Narrow degc Cause of Accident The narrow, southern bridge on the county line, at the edge 0! Hanover, was. the scene of an accident last Wed- nesday which might easily have had serious results. Mr. and Mrs. Norman Becker 0! Brant were driving into town with a horse and buggy, and, as they were on the bridge, a car driven by Walter Boettcher oi town attempted to pass them, going in the same direc- ion. The bridge was too narrow, and the car hit the wheels of the buggy. smashing the shaits, and only the rail- ing prevented the Brant couple from being knocked into the river.

Recovering From Accident Should Not Block Streets While the members of town council do not expect Chief Ferguson to he constantly in the business section of the town, they have instructed him that the practice of large trucks holding up traflic while they unload must cease. Ashley Alliston, 13 years of age, who was knocked down by a motorist at the foot of the West End Hill, town, at about 7.30 o’clock on Tuesday even- ing, was only slightly injured. Councillor Alex. George brought this to the attention of the board on Mon- day evening, instancing one truck, dur- ig a busy time last Saturday afternoon, occupying the larger portion of the pavement in front of one of the busi- ness places. Councillor Burrows stated that he had observed a similar situation, but Everyone, but especially Edward Singer, the driver of the light truck which ran into him, and Mrs. Moody, the lad’s grandmother, with whom he lives, was greatly relieved when Dr. T. A. Sinclair’s examination showed that no bones were broken and bruises above one ear and near one of his knees were not at all serious. Due to being stunned, Ashley spent a restless night, but at. noon on Wednesday he was sleeping quietly, and it is thought that, in a few days’ time, he will be about none the worse of the accidentâ€"Walk- erton Telescope.

Mr. McCartney, who lived on the fifth line, near Dracon, was driving with a horse and buggy, delivering a lamb to J. Kane. He was at Saunders’ bridge at 9 o’clock, when the buggy was struck by a car driven by Dr. Hugh Ross, a Toronto dentist, who was re- turning home on the evening of Civic holiday, after a day spent at Port El- gin. The horse and the lamb were found after the accident uninjured, but Mr. McCartney had received a frac- ture of the skull. Dr. J. Russell was soon on the scene but could do nothing and Coroner Dr. J. K. Balr was noti- fiedâ€"Fergus News-Record. Death Accidental With Coroner Dr. R. C. Shaver, of Stayner, presiding, an inquest was held respecting the death of Norman Strad- ling, in the G. ~M.

Drowns in Bay The waters of the bay, along the east shore of St. Lawrence street. claimed the life of Frederick Orval (Teddy), the thirteen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Newman, on Fri- day afternoon. With a companion, Her- bert Chapman, he was playing on a small raft constructed from boards gathered on the shore. Floating about on this the boys were carried out to- ward Open water by a strong westerly wind and before they realized their position they were beyond their depth. Becoming frightened both jumped off the flimsy raft with the intention of swimming ashore. Chapman was suc- cessful, but Newton sank and was drowned. Both were fair swimmers. The body was recovered shortly after, about seventy-five yards from shore, in eight. feet of water, but the life of the little fellow was gone.â€"Collingwood Enterprise -Bulletin. Old-fashioned Punishment Have you heard of the new sect which has its origin in this commun- ity? Their belief is conversion by the laying on of hands, but the belief does not necessarily have a religious at- mosphere. Their doctrine is sound, nevertheless. To be more explicit, the story as related to us is that a num- her of the fair and weaker (?) sex went to a pOpular bathing pool in the Mait- land, near this village, one of those hot evenings last week. While they were enjoying themselves in the water, a young boy, whose home isn't a hun- dred miles from the pool. sought to embarrass the bathers by scatteringI their shoes, stockings, dresses and var- ious unmentionables throughout the adjacent scenery. The ladies weren’t taking this as much of a joke, and they gave chase, finally overtaking the mis- creant. Then the real fun began. Most of these women have had eXperienoe in the old-fashioned form of chastise- ; ment, and they finally succeeded in re- [m'oving enough of their captive’s ap- l parel to administer a peach of a Spank- ‘ ing just where it feels the worst and. takes the most en‘ect.

He died Monday from the resultant infection. Britain’s vast cotton industry was threatened Monday with a strike which would involve almost 500,000 Operatives.

Complaints from the Lord’s Day A1- liance filed with City Council at Kitch- ener Monday night against the Kitch- ener-Waterloo Airport Commission al- lowing air pilots to take up passen- gers for pleasaure on Sunday contrary to the Lord’s Day Act, received scant consideration from the aldermen.

That an unknown youth was respon- sible for the death of James Houston, Hamilton, aged 27 years, who was drowned in Burlington Beach Canal on July 31, was the finding of a jury un- der Coroner Dr. 0.

The Canadian Parliament may be assembled the middle of October to give eflect to the agreements made at the present- Economic Conference. It is explained that the Government had pretty well decided on November 3 or thereabouts fOr the opening of the sesâ€" sion, but that was based on the expec- tation that the conference would last a couple of weeks longer than seems probable at present. Accordingly, the question will be considered as soon as the conference is over. Don’t kid yourself that I didn’t have a great time Thursday. It sure was a great day. That shower of rain that sort of teased as sure gave me the “woolies.” However, the bright sun- shine of the afternoon more than made up for it. It was a lovely sight, all the bright colours mingled together, the green grass and the beautiful trees surrounding the grounds. I think the band was exceptionally generous and their efforts are much appreciated. The Scotch laddies did much toward liven- ing up the crowd also. It sure was great to see the “special officers” trying to keep out the kiddies. I had a good laugh when Jim Nichol, with his big umbrella marched up and down in front of a fence and as soon as his back was turned a whole con- tingent would dash in. And “Ham” Allen sure looked important patrolling his beat. He was none too successful. either. But if the kiddies have enough pep to get in there. more power to them. I can’t see for the life of me. though, how some adults have enough “cheek” to try to sneak in. And they did, too. I hope they enjoyed the “two bits” they saved. When they were rushing in the birds all sang “Cheap! Cheap! Cheap ! ” The citizens turned out in fine style. They were loyal to the cause and prove the sporting spirit. of the town. And they were not disappointed, I know. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Allan Bell was quite authoritative when he made his rounds with the bat at the Durham-Hanover game. How- ever. he took it standing up when someone slugged the ball a mighty wal- 10p and it landed on his “corporation.” And Mayor Murdock disproved that old song, "The Old Grey (Mare) ..
