Driverless Car Goes in Circles A car, cranked while in gear, in front of Silverwood’s down town of­ fice, did a wild merry-go-round act on the main street before being brought to a halt, by the owner, Mr, Thos. Blake, of Ashfield, who scramb­ led onto the fast moving vehicle and guided it into the bank in front of Silverwood’s. When the car leaped ahead upon being cranked it narrowly missed pinning Mr. Blake to a hydro pole, as it started to careen wildly in circles around the street. It struck and did minor damage to a car own­ ed by Fred Hurd, traveller for Lloyd’s Fruit Co. The wheels of the runaway car were so cramped, that it contin­ ued in circles on the street, and is said to have completed three rounds before being stopped.—Lucknow Sen­ tinel.

Donald Lynn, also of Blyth, was riding in the truck with Doherty and suffered severe back injuries. He is in.Lucknow. The driver of the other car, Dr. William Fowler, of Lucknow, escaped with broken ribs and a sev­ ere shaking up, although his car was badly wrecked in the crash with the heavy gravel truck. Doherty and Lynn werer hauling gravel to the nor­ thern gravel road north of Lucknow. They were going north and when they arrived at the intersection near Kin­ lough, Dr. Fowler’s car approached them from the east. Both vehicles ar­ rived at the intersection at the same moment. The two drivers evidently saw each other simultaneously and applied their brakes. The machines crashed, however, as the drivers tried to avoid a collision. The heavy truck left the road rolling over and pinning Doherty under the cab. Lynn was thrown clear and suffered rather ser­ ious back injuries. The truck evident­ ly left the road when the driver turn­ ed the steering wheel after he applied the brakes. The doctor’s car did not leave the road although it was badly smashed.

NEWS of the DISTRICT I Fingers Lacerated by Saw Solomon Benniiigcr, the 22-year-old son of Mr. Frank Benningcr, of near Formosa, had three fingers of his left hand badly lacerated with a circular Saw which he was operating on Mr. George Reich’s farm. Following the mishap the victim vV£s rushed to the Bruce County Hospital at Walkerton, where despite the fact that the index Prohibition is the opposite of true temperance It is plainly in the interest of the Brewing Industry to promote True Temperance, to defend itself and its thousands of workers against the effects of extremist propaganda. But it is also to the public interest that the whole story should be told- These messages, then, are intended as a genuine service to the great majority who are not extremists on either side . . . In 1916 when Prohibition came to On­ tario, sincere temperance people voted for it. They gave it eleven years fair trial. But it failed! Then the same sincere temperance people voted for its repeal—and substi­ tuted government control. But government control cannot be ef­ fective without seZ/-control — for that was why Prohibition was a failure. Apart from the fact that Prohibition led people to drink who never drank before, just to show that no law could infringe their personal liberty . . . Apart from the habits of secret drink­ ing which Prohibition bred . . . Apart from the contempt for all law which sprang from the breaking of this one law by high and low . . . Apart from all other sorry consequences of Prohibition, the sorriest of all was that Temperance education ceased! Instead of teaching the individual self­ control, reliance was placed on law­ control. Let us now pick up the trail again where it left off in 1916. For in those days, at least, it was • not smart to be intemperate. Let us again regard the drinker as the problem, not the drink! • This advertisement is inserted by the Brewing Industry in the interest of a better public understand* ing of certain aspects of the problems of temperance and. local option.
