A new well about 33 feet deep was sunk on the roadway near Mr. W. F. Abbott’s and the well is now providing sixty-six gal­ lons of water per minute for about twelve hours in the day. This to­ gether with the previous supply is now ample to meet the needs with­ out touching the reserve supply. A new building for the housing of the pump has been erected and has been painted white and green.

DROWNING AT GRAND BEND j BUSINESS PLACES ENTERED Grand Bend witnessed its first drowning accident of the year about six o’clock Sunday afternoon when William Gerald Longeway, 15-year- old son of Mrs. Agnes Longeway, of Kennicott, Logan Township, was drowned in the mouth of the river. In company with his sister, Miss Ev­ elyn Longeway, a student at West­ ern University home on vacation, Gerald had gone to Grand Bend for the afternoon, It is believed that he dived from the dock and attempt­ ed to swim the river and became either exhausted or choked. The boy’s cries for help) were echoed by those on the dock and Bill Mitchell- tree and Leonard Pierce, of Park­ hill, some distance away rushed to the scene, discarded tlieir clothes on the dock and dived to the rescue. It was some minutes before the body was discovered in deep water by Mitcheltree and brought to the sur­ face. Dr. Cowen and his young son Charles in their motor boat was at the scene and the drowning victim was pulled into the boat. He was lifted to the dock where an attempt was made at resuscitation. A few minutes later when a fierce electri­ cal storm broke the body was remov­ ed to a fishing shanty. Dr. Gillespie and Dr. N. F. Schram, who were at thje Bend were soon on the scene and administered adrenalin three times to the stricken boy without results and pronounced life extinct. Harold Whyte, of Exeter, hydro lineman, well versed in resuscitation, worked heroically over the lad be­ fore giving him up. J. Hubert Jones of town, whose cottage is near-by also rendered all assistance possible. Shortly after the drowning, the boy’s sister in her bathing suit, who had been informed of the accident came to the pier. She was later taken under the care of Mrs. Joseph Brenner. Gerald is survived by his mother and sister. His father met death in a drowning March 26, 1931. The dence is on Highway Mitchell and Monkton. Coroner Dr. Hubbert, of Forest, was summoned and he decided that an inquest was not necessary. The body was removed to the Mclsaac funeral, parlor at Dashwood. The victim was a member of St. Brigid’s Roman Catholic Church, Kennicott. Interment took place Wednesday in St. Vincent De Paul Cemetery, Mit­ chell. broken into during the early wa's made to break into the At the Ford garage entrance XSEBALL accident on family resi- 23 between EXETER COUNCIL Regular meeting of tne Municipal Council held with all members pres­ ent.

Per Tuckey - notice be given garding Two places of business in Exeter were hours of Sunday morning and an at­ tempt third, was made through a window and the till was rifled of about twelve dol­ lars in change. As far as can be learned nothing was taken from the valuable line of accessories carried. Entrance was made into the rear of Martin’s Music Store but the intrud­ er was unable to gain entrance into the main part of the store. A part of a window pane was taken out to gain, admittance. Nothing was report­ ed stolen. A third attempt was made to gain entrance into G. A. Hawkins’ Hardware by trying to pry up a win-, dow but the window was locked. Evi-; dently it was money that the robber or robbers were after as a window in one of the near-by stores was left open inside of which was valuable merchandise that could have been carried off with very little difficulty. The rifling of the till at the Ford Garage was the second inside of a few months. Constable J. Norry, of town and County Officers Rutherford and Jennings investigated. Some fin­ ger-prints were taken. PROPOSE COVERED STAND Huron-Perth Standing Lncan ... Clinton .. Hensail .. Goderich Blyth ... Crediton Exeter ...

The present stand has been doing duty 'for many years and is inadequate for present needs. The plan outlin­ ed by Mr. F. J. Delbridge is to build a stand with a seating capacity of about one thousand on the opposite side to where the stand is now locat­ ed and near the east end of the track. In order to leave space be­ tween the stand and the track it would be necessary tof'use several feet of the roadway allowance, per­ mission for which would have to be secured from the council. To make the race track a full half mile it wo.uld have to be extended several feet at the west end. A new ball diamond would be built facing op­ posite to what it now is. A cover­ ed stand would be a great improve­ ment over the old stand both in and hot weather. patrons of the manding better big problem is a proposition. . is in the neighborhood of two thous-| in the first of the seventh, Clinton and dollars.
