tractor-trailer truck and u C.N.R. en-
gine north of Milverton on June 24,
Was withdrawn. The trailer of the
truck, loaded with heavy sand-screen-
ing machinery, was struck by the en-
gine causing considerable damage. In
arguing the case of the accused, John
Anderson, Q. C., told the court a tall
stand of hay in a field to the right of
Highway No, 19 partially obscured the
view of the tracks. "I have always felt
that at railway crossings there should
be some indication of the angle at
which the tracks cross the highway,"
he added,—Milverton Sun,

Aronnd the shops a lot of interest
is being shown in the various new
types of fly-killers, now that the fly
season is in full swing, Some of the
new de-flyers are wierd and wonder,
ful, ranging from the type that sits on
the back fence and attacts all the flies
for a quarter of a mile (it says here)
to the simple 60-watt bulb with poison
pellet. . , Prices run the gamit, too,
with some of the new gadgetp costing
up to nearly $20, , „ Reports vary on
the efficacy of the different types.

Plans of the Canadian Legion for a
monster carnival in September had to
be shelved when it was found that
nobody could supply carnival rides,
ferris wheels, and merry-go-rounds for
the week;end of Labor Day, . „ . And
what's a carnival without rides? .
The Legion is planning an amateur
contest instead.

W. R. HAMILTON, OPfOMETR!ST
"A Complete Visual Analysis"
He's changing the nation's landscape
You may see the result of what he is doing in the city'slillanging
skyline —or out where the corn grows tall . in the mushrooming
suburbs — or in the new look of Main Street in a mellow old town.
Where many a vacant lot once stood, he helps fill it with a fine
new school, Where you used to see a building that was an eyesore
you may now see a new apartment house, store or post office that
he played a role in providing.
Thanks in part to him, many houses rise here and there, or row
on row, in community after community. New black ribbons of
asphalt tie town to town. Somewhere, a new bridge is built.
• New industrial plants, too, are sometimes the by-products of
his helping.hand. Perhaps one of them has provided you with a job.
. Who is lie?
He represents all the millions of life insurance policyholders in
Canada. And it's money from their premiums, which life insurance
companies invest for them, that makes possible such improvements
as these throughout the nation.
So, if you are a life insurance policyholder building security for
your family and yourself, you're also helping to build a better
Canada!
Through Town
Not so long ago some one made
mention of the honking of horns on
Josephine Street on Sunday nights,
and we have always wondered why
the practice should be any more not-
iceable on Sunday night than any other
night. , . . After a drive down Joseps-
hie on Sunday night, we have a
theory, Some of the Sunday motorists
drive so darned slowly, the through
traffic has to honk to get past.
* *
A couple of theories have been ad-
vanced as to why the hands on the
post office clock should be out of
synchronization.- . . Some people
claim the innards are out of whack,
Another theory is that the hands have
been bent. , Art Furness, who winds
the clock religiously twice a week,
says the hands have a certain amount
of play in them, and that this play is
not equal on all four sides, . . . Most
novel theory is that the whole thing
is an optical illusion, and that actually
the hands register the same time ex-
actly all around. . . . As far as we
could see there seemed to be about a
minute's difference between the north
and south side, but perhaps we were
seeing things. . . Details of the op-
tical illusion theory are vague, but
having something to do with the fact
that the sides of the post office build-
ing do not run exactly north and
south.

Traffic through Hugh Carmichael's
store has been exceptionally heavy the
last couple of weeks, since he took
over the accounts-receiving for .the
Bell Telephone Company • . .Mike used
to work for the Bell in the old days.. .
and is back at the old 'stand under
somewhat different circumstances. . .
Accounts for the company which used
to be kept in town, are now looked
after in the Stratford office, and only
the bill collecting is done locally.. .
Any complaints, and Mike hopes there
won't be many, can be made to him,
and will be relayed to the Stratford
office,

Almost any day you're walking
along Diagonal Road, you'll see Walter
Brown working away at his new
bowling alley. Walter has the roof on,
and the cement floor laid, and last
week was working on the plastering
down stairs. This week he's expecting
the alleys to arrive, and is getting
ready for them, Workmen will arrive
with the alleys to assemble them, a
job taking about three weeks. Walter
is hoping everything will be ready for
the opening September 1st.

Jack Walker and Fred Templeman
had a narrow escape last week. . . Re-
turning from Toronto late at night
they were passing over a bad stretch
of road near Brampton, when the
car suddenly started to shimmy. . .
They managed to get it stopped with-
out leaving the road, and upon exam-
ining the vehicle, found that a tie-rod
was broken. With a great deal of dif-
ficulty they managed to get the car in-
to Brampton, and after rooting a gar-
ageman out of bed, were able to get the
damage repaired. Jack thinks the tie-
rod may have been broken or at least
dmaged for some time before the
shimmy developed, and shudders to
think what might have happened if it
had happened when the car was trav-
elling at a normal rate of speed.

The recent series of heat waves has
set off a lot of talk about the cooler
places in town. The P. U. C. office in
the Stone Block stands high on the
list of bettdr places to work these
days, having a very nice air-condition-
ing system which ordinary mortals can
enjoy only when paying their hydro
bills. Lee's Restaurant also boasts air-
conditioning, and attracts a lot of cus-
tomers. One of the coolest jobs in
town is probably that of the egg-grad-
er at the Holmdale Creamery, who
works in a room specially air-condit-
ioned for the eggs. For that matter
the cellar of The Advance-Times
building is a pretty cool spot, too. .
Some of the staff have been thinking
of moving down there.
There is a good possibility that
scouts and cubs may be organized in
Wingham this fall. Jack Alexander,
son of the proprietor of Donald Rae &
Son hardware, is interested in start-
ing a cub pack, and had rounded up
some help for the job. Rev. D. J. Mac-„
Rae is also interested in the move-
ment, and is expected to lend a hand
