Orono Boy'1s face Brother Saves Eyes, James Partner, 12-year-old. son of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Partner, Orono, is a patient in Memorial Hospital recovering f rom first degree facial bur1ns suffered in an unfortunate accident on Saturday. Doctors credît the quick thinking of the boy's brother, Harvey, age 13, with saving the Iad's eyes f rom serious damage. The boys were burning garbage in the yard in back of their father's business premises when James threw a closed paint can on the fire. It immediately exploded,- and the boy's head was enveloped in flaming paint. His bro- ther, Harvey, quickly grabbed a coat, covered James" head with it and smothered the flames. Both the boys' parents were away at the time. Mr. Partner, who has a plumbing and heating business was out on a cail, and Mrs. Partner was playing with her team in a bowling tournament. Young James was in such a condition of shock f rom the f ire that he hardly feit the pain of his burns. Mrs. John Forrester, accompanied by Miss Sharon Simpso n, rushed James to Memorial Hospital in her car. .

It would now appear that there will be no general trend to stay open Wednesday after- noon or evening, although as will be noted in some of the advertîsements, certain stores will be open for -business. Most stores will remain open until 9 on Thursday evening. Early meetings of the Chamber of Commerce will be held to see if agreement can be reached ahead of time for future pre-holiday periods.

TOURNEY - Eight teams will participate in a Midget All-Star hockey tournament here this Saturday, starting at 9 a.m., with finals at 7 and 8:30 p.m. These lads play an excellent brand of hockey and there should be 'plenty of excellent competition to keep fans on their toes. t - t t -. 1 HALFWAY - Rotary's Easter Seal Campaign has reached the halfway mark, not only in the time set aside for the project, but also in the amount contributed.

The special annual presentation ceremony took place at R. S. McLaughlin Collegiate Institute in Oshawa when Mrs. D. R. Gunn, the Ontario Provincial Commissioner presented the Cords. Winners from this area included Judith Cochrane, Nancy Dorreli and Elizabeth Thompson of Nestie- ton, Marlene Tomchishin of Caesarea, Judith Swain of Burketon, Gail Walter of Courtice, Eleanor McCracken, Elizabeth Powell, Beverley Rickard and Candace Storks of Newcastle. Their parents and Guide leaders also attended the im- pressive event. ti t t i. WONDERFUL - This morning the Editor received a letter that raised hopes f or the future purity of the English language. Enclosed was a clipped advertisement from The Statesman. Its heading was "Do you know a man that wants to progress in the Lif e Insurance Business?" "That" was stroked out and replaced by "Who". We can visual- ize at least three teachers who would be completely disgusted to see such an error in The Statesman. For once,- it wasn't our mistake, the copy came that way. t. i.t t t i.
