Graham was killed, and five passengers in his car were injured. Mr. Cameron, a native of Bay- field and former school principal in Toronto, retired two years ago to live in Bayfield, where he had for years spent summer vacations with 'his family. On Thursday, he had driven to Toronto to bring his son, Evans, 32, and daughter, Mrs, Isabelle McPherson, 35, home for the Easter holiday. It was upon their return that the accident occurred. Mr. Cameron had both legs broken; they are now in casts. He received a gash on his neck, and x-rays revealed broken ribs. His condition is still regarded as serious. Evans was thrown from the car, receiving head injuries and a broken leg. He suffered so much • from shock that doctors were not able to operate until Monday when they did ,operate upon his head, and set the brok- en leg. His condition is satis- factory. Isabelle escaped with a large bump on her head, some shock and a bad shaking up. The two cars met with such force that they were fused to- gether. Wreckers /were used to pull them. apart. Three ambul- ances and the car of Dr. J. T. Speck, Cooksville, were used to transport the injured from the accident to St. Joseph's Hospital, Toronto. 0 Bayfield Man Badly Hurt In Crash Clinton Lions Club now en- joys the unique distinctipn of having among its nearly-50 members, three pairs of broth- ers: A.

The articles are supplied by the CDCI Beard. ,•••••••••••••••• In the past two decades, re- markable progress has been made in the xnechanicel field. This progress will continue. The stu- dent of today, who hopes to take part in the development of to- morrow, must receive thorough training in the basic methods of construction. Industrial arts and crafts in present day high schools provide this training, if proper facilities are available. A convenient size for a shOp room would be 2,000 square feet. The present shop room at CDCI comprises only 700 square feet. This area includes a small room for storage. A modern shop provides facil- ities for four simultaneous activ- ities: drafting,' woodworking, sheet Metal work, and orriamerit- al iron work and gas welding. There should be adequate noels and equipment for each of these activities in order to obviate de- lay in the 'work process. Each bey 'should be able to work con- tinuously, without waiting in line for a machine. In the present shop there are only one wood lathe, One band saw (purchased 15 years ago), one drill press (with a bent Garage Entered (By our Hensall correspondent) Hensall Motor Sales was enter- ed Saturday morning and two car radio, fog lights, and $10 in cash were stolen, besides a quantity of tobacco and cigarettes. Loss was estimated at $250. Thieves gained entrance by breaking the glass in the front door, reaching in to unlock the door. Willard Buchanan who operates a garage across the road saw the thieves leaving about 4 a,m. and notified P.C. Elmer Zimmerman of Exeter. A sharp-eyed policeman who remembered a licence number, one of dozens on the "wanted car list," was responsible for ap- prehending five Toronto youths wanted for questioning in con- nection with the robbery. Pro- vincial Police Constable Carman Hogg, of the Stratford detach- ment, spotted the car Saturday night about 6 p.m. on Highway 8, w est of Stratford, and chased it in to Stratford. The loot, found behind the back seat of the car, was identified as property of Hensall Motor Sales service station. P.C. Zimmerman stated that charges would be laid against the five youths: Gerves Shaw, 18; his brother, Clarence, 20; James Blackburn, 17; Robert Hanson, 17; and Gordon Cole, 16. T h e youths were taken to Huron County Gaol, Goderich. o • Clinton Spring Fair Is Going Ahead "It's going ahead for sure, and will be held on Saturday, May 31, as previously decided," A. 3.

There will be afternoon' and evening performances, similar to the programme staged last. year, Mr. McMurray said, spindle), and one grinder (which grinds nothing but tools). There is a dearth of sheet metal hand tools and machines. The equip- ment, which does exist, is prac- tically worn out. Tools, like ears, do not last forever. Our boys are handicapped by the inade- quacy of our present eqtiipment. Work is also impeded by in- adequate lighting. Since the shop is below the ground level, nat- ural lighting is minimized. 'Nat- ural lighting is of course, super- ior to artificial lighting. In the new shop there should be suffic- ient window space to supply the room with even light. There should. also be provision made for fluorescent lighting, the most natural artificial lighting avail- able, so that on dark days the boys' work would riot be hind- ered. Our students, the future house- holders of our society, should be given the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of drafting, woodworking, and metal work- ing. Now, in their formative years, Is the time for them to learn these skille. If they are not trained thoroughly and ef- ficiently' in their schools days, they must resort to hit-and-miss tactics in the future.
