HAILEYB Subscription Rate: $2.00 per year HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO Vol. 48; No. 28 Home and School Enjoys Finnish - Program, iuesday Members and guests of the Home and School Association at their regular meeting on Tuesday night felt that they had enjoyed a brief trip to Finland. Mr. O. E. Walli, Principal of the Provincial Mining School, as guest speaker gave a resume of 'his recerit five weeks tour of Fin. land, birthplace of his father and home of many of his relatives. With excellent color projections of his trip from start to finish, ~ the audience followed-with inter- est his course from its beginning at the airport in Montreal, thru Finland and Lapland and home via Denmark, Holland, Scotand and Newfoundland. The a*e-way trip was accomplished in 22 hours flying time. Mr. Walli was surprised to find English so widely spoken in Finland, most people in public being quite fluent in this lang- uage. From his pictures of homes, apartment hotels and lux- ury shotels one would gather that the standard of living there was very high. His pictures and lescriptions of the several base metal mines he visited were ex- cellent and Finnish mines look surprisingly like those of Cobalt or Noranda. Social legislation is = very advanced in Finland, Mr. Mr. Walli said, and remarked that in this country, the first in Europe to give women the vote, there are now 29 women in its parliament of 200 members. Industrial sites, mining erties and public grounds are beautifully landscaped. Tie churches are beautiful and some, rebuilt since the war, are in an architectural style more moaern than usually seen in our country. Mr. Walli was especially happy io be able to visit the home where his father was born and find it occupied now by a cousin. In Lapland, where he had his picture taken-with a herd of rein_ deer he travelled 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle. He was sur- prised to find at a government camp there that lady employees looked very familiar wtih Ameri- can hairdo's and corduroy slacks. Mrs. S. Bond thanked Mr. Walli for his interesting address Finnish refreshments provided, through the kindness _ of Mrs C. F. Lowery and Mrs Wise- man were served after the meet- ing. At the business meeting which preceded the address, the presi- dent, Mrs. H. Jenkins, was in the chair and School Principals Mr. Cassidy and Mr. Wiseman intro- duced their staff of teachers to the parents.

Special G Esta Blackout on Entry Card THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18,th, 1952 Legislators Welcomed Here; Mayor Raps Grant System Sixty members of the Provin- cial Legislature have come and gone from Northern Ontario. Led by Hon, Welland S. Gem- mell, Minister of Lands and For- ests and by Hon. Philip Kelly, Minister of Mines, the travellers were welcomed to Haileybury on Friday afternoon on the last lap of their tour. At a luncheon at the Hailey- bury Golf Club, the Town ship of \Coleman, the Haileybury Chamber' of Commerce and_ the Town of Haileybury joined forces to entertain the illustrious body of the peoples representa- tives. President of the Chamber of Commerce J. E® McDonough introduced His ~Worship Mayor Cooke, who officially welcomed _the guests. "It is very gratifying," said thé mayor, "to the municipalities of Northern Ontario to have such a large representative body of the Ontario Legislature visit us on our own doorsteps in order to better understand us and our problems. We are the newer part of the province and it is easnv understood that for most ot you it is your first*time in our North. We hope you haye liked what you have seen and heard and that from now on when you hear names such as Hearst, Matheson, Englehart or Haileybury you will have a mental picture of us, which will more or less personal- alize your dealings in our affairs." Mayor Cooke struck a serious note when he momentarily lashed out at the grant system. "We feel", he said-that the giv- ing of grants is custom made for the older, more populated areas and, like Johnnie's suit, altered the best way possible for the Northern youngster. Personal_ ly, I feel that the grant system is a most vicious affair which will eliminate the municipal level of government, which is the actual basis of our democracy". The Mayor closed his address by extending a sincere welcome and expressed the hope that their stay in the District Town would be an enjoyable one and long re- membered. Reeve Bill Martin of Coleman spoke to the members, giving If the speeches were unanimously cut short, they made up for it in en- thusiasm--the tour was an hour behind schedule and town time at New Liskeard and everyone Was anxious to get the show on the road once again and_ visit points of interest in the commun_ ity.

Temiskaming's M.P.P. Bob Herbert spoke briefly on the suc- cess of the tour 2-d Chamber ot Commerce president McDonough closed the happy festivities at the club saying that "this has been a great get together. In a serious vein, he pointed out that "it was a rare treat for us to have so many foreigners under one roof', We are developing zreat mines here" he said.' We havea new Minister of Mines and we intend to assist him in every way possible. "We are going now on a tour of the Provincial School of Mines and the Morissette Dia_ mond Drilling Company", he con- tinued. "I have a personal inter_ est in the Provincial School of Mines because I was fortunate enough to be one of the first to enrollin 1912. Today it is a far hege4 and more efficient school than was ever dreamed of due largely to the efforts of the prin- cipal, O, E. Walli.
