He swerved his car, but there was not room enough to miss the track en- tirely, and his wheels were on the track when the train struck him, grind- ing the auto into matchwood, the im- pact throwing him clear of the can- some twenty yards. The train was brought to a standstill, the conductor, other train officials and eye-witnesses of the accident all rushed to the aid of Mr. Higgins, and were overjoyed to find him able to rise from where he had fallen, also conscious, and af- ter an examination, no serious injur- les. The opening of this road by the Tretheway people was indeed it splen- did move, coming as it did when trans nortation "and traffic to and from Wes- ton, Mt. Dennis and West Toronto was completely redirected, but at the same time the advisability of making it a wally safe road should be considered. Mr. Tretheway and his officials are to he congratulated on their piece of work-ooo, .it not now go one step further? Bsr presentation to the Town- ship Council these improvements should be forthcoming. Mr. J. Edwin Higgins, of Scott Ave., Islington, had a most miraculous es- cape from death early on Monday morning, when the car he was driv- ing was struck by .the C.P.R. Goder- ich passenger train and completely de- molished, Mr. Higgins suffering sev- eral bruises and minor injuries. Auto Smashed to Kindling Wood --Driver Escapes With Minor Bruises and Shaking Up I Despite the fact that the new Holm- sted Drive has been a big, boon to mo- torists and tratfic in general during the tearing up and laying of tracks on the Weston Road, it has, neverthe- less, also proved to be ti. rather danger- ous thoroughfare. In the first place, the soggy ground which flanks the pavement on either side is bad, owing to the fact that there is no curb to prevent the motorist from stopping off the pavement, which is a very eisy matter when passing another car, and esneciallv at nieht when glaring head- lights add to this danger. In the sec- ond place, the curves are dangerous, as one car must hug right to the edge in order to keep out of harmi's way, should another car happen to be rounding in the opposite direction. The heavy rains of last week showed all too plainly a third and perhaps tl greater danger with the darkness of the nights and the added precaution token hy motorists of keeping their lights on full flare it was almost im- possible to pass without one of the vehicles coming to a. standstill. This not only made it awkwnrd and incon- venient in many cases, but to the,dri- ver, who was not familiar with" the road it was very dangerous indeed. tn fact there were several cars off the pavement on Thursday and Friday nights, and so deeply. imbedded in the soft ground that service trucks had to be summoned to their aid. After look- ing at the proposition from these standpoints. it does seem important that something should "he done to Cots. rect these conditions. The installation of lights and the puttinx down of stone, well rolled, on either side of the pavement would be a great help. $lhllfllll MAN'S glNl1lllll ESEAPE Absence of Lights, Curves and Soggy Ground Make New Road Dangerous Enclosed please find cheque for 850 and the counéil would like to express at this time their, appreciation of the good work that your brigade has done in the township during the past year. We trust that you will see your way clear to continue to serve the district surrounding Weston. Sincerely yours, 1Veston Volunteer Fire Brigade are to be congratulated on the community spirit displayed by them during the past your in that not only have they served most loyally the town at all times, whether by day or night, when called by the sound of the local fire alarm, but have also gone outside in- to the adjoining township, North York. and given help on several occasions. This service, outside of the verbal cxpressions of thanks and apprecia- ti0n received from time to time, both from the citizens served and the towm ship authorities, has, during the past week, been tendered in a very tangible form by the North York Township Council us indicated by the following note: l Mr. George Fisher, Fire Chief, [ Weston," Ontario Dear Sir:--- llllljllffiill DRIVE PHDVES UANBEHHUS North York Twp.

The teams. from Peel, Perth, Went- worth and Oxford and South Simcoe were anxious to get a win on this tro- phy, since Wellington and York each had two wins. while a win for either team this year meant the cup being their permanent property. a real thrill, which he felt to be par- donable pride, when you realized those who knew you best had confidence in you, and this confidence and trust he hoped he would never betray, and would at all times endeavor to serve his people to the best of his ability.
