Grocery Specials for this week-end Residents of this community were greatly shocked Sunday when it was learned that Mrs. Joseph Hawkiijs had been found dead in her bed and that her death had taken place about a week before. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Hunter, of Usborne, were in town on Sunday attending the funeral of the late Wilmer Elford. Following the funeral Mrs, Hunter went to call on her mother when she was shocked to find that her mpther had succumb­ ed and that she had been dead for some time. Mrs. Hawkins was last seen on the Sunday previous. On that day she had been present at both the morning and evening service in James St. United Church and her son Wilson, of Seaforth, had visited with her leaving just previous to church time. His mother had seemed in ’fairly good health. She had retired as usual at night after having par­ taken of a light lunch and a cup.of cocoa. A half written letter to her daughter, Mrs. Wilbur Hunter, of Salvador, Sask., was on. the table. The fires had burnt out and there was no evidence of any struggle, the deceased having apparently Slept peacefully away, Mrs. Hawkins had been living alone since the death of her husband three years ago. She had frequently been away from home and the fact that 4shes had not been seen around did not arouse any 'alarm. An evening newspaper had been delivered regularly and left upon the verandah. On Thursday Mrs. Hunter was in tolvn and was about to call upon her mother when she was informed by the boy who de­ livers the papers that there was to one at home and she did not go in. Coroner Dr. AV. E. Weekes was called but after reviving the re­ mains he decided that an inquest was not necessary. Mrs. Hawkins’ maiden name was Sarah Oke. She was born on a farm south of Centralia and following her marriage to Mr. Hawkins they farm­ ed for years south of Elimville.

Serious trouble is a bond which arouses sympathy betwee and neighbors bringing closer understanding of oiw a An example of this was expe last week when a most, unfa: accident occurred at Elimvilh- stjrrcd to the depths the feel the people of the community. On Thursday afternoon last children were returning from AVinchelseq Schoolt in two groups, number of girls walking sunn behind five boys who were nearing Elimville corner, t owned by Air. H. T and driven by Air, proceeding from t. trhek neared the girls it slackened speed, blowing the horn almost con­ tinuously as they did not hear it un­ til it was nearly up to them, when they got off the road. The driver continued on his way still driving slowly, warning th® boys in the same way as lie“ did the girls but they did not hear him either, owing no doubt to the confusion of noises from the chopping mill and the strong wind which was blowing from the west at tlie time. The boys saw the truck, in time to step aside but AVilmer,1 third son of Mr. and Airs. AVm. T.! Elford, attempted to cross the road but turned back. Air. Easton turn­ ed out to- pass him, the front, wheels of the trucks did, but owing to the very deep snow the back of the truck did not respond and struck the boy. The truck was stopped in a distance of its own. length. Afr, Easton jump­ ed out and immediately picked up the lad, taking him home in the truck along with his two brothers Lome and Ronald who were with him. Eyewitnesses state that they consider the accident wholly un­ avoidable. Dr. Fletcher/ of Exeter, was summoned from the scene, mid­ Dr. J. H. Browning, the family physi­ cian, was summoned from the home. Air. Easton remained with them’ to render liis assistance in any way pos­ sible throughout the evening. . The little lad’s condition was con­ sidered critical fr.oni the first, as'lie suffered a fractured pelvis, internal injuries and shock. Afr. Rowe's am­ bulance was called and the patient removed to the Children’s Hospital, London; Dr. Browning and Mr. El­ ford accompanying him. Ait er his admittance to the hospital Dr. E. AArilliams was called. Evtrytliing possible was done for the lad and his condition seemed quite favorable until shortly before his death 5.25 Friday morning. The little patient \was mi comfortable on the journey, most of the time and when n he was conscious .and able verse.. Air, Easton accompa ambulance over the difficul the road and the trip was less than three hours as was papers. The having ambulance at its disposal. Ont could not expect better service in a city suburb than was given on this oc­ casion. The remains were brought to Exe­ ter Friday and an investigation held. The decision was given that the ac­ cident was unavoidable and the driver in no wise to blame. AVilmer was a bright Htt.lt lad, 9 years, 6 months and 22 days. Ho was a general favorite at school where he will be greatly missed. He is survived by his sorrowing parents; two brothers Lome and Ronald who are older, and two sister.?, D < Annie who aro both youngs: and Mrs. Michael Elford, of are grandparents.

A special Chinese dinner with chop sticks- and desert spooils was prepared for them at the Canadian Cafe.

'Another course was boiled rooster’s heads with whole mushrooms gar­ nished Avith a delicious Emperor sauce. Dr. Hsieh’s own favorite tea was served without cream or sugar. A Chinese dinner is a leisurely af­ fair taking a great deal longer than for the ordinary meal. Some of the dishes take a very long time in pre­ paration. It was indeeed a very el­ aborate and interesting meal. Tn the afternoon Dr. Hsieh gave an informal address at the Chinese National Club at which there were many Canadian including the Com­ plins. Dr. Hsieh touched on many questions of Chinese affairs and ap­ pealed to the Canadian people for a better treatment of the Chinese people in Canada.
