EXCELLENT CONDITION Many good words have this sum- mer been expressed on the condition 0! Garafraxa street, travellers espe- °|filly remarking on its well-kept condition as compared with the U‘Iproughfares A running _ through other towns. A few weeks 330, .W" published a news item regarding he yisit of a couple of Royal Bank officials to town in which they made favorable remarks as to the condition of the street. and last week a commercial traveller told us we had one of the best main streets in an of the towns he visits in this istrict. Besides being smooth and in good condition, our main thoroughfare is practically dustless since t e calcium chloride was ap- plied this spring. Just how long this new dust layer will be effective remains to be seen, but so far, it has worked out well. The past week, the Board of Works, of which Mr. W. J. McFad- den is the chairman, has been en- gaged in putting Durham hill in better shape, and though the con- tract is a big one, the heavy rains washing the dirt down the hill and leavnng the stones exposed, we have no doubt Mr. McFadden will be as successful in this as he was on the main roadway through the business section. In its present condition, it. should not cost much to keep it in good repair, and the only manner in which this seems possible is to keep eVerlastingly at it. using more brains and less gravel. Though not by any means on full time on the streets, Mr. McFadden has made his work tell well. and the results ob- tained have more than justified his appointment as Chairman of the Board of Works by the Town Council. ' Good Work Done by Board of Works In Placod Iain Strut Especially in Pine Condition. _ Rev. and Mrs. Peters of the Queen Street United Church leave on their hulidays this week and. after spend- ing some time in Hamilton. will at- tend .the Northern Summer School at Port Elgin. In August. Rev. and Mrs. Smith and family take their hohdays . ‘~ Next Sunday the services will be taken by Rev. Mr. Smith and will be held in the morning in Knox church and in the evening in Queen street church. During the month of August, the services will be in charge of Rev. Mr. Peters. While dirt roads such as we have in town can not possibly be made to equal the concrete, we do think they can be kept in shape at little more expense than the cleaning and up- keep of a pavement would amount to, and we have no big initial in- vestment. In. mired Vollétt ofâ€"Bontinck Ser- iously Injured Monday on High- way South of Town. Becoming frightened at a passing motor truck on Monday afternoon about 2 o’clock, a horse driven by Mr. Alfred V'ollett became unman- ageable, upset the buggy and ran away on the Prmincial Highway just south of the town near what is known as Burts hill. Dashing down the road, the animal badly wrecked the buggy but, was itself uninjured. LEG BROKEN WHEN HORSE RAN AWAY In the buggy with Mr. Vollet was his wife, both of whom were thrown to the ground, and while Mr. Vol- lett escaped with only slight injur- ies, Mrs. Vollett was not so fortun- ate and suffered a broken leg. The accident, we are told. was caused when the truck took up more than its share of the road and caused Mr. Vollett to pull. out too far to the steep hank so that when the horse jumped, the buggy upset and threw them out. The horse, which get loose from the buggy, stopped after running a few yards down the road and was soon captured. The driver of the motor truck stopped and. we understand. assisted in conveying Mrs. Vollett to the home of Mrs. T. Grasby at, McClin- ton‘s Corners and later came on in to Durham and notified Dr. Jam- ieson of the accident. It was found that Mrs. Vollett was suffering from a broken leg, and she was taken in to Durham where an X-ray was taken and the, injured limb set. Mrs. Vollett was afterwards con- veyed to her home in Bentinck we understand she is doing as well as could be expected under the cir- cumstances. ‘ L Durham’s Two United Churches De- cide on UniOn Services During Vacations of Pastors.-- Commence Next Sunday.

All the ministers of the riding are also included in the executive. Dr. Oaten’s Address Dr. J. F. Oaten, speaking about the present position of prohibition in the province, stated that last year in the face of a proposed alter- ation in the U. T. A., the organized prohibition forces in the province were unable to control the situa- tion. Prohibition is a moral issue and ought not to be a political is- sue. In 1874 our fathers separated the grocery from the liquor busi- ness; now they are united again. There are now 5,000 permits issued for the sale of 4.4 bear, and it is stated that many of the restric- tions on the sale are to be removed‘.‘ The beer is not popular, because the old beer-drinkers have lost their taste in the nine years of prohibi- tion. and the old whiskey drinkers do not take to beer. We are train- ing a legion of customers for the bootlegger in the near future. PRMBITION RALLY HELD LAST FRIDAY It is now proposed to lift pro- hihition out of party politics alto- golhor and enroll a league of voters who will only vote for those candi- dates for political or municipal hon- or who are known prohibitionists and who will claim their freedom from party domination on prhibition questions. This is the method by which the Eighteenth Amendment was written into the constitution of the United States. The annual Sunday "school picnic of St. Paul’s church, Egremont, was held Tuesday afternoon in Mr. Earl Matthews’ bush and was quite a success, upwards of 150 being pres- ent. Besides the usual games and races for both the older folks and the children, football and softball games were played between No. 12 and No. 2 school sections. In the football the score was a tie, 0-0, but in the softball No. 2 won by quite. a large score. An excellent afternoon was enjoyed by all, though the cool weather marred the pleasure some- what. Do the wets want beer more than we want prohibition for the proâ€" teetion of our families? The meet. ing endorsed the plan as recom- mended by the Ontario Prohibition Ifnion and referred it to the ex- ecutive committee of the riding for immediate action. S'l'.

NOON TRAIN The application of the emer- gency brakes in time by Engineer Robert Moorhead possibly saved an unknown woman from being ground under the wheels of the C. N. R. noon train last Saturday as she walked unconcernedly across the track in front of the oncoming train. Unlike Casey Jones, who “opened up the trottle for the Promised Land,” Bob closed it quickly and applied the emergency to keep from sending the woman of Saturday on a trip up the golden stairs. Unknown Woman Had Narrow Es- gapo f_ron_1 Being Run Down by The near accident happened at the crossing south of town on what is known as Harrup’s Corners side- road, and it is not the first time that the woman in question has been in the danger zone, according to assertions of the train crew. So far as we can learn, this is the third or fourth time that this same woman has crossed the track ahead of the train, and if the crew had not been on the lookout for her last week, she would have most assured- ly__been caught._ of the Methodist congregation here ten or twelve years ago, who has for the past five years been .stationed at Drayton, has been appomtedto a ghapge at Woodetoqk,‘ pgeactnng hjo Rev. W. A. Matthews preached his farewell sermon Sunday evening, in the 'Ifnion Methodist Church, and the church was filled to its capacity with a congregation that was re- gretfully bidding him farewell-"as a pastor. The church had been taste- fully arranged with quantities of flowers, lending fragrance to the scene. The pastor took as his theme “The Father’s Home,” and as there are 12 gates in that house, making ample provision for all to enter, no matter what nationality or tongue. Those gates are of pearl depicting that through the sutferings of Christ, a way was made for us. A choir of 26 voices gave several sei- ections. Mr. Alfred Andrews took the solo part. Never in the history of the church was there such regret expressed at‘ the leave-taking of their pastor. The church is in a prosperous condition. None of the. train crew could identify her, and from their de- scription, The Chronicle, too, was unable to surmise who she might be. Wo would warn her, however, that it is a very dangerous prac- tice to cross a track ahead of a train, and if persisted in, will eventually lead to disaster. FORMER RESIDENT HERE LEAVING SHALLOW LAKE The following from the Shallow Lake correspondence of The Owen Sound Sun-Times will be of inter- est to many Chronicle read‘ers. Rev.

The pres- ence of representatives from every congregation in the Presbytery, to- gether with many visitors, added enthusiasm to what was the most optimistic meeting that local mem- bers. ever had the privilege of at- tending. The problems of reconâ€" struction, which some feared might be perplexing, smoothed themselves out as reports from the congrega- tions showed reorganization almost completed. Sessions are being built up again, Women’s Missionary So- cieties, Ladies’ Aids and Sunday schools are all flourishing in every charge. New officers and new teachers are settling down to the work with a zeal and faith hitherto undreamed of. The “bush” that has to some been enveloped in smoke these years now burns brightly in Saugeen.

Especial interest was taken in softball mes. and while there may have een many poor decisions given by the umpires and the players were not up to stan- dard in the ethics of the game, all enjoyed themselves and retired for supper, tired, but happy.
