__ the after
noon on Saturday Jack, along with
XValter (Buddy) Sims, jumped onto
"a bobsleigh belonging to Mr. Frank
‘yrjebner, of Stephen and driven by
his; son Douglas. The team was a
spirited one and had attempted to
run awsiy before the boys got on the
sleigh. <;On Carling street they were
•driven into a bank of snow in front
of Mr. Peart’s in order to bring them
under .control. While driving down
Station street they agahv became-un
manageable. Tlj,ey swung off the
road at the Canning factory and the
sleigji struck a hydro pole opposite
the office of Mr. R. G. Seldon where
botli of the youngsters were picked
Up. Jack was suffering from a badly
bruised and broken leg which bled
profusely. Dr. Dunlop was immed
iately called and the little fellow
was removed to the , doctor’s office
and was latei* rushed to Victoria
Hospital- in London, where it was
found that both bones of the right
leg '’ad been broken below the knee
and that the muscles of the leg had
been practically torn away.Whether
.this was caused from striking the
spOSt^or the runner of the sleigh go-
ihg over, the leg on the hard ice is
not Jinown.
The driver- of the team showed a
great (leal of pluck in holding on
but the drawbolt came out and’ the
team got away and ran around the
oil tanks at the station before being
caught,
' Un /Monday Messrs. Sil’as Reed,
Harold Taylor, Sylvester Taylor,
Lloyd Baynham, Kirt Hutton, AV. H.
'ftod E. Harness went to ’London to
give \a blood transfusion to the lad
and the lot fell to Mr. Reed. Immed
iately after the transfusion the leg
was amputated half way between the
knee and the hip.
The only injury to Walter^Sums
was a cut caused by a tooth
through his lip.
FARM MECHANICS’
COURSE PROVES POPULAR
The special weeks’ course ip Farm
Mechanics which was held in Exeter,
February IQth to 14th was very well
attended and proved quite popular
with the farmers of the surrounding
district. The course was under the
direction of the Huxion County
Branclx of the Ontario’ Department
of Agriculture and the two instruc
tors were Mr. J. C. Duff, of Harris-
StOix and Mr. E. B. Kelly, of Ren
frew. Mi*, Kelly spoke op gas en
gines and farm tractors and Mr, Duff
dealt with the following subjects,
ropes ftnd splicing, tools, paints and'
whitewashing, concrete, farm mach
inery, building constructions and ru
ral sanitation. These two men are
specialists in their respective lines
and dealt with their subjects in a.
very interesting and practical man
ner. '
A feature of the course was a Jec-,
ture given by Mr. Bishop of the Hy
dro-Electric Power Commission of
Ontario. He. spoke on the growth
and development of rural ‘ Hydro
from its start in 1922 up until the
present time and emphazied the fact
that, due to its low cost, no farmer
can afford to be without the Hydro
providing he is in a position to take
advantage of it.
The average attendance for each
day was seventy-five, along with the
interest displayed by those present,
makes the course one of the best
which .was ever conducted in Huron
County.

The following recommendations
were made as objectives to be for
the coming . season. In Victoria.
Park, several trees are to be remov
ed, as well a-s other items to be5 car- •
ed for. In the new Federal Pax-^
where the new Post Office is being
erected, the shrubbery will be pre
served as much as possible, uniil
the . building is out of the hands of
the workmen. The Committees of
the past ha<f spent considerable time
and money on this, spot, and are
anxious that much- of’, the original
beauty be .preserved.
In the Riverview Park it was felt
that the town had one of the finest
opportuniities, both, for the present
and the future, for a beauty spot,
that is open to any town in Western
Ontario. The last few years has
seen .a few more trees* planted, most

To Purchase Trees
Planting along the south^shfe o£
the dam will be delayed^until the
cleaning of the^salne is completed,
Evergreen^, nut and ornamental trees
will be "used. They were authorized
to use ?50.0O ’for the purchase o£
trees and shrubbery. It was recom
mended that the driveway be im
proved, and that a mound be pre
pared in the centre for a clump of
Peonies. On the Station grounds-
the Committee are willing to plant
trees and help beautify the grounds
if the C.N.R. will co-operate with
them. In Central Park, flowers ar&
to be divided and planted where they
have been winter killed. Besides?
the work on the Public property tliet
Committee trust that the same co
operation from the citizens will’be
given .as in the past to help maha
this the prettiest town in Western
Ontario. In fact they are asking
if the citizens will not redouble their
efforts and try and get as many
more interested as is possible, by
so doing, it makes the task easier
for every one.
