carefully. While he was in an office
the driverless truck backed out of the
driveway. It had been parked facing
south and all by itself turned around
and went north. while George Arm-
strong, nearby resident, watched in
amazement, the heavy vehicle swung
to the right of the bridge and plunged
down toward the river. When it reach-
ed the short drop at the hater's edge,
the trailer stopped and the cab hung
suspended over the embankment.

met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wil-
fred Meitague, on November 15th,
with an attendance of thirty, Mrs.
Ross King was the discussion leader.
The topic for the evening was
"Your Father's Farm" and the dis-
cussion which** followed our forum
agreed that a girl helping on her fath-
er's farm should have an interest, of
her own and thus derive the revenne
from it and site should also share in
the estate.
Agreements to protect "parents and
son's interests" could be by written
agreements.The son taking •over the
farm at home should not be expected
to pay others a ,share because they
are out on a career of their own.
The Forum had as guest speaker,
Mr. Hugh Armstrong, a director of
the Bruce County Co-Operative .Med-
ical Service who gave an interesting
talk on the benefits of hospitaliza-
tion.
A protest asking for a change in
time in the power cut-off from 7 to 8

dro Office.

dered in the past two years, and who

en words.
