AND MIDLAND COUNTIES HERALD ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO The highlight of the evening was delicious chicken dinner prepared by Mr. William Mills. L. M. Frost, K.C,, and Liberal Con- servatiVe candidate, for Victoria and Haliburton was present and spoke a few words of the popularity of Jim and wished him eveiy success in his new venture. During the evening Mr. Harvey Balfour read a lengthy address while Mr Harold Fever made a presentation to Mr. Thurston. Jimmie thanked his many friends for their kindness. where the. throng gathered around sang songs and made merry. Little children cannot be held ac- countable for their actions; they can- not be expected to take care of them- selves in traffic. Drivers must think for them and protect them. Eldely persons are at an reQUal disadvantage The mind may be clear but the foot- steps falter and the necessary nim- bleness has left their limbs. Drivers must look out for them, too, if need- less highway fatalities are to be prevented. There is a severe indictment of reek less driving to be found in these figuresâ€"a charge of apathy, if not of gross negligence. Last year, 26 toddlers up to four years of age met death in automobile accidents almost as soon as they had learned to talk; 23 of these are wee pedestrians who perished even as they were learning to walk. 'I\vo out of every three persons 65 years and over who departed from this life in taffiic accidents last year were on foot when their fatal mom- ent arrived. a The diceâ€"cup is for daredevils who willingly be; their cash on the cap- rice of the ivory cubes, but in that giddy game of life and death which is Ontario’s traffic lottery, everyone has a stake, willing or not.

This is unusual as the other district fairs all reported decrease in attendance this year due to the infantile paralysis Ther aces were very keenly con- tested and the times were: 2:321/2, 2:151/2 and 2:12“. James B-egg' of Lindsay was the started. DICING WITH DEATH Richard Hall was second in the three heats and third money went to Tilly the Great with a. fourth and two thirds in the three heats. Lawful Parole, owned by OSSle Dagenats, Lindsay was fourth and Jean AX- worthy, finished two heats, was fif- th. Three heats on the race track at the Bo-bcaygec-n fair were greatly en- joyed by a large crowd of people who witnessed the entertainment before the grand stand. Ginger Dirtect won the three heats for first money. Both Mr. Gamble and his son were away fom home and Alvin Camp- bell returned to the field to find his father slumped against the binder. The horses had not moved. Mr. Gamble and his son, George were returning hOme at this time and, with their assistance, Mr. Campbell was carried into the house. A doctor was summoned, but life was extinct. Mr Camgbell had been in poor health 101' thel ast few years. He wa sin his sixty-fifth year and is sur- vived by his widow and son.
