LITTLE LOCALS AN ACCIDENT An accident, which `might- have been more serious, ' occurred shortly after one o'clock last Thursday after- noon, when Percy Brown, the ten- year old son of Mrs. A. S. Inkley, was struck by a car when on his way to school. Young Brown and a cool - pardon were on a bicycle and were crossing the road from the Ontario street church to the ,school as a car came along from the east. The car 'struck the wheel and young Brown was thrown violently and it was thought he might be rather badly in- jured. Ile was bruised and scratch- ed, a bump behind one ear being con- sidered the worst, but no bones were broken. lie was kept in bed for a couple of days but seems to be not much the worse for the mishap. 'Warning - signs should be placed on the highway at this point, as there are children about, coining and go- ing, every school day. " A SQUARE DEAL FOR EVERY MAS Messrs.
