"Train and Averts Death Alert Night Operator Saves Life of Unconscious Autoist b Quick Thinking-Wrecked Car Sounds Grade id if Crossing Alarm With No Train Tilsonburg. -- A winking flashlight stopped an eastbound express train just in time to avert a sure tragedy here' Sunday night. The train came to a 'halt a few yards from a wrecked auto, pinned beneath which the driver lay 'unconscious. Angus Scott, prominent Dereham farmer, owes his life to A. R. Preston, and to the chance that his car, dragged 200 feet by a freight train, came to rest on a switch which controls the grade-crossing alarm bell, Preston, who is night operator here for the Michigan Central Railway,! stopped his auto when the alarm bell rang at the North Boardway railway crossing about 10 o'clock.

The records must be what are known as electrical transcriptions, espacially prepared for broadcasting and must bé both produced and manufactured in Canada. The new rules which include the foregoing were an- nounced by Hon. Alfred Duranleau. Minister of Marine, late Saturady. They came into effect at once, and the intention is to again review the situation at the end of the year. After midnight and before 7.30 p.m. there will be no restrictions as to the use of records. Within the restricted hours n> transcription shall be played more than once in any one area. The minister re- serves the right to grant special per- mission to smaller stations in centres where few orchestras are available, to exceed the three and one-half hour limit, considered on its merits. 'The decision by Mr. Duranleau follows lengthy consideration by the experts in his department and him self. cast after 7.30. Mr. Duranleau heard representations from musician unions objecting to the free use of records and from broadcasting stations sup- porting the use of records. In a statement issued the min- ister said he confidently expected that the production and manufac. ture on the records in Canada would give employment to Canadian music- fang and Canadian record makers, me seman emeeesamc Midget Car Record Broken in England Brooklands, England--The British motorist G.

Down through the ages has come the echo of that desire to DO, which stirred the heart of that Stone Age boy, making his first spear--of the Grecian Youth, train- ing for his first great race in the Arena--of the Roman Boy, watching his father's preparations for one of Caesar's expeditions--of the Norse Boy, setting forth on the first voy- age of adventure--of the Page, buckling on the armour of the Knight he served--of the young Colonist, for the first time setting foot on the soil of his new Homeland--And now the LONE SCOUT! And what IS a Lone Scout? We all know what a Boy Scout is! We know that Boy Scouts belong to the finest Boys' Organization in the world, that they are bound together as brothers in one fraternity, irres- pective of class, tongue, creed or na- tionality. We know that they meet together frequently in Troops under Scoutmasters, learn many useful things, have lots of fun and endeavor to help other people whenever pos: sible.
