rr ri McGillivray, R. 299 Jan. i HAILEYBURIAN Vol. 26; No. 43 HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 29th, 1931 Subscription Rate: $2.00 per yeat Eo casion Talk Reflects Seriousness of Conditions Ottawa News Letter Outlines Si'tuation Should Provinces With- draw From Confederation; Only in Union Lies Strength to Overcome All Difficulties While the Bennett ministry is laboring over the program for. the approaching session of Par-| liament and keeping "Wits own counsel as to intentions, the, country at large is being enter- tained with another outcropping of secession talk and threats. There are still rumblings of discontent in the Maritimes, not- ably in New Brunswick, but the anvil chorus against Confedera- tion is now chiefly heard in sec- tions of Saskatchewan and Al- berta. The talk, of course, 1s serious only inasmuch as it re- flects the seriousnes of economic conditions in an important agri- cultural area. Even in this as- pect inflamed oratory has run to exaggeration, though things are far from well in many sections. Insofar as secession becoming a fact is concerned, it most cer- tainly cannot occur in this gen- eration, nor with calm consider- ation wiuld any but a few mal- contents desire it. Supposing for example, Saskatchewan desired to withdraw and was permitted to do so. The first thing that would happen would be that tar- iffs now operative in Canada a- gainst other Empire urits would be effective against the indus- tries of Saskatchewan and_ that are--if the clamorings now heard were translated into action-- would be a free trade territory. Her industries which are yearly becoming of more importance would not even enjoy the Pro- vincial market. The net result would be that it wouldn't take 12] months for every industry witha} more than purely local output to| pull up stakes and_ re-establish} somewhere else. What of the farming popula- tion, for the alleged benefit of whom secession is urged? Its great-source of revenue is from wheat and with its own urban market destroyed and the Cana- dian market closed to it for dairy and meat products, wheat would! of necessity become an even lar- ger factor in income. That wheat would have to find sale in the} very markets now open to it;| would have to face competition from Russia, India, the Argentine just as it does now. Deprived of the bargaining power in al ciprocal preferences of all Cana- da, would it be able to market} more successfully, say in Britain| as a seceded state than it is at | present? | | It is ridiculous to sug-: gest such a thing. Any thoughtful person knows there are conditions which must be met and remedied by paternal government action but every thoughtful person knows that no remedy for °current ills lies through the path of secession. Those who talk of secession do the cause of the farmer harm. And it takes more than talk of secession to bring it about. It would be as sensible for every tax payer who was dissatisfied with his municipal government to declare himself out of his municipality and out of Canada. Then we would have--if he had his way--about ten million~ sep- arate states in place of a Domin- ion and every one could make his or-her own laws to suit himself or herself. The result would be no laws, no society, no democra- cy--and very soon, "no thing." The truth of the matter is that only im-union lies strength and the only way we can surmount our difficulties is to appreciate those of our fellow-Canadians and put the common shoulder to the wheel with goodwill and de- termination, not selfishly, but, in the common interest of all Canada. You can't progress by disinte- gration! ----_>--_--_ Associated Boards of Trade Meet at Liskeard, Feb. 16th The annual meeting of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade has been called for February 16th next when delegates from the various local Boards will gather at New Liskeard. Up to the present no outline of the program has been sent out from the headquarters at Englehart, but according toa statement a week or two.ago by the president, Mr. C. W. Wright, the question of the route of the trans-Canada Highway will be up for dis- cussion. Other business will include the election of offi- cers for the year. Pleas for Snobbery Professor R. E. Rogers of the Massachusettts Institute of Tech- nology, has attracted wide at- tention and criticism by his plea for "snobbery." According to the professor, a snob is a person who elevates himself from a lesser position in life to a higher one because he realizes that the high- er things are best PRESCRIPTIONS Prescription Department. branch of our business.

PHONE 58 Drug Store HAILEYBURY Youths Start on Unique Journéy With Long Skis North Cobalt Trio Had Good Weather to Commence Novel Attempt Armed with a letter of intro- duction and recommendation from Reeve Burt Normandy, of Bucke Township, the three North Cobalt youths, who are journey- ing to Toronto on one long set of skis started out on their trip early Monday morning. When they left, they expected to be in North Bay some time Wednes- day afternoon, and to reach To- ronto in the course of next week, probably ten days after leaving home. The three travellers are Ken- neth Kearney, W. A. Stoughton and James McAulay. They left their homes shortly after seven o'clock in the morning, and about 7.45 were jogging steadily south- ward on Lang Street. As they passed: through Cobalt, the lads were making good progress, swinging along with a_ steady stride and facing the trip ahead with every confidence in their ability to make the grade. At that time, the trio were travelling light, but farther down the Latchford road thev picked up their packsacks for the jour- ney south, these having been car- ried for some miles on the first stage by McAulay's father, who drove his automobile ahead with the baggage With them, the youths had the Reeve's letter, in which they were commended to the attention of those they hap- pened to encounter and in which also it was stated that any as- sistance required and given would be appreciated. News of their impeding depar- ture was sent out over the Co- balt radio station, CKMC, on Sunday afternoon, and many of the citizens were well aware of the hour of their leaving. A num- ber of the early birds were up Made Fast Trip | From Toronto | To Haileybury ; Plane With Three Men Travels | From City in Two Hours, | Forty-Five Minutes Flying a Buhl air sedan, Pilot Howard Watt, of the National Air Transport Limited, Toronto, flew from that city to Haileybury in two hours and forty-five min- utes yesterday, landing here on the lake in the early afternoon. With him on the trip were Kelly Edmison and Norman Stein, also of the company, and the party had intended to go on to Kirk- land Lake, but the snow storm interfered with their trip and they stopped over to wait for better weather. On the trip up from the city the party encountered what they termed both extremes of weath- er. When they started the day was bright and not a cloud was to be seen, but as they came north the weather changed and at North Bay snow was falling and the weather was becoming bad for flying. On their arrival over Haileybury, they decided to land and stop over night or until the weather cleared. The National Air Transport has been operating between the Bannockburn mining area and outside points during the fall and early winter. About two weeks ago the plane that was in use was taken to the Sudbury district where it is stationed at the pre- sent. The party which stopped here did not know just how long their operations in the North would continue. |Honorable W. A. Gordon on Tour of North This Week Honorable W. A.
