NOTICE TO WEST
At the meeting of the Exeter
Council on Monday, it was decided
to instalLan electric. bell ringer foi•.
theringingof the town bell. At the
present; time it costs the town $75.00
a year to have thc bell rungng and
Supt. H. W. Doerr, of the Public.
Utilities eemmission, estimates that
an electric ringer can be installed for
around $125.00.,After the •installa-
tion, the cost of operation' for hydro,
will be about. 16 cents a year. This
should mean a big saving to. the rate-
payers as the electric ringer: will pay
for itself in two years time, Mr.
Doerr has recently repaired the
clock and_ 'it is now running'in per-
fect condition and he is quite em-
phatic that it can be kept that way
if the face of the clock is protected
from the elements. In past seasons
the hands ' of the clock bave been,
affected by snow and sleet storms
and the gears have been ripped. The
Council ; have given the Utilities
Commission power to enclose the.
face- with ' glass to overcome this
difficulty. General satisfaction has
been expressed around town at hear-
ing the clock strike again. and it is
hoped now, to put it in shape to run
for many years to come.

LITTLE GIRL MEETS
Win( ACCIDENT
On Wednesday of last week, Irene
the Young daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Milton ITussell, ' of Hay, suffered a
very pal/if-al accident and escaped;
death by a very narrow margin. Her
father was drawing out manure in
a spreader and unaware that his
daughter was 'following. close 'behind
the machine he threw it into gear
and one of the prongs struck the
child in the face. It gashed the fore-
head, grazed the eye and the cheek
bone causing a very painful injury.
She was immediately rushed to Dr.
)3rowning's office for treatment. Sev-
eral stitches were required to close
the wounds but fortunately it is be-
lieved that the sight of the eye will
been a trifle closer to the machine
she undoubtedly would have been
killed.

''Boyle had arisen and was preparing
to light the kitchen fire when he
suddenly expired. Both nien have
not been enjoying good health.. of
late. Mr. Boyle is survived by his
widow and a family of seven child-
ren at home. He was about 59
years of age and was twice married.
