "'politicians"' for sacrificing the needs of the people so as to keep Peters' name out of the newspapers," he criti- cized the Diefenbaker government for being '"'stupid in not planning the legislative sphere for the Ses- sion." "We don't know yet what legis- lation there is going to be this year and I don't think John Diefenbak- er has looked into his crystal ball and come up with an answer yet," he concluded.

'The council who are either related to the defeated candidate or have strong party affiliations," he stat- ed, "The idea was that council should deal through the back door."' Mr. Peters reported that he had asked the Post Master Generai in the House whether there was a pattern to follow when a post of- fice was asked for . . . including an investigation into the need for same, whether it would be more economical to rent or own and data based on the facilities to the amount of population. The MP said that on Saturday he went into the Haileybury post of- fice which he termed "'a dirty hole}, in the wall'. "It was dingy and ill dit." He said it was closed for some) lengthy time following the arrival of the train when mail was being} sorted and said other post offices remained open to serve the public. |: "This post office, I find, belongs to the mayor of the town, Arthur H. Cooke, who would lose the rent- al of this dingy little building if a Federal Building was erected." The MP stated that he intends} finding out whether Mr. Cooke "has training and qualifications for the job as Haileybury post mas- ter." "The municipality should pre- |: sent its case to the member back- ed by a resolution and if no action is taken it will then have the right to criticize the member," he stated.

"J sold it around 1912 to a man from Toronto and even if I still had the franchise it wouldn't be any good," O'Brien said Thurs- day night. The 75-year-old business execu- tive was commenting on a report that council in the silver mining town of 2,000 had instituted a A short time ago a letter from Mrs. Sadie Wakefield of Prescott, Ontario, was received at this of- fice, asking if we would publish a picture of her sister, Agnes search of municipal records to uncover what it understood was a 1910 document granting a 99-year NHL franchise. O'Brien, who was founder of Montreal Canadiens before their entry in the NHL, said he held franchises for the Canadiens, Co- balt, Haileybury and Renfrew in 1910, when all four clubs played in the six-team National Hockey As- sociation. Then a resident of Renfrew, he sold the franchise after two years and in 1917 the league and the franchise "died a natural death'"' with the formation of the NHL. By the time the NHL was form- ed, all O'Brien's franchises had been sold and only Ganadiens re- mained in the big league.

Daley and Glen Moody of the No Political Paradise Says New COBALT .-- "I'm not the type of politician who believes in a po- litical paradise on earth," Douglas Fisher, Porth Arthur Federal MP, told a gathering of CCF'ers here Sunday. night. "We have too many human weaknesses regardless~ of party adherence." "But by planning and taking into! account the experience of the past, we can make a better society,'"' he added. "And I think the New Party will have these principals." Mr. Fisher, voted one of three top politicians by the Ottawa press gallery, was guest speaker at a meeting arranged by the CCF rid- ing association. "TJ have been labelled a eritic of the New Party,' he stated. "There is nothing wrong with labor entering politics, but we must face the problems and not say we are right and the others are bad boys." He said the principal shortcom- ing of the CCF has been in educat- ing the people of Canada, but he foresaw a better chance for this Party M.-P. mation, which was cutting out jobs for thousands of Canadians, there was a move from the rural to ur- ban centres which will change the picture entirely in the years to come. "The white collar workers face the same problem as the laborer, he felt. '"'We as a political party aren't going to smash the IBM ma- chine, but we will have a more human approach to fhe problems which beset us." . Mr. Fisher said Canadians, as individuals, would' have more of a voice in politiés than they have had under. either of the old par- ties. "In the old parties people hold grudges," he said. He said he was personally at- tracted toward the CCF (and now" the New Party) because their poli- cies stand for equal educational op- portunities for all, the co-opera- tive spirit which opposed one that out of ruthless competition will emerge the victorious few, and IS SS ADF Bs ) Court, in an effort to locate her.
