A third motorist is said to have got into trouble down near Guelph when his car went into the ditch. When he was away getting assist- ance. some sneak thief came along removed his spotlight and some other accessories and disappeared, Another Durham man was going down an icy grade south of Fergus when his bus commenced doing the Charleston. He landed into the ditch. Charlestoned there a minute, and came back out on to the road- way again. The chariot is said to have turned over twice, but the only damage was a cracked front wheel and a couple of minor dents in the body which will be easily re- l :'a i red. Durham motorists were no more fortunate than those of other towns, either. One local car took a header into the ditch a short distance south of Arthur, turning over endways. The remarkable thing was that no one was badly injured, and the car, with the exception of the fenders. escaped undamaged. In a trip from Durham to Toronto, one motorist Friday counted no less than eight wrecks alongside the highway, and on Saturday another motorist saw no less than five new ones. Last week will be a memorable one to Ontario motorists especially those who were so unfortunate as to run 011’ the road and into the ditch from skidding on the icy pavements. These accidents were not confined to any particular area, either, but were general all over Ontario.

It is said that open confession is good for the soul and from what we hear the good people of Bentinck seem to think that a real live elecâ€" tion campaign makes for better government than when the Council is returned year after year by ac- clamation.

McDonald, while George Magwood will in all likelihood line up against the present Deputy Reeve, Robert Grierson and endeavor to oust him from office.

FOREST MAN Asked if the recent decision of the County Council to do no more .paving or connecting link work would affect Durham, Reeve Bell told us it decidedly would not. Durham, however, was not to get paving. The roadway from the Garafraxa street corner east on Lambton street was to be of ma- cadam, which was claimed to stand up as well and with a minimum ex- pense. The work on this roadway would commence next spring as soon. as the weather was fit and] would be rushed to completion. 1 During the past month the South Grey Registry Office has been given a good coat of paint inside and out, and now Reeve Bell informs us that the old stone floor is out of commission and will be taken oiit and a new one of concrete laid im~ mediately. This was a necessity as the old floor. originally of flat stones laid in mortar, had given out, the stones were loose and the cheapest way out of the difi‘iculty seemed to be to take up the stones and have a solid concrete floor take its place. A new linoleum is also to be laid. Exected That Work Will Be Pro- ceeded With at Once.â€"â€"Lambton Street Work Commences Next Spring.

Two years ago last spring he came to Durham to live with his granddaughter. Mrs. G. R. Padfield, who took up her residence in town immediately following her marriage. Mrs. Padfield formerly resided with her grandfather in Mount Forest, who was much attached to her, and on the occasion of her marriage deâ€" cided to make his home with her. Mr. W'lliam Patton, for the past two years and a half a resident of Durham, passed away in Grace hos-' lpital at Detroit, Mich., on Novem- ber 16. Mr. Patton was in his 78th year. and was ill only about two weeks. Born in Dundas in 1850, the late Mr. Patton came as a small boy to Mount, Forest, and can be said to have ‘spent his life in that town. He was a bricklayer and contract-‘ or by trade and many residences and public buildings in Mount For- est are the result of_ his handiwork. TO BE REPAIRED A young child of .Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Blake of Bentinck received a broken nose on Tuesday of this week when a cupboard in the home upset and fell againsc it. The little sufferer was brought to Durham where the injury was dressed. The 'Woman’s Guild held their regular meeting in the A. Y. P. A. rooms yesterday afternoon and be- side the routine business it was de- cided that in conjunction with the A. Y. P. A. of .Trinity church the societies present Mr. and Mrs. Harry Kress, recently married, with a pierced silver cheese and cracker dish. The injured man was brought in to the Durham hospital, where his injuries were dressed by Dr. D. B. Jamieson. The patient is going as well as expected and may be able to leave the hospital in the course of‘a week or so if nothing further turns up. Little is known locally of the particulars of the accident except that Boran was accompanied by two companions. The party had evi- dently finished their hunt and were preparing to depart when, in put- ting his gun hack into the car it was accidentally discharged, the charge entering his left arm and shoulder, and so severely injuring him that it is not thought he will ever recover the use of arm or Shoulder. ' l Dominic Boran of Guelph was ad- mitted to Durham Hospital Tuesday suffering from gunshot wound re- ceived that morning while hunting rabbits in what is known as the long swampeast 01‘ Priceville. Seriously Injured When Gun Was Accidentally Discharged.-â€"Acci- dent Occurred Ba‘st of Priceville. F I‘nquiry from Mr. Wilson late yesterday afternoon elicited the 1n- forrnation that his son was doing as well as could be expected and that barring complications he would soon be able to return to his home. Friends of the young man in town will join with us in hOping for a quick recovery, and in con- gratulating him that his accident was not more serious. “Bill” as he is more familiarly known around town, is a popular young man, one of the stalwarts of the local inter- mediate hockey team, and his in-â€" jury is a matter for regret amongst a wide circle of acquaintances. GUELPH MAN SHOT HUNTING RABBITS When the injured man was seen by Mr. Huestin the latter lost no time in conveying him to the home nearby and the doctor was sum- moned, who ordered his transfer to the hospital. It is thought the young man lay unconscious for pUSSIbly 20 minutes as he was not discovered until Heustin came back with ’his second load of gravel, when he was seen trying to make. his way back to the platform above. In the mean- Etime another load of gravel had come in, the engineer in charge being Dan McCallum. McCallum missed Wilson from his usual place, but thought he was down in the shop below, or at some other part of the plant. and dumped his own load. Luckily McCallum dis~t charged his load at another part of the trestle to that through which Wilson had fallen or he might have been buried under several tons of gravel, when he would most assuredly have been killed. Mr. Wilson was en ged at his usual occupation at t e trestle, his duty being to dump the cars of gravel as they are brought in from the steam shovel by the dinkey engine trains used for the purpose. He had dumped a load brought in iby W. Heustin, and was engaged on ~t0p of the trap door in cutting off some boards with which to make repairsto a small house up on the trestle in which he stayed between trains, and in which was a stove to protect him from the cold. The trap-door was at all times thought to be safe. but as it had not been used for some time it had evident~ ly worked loose from the continued vibration caused by the trains run~ ning out on the trestle. When he was engaged in sawing oil“ the boards it suddenly gave way, and percipitated him to the pile of gravel sixteen feet below. Appar- ently the fall to the ground did not. cause as much injury as the ironw trostlcwork, which he struck on his‘ downward course. as this is what caused the scalp wounds. {' What might have easily been a fatal accident occurred at the plant of the Durham Stone and Sand Company on Tuesday or this week' when William Wilson, son of Mr. Harvey Wilson, the superintendent of the plant, fell through a trap- door to the gravel below. As a re- suit the young man received three scalp wounds and a slight skull fracture. He was removed to his home and later to the hospital, where he is now doing as well as could be expected and is thought 3 out of danger. 1 RECEIVED BROKEN NOSE BADLY HURT IN FALL FROM TRESTLE WOMAN ’S GUILD MET ', NOVEMBER 24, 1927 . Reeve Armstrong was of the opin- ion that the old age pension scheme would be the solution of the whole difficulty, but that. if the Province of Ontario did not adopt that scheme then. additional accommoda- - (Continued on page 4) LLICIL BC 0 VP c Reeve Taylor was convinced that there were some people in the Markdale Institution who should not be there, feeble minded old peOple who should be in an asylum, and their removal would make way for others. Warden Holm said that the only thing to do was to send all who could not be taken in to other Houses of Refuge where there was room and let the county pay for their keep. , Reeve Taylor, of Osprey town- ship, stated that he had been wait- ing all week for this subject to come , up and 1t was he who started the flievsorks in connection with the manner in which Supt. Smith car- ried out his duties, and he instanced a case which came up a month or so ago xx hen he took a man who had been properly committed to the Markdale institution there but was g1uffly informed by Mr. Smith that there was no room, that the build- ing was full and that the Inspector had told him not to take in any m01e inmates. After talking the matter over for awhile Reeve Taylor said he suggested that as thej weather was cold the man might be brought inside and when he came in Mr. Smith at once recognized him as a man who had been in the home on a previous occasion and stated also that he had money. His bank book was secured and it was ascei tamed that he did have some money, and when this information .was forthcoming Mr. Smith had no difficulty in making p1owision for him. My Taylor pointed out that if this was the attitude of Supt. Smith, that there would be dis- crimination between the man who had money and the man not so for- 3 tunate then there should he an iHn- . vestigation into the matter. wanted to know what was oing to be done with the over-supp y of inmates which might be sent there. â€"â€"- Reeve Bell, of Durham, informed council that there were several places in the province where such people as had the money to pay for their keep could be taken care of without going to the houses of reâ€" fuge. Reeve Gardiner of Holland town- ship moved the Council into com- mittee of the whole, and proceeded to express his opinion, stating that Hon. Lincoln Goldie, Provincial Secretary, was to be highly com- mended for the work he was doing. He pointed out that there were many people in the insane asylums of the province to-day who had no business hem?) there, but had been placed there y relatives who justl wanted to get them out of the way, and it was this sort of thing that the Provincial Secretary was en~ deavoring to clean up by sending these old people, who were perfect- ly sane, back to the Houses of Re- fuge in the counties to which they belong. Friday afternoon‘s session of the Grey County Council was featured by some caustic criticism of the at- titude of Supt. Alex. Smith. of the Grey County Home for the Aged and lnfirm at Markdale, several of the Reeves voicing their Opinion in no uncertain manner. The matter came up when Reeve Armstrong. 01' Han- over, Chairman of the House of Re- fuge committee, presented his sec- ond report of the session, in which there was a clause which read as follows: “That the letter dated Sep- 'tember 22nd 1927, from the Deputy Provincial Secretary be filed, as we object to Grey County patients in; Ontario Hospitals for the insane, being on partial recovery, trans- ferred to Grey County House 01“ Refuge, as we have no means of caring for that class of irresponsible persons.” !
