HORSE KILLED AVVARNA-WHEN STRUCK BY PLANE Max Cornish, a London, Ont., pilot, may be charged with low and dangerous flying after a 1,900 pound horse was killed by a low flying plane on the farm of Mor - ion Elliott, in Stanley Township. Officials at Crumlin Airport, Lon- don, said Cornish, with his wife as a passenger, made a skilful landing on one wheel Sunday averting an accident which had alerted fire and crash trucks at the city air- port. Shortly atter provincial po- lice had been notified Mr. Elliott's horse had been killed by •an air- plane and there was a wheel and part of the plane's undercarriage in his field. Provincial Constable Helmer Snell, Seaforth, said he had not conferred with the crown attorney about charges against Cornish. He ft aid Mr. Elliott told him children had noticed, a plane flying low ov- er the farm. The children notified Mr. Elliott who went out in his field to find three horses standing over a fourtb. About 100 feet from the dead animal was found the wheel and axle of a plane. Then 200 feet further he found the tire from the plane's wheel. • TIES (Contributed) A. few things to be remembered when buying ties: 1. That a tie is something that cannot be hidden, carried in a man's pocket, or left at home, but n ust be worn around his neck. 2. That although you may not have to wear the one sent you by your aunt in British Columbia, or your cousin in Nova Scotia, yet the ties given you by those near home, are musts—they must be • worn willy-nilly. 3. That all men wear clothes, boots, hats, gloves, etc., but a man's face and his tie are his only distinguishing features. He can- not change his face, and that leages only his tie to distinguish him from other men. 4. There are different types of ties suited, for the different types of men. Some of them are: 1. The atomic ties, with its cir- cles and geometric figures, to be worn by politicians who are always dealing in circles, triangles and crooked lines. 2. The striped tie to be worn by taarried• men only, saying 'Hands Off" to any designing fe- =ales. 3. The plain tie • for men who like tie keep thele 'thoughts to themselves. 4.

Daley. The adventure was a huge suc- cess, although earlier in the even- ing rain flurries threatened and thunder clouds darkened sunny faces as disappointed children watched anxiously for old King Sol. The program consisted of instru- mentals, tap dancing, amateur box- ing, square dancing, musicals, a joke man, and singing. Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Fischer and Mrs. J. Broome favored with some old- time music. A very amusing skit was produced when Mrs. Corlett, as a newly -fledged dentist, per- formed her first tooth -pulling on a patient, Mr. J. Broome. A chap known only as Art, just hap- pened through the neighborhood repairing chimneys, volunteered some well-chosen harmonica selec- tions. His partner in chimney re- pairing, Mr. Roy Morrison, was an excellent master of ceremonies. These two very generous gentle- men also supplied ice cream for all the children participating in the evening's, entertainment. Toward the close of the pro- gram Mess Charlene Corlett thank- ed all those who had helped in any way to make the evening a success. Special thanks was extended to Mr. and 'Mrs. John E. Daley for the use of their lawn; also to Mr. and Mrs. J. Broome for the loan of their piano and truck which was used for a platform. Special thanks was given to Mrs. Bennewies for the use of her home for practice, and also to Mr. Morrison and his partner, Art, for their contribution of ice cream. The concert closed with a sing- song of old favorites, while every- one joined in with "God Save the King." Laats but not least the tir- ed but happy children trooped over to Mrs. Corlett's where a dainty lunch of sandwiches, cookies, cake and ice cream was served. The total proteeds of the even- ing was $6.00, which was immedl- htely sent to the Polio Fund of Canada. The' families 'represented in the Concert were those of R. Charters, Neehubert, T. Carter, Ed.

It's called Rocky Mountain don- key:baseball, but it can be, played just as well in this neck of the. woods, according to the committee Here are the rudiments of the game: The players will take regu- lar playing positions on the field, each mounted on a "jack" with the exception of the batter and the catcher. When the batter gets a hit'he must stride his "jack" and leg it for first base. No ball can be pitched or thrown if the player is not astride a donkey—and by the way, these are real. live don- keys, born, bred and trained in Colorado.

The season's crops, farm ma- chinery,' 11 pigs and a calf were burned when lightning -lit fire de- stroyed Arthur Dale's large bank barn, three and a half miles north of Olbaton,'in Hulled Township. An glayreito the Clinton lire bri- gade was impossible as the storm had puflthe telephone line out of order. Lass was estimated at sev- eral thonsand dollars. Included in the nakehinery lost was a hay Louder. Lois:included a valuable pure- bred Hereford bull, a calf and 11 pigs, as well as the season's crop of wheat and mixed grain -1,300 to 1,404 bushels—and all' • mentseeeedattools, except the bin - 'der. • Mr. Dale had just returned from an all-night vigil in Clinton Public Hospital where his seven-year-old daughter was lying seriously 111, when the lightning struck. First reaction was a tremendous explo- sion which sent debris flying a ht:dred yards, and immediately the barn burst into flames. Neighbors gathered rapidly but nothing could be done to save the structure or its contents. A driv- ing shed and the house, situated hearby, were saved through the fact that there was practically no wind. In Clinton; about the same time, lightning struck the roof of the residence of Michael Grealis, Gor- don St., and aroused him frcm his slumbers. He lives alone in the use and was sleeping on couch in the 'kitchen. The bolt struck the roof but the fire was cpnfined to the attic. Most damage was (lone by water and smoke. Loss is partly cover- ed by insurance. Action will be taken immediate- ly to set up a steering committee to handle preliminary details in connection with the provision of a Memorial Recreation Centre in Seaforth, according to Mayor J. E. Keating, following the favorable vote for the by-law on. Monday. The voting aroused a large in- tereet in Seaforth as leading citi- zens headed by Mayor Keating, campaigned for adoption of the by law. Opposition centred in the Seaforth Ratepayers' Protective Association, the membership of which: was not revealed. A fea- ture of the campaign was a decor- ated float, preceded by a sound truck, which toured the town Sat- urday afternoon on behalf of the recreation centre by-law. Following the voting and when the results were determined, mem- bers of the Seaforth Highlanders. Band paraded throughout town for an hour. As to when it could be expect- ed construction of the centre might commence, Mayor Keating pointed out this would depend on a num- ber of factors. However, it is quite within reason to. expect cer- tain construction to ,be undertaken late this fall, he said. There would be sufficient time, he felt, before snow to work out necessary details. With some '591 ratepayers elig- ible to vote, there were 444 'bal- lots cast. including four spoiled ballots. This works out to 'nearly 75 per cent of the possible vote. The total number of names on the list in certain cases included cations, where ratepayers assessed for property in more than one ward -Were entitled to more than one vote.

Several causes have been suggest- ed for this disease, but I feel con- vinced that a train of circumstanc- es leads to this trodble, rather than any one specific cause. The feeding of new wheat has been Suggested by some, but I have seen many cases in flocks where no new 'grain was being fed. As observed here the disease occurs chiefly in pullets that are just coming into high production, and are put into winter quarters dur- ing extremely hot, humid weather, says Dr. J. S. Glover of the On- tario Veterinary College. The first evidence of the disease is an abrupt decrease in food con- sumption, particularly of scratch grain. Mash consumption may de- crease, but this evidence is less pronounced. Chickens usually, stand around inactive with little or no interest in food. Food con- sumption on the next day is al- most at a standstill. Affected birds make no attempt to move, and, can be picked up easily. In the ad- vanced stages the head and feet are cold, the comb and wattles turn blue, and the crop is usually full and hard. Digestion and cir- culation appear to be almost stop- ped. and individuals may tremble and shake just before death. Little can be done for individual birds in the advanced stages of an acute outbreak because they do not eat or drink. Treatment must be given during the early stages., preferably, in the drinking water, as then there, is heavy water con- sumption resulting from the high fever. For treatment we suggest taking away the hard grain if possible, permitting the birds access to range, providing shade and ample watering facilities. One table- spoonful of a good fertilizer grade of muriate of potash should be added to each gallon of drinking water for seven days, If neces- sary, this treatment can. be :al- Itwed with one and a half per' cent of the same drug in the feed fer an additional seven days. Crowd ing ba the houses ehould. be aVtiet, ed, and„ if possible, means should be taken to lower the humblitY.
