i l ' 2: i, ae ¥ z = a 88 marks, ~ ESTABLISHED 1904 laileyburian-Coba Vol. 57 -- No. 10 ~ Haileybury will Vote On Sunday Movies The right to show Sunday movies in Haileybury will be decided in a plebiscite near the end of the month, it was decided at a meet- ing of town council on May 8. | Oniy a simple majority vote is needed for the acceptance of Sun- day entertainment. Responsibility then lies with the Haileybury Council to draw up _ restrictive times for shows. The request for the, plebiscite was brought to council by Robert Ashford, manager of the Strand Theatre -in Haileybury. According to provincial law the plebiscite must be advertised for three straight weeks before it is brought to a vote. Rev. C. Lapointe, Roman Catho- lic Parish Priest, and Rev. W. Churchill, Penticostal Minister, went on record as opposed to the) move. Rev. Lapointe objected to holding Sunday movies that might interfere with the afternoon mass. In addition he believes mid-night movies are a factor in demoraliz- ing youth. Police Chief Roy Feeley stated in a 'etter to Council that he | would have to spend too much time | in supervising theatre traffic. Ac- | cording to the policeman there | have been numerous complaints | from residents in the area about| noise after the last show. Monthly Meeting Of Cobalt Council Routine matters occupied most} of the Cobalt Council meeting on| Tuesday night. Councillor Duncan | Sopha expressed some concern about the location of the new sub- division. He is afraid that if too many houses are built ciose to Sass Lake, it may lead to pollution of the town's water supply. Mr. Sopha suggested that the town take a look at land close to the townsite: road area. The town of Latchford sent its cheque for $225 in payment of the volunteer fire department's work at the fire which destroyed Burns' motel at Latchford. The council agreed to pay the Community Center Board six month's rent in advance. The CP & T committee was granted permission to hold a tag day on May 27. The by-law increasing water rates by 20 per cent was passed. Haileybury, Ontario, Thursday, May 11, 1961 Should movies be voted in, Chief Feeley requested the performances he restricted to the months between September and May. He felt dur- ing this period, in winter, a Sun- day showing would be most appre- ciated. Mr. Churchill wanted the people to defeat Sunday movies with a liberal dosage of Christian spirit. Mr. Ashford announced he would be in favor of calling off ail but four or five midnight shows fall- ing on holidays, should the plebis- cite support Sunday films. Mayor Arthur H. Cooke em- phasized that council had power only to authorize the plebiscite for films. The 1,000 Haileybury adult voters must decide the outcome.
