G< MEDD, Treasurer INJURIES FATAL TO TOLEDO MAN Injured in a collision of two cars north of Elginfield, Charles Chene- vert, age 60, of Toledo, Ohio died in St. Joseph’s Hosptal, London, last week. Mr. Chenevert was the most seriously hurt of four injured in the head-on collision of two cars on No. 23 highway six m’iles north of El­ ginfield. The dead man’s companion, Joseph Duffy, also of Toledo and Edward Mills, Woodham, passenger in the second car involved are in hospital, but recovering. John Wil­ son, R.R. 6, St. Marys, driver of the car in which Mills was a passenger, escaped with minor injuries. Mr. Chenevert with Duffy, were southbound on the gravel highway and came over the top of a rise in the road as the northbound car, driven by Wilson, was going up the grade. It was snowing at the time, and the car met head-on and both were wrecked. Thrown violently against the in- strum'ent board of the car by the impact Mr. Chenevert had his chest crushed and a broken rib punc­ tured his lung. His condition had been critical snee his admission to hospital. Whiskers is one of the things a mjan can achieve without inspiration. * * * When love comes to a man who is >past forty, the object’s motive is rarely affection.* * * Similes: As lonesome as the streets of Glasgow on ‘tag day.’ As amiable as a father seeking a hus­ band for a dowerless daughter. Sisters Battle Over Estate A fight between two married) sis- terb over the division of the $20,000 estate of their father,, Thomas F. Sceii, of Biddulph Township, muot go to a trial before a Supreme Court judge at the next non-jury sitting? in London, Justice Fishei’ ruled in weekly high court. A deadlock between the two over how much each is to get from the estate reached the point where pro­ vincial police were called ip, charges Mrs. Pearl Marie O’Neil, of Biddulph. She says in an effidavlt they were called to keep her from going on a farm property. The father died without leaving a will and the two sisters were named administratrices of the estate in 1936. The court was told the dif­ ficulty arose when their mother died in March of this year, before the father’s estate was distributed. Mrs. O’Neil claims that in view of a will her mother left, she is now entitled to two-thirds of the father’s property. She says that her sister Mrs. Mabel Gladys Haskett, will not agree to that. Mrs. Haskett maintains that af­ ter her father’s death, and before her mother died, the mother and two daughters made an agreement about division of the property. Mrs. O’Neil is denying such an agreement. Justice Fisher decided, on a mo­ tion asking for an order for admin­ istration, that the question of the agreement must be threshed out in a trial, and made an order to that effect. “It’s a great pity there couldn’t be some give and take,’’ said the judge. “It’s going to cost probably $1,000 to administer the estate be­ fore they’re through.” When the matter came before the court, it was revealed that long after the death of his father, $.2,000 or more was found in a bank at Lucan. Five months after his death, his estate was valued in Surrogate Court at $17,500. After that, one sister says $2,000 and the other more than $2,000 was located. Eldon Mitchell acted for Mrs. O’Neil and James Morley, of Exe­ ter, wor the other sister. I t 9 LAWSON<4. AV.
