Waiter: "Forward or backward, sir?" Four Local, Distri Young People Hint As Car Rolls Over *Suburban 'Suburbaan Extension. Raises Some Problem , Four young . people,. three. from. Seaforth, were taken to Scott Mem- orial 'Hospital here Tuesday night suffering shock and lacerations at- ter- tter- the ear they were riding a few miles east of Hensall, went out of control, ran into a ditch and rolled over three. times. Ross Colquhoun, 21, Clinton, who recently returned from Korea, yeas" driving north on the township road three miles out of Hensall, when he lost control of the vehicle. His passengers, Helen 'Currie, 18, Nor- een Hamer, 18, and Ronald Pull- man, 21, were all of Seaforbh. --Colquhoun was x-rayed at hospi- tal Wednesday for further injuries, but he, along with Pullman, were later released that day. Hospital authorities reported Thursday morning that Miss Hamer -and Miss Currie were still confined. 'Constable Elmer Zimmerman, of the Exeter provineial .polite depart- ment, epartment, investigated the accident. He estimated damages to the car at $1,000, practically a total wreck. Charges, he stated, are pending. An earlier report bhat one of the young people involved suffered a skull fracture was not credited by hospital authorities • Whether the Weather Stays Hot or Not Seer Fains for Rains One of the hottest spells of the season, in Western Ontario at least, ended this week. Tempera- tures emperatures which had persistently cluing to the 90-d gree area by day, and were not too eager to fall back to comfortable sleeping proportion at night, finally gave up their lofty perch in the thermometers and dropped. ThesweathermanAtt,, middle of the week predicts cooler air for' a few days anyway, so for the heat sufferers that's at least theoretie balm for their discomfort. That the week -end was a "blis- terer", as"the old-timers say, there is little disagreement. Sunday the Lions Park was generating its own heat as hundreds of local and dis- trict children and adults filled the area to get what relief they could in the pool and shade. One Sea - forth resident said Sunday that those of the town who weren't at the park some time or another dur- ing the day, were away only be- cause they were too hot to get themselves there. Since there was some rain Tues- day, superstitious observers are wagging that we're due for 40 days of ramp. This notion stems from the medaevil legend of St. Swithin wgio vowed long ago something or other to the effect that if his cloak were •dampened on this day the land would soak for two-seore to come. However, our modern weather prophets say this is so much 'hokum and point to their records and scientific parapher- nalia to prove that St. Swithin is all wet. Opening Night Crowd of 2,000 For 17th Lions. Club Carnival • Fair weather beckoned a fair-siz- ed opening -night crowd to the local Lions 'Club 17th annual summer carnival here Wednesday night, with official estimates of the gath- ering -running above 2000. Attend- ance, however,' was up from► last year when the Moist mood of the weatherman put a damper on the first -night of the frolic. With one night of the three-day carnival left, Lions offcials predict a capacity -crowd to take in the games, entertainment, midway and dancing featured at the Park. Pro- viding favorable weather lends it- self, they add.

W. J. Stinson was inducted, at Northside United Church here Friday ing. even- T lk T Tuckersmi a s ransportation A sizeable part of the Northside congregation heard Rev. William M. Thomas, of Duff's Charch, Wal- ton, address the minister, and later heard Rev. H. C. Wilson, of Wes- ley -Willis 'Churoh, •Clinton. Rev. W. A. Jones brought greetings from the Ministerial Association, and at the social hour, held in the church basement following the induction service, Rev. A. W. Gardiner, Eg- mondvdlle, spoke a message of greeting from the Presbytery. During the social hour and lunch which followed the service, mem- bers of the congregation were . in- troduced to their new pastor. Rev. Stinson comes to the North- side call from Binbrook, near Ham- ilton. where he was minister since returning from China over seven years ago. Rev. and Mrs. Stinson are the parents of four children, two boys' and two girls. Although presently conducting union servic- es for Northside Uhited and First Presbyterian congregations, the new pastor is temporarily engaged in camp work at the United Church's Summer Camp north of Goderich. Rev. Stinson replaces Rev. D. A. MacMillan at Neethside, who re- cently retired to London Kippen Induction August 1 Rev. Norman D. McLeod, B.A., B.D., of Lennoxville, Quebec, has received the appointment as min- ister of St. Andrew's United Church, Kippen, and will be in- ducted into the Kippen charge on Friday, August 1, and. assume pul- pit duty August 3. Rev. McLeod was born in Que- bec and took his high tin'800l work at Lennoxville Academy, and later his B.A. degree at Bishop's College, Lennoxville. He went overseas World War I as a combatant S+e the 5th C.,M,R., and was wounded at Maple Copse in 1916, and again at Paschenda.le in 1917. He took his theological studies in Robertson College, Edmonton, Alta., now St. Stephen's College, received his B.A. degree from the University of Al- berta, and served tin the northland as student missionary. After ord- ination he served two eon.grega- at the` west limits was ultimately accepted, and Council anthorrzed the P.U.G. to allow Riley to make this. connection on the one -and -a quarter -inch extension which runs from the six-inch main at the Shell gas station, on Goderich St. West, to the limits. However, this was not before Council had verbally juggled problems and responsibili- ties, both for their own part and. the P.U.C.'s, an the sulburban us- ers' question. Local Rates Need Revision Commission Chairman D'Oriean Sills queried Council on whether or not it would guarantee satisfac-• tory water pressure to outiimit• consumers if connection were made to the one -and -a -quarter -inch line. Councillor., Keith Sharp opinioned that arrangements should be made to supply water beyond the west limits, and if the P.U.C. found such a supply was being maintained at a loss, then the rates should he re- vised. 'Councillor A. W. 'Sillery agreed with Councillor Sharp. He added that the local rates were in need of revision to accord with other localities. People outside the lim- its, ,Councillor Sillery said, should be able to make adequate arrange- ments with the •Commission about connection costs. Discussion then followed, involv- ing all councillors present, on the matter of pressure in certain areae of town. The one -and -a -quarter -inch extension at the west end remain- ed a bone of contention, with divi- sion of opinion falling on whether or not it was large enough to in- sure sufficient pressure when 'sub urban consumers make connection. Some solution was reached here 1 when it was figured that if connec ' tions to this line didnot leave ade- Iquate pressure. then extension ;could be made farther east to the. 'six-inch main. Hear Street Report After Council's authorization for the P.U.C. to allow the suburban connection at the west limits, Chairman Sills moved to open dis- cussion about a new manager for the local Commission. However, by ruling of Mayor E. A. McMas- ter, the matter was declared pres- ently out of order and deferred, but with the protest of Councillor Sillery, who. along with Councillor Close, walked out and so prompted, an early adjournment at 9:35 p.m. Earlier in the meeting Council- lor T, E.
