& ESTABLISHED 1904 Jaileyburian-Cobalt Post Vol. 57 -- No. 24 Haileybury; Ontario, Thursday, August 17, 1961 5c. COry. Tri-Town Boards of Education Seek-Tech- Vocational School Cohalt, Haileybury and New Lis- keard Boards of Education met laSt Friday evening to discuss the need and possibility of having an area Vocational and Technical school, and decide a location if there was affirmative thinking on the!'dther two points. 'The pros and cons of the project were- thoroughly discussed, and there was no doubt in the minds of those present that such a school is needed. Board:members pointed out that many students attended school who had no intention of studying a pro- fession, and lingered only long en- ough to comply with statuatory laws which rule when they may leave school and go to work. Many of these have _ distinct qualifications and liking for skil- led trades and no opportunity to make a start on these until they have completed the required time at purely academic studies. With the need for the school agreed upon, the boards next ex- amined the economic side, and felt that the 100 percent grant for school rooms from the Ontario Depart- ment of Education was sufficient to make it financially practical for a small community: to tackle. Following a discussion regarding location, the boards unanimously agreed that the school should be built in New 'Liskeard; primarily because it is the centre of 'stu- dent population in the area. All boards agreed to allow their stu- dents to attend this school. The school must draw from a pro- jected 1965. area High School en- roliment of 1000 pupils and must be an addition to an existing High School to meet Department of Ed- ucation requiréments. To further the plan an area Ad- visory Committee will be formed which will include a member from each of the boards and three mem- bers from industry in the area. This committee will study local needs, in the field here, and then confer with the Department regard- ing subjects to be taught. The New Liskeard Board. will meet soon with New Liskeard coun- cil seeking their approval of the project and the selling of deben- tures for the cafeteria and. gymn- asium which will be part of the school equipment. If an agreement is reached here, the Board will then approach the Department of Education for ap- proval and employ an architect to prepare plans. Currently there are more than 100 Ontario municipalities without Technical-Vocational School seek- ing permission to build. The proposed school, -when built, will draw pupils from Temagami to. Elk Lake. McGarry Is Mad At the Cobalt Council Who should get the job of re- painting the Cobalt town water standpipe? The council recently gave the contract to a Toronto con- cern, and two angry Cobalters turned up at a special meeting Tuesday evening to protest. Gordon Tasse said that the job should have been advertised, but he admitted that the council had asked him to submit a tender. Jack McGarry said that he had 25 years experience in the work, including tank and chimney paint- ing for the biggest mines in the |country. He blasted the council for not advertising the job so that he could bid. Councillor Tessolini asked Mr. McGarry what equipment he had to do the work. "T have 5,000 feet of rope," Mr. MeGarry said. "And what else?"' "T have anything else I'd need,"' Mr. Tessolini wanted to know Planning Board For Cobalt Expecting a boom, Cobalt's council doesn't want to miss the boat. Mayor Fulton Purdy calied a special meeting Tues- day night to set up a town plan- ning board. "It should have been done 50 years ago,'"' the mayor said. Mr. Purdy said that there are many problems, particularly involving land use, new build- ing sites and possibly redevel- opment of existing areas within the town which need careful study. ' ' The council just doesn't have 'the time to give these things the consideration they need," Mr. Purdy said. Town clerk Bob Bond. said that many problems facing the council today could have been avoided by some sensible plan- ning, and that many other mat- ters could be referred to a plan- ning board for consideration before the council acted. After some discussion the the council agreed unanimous- ly, and the town clerk was in- structed to write the depart- ment of planning and develop- ment to get the necessary by- laws. what paints Mr. McGarry would have used, but Jack the angry steeplejack said that was his busi- ness. Mayor Purdy said that the coun-| cil may have made a mistake ir failing to advertise the job, but the council had discussed whether anyone in town might be qualified, and had not realized that Mr. Mc- Garry was in the business. Mr. Tessolini warned that the tank is in bad shape, and that a first class job has to be done or the town will be faced with another major expenditure. Campsalls Lose No hit -- no win may be the epitaph for ~"New Liskeard Campsalls. who must win in Kirkland Lake on Thursday if they are to stay in the playoffs against Joe Dash Raiders. The Electricians were held to three hits on Tuesday eve- ning, and Gord. Christo, the team's leading batter garner- ed them all. Larry Hillman fanned 12 and walked one for his one-runner. The run was scored in the fourth, on Chris- to's double, a sacrifice fly and a passed ball. The Raiders bounced on the' offerings of Don McKnight in the fourth, eighth and ninth innings for seven runs. Two er- rors at cruciai times helped with his downfall. The teams meet on Thursday in Kirkland and if Liskeard wins there will be a final game here on Saturday. Residents of 'Tri-to = iy Sees see + a Mts, We 3 wh were mystified to see a large redwood log rolling through the towns this nde 'week on its way to Three Rivers as a tourist attraction. The object is truly a giant redwood log - from California, but it has been hollowed out to make a comfortable 4 room trailer. The log sports a swing slash on the side-which it is estimated to have received in a storm 300 years ago. -- WOW WHORE RRR <N .

Coroner's Jury Rules" Girl's Death Accident © A verdict of accidental death was returned Tuesday by the coron- er's jury at the inquest into the death of i4year-old Jacqueline Perron of Notre Dame du Nord. Jacqueline was hit by a car in Haileybury Sunday, August 6, and died in hospital the following day. She was struck while walking on the East side of Rorke Avenue. Doctor A. Beland of New Lis- keard who attended the girl said: that she had a broken leg and head injuries, Death was believed to be due to a cerebral haemorrhage. The three young girls walking with Jacqueline at the time of the accident said that they didn't see the car until it was almost on top of them. 'Mrs. Emma Cuillerier, driver of the car, who resides at 18 Third Street in Cobalt, said that she was driving at a moderate speed. Mrs. Cuillerier stated 'that she had changed down to second gear, and couldn't have been travelling at more than 20 miles per hour. She intended to turn right off Rorke Avenue to visit the hospital. The only adult independent wit- ness, W. M. Leslie of Matheson, stated that he was driving about 70 feet behind the Cuillerier ve- hicle. He estimated his own speed at 25 or 30 miles per hour, but said that he was gaining on the Cuillerier car. Mr. Leslie said that he saw the group of young girls on the should- er of the road. Then, he said, Jac- queline looked back over her shoulder, and took two steps right into the path of the Cuillerier car. The jury recommended that the sidewalk on the east side of Rorke where the deceased was walking, should be extended south to the town. line. Athletic Field /At Haileybury Haileybury may have a> first class athletic field in the near fu- ture if plans being discussed here go ahead. ; : A meeting was held in the coun- cil chambers Tuesday night with representatives from many groups in the town interested in sport. Those represented included the town council, Rotary Club, Board of Education, "Canadian Legion, Mining school and interested citiz- ens. Those present agreed that what they would like to see, would be a field big enough to handle any track or-field event, with adequate space for rugby, soccer and base- ball. ; It was thought that if the tower would donate property on the south side of Florence Street adjoining the present mining school playing fields, there would be a sufficient area to meet all needs. Florence street where it runs by the mining school would have to be closed, but it was thought that this might be an advantage to the school and no disadvantage to the town. The considerable area owned by the town to the south of Florence would have to be cleared and graded, but no fill would be re- quired, as would be the case if the town owned land to the north were used. Phil Hoffman, MPP for Temisk- aming, left for Toronto Wednesday' to sound out government depart- ments which may be involved. Not the least of his task will be to see if there are any government grants available, { oe i tg a ir ei SSeS } Fa Sees RSS SERS
