TWO RAILROADERS KILLED AS HANDCAR HITS FREIGHT Two men were killed instantly and two others narrowly missed death 30 miles East of Schreiber Monday afternoon when the handcar on which they' were riding collided with a westbound freight train on the CPR mainline. Foreman of the four-man section crew, Frank Maronese, 52 of Schreiber and Peter Urbanski, 57 of Port Arthur were killed instantly by the crash. Two other Schreiber residents, Rocco Commisso and Alvin Kovacic jumped from the handcar at the last moment. They said that Mr. Maronese and Mr. Urbanski appeared to freeze when they saw the train rounding the bend. Members of the train crew were Ed Souci, Fort William, conductor; Gerry Godin, rear trainman; Wes Clemens, head trainman; Gus Krause, engineer and Ambrose McGrath, fireman. All members of the crew except Mr. Souci are Schreiber residents. CPR officials were at a loss to explain why Mr. Maronese took his crew onto the mainline. He had been issued with a lineup at 1p.m., a few hours before the crash. The accident was investigated by Constable Walter Cringle of the Schreiber OPP detachment. Mr. Maronese, a native of Italy went directly to Schreiber from Italy and started to work for the CPR. He was married to Annette Marsonet in 1936 at St. Dominic’s Roman Catholic church, Fort William, and they would have celebrated their silver wedding anniversary this year. He was a member of the Holy Angels Roman Catholic church in Schreiber and a member of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way. Surviving are his wife, two sons, Melvin, 224 S. Franklin St., Ft. William and Roy at home two daughters Geraldine and Marcella, both of 224 S. Franklin St. He was predeceased in Fort William by a son Eugene Gary, in 1943. Also surviving are a brother, Severino of Schreiber and a brother, Marcello of Italy. THREE PAPERKING COACHES Shades Of Chicaao Cubs Red Rock Paper Kings will have a definite ‘Chicago Cubs’ look this season in Lakehead Senior Baseball league play. Using the idea that a group of heads are better than one the Paper Kings have named no less than three coaches to handle the team's fortunes this year. They are Harvey Dunville, Larry’ LeSarge and Dick Seagris, all veteran players with the team. They replace Vic Seagris who voluntarily stepped out this year, Vic is now club secretary. The Chicago team in the National League, of course, started the new trend this season by replacing their single manager with nine coaches and an automatic brain computing machine. It is not known what or who the Kings will use in place of the machine. The team will be working out Sunday in Red Rock EXPECT NO BIG INCREASE IN NIPIGON’S MILL RATE Nipigon taxpayers .can look forward to approximately the same mill rate for 1961 as was prevalent during the past year. The actual rate of the tax will be officially announced Tuesday night at the regular semi-monthly meeting of council. However, there is no indication of any large increase from the present public school residential rate of 74.15 mills. A meeting of finance committee Wednesday night prepared for a special meeting of council scheduled for Thursday night. The mill rate will be set then. The present rates are public school residential 74.15, public school commercial 79.25, separate school residential 81.95, separate school commercial 87.05. It is expected that there will definitely be a drop in the separate school rate while indications are for an increase of up to one mill in the public school residential rate. Included in estimates this year is the extension of water and sewer facilities under the CPR tracks to service the proposed new Arena sub division. As soon as lots are sold this money will be recovered however. Approximately 55 percent of the tax dollar goes to education costs which will take up a three-mill increase this year. Half of this increase is due to the cost of the third teacher’s house built in Red Rock last year. The other half, roughly one and one half mills or $3,000 to $3,500 goes to general increases such as salaries, equipment etc. Cost of the development of the new Hospital sub-division is negligible this year as the township has already extended and paid for the water and sewer facilities.
