ELLâ€"N0. 3290 Two motor car accidents which might have resulted serioufly, but which for- tunately did not entail any casualties, occurred to local motorists last week- end. On Thursday night Mr. Ali. Noble lost his sport roadster by fire when the machine ran over a dangerous piece of roadway the other side 01 Walker- ton and upset into the ditch. The roadway at this point is said to be some six or eight ieet high, is built up with fu'e totally destroying the bar. On Saturday while en route to Owen Sound to take in the 12th of July cele- bration, Messrs. John Mills and John McNaliy or town came to grief a short distance south of Williamsford when the car in which they were riding, and which was owned and driven by Mr. Mills, went out of control and turned upside down in the middle of the high- way. It is lucky for the occupants that no fire resulted, as both men were helpless in the machine with the gasoline pouring down upon them. There was a lot of traflic on the road that day and help was soon at hand, both men being liberated little the worse for their experience. The car was badly damaged. While business is in a. slump and firms everywhere are trying to retrench, one local firm finds business expanding to the extent where they have to en- large their premises. We refer to J. N. Murdock a: Son, coal and lumber deal- ers. who for the past week or so have been busily engaged enlarging their storage sheds on George street, just beyond the C. P. R. stock yards. We congratulate those students from Durham and vicinity who were success- ful at the recent Normal school exam- inations. Those passing from here were Misses Joy Priest, Mary Beaton and Florence Macdonald, with first-class honors, and Misses Dorothy Ritchie and Myrtle Mortley, with second-class hon- ors. The results appeared in last Fri- EXPANDING BUSINESS FORCES NEW BUILDINGS Durham is experiencing a building boom this year, such as has not been seen for years. About half a dozen houses, the Bank of Commerce build- ing. a fine new store and now the new sheds are all going up. While the un- employment situation is very serious generally, we doubt very much whether the local carpenters, plasterers or masons could be induced to feel very pessimistic over it. day's dailies. Their former sheds were 42 feet. by 60 feet, with a floor space of 1050 square feet, but Mr. Murdock said this did not give them nearly enough space for the stock they carry, and as the inten- tion is to enlarge their stock, particu- larly that of lumber, mouldings, build- ing materials, etc., of which they in- tend to carry full lines, the new sheds are an absolute necessity. The addi- tion is to be 60 feet long by 25 feet, giv- ing an additional floor space of 1500 square feet. When completed the sheds will measure over all 102 feet by 25 feet, with a total floor space of 2,550 square feet. The new shed has a cement floor and foundation, with frame upper structure. At the King Edward Hotel, Toronto, in November 1929. the beautitul Paisley shawl of Mrs. J. F. Giles, Durham, won fourth place in the “Shawl Contestifiior which there were one hundred and . forty-three entries. This priceless possession was originally owned and worn by Mr. Glles’ gran er, Mrs. Catharine Carter. of Erlnnd Cross, near Land’s End, wall, England, not far from the spot of which John Wesley wrote. SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS PHOTOGRAPHED IN A PRIZE PAISLEY by Loniu Yates Tombs was struck by the C. P. R. passenger train which left Owen Sound at 7 o’clock for Walkerton and intermed- iate points. The accident occurred where the railway tracks crow what is known as 90 sideroad about a mile and a quarter north of Markdale. Mr. Leslie had been on a short visit to the home of his sister, Mrs. Willard Wilson, who resides in Glenelg town- hip a little less than three miles from Markdale and was on his way ’home. The crossing is not an easy one to see by a motorist, but as it was still day- light it is thought that he did not hear the train coming. The car was struck almost in the centre and was smashed beyond any hope of repair. It was car- ried along the tracks some little dist- ance before the train was brought to a stop. The man was not dead when he was taken from the wrecked car but he expired a moment later and before he could be placed in the baggage car of the train which backed up to the scene of the accident. The remains were taken into Markdale and given into the care of a local undertaken. An examination revealed the fact that the skull had been fractured and there were other injuries, principally about the head. The deceased was born in Markdale about 35 years ago, and had resided there all his life. He was engaged with his mother, Mrs. J. H. Leslie, in a con- fectionery and ice cream businesss, and was very highly respected and esteemed by all who knew him. He is survived, besides his mother, by two sisters, Mrs. Willard Wilson. of Glenelg, and Mrs. Fletcher, in Saskatchewan. The CPR. train was in charge of Conductor George Walker, of Walker- ton, and the engineer was John Reddy, also of Walkerton. Mr. J. Harry Leslie, a Markdale bus- iness man, was instantly killed on Wed- nesday evening shortly before 8 o’clock when the car which he was driving MARKDALE MAN KILLED ‘ IN CROSSING SMASH Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Roseborough celebrated their silver wedding anniver- sary on Friday evening last.

Many beautiful and useful gifts were received, consisting of silver, linen and china. SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. HON. W. H.

ONTARIO, CANADA THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1930 Mrs. Whitmore, who is in her 88th year, does her own house work and is in wonderfully good health. A real pioneer, having come to this part of the country from near Toronto when a girl seven years old, with her father and mother, the late Mr. and Mrs. Daniel McFadden, she settled on the Durham Road on the farm, all bush, taken up from the Government, and where Robert McFadden now lives. The trip was made from Guelph with oxen in a sleigh without shoeing over corduroy roads, her older brother driv- ing two cows behind.

Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Bell and family, good citizens of the town for some years, are leaving next week for Alvin- ston, where the former has purchased a practice and where they will reside in the future. Dr. Bell has been in Durham since his graduation from col- lege some years ago, and since coming to town has built up quite a lucrative practice. It was with considerable surprise and regret that the citizens learned a few days ago of his intention to leave town. Born in Glenelg, a son of the late John Bell and Mrs. Bell the Dr. is well known intown and country. Following his discharge from the army, with which he spent some years over- seas, he completed his medical course and has been in busines here profesion- ally ever since. With other citizens we regret the departure of the Dr. and family, but wish him every success in his new location. - had when she went back to the bum in Egremont'when a bride 00.18., 89: told how she had been married - b11392; Mr. Stuart at her father's'--home‘.'"fie late Daniel McFadden, on the 14th of July and the day following she and her husband, the late John Whitmore walked to their new home back near Wilder’s Lake, a distance of five miles.

As the sitting member in the last parliament. Miss Macphail spoke first. According to previous arrange- ments between the candidates, each was to address the meeting for one hour, Miss Macphail first, the latter to have an extra ten minutes to reply. Miss Macphail prefaced her address by telling how, as an independent, she had voted with the Liberals and the Conservatives, how many times for each she did not know, but she thought the count would be about even. She said she had never voted with either party because of party, but rather for the measure that was before the House. She had been criticized for the appointment of Mr. Murray as Returning Oflicer. and further because there were so many Conservatives appointed returning offi- ces. This however was unavoidable, she explained, because this election was be- ing conducted on the non-partisan sys- tem and there were members of all parties and groups among the officials. Launching into her address she men- tioned the many measures passed in which the independent groups must be given credit. Other legislation pend- ing was also the product of this group, which had sponsored and helped make law such measures as rural credits, the right of British subjects to fair trial before deportation, legislation for the benefit of the returned soldiers, amend- ments to the grain act, the Beauharnoir power scheme, the recognition of the Referring to protection for the farm- er the speaker referred to the fact that Canada was‘the fifth trading and ex- porting nation in the world.

She claimed that in Ontario, with no divorce court, there had been a greater increase in divorce than in any of the provinces having these courts. In 1913 Ontario had 20 cases, in 1929, 208; over the whole of Canada there was a total of 60 cases in 1913 with 816 in 1929. She had seen 60 divorces granted in the House of Commons in two minu- tes and was of the opinion that these should be handled by the Ontario courts instead of the House of Com- Farm and Labor groups, the 11 pm. closing of parliament and the limita- tion of all speeches to 40 minutes. Voted W Budget Muphall Spoke First responsible government was that of the party system in which candidates were elected on the platform of their party and were judged by their performances. The real issue of the campaign was whether you supported party candi- dates, pledged to a platform, or inde- pendent representation in which the candidate was to have the whole voice in the requirements or desires oi the riding he represented. He referred to the divorce court vote and took. exception to Miss Macphaii's figures.‘ In Ontario in 1913 there were 20 divorces granted, in 1929 there were 209. Ontario had no divorce court. In the whole of Canada in 1913 there were 60 divorces, in 1929 there were 816.

Political divorces had increased from approxim-fi atelyiom1913tos79inlm. This would mean that in the province of On- tario with no divorce court. the increase had been slightly over 10 per cent. In the provinces of Canada operating their . own courts the increase had been a? little under 15 per cent. These were‘ statistical figures and could not be re- ‘ futed. It would seem from this that those provinces having the facilities! (or granting divorce increased in ratio nearly 60 per cent over those provinces which had no court. Dr. Campbell dwelt for some time on the Australia -New Zealand treaty. which was responsible at the present time for the low price of cream and butter on the Canadian market. The subsidizing of the butter exporters of the antipodes, and their more temper- ate climate. simplified the matter con- siderably for these people who were able to put their butter product on the Canadian market at a price impossible for 'the Canadian farmer if he wished to make a reasonablé profit. He showed how the treaty had been arranged whereby there was made an outlet for Canadian manufactured autos and pulpwood. how the anti-dumping law had been subsequently enforced against Australia. but that no such ac- tion had been taken against New Zea- land. which was the country respon- sible for the drop in the butter market.
