Wm. Balkwill Jr., of town, was motoring to Grand Bend on the side­ road west from Huron street when the car he was driving collided with a car driven by William Dietrich, a cousin of the injured man, w*ho was travelling north on his way to Dash­ wood. The intersection is some­ what in a hollow and trees and tall grass obstruct the view, and made it almost impossible for one to see the other approaching. As the cars came together both were carried into the ditch and the left side of the Balkwill car and the right side of the Dietrich car were crumpled up both cars being beyond repair. Alex Dietrich was the most seriously hurt and was taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital, London, by Dr. Taylor, of Dashwood, in H. Hoff­ man’s ambulance. It was at first thought that he had suffered a spine injury but an examination revealed a ruptured kidney, a broken shoul­ der and a fractured left hand. He has had several blood transfusions. An operation was performed on Mon­ day and latest reports state that he is somewhat improved. Wm. Dietrich had a couple of ribs fractured and was somewhat bruised and shaken up. He is able to be around. Wm. Balkwill is at present con­ fined to his home with a broken left collar-bone. Mr. Balkwill was carry­ ing with him in the car a case ot white paint and the paint tered ovei- everything, brought to the office of cher, his clothes covered and head looked as if he dipped in a flour barrel.

Their “Brp^ei^Rev. M. A, Hunt, rector 6.£zthe^church, officiated. It being the eve of Can­ ada’s Dominion holiday, the first part of the service was of a national character. Mr. A. Middlemiss, choir leader, sang “Abide with Us” as a solo and during the offertory, Miss Blanche -Senior and Mr. Middlemiss rendered “Star of ’the East” as a duet. The message of the evening was the result of much thought and careful preparation and was most impressively and capably delivered by the rector, Mr. Hunt and was much appreciated by the large con­ gregation. From his vantage point as a member he beautifully portray­ ed the social and moral principals of the Order and through knowledge and personal experience stated that no one could belong to such a fra­ ternal organization without being the better for it, and in conclusion, admonished his sisters and brothers to live up to their principles and follow their “Emblem” for it would lead them to the “Author” of their “Order” who would make of them shining stars endowed with won­ drous personalities. After the service a most hearty vote of thanks was moved by Mrs. Roxie Beavers, Worthy Matron and seconded by Mrs. Ida M. Sanders, Immediate Past Matron, to Rev. Mr. Hunt for his interest and co-opera­ tion, to the choir of Trivitt Mem­ orial church and to the church of­ ficials. ‘•"x a WAR TIME COMMITTEE DIED death took place in Brant-The ford General Hospital on June 18 th of Mervyn Bissett, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Bissett, aged 28 year’s.
