FOUR EXETER GIRDS
HAVE JHRACULOUS ESCAPE
WHEN CAR GOES OVER
BRIDGE
Friday, Novembei4 13th was* both
an unlucky and a lucky day for four
Exeter young ladies when a car in
which they were1 riding got; out of
control while going down the hill
south of the Aux iSalble river and
crashed through the wegt side of
the bridge, carrying away part of the
iron railing of the foot bridge and
dropping about fifteen feet, turning
oyer in the air and landing on. its
j top the occupants escaping with
■ only minor injuries. (Miss Jean
Penhale, daughter of Mr. Luther J.
Penhale, in company with Misses
Viola Skinner, Jean Pilon and Ruth’
Fraser, was out driving her
father’s Buick sedan and shortly af
ter eight o’clock they were driving
north going down the hill south of
the river. A couple of icars were
parked at the side of th® road and
in meeting another oar Mis,5 Pen-
hale was crowded off the pavement.
The road was muddy and slippery
at the spot and was several inches
below the pavement. In endeavor
ing toi swing the car back onto th®
pavement the driver lost control of
the car when near the bridge and
the car shot across the road just
missing the large steel upright on"
the west side of the Jbridge. In
striking the railing it carried away
two iron posts and nose-dived: to
the river bed landing with its
wheels in the air. The car landed
just a few feet from the water’s
edge. Neighbors in the vicinity
were soon on the scene. Three of
the -girls were able to- crawl out
from the car but Miss Jean Pilon
who was more or less stunned had
to be lifted out and was carried to
tbe residence of |Mr. Thos. Elliott.
The driver of the car also collapsed
from the shock. Later they were
removed to their homes.’ Miss. Pil
on is still confined to her bed1 suf
fering from a cracked rib and
shock. It was certainly only by a
miracle that the girls were saved
from serious injury and in that re
spect Friday, the 13th' was a lucky
day for them.
The car was badly wrecked. It
was 'drawn .out the .same evening
by a team of .horses and was taken
to r the garage of Pollen & Coates.
•' ,Soon after the accident happened’
a large crowd- of people were on the
scene, including tr-afife officer Lev
er, of Clinton, traffic officer, Whit-
ty, of London, and Constable Norry.
It wqs reported in the London and
Stratford paper's that Prof. Glad
stone, phychologist, who ' appeared
at the theatre, answering questions
in reference to lost articles, friends
and giving advice in regards to fin
ancial questions, startled] the au
dience when, answering a man’s
question, he stopped suddenly and
exclaimed: “Oh, I see an accident.
Four Exeter girls h'ave crashed
through a bridge, and -are in the
river, somewhere. I can’t see ex
actly where, but there is an ac’cident
No one is killed nor hurt seriously.”
A few minutes later an attendant
paged Mr. Penhale, father, of Miss
Jean, and owner of the car that was
wrecked.” The report is in error in
tli'a-t Mr. Penhale was first paged
and then later. Mrs. Penhale was
paged and sometime later Prof.
Gladstone made the announcement.

Here’s Out* Final Word To Candidates And Subscribers
After five weeks of strenuous ‘campaigning and fair weather
the Ti;nes-A4wo.cate’s great subscripition drive comes to a close on '
Saturday, November 2? at 3 p.m. sharp. The last few weeks have
been the most, exciting of the entire contest, again proving that
time coupled with energy and perseverance, brings results in al
most all walks of life, but especially so, in a contest such as has
been conducted by the Times-Advocate in the past few weeks. Up
to the present time there have been between fourteen hundred and
two thousand paid subscriptions turned in with scores of new
names added to. our list, all helping to the success of the big sub
scription drive. Now the only thing that remains unknown is, just
how the valuable list of prizes will.be awarded to the candidates
at the close of the contest on Saturday, November 28th at 3 p,in.
As the closing hour approaches we would ask special1 consid
eration for the candidates on the part -of those who have not yet
responded to their solicitations in order that on Saturday, Novem
ber' 28th there will be no regrets and all 'may feel that they have *
had their 'part iii a successful undertaking. Don’t let it occur that
your favourite -candidate fails in securing one of the big prizes
through any neglect on your part. Send in another year’s sub
scription whether it be new or renewal. Now is the time; the race
is close, the time is short, and your subscription may be the de- ‘
ciding one- to put her in first place. The count of votes will be
made immediately after the closing hour at 3 p.m. November 28th.
and the candidates and all their friends are invited to be present.
The winners of the special prizes to Friday, November 13 were
Miss Alice Hoffman, Dashwood, ladies’ leather club bag; Mrs. Lee
Wilson, Exeter, ladies’ leather purse; Mrs. Walter Harness, Ex- ’
eter, ladies’ leather purse.
The standing of the candidates will be found on page 4
