NORSHORE SENTINEL "Keeping Watch on the Great North Shore VOLUME 1, NO. 32 NORSHORE SENTINEL NIPIGON. ONTARIO WEDNESDAY MARCH 29, 1961 NOT OVER 10c LIBERALS BLAST ANTI-AMERICAN TAX The Conservative government I was strongly criticized for “lack of leadership" in the development of iron ore resources in Northwestern Ontario Saturday at the annual meeting of the Port Arthur Liberal Riding Association. Newly-elected vice president Joe Douglas of Heron Bay expressed grave concern over the new export profit tax on foreign investment in Canada, calling it a ‘serious blow to the development of this area.' Mr. Douglas termed the new tax move a form of ‘false nationalism. He was supported by newly elected president Barton Trembley of Port Arthur. “The north shore area was almost entirely developed by American capital," said Mr. Trembley. The conservative governments both at Toronto and Ottawa have gone to sleep by allowing large iron ore mining companies to lose interest in the development of the great iron ore deposits in this district...it could mean a death blow to the Anaconda project. Failure of this project could mean a terrific loss to this area. A resolution requesting “that there be a new riding carved out of the present Port Arthur constituency was unanimously passed by the meeting, attended by some 75 delegates from all points of the district. The resolution was sponsored by Jerry Poirier of Beard-more and Gaston Champagne of Marathon. The riding, one of the largest in Canada, extends from Port Arthur on the south to Hudson's Bay on the north and east from Armstrong to Hearst and Wawa. Barton B. Trembley of Port Arthur, was unanimously elected president, succeeding Dan Rudiak of Geraldton who held the post for two consecutive years. To give greater representation 'on the executive to district points, four vice-presidents were elected. They are J. Douglas, Heron Bay; Ted Velanoff, Geraldton; Gaston Champagne,. Marathon and E.C. Everett, Nipigon. Mrs. Jessie Spooner of Port Arthur was named secretary-treasurer of the association.

BENEDICKSON SPEAKS IN NIPIGON, BLASTS CONSERVATIVE 'MISMANAGEMENT' Financial critic for the Opposition in Ottawa, William Beneickson, MP-Rainy River charged the Progressive Conservative Party with ‘gross mismanagement of the financial affairs of the nation.' Saturday in Nipigon. Mr. Benedickson was guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Port Arthur Liberal Riding association. Mr. Benedickson said that within three and a half years of Conservative administration the Unemployment Insurance Fund has been depleted by $600,000 000 and yet “the Tories brag in one of their pamphlets that they have given this to the people in welfare benefits. " The over-all increase in the debt mortgaged the future of every Canadian by $500 for each family of five. “But that is hot all," said Mr. Benedickson. “The increase in the cost of carrying the debt amounts to $10 per month out of each working man and that is for the increase in interest alone. The government is even borrowing the money to pay the interest on the money which the government owes." Said Mr. Benedickson: “The Conservatives bragged about increasing the Unemployment insurance benefits by $24,000, 000 in one year, but in the following year they increased the premiums and took in an additional $74,000,000 and while they brag about increasing the Old Age Pensions by $9 per month. The Conservative government the following year raised our taxes for old age security purposes by $2 for every $1 they had granted by way of increase." Regarding Douglas Fisher, MP, Mr. Benedickson said: Mr. Fisher has advocated amalgamation of the two railroads under a state monoply," Mr. Benedickson said. “I asked Mr. Fisher how many fewer railroad employees in his constituency there would be if both railroads were amalgamated under state ownership. Mr. Fisher evaded my question and again Mr. Fish-er evaded the question.

Despite Monday night's freezing rain which made highway 17 a treacherous sheet of ice, OPP officials in Nipigon Tuesday reported an accident free week. Cpl. Ted Broughton would like to compliment district residents on their fine highway record of late, asking that the same caution be used over the Easter weekend. A community park at the south entrance of town is in the planning stages for Beardmore. Canadian Legion officials have made application to purchase property for the purpose of creating such a park this summer. Chairman of the park committee is F. Richards.

The emergency brake is an important item in your car especially in hilly communities like Nipigon. Take the case of a young woman last week who got out of her car, walked down the street and then noticed a car, just like hers cruising past her on the street. It was hers! It stopped against a telephone pole. Damage was $300. BIRTHS March 19 - Mr. and Mrs. Muloine, Nipigon, a boy, 9 lb. 4 oz. March 20 -Mr. and Mrs. W. Legacy, Hwy. 17, a girl, 6 lb. 10 oz.
