Nov. 5 Report
The Dublin Murray broth-
ers experienced quite an
adventure as they headed out
for a harvest euchre party at
Waterloo. As they travelled
down county and township
roads here in Ontario,
Jerome, Jerry, Ronald and
Arthur Murray of our area
came around 7.30 p.m. Oct.
30 to a tractor on the road
with its lights on, and with
the lens covered with mud. It
was really scary. Our driver
was really paying attention to
his driving. Just down the
road a few kilometers there
was a car accident. We hope
we never see another one like
it again. We got there. P.S.
Please obey all stop signs etc.
