game, Brucefield backs were hard.
pressed but the Egmondville attack-
ers failed to get through for a clear
shot at goal. Brucefield forward line
had a smooth working combination,
breaking through with the ball fre-
quently. This was noticeable during
the remainder of the game with the
exception of the last fifteen minutes.
Egmondville had a faster team, but
the cross dine work of Brucefield time
after time carried the ball right back
to Egmondville territory. Here lack
of speed or failure to kick by Truce -
field was in contrast to the vigorous
two or three man attacks of the Eg-
mondville team who kicked for
Brucefield goal a great many times.
Egmondville hail two goals to make
up at the outset and were a third ane
down when Brucefield staged a fast
p:ay several tnitnttes before the first
half ended, It was the only goal of

ing south on N, 4 htgh;vay anis when
'opposite the intersection of No. 22
highway Dickenson's car came onto
the highway, westbound on the 5th
concession of London Township.
The car, driven by Dickenson,
caught the front c•f the Seaforth
car, a convertible coupe, and rolled
it over completely on the broad part
of the intersection. In rolling over
the occupants were hurled out on
the gravel section of the road. Dick-
enson's car swerved to the left and
remained upright in front of the
gasoline station.
IHodgert and ,Andrew Houston
were uninjured except for a shaking
up and Dickenson was not injured.
Dr. H. G. Fletcher of St, Johns was
called and ordered the three women
to the hospital. They were removed
in the A. C. Irvine ambulance.
lfiss 'Betty Houston suffered only
from shock and was not admitted to
the hospital. Her sister Frances re-
ceived head lacerations that are .not
believed to be of a serious nature, On
account of Mrs Houston's advanced
age, her injuries are the more seri-
atrs.
Traffic Officer Howard Jackman
investigated the accident and placed
Dickenson under arrest.
The highway intersection at this
point is one of the widest in the pro-
vincial system and is marked with
stop ,sign's for dart and west traffic,
Despite these precautionary, signs
there have been many accidents there
in 'the past year, one claiming the
lives of four Americans and one Ca.n-
adian motorist.

INJURED AT BLUEVALE
The Blnevale Rias in front c
Mr. Miller Proc'tor's farm was :he
scene of 8 seriint, accident on Mon-
day nirnin:o,-July 30. about lit o'-
clock. It i, said by those familiar
with that section, that cm the road,
near Illuevale there are a nni,ber of
curve, which ,'b,truct a dear view
of the road ahead.
As a result Ile.. Harold White of
Seaforth lie- in the Hospital at Wing -

injured knee. Mr, White. who is the

was driving his Forl V-8 which its
has been' driving this
year. from
Blnevale to Wingham and directly in
front of the entrance to ,Miller Proc-
tor's farm his rear wheel struck the
front bumper of -\[r. Proctor's car as
he was c, ming an'to the road. Mr.
White apparently lost control of his
car which rolled over after wing (t)
feet, throwing Mrs. While, the only
other passenger, onto the road and
finally landed up on the_fcnce on the
north side Of the road with all four
wheels in the air. When Mrs. White
was thrown from the cat she appar-
ently slid along the road for some
feet. She was rushed to the ho:epitol
at Wingham in an unconscious con-
dition, where she was given medical
attention. Her skull was fractured in
two places and a knee injured. How
.ler. White escaped serious injury
is difficult to understand. He received
a cut on his cheek, but was able to
walk about after extricating himself
from the car which was terribly
wrecked. Mr. Proctor was not in-
jured. The front bumper of his car
was torn off, the 'front part of the
chassis twisted and the front springs
broken.
