From Drowning infiver Miss Edna Ball, 17, daughter of Mn. and Mrs. Leslie Ball, Clinton, awes her life to the quick 'thinking and prompt aetions. of Glenn Lock- hart and Dr. J. A. Addison, Clinton, and R. 3.

Messrs Lockhart and Carter pulled her from the river, ands Dr. Addison applied artificial resuscitation . for ten or fifteen minutes. A twin act of heroism was en- acted just previously when Miss Phyllis~ :Hlernran, Gtiintoay " •saved .Edna' younger sister, Helen, 13, from the swift current of the Maitland, but was unable to reach Edna who drifted on farther until spied by her rescuers. Lost Their Balance The three girls—Phyllis Herman and Edna and Helen, Ball — had bicycled from ,Clinton to the Mait- land River. They were in .bathing in shallow water at a favorite spot east of the bridge when the younger girls apparently lost their balance in the Strong current at this point and were swept downstream into deeper water. A good swimmer, Miss Herman was .able to grab Helen Ball and get her ashore, but Edna Ball kept going downstream on the surface of the water and under the bridge, At first, Glenn Lockhart and Dr. Addison, who wefe fishing at the bridge abutments, thought the girls wore fooling in the water, but soon. realized the seriousness of the sit- uation. They saw Edna Ball coming down .under the bridge and being drawn farther out into the river, which is 18 to 20 feet deep rat this point. Mr. Lockhart .stripped off his clothes and swam halfway out to- ward the girl, He grabbed her and held on, ,uautil help .arrived in the person orf R. 3. Carter, who farme on the old :Forster farm and who had heard the cries for help. He and Em. Addison swain out to assist the courkle in the river, Mr.. 'Curter get- ting 'there first, The three made the •shore ef an island and Dr. Ad - diem rendered artifrnial respiiratioul•. 'Speetatots who gathered stabed that; the men deserved every credit in the world for their timely action' in saving the young lady's life.

Having forked +the 1,000 panned load into the carrier,eie,proceeded to haul it by block and tackle to the top of the barn, where it ordinarily would be carried into the inow and the load released by a trip rope. However, unknown to Puss, the trip rope had became caught on the hay rick. As the load reached the top of *he barn the rope tautened to trip the hay and sent it crashing - down on him. G„ MANY FARMERS ARE USING SALT TO HELP CURE HAY "The continued wet weather, with the high humidity, M certainle re- tarding the progress in haying op- erations," LeRoy G.. Browns. Clinton, agricultural representative for Hur- on County, stated today. "In certain parts of the Com—rhea lot of hay has not yet been cut, which meads that with the advancement in maturity, the quality of the subsequent hay will be much lower. A considerable quantity of hay is being put into the barns in a condition with 'which far - niers would normally not he satin Tied, and many •are using salt to help in curing and also in making the hay more palatable next whiter when taken from the mow. "There M considerable difference of opinion 'as to whether the sprdnk- Iing ef salt on hay, .that contains a rather. .high percentage of moisture, will aid appreciably in preventing moulding or undue 'orating. Many feel that adding salt to hay 'which has become too mature helps to bring it back e little and in ems cases as much as 10 to 20 pounds of salt is used per ton of hay, believing that the hay is then more apt to be of good quality. One thing certain, it will improve the palatability or the hay and keep drown mould, and less salt will need to be fed during the winter months to stock being fed with this hay. • "However, the one point whic=h I wish tie stress, the salting of hay is no insurance against spoilage or against spontaneous combustion if the hay is much too damp. Too great reliance cin salting may in fact, be dangerous. The only safe plan is not to store hay in a been unless it is dry enough far .safety." Two RCAF Men. Fined For Assaulting A.

The court agreed *hat identification under the circum- stances was diffieulb The pair was erigimtlly charged with assault occasioning actual bod- ily .harm, but on the strength of evi- dence the charges were seduced to common assault.

The collision took place aboat 11.20 a.m. (DST). • Three Baden residents were killed in the crash: Glen nSchwau'tzentruber,. 14; Ray Snider, 11; and Ernest Roth, 22, a bridegroom of less than a year. Owned by Samuel, Roth, of Laden, the truck was carried half a mile dawn the books before the train could be brought to a stop. Engineer Williams Feint, Toronto, said the train struck the vehicle broadside, ,Bodies of Glen Schwertzentrcober and Ray Snider were still in the vehicle when the train came to a standetili. The body of 3Dtsaiest Roth, is son of Samuel Roth, on whose farm the accident took place, was found un- derneath the train, eight coatohes back. It is known that Ernest Roth was in charge of the vehicle but it is thought that Ray Snider might have been' driving. The accident took place at a cross- ing formed where a lane on the Roth (aim crosses the CNR tracks quite close to the wear ef a school house in Baden. Railway officials at division head- quarters in Stratford said the drive' of the truck apparently failed to see the approach of the train, and drove an the crossing on the Roth farm. The train was in charge of En- gineer William Flint and Conductor E. Milner, both of Penontc. ,Engineer Flint said the truck approached the level crossing "veer fast." He kept blowing the whistle, he said, "and when I was about five telephone poles lengths back from the crossing I applied the brakes full and had them on when the engine hit the truck," The three youths, all Mennonites, were returning home from dusting potato plants. The truck was loaded with insect powder 'which hung in clouds over the scene after the im- pact. The young bridegroom's par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Roth, were en route to Michigan by train at the time, to attend an uncle's funeral. They were advised' at Sar- nia of their son's death. M. J.
