CHILD’S FINGER BECOMES
STUCK IN BOTTLE NECK
A curious accident which fortun
ately did not have serious results
befell Merna Pym, four-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ewart
Pym, of Simcoe Street early on Mon
day. Merna was playing with an-
other child when her companion
thought it would be a good idea to
see if Merna’s finger would go into
the neck of a bottle. It did, but it
wouldn’t come out so easily. In fact
after one of the neighbor* broke the
bottle the neck still remained on
the finger which by this time was
swelling rapidly. Thoroughly alarm
ed the parents had the child taken
to Dr. M. C. G. Fletcher who was
successful in removing t-he
without having to break it.

One of the best known men in this
community and known to the travel
ling public for many years as one of
the outstanding hotelkeepers, of tlie
smaller municipalities, William
Thomas Acheson died, at St. Jo
seph’s Hospital, London, on Friday,
September 22nd in his 78th year.
The news of his death came as a
shock to his many friends. Mr.
Acheson was, a well-known figure
on our streets -being about town
practically every day. It was while
visiting .at the store of his son-in-
law H. S. Walter Thursday after
noon, that he complained of not feel
ing well. Friday afternooxx he was
taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital where
he underwent' axx operation and
passed away the following morning.
The deceased wa* a life-long resx-
dent of Exetex’ having been born oxx
Huron street in the residence now
occupied by Mr. W. H. Penhale.‘He
was united ixx marriage with Miss
Florence Oke and in 1888 took over
the Central Hotel from his father-
in-law, the late Jaxnes Oke. That
wa* in the days whexx hotels were
more numerous. Ixx 1924 Mr. Ache
son disposed of the hotel to Mr.
Chester Lee, who in turn sold out
to M-r. E. Lowry. The hotel is at
present owned and operated by
Hemer Bagshaw. Tlxe deceased

Action is to be taken against the

the suspension of the C. T. A.
Huron County, stated Rev. J.
Stainton in a temperance sermon
before a large congregation in James
St. United Church Sunday evening.
The speaker said that according
to Hon. Newton W. Rowell one of
the best authorities in* this province
the Canada Temperance Act is still
in effect in Huron County. The C.
T. A. was suspended only while the
Ontario Temperance Act' remained
a more restrictive measure than the
C. T. A.
A committee of temperance people
.from Huron County met with a com
mittee from Pei'th in Mitchell
Friday evening of last week and
courses of action were decided
First to make, representation by
.legation to Parliament and failing to
have the C. T. A. suspension' lifted,
action will be taken against the ho
tel-keepers in these counties with
the Ontario (Liquor Comission as co
defendants. Let the patrons of
these beverage rooms take warning
that they too are buying illegally,
said the speaker.
In< speaking of Dr. Shields, of
Toronto and Mr. Hep-burn, on the
liquor question, iM-r. Stainton said
■that Dr. Shields is nearer right than
Mr. Hepburn. Perhaps Dr. Shield*
would have -used better judgment
had he joined with the temperance
forces earlier ini theix* .protests. It
must be a fact, however, that' Mr.
Hepburn is strongly in favor of beer
and wine when he goes further than
the old Conservative government
(and God knows that they were bad
enough) when' he places thirteen
authorities in Huron County.
We can’t help thixxkin'g, continu
ed the speaker, that our representa
tive, Mr. Ballantyne, has not been
as interested ixx the temperance
people as he has. been in those de
sirous of securing authorities to sell
beex- and wine. According to Mr.
Hepburn Mr. Ballantyne had accom
panied the representative from Go
derich who was seeking authority.
'However, in fairness 'to Mr. Ballan
tyne we must recognize that it was
his duty as sitting member, espec
ially a* inspectors have not been
appointed to validate the applica
tions of hotel-keepers applying for
authorities.
