TAVISTOCK LAD LOSES LIFE FOLLOWING ACCIDENT (Fatally injured in an automobile accident Saturday afternoon on the Lake Road, Harold Faber, a brush salesman, died while being taken to a London hospital in an ambulance. Faber, a resident of Tavistock, aged 21 years, was driving his car west on the Lake Road accompanied by A. F. Funk, aged 24, also of Tavis­ tock. According to County Traffic Officer Norman Lever Faber was ap­ proaching a side-road a few miles west of Exeter when a car driven by Wm. Decker, of Zurich, came south to the intersection and stopped part way out on the gravel road. His car was pulling a horse trailer be­ hind it. It is stated that Faber swerved to the left in an attempt to miss the other car but the car skid­ ded and caught the fendei’ of the standing car. It went many yards down the road and into a ditch on the north side of the road, striking a telephone pole and took a four- foot length out of it. The car went about 75 feet further ^Sd turn­ ed over twice. Fabei’ was pinned beneath the car and Funk was within. The latter freed himself and with Mr. Decker’s aid lifted the car from Faber, He was removed to Dr. Taylor’s office at Dashwood and from there was ordered to London hospital in an ambulance, but he died when they reached Lucan. Funk was treated for broken ribs and taken to Tavis­ tock. The body was taken to Lon­ don and a preliminary inquest was conducted at St. Joseph’s Hospital. Th© inquest was adjourned Wednesday, August 4th. The first month of the union ser­ vices between Mian .Street and James Street United churches were brought to a close on Sunday last.

Edward Aldworth, of Canore, Sask., who is holidaying with his parents Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Aidworth was the preacher. During the course of an interesting sermon Mr. Aidworth referred to conditions in the dried out areas of the West and spoke of the need of ministers in that part. Quite a number of places this year have had to be left without a minister. He told of children who are now going to school, who during their lifetime had not seen a ,rain, something hard to understand by the people of West­ ern Ontario. On Sunday next Rev. Mr. page, who with Mrs. Page and John have been holidaying in Mus- koka, will have charge of the ser­ vices.
