©BONO WEE ELY TIMES CRIPPLED (Continued from page one) .rod friendships; these we have shared •(almost equaly, the 3 of us. Winters we skated, with John Paul bukdded , into his sled; in summer we played tennis, and he ran for the halls that went over the backstops. Now, for a time at least, this togetherness can- not go on. Big Paul must take his recreation, and I what I need for a sound, refreshed mind, apart. I am writing things as I think them outâ€"grouping along a blind path. 1 must leam to be all things' to; John Paul; 1 must know what to >ay to him when there are no longer drugs to dull Ms consciousness and he plucks at hif plaster oast and. begs. “Mummy, take it off. It’s so heavyâ€" please, Mummy !” Can I help him bear that weightâ€"help him lie still and not let Ms spirit corrode in the interminable months ahead of us? That night nurse had been to see if I was asleep. I heard her coming and hid my writing, feigned slumber. She eased John Paul to his1 pillows, gave a drink through his tube,; then stood and looked down at him so Joug I wanted to scream. ; What was she thinking| Perhaps she, too. thinks that surgery, that skilled care, are not •always merciful. iSthe’s gone, and I go over again and again that afternoon. I was sitting on the porch, sewing, John Paul was running his scooter down the sidewalk,; the gray kitten at his heels. The kitten made a swift dart toward the- center of the street. John Paul sprang after the kitten. He was off the curb before I could call. The boy in the car stopped and came back. He said straightfor- wardly to the police : “I was going 50 â€"late for a date.” He doesn’t know what he has done. He has come of- ten to the hospital to ask after John Paul; and this afternoon when he heard what the doctors had said, he wa!s relieved of all responsibility. “Gee, I’m glad. If he’d died now I’d have felt awful.” There is no ease against him; he has no money to lose. He is probably thanking his stars to-night that he got, out of it so easily. 1 am not writing just as John Paul’s mother; I am writing for all people who have had to suffer for this irresponsible crippling of some- one dear to them, who have had to rebuild lives1 as I shall have to. Is there no one to speak for the 50,000 crippled each year by some- one’s negligence? Is there no way of arousing the conscience of the drivers of this nation ? It is too late for my John Paul, but not for other child- hood, as yet whole, able, free.

Lunn Hard were Orono, Ontario BOWMANVILLE iOn Tuesday, 6th, many mothers will get a well-earned rest for a few hours at any rate when the school bells ring out, Mr. Dan .Douglas, -and old timer here some years ago, but now of Petetboro, was a visitor in town the past week renewing old acquaintances. Mr. Fred Bowen, Newcastle, and Mr. Milton, Elliott, Bowman ville, at- tended the funeral at Odbourg of F. J. McArthur. ex-M.P.P., a leading 'business man of the County town. We have never seen so many 'baskets of peaches and plums as has been brought into town this sëason. Every fruit store and grocery store have received many consignments. Very sorry indeed to leam of the affliction that came to the home of our old friend, Mr. John Tamblyn, in, the death of Mrs. Tamblyn. Our sincere sympathy goes out to the be- reaved family. Two fine pictures of our High School and Public School appeared in last week’s copy of the Statesman, but why not include the southward school as well. It is a fine building and certainly fine surroundings. Per- haps it will appear in the next issue. Mr. W. S. Percy, Toronto, spent the week-end in town the guest of his sisters, the Misses A. and R. Percy, Silver street. Mr. Percy is assistant manager of the firm, of Beach & Go., dealers in diamonds, jewelery and all in that line at 81% Yonge Street, Toronto. Tim Giafton had to put on extra buses on Saturday morning to carry the large number of people who wish- ed to see the Toronto Fair; also on Monday (Labor Day) Music D'ay, a large number of musically inclined hied themselves to the city to take in the program. And speaking about schools, notice the number of new school boobs on view in our book stores, also the number of copy books and suchlike in various stores in town. Why not let the stationers cater to all that be- longs fo school sundries? The profit is not so large in this line of business. Why not let every man “stick to his last,” Fifty years ago the little old Meth- odist church, situated where the Bounsal Marble Works are today, was used as the High School where many protracted meetings were held in the old days and1 many converts were made, some to backslide, some to carry on until the end. Just the same it was a, power for good in this community. Quite a number of cars are passing through daily with their boats on trailers or strapped to the top of the autos, -all signs indicating the holiday season is passing and all are getting batik to earth, again. Well, it has been a fine summer, but so short, and now it will be back to standard time and preparations for Thanksgiving and Christmas, t0 say nothing about stove pipes, house cleaning and var- ious other things in connection with running the affairs of living. Thieves , were busy in this town last week when several places were broken into and money taken. There were also some juvenile trouble in this line but we have had no par- ticulars of this part of the trouble. Nowadays, in town, city or country, it is not safe to leave any place with- out a guardian of some sort on the premises: We sure have got past the old time way of leaving the door string on the outside. Bandits seem to have a general weakness to Tyrone’s gasoline sta- tions from the number of times those places have been robbed. It is rather peculiar that no matter what is introduced for the benefit of man- kind it is taken advantage of by those of the lower order of humanity to miake a living out of it, and like dogs'that worry and kill: Sheep, they, if caught, should be put out of busi- ness. Perhaps this would not be just a Christian idea, bu-t it was the only way it stopped cattle rustling and horse stealing in the. Western country some years ago and it is the only way now. Now that Sunday School1 Anniver- saries and also reunions of the dif- ferent pioneer clans have met and arranged plans for the next annual meeting, it will be in order to harken to the call of the chicken pie and goose dinners of the various churches in the land iand no doubt with a lul-1 between harvest and potatoes crops, likewise turnips, those goose and chicken dinners will be the order of the day or rather the evening, whether it is the chill of the fall sea- son or the turning of the countryside into a coat of many colors, -the chicken pie entertainment, seems to have more zest in it than the hot an- *>â€"* County and District News If plans materialize AIL,brook will hold a monster Old Boys’ and Girls’ reunion in August, 1939, Harold White was arrested in O'sh- awia on Thursday last charged with stealing an auto in Kitchener. iSummer activities at Fenelon Falls have been recorded on motion pic- ture film. A copy will be presented to the village following a public showing. All sales of raw milk in the Town- ships of Whitby and East Whitby will be stopped after October 1st, when the provincial law comes info force. A six pounds nine ounces small- mouthed black bass, the largest in- the history of the Kawartha Lakes, was landed by Rae McWilliams, of Peter- boro. during the week-end. Hound guilty of keeping JSjqupr for sale, J. A. Lonergan, Fenelon Halls hotelkeeper, was sent to jail for two months by Magistrate Campbell in Lindsay Police Court last Friday. Under the new amendment to the Criminal Code all slot machines in Qshaiwa are banned from being oper- ated, and on Friday last the ma- chines had all been closed down by the operators. Leo McGuire, of Port Hope, won the L. V, Massey cup in the pigeon, race from London to Port Hope, a distance of 163 miles. His pigeon flew the distance in 4 hours, 21 min- utes and 39 seconds. lOolbourg’s Labor Day Jamboree drew crowds estimated at 10,000. The big drawing card was the first grey hound races ever held there. In the evening a huge crowd lined College street to see the soap box derby. ATTENTION PARENTS MRS. W. O. LYNCH, A.T.C.M.
