( -Miss Mary MacIntyre,.. Reg. N;, of Langside; was a passenger on the , Toronto bound train that figured in ; a head-on collision -. at — Guelph -^ on Monday. By the impact she was toss­ ed from her seat but escraped injur- . ’ies. • . *’ : Miss MacIntyre is engaged in her profession in the new wing of the Western Hospital at Toronto and was returning to the city after spending the weekj-end with her parents, Mr, and Mrs. Dan MacIntyre, The train in which Miss MacIn­ tyre was riding and which runs< out from Palmerston, _jy_—.ILg at Guelph, station. Baying backed into the depot as is the usual custom. The Stratford to Toronto .train which us­ ually stops a short distance from the depot, failed to do so, and plowed head-on into the standing train. In­ juries were numerous to passengers of both trains, but for the most part of . a very minor nature, and all were able to continue the journey. .J.. Quick .thinking- on • thd: part- of : Engineer Best, of the standing train, who threw his engine into reverse when he sensed the situation, is Said to have prevented a much more serious collision. The fact that Best’s train had started to back up just be­ fore the crash came eased the impact considerably. Steel rails were crumpled as the two engines crashed together ind! jammed on their. tenders with such terriffic Yorce both were lifted com­ pletely off the tracks. Engineers and firemen escaped unin jured despite the fact both cabs were shattered. FOUND OLD SENTINEL • While working at the residence of the late Margaret Murray, recently purchased by Mrs. E. N. Hodgins, Mr. R. J. Cameron came' across a Sentinel of 20 years ago, dated April 27, 1916, and bearing the ad­ dress label of Angus McClennan, who moved into Lucknow from the Am­ berley * district. The paper at that time ran a col­ umn of notes headed “The Boys in Khaki”. Dan MacDonald, who with Huntley Gordon, were the first to enlist from this'part, is reported as having received a leg wound at St. Eloi. A particularly sad occurrence, the death of Mary Little, was repor­ ted in this issue. Public school reports interested the writer, for his name appeared in the first room report, in which Jean Stewart Was first,, a position which she commanded pretty much thru out public school. The writer re­ members heading the report in sec­ ond room' once, when Jean was sick for a week. In senior second, girls predominated the head of the list, with Mary Smith. Isabel .Johnston and Jean Durnin at the top, and Eldon Reid- the only boy’s name to appear in honors. ’ In Junior 4th, this was not the case, however, for Calvin Smith was head, followed . by Louise Garbutt,. Dan Campbell and the Agnew twins.

MacKenzie Win Sec­ ond Event The Bread of Health QUALITY Pioneer Congregation Had Anniversary Sunday Ashfield Presbyterian Church Held SUcce^fulServicesOnSunij^^ . Is The Oldest Presbyterian Con­ gregation In The District-rOfficial- fly Recognized As A Mission Sta- tion 88 - Years Ago. "Anniversary services at Ashfield Presbyterian Church on Sunday were attended by large congregations who heard Stirring messages from Rev. A. H. Wilson of Paisley and the guest speaker , for the occasion. Special anthems were rendered by. the choir Under the leadership of Donald MacLean. At the morning service. Duncan MacKay sang a solo and a ladies’ quartette from Paisley assisted at the evening service. It was a noteworthy anniversary , for this Ashfield church, stated .to be : the oldest Presbyterian congregation in the area from Goderich to Kin- > cardine and eastward as far as i Wingham. 1 It is recorded that in 1838, al­ most a century ago.: that Kenneth MacGregor and Donald MacRae came first to the mouth of Kerry Creek, which empties into Lake Hur­ on at Kintail. The following year they took up land on the lake shore for they were .fisherment and loved to be near the water. \ This started an influx of settlers from the Highlands of Scotland and the “Maes’* as you might imagine were among the, predominating sur- 1 names/ The ocean . crossings were made in sailing vessels, the voyage frequently taking from. ten to twelve weeks, to, Quebec. Another boat trip brought them to Toronto or Hamil­ ton, and then commenced a tedious overland trip to Goderich, from .where, by rowboat, along Lake Hur­ on’s'shore they came to Kintail. The rowboat was owned and manned by the first two settlers. Upon arrival there were three resting points, the . shanties of Duncan MacLennan, Fin- “ lay MacLennan or Donald/ Mae- Leah, where the travelk/Wpaused before setting out into tfjJLnnbrdken bush to establish a hoffier? b. Thus it was, that among this group of hardy settlers. - many took up homes on'the twelfth concession of Ashfield in a settlement that be­ came known as the Isle of Skye; No sooner were homes established than their minds turned to a place of worship. Every log house was free to be used for Divine worship, and the first public meetings held by these people were for that purpose. J Their isolated position prevented Presbyterian missionaries from rea­ ching them for ,a few years, but leaders from amohg them conducted regular 'Religious services. In 1853 Kenneth Campbell arrived and be- came a spiritual leader of the colony. Student missionaries and non-resi­ dent ministers yisited the settlement at indefinite times, but especially on communion occasions. 1848 is recognized as the date of the formhl organization of Ashfield congregation for then it was first' recognised as a mission station by the Presbytery of London; In. 1850 John Douglas and Donald MacLean were elected and ordained as elders to become associated with Elder Malcolm MacRae and for fif­ teen years, until a resident minister was appointed; rendered a splendid spiritual -service. -. It was in 1857 that plans,were laid for the building of the first church, a frame structure, 50 by 36 feet. It jwos not until a "year later that the. 'frame was raised, and the work com­ pleted early in, I860, although data in this .regard was not recorded. *, Rev. Alexander Grant, beefame the first minister in 1865, and seven have succeeded him in the past 70 years. Rev. Grant also preached at Huron church now Ripley, but when, they separated in 1873 he became sole minister at Ashfield; until his retirement in 1886. Rev. Kenneth MacDonald was his successor remaihifig for five years.: In 1892, Bey, John Rose- accepted a ; call, and continued a(s pastor for four years. Then followed Rev. Alex­ ander Millar whose r pastorate ^coh- ; tinned for thirteen years. He was followed by that well remembered gentleihan Rev. J. S. Hardie, who . was inducted h* March, 1910, and i remained at Ashfield until 1926. He has since been succeeded by ; Rev. G. S. Ritchie, Rev. P. M. CoL qnhoun and the present minister, Rev. J. K. MacGillivray. Much could be written about this 'historic, pioneer congregation which has played such an important part in the. religious welfare and devel­ opment of this Ashfield community. 1 With thirty entries in the Scotch Doubles . tournament, ten. more than Were expected, Lucknow Bowling Club’s first event of the season on Tuesday was a real success. A big gain in membership this season, indicates increased interest and the success of; the tournament gets the Club off to a good start for. the sea­ son.

Robert Johnston of ’Goderich won the trophy event, with Isaac and Wallace Miller of St. Helens runn­ ers up.. The prizes were silver water jugs and wait mirrors. Wellington McCoy and young John K. MacKenzie took first in the second event, winning silver cream and sugars. Murray Rae’s rink of Wing-, ham was second -winning- ferneries. Alex Crawford’s and Donald Rae’s rinks of Wingham were matched in the 3rd event, and the playoff will take place at their convenience on their home green.

Nicholson Recommends. System Whereby Machinery Of Production Would”Be Used In The’ Interests Of All, Rather Than A Small Group “The Present Crisis—Is there, a way Out?” .was the timely topic that drew a fair crowd tp-Ahe Or­ ange Hall on Saturday^fignfS^hen • Rev, A) M, Nicholson xvas the sp5lr*x ker. The-meeting wad sponsored by the Lucknow U. F. 0? Joint Club. A large chart arranged like a Spider web was used to describe the cause of the present crisis. .Near the centre of the web in eaich section are to be found a comparatively small group of men, who by means of interlocking directorates, control the machinery of production. It was claimed by the speaker, that? altho the farmer owns bis land, while he is compelled to buy his implements in a highly protected market and sell his produce , without getting the cost® of production, he too, is dom­ inated by the powerful financial inr stitutions. The small storekeeper feels the power of* big business as he seeks to compete with the: chain, and de* Tpprtmeiit stores. The way out, according to Mr. Nicholson is to be found by estab­ lishing a Co-operative Common­ wealth. . Under such a system, the machinery of production would be used in the interests of all the pen- , pie) rather than for-the benefit of a I small group. | 1 l Suffers Weak Spell Mr, Wm.
