John McGraw, driver for Curry's Taxi, found himself Mettle latter category this week. A grateful lady motorist presenfid him with a beautiful set of cufflinks and tie pal for NOT hitting her with his car. It was accompanied by a letter expressing the lady's ap- preciation for .avoiding what look- ed like a sure crash. The lady driver was proceeding along Highway 21 at night about six miles north of. Bayfield. Sud- denly the lights of her car went out and she was obliged to slow down,considerably in order to see her way in the. dark. Behind her came Jan McGraw driving a taxi. Because of the lights of cars ap- proaching in the opposite direction, John did not notice the ,blacked -out vehicle travelling in front of him until he was right on its tail.

",We're not talking about a couple of hundred thousand dol- lars," emphasized Councillor Tip- ple. "We're talking about saving $000,000." County Built Reserve Councillor Robertson said that Me County Council had accumulat- ed a large percentage of the neces- sary funds before it started turn- ing the first sod for the new court house. One question put forth at the meeting concerned what would happen if local industrial plants ran short of water while the town is waiting to build up a reserve fund.

Commented Deputy -Reeve Don- nelly: "There are other considera- tions in addition to the breakdown aspect, which doesn't seem to be any worse than it was a few years ago." He noted that "a staggering sum" of money is involved. Chances Of Breakdown "Is this breakdown question as disastrous as we've been led to think?" asked the deputy -reeve. He then aslced several questions .n an effort to pinpoint more exact- ly the probabilities of a breakdown occurring in the present machinery and mains. 1.1.11• Weaver likened the set=up to an old -•ear.
