Haileybury Man Helped To Build Bridge In Italy In a report from The Toronto Star's war Italy, Gregory Clark, appearing in the Monday @sue, was included the name of a Haileybury correspondent in man serving with the Canadians there. Although the name given was not quite correct, being listed as "'Aisto", the address was given as Haileybury it is believed that he is Allan Aistrop, who has been ovrseas' for a long per- iod. The initials were given as "A.W." The despatch told of a unit of Cana- dians erecting a bridge over the Moro} River while under heavy fire from the| enemy guns and spoke of the determin- ation displayed by the men in carrying out their allotted task. TEN APPLICATIONS FOR CITIZENSHIP APPROVED BY JUDGE Applications for citizenship from eighteen prospective new Canadians were considered by His Honor Judge Hayward at a sitting of the District Court in Haileybury on Monday, with the result that 10 of them were ap- proved and will be forwarded to the Secretary of State for final disposition, while the other eight will have to wait for a period. Seven of the applications which were deferred were set back for six months in order that the applicants might acquire a better knowledge of the English language, while the eighth required some further information for the satisfaction of on court. There had been 22 applications filed for hearing, 18 with C. F. Tuer, K.C., Acting Clerk of the Peace, and the other four with H. Clifford, through the usual channel, Four of the appli- cants on Mr. Tuer's list failed to at- tend the hearing and of the 14 present eight had their applications approved, five postponed and one deferred.

In sentencing Mrs. McKenzie to three months on each of the two counts laid against her, and to which she had previously pleaded guilty, the magistrate said the case looked like "a deliberate fraud" and that it was a problem what to do with the woman in the circumstances. Mrs. McKenzie said she had two children, at present living in other places. The terms will be concurrent and will date back to the time of arrest, which means the accused had already served eighteen days when formal sentence was passed on her. In the case of her husband, who had pleaded not guilty, the bench said there was no evidence against him, this after the Crown had produced two witnesses on one of the charges. Mc- Kenzie, who also had been held in cus- tedy for almost three weeks. was ac- quitted by the court, but was picked up immediately afterwards by Lance Corp. Jones from Kirktand Lake and taken there later in the afternoon. Acting Crown Attorney C. F. Tuer, K.C.. told Magistrate Atkinson he was informed by Corp. Jones that McKenzie had been missing fr¢in the Army since September. 1942. The couple have ben married five years, the court was told. When the case was called on Friday, Mr. Tuer said he had no evidence to offer in the case relating to a cheque for $20 pur- porting to bear the signature of Geo. Wall, no witnesses being in court. On the other count, involved a cheque for $25 and allegedly bearing the signature of W. E. Madill of Har- ley township, two witnesses were pro- duced. In each case, the cheque was made out to Mrs. Ellen McKenzie and been cashed New Liskeard stores, it is said. Madill told Mr. Tuer that he had not made out the cheque purporting to bear his name, nor had he signed it. R. R. Woods. who cashed it, said he knew Madill but not his signature, and had Lance which had in accepted the cheque without question. It was presented by the woman. v'ho endorsed it. A man was witn her. but witness did not get a clear view of him, he told the court. Neither witness was questioned by McKenzie. LAKE TEMISKAMING GETS WINTER COAT ON DECEMBER 13TH Monday, December 13th, is the date of the freezing of Lake Temiskaming this year, just four days earlier than it | took on its winter coat in 1942. Con- open water could be seen Monday morning, but throughout the day the sections clear of ice gradually lessened and so far aS could be seen there was a complet e covering about the time dusk set in. Present indica- tions are that the ice will stay for the winter, the exceptionally hard frosts having made a firm covering that is not likely to be shaken up by winds. The lake shed its coat of ice on May 7th this year, leaving a period of seven months and six days clear siderable MISS JOAN JOURDAN WINS BIG PRIZE AT ROTARY CLUB FROLIC Miss Joan Jourdan, a comparative newcomer to Haileybury, won the $50 War Savings Certificate awarded as first prize in the big drawing at the Rotary Club's annual Christmas Frolic in the community hall on Saturday night. The drawing climaxed two evenings of entertainment during which some hundreds of people braved the storm and cold weather to attend the event and the sponsors are well satis- fied with the results. Members of the club said this week that the returns, which will be devoted to charitable and patriotic purposes, were all that could be expected considering the bad wea- ther, and the work of the service or- ganization would be well advanced as a result of the event. In addition to the main drawing, there were many prizes awarded, mostly in the form of Christmas tur- keys. There were bingo games, all the usual wheels and other devices which have become familiar at affairs of this nature and good entertainment for all comers. The thanks of the club are extended to all who assisted and at- tended. ad OBITUARY erececes WILLIAM HENRY JAGO Word of the death of William Henry Jago, for many years well known in the North Country, and a former resi- dent of Haileybury, reahed local friends on Tuesday, Mr. Jago passed away in the Royal Victoria Hospital at Barrie, but particulars of his illness have not been received.

"Happy" Woods, Blackwall street resident who keeps close tab on any unusual occurrences in the com- munity, reports this week that a fairly large bird, which he belives ty be a starling, came down his 30-foot chim- ney and, with the timely aid of Mrs. Woods. was released in the basentent. She heard the noise in the chimney and removed the clean-out door to in- vestigate, when to her surprise the bird flew out. It was later captured and placed in a box with a screen top. but managed to escape and when last seen was alive and apparently not) Ws suffering, although badly scared. ree "'lcurious part of the event, as repo:ted hy Mr. Woods, was the fact that there was a good fire on in the kitchen stove at the time. Some food and water were placed where the bird could eas- ily get at them and it was planred to get it out of the basement as soon as possible, something that vwras likely to prove difficult.

GETS ENEMY HELMET AS WAR SOUVENIR AFTER THIRD TRIAL At the third time of asking, a New York woman at present visiting in the Temiskaming district has received a war souvenir, in the form of a Nazi soldier's helmet, sent to her by her hubsand from the Mediterranean zone THURS., DECEMBER 16, of the conflict. The helmet was for- warded by Major Thomas Levin, a doctor serving with the United States medical services overseas, to Mrs. Le- vin, who is staying with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. A.
