ES McGillivray, R - 299° Jan. 39 a dé E HAIL YBU AN Vol. 25; No. 32 ij. Whee HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14th, 1929 Subscription Rate: $1.50 per year Pay Honor to Fallen on Armistice Day --_.__ People Gather in Spite of Rain for Memorial Service on Anniversary Despite the vy rain through- out Sund, ght and early on Monday was a large gath- ering of citizens present for the "service of Remembrance" at the Memorial plot held just previous to the hour of eleven, in coim- memoration of the eleventh an- niversary of the signing of the armistice. Prominent among the number were veterans of the great war,, who had planned to hold a parade, but had decided to omit this part of the ceremony on account of the rain. Two beautiful wreaths were placed at the foot of the memo- rial, one of poppies provided by the Canadian Legion here, the other of natural flowe rs contrib- uted in memory of loved ones who had given their lives in the war. There were other floral tributes to the memory of the soldiers, brought by bereaved ones. On account of the rain, the ser- vice was held in the fire hall, which overlooks the plot. Rey. D. A. MacKeracher, Pastor of the United Church, was in charge and the two Salvation Army of- ficers, Captain Pederson and Lt. Peacock, played the accompani- ments for the hymn, "O God Our Help in Ages Past" and the National Anthem. In a short address, Rev. Mac- Keracher spoke of the anniver- sary being observed as "one of pain, but of pain that does not lead to bitterness." We should not go forth embittered or un- blessed, as it was not for this that they gave their lives. Sure- ly the command of our Lord, "This do in remembrance of Me," was linked up in this sacrifice. "We stand and recall something that hurts'-the-speaker-said,"but we do not end there or anywhere except in God. We find that our commemoration has become communion. We find that we are no longer alone, and we find ourselves praying that we may never be unworthy of such sacri- fice and such communion. We cannot let anything separate us| from our beloved dead. Our love for them will become like the love of God, which was likened to a 'consuming fire'. Our com- munion and commemoration must become: onsecration of our- selves to the great cause of peace for which they died." At the conclusion of the ad- dress, a toll of the fire bell mark- ed the beginning and the end of the period of silence, during which the gathering stood. with bowed heads. The "Last Post" was sounded by Bugler W. G. Lewis and the service closed with the singing of the National An- them. ae aes Wilmot McFarlane was home from North Bay to spend Thanks- giving with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H.

Rebekah Lodges Hold Annual Session Here Lodge of Instruction Brings At- tendance from all Points on Thanksgiving Day About one-hundred and fifty members of the Rebekah Order, 1.0.0.F., were in Haileybury on Monday of this week for their annual Lodge of . Instruction, |which has been held on Thanks- | giving Day for a number, of years |past. The five lodges of the dis- trict, Kirkland Lake, Englehart, New Liskeard, Cobalt and Hail- eybury were all well represented and great interest was taken in the proceedings. Sessions were held in the afternoon, from 2.30 to 5, and in the evening from 7.30 to 10.30. A banquet was served in the Temple at 6 o'clock and the whole event was one of great enjoyment to the members of the Order. Mrs. Booth, of Peterboro, a Past President o f the Rebekah Assembly, was an honored guest at the gathering, along with Mrs. McKinlay, of New Liskeard, the | District Deputy President, Mr. |L.

This will likely be discuss- jed in the lodges during the com- ing year.

The most serious was that suf- fered last week by Aime Trudel, employed on the construction of the new Roman Catholic Church, who lost the big toe of his left foot wh€n a steel beam slipped and crushed the member. The other toes on the foot were crushed rather badly but it is expected that they will be saved. He is in the Red Cross Hospital, where he was taken immediately following the accident and-where the toe was amputated. Ian McFarlane met with a jsomewhat similar injury a day or two Jater, when a_ steel girder which was being unloaded at the T. & N. O. station for the arena building fell on his foot, cutting and crushing it. He was taken to the hospital where stitches were required in the in- jured member and was later able to return to his home. The third accident occurred on Tuesday, when Angus McNabb was struck by a falling gin-pole at the new garage of the Central Motor Sales-and suffered a bad cut on the head. The wound was stitched up and Mr. McNabb, while not able to work for aXfew days, is not suffering seriously. 2 Mr. and Mrs. Claude Morrison eybury to spend Jos.

All members were present, with the exception of Councillor C. E. Fleming, who was out of town on business. Mrs. Chaput asked the council for a rebate on water rates as they had installed the service themselves, and was allowed a reduction to cover the cost. Jos. Moore, who had also done the greater part of the work on his installation, was given an al- lowance covering his time at the regular rate of wages. In regard to the transfer licen- ses there were three men present A. El- liott and D. S. Merkley had com- menced business in October and they asked for a reduction on the regular rate of $15.00 on account of the short period until the end of the year, when the license would automatically expire. The council agreed to this and allow- ed a rebate of $10.00. P. Barette complained that he had been compelled to pay $15.00 for a li- cense, while other men with teams were allowed to do similar work and pay nothing.
