Ads- head, Rorke Avenue, had a nar- row escape from death on Mon- day afternoon, when he was _ hit on the street near his home by a motor car. The little boy was crossing the street and passed be- hind a coal wagon when the mo- tor car, driven by Mr.-A. S. Mac- donald, caught him and threw him back over the mudguard and he fell on his head on the pave- ment. He suffered a rather bad cut on the head and was shaken up severely,but up to yesterday evening no serious injury had de- veloped. Mr. Adshead states that the af- fair was purely accidental. Mr. Macdonald had no time to either stop his car or dodge the boy, as he came out suddenly from be- hind the wagon. The motor car was brought to a stop as soon as it possibly could be and the driver did all in his power to save the child. Mr. Macdonald had _ his little daughter with him in the car. The little boy was taken imme- diately to the Red Cross Hospital and a.doctor summoned. After an examination, it was considered best to bring him back to his home, where he is being taken care of since. He is getting along nicely and it is thought that there are no serious injuries. skein io swathoreis Road is Marked from Here to Ville Marie Travel on the ice of Lake Tem- iskaming is now safe for the win- ter, according to the usual signs. On Monday of this week Ville- Marie men who run stages be- tween that point and Haileybury made the trip across and marked out the road with trees as is the custom each winter. There is not a great deal of traffic so far but the road is open and the ice safe. .The recent falls of snow have jinterfered to some extent with \the skating on the lake, although on New Year's Day there were a few out in spite of the cold and storm.

The reeve is W. J. Dagenais, a_ well known merchant of North Cobalt who was elected during the year to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the former reeve, Mr. W. J. Post. Mr. Dagenais' name was the only one placed in nom- ination on Monday when the ratepayers met at the township offices for that purpose. The council will consist of 'Mes- srs. Neil D. Mc Isaccs, A Totten, Chas. Peterson and Olaf Neilson, the former three being members of the council for 1928. The fourth member of that body, W. F. Plaunt, was also nominated but dropped out of the race, his place as representative of the West Road section being taken by Mr. Neilson. The Choice of candidates appeared to be very generally satisfactory to the ratepayers present at the nomin- ation meeting. Alonzo Totten was the only nominee present at the meting. He told the electors present that the township's financial state- ment showed that everything was in good shape and extended his thanks for the support accorded him. He promised his best ser- vices during 1929. There was little discussion at the meeting only one or two matters being talked over. Chief among these was the Housing Commission situation which apparently has not bee an unmixed blessing in the municipality. Some of the ratepayers were of the opinion that an arrangement might be made with the government for a revaluation of the houses and permission for the municipality to dispose of those which had been abandoned by the former (Continued on Page 4) but they CARSON'S For the same quality, goods delivered should be higher in price than Cash and Carry, STORE NEWS are not!
