LUCAN DRIVER IS FINED
FOR RECKLESSNESS
A suddenly shifting cargo, which
through the years has cost the lives
of many sailors, had become a ipto-
blef for highway schooners, too,
County Magistrate Hawkshaw was
told. When Lawrence Forest, of
Brucefield, swerved to miss a car on
No. 4 highway at Lucan, his cargo of
live cattle shifted to one side of the
truck. The sudden swing of weight
turned the truck over. Traffic Of
ficer Harry Gilchrist told about it
when Frank Langford, of Lucan,
pleaded guilty to reckless driving.
It was Langford’s car the truck driv
er swerved to miss. Magistrate
Hawkshaw imposed a fine of $10 and
costs and suspended Langford’s driv
ing license for an unstated period.
Another charge of leaving the scene
of an accident was dismissed when no
evidence was offered. Langford said
he did not know the truck had over
turned.

the efforts of the other fellow unless

Whenever I find myself flying off
the handle and fault-finding with
some particular business or undertak

Criticism is easy and cheap—
Achievement requires ..constructive

ODE TO EARTH
Roll on, terrestrial ball, roll on,

One day Will Rogers appeared at
the gate of Buckingham Palace and
said: “I’m Will Rogers and I’ve come
to see the King,”—to the haughty
guard. “Tell him,” he continued,
“that when the Prhi’ce of Wales was
over in our country he told me to
look u,p his old man some time, and
here I am.”
Rogers was admitted and not only
had a long talk with King George V
but also stayed to lunch.
