Solid snow- plow blades are affixed to the trucks, and there is a flange in rear which throws the snow to the side. The ro- tary plow is said to be efficient, but too slow. R. M. Smith. Deputy Minister, points out that the snOWplow blades are rais- ed several inches. leaving a layer of snow sufficient for sleighs, but which does not interfere with motor cars. In addition. there is a wide shoulder on Provincial highways. with plenty of snow. The trouble, where encounter- ed. is evidently due to warm weather melting all the snow on a pavement. Extensive Program The snow-clearing program includes the whole length of No. 2 highway. from Windsor to Cornwall, and the highway up to Ottawa, and out to Rockland and Stittsville. No. 3 is tak- en care of from Delhi to Fort Erie and Niagara Falls. and the Dundas High- way from Toronto to Clappison’s Cor- ners. From the latter point. the high- ways will be clear to Hamilton and through to Jarvis, on No. 3; up No. 8 through Galt to Stratrord, and No. 7 via Guelph as far west as Elginfield. Yonge street was to have been cleared I last season to Bradford, but was actu- ally open most of the time as far as Orillia. and this will be attempted a- I gain. as well as the road to Wood- bridge.

Believed to be the remains of Frank The Department has 11 snOWplow un- its of its own. and arranges for the services of 11 more from private truck- owners.

Scarcely any complaints of this kind. however. came to the Department, and The Department laid out for itself last season a job of about 800 miles, with half as much more in the “it possible” category.

As the stranger want- ed to get home, a speedy trial was ar- ranged with Magistrate Walker sitting in judgment on the case. After the Durhamite had pleaded guilty and put as good a face as he could on the ai- fair by explaining that he had found himself in Walkerton, penniless, gas- less and lightless, with 30 chickens and 16 miles from home, he was let go on suspended sentence and on agreeing to remit the costs of the action amount- ing to $3.25. like the course of Empire, west- ward, and then turned north up Peter street, with Constable Ferguson, Walk- erton‘s long-geared cop, gaining at every step and finally overhauling him at the Chinese Cafe.

DURHAM, ONTARIO, CANADA THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1928 After summing up the evidence on all four charges , Magistrate Laidlaw found for the Crown and Vollett was fined $25 and costs, amounting all to about $126. Inspector Woodward admitted that he did not know anything about the eggs except what he had been told by the Creamery 00., who had called him The court sat at 1 o’clock and lasted. until after 4, and considerable evidence was taken. In his evidence Mr. Vol- lett stated that the Rosedale Cream- ery Co. employees had packed the eggs themselves in his store, the shipment consisting of 48 cases of firsts, 10 cas- es of seconds and 20 cases of ungraded. Mr. Vollett stated that he was not preâ€" sent all the time that the eggs were be- ing packed by the Rosedale Co., and similar evidence was given by the clerks. There were four charges in all. one for shipping the eggs without being properly marked, another for using dirty cases; for having fresh firsts with an overpercentage below grade, and still another charge of having a case marked fresh seconds with an overpercentage of below grade. The evidence leading to the charge was obtained at the Rosedale Cream- ery plant, Kitchener, and according to the evidence a truck owned by the company and driven by Otto Pagel. had called at the Vollett store and lift- ed 87 cases ofoeggs. According to Pa- gel‘s evidence the company, of which he is the manager, trucker and general utility man, had notified Vollett of something not Satisfactory with the eggs and on the Durham grocer re- fusing to have anything more to do with them. he called in the Inspector and the charge was laid. W. J. Vollett, local grocer, was be- fore Magistrate Laidlaw Tuesday after- noon charged with four breaches of the Dominion Egg Grading Act. The charge was laid by this department of the Dominion Government through evidence supplied by Inspector Wood- ward. W. J.

The carrying of “stickers” on the windshield or on the rear Window is also prohibited, as it has been found that these interfere with the driver’s vision and in many cases have been found to be the direct cause of acci- dent. FINED FOR BREACH OF EGG GRADING ACT Motorists generally agree that it is a simple matter to have all headlights adjusted so that they will not inter- fere with approaching cars, and that when this adjustment is properly made, not only is meeting the apâ€" proaching traffic made much less dan- gerous. but night driving is not nearly so precarious, as the adjusted lights place the beams on the roadway where they are of some use and not up in the trees or in the face of approaching drivers. The motorist who persists in driving with only one headlight “burn- ing, or with tail light out is also to be prosecuted. We had a short conversation with Officer Stone the other day, and he in- forms us that though it is much against his will, and he has no desire to cause any motorist any trouble, he has no other alternative than to pro- secute. He has his orders and he must obey them. This action on the part of the High- ways Department has been taken fol- lowing the all too numerous accidents that have occurred this summer, the greater percentage of which have been , caused by drivers being blinded by the headlights of approaching cars. That 'this nuisance is merely a matter of having the lighting bulbs focussed and the lamps attended to, has been ascer- tained after a full investigation, and it is the intention of the Departfent to no longer let off the guilty ones with a warning, a practice generally ‘follow- ed in the past. This adjustment is neither difficult nor expensive, and as human life is to be more highly re-- garded than the small cost of having headlights properly focussed, instruc- tions have been issued to all traffic of- ficers to lay informations rather than issue further warnings. Strict orders have been sent out to all Highway Traffic Ofiicers in the province that from henceforth they are to vigorously prosecute all infrac- tions of the law regarding glaring headlights. In future traflic ofiicers are not expected or allowed to use their discretion in this matter, but must summons all and sundry who do not obey the law. Orders From Headquarters in Toronto Make It Imperative That Traffic 01'- ficers Summon All Whose Head- lights Do Not Conform With the GLARING HEADLIGHTS THE NEXT TO GO The Weather .During the past week the weather has been a little on the cool side‘ and fog on two or three nights.

The funeral was held Tuesday af- ternoon from the family home on Lambton street, and was very largely attended by townspeople and old friends from the vicinity. The ser- vices were in charge of her pastor, Rev. W. H. Smith. Interment was made in the family plot in Durham cemetery. The pall bearers were Messrs. R. Macfarlane, P. Gagnon, W. C. Pickering, J. Towner, W. R. McGow- an and W. S. Hunter. In 1897 the deceased was married to Mr. S. F. Morlock, who passed away ‘over seven years ago, and for a num- ber of years was prominent in the business life of the town. After his death, the late Mrs. Morlock carried on the business under the name of H. Morlock Sons, and it is still being conducted in the old stand on Gara- fraxa street. Mrs. Morlock leaves two sons and one daughter to mourn their loss, Messrs. Frank and Bryson, and Miss Jean Morlock. A sister, Miss Kate Cochrane, also survives, and a brother, 'Robert Cochrane, in the Unit- ed States. With 'all of these the town mourns in the passing of a fond moth- er and a good friend. The late Mrs. Morlock was a woman held in very high esteem. She was a member of Knox United church, prom- inent in the various activities of the church, and was identified with a num- ber of the town’s local societies, in which she proved a valued member. She was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Cochrane and was born on the present William Bogle farm at the foot of the hill, where the family re- sided until about 36 years ago, when they removed to Durham.

This honor fell to the lot of Mr. J. A. Graham, the efficient treasurer, refer- red to by the chairman as the real man behind the success of the hospi- tal. Mr. Graham referred to the loy- alty that had always ' been evident be- tween superintendent and nurses and that no one save the nurses them selves knew what these diplomas cost‘ In his address to the nurses. Rev. H is. Fiddes spoke on the closing door. that was shutting behind these young ladies on their period of training to make them efficient nurses, and ask- ing, “Is this all it meant ?” He referred to the sacrifices made in the past three years, and said this had been a period when they had added much to their lives and would emerge with a strong- er character, a richer experience. The opening door was being opened into a grand future and it depended to a great extent on how they entered this; future on what success they would make of themselves and their profes- sion. Wrong ideas might mar the fu- ture. The speaker referred to the larger wages that might have been. made in some other calling, but this would be more than balanced by the spirit of sacrifice and service. He went; back into the past in a reference to Florence Nightingale and the Crimean war, how this noble woman had tend- ed the wounded and sufiering and thus laid the foundation that culminated in the formation of the Red Cross Soci- ety.. The Male Quartette of Queen Street church, the Bell Quartette and Mr. W. Benson were also on the program. contributing to the vocal portion in appropriate numbers. The absence of Rev. Fr. McGoey was regretted very much by the chairman and those present. the chairman inti- mating that it must nave been some- thing very important that had kept Fr. Mceoy away, as he had always taken a keen interest in the hospital. During the evening several short ad- dresses were given, all of them of a eulogistic nature, in which the success of the hospital in the past, and the bright future ahead were referred to. Among those to address the gathering were Mayor Murdock, Reeve Bell, Revs. B. D. Armstrong, W. H. Smith, W. Spencer and H. S. Fiddes. Address- es were also given by Dr. J. L. Smith and Dr. A. M. Bell. ' Hon. Dr. D. Jamieson, the chairman of the Hospital Board, was the chair- man for the evening. The ceremony opened with a march on the pipe or- gan played by Miss M. Hunter, as the graduating class, with Miss Fettes, Superintendent, and Miss Morrison, Assistant Superintendent, entered and took their places on the platform. Mr. Hayes gave the opening prayer. Gave Resume of Hospital In his address the chairman referred to the founding of the Red Cross Me- morial Hospital here, of his fear as to the advisability of trying to operate ‘such an institution in Durham, and of its subsequent success both as a valu- able asset to the town and its having been self-supporting ever since its in- ; !ception. All credit for this must be} given to the ladies of the local Red ! Cross Society. The hospital here was unique in that it was the only one of its kind in Canada being operated and maintained exclusively by a branch of the Dominion Red Cross. Starting in a small way the hospital had been a success. It had been found reces .‘ry two years ago to build an addition "0 it, and even this was found inadequat\‘ to its needs and this summer anothen addition at an estimated cost of $20,- 000 was being erected. He thought that in the light of this, every person in Durham, and more especially the women, should become members of the Society. Besides the residents of the town and . the country immediately sur- rounding, several were present from all over the southern parts of the county, friends and relatives of the young ladies about to receive their di- plomas being here by special invita- tion. There were in all four nurses to receive their diplomas, and the cere- mOny leading up to the presentation was followed with intense interest. A capacity house was present last Friday evening to witness the gradua- tion exercises of Durham Red Cross Memorial Hospital, and the ceremony from beginning to end was one of in- terest to a large part of the surround- ing community, but more especially to those young ladies who for the past three years have been preparing them- selves for their chosen profession. The securing of Knox church for the cere- mony was a happy choice, as the crowd was so large that no other a- vailable building in the town could have begun to have held the large as- semblage who gathered to witness the event.

MANY WERE PRESENT AT GRADUATION $2.00 a Year in Canada; $2.50 in U. S. While not the most important part of the ceremony by any means. the presentation of the flowers to the graduating class and the superinten- dents. was the prettiest part of the evening’s business. This presentation was made by ten children of tender years who entered the church to the strains of a march on the organ. bear- ing bouquets 'and baskets of flowers. Ascending the platform they presented these floral tokens, expressive of the appreciation and esteem of the Red Cross and Hospital authorities. The children were Starr Jamieson. June McDonald. Vera Lauder. Allan Wilson. ‘Bertha Glass,'Jack McGowan. David {Rowland Jean Town. Mary Gagnon. and Alex. McDonnell. At the same time Mrs. Jamieson was presented with a basket of flowers by Mrs. P. Gagnon and Mrs. W. H. Smith. on be- half of the Society, expressive of their appreciation for the interest she had taken in the society and the hospital. Miss Dodds. on behalf of the gradu- ating class, thanked the citizens and the hospital authorities for their kind- nesssc during their probation period. Reception Held Afterward With the ceremony proper complet- ed, the nurses were at home to their friends at a luncheon served in the basement of the church, where sand- wiches, cake, ice cream and coffee were dispensed, after which all repair- ed to the Town Hall to attend an in- formal dance. The reception and dance was tendered by the nurses, who had invitations issued and nearly all who received the coveted invitation were present and enjoyed themselves until well after the midnight hour. Any considerate motorist will give,a woman half of the road if he knows which half she wants, Miss Fettes, the superintendent, ad- ministered the nurses’ pledge before the diplomas were presented. Those receiving diplomas were: Ethel M. Dodds, Mount Forest Violet A. Smith, Loree Ida E. Bradley, Berkeley Primilla A. Coulthard. Feversham. The pins to the nurses were present- ed by Mrs. D. Jamieson, president of the local Red Cross Society. Friends here of Mr. Brown. about whom considerable anxiety was felt, will be pleased to learn that he is safe, though he went through a har- rowing experience during the hardest part of the blow. It is estimated that the wind at one time attained a vel- ocity of 135 miles an hour. The storm is now a matter of history and work is already in progress to re- establish the population, though it will take a long time before everything is back to normal. With the exception of the hotel, all the buildings at South Bay were des- troyed, the latter being a large build- ing and much better constructed than the majority of the homes. Hundreds of people sought refuge in the build- mg. The wind caused inestimable dam- age and boats that came from outly- ing ports had considerable trouble in rescuing. women and children. A great number of people were killed in the vicinity of Miami and Lauderdale, and while the negroes were buried where they were found an effort was made to collect the bodies of the whites and have them interred in cemeteries. came, and so furious was the wind that several of the dykes about the bridge were broken and the water rushed in. When the two men felt the bridge giving way they got on to a pile driver dredge. but even this com- menced to move and they were forced to take refuge in the muck bucket. and though this was filled with water they stayed in it until they saw two negroes floating by on a telephone pole. They ‘left the bucket and made their way to the pole, taking off their top shirts, tore them in strips and made themselves fast and were successful in keeping their heads above water. A- bout midnight the wind shifted and blew in the opposite direction and in the darkness they had no idea of whi- ther they were drifting. When morn- ing came they found they were nearly opposite the hotel. and, swimming a- shore, remained there until the relief crew came and took them to Miami. recent Florida hurricane, reported so fully in the daily press a few days ago. Mr. Brown. with others, was em- ployed by a construction company building a bridge across an arm 0! South Bay, on Lake Okeechobee, dir- ectly west of Palm Beach and north- west of Miami and Fort Lauderdale. When the storm was imminent. most of the workmen left for the shore, but Mr. Brown and another employee re- mained, thinking that the storm would not be very bad and would soon sub- side.
