ONTARIO, Clinton New Era The New Era Est. 1865' THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1934 FATAL MOTOR ACCI- DENT Clinton Young Man Dies of injuries Another Injured Severely accidents One of the worst motor which. has occurred in this vicinity for years was that which resulted in the death yesterday morning of Har- vey T. Robinson, elder son of Mr. and Mrs. William Robinson of . Mary and the serious injury of et street, A. .Charles Brown, son o S. f Mrs. Inkley, all of Clinton. Messrs. Robinson and Brown ac- companied by P. Bridle and P. Caster, from Goderich, had been at London Fair and were returning after mid- night, Robinson driving, when near Falconer's r ter own the London on road two three miles, they met a truck and turned out to pass it. But the driver failed to see that another truck was backed up behind it and turned into the road and crashed into the other truck. It inay be that he was in • in ex danger ofov•turn g as the trucks were on his side of the road and he had turned onto. the shoulder of the road. The Robinson car was smashed so badly that it seems a miracle that anyone came out of it alive, and young Robinson was so severely in- jured internally that he died about noon yesterday. Blood transfusions were given bim in the hope of saving his life,.but it was of no avail. Brown has a broken hip, some•brok- en ribs and several cuts and bruises on his head and legs, having twenty- seven stitches in his head. But it is hoped he will recover as he appears to have no serious internal injury. Bill Inkley; young Brown's step- brother, was on the truck, having gone down at the call of the Epps' Transportation people, who were hav- ing trouble, and the load was being transferred from one truck to anoth- er. He was thrown from the truck to the pavement by the impact of the collision. He did not know that Brown was in the car, as he must have been thrown clear, but helped to take Robinson from the car and shad hien brought into the hospital. Dr: Oakes went out to the scene of the wreck and brought Brown in. The oth- er two lads were cut up a bit but not seriously injured. Dr. Shaw, coroner, being absent from town, Dr. Burrows of Seaforth was called when the death took place and he ordered an inquest held. The following jury was empanneled, T. W' Hawkins, foreman; W, E. Perdue, W'. Seeley, T. W. Herman, H. Murch, G. A. MacLennan, J. W. Manning and T. J. Riley. They viewed the body and adjourned to meet Wednesday of ternoon next, Sept. 19th, at two o'- clock. The funeral of Mr. Robinson takes place from the home of his parents, Mary Street, on Friday afternoon, the service to commence at two. o'clock. He was in his twenty- eighth year and a young man who had the esteem of all who knew him. He had been in partnership with his BRIDE-TO-BE HONOURED In honour of Miss Pearl Churchill, popular bride -elect, a surprise party was given at her home by the bridge club to which she belonged and a few girl friends, when they presented the le. ' er casserole. stly - with a bride-to-be The evening was spent in bridge, and at the close dainty refreshments were served. ' A FINE TOMATO A POT -LUCK SUPPER The Eveready , Mission' Circle of Wesley-W,,llis church held a potluck supper in the dining hall of the church on Friday evening at six o'- clock, when a. round dozen sat down to a very complete) well-balanced and rounded meal, ; although very few .knew what the others were bringing. At the conclusion of the supper a short business meeting was held and for the need its commenced arrangements season's activities.' CLINTON BOY'S SUCCESS Clinton friends will be pleased to know that R. R. Andrews, an old Clinton boy and brother of Mrs. B. J. Gibbings;, was elected president of the Central Hardware and Factory Supply Co., at Akron, Ohio, recently.. The` Company constitutes the main store and two subsideries. Mr. Andrews began his life's work at Harland. Bros., Clinton, and has followed his early asperations in the Hardware business until he has been elected president of one of the 'larg- est Hardware Companies in theUnited States. We congratulate this old Clintonian and wish him continued success. Mr. Andrews visits, his Clinton relatives from time to time, when he is glad to meet old friends, who are always glad to welcome him. AN INTERESTING ADDRESS The Gills' Club of Wesley -Willis church met at the home of Mrs. J. G. Chowen on Tuesday evening, Mrs. P. Hearn in the chair. There were a large number of the members and several visitors present. At the conclusion of a few items of routine business Mrs. Hearn intro duced Miss Marjorie Quigley, who is an examiner of questioned docu- ments, a handwriting expert, of Los Angeles, Cal., who gave a very inter- esting talk on her work. Miss Quigley has been engaged in this work for eight or ten years and for. the past two has been conducting her own office, and has had a great deal of experience in a great many different cases. Her work is to determine when a questioned document is genuine. 1 Whether it was all executed at the hethe led grata She THE HOME PAPER CARRIED OFF MANY PRIZES Mr. Ephviam Snell had eighteen of his fine Liecester sheep at the Cana- dian National. He carried off a re- serve sweepstakes on ram, and ewe, also five firsts, six seconds, one third and one fourth prize. This was a fine showing, considering the com- petition. He also took prizes on his wool. Mr. Snell sold several of his prizewinning animals and had to the ' it at 'exhibit come home for more to Western at London. At London Mr. Snell took first and second for ram, 2 years and over; first for yearling ram; first and third for ram lamb and champion for ram. He also took first and fourth for 2 - year -old for and fourth first a year-old ewe; yearling ewe; fifth and sixth for ewe lamb; second. for pen of 3 eyes, se- cond for one A. &' W. ewe. Ha also took first for open flock and first for wether' .lamb. Mr. A. M. Knight, superintendent of the Rural Hydro, brought into this office the other day a tomato grown in his garden which weighed almost two and a quarter pounds and meas- ured inches in circumfer- ence.seventeen e'nce. It is of the Ox -heart variety, which are very meaty and of excel- lent'flavour, especially good for table use. It is the largest one we've seen this year, although we have seen some almost as large, of the same variety. • NEW J.

However, it is usually a safe one and for the present suits the circumstances fine. Wonder what his feelings are when he sees any motor driver act in an unlawful manner. Does he feel with his good foot for the gas plug so that he can give chase? We are glad to see Officer Lever able to be about, even in a chair, and trust his complete recovery will not be long delayed. LITTLE LOCALS Many people from Clinton and vi- cinityin the Wes- tern have beentaking Y tern Fair at London this week. Miss Beatrice' Greene is getting nicely settled in her new music studio, Mrs.. Mcllveen's residence, Albert street, north. s , Mrs. Harry Gould was one of the winners in The Beacon -Herald's sub- scription contests, winning a trip to the Thousand Islands. The Y.P.S. of Wesley -Willis church held a weiner roast and social even- ing on Monday evening as the first gathering after the summer recess. Mr. W. S. R. Holmes has some very fine specimens of dahlias, one very fine one is named "Satan," which we think a shame. We'd cull it "Duchess." Mrs. L. Rath, Huron Street, has some fine raspberries ripening in her garden. Raspberries in September and October are not too common and should go very nicely with cream and sugar for tea. Mrs, E. Ward had the misfortune while assisting at the Nurse's Grad- uation in tVesley-Willis church last Friday evening, to slip on some steps and in trying to save herself and a tray she carried, sustained a fractur- ed arm.

The delay was caused by several of the teams not having played all their games, and as will be seen by the schedule, Clinton was the only team to com- plete the schedule of twenty games. Zurich was next with nineteen, Mit- chell had eighteen and Staffa seven- teen. Secretary T. Morgan allowed them as much time as he possibly could but the weather interferred. However it is very unlikely that the remaining games wou.d nave changed the group standing, which is as fol- lows: W L T Clinton :. 12 6 2 Zurich •••,• • 12 6 1 Mitchell 10 6 2 Staffa .. 6 5 6 Goderich and Exeter were the two remaining teams and their standing could not be ascertained. The arrangements made are for the first and third teams and the second and fourth teams to meet, the winning teams in each case playing off for the group championship. Clinton plays in Mitchell on Thurs- day, .Sept. 13th, and the return game will be played on Monday,' Sept. 17th. If a third game is necessary it will take place on Sept. 19th, the place to be decided later. Zurich plays at Staffa on Friday, Sept. 14th. Staffa plays the return genie on' Monday, Sept. 17th.

They have played fine ball and are sure to give their best in the play-offs. They have not had the support that 'a good team. merits and the management is hoping that all will get behind them in the final an games.
