No disappointment will be felt, there- fore, if the first year s operations do not reveal the plant self-sustaining, but there are several h`opeful signs that it will not continue long as such. One hundred new customers have been added in seven months and there are several hundred -disconnected services ready to be hooked up without cost to the customer.

It is not something that makes one rush to the telephone and summon a physician, and for that reason, among others. it has not received the atten- tion from the medical profession that more ser- ious diseases have obtained. Nevertheless. it is a destroyer of efficiency, and therefore one of the greatest pests of industry. Furthermore. it weakens the system and subjects the sufferer to the danger of more serious infections. Many a common cold has been too lightly thought of. and has run into throat*and ear complicationsand sinus trouble. Finally, a cold is highly infectious , so that places where people congregate become dangerous for the healthy in the seasons when colds are prevalent. -C`----- -L-.-.~ 1..."- ..6- `Inlet. lnnnn I-val-on 4-n cf-111117 flan Now They iAre After _Sn-u"lea Oshawa Reformer--The common cold is such a nuisance, such a pest, that like the fly and mosquito, it should be wiped out.

This campaign merits the support of the citizens, for after all, it is their property to do with as they will.

One thing is certain., The sale of gas under puhlic ownership in Barrie is being given every opportunity to make good, insofar as manage- ment is concerned. So far the administrative and accounting duties, including those of _the former superintendent under private control, have been taken over by the commission s em- ployees without extra remuneration. It has no office overhead whatever. The monthly wage roll is but $190., This condition cannot go on forever, of course, but it shows a desire `to give. the utility more than` a fa-ir chance.

According to -Miss Lead- lay, he was tucking it around her when she felt the car going over, and the next thing she knew it was upside down on top of them. She said they were going very slowly, not ten miles an hour, and the gen- eral opinion here is that had they been going faster they would have missed the deep ditch and deceas- ed would have been alive today.

At the spot where the accident occurred the road` is exee tionally wide,` there, being room or several cars to travel abreast on the left side of the road. As one drives towards town, there `rises a steep Ibank. On the driving side, the shallow ditch gradually drops away to a rather deep hollow, formerly the bed of a creek, then clinrbs back to a shal- low ditch again. Unfortunately. it was at the deepest point that the car went-over, landing on its` side on the slope. and settling upside down. `Had it travelled, but three or four feet further before turning for-the ditch, it would have struck a telephone polean`d been halted.` uwvvuuvuu Rushes for Assistance Mr. Beach, the gentleman who discovered the tragedy, rushed to Banff and secured assistance. \ Gay Parties UU LHCl.
