OBITUARY
Mrs. William J. Scott
The Township of Morris was
greatly saddened by the passing on
Wednesday last, of Norma Mc-
Kague, beloved wife of Wm. J. Scott
in her 39th year.
Mrs. Scott was exceeding well and
favorably known in this community
having lived her entire life in this
district. She was an active member
of Ebenezer United Church.
Beside, her sorrow,ng husband, she
leaves to mourn her loss, three dau-
ghters, Mary, Laving and Evelyn,
and twon sons, Spence, 3 years of
age, and an infant son 1 month old.
She is also survived by her ,mother,
Mrs, Andrew McKague, one brother,
Wilfred, lst con. Culross, and two
sister, Mrs. Quay Hilborn, (Eliz-
abeth), Wiarton, and Mrs. Robt. W.
Thompson (Agnes), .Guelph.
The funeral was held from the
residence on Saturday,July
family restd J y
byRe
23rd, and was conducted v, A.
E Mann, Pastor of Ebenezer church
and Rev T. 'C Wilkinson, a former
pastor. Interinetit was made in the
family mausoleum, Wingham ''Cemet-
ery.
CHAUTAUOUA WAS
GREATLY ENJOYED
Programs Splendidly Received, But
Deficit is Large, and, Will Be
About $450.00
There is no doubt that the pro-
grams, supplied by Chautauqua were
greatly enjoyed by all who were
privilepd to hear them. The deficit
this year is not as great as last year
but will cost each guarantor 'consid-
erably more money than last year as
the number of guarantors were but
twenty.
"New Brooms," the comedy which
was played the first evening, was
well -staged and.' proved most enter-
taining.
Sorrentino and his Venetian Strol-
lers, who` provided the program . on
Wednesday afternoon were well re-
ceived. The scenery portrayed a
Venetian scene, and the 'musicians
were garbed in colorful costumes of
that, country. The solos were 'great-
ly enjoyed, also the duets and trios,
but most delightful were the selec-
tions in which the perfect blending
of all the voices made beautiful har-
mony.
On Wednesday evening the same
company again delighted the audien-
ce with another excellent program,
Dr. Vaughan's lecture on the Econ-
omic Situation" was very instructive
and he left with his audience many
ideas that will be useful and helpful.
"Government by Gangland," the
lecture given by Attorney C. Ray
Hansen on Thursday afternoon was
a vivid story of the ruthless manner
with which the gangs of Chicago op-
erate, and left the feeling behind
that it was good to live in Canada
under a proper judiciary system.
The Scottish Musical Comedy in
the prelude of the afternoon and
their presentation of "The Cotter's
Saturday Night" won the hearts of
all. The Scotch dialect and Scotch
songs and jokes made a decided hit
and the excellent h rniony of their
voices was delightfully pleasing.
The Artist Trio presented a pro-
gram of distinction on Friday after-
noon and to the lovers of music this
was a rare treat indeed. Hugo
Brandt, whose technique is faultless,
thrilled his audience. Leola Aikman's
crystal pure soprano voice of rare
quality won her way into the hearts
of all, Vladimar Lenski is well call-
ed master violinist. He held his
audience as if in a trance during his
solo numbers. Again in the evening
this Artist Trio presented a prelude
which captivated the audience. John
i.. Ratto was billed as Impersonator,
Humorist and Entertainer, '' ..nd by
his clever and versatile impersona-
tions he supplied an evening which
will long be remembered.
Saturday afternoon the children
were entertained by the Marionn-
ettes "Hansel and Gretal" "The Three
Bears" and "Goldelocks" were pres-
ented by the talking and walking
dolls and not only delighted the
children but formed a pleasing en-
tertainment for the adults as well.
The play "Merely Mary Ann", ; the
last program to be presented, was
well presented. The cast is to be
congratulated on the . splendid por-
trayal of the characters. This play,
which, most of • us have seen in the
movies, provided a fitting closing
nuinber to the splendid programs
which were presented during the
week.
C. N. R. Earnings
The gross revenues of the Canad-
ian National Railways for the week
ending July 14th, 1932, were $2,661,-
638, as compared with $3,376,180 for

decrease of $714,542.

FIREMEN'S STREET
DANCE, SUCCESS
Two Orchestras Supplied the Music
as Dancers Thoroughly Enjayed
Themselves
The first of a series of three Street
.Dances' held ander the auspices of
the local Firemen, was a real suc-
cess. Two orchestras supplied the
music which kept those in attendan-
ce constantly in the mood to dance.
Arthur's Orchestra supplied the mu-
sic far old and new dances at the
western half of the dance area while
Jack Carr's Dance Band inspired the
dancers in the area nearest Josephine
Street.•
. A refreshment booth between the
dance area's appeared to do a thriv-
ing business.
The conduct of the crowd was
splendid and no doubt the succeed-
ing two Friday nights, July 29th and
August 5th, the Firemen's Street
Dances will be well patronized.

A VOLUME OF
MOTOR ACCIDENTS
4 Motor Car Accidents on Monday
Chapter 1.
A Chevrolet car from St. Thomas
was approaching town on the Bel -
grave Road, about 5 p.m., and as it
reached Victoria St,, ran into a truck
driven by W. C. Lepard, Apparent-
ly the truck failed to stop at the
corner and the man from St. Thom-
as could not avoid hitting the truck.
The truck drove away none the
worse of the bump, but the Chev,
was bashed up a bit, the lights and
front fenders were damaged, but no
one was injured.
Capter 2.
A Kentucky car, a new Buick, was
proceeding along Highway No. 4,
about three miles south of Wingham
and as it reached the bottom of
Shoebottom's • hill, a horse driven 'by
J. Salter shied, and the driver of the
car swerved to avoid a collision and
the car turned a complete circle and
landed on. its side in the ditch. No
glass was broken but the driver hurt
his knee against the dash, and his
lady companion received a nasty cut
near . the knee. The car was repaired
and proceeded on its way Tuesday
morning.
Chapter 3. •
Two cars collided on the Teeswat-
er road about three miles from town.
Mr. Cummings, London, was driving
a Graham -Paige sedan and was pro-
ceeding toward Wingham, and Mr.
Parker Campbell, of Wingham, was
going toward Teeswater in a Chev-
rolet coach, when loose gravel caus-
ed the cars to side -swipe, and they
both landed in the ditch. Fortunate-
ly nobody was hurt but the cars
were considerably damaged, The
Graham -Paige had the running board
and fenders on the left side badly
crashed, also the frame of the car
twisted and the radiator badly bent.
The Chev. has a twisted frame, bro-
ken axle and the running board and
front fender on the left side were
damaged.
Chapter 4.
James Kirby, of Teeswater, was
called about 10 o'clock, Monday
night, to get the Graham Paige that
was in the accident mentioned earlier
in this article, and with his mechan-
ic, left the garage, and before they
had got out of Teeswater the wreck-
ing car hit a hay wagon driven by
Bill McCrea, 4th of Culross. The
wagon had no lights and before the
accident could be avoided the wreck-
ing car piled into the back of the
wagon and drove the planks onto
the horses. One 4 -year-old horse
was badly hurt and will likely have
to be destroyed. The mechanic who
was sitting beside lir. Kirby, was
thrown from the car and badly hurt
but just how seriously could not be
learned. The old 45 McLaughlin car
used as a wrecker, was badly smash-
ed up, and its days of usefulness are
likely over.

stable for Huron, it has been an-

"Where's Your Light?"
Is a query heard quite often, but,
generally it is directed at some mot-
orist whose tail -light has ceased to
function, unknown to him, Howev-
er, it is just as illegal, and more
dangerous, for a buggy or wagon, to
be on the highway without a light,
and as the drivers of these vehicles
go out, knowing they have no light,
they should be treated just as sev-
erely, or mare so, than the motorist.
