Roberts, 491 Con- cord .-\ve., Toronto, turned over in- to the ditch on highway No. 11 about a mile and a half north of Barrie. The accident, which occurred about 8 o clcock, resulted in `injuries to Mrs. Roberts, who sustained a cut on the head, lacerated and bruised shoulder, and suffered from shock. She was taken to the Royal Victoria Hospital, where she was attended by - Drs. Turnbull and A. T. Little. Later in the day she was able to proceed to her home.

Barrie is to.have a. part in thel province-wide Drink More Milk Campaign. A. H. Wilford, the, genius of the Onion Week and` "`Old Home Week campaigns, was! in town last week lining up local support for this new scheme to help the producer market his product to the mutual benet of he dairy man and the consumer. The campaign is .being' organized through the Ontario llilvilk Producers Association, and will `have the co-operation of the repre- sentatives of the Department of Agriculture. A four weeks program has been drawn up. One week the consumers will be urged to use more -milk and cream. The next it may lhn inn I-ma-n~n nnrl r-nnrlpnusrl Ynillx `nrn. Those who were sceptical about thel town being able to do its own paving should go to Small street and watch Foreman Ed. Shuter and his gang pouring cement. On Monday morn- ing everything was ready to start operaiions, and by evening 110 feet of the street were paved, 300 yards of concrete having been laid. Several . engineers watched proceedings throughout the day, and before night complimented Mr. Shuter on the job being done. The pavement is 24 feet wide, wit}: curb, making it 25 feet from the outside of the curbs. The con- crete is ten indies thick at the out- sides and about seven inches in the centre, and the ratio a little better than one part cement to five pains gravel. When the concrete is poured a groove is made for the curb, and this is put in the next day, so that the curb is locked in, thus as- suring strength and durability.

The new Jun- ior Fair building, built last year by|i the Barrie Kiwanis Club and the j farmers of the district, was lled with stock exhibited by the juniors. One hundred and seventeen juniors made` 4 a total of 606 entries and the quality of many of the exhibits was such that more than one judge was heard , to remark that the junior exhibits were worthy of a place at the Royal Winter Fair or the C.N.E. Each , year the fair has grown in size and interest and value to the juniors and the public alike. 7 All the Junior Fair section needs 2 now is better accommodation for the ' girls exhibits, and this, it is under- `- stood, is under consideration. __._g._____ Coroners of the County of Simcoc are reminded that the Crown .~\t- 3 torney s ofce, Barrie, now supplies all forms used in connection with their duties..

Years ago Jennett was considered about one of the best pitcher around this part of the county, when Ivy had a real ball team and .winnin;, championships became a habit with them.

The Barrie team will be on their toes for this crucial battle and the fans who saw the last battle between these two teams will be out in force for this important struggle. Barrie needs this game badly. fans will have a chance to look over one of the best senior teams in To- ronto when the West Toronto Native Sons play the local nine in an ex- hiibition game. This. game should be well worth seeing and will give the fans an opportunity to compare the brand of ball played in the Toronto senior leagues with that played in this part of the province.

Gastle, charged with murder in connection with the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Hisey in the Niagara River, was in, Barrie this morning. In an interview? with The Advance, he stated that C. W.

Mr. Bell was special prosecutor in the Steinburg triali and is considered one of the leading counsel on the Niagara Peninsular, having a number of important de- fences to his credit, as well as a good deal of Crown `work. , Questioned regarding the rumor gara Falls instead of Barrie, Mr. Cleaver was very reticent and evasive replying that one never could tell what might transpire. .

The majority of the county council representatives were of the opinion that Simcce County had gone about the limit in provincial highways for the present, but pressure from Oril- lia and Midland was doubtless brought to bear upon the department. The linking up of these two towns by a modern highway will be an ad- vantage and that is what every sec- tion is after. The province assumes .eigh1y per cent. of the cost of con-I tistruction and maintenance of all provincial highways and the county S-`twenty per cent. For 1930 the .'county s share amounted to $198,- 000, which meant that nearly a mi]- ., lion dollars was spent on provincial Eiroads within this county. ' n I 0RlLl.lA-MIDLAND .

Mr. Shuter, who instigated the move, and is backed by a majority of ill: town council, believes that the town can save money by doing its own paving. All local labor is employed and the money paid out is spent in the town. A close check is kept on| all expenditures in connection with the job and the exact gure will be awaited with interest by local citi- zens and the big contractors.
