SAVED AS BY MIRACLE
Superinitendant Johnston Has Close
Call
Heroic effects of three employees
of the Dominion Road Machinery Co.
on Monday saved the life of their
superintendent, R. G. Johnston, when
after he was drawn in between a
drive belt and pulley of a planing
machine, they literally tore the cloth-
es off him ta'prevent his body from
making a revolution and being crush-
ed to death,
Mr. Johnston was helping a work-
man at the time on a rush order.
He was wearing a long linen duster,
the tail of which was, drawn in by
the vacuum of the revolving belt. In.
their effect to prevent Mr. Johnston
from being crushed, the workmen
tore away parts of his clothing and
when it gave way secured fresh holds.
The linen duster was wrapped so
tightly around• one of Mr. 'Johnston's
arms as to stop circulation. Finally,
the belt came off the pulley, but
Mr. Johnston was lodged so tightly
between the pulley and the frame
of the machine that his removal was
effected with diffieuity.
That he is living today is nothing
short of a miracle, he himself says.
Severe gashes on his arms and legs
required stitches. He is bruised and
sore all over his body and is nursing
a very stiff neck, It will be some
weeks before he is able to resume his

PROPOSES MRS. JACOBS AS
MATRON
A. suggestion that Mrs. John
Jacobs, matron of the County Home
and widowof the late John Jacobs,
superintendent, would herself make a
capable successor to her husband
was tirade by S. L. Charlton, Provin-
cial Inspector of Houses of Refuge,
who addressed Council. In the Pro-
vince of Ontario therewere, he said,
women managing County Homes in
Welland, Haldimand and Lambton,
all doing a good job, in all three
cases their husbands had died. •Mrs.
Jacobs, he said, was the most cap-
able and knows farm work.
Mr. :Charlton also recommended
that a better grade of cattle be
put on the County farm. The pre-
sent herd would n.ot stand the var-
ious tests, he said. People expected
the County Home to set a high stand-
ard in livestock and it cost no more
to feed a good cow than a poor one.
The installation of a thermostatic
fire alarm system in the County

speetor, as was the appointment of

against setness. I have been severe
in my judgments of men and women
who tend to become complacent. I
have again and again commended
what has been. called "divine disco:
tent" that quality of restlessness
which keeps one dreaming of and at-
tempting new things.
Perhaps it is not at all necessary
to urge young people to be restless,
for youth and restlessness are inev-
itable companions: youth wants new
experience, and adventures. The
young man or young woman who Is
staid, :unemotional, content with
things as they are, without the spirit
of daring, lacking the will to go to
strange places and to make many
experiments, is not a normal person.
The blood in young people is hotter
than the blood in older persons—as
it should be, and this hot blood is apt
to lead those having it to make many
temporary errors of judgment and
conduct They say that you cannot
put old beads on young shoulders. I
do not think that we older onea
should be too harsh when our child-
ren, or the children of our kin and
friends,' do foolish things when they
are young. The way of life is the
way of trial and error, and the
merciful thing about it is: enough of
life is granted to us to redeem our
own mistakes—to correct their con-
sequences.
Alas, in the case of many persons,
they have small choice in regard to
the manner of their way of life.
