ACCIDENT ON NO. 4
As a result of a motor car accident
on Ring's Highway No. 4 one mile
north of Clinton, on Sunday, several
persons sustained cuts and bruises
and two cars were badly wrecked and
had to be towed into garages by the
wreaker truck.
R. Johnson and C. Nivens of Gode-
rich, accompanied' by two Clinton
,girls were didving south on the
highway, when Mr. Nivens, who was
driving attempted to pass a car and
in so doing lost control, The ear
careened from one side to the other
.'%f the road and ran had -on into a
car proceeding' north, driven by H.
McGilvray of Paisley and in which
Mrs. McGiivray and Mrs. McGregor
of Stanley were passengers. The
impact turned thecar upside down
on the roadside, the ladies sustaining
severe cuts and bruises, but escaping
serious injury.
The Johnson car, which was being
driven by Nivens, rolled over a cou-
ple or three times, it said, before
coming to a stop. Miraculously the
occupantsof the ear escaped injury.
Traffic Officers N. Lever, Huron
County, and F. Haight, provincial,
were notified and made an investiga-
tion. Construction work is beingdone
on the highway and Nivens claimed
that he could not see anything ahead
of him on , account of dust. Both
ears figuring ;in the accident were
badly wrecked.
DOG MET PORCUPINE
On Saturday last Mir. Seeley's dog
came home with several porcupine
quills in his coat, proof positive that
he had come in dose proximinity to
one of those prickly little animals.
'ewes not thought that such an ani-
mals existed in this part of the coun-
try, although they are fairly common
in the northern part of the Province.
But evidently this dog came in eon-.
tact with one, but he is unable to
give accurate information as to the
exact location of their haunts.
What with deer feeding with the
cattle in the pastures and porcupines
fighting with our dogs we seem to be
returning to the conditions of 1Sioneer
days.
55TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY'
A pleasant time was spent at the
home of Mr. and, Mrs. John Vodden,
Monday afternoon, June 18th, when a
number of their family and friends
were gathered together to celebrate
the fifty-fifth anniversary of their
marriage. .
°i Mrs. Vodden, who was Elizabeth
Waite before her marriage, went as
a bride with her husband to Mr. Vod-
d'en's farm on the 8th concession, lot
32, Hullett, and resided on the farm
until five years ago, when they mov-
ed to Clinton, leaving their farm to
their son, Albert. Six ,children are
living; four being present for this
anniversary: Mrs. .Scott of Londes-
bora, Wim. J. of Goderich township,
and Ernest of Madden, Alta., Robert,
of San Francisco, Calif., and .Mrs..
Nimmo of Toronto were unable to be
present.
Mir. and Mrs. Vodden celebrated their
golden anniversary on the farm when
their family and many friends were
present to offer congratulations and
good wishes.
The News -Record offers hearty 1
congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Vod- i
den and hopes they may celebrate a
their diamond wedding anniversary, s
TAKE HEED TO WARNING
On the farmer's page of this issue
appears an advertisement from the
Fruit Branch of the Dept of Agricul-
ture regarding measures for the eon-
trol of the apple maggot. •Orchard-
ists and anyone with even an apple
tree or a haw tree growing on their
property should consult it, as it con-
cerns them. Measures for control
are stringent, as the presence of this
pest in Ontario orchards seriously
hinders the export of apples to the
British Isles.

LIBERALS CARRY RID-
ING OF. HURON
Majority Over 2,200
The election campaign in Huron
was a keen one, between ex -Warden
James A. Ballantyne of Usborne, Lib-
anal candidate, and Warden George
H. Elliott,. Conservative. The third
candidate, 'W, W. Cooper, campaign-
ed fairly strongly but only polled
129 votes on election day, so that
his candidature didn't make much
difference either way, -
Huron riding is now eomposed of
the former riding of South Huron,
plus the town of Goderich. In the
last election ' in South , Huron a
straight fight occurred between G.
H. Elliott, Conservative and W. G.
Medd, Progressive, the latter winning,
by the small majority of 26.
Of the towns, Mr. Elliott, carried
Clinton, his home town, which. gave
him the nice little majority •of 283.
and Exeter. Mr. Ballantyne carrier
Goderich, which usually votes 'Con-
servative, by a good majority. Sen
forth and Hensall also went Liberal.
Stanley and Goderieh townships
gave Conservative majorities, the
other townships going Liberal.
In 1929 Seaforth and McKillop al-
so gave majorities for Elliott. In
the 1929 election, the total vote pal
led in South Huron was 9538, on
Tuesday Huron voted 14,387 strong.
Goderich has been added since that,
but deducting the 2294 votes cast in
that town, 2,555 more votes were cast
in this riding than in 1929, and
most of those seem to have been
Liberal votes.
As was.to'be expected the Liberal
victory was received with a good
deal of acclaim in the several centres
of the riding. The successful can-
didate came up to Clinton later in
the evening, when he was warmly
welcomed by his friends, some of
whom accompanied him to Goderich,
where a demonstration was held,
Mr. Elliott offered congratulation-
to his successful opponent and ex-
pressed himself as satisfied with the
result of the campaign and grateful
to those who had worked hard for
his election.
