MANILLA NEAR "Bill" Coburn, probably the best known maintenance man on the Vic- toria County road system had a nearly fatal accident recently, when the car he was driving turned turtle. Coburn was proceeding south and going down Edward's hill just south of Manilla, the car got out of control, whether from mechanical de- fects or a flat tire is not known. The car made two complete somersaults. AF See IOC PSL oR EE ; a SER Sa Coburn was shot out through the top on the first turn and 'when the car came, to rest after the second turn it was on him. Whe H. C. Moore, who lives at the scene of the accident re- moved Bill from underneath the rear bumper, he was unconscious, but re- covered before medical aid arrived. Examination showed three broken ribs, several cuts and bruises but no serious injuries. > POLICE PROBING DESTRUCTION OF RURAL MAIL BOXES Provincial and County Police are in- vestigating the case of vandalism which occurred recently, when persons destroyed ten rural mail boxes on the Brock Road and the South Concession of Pickering. The offence was com- mitted about midnight on Saturday evening, and several of the owners were aroused by the noise but were not suspicious of what was taking place. Investigations are not yet com- pleted, but the authorities are con- fident of apprehending the culprits at an early date. About a year ago, a similar occurrence took place and the offenders were brought to justice. Lu TS THE YEAR -\T SEEMS LIKE WE COULD AFFORD MORE.

AT THE WARDEN'S PICNIC "(Oshawa Times) 'the picnic and banquet tendered by waraen George B. Johnston, to mem- pers of the Coynty Council and their \adies, in Cannington's beautitul park on ulvic Holiday, was maae memor- able by the tact that at two o'clock'in the aiternoon MHoporable George S. nenry, rremiexr or Ontario, in the pre- sence of a distinguished gathering, cut the silk ribbon that: tormerly opened 1or trame two mies of concrete pave- ment on County Road No. lu, which connects Lannington with King's Highway No. 1%, better known as the whitby-Linusay Highway. this pave- ment, the objective ot Cannington vil- age lor many .years, was authorized py the County Council mn June and was completed a tew days ago by the Jupp Construction Co., of" 'L'oronto, with UD. J, khean, county road superin- tendent, as engineer. 1t is a very fine piece ot work and in tuture years will bring a greater measure of 'prosperity to Cannington. 'Lhe cost of the work was $46,000 and will be borne jointly by the Untario Government and the county of Ontario, 'The occasion was considered a red letter day in Cannington and the citi- zens joined freely with Warden John- ston, their popular and progressive reeve, in the celebration. Premier Opens Road The Prime Minister arrived at the intersection ot the two highways at two o'clock -and- was welcomed by warden Johnston, W. E. N. Sinclair, K.C.,, M.p.P,, for South Ontario and Liberal House leader, and members of the County Council and County offi- cials. He. was presented with a pair of gold scissors by Warden Johnston, As the ribbon was cut and 'the road declared open, Premier Henry stated that it was a connecting link with the great highway system of Ontario with which as Minister of Highways some years ago he had been more actively NEW PAVEMENT OPENED BY | "We'll be there at 2 o'clock" INS held up for a crew. where granary partitions Bill's timely notice.

Leopold Macaulay, who was now enjoying a holiday and could not be present on this occasion, This new pavement, said Premier Henry, was but another evidence of the co-operation between the counties and the. Province in the development of good roads, and to the village of - Cannington it was highly significant in that it provides for them an outlet and direct connection with one of the main Provincial Highways of the Province. - Later Premier Henry spoke again at a gathering of hundreds of - people from the village and district which was held in the beautiful riverside park at Cannington, at which Premier Henry, W. E. N: Sinclair, Dr. Peter McGibbon, M.P., for Muskoka-Ontario, James Blanchard, M.P.P., for North Ontario, and Warden Johnston, were the principal speakers. Premier Henry paid eloquent tribute to the pioneers of the rural settlements over a century ago who hewed homes out of the virgin forests, built their plank roads, and made the great highway system of Ontario possible. Nothing in the Province contributed more to comfort and happiness of the people than good roads, and the Premier felt sure that the millions invested in the highway system would in the future bring more than adequate returns. He hoped that the day would not come when the highways would be aban- doned for air travel. He congratu- lated the. County of 'Ontario on its in building a pavement which connected Cannington with an important Provincial Highway. <> - a ZION Mr. I. A.
