No. 3, Singhampton, received severe cuts to her face, when about eleven o’clock Monday morning, the sedan she was driving, collided head-on with the Im- perial Oil truck, in charge of Mr. William McDermid, just at the corner turning on to Singhampton’s main thoroughfare. At the time the season‘s first snow storm was in progress. and the downfall was so heavy as to com- pletely obscure the vision of both drivers. Mrs. Wilson was carried to Campbell‘s barber shop and Dr. Gra- ham of Creemore called, who. after administering an anaesthetic, dressed the wounds.

Ritchie, chief engineer of the Ontario Highway Department at Stratford, who was the driver of the truck in which Royal Todd, 21-year-old Stratford youth, was fatally injured at the level crossing at Atwood two months ago. Announcement to that effect was made in étratford on Monday by Crown Attorney (2°. C'. McPherson. The warrant is in the hands of Provincial Constable Robert Beatie. and it will be served as soon as Ritchie returns from a holiday in Pittsburg. The accident at the Atwood crossing occurred at noon on September 8, and Royal Todd, who was preparing to re- turn to Queen’s University to resume his studies, died from his injuries a few hours later in the hospital at Listowel. Ritchie was also injured, as was John Killer, another Stratford youth and the latter two were in the Stratford General Hospital for some time. At -the inques held in Listowel, the jury did not attach any blame in connection with the fatality, so that Ard Watt, 18 years of age. who esâ€" caped from Mimico Reformatory, was arrested at Southampton last Saturday.
