In addition to the drowning accid- ent at Grand Bend on Sunday"there were several near drowning accid- ents that occurred during the week. The Times last week reported the rescue of a young lady from drown- ing by Mr. Ed. Taylor of town. Fish- ermen at the Bend who saw the res- cue stated that the Work of Taylor was both heroic and skillful. A re- turned soldier who attempted to swim the distance to the fishing nets and back became exhausted when a- bout 100 hundred yards out from shore. He wa,s rescuced after going down a couple of times. These ac- cidents emphasize tate fact .Qiat there is no life saving apparatus of any nature that is available at Grand Bend. At the dock there is not even a life belt that might be thrown to anyone struggling in the water. The dragging for the victim of Sundays accident was at first done by fish nets and later a rope was fitted up with fish hooks. Such a. matter might well receive the consideration of the Township Council or the Coun- ty Council and steps be taken to pro- vide some life saving apparatus for this popular resort.

HELPLESS DISTIEME.VICl.tel Dark are the skies to the faithless, Bitter their hours of grief; Heavy the blow that is struck by woe To the people of no belief, Having no God to turn to, Having no. God to trust, They are tossed about by the winds of doubt, As helpless as grains of dust. They may laugh and sing in their summer, And scoff when their skies are fair But they wither and fade when their games are plaid, . And they come to the touch of care For nothing that man has wispered And nothing that man has said. Can soften the grief of a disbelief, In the hours when it's love lies dead. Life is but death to the faithless; For never a joy can last; They have none to share in their black despair Nor a hope when the Storm has passed. They are broken reeds in their sor- row, Weak prey to the winds of woe, For they've no belief that can com- fort grief, No strength for the bitter blow. Faith is the light in the darkness, Faith is the promise fair, And none so stout he can do without The strength of an earnest prayer For whenever man comes to sorrow And whenever he bows to grief Let come what will, he can bear it still Sustained by a firm belief. -Edgar A.
