E c€ i of the DISTRICT Clergy Honors Father Quigley Over 50 clergymen from Roman Catholic parishes in Western Ontario gathered at Kingsbridge 15 miles north of Goderich, recently, on the Blue Water highway, to pay honor to Rev. Fr. J. R. Quigley, parish priest at St. Joseph’s, Kingsbridge, on the occasion of his silver jubilee,. At 10.- 80, Father Quigley, who was ordain­ ed at St. Peter’s Cathedral, London, by the late Bishop Fallon, in 1913, was the celebrant at .a solemn thanks­ giving mass. .He was assisted by Fr. William Morrison, of St. Peter’s, Lon­ don, as deacon and Fr. Phelan, of St. Martin’s, London, subdeacon. Other clergymen assisting in the service were Rev. Frs.

Chief Constable Robert Wilson called in Provincial Constable Siebert of Guelph, and Ted Nabb, finger print expert of Guelph, to aid the investigation but it is re­ ported no clues were found. The yeggmen sawed one hinge of the safe halfway through and then worked on the strongbox with a bar but they were unable to get into the interior. They then entered the refrigerator and removed the two blocks of but­ ter. From the plant the fans and flashlight were missing. — Listowel Banner. Carrick Farmer Buried Under Hay Solomon Grubb of the 2nd conces­ sion of Carrick, met with an unfor­ tunate experience while hauling in hay last week. He used slings when building the load in the field, each set encircling one-third of the load. While the hay was being unloaded, Mr. Grubb was in the mow, levelling it off, and his sister, Miss Susan Grubb, had charge of the trip rope on the barn floor. As one sling load was being transferred from the wagon to the mow, Mr. Grubb hollered instruc­ tions t'o his sister as to where to place it in the mow, and she mistook his order and gave the rope a jerk, re­ leasing nearly half a ton of hay, which buried him in the mow. Miss Grubb lost no time in digging her brother out, but when she got the hay off him she found that he was unconsc­ ious. The neighbors and a doctor were summoned, and he was taken out into the fresh air, but he remain­ ed in that condition for about two hours. The doctor thought his heart was affected by his experience. Mr. Grubb is recovering from the effects of the accident.—Hanover Post.

Petty Thieving by Youngsters Walkerton merchants have recent­ ly been complaining of the frequency of petty thefts perpetrated in their places of business by a number of youngsters who have not yet reached the teen-age, and although they have so far taken no action, relying on the parents to curb the light-fingered hab­ its of the boys, they assert that unless there is a cessation of the activities of these juvenile shop-lifters they will be obliged to inform the law enforce­ ment authorities and have the prac­ tice stopped. — Walkerton Herald- Times.

It was im­ possible to take further x-rays at the time, and it is not known as yet if there are other serious injuries.—God­ erich Signal-Star. 20-Foot Pavement Opened The 20-foot concrete pavement run­ ning six miles east of Hanover to Al­ lan Park, is now open for traffic. One side was finished last year to a point between the Allan Park station and the village, and the other ten-foot stretch was laid this spring, all of it now being open for traffic. An excel­ lent shoulder has been placed on each side of the road, which is now a wide one.—Hanover Post. Shoved in Crowd, Has Broken Hip Injured in a fall while watching proceedings at a sports day program at Dashwood on Wednesday night, Peter Mclsaac, 68-year-old resident of that village, was brought to St. Joseph’s Hospital, London, where it was found his hip was fractured. Mr. Mclsaac is crippled with arthritis and when pushed by the throng watching a street dance, he fell from the steps of a building on Main St. He was re­ moved to his home, but when it was found he was more seriously hurt than at first appeared, he was taken to hospital there. His condition was reported from hospital as fair.—Sea­ forth Expositor, Cow Battles Pack of Eight Wolves Beset by a pack of eight wolves, a cow battled to protect her 2-day-old calf until help arrived. Such is the story from Kinloss Township, Bruce County. James and' Clifford Robb went in search of the young calf on a grass farm owned by Reeve Richard Elliott. Hearing what they took to be barking of dogs and fearing for a flock of sheep, they hurried to where the sounds came from, to find the pack circling in on the helpless calf as the cow stood guard and sought to drive away the attackers. Wolv&s are believed to have their lair in the thick bush on the Elliott farm and neigh­ boring property of James Valad, and to clear them out farmers are organ­ izing a hunt.

Phone 2?i Motorists Escape Death In Maze of Fallen Wires Palmerston was withouk hydro el­ ectric power for some three hours and the cause of the interruption was not learned until information was fur­ nished to the managed of the public utilities to the effect that car had left the road between Listowel and Tra­ lee, 'and had snapped off a. pole, al­ lowing high tension wires to fall, breaking them. Residents in that vic­ inity watched the occupants of the car, who apparently escaped uninjur­ ed from the crash, remove the fallen wires in an effort to clear their ve­ hicle. When they had extricated the machine, they drove away before any­ one had ascertained the number of the car’s license. Hydro linemen marvel at the fact that the people es­ caped . electrocution from the wires, claiming that there was serious risk involved in touching the wires in any way. The only solution offered for their escape was that the initial im­ pact of the car had brought the wires together, throwing out the circuit­ breaking switch. The switch is auto­ matic and would cut back in after a brief interval. It is believed that dur­ ing this interval when the Switch was off, the motorists were able to clear their car and continue on their jour- new unharmed. Claims' Milfeage Gain Under New Invention Chester Smith, of Thiel’s garage, in Mitchell, has been working Cm a car­ buretor invention for the past year and .has now completed it. He has applied for a patent. The invention has been given considerable attention around town. Mr. Smith has hooked up his carburetor to different; cars to try it out and says he has obtained up to 51.8 miles on a gallon of gasoline, This test was made with a mileage tester, he reports, gasoline line being disconnected from the tank, while the riiti was made from a container prev­ iously measured. The carburetor fol­ lows along similar lines to those in present use on cars but Mr. Smith says he has been able to break down the gasoline into a finer vapor, pro­ ducing more power as well as increas­ ed mileage. What effect it will have on the stamina of the motor .has not yet been determined.

[MAKING CANADA j A Better Place in Which to Live and Work I • A Series of Letters from Distinguished Canadians on Vital Problems | Affecting the Future Welfare of Canada I Specially Written for Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association LETTER NO.’14 Dear Editor: The opportunity you have given me of offering some suggestions' which' might be helpful to members of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper Assoc­ iation is very much appreciated. I have discussed your letter with Rev. C. E. Silcox, General Secretary of the Social Service Council of Can­ ada, and with Mr. Frank Chamber- lain, Press Representative of The United Church of Canada. As a re­ sult of this conference I make the un­ der-noted suggestions: It is our feeling that if the Canad­ ian Weekly Newspapers Association would like to do something really worth-while, “to make Canada a bet­ ter place in which to live and work,” it would be advisable to pool their' efforts and to attack the task with some collective plan. The Association might consider the appointment of a Committee of three or four to consult with recognized'au­ thorities in the problems to be dealt with . . . with the purpose in view of establishing a Syndicate Service that would provide every one of the 600 editors simultaneously with authorit­ ative, timely, brightly-written articles. We feel that there are four out­ standing endeavours to which the ed­ itors of weekly newspapers might well devote their attention. (1) Consideration of outstanding social problems: A. Health Insurance. B. Unemployment. C. Maternal and infant mortality. D. Problems of the home. E. Education. F. Economic Organization. G. Vocational Guidance. . H. Recreation, etc, (2) News concerning the.broader activities of all the Churches. (3) Problems of health — mental and physical. (4) International problems. , We believe that it would be pos­ sible for a Committee of the Associ­ ation to forhi a Syndicate Service that would provide each one of the news­ papers with perhaps two articles a week on two of these four subjects (alternating them), Mr. Silcox tells me that he would, be very glad to confer with such a committee from the Association,s and he would be glad to assist in the pre­ paration of at least 26 articles on the first question—Consideration of Out­ standing Social Problems. PETER BRYCE On the question of Health, we feel that it would be possible to ask for four articles each from: (1) The Can­ adian Medical Association; (2) The Canadian National Committee for Mental Hygiene; (3) The Canadian Tuberculosis Association. It is also our belief that the Can­ adian Weekly Newspapers Associa­ tion could do a fine piece of work by promoting better understanding be­ tween the city industrial worker and the rural worker. We feel that the Question of understanding between East and West—between nationalities “--between different races—and people of different creeds—-is one demanding larger consideration. I believe that concerted effort on behalf of the Association, rather than by individual editors, (who have hot the time or the materials on hand) would bring better results. Yours very truly, PETER BRYCE, Moderator, The United Church of Canada. ■
