MUSTARD SAVES TORONTO VETERAN Rev, Dr. C. A. Mustard, who is men- tioned in the following news hent from Toronto. is a former- Brucefield boy and well known in this district. Prompt action on the part of Rev. Dr. C.' A. Mustard, of St. David's United Church; Robert Auld, of 64 Cloverlawn ave., and 10 -year-old Stuart Thompson, and effective first aid work by fireman Jack Fraser, . 25, a new member of the depart- nmeht, are credited with saving the life of Leonard Lewin, 22 -year-old veteran, whose canoe capsized in a Centre Island lagoon Saturday even- ing. Becoming suddenly ill while pad- dling in Long Pond, Lewin, who was discharged from Christie Street Hos- pital only last week, tipped his canoe. When his plight was discov- ered by Stuart Thomson, attending a picnic of St. David's Church, the veteran's head and shoulders were under water, and the rest of his body still resting on the partly sub- merged craft. The boy's cries for assistance brought Dr. Mustard and Auld to the scene. They waded part way out into the lagoon to where the bottom takes a sudden drop and then, form- ing a chain of hands, managed to reach the victim and pull hint. out. Attracted by the commotion, Fraser, who was on his day off, im- mediately administered first aid un- til the arrival of Capt. Leslie Brooks of the Island station. Capt. Brooks used an inhalator to revive the un- conscious man. After receiving medical attention by Dr. Hazell, a resident of the island, Lewin was removed to the Toronto Western Hospital, and later transferred to Christie Street. "If there is any credit, it belongs to the young boy, a member of our Sunday School, who got us so quick- ly when he saw what had happen- ed," said Dr. Mustard. 1111,,,,,,,,, ,1, ,111[1 ,,,,,,.
