No ex- planation o! bis absence bas been given authorities who conducted an intense searcb on the theory that he carried a large arnount o! money and might bave either met 1 witb foul play or been suff ering Il from amnesia as a result o! the accident. Mr. and Mrs. Barnes1 formerly lived an Wellington St.,j Bowmanville. Mr. Barnes is said ta have left Bowmanville at 12.30 on Thurs- day morning headed for bis home in Toronto. At 4.30 bis truck loaded with over $1,000 in auto- motive accessaries !ailed ta make the turn at Deans Corners and rolled campletely over, ligbting ight side up on its four wbeels with tbe accessarieà strewn over the road and the body o! the truck w.recked. Ed. Dean beard the crash and questioned the driver wbo was sitting in the cab. The man was apparently unhurt and Mr. Dean re-entered bis home a!tem enquir- ing if the accident victirn. would like ta use bis phone and receiv- ing a negative reply. Twenty minutes later, Harold Dean, a son, came out o! the bouse and approached the truck but was un- able ta find any trace o! the driv- er. After several liaurs tbey natif ied police and the automo- tive campany. From that time until Monday, the man had been seen only once by a friend at Cliffside Golf Caurse, Toronto. and Mrs. Barnes and other relatives were appre- hensive as ta what bad happen- ed. On Friday night a passe o! aven 20 nmen fnom Newcastle and Bawmanville searched ahang the creek and tbnougb the heavy bush in an endeavon ta locate the man. Rumouns iwere investigated fnorn Orono, Bawmanville, Port Hope and Newcastle, and inally bis mavements were traced conclus- ively, but stiil he could nat be iocated. Provincial Canstables John L. Whitty, Eowmanville, and L. A. M4ennie, Cobourg, and Chie! Coni- sable John Garrod, Newcastle, canducted the investigation fori three days until they became sat- is!ied that Barnes had not been seriously injured, nor bad met with faul play. Tbey were surprised ta learn that he returned ta bis honmr oni Monday as tbey bad received noi notification o! bis arrival. Charges1 o! leaving the scene o! an acci- dent and also reckless driving will probabhy be laid. Miss J. Galbraith, Bowmanville's Second Oldest Lady Died Saturday Would Have Been 95 onDe b er ideals.

W. C. Smith, speaking of the future, at the Rotary Club luncheon Friday.. The time wiil corne when stores will be co-operatively owned such as most of tbem are i England at the present time. When our diets will be so scientifically ar- ranged there wiii be no sickness, no need for doctors, or dentists. We shah not be troubied with rheumatism and men wiii ail be six foot, three inch Apoilos and wornen will be Venuses. In those days tbe bridai gift will be a ser- ies of tine cans, filled with the perfect food for a year. Speed of travel wiil be such as we have neyer dreamed. In the air we shahl rival the speed o! sound, and on land speeds of two and f ive hundred miles wîii be everyday occurrences. Farmers will be able to grow in a garret or a barn as much as they can now grow in 150 acres, and tbis pasture will be auto- matically cut with a scythe. Everything wiil be mecbanized and systematized. There will be no siums, as lar- ger buildings, towering into the sky, wiii take care of the over- crowded situation. Wives will have notbing to do but relax and make use of their leisure time. At present the legacy which is being ief t to the young people consists of unernpioyment, siurns, disease, foolisb governent, in- ternational hostiiity, a crazy ec- onomic systern and an unbalance democracy. That will ail be changed in the future, Mr. Smith conciuded. The speaker was introduced by Rev. E. F. Armstrong, Blenheim, formerly pastor of Trinity United Cburch, Bowmanviile, and Past President of Bowmanvilie Rotary Club. He expressed bis deligbt in renewing acquaintances in town and bis speciai pleasure in being present for the Rotary Carnivai on Wednesday.
