CAR ACCIDENT
On their way to Waterloo Musical
Band Festival on Saturday morning,
four local bandsmen were very luck
n that they were not seriously injured,
g Dave: Benedictwas driving his car
at and with Mm were Harvey Burgess,
- Fred Johnson and W. Reid, as they
o approached Wallensteiri the left rear
tire blew out. The car swerved from
a side to side on the gravel and then
d turned over on its side; sliding along
e the road for a few feet and then turn-
- ed over into the ditch. i
✓ It was almost miraculous that those
riding in the car escaped with a bad
r shaking up, as the car was very badly
damaged; The top of the car was
completely demolished; the: front axle
badly bent, a wheel broken off and
the steering wheel broken. The glass
was also completely shattered. The
car was taken to Elmira and left
there, but the bandsmen went on to
Waterloo.
- A trombone and two bass horns
which were to be used in the compe-
tition°in Waterloo were damaged but
can be repaired.
Despite the fact that they were
badly shaken up these men took their
place in' the band in the competition
during the afternoon.

well -attended and, except for the fi
couple of innings, was closely " co
tested. The local boys made six. e
rocs which gave Kincardine a big le
but they settled down and went o
to redeem themselves, and had th
got the "breaks, might have done ju
that.
