Dies From Shock A pOpular member of the 1930' graduating class of the Listowel high school passed away under tragic cir- cumstances on Thursday evening, July 21, when Maxwell Cliflord Kinkead, aged twenty, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Samuel Kinkead or Briton, was accidentally drowned while bathing in the St. Lawrence River at Eastview, a summer resort five miles east of Kingston. Death is thought to have been caused by a shock, as his body was recovered almost immediately from the water and a very small amount of water was found to have entered the lungs. All efforts to re- vive him failed. Max was in good h’ealth.â€"Listowel Banner. the return journey and was home at ten minutes after nine. Speaking to the Enterprise-Bulletin Mr. Staples was en- thused with the beauties of the walk, the wild flowers, the trees and shrub- bery, the perfumes of Nature’s bounties.

An Enthusiastic Biker Mr. A. F. Staples, the town’s famed hiker, had an enjoyable walk along the King's Highway, before breakfast on Tuesday morning. Starting at 5 o’clock the energetic traveller followed the con- crete to Stayner, then turning, made yer in the council chamber on Monday alternoon when the enforcement of payment of a license fee under the Transient Traders’ Bylaw was sought by the town. The defendant, who ad- vertised a sale of bankrupt stock, gave evidence that he was engaged to do so by a local merchant and that he was simply acting for him. Further evi- dence was also given showing that the local man had paid the rental of the premises being used for the sale. The case was dismissed after a three hour argument.â€"-Mount Forest Confederate. Listowel Trio Very Lucky Three promising youths of Listowel have demonstrated to the world that low Man Depression can be defeated. Recently they took a motor trip to a neighbouring summer resort. As grow- ing boys have the habit of doing, to~ ward evening they became hungry. Go- ing into one of the restaurants they ordered a fair sized meal and asked to have the total costs put on one check. The waiter was accommodating but the food for the inner men cost 90c. Pool- ing their financial resources the boys managed to accumulate 75c. Were they depressed? No, not they. Paying 65c on deposit they took the remaining dime and speculated on the slot machine. It was a rising market, and lo and be- hold on the first plunge out came 40c. The little lunch debt was settled. The remaining profits were invested in gaS- olinte, and the boys started for home re- joicing. After an uneventful journey they reached Listowel just as the sup- ply of gasoline became completely ex- hausted. The boys are firmly convinced that all that is necessary in this old world is faith. hope courage and a will- ingness to take a chanceâ€"plus a heap' of luck. â€"Listowel Standard.

Young McNaughton, who has been employed at the Kirby Garage in that village since last March, was a passen- ger in a. wrecker driven by his employ- er, James Kirby, when it drove at a fairly good speed into the rear of a heavy wagon on which was a hay rack and was driven by William McRae, a farmer of Culross township. In the im- pact the car was badly damaged, the wagon demolished, and one of the boards of the rack was driven into one of the horses, inficting terrible wounds. Efforts were being made to save the animal, but it will probably have to be destroyed. Fortunately Mr. McRae escaped with a shaking up and Mr. Kirby also came through unscathed, but Victor Mc- Naughton was not so fortunate, and when it was seen that he was injured he was removed to the home of his aunt, Miss Christie, where on examina- tion it was found that he had two fractured ribs and was also cut and bruisedâ€"Walkerton Telescope. The contract has been awarded to R. H. McGregor, M. P. of Toronto, and actual laying of pavement will com- mence in about a week, we understand. The Department takes the position that it is responsible for the road and that strong objections to its condition at the present time have come from certain sections of the County of Grey. Grey’s interest in the road arises from the fact that Grey County residents have to travel over it when going to Toronto or other points south.â€"â€"Dundalk Herald.

Criticism of the King for the part he played on the formation of the Na- tional Government last year was ex- pressed Saturday by H. G.

At the same time it was announced that a drive for a new bonus march to Washington when Congress con- venes next December had been started. The march is planned under the aus- pices of the Workers’ Ex-Service Men's League, which has in its ranks many Communists and which has been active in the recent demonstrations in Wash- ington.

So we hone there are plenty of boosters; naturally there are bound to be knock- ers. That’s all a certain bunch in this town have time to do. Not that this place is any different than most towns. Every town has its band of knockers. It is just that element that keeps it a town always. They congregate and grumble and chew because there is nothing 'going on; but they are the very first ones to criticize when any- one does attempt something of benefit to the community. However, why waste time on this type of citizen. We have plenty of public-spirited men in the town. And now they are the ones who should receive all the encouragement possible. It is a good causeâ€"the pro- ceeds to go to the welfare committee of the town. An Important Organization Another group which it might be well to encourage and boost is the band. It is improving remarkably with each practice and. taking all into con- sideration, the members deserve much credit. It is an organization which is the very backbone of social and com- munity life. No doubt there are bands which listen better; but for a small out- tit like Durham. one- could not expect it to rival Goldman's or Sousa's. They are doing splendidly.
