Both Ritchie and Larsen slowed down when approaching the narrow bridge at this point, the latter finally coming to a stOp on the west side of the bridge. The truck. loaded with gravel. and driven by Keel- ing. was coming behind Ritchie, and contained. besides the driver, the Rev. Dr. Dickie of Eiora. on his way to preach at Walkerton on Sunday, and who had arrived in Durham at noon by bus. The truck. apparently. was unable to slow down, struck the back of the Ritchie car, and then crashed head-on into the LarSCh machine. the impact throwing the gravel over the tap of the cab. Rev.

Traffic Officer Hood was on the scene in a few minutes and as a re- sult of his investigation has laid a charge of reckless driving against Keel- ing. who will appear for hearing this Friday afternoon. A Week 0! Accident. Particularly tree from accidents thls year. the past. week has broken the rec- 0rd locally. On Wednesday of last week a car driven'by William Gunn of South Porcupine. with whom was Mrs. szn. struck some loose gravel five or six miles north of town and went into the ditch. Both occupants were injured by being cut with flying glass. and shock. but not seriously, and proceeded on their way after having their wounds dressed at the local hos- pital. Another wreck on the some day occurred on. the county road be- tween here and flesherton when a Mr. Hudson and party came to grief when a my tire blew out and the car went into the ditch. one of the lady oc- cuqants receiving a broken collar bone, while all of the party received minor injuries.

In the second the Hock- : ey Club again were unable to score; going out in order after the first man had reached first. The Bachelors, how- ever, with two doubles and a single, coupled with four errors by the Hock- eyists put five runners over the plate. With two walks, a double, three singles and an error the Hockey Club evened the score in the first of the third but the Bachelors came back with four more in their half of the inning, _making it 9-5. The best the Hockey Club could do was add one more in the fourth and this concluded their scorin'g. while the Bachelors got one in the fourth and another in the fifth, just to make the outcome certain. Bert Lawrence was in the pitcher’s box for the Bachelors and pitched a nice game, and his team gave him splendid sup- port. Clarence McGirr, who was on the mound for the Hockey Club turned in 'every bit as good a game but his sup port fell down badly at times particu- larly in the second inning. The score by innings was as follows: 12 3 4 5 6 7â€"R.H.E.

They were occupying the bottom of the ladder and the Bachelors were perched one rung above them. In other words the Bachelors came out on tOp with a 19-7 score. Just what happened is hard to elors seem to have found their stride and have turned in two victories in as many starts, and are now within strik- ing distance or the leaders in the league standing. The game Tuesday started off like a championship content. The Puck Chasers, going to bat first, were re- tired one, two, three, and in turn the Bachelors had only four men at the plate, [Ritchie getting a single alter the Club Tuesday night and made them like it to the tune of 11-6.

Then when Norm. Ritchie came through with a couple of homers that put the finishing touches on and the game became a rout. Hockey Club Students Bachelors , Furniture Co. Since the High School girls organ- ized a team and captured the second prize at the Holstein tournament, in- terest among the local feminine play- ers seems to have undergone a re- juvenation and on Monday evening the first local game between two girls' teams took place. A team representing Knox church took on the High School girls or the “D.D.D.’s" as they are known, and found that they were too much to handle. We can’t say for cer- taln what the correct score was as the scorekeeper went on strike when it passed twenty. However the game has started an interest in girls' teams and we heir rumors that Queen street church is organizing a team also. These church teams will in all probability en- ter the United Church Grey Presbytery League and games with teams from other points are a likelihood in the near future. GIRLS’ TEAMS ORGANIZED TWO IN WEEK Won Lost To Play DURHAM, ONTARIO, CANADA, THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 1932 from asphyxiation last Saturday morn- ing about 630 when overcome by car- bon monoxide fumes from the motor of his car, which he had been running in his garage. Luckily, there was very little gasoline in the tank when the motor was started, and it is due to the fact that this ran out and the motor stopped that Mr. Sharpe is living to- day. Mr. John Sharpe of Norm-.nby Over- come by Fumes From Motor Last Saturday.â€"Is Now PM Fa.- Mr. Sharpe left the house shortly after 6 o’clock to do some work at the barn, but decided to do some work about the car, and started the engine. Mrs. Sharpe heard the engine running, and when it stopped paid no attention to it as she thought her husband had shut/it off and had gone to the barn. A few minutes later Mr. Sharpe was found on the floor beside the car un- conscious about 6.30, in which condi- tion he remained until 2.30 in the at- ternoon. Had Narrow Escape From Poisoning Medical aid was summoned and ev- erything done to combat the monoxide fumes, and Mr. Sharpe is now doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances. For a day or so he was in a rather precarious condition but is now out of danger and no fears are entertained that he will not recover. It is thought Mr. Sharpe was prepar- ing to put his car in condition for the road, and started the engine before re- moving the jacks which held it off the floor. It is thought he was over- come when removing the jacks. It was a very narow escape and Mr. Sharpe will have to exercise care for some time, as it will be some months before he fully recovers.

SIMCOE COUNTY REFORESTATION WORK Those who have occasion to travel the Penetang Road between Hillsdaie and Waverley cannot fail to be im- pressed by the big improvement made in the appearance of the country around Orr Lake as the result of the reforestation work carried on there under the auspices of the County of Simcoe. In this section over 1,000 acres have been purchased by the County and since 1928 about 75 men have been employed there at planting and have set out a total of one million. one hun- dred thousand trees. The anual. plant- ings were as follows: 1928. 120.000; 1929, 350.000; 1930. 30,000: 1931. 300.- 000; 1932. 300,000. A plot.of 16 acres has been planted with nine varieties of conifers to demonstrate to the public how the several kinds will thrive on light, sandy soil. Varieties in this plot are: Red pine. jack pine. Scotch pine. white pine. white spruce. Norway spruce. European larch, white cedar and red cedar. Slmooe County leads the province in reforestry work and the plantings be- tween Hilledfle and Waverley have made a marked improvement may and will. in a few years. completely transform the appearance of that area. This forest comes directly under the supervision of M. A. Adamson, super- intendent of the Midhurst Forestry station. Trees at the Orr Lake station are almost wholly from Midhurst. which hes the reputation of turning out nursery stock of excellent quality.
