SOUND SENSE FROM
CHRISTIAN GUARDIAN
The Christian Guardian in all fair-
ness to the public question of the
proposed plebieite to be taken in Oc-
tober makes the. following comment:
"Temperance people in the prov-
ince have urged that pufficient time
had .hardly been given for the satis-
factory trying out of the present
measure, but they are not inclined th
stand too strongly on that claim,
and many of them wig be .ready to
welcome the announcement that a
vote is to be taken. In an issue of
this sort, the people in a broad way,
ought to be given the right of decis-
ion, and those citizens of 4Ontario
who believe in the Ontario Temper-
ance Act, would be the last people
in the province to desire that the Act
should be kept in force if a majority
of the people of the province do not
believe in it.
"In the long run what is best for
the people and for the country will
probably prevail, and temperance
people are in no sense fearful either
of the immediate or the most distant
results if a matter of this sort can
be 'brought to a. fair-minded, intelli-
gent and conscientious issue. It is
expected that the announcement as
to the precise form in which the mat-
ter will be voted on will be made
shortly. And it need hardlybe stat-
ed that it is also expected that Pre-
mier Ferguson will live up to his
promise that the ballot will be in
every particular, straightforward
and fair."
Miss Mae Jones and Miss Edna
Follick hay% returned from their
overseas trip, Miss Jones . arriving
home on Saturday and Miss Follick
who stopped off at Hamilton to visit
her brother, Mr. Jos. Follick for a
few days, returned Monday. Their
voyages were reasonably pleasant,
particularly returning, experiencing
little or no seasickness. Their stay
in Europe was a cantinuous round of
pleasure, notwithstanding the fact,
that there would be more or less fa-
tigue -in carrying out their extended
program of sightseeing, which had
all been previously planned and car-
ried out in every detail.
PAINFULLY INJURED
Mr. Wm. Baker, of town was pain-
fully injured while engaged on the
frame work of Wm. Sanders' barn,
of the 3rd concession of Stephen on
Thursday last. He was attempting
to walk across on a joist over the
granary, when the timber turned and
Mr. Baker was precipitated to the
floor below, alighting on his head
and shoulder, from which he receiv-
ed a bad shaking up. He has since
been confined to his home and has
been unable to do any work since.
ACCIDENT
Mr. Eli Coultis met with an un-
fortunate accident on Friday evening
last. While' returning from work at
the Canning Factory on his bicycle,
he went to turn into the Janeway be-
tween the Town Hall, and Mr. R. D.
Murphy's implement rooms,when Mr.
Wm. Snell, Jr., - who was driving a
car northward accidently struck the
hind part of the bicycle, with the re-
sult that Mr. Coultis was thrown
with much force to the pavement,
and his right leg was broken in two
places above the ankle. Mr. Coultis
was rushed to his home and medical
assistance secured, and he is now im
proving nicely. The accident was
caused by a number of cars moving
in opposite directions and to avoid
other complications` Mr. Snell was
forced into Mr. Coultis' wheel.

REGIcJThRED OPTOMETRIST
NEW AUTO WHEEL
Russel' E. McNamara, of St. Marys
has invented an automobile wheel
which promises to be of great ad-
vantage to motor drivers. The young
inventor started three years ago to
perfect an automobile wheel that
would give all the service of the pres-
ent wheels used, with the added ad-
vantage of doing away with bolts or.
wedges. He has succeeded in accom-
plishing this, and the new invention
will permit a complete tire change
without the use of tools, in 28 sec-
onds. The wheel has been complet-
ed and it is said, has stood up under
the severest of tests.
HIGH SCHOOL ENTRANCE
SCHOLARSHIPS and MEDALS
The Township of Hay Soldiers'
Memorial Scholarships for 1924 have
been won as follows:
First Scholarship, value $27.5',0,
won by Ruth Chapman,` of school No.
10 Haut, having a total of 601 marks.
Second Scholarship, value $16.50,
won, by Geraldine Surerus, of school
No. 4,. Hay, having a total of 582
marks.
Third Scholarship, value $11.00,
won by Florence Thomson, of No. 14
Hay, with a total of 558 marks.
The council of Hay acted wisely in
establishing these perpetual scholar-
ships in honor of her brave soldiers,
and thus providing an incentive to
successive classes of pupils to imi-
tate the faithfulness of her sons in
Flanders, 1914-1918, by the faithful
discharge of their duties while at-
tending school.
The Victor Lauriston medals were
donated for general proficiency of
pupils in Central and Victoria
schools, Goderich, as shown by the
results of high school entrance exam-
ination. It is remarkable that three
pupils in the West Huron inspector-
ate should make exactly the same
total, 629 marks: Catherine Craw-
ford, Central school, Goderich; Willo
Hoey, Victoria school, Goderich, and
Kathleen Snider, No. 10 Stanley,
each made 629 marks. The medals
are won by Catherine Crawford and
Willo Hoey.
