HAY, A Shocking Occurrence A shocking occurence way tracks within the town limits drew attention of citizens Monday morning, when a young man was found horribly mutilated lying be- tween fhe rails. left arm had been cut off when the unfortunate youth was found by one on the rail- - of the trainmen. While still conscious he was im- mediately taken to Dryden hospital, where everything that kindness and skill could suggest was done to relieve his suffering, but nothing could save his life, and he died"Tuesday morning. He gave his name as George Mould, of Margate, England, where his moth- er and two sisters are living. Arrange- ments have been made for the funeral on Friday. : The young man had been riding orn a fr eight, and evidently fell off whilc the train was slowing up for the station. A considerable sum of money was found in his possession. It wil be recalled that a year ago, almost tc Both legs and the Hallowe'en The Union Church hall was cer- tainly a scene of beauty and excite- ment when the junior and senior classes of the Sunday School held their annual Hallowe'en party. Near a hundred of the young folk and their friends were in attendance. The cos- tumes were much above those of for- mer years in their extremes of pretti- ness and ingenuity. And then of course there was the grotesque. The party was highly honoured by the visit of Madam Zelizianaskivith, who told fortunes. This was a sur- prise for she was not seen coming by |. train. However it transpires that she came into town by the old-fashioned Mother Goose airplane--an old broon:. She must have left by the same means as she came. : And then there were "THe Hats"; 'eft over from the anniversary supper. When the young folk got through with these, there was little left for 'urther reference. And then the fun --the games were a riot. a day, a similar tragedy under practi- cally the same' circumstances happen- ed a short distance from the same place.

The final connection at the Town Hall was made in so efficient a manner as hardly to inter- rupt the service. INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS Industry in Ontario today is facing a serious situation in the increasing number of accidents reported to the Workmen's Compensation Board. It appears that there were 50,411 acci- dents, or which 418 were fatal, report- ed to the Board in the year 1922, while for the twelve month period ending 30th September, 1923, there were 59,351 accidents reported by in- dustry to the Compensation Board of this Province, and of these 3875 were fatal. he = decrease in fatalities is worth while noting but the increase of an average of practically one thousand each month is something in which the community is interested and something to which employer and em- ployee alike should give careful thought. It is a fact that prevented and it is accidents can be also a fact that too many accidents are happening today. Management and men should jointly lend a hand in a campaign of carvefulness- and help to cut the heavy i burden that accidents have laid upon indus try in this country. | AVOIDED LOSS OF LIFE . To the presence of mind of Engin- eer Joseph Denby is due the fact that there was no loss of life and but few serious casualties in the wreck of Can- adian Pacific passenger train number four, eastbound, on Friday morning of last . week, seven miles. west of Sav- anne. His attention being. attracted Lo a rattling noise behind his locomo- tive, he looked back to discover that part of the train was off the track. Realizing that part consisted of wood-* en coaches which would be telescoped by the heavy steel coaches in the rear, ~ he opened the throttle wide, when the > couplings between the third and fourth car broke and locomotive = and three cars plunged ahead at a Pieak raté of speed. The quick action on the part of en- gineer helped materially to reduce the danger of deaths. When a hospital train arrvived from Fort William with several doctors and nurses the injured had been made as comfortable as pos- sible in the observation and other cars.

White, Professor of Forestry. dk ok A xk Our forest resources will last us a goodly time yet, but it is significant that the curve of our lumber produc- tion has had a downward slant ever since 1911. Why travel through the bitter end before entering upon. plans for the future? We might with pro- fit realize on the experience of other people. The economic results of tim- 1 ber mining are inexorable. We ecan- not escape these results any more than any other nation. Why not look after ourselves, and the work can be done more easily and more cheaply now than later. We are particularly for- tunate in that in the main the land is publicly owned; our governments do not have to buy it back from pri- vate owners, as in the eastern United 'States, before beginning to grow tim- ber crops. We Must Spend to Savei-- By the growing of timber crops I do not mean planting trees, but the' putting the forest land to continuous use. The most urgent move towards such a policy is to concentrate still more on the work of protection of our forests from fire, Adequate protec- tion of Canada's forests can mever be accomplished with the appropriations for that purpose made today; it will require twice the expenditure at least. It can never be accomplished without the co-operation of every one who enters the woods. And it can mever be ay without the disposal of logging ash along the more hazardous a of movement. But the real expensiveness of our forest fires is less the timber they destroy than the trees they prevvent from growing. They wipe out the on- coming forests which would replace our disappearing virgin timber. TI% is imperative that we give the young growth on our cut-over lands a chance, if we are to have a basis for perman- ent properity, both locally and nation- ally. We should, without delay, seg- regate all our large areas of young coniferous growth, designate them as reserved for our future needs, 'and thoroughly protect them." Of late years there has been a greatly increas- ed interest in the matter of how long ouy supplies of lumber and pulpwood The information would make little or no difference in our rate of cutting. The timber is mature and only the pressure of price will slow up the consumption. To take an in- ventory of our timber resources would be of little value unless accompanied by a decision to make use of the esti- mated duration interval in taking steps [DRYDE N-- to guarantee the next crop. a LEY Oi i-Cooled™ Engine i The only Perfect Engine on the market 'TRACTORS CLOVER HULLERS SEPARATORS OIL PULLS BURNS KEROSENE Lowest Operating Cost on Test Ont.

In these days of scarcity of horse and man power the heavy farm work such as discing can be done most speedily and economically with a Case Kerosene Tractor. The 10-18 or smallest Case Tractor can pull an 8 ft. double action dise harrow set to full'depth. Busy farmers can work the "iron horse" day and night if necessary. Don't forget that Case tractors operate over dusty fields without dust entering eyi- inders. The Air washer fully protects the Motor, The all cut steel spur gears are fully enclosed and run in oil. The weight of the Case 10-18 is only about 3,400 Ibs. this, with the liberal sized tires prevents soil packing.
