Knighti and the late Major E. L. Knight, was presented with the certificate of the Royal Canadian Humane Sodety for bravery displayed last August when he jumped into the water above the Mc- Gowan dam and saved the life of Dorothy McFarlane, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. B. McFarlane of this Donald, who is only fliteen years of age, was crossing the McGowan dam with two girl companions, Dorothy McFarlane and Barbara. Watt, when the former, a girl of thirteen years, in some manner lost her balance and fell into the water, which at this place is some fifteen to twenty feet in depth. The young girl could not swim and it was a long way to assistance, but it is not likely that Donald Knight ever considered this feature or reasoned it out. Seeing that his companion could not swim, the young lad without hes- itation jumped into the water and after a terrific struggle succeeded in bring- ing her safely to shore. The effort was a hard one, for both being about a size and Donald knowing nothing of the life saving tactics, it can be assum- rescuing the drowning girl. mg shore the rescuer was forced for the period of half an hour or more to lie on the bank in order to regain suf- ficient strength to proceed to his home. the Royal Canadian Humane Society, with the result that last Friday after- noon at the High school the certificate was presented for “prompt action and presence of mind in the rescue of Dorothy McFarlane from drowning.” m- wv r-â€" was given the young hero by the Re- gent, Mrs. G.

We this month, but last week’s blow did more damage throughout the county and around Durham than any of its Commencing Thursday night, the zenith of its fury was reached around two o’clock Friday morning. There was a wind estimated at from forty to sixty miles an hour and a heavy fall of snow. Driven by the high wind, night travellers report driving as anything but a pleasure. Fire Hall Boot Lifted Locally the worst damage we have heard of was . the blowing ofl' of part of the roof on the fire hall. The whole of the south half covering the part used by the local Hydro Commission was unroofed, and while the portion oc- cupied by the fire fighting apparatus escaped, it was badly strained and the covering over what was once the old tower was torn ofi by the force of the When the roof let go it landed over on the sidewalk and took with it the hydro wires, shutting ofi the power. This was repaired early in the mom- ing and there was very little interrup- tion in the power service around town. Furniture Factory Down The interruption to the Furniture Company was more serious than _ to the towh, as they were compelled to close down until noon owing to trouble the power-house. Investigation showed that a tree had been blown over and shut off the current. The damage was quickly repaired. any means and from the news reports seemed general from far out in the Atlantic to the far West. From every section of the country came reports of damage, and much more in many cases than what was reported locally. Throughout Grey County the damage was general but not serious, the worst being the power lines north from Eu- genia which put Owen Sound and other centres in darkness. For a time Friday Durham was sup- plied with current from the Niagara system 97* -1_-_1-_1 Minor damages about town incmaea the blowing in of numerous windows, damages to roofs and such like, which at this season of the year was most in- convenient.

The dog queston has long been be- fore the Council, the Constable and the people but this is the first time that any definite action has been taken.

Some there are who see no reason why the dogs should not be allowed ‘full liberty; others want the bylaw enforced to the letter, and with these directly opposite views it necessarily follows that those en- trusted with seeing that the town’s re- gulations are lived up to cannot hope for any great popularity. Speaking to The Chronicle after the trial Magistrate Laidlaw thought that perhaps it would have been just as full liberty all summer, that the by- law had not been enforced until next spring when the gardens and flower beds were put in. This was the time that the canines did most damage and should be locked up. In the winter months there was not much damage they could do. From his conversation we would gather that he would favor a change in the bylaw that would make it obligatory to keep the dogs off the street during the summer months when the gardens were in and the animals could be kept outside with little or no inconvenience. At Saturday’s trial it was brought out that the Councl intended dealing with the canine regulatons at next meeting, and this it is hoped they will do, changing the bylaw if necessary to It is“ generally felt, however, that along. with the dog bylaw all the rest of them should be gone over as well. erable bylaws on its books that were drafted years ago. Some have been forgotten altogether, others are not understood by the people, council, con- stable or magistrate, and others have so far outlived their usefulness that they should be rescinded and fired into the waste basket. We have too many bylaws, more than even the town sol- icitor could keep track of. “Fewer bylaws better enforced” seems the op- inion of the populace generally. a whole.

Old acquaintances and friends testify to her excellence as a neighbor, and her willingness to be of service in sickness or other trouble. The funeral was held from her late residence yesterday )afternoon at 2 o’clock. Owing to the illness of her pastor, Rev. M. Fiddes of the Queen Street church, Rev. Mr. Hayes of Trinity Anglican church had charge of the service at the house and grave. Interment was made in Durham cem- etery.

A. tussle here Tuesday, when Markdale and Durham locked horns in a battle for district leadership, was thabest game staged here this year, with Durham 6-3 score. The game sparkled here and there with flashes of championship hockey and at times slowed down as to be almost tame. Altogther we be- lieve all the fans left the arena feel- lng that they had'been given full value for their money and those that passed up the game missed a contest worth Thegamestartedoffwitharush and inside of 60 seconds Durham had netted the puck on a nice play by Buschlen and Elvidge, Buschlen going behind the nets and passing out to Elvidge, who flippd the rubber past. Right from the face-of! McGirr grab- bed the puck and, bursting his way through the Markdale defence netted it for the second counter, making the score 2-0 in the first 90 seconds of the game. This roused the fans to fever pitch and also raised the fighting ire of the Markdale boys, who proceed- ed to carry the fight to the Durham end of the rink, but to no avail, until about the middle of the period when Mercer of the Markdale defense se- cured the puck about his own blue line and on a splendid lone rush, tricked the local defense and on a shot from the boards beat McDonald for Markdale’ s first counter. This must have spurred the locals some- what for before a minute had passed. a McGirr. Buschlin and Elvidge com- bination netted Durham’s third goal, Elvidge beating the Markdale goal tender, on a rebound from a shot by McGirr. From then until the end of the first period the game slowed down, each side seemingly content with what they had, Markdale trying Mc- Donald repeatedly with shots from centre easily. The second period was productive of faster hockey, although at times both teams relapsed to one man rushes, none of which was of any effect. Dur- ham opened hte scoring in this period also, when in the first five minutes El-l vidge and Snell got Durham’s fourth, Elvidge netting the rubber from close in on a pass from Snell. .About half; way through the period Woods se- cured Markdale’s second counter, pushing the puck past McDonald from a scramble in front of the Durham goal. Five minutes later Rowe and McGirr marked up Durham’ fifth on a combination rush, Rowe batting in a pass from the corner by McGirr. This ended the scoring for the period, the score standing 5-2 when the bell rang. The third stanza was the most torrid of all, Markdale coming on the ice in a do or die spirit and the local boys de- termined to hold whta they had and get more if possible. It was during this period that Elvidge got a bad termined to hold what they had and ice, one of the Markdale men falling over him, and bumped his head on the ice. However, he was back in the game in time to combine with Buschlin ?for the last goal. Each team counted Eonce in this period, McFarlane count- ing for Markdale and Elvidge and Buschlen getting number six for Dur- The feature of the game was the back checking of the Durham forward line, both regulars and subs. A Mark- dale man rarely got past centre ice without a Durham forward hanging to him like a leech, and skating him into the boards. The Markdale team used no subs, the whole team going the full sixty minutes. There were no out- standing stars, although Elvidge for the locals was perhaps the fastest man on the ice. The game was clean and open, Referee Carmichael of Tor- ronto, handling it very satisfactorily. handing out nine penalties, five to these there were two doubles, Mercer and Wilson being chased for paying more attention to each other than to the puck and later Burnside and Wil- son were fenced for the same offence.
