CIRCUIT CHANGES There is every possibility that there will be a change in the past­ oral charge of the Elimville circuit of the United church following the present conference year. The cir­ cuit has comprised the Elimville and Zion churches. For several years there has been a desire on the part of Zion congregation for a re-ar- rangement of charges. At a re­ cent meeting of the Zion congrega­ tion the members voted strongly in favor of joining with the Centralia circuit. This, we understand, meets with the approval of the Centralia and Whalen congregations and will thus make this a desirable three point charge, Last week a meeting of the Elimville congregation was held and after considerable discus­ sion a resolution was passed almost unanimously expressing a desire to unite with Thames Road and Roys. As the Elimville church is less than three miles from the Thames Road manse the matter of supplying Elim­ ville would not be a difficult one . particularly as the Pastor, Rev. Mr. Mair, has no evening service at pre­ sent. Adding Elimville to Thames Road and Roys would also make - this a very desirable charge. The ; matter has been dealt with by the i boundary commission and a recom- ■ mendation to this effect will . brought before the next meeting .

DASHWOOD MEN INJURED ( IN ACCIDENT I Four Dashwood men, one of them 74 years old, were seriously injured Monday when the car in which they were riding struck the side of a bridge over the Medway Creek, about six miles north of London on No. 4 highway. Two- of the four are in critical condition. In St. Joseph’s Hospital are: Hubert Restemeyer, 22 employee of a butcher shop in Dashwood; head injuries and suspected fracture of the skull; condition critical. Andrew Musser, 74, retired, living in Dashwood, but formerly, or Lon­ don; head injury fractured hip, sev­ ere lecerations and extreme shock; condition critical. Melvin Restemeyei), 24,, farmer on the 11th concession of Hay Tw,p. cousin of Hubert Restemeyer, head injury and fractured ankle. Edwin Miller, 29, employee of a garage at Dashwood, head injuries. Latest reports state that the men are all showng slight improvement. Mr. Mussei' and Hubert Restemeyer, both with skull injury are the most seriously hurt. In a desperate attempt by its driver to avoid striking the wreck­ ed car a few minutes after the crash a huge Labatt tractor and semi­ trailer skidded into the ditch, turn­ over on its side facing the direction from which it came. Even though it went into the ditch, the truck did not esca-pe striking the wreckage. The Labatt truck was the first vehicle on the scene after the mis­ hap. It’s driver found four men there in urgent need of medical at­ tention, and he broadcast the request for aid. Cause is Mystery Police profess themselves unable to explain what it was that appar­ ently sent the Dashwood car onto its wrong side of the road, to crash into two .guard rails, and then the steel railing of the bridge. Unable to interview any of the four in the car because of their con­ ditions, and with only marks on the road to judge from, the .police said they believed no other vehicle was involved. Damp snow made driving conditions extremely bad at the time They said it appeared, that the car had. been northbound. The front of the car struck the bridge railing, and the rear end slid across the road. Traffic Officer Harry told one of the four was in the back seat of the car; another was leaning 'against the radiator, one was in the ditch and another was leaning against the bridge railing. ** Officer Lemon was unable to de­ termine who was the driver of the car. The car was almost complete ly wrecked. HOCKEY Exeter ..

Playing their first game of the Cyclone League^ schedule on their home ice last Thursday night Exeter started the season with a bang, de­ feating Crediton five to two iin one •of the roughest matches witnessed here for some time. In all there were no less than 19 penalties dish­ ed out handle age. The open hockey both teams missing sev­ eral chances to score. With about four minutes to go while Exeter were short 2 men! and Crediton 1, Din- ney and Beavers stole the puck from their opponents and Dinney making a spectacular rush, backhanded the puck into the net unassisted. The enthusiasm of the players resulted in 8 penalties. The second period rolled into ac­ tion with Exeter extending their lead when Ryckman centered the puck out from behind the net to Cornish who banged it in. Dinney Gets Two Beavers and Dinney clicked again, Beavers setting up Bob who flipped it his second counter, gan mixing it and sary penalties were handed out to both teams. The local boys rammed in another goal when Beavers bulged the twine from a scramble in front of the net. Crediton came back very strong and scored their first tally when Bowden grabbed the puck from the face-off and shot it into- the cor­ ner of the net. The teams went into the final frame with Exeter three goals up on their rivals. Both teams put up a poor exhibition of hockey during this period and six more players were put in the pen fur arguing and roughing. Early in the period Mac­ Donald broke away and put the game on ice with an accurate shot from the side of the net. The visitors scored their second counter when Bowman took the pass from Abt Haist and sailing in on Ford, scoop­ ed the puck past him, The line-ups Exeter—Goal, Ford; defense, Hey­ wood, Cornish; centre, MacDonald; wings, Ryckman, Lutman; subs.
