RESCUES YOUNG DEER
1
While Eldon,.Renwick, of the How -
ick -Carrick townline, was cutting
wood in his bush recently,his dog
g
sighted a young deer and gave chase.
The deertook to the open field, but,
being pretty well exhausted by the
chase through the deep snow, was un-
able to clear the high rail fence that
surrounded the field, and the dog
caught it. Mr. Renwick's timelyar-
rival, however, prevented the dog:do-
ing the deer much injury. The deer
is a female, and looks'to be less Vian
a year old. Fearing that it might fall
victim to other dogs in the neighbor
hood,, Mr. Renwick tied up the cap-
tive's feet and took it home to his
stable, where it is now comfortably
and safely housed, It was too timid'.
to eat during the first few days in
captivity, but it now eats out of El -
don's hand, and is becoming quite
tame./ Mr. Renwick intends liberat-
ing the animal as soon as he considers
it would be safe for it to roam at lar-
ge again.—Record.
A YEAR OF GAINS IN MAIT-
LAND PRESBYTERY
The Presbytery of Maitland of the
Presbyterian Church in Canada re-
ports another year of progress in all
directions.
There has been fine increase, both
in membership and in contributions.
A' net increase of 152 is shown in
members, . And if the same rate of in-
crease,is maintained for another sev-
en and one half years, that is shown
since the Disruption, the numbers will
be up to Whattheywere before June
loth, 1925.
Contributions to the BudgetFund
show an increase over the previous
year of $x88o, The W. M. S. givings
increased by $96o. Givings to all Mis-
sionary purposes increased by $3s59•
For all Congregational purposes an
increase of $64o6 is shown,
"The spirit and loyalty and devo-
tion of our people", says the clerk of
Presbytery, are beyond praise.
ACCIDENTS AND COMPEN-
SATIONS
There were 5,570 accidents reported
to the . Workmen's ' Compensation
Board during the month of February.
These included 82 death. cases. The
recent disaster at Timmins was in
part responsible for the unusually
large number• of death cases, there
having been 29 fatalities in the. Hol-
linger fire. The total number of acci-
dents' reported was about 50' more
than in the previous month 'jc Jan-
uary. The benefits awarded i''` Feb-
ruary totalled $552,93x.00, which is
somewhat lower than the figures for
January when $569,775.50 was award-
ed: Medical aid in February totalled.
$93,867.95 which is little higher than
the, $91445.40 paid or medical aid in,
January, •
Commenting on these figures R. B.
Kerley, General Manager: of the In-
dustrial Accident Prevention Associa-
tions, points out that a large number
of minor accidents are being reported.
The figures compiled by the Work-
men's Compensation Board over the
past several years indicate that there
•
has been a steady decrease in the per-
centage of mechanical accidents, In
the last two years about 20% of the
accidents reported have involved con-
tact with machinery. It is a fact,
while mechanical accidlentst are being
reduced in number, severity is fre-
quently in evidence, Recent reports
received by the Industrial Accident
Prevention Associations indicate a
number of burns from hot metal or
from electric wiring, Two fatalities
have, been reported since the first of
the year by electrocution and: a num-
ber of metal burns. Street and high-
way accidents continue in the reports
made to the Compensation Board' and
as many of these mean the death of
the driver, the accident prevention as-
sociations are encouraging other
forams of activity that will make. ,for
a reduction of this form of accident.

LISTOWEL WINS ROUND BY 1078 .043
CROWD ACCOMPANIES TEAM TO LISTOWEL
A special train and a host of sup-
porters accompanied the Wingham
team to Listowel for the second game
Wednesday. Wingham set the pace
in the first period and had quite an
edge on the home crew, who could
not get going. Neither team playing
good hockey, but Wingham scored
the "only goal of the period from a
scrambleat the net, Towards the
end of the period : Wingham tired
somewhat and failed tet maintain the
pace they set at the beginning: Lis-
towel had several beautiful chances
to score but always failed to deliver
the necessary scoring punch,
Kemp evened the count early in the
second period on aTass from Rocher"
Listowel assumed the upper hand and
took the lead when Bell rushed in to
score on Creighton's rebound. The
lead was short lived as a Wingham
forward stole the disc from Ronald in
front of the Listowel net and tied the
count., Kemp scored but Referee :Mas-
ters ruled the play offside. Kemp
and Bell combined to make it 3-2,
Bell taking "Fish's"` perfect pass to
beat. McGee from close in. Two min-
utes > later Bell repeated, when he
snatched the disc from a forest of legs
in front of the net, and drove it into
the cords.
Kelly was ruled off for body check-
ing and although Wingharn pressed
with the .extra man power, no more
scoring resulted before the period en-
dea,
Howson began the third frame
when he beat Johnston on a long high
lift from the left. rail. Kemp beat the
whole Winghamteam on one of his
dashing stickhandl;log attacks, driv-
ing the rubber high;and dry into .the
corner of the cage to make the tally
5-3. Listowel were no ve playing the
best hockey and only the stellar work
of McGee in, goal, kept then from pil-
ing up a. huge count. Creighton, •Ro-
cher and Kemp were through in
quick succession only to have McGee
smother the shot. Bell finally scored
his third goal on a pass from Kemp,
inside the defence. This ended the
scoring and Listowel now meets Pais-
ley in the finals for the Northern
League championship.

WINTER'S LAST KICK
Perhaps the worst storm of the sea-
son blew up Thursday last, reaching
its height on Friday, with a driving
snow storm. Both railway lines 're
ported late trains, from two to 'twelve
hours behind schedule despite the fact
that plows were up and: down the
lines. Since then >a decided change
has taken place, a warm rain and sun-
shine playing havoc with the snow
banks. On Tuesday a rain added' its
effect to reduce the winter's accumu-
lation. In all it looks as if spring was.
just peeking around the corner.

GRIFFITH'S BUY WINGHAM PLANT AND
WILL MOVE IT TO STRATF'ORD SOON
)(Announcement
Announcement was made this mor-
ning by H. L. Griffith, vice-president
and general manager of. G. L, Griffith
& Son, that his company on Saturday
afternoon had completed the purchase
of the Federal Rubber Company of
Winghatn, and that the plant would
be moved to Stratford in the near
future. /
"We have also secured the factory
of the Canadian Vickers Company on
Front Street in which to house the
rubber concern." said Mr. Griffith in
discussing the transaction. It will be
a month to two months before the
plant will be in operation here as it
will take considerable time "to get the
plant in shape and the machinery and
stock moved down from Wingham,
'We have engaged F. W. Willis,:
the present manager and president of
the Rubber Company as manager,"
Mr. Griffith said, "So far we have
not yet decided what name the plant
will operate under but we may retain
the present name for the sake of the
advertising. It will be Department
No. 3 of ourbusiness and will be op -
crated as part of the present: business,
hot as a separate company,"
Mr. Griffith said that his company
had assumedl, the obligations of the old
company and had made a satisfatcory
arrangement in Wingham, whereby
the owner of the building there took
the place back in lieu of the mortgage
but released the stock and machinery
wlmich will be $novcd to Stratford.
In speaking of the efforts of the lo-
cal )men to get the plant here, qtr.
Griffith- said that his company felt
that the men who had subscribed for
(Stratford -Beacon Herald, March 12)
stock in the rubber company:should
not be left out if they wished, to make
an investment, "We are offering
those who signed the subscription list
preferred stock in our company if
they want it,"' he said. They are not
taking nearly the risk as our company
has always paid dividends and the rub-
ber company has not, We are mak-
ing that offer so that it will not ap-
pear as if we were gobbling it all up
and not giving anyone else a chance."
Tlie closing of the .negotiations on
this industry conies as the culmina-
tion of several weeks of effort on the
part of the Board of Trade and City
Council. Originally the idea was to
1 bring the plant as a separate company
and to that end some $mz,000 was sub-
1scribed by the citizens. The G. 1..
Griffith company then offered' to ptit
up the reniainceer of the money need-
ed to bring the plant and take control
or in the alternative to put up all the
money and take over the company as
a subsidiary concern, This latter pro-
cedure is what has resulted and the
Griffith company is now offering: their
own preferred stock to the pmmblic
spirited citizens who were willing to
assist in bringing an industry to the
city, if they want it.
It is estimated that this concern
when it gets established with thene-
cessary equipment will employ prob.
ably 25 to 35 hands, with a chance for
expansion. It is therefore quite a
healthy young industry and ought to
help local condlttiotrs somewhate, It
".l weeks L 110W vel`
w e , be six dt colds to two
months before the .plant begins oper-
ations here.

AUDITORS' REPORTS' TO BE
PRINTED
According to an amendment to the
Muncipal Act passed' at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature, Clerks of
municipalities are to print and distrib-
ute the auditors' reports, instead of
published as councils direct, The ex-
act wording may be seen on. page 465,
section 179 of the statutes for 1927.,
Enforcing publication of the auditors'
reports is only a step to giving the
public protection from 'any attempt to
conceal errors in the municipality's
affairs.
