Thus can you be as- sured of making regular collections _ locally or at distant points, with the courtesy due those with whom you transact business and thé efficiency is bad; but or really know poisy vehicles, and occupy more of the road than they realize, e in a narrow road such as was being used for the detour. This is not an apology for the truck driver, for far too quently they seem to be very unconcerned for the public safety or convenience. But there is a possibility that the truck driver did not know he had been the cause of a fatality. pug Cod Liveroll © + Extracted from selected and strictly fresh ~~ Cod Liver, the finest product on the market "0 $126 a bottle Morrison's Drug Store ge ote Ontario WE SERVE TO PLEASE Try our Bread, Buns, and Confectionery, and you will be pleased. ~ E.

Mr. Ernest Pye, an employee of the Jupp Construction Co., gave evidence at the inquest. After describing the finding of Mr. Moore and giving him such care as was possible, he said: "Two large closed cars drove up, a man got out of each, but they declined to take the injured people to Port Perry." ; There may have been perfectly good reasons why these auto drivers refused to perform an act of kindness to persons in great distress. But human kindness requires impulsiveness in times like these. To stop to count the cost when a life is in danger is cold-blooded. an Order in Council was issued con- firming the appointment. . ~~ Mr. McGibbon was at once notifi Attorney-General of Ontario, who "Toronto, 5.20 p.m., J; A.

John enlisted at Prince Albert, Sask, 21st September, 1914, and served in England and France until he was discharged in April 1919. He then came back to Utica where he had spent a number of years as a boy and shortly afterwards married Miss Constance Sonley of lot 7, con. 4, Reach Township. The funeral on Tuesday, Oct. 11th, was very largely attended, and much sympathy was extended to Mrs. Sutherland and her twd sturdy little boys, Robert and Thomas, and also to the father and mother and three brothers, Hugh, of Alberta; William and Thomas of Oshawa, and Frank Sonley, of Whitby, and Mrs. Horn, of of Saskatchewan. ------P-- MYRTLE STATION Mr. Elmer Cook has equipped his home with a new Radio.
