DAMAGES FOR MOTOR ACCIDENT
At the County Court in Goderich
last week in an action for damages
for $1,200 allegedly caused in a
motor accident last July, judgment
was given for the plaintiff, Thomas
Butt, of Kippen, for $300.00.
The accident occurred on a county
road one mile west of Kippen on
July 4th last year when a car driven
by Thomas Butt collided with a
delivery truck driven by James Ro
binson, Of London. The plaintiff
claimed the defendant failed in giv
ing him half of the road and was
driving at an excessive rate of. speed
and in making a slight turn, the
truck slewed sideways, the rear
striking the car, causing injury to
the plaintiff and damaging the au
tomobile. Butt, the driver of the lat
ter, suffered lacerations of the face
and broken teeth, necessitating their
extraction. Visibility Was clear and
the road in good condition.
The defence claimed the speed
he was travelling was 25 miles an
hour and that Butt was looking at
some cattle in the fields as he ap
proached.
Judge MacKinnon said he could
see no excuse for either. The road
and weather were clear and yet they
collided. “It looks to me as if one
is ^as much to blame as the other.
Either one, if he had been careful
could have avoided the collision. I
can see no excuse for it/’ His Honor
stated in fixing damages.
E. D- Bell, Seaforth, for plaintiff,
Mr. Braden of Braden and McAllis
ter, London, for defendant.

YEARS ago, downtown in our larger
cities, telephone wires almost shut
out the sky. A network of wires on
towering poles crowded with a score
or more of cross-arms, became an in
creasing problem and hazard year by
year.
From the Telephone Laboratories came
the solution — telephone cable. Im
proved by years of research, these
cables now contain as many as 1818
pairs of wires, each tiny wire insulated
from the others and all tightly enclosed
in a sheath of lead. Through these hair
like wires beneath the pavements flows
the tide of downtown telephone traffic.
This development of telephone cable is
one of the great triumphs of telephone
research. Congested business areas in
cities could be served in no other way.
Today in larger centres, upwards of 80
per cent of telephone wire is under
ground.
Science has had its way with the tele
phone —> with all phases of it. Day
by day the service grows more far-
reaching, more human, more helpful.
