The suit results from an accident that occurred near Centralia on October 12, 1931. V. T. Foley is acting for the farmer. In his statement of claim, Bice lists some of his injuries and illness­ es. He says he was permanently hurt and suffered great pain. He blames his accident for diabetes, heart trouble, injury to his lungs, kidney trouble and spine injury. His general state of health has been im­ paired. The farmer claims he was driving south on No. 4 highway about seven o’clock in the evening of October 12 when the accident occurred just east of the Village of Centralia, near the Middlesex County border line. He alleges that a car driven by Jones crashed into him from the rear. .He charges the motorist was driving in a reckless and negligent manner, at an excessive speed and without lights.

The individual has • the strength of the pack behind him. ******** STRICTLY UP-TO-DATE is a gloomy moment in history. Not for many years—not“it the life-time of most men who read this paper—-has there been much grave and deep apprehension; never has the future seem_ so incalcuable as at this time. “In our own country there is a universal commercial prostra­ tion and panic, and thousands of our poorest fellow" citizens are turned put against the approaching winter without employment, and without the prospect of it. In France the political caldron seethes and bubbles with uncertainty; Russia hangs, as usual, like a cloud, dark and silent, upon the horizon of Europe; while all t’he energies, resources and influences of the British Empire are sore­ ly tried, and are yet to be tried more sorely, in coping with tihe vast and deadly Indian insurrection, and with its disturbed rela­ tions in China. It is a solemn moment and no man can feel an in­ difference (which happily, no man pretends to feel), in the issue of events. Of our troubles no man can see the end. They aire for­ tunately, as yet, mainly commercial; and if we ar© only to lose • money, and by painful poverty to be taught wisdom—the wisdom of honour, of faith, of sympathy and of charity—no man need ser­ iously to desp”air.

Switzei‘, teacher Nora Grace Volk, The first teacher at Woodham was Joseph Irvine and great credit mat be given to the trustees and author­ ities for their selection. He was n teacher beloved by pupils and par­ ents alike and yet a strict disci#* lintarian. After a few introductory’ remarks, he proceeded to register all and sundry. This completed, he took from the recesses of his desk a formidable looking article in the form of a three.foot rawhide. After modestly describing its virtues and announcing to one and all that he called it a medical doctor and hop­ ed he would have few occasions for its service; he proceeded to? replacer it with had not but had 4 p.m. here that any time Joseph was call-' ed upon to use his M.D. he had pro-’ vocative reason for which I bear witness, having been introduced io' that M.D. or rather the M.D. intro­ duction to me and the efficacy of its was sufficient. :Som© prominent ed men also came ham school and made their mark in the world.

Kirkton was well re­ presented and as the forces from the two villages and vicinity com­ bined and lined up in front of ths store, Mr. Neeley being in good spir­ its, threw open his doors and invit-' ed the boys to select anything they desired. This offer was promptly acted upon and when the selection was complete so wa,s the grocery side of Ulie store. In fact a cyclor.© could not have made more havoT. Some protestations were made at the amount of goods taken, but Mr- Neeley waived all that aside. In fact he was so infatuated and happy if they had cleaned the store entire­ ly he would have made no protest.

As I go back to the day of the opening of the Woodham school, I cannot help but remark on th© coni trast of that day, January, second, 1879, and of the present year or in fact for th© past few winters. As I recall that winter and many succeed­ ing winters snow was so plentiful that it was impossible to see the old snake fences in use -then. Nev­ ertheless it did not stop the chil­ dren from attending school and what a surprise was in store for those who formerly attended the Kirkton to find the schoolhouse filled and a great many strange faces.
