Special -comment is made in the report on the fact that during the year 1925 the nurse made 3607 vis- its, which is an increase of 796 over the number made in the previous year. Miss `Stevenson ,takes this as an indication of the amount of work being done by the nurse and as. a measure ofithe increase in the popu- larity of the benetswhich the V.O. N. is supplying. Mention is also made of the members and. officers of the local organization, who, Miss Steven- son says, have been faithful` and en- lvlltlllo The farm of Fred Thompson, who lives opposite to "Robinson s place, [was also visited but nothing was tak- en. In the mdrning Mr. Thompson found gates and doors open about his place but close investigation showed that nothing was missing. As Mr. Thompson has no chickens, the thieves must have been looking for `something else. It is thought that the thieves after visiting the Thomp- son and Switzer barns returned to [the road and placed the two bags of `chickens which they had obtained at Switzer s in the ditch to avoid poss-_ ible discovery in their car while they were busy at Robinson s.

Concentration on this phase of the activities of the Order would bring results greatly to be desired, the re ort reads, after pointing out that t e infant mortal- ity in this town should be decreased. Miss `Stevenson is pleased with the attendance at the weekly well baby conferences and suggests that local doctors might give more assistance. The recommendations made are that Miss Munro's salary be increased and that studies be made each month from the forms for publicity which are supplied and forthe. informing of the committee.

Al- though this balance is' on hand, it was stated` that unless greater interest is taken in the V.O.N. and unless more contributions and grants are receiv- ed,`it would be difficult to carry on. There was no speaker at the Ki- wanis luncheon last Friday, this meeting being devoted to business.` A letter was read by the Secretary` from Motfatt Cockburn of Clares-I holm, Alberta, sending greetings to his former fellow-members and ex- pressing his continued interest in the doings of the Club.

Its driver, Nicholas Gen- !eole, 31 Penning St., Toronto, hadl `stopped his truck- in order to get} some water from the creek for his] overheated radiator. He was llings: the radiator when the collision 30C- curred and was thrown into the ditch when his truck fell on its side down a ve-foot bank.

" ' ,. ....l I At 7.10 a truck belonging to the! Godson Cont:-acting Co. of Toronto,` .highway contractors, and driven by Charles Titford, 701 Dupont St., To-, ronto, left `Cherry`Creek for the con- struction camp at Stroud. On the ltruck were six other employees. The truck, running 18 `to 20 miles an hour, had just reached the culvert! at the foot of the seventh line hill] when anotfher truck suddenly loomed } up out of the darkness twenty-ve yand-s ahead. In an effort to avoid.` a collision, Titford swung to the left` but the unwieldy vehicle did not re-l spond quickly enongh and the right} side of T'1tford s truck rubbed along] the side of the other, catching Thos.) `Craig, who was riding with his legs} [hanging over the side. Craig was 'carried "back and his legs caught be- low the knees by the ange of an angle `iron at the tail-gate of the .s tandirrg truck. One leg was com- pletely cut off, the severed portion falling `to the road. The cut part of 1 the other leg was held only by cloth-I 'ing and skin. Craig fell backwards| ~ into the box and it was several min- utes before it was known howserious- lry he was injured. Irving Robertson, 3 who was just leaving his house, ranl out with a lantern and he and Tom} Henry, one of -the construction gang,` applied tourniquets to Craig's legs. `-50 well was this done that Craig lost little blood. Otherwise he could not; have survived. Dr. Rogers of Stroud ' was called and Irving Robertson. brought Craig in to the _Royal Vic-i toria Hospital, where Dr. Lewis com- pleted the amputation of the other' leg. Craig did not lose consciousness I and on his way to the hospital was enquiring as to the injuries of others. Though his chances for recovery; looked very poor, he is reported as -holding `his own and may pull. 'lth1-ongh. He is 43 years old and has] been living' in Toronto.
