Three of the occupants of the car jured and were taken to St. Hospital. Ross Guenther, old son of Earl Guenther, a deep wound on one wrist vered arteries and tendons, twenty lacerations to the chest and abdomen of various sizes and bruis­ es to the head and body. At first it was feared that he was critically in­ jured but hospital reports was that he was not as critically injured as avis at first thought. He is show­ ing considerable improvement and X-ray was given to ensure no other injuries. Mrs. Fred Genttner, 50, of Dash­ wood, suffered minor aibrasions and shock from which she is recovering. Dorothy Wright, four-year-old granddaughter of Mrs. Genttner suf­ fered cuts, bruises and shock. An X-ray showed a broken nose but it is not believed her skull is fractur­ ed. She was much brighter accord­ ing to the hospital bulletin. James Haslett, well-known Lon­ don plumber, Avhc was travelling alone in the second car, escaped with a few cuts to one arm. He did not require medical attention. Haslett’s car was proceeding west on Central Avenue and the Dashwood car was going north on AVellington street. The Dashwood' car turned tlnee times, rolling some down AVellington street. The was torn from the car and at one of the injured was thrown the top on to the road. Dr. Vincent Callaghan was called and after giving first aid treatment to the little boy, who had been car­ ried onto a neighboring lawn, he or­ dered the boy removed to St. Jo­ seph’s Hospital. He was taken there in a police department ambulance. Dorothy Wright was on her way to visit her grandmother, Mrs. Genttner, who resides at Dashwood. Mrs. Genttner has been spending a few days visiting her daughter. Airs. Edward AVright on Giles street, in London. The Guenther boy is not a rela­ tive of the GWttner’s but had come down to London for the trip. Miller, the Guenther Transport driver, was taking the little boy and the little girl , and Mrs, Genttner back to Dashwood. Dr. Callahan said that the three accident victims were making good progress. The boy’s arm was ser­ iously cut and will keep him in the hospital for some time the doctor said. The little girl’s injuries, al­ though not dangerous are painful. Police investigated the circum­ stances of the accident but after re­ ceiving official report did not hold either driver. were in­ Joseph’s 12-year- suffered that se­ about over distance top least thro’ REV.

Rogers, of Elora, was united in marriage to Robert B. Harrison Gamlbrill, elder son of Mr. and Mrs. Gambrill, of Exeter. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. D. Park pastor of t'he Church before an al­ tar thanked with ferns and a profus­ ion of summer flowers. The bride who entered- the church on the arm of her father to the strains of the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin, was lovely in a simple gown of white silk crepe and wore an embroidered veil of Brussels ne't trimmed with orange blossoms and carried a shower bouquet of Premier roses and fern. Her sister, Miss Ella Rog­ ers as attired picture quet of mother figured navy georgette, both wore corsages of roses and fern. The groom was attended by his brother, Mr. Jack Gambrill, of London.

The following day the operation was performed. Mrs. Stainton left Sat­ urday morning to jr in her husband. Mr. Stainton, who has been ill the greater part of July commenced his holidays with the beginning of August and was making a business trip to Cobourg intending to return and take the family on vacation, when this latest developement al­ tered their plans. The many friends o.f Mr. Stainton in this, community will wish for him a speedy recovery. OCCUPIES PULPITS Rev. James Anthony, M.A., of Motherwell, conducted the union services in the United Churches of Exeter om Sunday preaching in Main Street in the morning and James Street Church in the evening. Mr. Anthony preached two very force­ ful sermons, in the evening the theme of big sermon was our duty to the strong, basing his remarks on .the parable where the slothful servant had been deprived of his one talent and it had been given to the. man with the ten talents. The speaker outlined what is being done for the weaik and unfortunate of our day, but having performed I our duty to them let us not forget that we owe something to the strong; to those who are endeavoring to carry the burdens of a difficult and trying time in our history. Such men become weary and dis­ couraged at times and need sym­ pathy and encouragement instead of meaningless criticism. It is criticism and abuse that keeps many a good man from public, office. There should be no catering to the man of foxy brain or grasping hand. There is such a thing as false econo­ my; employing cheap labour, plant­ ing cheap seed and hiring teachers B.D. The Old Boy.-’ Reunion at Cen­ tralia on Civic ’ H-liday, the first ever to be held in -hat village, was an outstanding success in every par­ ticular. It attracted the largest crowd that was ever known to as­ semble there. Former residents from Western Canada, New York Chicago and many other places were, on hand to greet old friends and ac­ quaintances^ mid feel the warmth of the remj; -(‘corded by the Cen­ tralia peep/'.. • Hundreds of people lined the sidewalk far the grand parade at noon led by the Forest Boys’ Band of 35 pieces. And what a parade. It would do credit to many a larger town or city. The Central­ ia people set out to give their visit­ ors fum and entertainment and they did it in grand style. Following the band was a car containing four pioneers, the combined age of whom totalled 370 years. They were Jas. Handford, of Exeter, aged 95; S-ain’l Essery, aged 92; Thos. Mit­ chell, aged 92, both of Centralia, and the latter’s sister, Mrs. Foster of Byron, aged 9o, which with the odd months make up an extra year. But there was another lady on the grounds who was older than any of these. She was Mrs. Sarah Pickering of McGillivray, aged 97 years. Then came the floats, decorated cars, calithumpians and comics. Old and young went to no end of trouble to make this part a success. The wheels of a car of ancient vintage were made off centre and the car with its load ef clowns proceeded in caterpillar fashion. A darkey wed­ ding with all the attendants was performed on a wagon with the family of a few years later trailing behind. The "Dione quintuplets" with parents, nurse, five baby car­ riages and the family cow attracted a lot of attention. There were clowns galore. The prize list below gives the names of the winers, first second and third as the case may be but does not pretend to give the names of the different members of the winning groups.

Skinner The Women’s Asssciation served a sumptuous supper in the church shed and it is estimated that about SOO people sat down to the tables. A baseball game between Lucan and Exeter resulted in a win for the former by the score of 7 to 4. Lu- can scored most of their rung in the 2nd innings and while Exeter filled the bases at different times they could not overtake the lead. The veteran umpire, Hugh Berry, of Usborne, gave good satisfaction at the plate. The evening wound up with a dance on a outdoor platform, music being supplied by the Shamrock Or­ chestra, of Lucan. The dance was well patronized. The old boys’ reunion had its or­ igin at ’the Uderton Fair last fall when Archie Robinson, Wesley Hod­ gins and Rev. A. Duplan suggested an old time ball game and the lat­ ter conveyed the idea to the Wo­ men’s Association. The program was well organized and everything seem­ ed to go off without a hitch. The weather was ideal, it being not too hot. The affair was a success finan- c'ally. A register was kept and al­ most a thousand persons signed it.! Afinong those from a distance who registered were Mr. and Mrs. R.i I-Iuxtable, Hamilton; Kathleen Hicks (Continued on page 4.y off and winners LOWER SCHOOL RESULTS EXETER HIGH SCHOOL FORM 1 The following results have been handed to us by the H.

When was learned that Mr. Gardiner would be home for the week-end ar­ rangements were made to un­ veil the memorial and in spite of the fact that there was little op­ portunity to advertise the service, the church was filled for the occa­ sion, many of his old friends hav­ ing come some distance: In addi­ tion to this Mr. Gardiner was un-« aware that he was to unveil the memorial until ho saw it in one of the Friday murning papers, yet he acquitted himself ;n a very mas­ terly manner and delivered a- very impressive address. Following the ■ service an informal reception was held on the church lawn and Mr. Gardinei’ was photographed along with his mother and his sister, Mrs. George Allen, of Blanshard. Mrs. Gardiner, who is well up in years and is the worthy mother of a worthy son, is not active on her feet and had to be carried, into the service. To listen to the high note of integrity expressed by her son and to see the demonstration of es­ teem and affection by many friends for him must have been one of the crowning joys to a mother who has seen the ups and downs, the joys and sorrows of an outstanding life. The Pastor, Rev, Hugh Taylor,' M.A., B.D., had charge of the ser­ vice and .explained that the joint tablet to the memory of Earl E. and Edwin L.
