IN ONE DAY

ough, might have been much worse,
On Saturday morning Jack Newton,
son of Mr. and Mrs: Reg. Newton,
at leastfive minutes to the Kingdomwas assisting in Mr, C. Michael's bale -
In the afternoon Earl Ring, son of
Mr. and Mrs. W. C. King, was get-
ting' a thrill out of throwing rocks
over the dant when he got one a bit
too large and which didn't go in but
sent him in. While the water was
very deep, he had the presence of
mind to grab a floating log and crawl
along until he reached the edge where
he crawled out. Earl is none the
worse of his ducting. We -understand
he was the first to fall into the wat-
er at the darn, and it is hoped this
lesson wil be sufficient to stop these
accidents.
