A CHAPTER, OF ACCIDENTS
Saturday was a, lay of accidents.
During the day , Mr. Hugh McKay,
Stratford, who •leas working on the
new Supertest gas station being er-
ected in Ontario street, had the mis-
fortune to fall, breaking his knee
cap. He was immediately rushed to
the Public Hospital, where treatment
was given and he is still there:
The same evening Mr. John Wel-
ker er was about to cross the street at
the 1Vl:orrish corner when he was
struck by' a car driven by Me-. D.
Sours, thrownthe
u s, to roadway and
received injuries to his head and face
neeessiting several stitches. Mr.
Walker saw the car but too late to
get completely' out of its track and
Mr. Sours .saw 1\4r. Walker to late
to come to a complete halt.
On the same day Ma. Walter Mc-
Lennan, who was assisting in shing-
ling the town hall at Bayfield, fell
from the building, sustaining a frac-
tured shoulder ''end " other injuries.
He was brought into Clinton and ptyt
under the X -11 -ay and given imme-
diate treatment.
All three patients are doing fairly
well.
LAST NIGHT'S PLAY
"A Pair -of .Sixes," a three -act
comedy, was pit on in the town hall
yesterday evening by the Birth
Dramatic Society, under the direction
of Rev. Father Sullivan. The en-
tertainment was under the auspiees
of the Altar Society of St., Joseph's
church, Clinton.
It was greeted by a good hoose and
it was well -presented and enjoyed by
these present. The play was fleet
staged in Blyth for the benefit of
the band and was so' successful that
the Satiety has been asked to repeat
it several gimes,
There are eleven people in the
play, five of them taking major
parts, and each part was played
With ability and enthusiasts, even
the smallest one. The stage was suit-
ably set, to depict an office in the
first act, a drawing room in the last
two, and the play was written about
a 'couple of beelines partners who
could not agree aria 'wbo 'played a
game of poker to deeide'wliich would
for a year serve the other in a nmem-
ial papacity. It all hingeb upon the
manner in which the loser goes a-
bout Ms task of playing butler'in his
partner's home and 'how it all ended.
Between acts Mx. 'Sib;:horpe and
Mr. Mason cf Blyth sang some solos
and an orchestra from Blyth, assist-
ed by Mr. Phelan of Clinton, contri-
buted several selections.

London, English and history; Miss
Mary E. Deperv, Ingersoll, mod-
erns; and Miss Frances 'Brydone,
junior teacher. At time of 'writing
a Science teacher has not been en-
gaged.
THAT CROWDED CORNER
In regard to the accident at the
Morrish corner on Settieday night
hist Mr. Sours claims that owing to
the crowd of people standing on that
corner he had not a view of the road-
way and did not see Mr. Walker in
time to bring his car to a standstill
in >time to avoid striking him. Mr.
Walker might also claim that for
the same reason he did not see the
car in time to avoid it.
But be that as it may that corner
seems to be a very popular si`.and on
Saturday nights. The fact is you
have to elbow your way through the
crowd, usually. One woman com-
plained to The News -Record that she
was obliged to get right off the walk
into the deep snow with her baby's
sleigh when passing that corner in
the winter as she was unable to make
her way through the crowd. Other
women declare that they will not go
to that store on Saturday eight, be-
cause they have to push their way
through in order to get in.
It seems to be a regular rendezvous
where townsmen and their friends
from the surrounding community
gather for the exchange of news and
views, and nobody wishes to stop
them, The wish of friend to meet
with friend is a harmless and natural
wish, but they should try to avoid in-
conveniencing others.

Free Press refers to a sister -cf Mr.
