CAR PLUNGED DOWN BANK OF RIVER Molesworth Car Came to Rest on Riv­ er’s Edge After a Side-Swiping Accident No one was‘injured when two cars side-swiped on MacKenzie bridge at about 1.30 p.m., Friday. Harry Tern- plemaq was driving his car south and Joe Cummings, of Molesworth was travelling north and m attempting to pass on the bridge the cars came,in contact, the Cummings car proceeded on its way out of control, finished the passage acro^ the bridge, then in a semi-circular sweep on Bristol Ter­ race headed southward down the bank of the river coming to a stop at the river’s e'dge. Cummings was alone in his car and was not injured, neither was Templeman or the passengers in his car. Templeman in an effort to avoid a collision crowded his car against the bridge, The impact of the cars was heard for a considerable distance and one can easily realize this as both cars were badly wrecked. The Templeman car was taken to1 a garage and the other car was pulled from its perilous position on the river bank the next morning. The accident was investigated by County Constable William Gardner and night Constable Gordon Deyell. The river is very deep off the shore where Cummings’ car stopped, about 20 feet, if the car had gone a few feet further, Cummings might not have been so fortunate. PRESENTATION The final meeting of the Triple V Class for this season was of special interest as it is the last regular meet­ ing of the class which Rev. J. F.

The pre­ sentation was made ;by Harold Wild and DeWitt Miller. Mr. Anderson was taken completely byb surprise and in accepting the gift, thanked the class for their co-operation and expressed the wish that he would some day re­ turn and visit with them. Solos were contributed by Jack Reavie and Frank Collar. .
