Mr, and Mrs. Albert Mero, of Gode-
rich, is still in hospital as the result
of the unfortunate accident which
befell him last July at Riviere du
Loup,. Quebec, Frank, a ,member of
the Elgin Regiment, had been borne
on leave and was on his way back to
the regiment at Debert, N.S. He had
got off the train, the Maritime Ex-
press, at Riviere du Loup, and when
the train started and he attempted to
get aboard he slipped and fell and his
right leg was severed by the wheels
of the moving train. He was taken to
,the hospital at Riviere du Loup,
where amputation was performed
above the knee. A sequel to the un-
fortunate accident was the recent
presentation to J, H. Marquis, an en-
gine hostler employed by the Canad-
ian National Railways at Riviere du
Loup, of an award by the St. John
Ambulance Association for prompt
action, which, doctors said, saved
young Mero's life. Using a towel and
a piece of stick to improvise a tour-
niquet, Marquis arrested the bleed-
ing, The presentation of the parch-
ment to the man whose first-aid train-
ing proved so useful was made in
the presence of civic dignitaries and
railwaymen at Riviere du Loup. Mr.
and Mrs. Mero expected Frank home
for Christmas, but received word
that he was not well enough to leave
the hospital.-Goderich Signal -Star.
