Because the entry is so large, permission has been obtained to use the High School Audi- torium for part of the program. This will provide more com- fortable accommodation for the many persons who attend to hear the contestants and hear the adjudications. The festival is one of the _Mmost popular musie events in fhe north, for contestants and audience. Cancer Campaign Nearing Goal "Monday night's biitz in the Tri- Tewn and Latchford areas gave a big boost to the district quota of the Cancer Society. Incomplete re- turns from the four towns show that approximately 75% of the quota was attained. Other returns from the rural main campaign and from those who were out-of-town at the time of the blitz should help to put the campaign "over the top". Lorne Woods, president of the Tri-Town unit, had nothing but praise for the 250 workers in the area. In part he said, "The Unit owes a tremendous vote of thanks to the four local organizations of captains and canvassers, who gave So willingly of their time to make the campaign a success. And to all those who contributed a spe- cial thank you from every cancer patient who will ultimately - feel the life-giving benefits of such gifts." Any who have not as yet con- tributed may make donations at the following locations: Mr. Fred Keenan, Latchford; Purdy's Hard- ware, Cobalt; P. and F, Hardware, Haileybury. The Weather More than 100 Legionaires from all over Northeastern Ontario paraded Sunday to the cenotaph at Englehart. The parade cul- minated the District K spring meeting. Above can -be seen the color party, and the New Liskeard Pipe Band which led the parade. Leo Deraiche Has Slogan "Get Rid Of Arnold Peters' Arnold Peters, MP for Temis- kaming, who tore a strip from the hides of Haileybury Council and Haileybury Mayor-Postmaster Art Cooke last week, was the tar- get for some hot shots when resi- dents of the District Town came to a slow boil. The voluble MP had-taken Hail- eybury Mayor and Councii to task for by-passing him in their search for the ear of the Federal Govern- ment. The town would like a new post office, and council asked de- feated Conservative candidate Fos- ter Rice to approach the Depart- ment on their behalf. Mr. Peters called the Cooke own- ed Post Office, a dingy squalid place, suggested that Mayor Cooke might be reluctant to lose the rent- al paid by the government, and .| wondered if Mr. Cooke was fully qualified for the job of postmaster. In -a well turned phrase or two, Mr. Cooke lamented that as a civil servant he was not permitted to comment on the.remarks of the Federai member. "But as Mayor of the town, I D.S.T.

Bee ioor course, 'don't know} "the difference, but while the an- imal world is content to eat and sleep by the sun, humans across Canada are busy trying to fool themselves by putting the clock forward, so that they get out of bed an hour earlier, without knowing the difference. ~- Locally, in New Liskeard, the counci has ordained that Daylight, Saving Time will go into effect ati12:01 a.m. Sunday, April 30, and -end 12:01 a.m. October 29. 'However, it 'isn't. necessary to - stay up til midnight to put the |t clock forward, it can be done upon going to bed. In fact, it doesn't - have to-be done at all if you don't - want- to; but remember to go to "church. at 10 o'clock instead. of - eleven, Sa ips don't change your clock.» ee few "years" ago. the editor: of "the Speaker ey his: dates slightly ---- mixed, with the result that many worthy citizens found themselves missing mass, and arriving at church half-way through the ser- mon. Just. to add to. the confusion, it shovid be pointed out that if you go to Alberta or Prince Edward Is- land, put your clock back an hour, if you have already put it forward to confirm with New Liskeard's laws. These two provinces stay on standard time all the year around. In Newfoundland and_ British Columbia, option, but Saskatchewan is- in a class by itself. Some Saskatchewan cities put their clock ahead, but others. have switched from Moun- 'tain: Standard to Central Standard Time, so that they. are one> hour ahead of Standard Time, all through the year. If you -are driving. to Port Ar-|- 'thur, Fort William or Windsor, you will get there in remarkably good |- time, but take an hour longer than]: you expect coming back. All three aréas stay on standard time. Chamber ' Daylight Saving Time|_ is compulsory without any local: would like to point out that our postmaster was appointed to the post fourteen years ago after pass- ing '"'cum laude', the examina- tions set by the department,"' said Mayor Cooke. Prior to taking his exams, Mayor Cooke spent four years in the army, three of them overseas. ' Mayor Cooke said that the coun- cil had never had any complaints about the post office or its ser- vice. He said that as landlord of the building, he should also point out that he first mentioned to the of Commerce that his lease expired next year, and that any subsequent action taken. by the Chamber to get-a new post of- fice was because he had given them the /information, when he could have just as easily kept quiet and tried to get the lease renewed. Another Haileybury citizen has boiled over, and now is launching a "Get rid of Peters', campaign. Leo Deraiche, who operates an appliance and furniture business, announced that he is so mad over the attack on Mr. Cooke, that he intends to seek the Liberai nomin- ation, and carry the fight against Peters to the polls. "My platform will be that Can- ada needs the Liberals, but Tem- iskaming certainly. doesn't need Peters," Mr. Deraiche told the Speaker.

District Legion Men Hold. Convention Delegates from Legion Branches from all over Northeastern Ontario packed into Englehart last Satur- day and Sunday. The Legionaires were gathered for the semi-annual meeting of Legion District 'K'. The district covers the area from Moose Factory to Temagami, and west to Hearst. The Legionaires, led by the New Liskeard Pipe Band, paraded to the Englehart Cenotaph Sunday af- ternoon where a. wreath was laid by the retiring district comman- der, Bert Moore of Kapuskasing, and Garth R. S? Husk, represent- ing the Provincial Command, from Ottawa. at Rev. F. R. Coyle, Englehart Le- gion Padre, conducted the short service. Foliowing the parade, Mayor Ruby M.

Clancy of Englehart was _|eiected deputy district commander, succeeding Mr. McChesney. It was agreed that the fall con- vention will be held at Hearst. It was resolved to petition the LCBO concerning present regula- 'tions limiting the number of times during a year that any member can take a guest into licensed Le- gion premises. The present regula- tion limits this to twelve times, and the resolution asked that no limit be set. Another resolution stated there has been a great increase in in- terest in the Legion's public speak- ing contests, but said that the pre- sent bilingual system is imposing hardships on contestants who can't understand each other's language, and on judges. It was aiso pointed out that new Canadians compete, but there are no provisions for their native language. The. resolution asked that either the bi-lingual aspect should be ended, or that a separ ate contest allowed for French speaking entries.
