Last Sunday afternoon about 4.30 o‘clock. Beatrice, the seven-year-ozu daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elsmere Rawn of Normanby, whose home is on the Provincial Highway about 5 miles south of town, was so badly injured. when struck by a car in front or ner home that she passed away less than an hour afterwards without regaining consciousness. Death was caused by 2. fracture at the base of the skull. The accident was a particularly sad 0m and the bereaved parents have the deepest sympathy of all in their be- reavemenc. Beatrice had been at Sunday SChOOl at Orchard and had stopped for dinner at the home of Mr. Robert Carmount. With her was a cousin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Johnson of Egre- mont. and during the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Johnson had motored from their home to the Carmount residence to take their daughter home With them. Beatrice accompamed them as far as her parental home about a mile north on the highway. The Johnson car stopped in front of the gate and Beatrice, with her aunt, Mrs. Johnson, who is a sister of Mrs. Rawn, got out. Mrs. Johnson intending to visit for a few minutes with her sister. About this time a car was approaching from the south and Beatrice remained on the running-board until it had passed. Mrs. Johnson stopping at the rear of the car for the same purpose. When the northbound car had passed by both proceeded to cross the road, not noticing the approach of a southbound machine driven by Mr. Harry Kohli of Hespeler. the view of which was obscured by the car which had just passed. Mr. Kohli’s view was obscured as well and he did not see the child until he was 25 to 35 feet away, too late to bring his car to a full stop. Mrs. Johnson noticed the car when about the centre of the roadway and stopped, but Beatrice apparently did not see it and continued across the road. She was struck, apparently, by the left bumper. thrown against one of the headlights which was turned sideways by the impact. and thrown BEATRICE RAWN KILLED BY MOTOR CAR seven-year-old Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elsmere Rawn, Normanny, Succumbed Less Than an Hour After Being Struck by Passing Automobile. â€"-Accident Occurred in Front of Own Home.â€"Coroner’s Jury Find Fatality Was Accidental.

THE IURH'AM CHRONICLE McIlraith. Albert Noble. Viljalmer Stefansson, the explorer, now touring Canada, who predicts that Canada will be the crossroad of the air between Europe and the United States. He says that if transatlantic fliers desire to avail themselves of the shortest course between Europe and the United States, they must fly across Canada. This, he said, would entail flying over Arctic ice and he declareu that the northern route was much to be preferred. AskedIand Answered On the Same Day , In our last issue we reprinted an article from the Kincardine News. telling of the record of T. Caruso or that town, a wholesale and retail fruit dealer, who drove 2,250 miles in seven days unassisted by any other driver. The News closed its article by asking “When does Caruso get his sleep?” "Two Brampton women received facial lacerations and a third was bruised late this afternoon when their motor car was ditched in a rear-end collision on the Centre Road, nve miles south of Brampton. Mrs. Gdorge Armstrong and her daughter, Miss Gertrude, were cut about the face. while another daughter, Miss Florence, who was driving the car at the time of the accident, was bruised. Mrs. Olga Chant, a fourth occupant of the car, escaped with a shaking up. Query Regarding Kincardine Truck- mans’ Time for Sleep in Last Thurs- day’s Chronicle Was Answered in News Columns of Mail and Empire of Same Date. That question was answered in last Thursday’s issue of the Toronto Man and Empire in the following dispatch from Brampton: “According to Constable R. Lemon of the Highway Traffic police, the women were driving north when the accid- ent occurred, Sam Caruso. of Kincard- ine, driving a truck in the same direc- tion, striking their car from the rear. Caruso admitted to Officer Lemon that he was asleep at the wheel, but at the earnest solicitations of the women, he was not held in custody by the police. "Dr. J. A. Lawson, of Brampton, was called and attended to the injured women, who were removed to their homes, Caruso showing every care for them, frankly acknowledging himself as in error, and promising complete restitution. The car, which was thrown into the ditch by the smasn, was dam- aged.” There is evidently good cause for the Provincial Government in all likelihood passing legislation at tne next session to limit the hours which truckmen may operate vehicles without complete rest. Railroad companies have accepted the eight-hour day, and it seems unreasonable to expect truck drivers to cover long distances without sufficient rest. Caruso’s record means that working ten' hours a day he would have to average nearly 33 miles an hour. and this is altogether too fast on crowded highways with a loadâ€" ed truck. “MOLE" DRAINAGE An innovation in draining was tried out this fall on the farm of Mr. J. M. Dolson, near Brampton. when a de- monstration of “Mole” draining as practised in England was put on. This is the first time for this type of drain- ing to be attempted in Peel, and the experiment is a three-party arrange- ment between the physics department of the Ontario Agricultural College, the Ontario Tractor Co., and the local de- partment under Archie McGugan, dis- trio. representative. The “mole” is a three-cornered piece of iron, very strongly constructed, to which is attached a curvec arm, six inches through at the part to which the mole is fastened. A powerful tractor drags the ‘mole’ through the land, at a depth of 15 to 20 inches. The mole makes an underground drain. pressing the clay against the side of the subterranean passage it is forming, thus making a close-packed passage, whose sides are practically as hard as tile The dirt thrown up by the arm in its passage througa the soil drops back and fills in the narrow opening as it goes. The chief advantage of this type 0L drainage is its cheapness, the cost being about $2 per acre, and the drain is good for several years, more or less, according to the quality of the soil through which it is run. As It costs about $60 to put a tile drain in an acre of land the experiment is like- ly to attract a lot of attention through- out Ontario. er Near Brampton Experiments With English System of Drainage and Result Will Be Watched With Interest. PRACTISED FIRST TIME DURHAM, ONTARIO, CANADA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1. 1928 Found Dead on Dr. Jamieson’s Preserve Tuesday. and Had Apparently Been Killed by Rifle Bullet .â€"Inspector Toole Will Investigate. Shot at from a passing car or from the roadway, the body of a dead doe was found on Dr. Jamieson’s property Tuesday afternoon about 2 o’clock, and as a result, Inspector Toole of Listowe: has been notified and will conduct an investigation. While there is very little evidence to work on subsequent (lever- opments would indicate that there is a possibility of the culprit being identi- fied and brought to task for his work. Hunting deer in Grey County is against the law and will be severely punished. This case is particularly revolting and brings to light unwanton cruelty. From the condition of the deer, whicn was still warm when found, and the fact that part of its tracks were ob; soured by fallen snow, the animal must have been shot the previous evening and lived through the night With its hinti- quarters badly injured, the large bones of the legs being shattered. It is non thought possible that the animal could. have travelled very far in this condi- tion. and as no snow fell during day- light on Tuesday there is no other con- clusion to come to but that the animal lived some hours after bemg injured. DEER SUPPOSED ILLEGALLY KILLED On receipt of the news that the animal had been found on his pr0p- erty, Dr. D. B. Jamieson went out and immediately reported the occurrence to the game inspector. The dead carcass was first seen by Lorne Allan from the roadway and would not have been noticed by him had he not st0pped to admire some of the many beautifu': pheasants now in the vicinity of the preserve. Big Elk Disposed or On Wednesday morning of this week another shooting took place at the Jamieson preserve, but this time it was a perfectly legal one. As was hinted in these columns some two weeks ago. it has been decided that the elk at the preserve are more a nuisance than anything else and they were to be dis- posed of. Accordingly, on Wednesday morning, having obtained permission from the Department a: Toronto, Messrs. Daniel Boone J amieson and Kit Carson Gagnon, with their trusty rifles under their arms. and The Chronicle editor as official referee and observer, repaired to the preserve and dispatched the oldest and biggest ani- mal. The animal has a magnificent head and pair of antlers and these will be mounted and placed in the Durham Furniture Company’s Ofiice.

In his experience of 38 years in harness he encountered many famous criminals. One time in a fight with a bad gang he had his jaw broken Three Local Young Men Had Pleasant Motor Trip to Saskatchewan. and, Covered Whole Journey In Eighteen Days of Actual Running Time. Tuesday of this week, Messrs. Alfred Watson, Archie McArthur and Eldon Weppler, arrived in town after a motor trip to Saskatchewan and all three are enthusiastic over the pleasures of the journey. Leaving here on the 7th of late August, they worked 1n the har- vest fields in the vicinity of Speers. and Returnedon Tuesday From Western Trip since have been visiting rezatives and. friends in other parts or the province. Mr. Watson, who was the owner 0: the car, left town With a Ford. but while in the West traded it in and arrived back with a Pontiac. The dis- tance is estimated at 2,700 miles eacn way. Going out they. covered. the dis- tance in 11 days and consumed. 97 gal- lons of gasoline. The return journey was made in seven days and took 112 gallons. They left Success on the let of October, visited on the way home, and spent nearly two days in Detroit While in the West Mr. Watson visited with his brothers, Joseph at Eston, Al- bert at Speers, and Samue: at Semans, while Mr. McArthur visited relatives at Paradise Hill.

Grey County Roads Are Found in Good Shape The members of the Grey County Good Roads Committee were on tour last week and visited Durham Thurs- day morning. went over the southern part of the county that day and were in Thornbury for the iizght. Some fault was found by the citizen: of Clarksburg with the manner in whicn the new highway through that village was being constructed. pus as me building 01' the pavement had to be first considered, no attention was paid the complaints. It would appear that some 01‘ the citizens thought the road too high. others thought it too low. and apparently nonc- 01' them took it into consideration ‘L‘ila'; the roadway had to be level. Citizens Whose pro- perty is either above or below the level of the road. will. have to make the best 01' it as the road. committee is not responsible for the contour of the land. The committee arrived at Owen Sound Friday noon, having inspected the county roads in between and left that same afternoon for Keppel town- ship. concluding ' their semi-annual tour Friday night. On the wnoze me roads were pronounced in good con- dition and a report in keeping with this finding will be presented at the December meeting or the County Council . ' The euchre and dance of the Red Cross Society, announced :as:. weex to be held. in the new addition at the hospital, was held Tuesday evening in the Town Hall, the heating plant at the hospital not being in snape to ac- commodate the crowd in the prevailing cold weather. About 30 tables were in play for the euchre. which was contin- ued up to 11 o’clock, when lunch was partaken 01‘. Following the much dancing was indulged in tor a coupze of hours, music being supplied by the Blu-Bell orchestra. A miscellane/s shower was tendered Miss J.

Mrs. Thomas Henderson. when about 35 friends assembled to do her honor. and spend an evening with her before her approaching marriage.

HELD EUCHRE AND DANCE SHOWERED BRIDE-TO-BE There is every indication that Dur- ham may have a choral society this winter, providing the residents of the town with the gift or desire to sing are willing to go ahead with it and devote some of their spare time along this line. With this in view a meeting has been called for next Thursday night, the 8th, in the Public school, and tne local sponsors are hoping that all who are interested will turn out and ex- press their views. Meeting Has Been Called for Next Thursday Night With This Object in View. . MAY FORM CHORAL SOCIETY IN DURHAM Choral singing is something that every community should foster. Not only does a good choral association give pleasure to every Citizen, but the tuition received is of real benefit to those taikng part. There is no thought that anything approaching Toronto’s famous Mendelssohn choir can be de- veloped in a small town, but with the proper support and the determination of the members to put it through, there is no reason why any community. no matter how small, should not have much better ensemble singing than it The formation of a choral society in Durham would not only work to the advantage of the society and the cit- izens, but would as well be a distinct benefit to the various choirs in the Let there be a full attendance next Thursday night in the Public schoox, and let the various opinions be heard. It is just as important that those not in favor of the scheme be heard as those who are. This meeting is not called for the purpose of "forming a choral society, but rather to see if there is enough interest to warrant it. The meeting is called for 7.30 o’clock. On Wednesday evening, October 17th, a number of business men and citizens of the town gathered at the rectory and paid tribute to Rev. T. H. Farr and Mrs. Farr, prior to their leaving Kin- cardine. They were presented with. two fine chairs and a footstool. The- address was read by Mr. A. G. Macm- tyre. Addresses were given by Rev. 1... W. Reid, Rev. T. D. McCullough, Rev. Mr. King and Mayor J. W. Morrison. All expressed regret that the Farr ram- ily were leaving Kincardine and ex- tended good wishes for success in their new home. Mr. Farr made a neat reply and expressed his thanks. The following was the address: To the Rev. T. H. Farr, Mrs. Farr and family: We, as citizens of Kincardine, feel it would be a regrettable omission to allow you to leave Kincardine with- out telling you in more than mere words that during your thirteen years’ residence here you have gained the es- teem and affection of your fellow-cit- izens to such a degree that your re- moval is a matter of sincere regret; 3 us all, creating as it does a serious gap in our community life. We know something of your love for and loyalty to our town and believe you will taxe many occasions to revisit us. Please accept these tokens of affection and regard and our fervent wish that your removal may mean .furtner opportunity ,for advancing the great cause in wmcm you are engaged, and greater prosper- ity and happiness for yourselves.

This C. P.

Each car was approximately 40 feet in length. This is probably the longest train on record: the former record was made in 1924 when a train of 124 cars was hauled. over the same track. The gross weight of the train was 8,275 tons. Weather prophets think that the storm the first of the week will clear the atmosphere and that will have some good weather for a time.

It had become famous as the stopping place where Governor Simcoe rested for lunch on his way westward through the province in search for a site zor his capital. On this occasion he was accompanied by Captain Joseph Brant and a number of Indian braves. Then, during the war of 1812 this oak became a recruiting station. Just north of it was the Culver Tavern and it was under this oak that General Brock recruited 170 volunteers to march on to Detroit, Before marching away the newly recruited :orce stopped and gave a salute in honor of Govern- o: Simcoc.

The council refused an: afterwards some miscreant girdled the tree. A reward of $100 was offered for the discovery of the culprit, but With- out avail. However. the sturdy old tree rallied and lived for some years until finally it was struck by lightn- ing and was ordered to be cut down. This gavel is made from a piece of wood cut from the famous Simcoe oak and presented by Mr. James Edgeworth to Hon. John S. Martin to be used at the opening of Grand Lodge, A. F. 5.: A.
