Before a school section could be organized it was necessary to re a certain number of pupils for the prOposed section. When the count was made they lacked one of the requiredl number, so Will McGirr’s name was put down, although he lacked a year of school age, but on the morning thei school opened he and his elder brother Girr and his brother.

Hood, Provincial tr'aflic officer for this district was struck by a car just west of. the C. P. R. railroad crossing at Allan Park and sustained a badly broken left leg, the fracture being about four inches above the knee. He was also out about the leg, the artery being missed by only a fraction of an inch, and otherwise badly shaken up. A car coming along at this time he was brought to Durham hospital, where he is now a patient and likely to remain for the next six weeks or so. Officer Hood has had bad luck this summer and was just recovering from an injured shoulder sustained when his motor cycle upset him when chasing a speeder on the highway south of Guelph. In the accident on Saturday Mr. Hood was proceeding along the high- way when he saw a car approaching with glaring headlights. At the same time he noted the road sign and mis- took it for a buggy ahead. He was pulling out to pass it when he saw what it was and ran over to his own side of the road. The oncoming car, which was not travelling at an exhor- bitant speed, ran into the traffic officer, injuring him as stated. The car was owned in Owen Sound by a man named Ohmstead, but was not driven by him at the time of the accident. Twelve Branches Out of Fifteen Were Represented at Gathering Which Met in Knox Church Last Friday Afternoon.â€"Good Addresses Heard on Various Topics by Representative Gathering. DISTRICT INSTITUTE HAD ANNUAL MEETING With the president, Mrs. Sutton of Hanover in the chair, and with a large and representative crowd present from every section of the riding, the South Grey District Women’s Institute met in annual session in the basement of Knox United church here last Friday. Miss Margaret McGirr, president of the Durham branch, gave the address of welcome to the delegates. Of the fifteen Insttute branches in South Grey, twelve were represented and a most profitable day was spent. Miss Engel of Hanover replied to the adress of welcome. _ _ In her opening address the president, Mrs. Sutton, cautioned the ladies from getting into a “rut” in their. home work. They should make it a point not to become egotistical, pessimistcal, and a. good many other “als” that spelled disaster. There was very little business done at the morning session. Highway West of Allan Park. -Now Patient in Durham Hospital. The afternoon session opened at 1.45 with the secretary, Mrs. J. S. McLlraith reading several communications, in- cluding a letter of thanks from Taber- mory for help received and one from Mrs. Harrison of Shallow Lake explain- ing why she had taken the responsibil- ity of assisting the Toberrnory district. Greetings were also read from Mrs. Towriss of Athens, who recently deliv- ered addresses here. The principal address of the after- noon was that of Hon. Dr. Jamieson, chairman of the Old Age Pensions and Mothers’ Allowances Commisisons, who gave a most illuminating talk on these two Acts. Mrs. Dingwall of Hopeville is the 10- cal Federal representative, and dealt with many matters in which the In- stitute is interested. Assisting on the programme were Miss Leah McComb and Mrs. J. F. Giles of Durham and Mrs. Sheldroth of Ches- 'ley. The Durham branch provided ex- cellent meals for the delegates. 7-----L_ 5.

Dr. David Jamieson was chairman and commended the hospital on its splendid work, expressed the Opinion that the nurses trained in the smaller hospitals were more efficient and self- reliant than the graduates of larger in- stitutions and extended congratula- tions to the graduating class on the platform. Rev. B. D. Armstrong offered prayer for the future guidance and well being of the graduates. Mayor 0. S. Hunter in a short address gave great credit to. the managing board of the hospital and to Miss Fettes and Miss Morrison for the efficient and successful way in which the hospital was run. The doc- tors also deserve much praise but the nurses were very important and the graduating class had given excellent service. Reeve Allan Bell spoke the sentiment of the community in saying that all were proud of the hospital and of the excellent nurses going therefrom. A nurse’s opportunity for doing good is great and he commended the young ladies on their choice of a career, giv- ing them some timely advice. Mr. J. A. Graham. secretary-treasur- er of the hospital board since its organ- ization. after congratulations to the graduating class spoke of the progress of the Hospital since its inception and also of the financial side of the man- agement. He said that it began with no money but lots of faith and kept on going with but moderate assistance; One of the hardest problems facing the board was the securing grants. The hospital, while receiving grants from the Provincial government and the County Council and generous assistance from the citizens but in all its exist- ence it had not received one cent from the Town Council and, he added, not for the want of asking. He compared this state of affairs with hospitals in surrounding communities all of which received generous grants from their local councils. He also referred to the recent ruling of the Ontario Govern- ment which stipulates that in future government grants to hospitals will be of the same amount as the grants given by the communities in which they are situated. which as he remark-- ed is a poor lookout for our local in- stitution.

She has borne up Wothrfuuy well under the trying or- deal, but is not yet able to leave her The late Mr. Gray was 51 years of age. He was born in Wentworth county in 1879, but when quite a young boy came with the family to Chesley. He spent a number of years in the north where he was engaged in mining, pros- pecting and lumbering, was for a time foreman on the T. N.O. railway, and also foreman in road construction work for W. Chambers, formerly of Harris- i3}: Bfit _ now of Toronto, and whose company 'did the grading on the Pro- vinch highway north of here some years ago. In 1916 the deceased was married to Miss Mabel Gillis of Fort William and eight years ago Mr. and Mrs. Gray and family moved to Durham where he has been yard foreman for the Durham Furniture Company in the summer months, and in charge of the company‘s men at Porterville in Hastings county in the winter taking out logs.

This will depend upon the decision of Mr. D. ’1‘. Wright of Dundalk. who. at the convention here on Saturday afternoon last was tendered the unanimous nomination ot the convention at the most enthusiastic and best attended Liberal convention to be held in this riding, in a good many years. It was a hectic session. and at- tended nearly altogether by those Lib- erals of the riding who have become dissatisfied with the headquarters rul- ing of Toronto and Ottawa in the past two campaigns who have sawed on with the Progressive group and prevented the running of a candidate in this constituency. Whether or not there is to be a Liberal in the field to oppose Miss Agnes Macphail, who has repre- sented the riding since 1921, and L. 0. 'Campbell, the Conservative candidate. rests with Mr. Wright. who is to make his final decision on or before Saturday of this week. Mr. Wright may decide not to run. but after the close of the meeting. he gave out the information that he will in all probabiliy be the 'Liberal standard-bearer no matter what happens. Local Liberals have beâ€" come somewhat disgusted with their lot for the past nine years in which they have been disfranchised by a po- litical saw-off in which they have gain- ed nothing. Mr. Wright is willing to fight their battle at this election and give all he has in an endeavor to re- Ideem the riding for the Liberal cause. D. T.
