Haileybur ian-Cobalt Post ESTABLISHED 1904 Vol. 56 -- No. 31 -- Haileybury, Ontario, Thursday, October 6, 1960 Sc (ASIEN C roblems of North Discussed by Panel W. J. Barr, mayor of New Lis- ' keard and president of the North- eastern Development Association was chairman at a meeting of Northern Ontario leaders and gov- ernment officials held in North Bay last week-end. Members of parliament from Northeastern Ontario ridings were guests of honor at a luncheon. ar- ranged by directors of NODA. Following the luncheon several of the government members took part in a series of panel discus- sions under the heading of Region- al Development in Northeastern Ontario, with W. R. Thompson as chairman, and the following panel: Hon. W. J. Spooner, Minister of Lands and Forests, M. L. Troy, MPP, C. H. Lyons, MPP, and J. A. Habel, MP. "Immigration here and how much" had H. L. Trites of Bruce Mines as chairman and brought together Hon. W. J. Spooner, Mur- do Martin, MP, H. F. Weimer, F. M. Sagle and W. R. Thomp- son, directors. "Industrial and Agricultural De- velopment'? was chaired by E. C. Bovey. with Rene Brunell, MPP, Arnold Peters, MP, and John Full- erton assisting on the panel. At the meeting the "Buy North- ern" campaign was launched with the purpose of inducing consumers to. buy in the North and create jobs for northerners. A resolution which arose from the Jaycees of District 12, and which was passed at the All On- tario Jaycee Convention in Toron- to, May 22nd, requesting the Pro- vincial Government to set up a Regional Planning Office for the area of North Eastern Ontario be- came a partial reality Saturday. Representatives of the Depart- ment of Municipal Affairs Planning and Development Branch informed the North Eastern Ontario Devel- opment Association that the Pro- vincial Government will provide their organization 'with technical staff for the purpose of conducting surveys. of a planning nature at the regional level. These surveys will include economic stud- ies, transportation studies, and eventually it is hoped completion of topographical maps for this en- tire region. Mr. J. E. Turnbull, Chief Con- sultant, Department of Planning and Development, Trade and In- dustries Branch, noted that this move came as a result of requests from both the North Eastern On- tario Development Association and Public groups such as the Jay- cees. Miniature Football For Sports Fans A move to interest and train under twelve years and one hund- red pound youngsters in the mys- teries of Canadian Rugby Football started early in September, and this week-end, teams from New Liskeard and Haileybury will tangle in home and home games. The boys have been well equip- ped by those in charge of games, and are in no more danger of hurt than they would be in ordinary street play. They will get bumps, for sure, but nothing~ worse than what they have received in play and practice. The men who have dug up the money for the uniforms, and who have spent many afternoons and Saturdays training the kids are in- terested in instilling good sports- manship and fair play into their charges, as well as the important elements of team play. It's expected that a decent crowd will be on hand for the, games. Herman Belland and Phil Hoffman, MLA for Temiskaming look over the figures that made the Progressive Conservative _ candidate winner in last Thursday's ballotting. Mr. Hoffman and - Mr. Belland expressed their appreciation for help from workers and the strong support given by the voters. trained | Mayor W. J. Barr looks over the new 'Mobile Telephone Exchange just delivered to Northern Telephone Company. Explaining the purpose of the exchange are company officials J., B. Garrett, chief engineer and W. T. Walker, assistant general manager. It's all over now until the next time. Phil Hoffman of Temagami is the new MPP for the district, and the opposition is licking its wounds and grimly assessing the situation. The Liberals feel that their can- didate, Harvey Plaunt, gave the government a good run, and slight- ly increased the Liberal vote. The CCF are still wondering what hit them, as their vote decreased de- spite an increase in the number of persons who cast a ballot. The score was: Hoffman, P.C., 4,704 - Plaunt, Liberal, 3,825 Taylor, CCF, 2,538. The Hoffman plurality was 879 votes. About 78 per cent voted, with 11,118 casting ballots out of 14,244 eligible to vote. In 1959 the score at the general election was: Herbert Cn 432 Johnston, CCF, 2,989 Plaunt, Liberal, 3,210. In the byelection the most out- standing feature was the shatter- ing defeat of the CCF. The party workers are still trying to figure out what happened, and why the old CCF spellbinder C. H. Taylor got less votes than Clayton John- ston obtained last year. Only at Cobalt did the CCF hold a majority, getting 354 votes to 287 Liberal and 260 Conservative. Practically every other CCF stronghold collapsed. The Liberals eaptured New Lis- keard, MHaileybury _and Bucke Township. In New Liskeard the vote was 883 Liberal; 844 Consery- ative; 350 CCE: Haileybury also went Liberal, with 444 votes; trailed by the Tor- ies with 403 and 182 CCF votes. Running close behind the Liber- als inthe larger centers, the Tor- ies picked up their majorities in the rural subdivisions. Latchford, once strongly CCF, The Weather Week ending September 27, 1960.

Mr. Hoffman won a big personal victory in Temagami, gaining 324 votes to 136 for Plaunt and 66 for Taylor. Bear Island went Conserv- ative, with 34 to eight Liberal and five CCF. But Goward, just a few miles from Temagami, split three ways, the vote being 25 - 25 - 24. Temiskaming was created as a riding in 1898 and had had 10 Con- servative members, three CCF and two Liberals. The PC's have now won 14 elec- tions in Simcoe Centre since it was created in 1885. Liberals won eight times. The CCF has never held the seat. One election went to the United Farmers of Ontario, now defunct. Northern Telephone Has Mobile Unit . This mobile unit is the first of its type in Northern Ontario, and should it meet all expectations, will be joinéd by other units in the near future. Two other units of a similar nature are presently in service with other companies in Southern Ontario. The 20 foot mobile trailer was custom built by McGuiness Trailer Company of Peterborough; and the automatic dial equipment was sup- plied and installed by ETELCO of Canada Limited in Toronto. The unit was engineered by, and built to the specifications of the North- ern Telephone Limited Engineer- ing Department. Delivery time from initial order to final delivery was ten weeks. The mobile unit has been equip- ped initially to serve 300 subscrib- ers, but if need be, ean be extend- ed by the addition of dial equip- ment, to double this capacity. Tele- phone cables serving subscribers and power lines are connected from the outside of the unit.
