ANOTHER TRAIN RUMOUR The Kincardine Despatch on Sat- urday says that the morning and ev- ening C.N.R. trains will be cancelled on June 1st. This will leave one train each way daily going west from Wingham at 1 o'clock and returning at 2.35. Local C.N.R. officials have received no word of the suggested change and it is hardly likely that the management would make such a change within a month of issuing a new time table and which showed the cancellation of a number of trains throughout the province. It is understood that the passenger service on the Palmerston -Kincardine branch has been maintained at a loss for some time owing to motor car competition.
