W, Taman, played a very heroic part in the saving of a little lad from drowning at Grand Bend on Sunday afternoon last. The lad, About four years of age, was play­ ing wth a small sailboat on the breakwater east of the pier, when he overbalanced and fell into the river, a distance of about six feet, at a spot where the water is quite deep. While there were a number on the pier and in the vicinity none saw the little lad fall into the water* and had it not been for the quick work of Miss Margaret, the child would have undoubtedly met a watery grave. Miss Taman and Miss Cath­ erine Wood, dressed in their bath-? ing suits, were going onto the pier at the time and saw the lad, whom they at first thought was a boy swimming, but on seeing him go down for the third time, Miss Mar­ garet who is an accomplished swim­ mer, plunged into the water and suc­ ceeded in reaching the spot and res­ cuing the drowning lad. She swam with him to some nearby rocks and with great presence of mind shook the water from the lad, who had become unconscious and whose first words after regaining consciousness was concerning his little boat. Miss Catherine Wood followed Margaret in a boat and Mr, Bruer, of Parkhill, was also soon, on the spot and took charge of the lad, who is a son. of Major Allen Campbell manager of the Canadian Bank of Commerce at Parkhill. The little fellow was supposed to be in charge of an elder brother, who was farther out on the dock at the time. Miss Margaret on Tuesday receiv­ ed a letter of appreciation from the parents of the child and alsV> a fine box of chocolates. Friends of the heroic girl, who saw her gallant ac­ tion intend appealing to the Humane Society for a medal. UNDERWENT OPERATION * » Mr. R. N. Creech, who has been ill for some time, last week under­ went an operation at Victoria Hos­ pital in London. During the week a number of friends have called on him and he is getting along as well as can be expected. FARM AND CROP SOLD An acuction sale of the farm stock and implements of Mr. Andrew Gibson, of the Thames Road, was held on Monday. The one hundred acre farm with all the standing crop was sold to Mr. Archie Towers for $5,400. A few years ago Mr. Gib­ son was offered $12,000 for the farm. Good prices were realized for the stock and implements. TOP OF THUMB TAKEN OFF On Wednesday of last week while Mrs. Wm. Coates, was in the act of splitting some kindling she had the misfortune to cut off the top part of the thumb of the left hand. Mrs. Coates was holding the stick with her left hand and the axe struck the thumb just behind the nail. She was brought to the offee of Dr. Flet­ cher and had the injured member dressed. FINGERS BADLY SPRAINED Billy Reynolds, the four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Luther Rey­ nolds, of Usborne, met with a very painful accident on Wednesday last when he gat his hand caught in a pully as they were drawing off a load- of hay at the barn. He was taken ito Dr. Fletcher’s office at once and it was found that three fingers were badly torn requiring six stit­ ches to close the wounds. The fellow is doing nicely. little VOTE FOR THE BY-LAW On Monday next the ratepayers of Exeter will vote on the question as to whether Exeter will have a new school. A vote was taken a month ago .for a new public school and it was turned down by a small major­ ity. This tme the ratepayers are be­ ing asked to vote $20,000 for a new high school. By putting up a build­ ing for high school purposes the cost will be considerably less to the rate­ payers of Exeter than, it would if the building were erected for public school purposes. This is accounted for by the fact that the high school takes in pupils from outside the town and in proportion that pupils from outside of Exeter attend the school the county has to bear that proportion of cost. The attendance of outside pupils during the past few years has been in. the neighborhood of 50% and on that basis the county would pay about one-half the cost. The debentures for the whole amount are guaranteed by the town but the county each year will pay to the town their proportion to help meet these debentures. By this arrange­ ment the cost to the ratepayers will be less than one mill on the dollar on about 75c. to 80c. for every thou­ sand dollar assessment. Cast your vote next Monday to provide the ne­ cessary accommodation, to give the youth of ths community the be£t ed- camp days CAPTURES CUP FOB NEATNESS AT CAMP The men have returned from at London after spending ten at Carling’s Heights. The Huron Regiment was commended by Gen­ eral Armstrong for -the excellent condition in which they’ kept their kitchens, canteens, tents and lines and all their section of the camp. They were successful in carrying off the cup donated for this purpose. 'Coionel^’-Hdaman, irf town, is the commanding officer of the Huron Regiment. Mr. Douglas Thompson, employee of Chambers Garage, had the mis­ fortune to meet with an accident on Saturday. He was jacking up a car when something slipped and the handle of the jack struck Mr. Thompson on the ear causing a nasty gash which necessitated a stitch to close. It was dressed by Dr. Weekes. A half inch nearer the head and the accident would have been attended with serious results. ,i OB1 BATTERY RADIO SETS We Can Help You to See Better Our method of testing is most complete and our prices moderate^ Office hours 9.30 to 12 a.ip. and! to 5 p,m.
