quires Into` Fatal
Aqcident.
MCKILLOP YOUTH
After deliberating briefly Tuesday
night a coroner's jury at London in-
quiring into the death of Ronald, Car-
ter, 14 -year-old Seaferth 1aa, who died
. from injuries received when his
'bicycle crashed broadside into a truck
at Colborne and. Simcoe' Streets, Au-
gust 12th, found that "we earnot at -
'tach any blame to the dtriver of the
truck." ° The boy died at Victoria
Hospital the day following the acci-
dent.
Winston Callaghan, aged 24, 40
Lambeth Street, the truck driver,
said that the boy failed to see the
' truck until the bicycle was. in the in-
tersection, and that he then apparent-
ly became confused and took too wide
a turn and crashed 'into the sicLe of
the truck.
"I was going east on Simcoe Street
at about 20 miles an Mar. WIien I.
was 100 feet from the intersection
with, Colborne Street, I slowed down'
and saw the boy coming from the
north, about the same distance from
the intersection as I was," Callaghan
told the jury.
"He was leaning over the bicycle.
1 blew my horn• and stopped the truck.
The bey saw me and apparently be-
came confueed and he took too wide
a turn, crashing sato the truck."
Thomas, Johnston, 512 Simcoe St.,
told of seeing the boy travelling fast
.and coming down the centre, of Col-
borne Street from the north.
"The toy was sitting straight up
en the bike, but Ire had lost control
of the pedals. I think the got excited
when he saw the truck," Johnston
testified.
He 'said the truck was stepped near
the southwest corner of the intersec=
tion for five or nix seconds prior' to
the crash: •
The boy's . grandfather}' William J.
Harrison, Scaforth, told the jury the
boy did not have a bicycle of his own
but had often ridden those of other
boys at nor me .
Young Carter had been visiting' in
the city at the home of a cousin, Wil-
bert S. Everritt, of Simcoe Street,
and was riding a bicycle belonging to
a men:filer of the family.
Dr. Fred Laney, who performed the
post -Mortem, said . • that tbe boy re-
ceived serious internal injuries in-
cluding a'perforation, of 'the intestine
and that death was due to shock re-
' suiting from these injuries.

COMMITTEE SAYS
Latest information oa the • purchase
of War Savings Certificates and War
Savings Stamps for this district
shows a distinct failing off, according
to the Seaforth committee. • Appar-
ently pledges given during the last
drive are not being maintained. rr
Possibly the holiday season bas ac-
couated in a large way for this less-
ening of effort, but with this season
Over the committee feels that • every
one should now put their shoulders
to the sybeel. Too much complacency
may well spell the difference between
sure victory, soon, or long years of
suffering, pain and sorrow in atone-
ment for slackness. - -
Seaforth's monthly quota of $2,400-
has
2,400has not been reached for three -
months, figures maintained by the
Seaforth committee indicate. 'rhe ex-
cellent beginning which the Seaforth
diatrict reported in April, when the
objective was oversubscribed by a
Iarge percentage, has diminished, un-
til in July the returns were less 'than
half the objective.
A possible incentive to increased
purchases, particularly among chil-
dren„ will be a new issue of war sav-
ings stamps, designed particularly -to
appeal to school children, which wilt
go on sale at the post office het'e ie
the near future.
The stamps, called the "V For Vic-
tory" series in the post office bulle-
tin, will be issued• in a series of ,eight

Lady in England
Appreciates Gift
Miss' Jean- Habkirk, daughter 91 Mr.
and Mrs. Errol H1bkirk, of McKillop,
some time ago knitted a jacket which
was forwarded in a Red. Crd'ss bundle
to England. She has reeeived the
following acknowledgment from the
recipient there:
28 Brookend Rd.,
- Sidcup, Kent, England.
Dear Jean: In answer to your little
'letter I received in a 'parcel from the
Red Cross, I must thank you and your
friends'in Canada for the wonderful
gifts. Your jacket fitted my daughter
lovely, although. She is only, eight,
rather
igh,rather a big girl far` her age. I ave
two daughters, Pamela, the eldest,
and °Pauline, who is six.
They were delighted, when .1 read
your letteeto them and askedto
reply for them. I was very eased,
too, as I am a Canadian yself. I
was born in Brat}tford,• Ont., but came
to England when I was nine during
the last war. I still have a Silver Cup
presented to me by • the City of To-
ronto foVbeing born in Leap Year,
1908, so you see, Jean, it is lather a
strange coincidence that your letter
should find me. .
Well, • Jean, we have had some
rougih times during the air raids.
They have dropped all :ardund us. The
last one they dropped blew me along
the passage, over a chair where I
landed up against the kitchen door.
I got up, put my head into the kit-
chen' to see if • my family were all
right as they were under the table.
We had our windows blown out and
the tiles on the roof were lifted up.
Still I thank God we are safe and
sound. We have been very fortunate
lately as we had no raids for 'home
weeks now, so Letts .hope • they have
finished. Well, Jean, I must close
now, thanking you again for your won-
derful gifts and give my kind regards
to your Mummy and Daddy. Hoping
this finds you all right, so let me
know if you received this letter. So
Cheerio and God bless you all. .
From a very grateful friend,
A. BRIND
The following is an excerpt from a
leading English newspaper, which
should be of interest to everyone who
has helped to bring' comfort to the
people of that beleaguered island:
"Having• had. the good fortune to
help unpack some, of the • superb
clothing and quilts, etc , sent here ay
Our Canadian Dominion and United
°lates sisters, may [ Mae 'that every
opportunity be taken to show them
to the clothes rationed public? Scraps
of material have b..uit used in a fash-
icn generally-forgotteabere, and such
examples of housewifely • success
would be most helpful now. Our
gratitude to the ovetsess donors will
be deeper, if pc'ssrole ter their help
in helping us to help ourselves."
This, arid the never ceasing- flow of
t.rnnks which comes to us from over-
seas, should be sufficient incentive to
us all who play a role In alleviating
c;istress. •
Although sometimes it may seem to
the 'women working for the Red Cross
in the Province that their efforts go
unheralded. This is not so! Head -
Quarters are acutely aware of the
good work that is being done . anti
their appreciation is manifold and is
ca..ly foreshadowed by our desire to
do all that is possible for those who
are being called upon to sacrifice ev-
en life itself.
