'A young lady stalled her car ,at ,a traffic light and couldn't get it started. She tried and tried, while behind her an impatient motorist honked his horn steadily. Finally she got out and walked back. "I'm awfully sorry, but I can't start my car," she told -the driver of the other,car pleasantly. "If you'll go and start it for me, I'll stay here and lean ea your horn." a hay baler at the time of the accident, and according to. Gerald Holland, Dublin, who was among the first on the seen.% was pro, ceeding east. It was reported that as the driver cimairienced a turn off the highway to the north, the tractor stalled. The driver sat helpless as the Masters' car ap- proached. Mrs. W. Casler, who lives on the southwest corner of the inter- section, was on her verandah when the crash occurred."There was 'Struck By Car, Youth Injured Opposite Park • Joe Ball, 9 -year-old son of Reeve W. N. Ball and Mrs. Ball, Seaforth, received serious injuries shortly after 6 o'clock Wednesday,when he was in collision with a car in. front of Seaforth Lions Park. He wap , attended at the. scene by Dr. E. Malkus and removed to Scott Memorial Hospital, . Although the park was crowd- ' ed 'with- picnics, few people , saw the accident which occur- red at the highway bridge. Congregational picnics of Northside and First Presby- terian Churches were in pro- gress in, the park and several children attending these picnics had gone from the park and were playing -about the highway bridge. It was while he was returning from the north side of the bridge across the high- way,to the- park that the boy was in collision with a 'car • being dtiven west by- ,Donald Grant Gordon,- 5 Cairns Ave., Dundas. Mr. Gordon, with his wife and son, were on their way to their cottage at Kin; tail. The accident was investigat- ed by OPP Constable J. W. McDowell, an awful crash. I couldn't see the corner for bushes, so 1 jumped off the werandah and ran," she said. She was the first to reach the scene. Mrs. Caster said the Josling boy was still on the tractor and didn't appear to be,burt. The driver was behind the wheel of the Masters' car. Mrs. Masters was crushed be- tween a highway sign and the car in which she had been a passen- ger. So tightly was the vehicle wedged against the sign that it was necessary to pull it away with a truck before Mrs. Masters could be released. M's. Casler said it appeared that the Masters' car had rebounded after the collision. Mrs. Masters had fallen part way out Of the car, and when the car rebounded she was crushed between it and the sign. The driver of a passing truck assisted Mrs. Casler in releasing her. Pollee were called by Glen Pep- per who lives on the northwest cerner, and they in turn called an ainbulance. Mrs. Casler, a -nurse on the staff of Scott Memorial Hos- pital, Seaforth, said police were unable to locate a doctor in Mit- chell. She said she attended Mrs. Masters and that there was no evi- dence of pulse for -at least ten minutes before she was removed y ambulance to Stratford General Hospital. Constable Lloyd Bradley, Seb- ringville OPP, is investigating. An inquest will be held by,neoroner Dr. K. W. McLandress, of Mitchell. $EAFORT11, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1960 IT TAKES BUT A GLANCE at the expressions on the faces of these Seaforth PublieSchool pupils to know what day . it is.

Seek Disfrict Eh AidLionsPcirkMot MPP Promises Action to Cut 45 MPH Speed While through traffic continued to travel along Goderich St. East at 45 m.p.h. on Wednesday, early action to correct the situation can be expected, Charles S. Mac - Naughton, Huron MPP, told The Expositor this week. Mr. MacNaughton said that as soon as he was informed of the situation that had resulted from the increase in speed, he had con- tacted the Deputy Minister of Transport and the traffic engineer in Toronto. He said he had been promised early action to correct the situation, ,and added that he shared the "justifiable concern" which the people 'of Seaforth felt regarding the matter. Meanwhile, Chief of Police El: mer Hutchinson -:has been, told by J. S. Trew, senior traffic control analyst of the Department of High- ways, that a speed of 45 m.p.h. is necessary at the location. Chief Hutchinson had written the depart- ment expressing concern ,at the department's action in increasing the speed within the town limits to 45 m.p.h. Mr. Trew' said, as a result of a study, the 30 -mile zone that bad been in affect was unrealistic and was -having little or no effect on vehicle speeds on the highway. Mr. Trew went on to point out that high approach speeds are characteristic for such roads, and that a function of a speed limit is to warn pedestrians of the speed of vehicles as well as to indicate to motorists a maximum speed. For these reasons it was decided that the limit should be increased to 45 m.p.m. He made no refer- ence to the fact that the area is built-up and carries a heavy load of local traffic to the Lions Park. "The implications of posting this speed limit are fully realized by this Department;" the letter con- tinued, "and we would assure you that' we do not anticipate that the speed of vehicles on this location will increase, and from the num- bers of letters we have received it would appear that the public'are now fully aware of the speed of vehicles on this highway and arc now taking due care, where be- fore they were probably walking along the highway under a sense of false security." The letter in conclusion said the problem would be restudied and that Chief Hutchinson would be advised of the findings and results at that time. Staffa Farmer Injures Arm, Hand, Gordon J. Parsons, 34, RR 1, Staffa, was admitted to Scott Memorial Hospital Tuesday eve- ning with a lacerated right fore- arm and 'hand. Mr. Parsons was operating a self -loading wagon at, the barn on his Hibbert Township farm when the accident occurred about four o'clock. With him was , his nephew, Robert Parsons, 13, , who called Mrs. Parsons. He was at- tended by Dr. M. W. Stapleton. • District residents this week again are being asked for help in maintaining the Lions Park in its present form, so that there may be no lessening of the services be- ing made available. Letters out- lining the problem went out to 2500 families in Seaforth, Tucker - smith, McKillop, and in portions of Hibbert, Morris and Grey. As the appeal letters go out acrqss the district, park officials report that they are receiving in - •creasing requests for picnic ac- commodation, and every indication points to this being one of the big- gest years in the history of the park. Applications for swimming in- struction and water safety courses .are coming in in large numbers. The pool this year will be in charge •of Bruce Langley, who will lzie su- pervisor. A native of Stratford, he has been teaching in the Sund- ridge area. The letters, over the signature of Lions Club President' Elme La- rone, point out the problbms be- ing created by increasing main- tenance costs and lessened revenue. Financial -statements covering esti- mated park maintenance accom- pany the letters. . Donations may be left at any •Seaforth Bankor_forwarded to J. E. Keating, Seaferth, who is treas- urer. Receipts for income tax pur- poses are available if requested. Meanwhile, activity at the Park is rapidly reaching the summer peak.
