€0lbor THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8th, 19927 $2 a year in advance: $2.50 to U.S.A. One of the most notable events many years in this district will be the visit of General Sir Arthur Ourrie, G.C.M.G., K.C.B., LL.D., to Brighton on Sunday, September 18th, 1927, for the purpose of unveiling the War Memorial and dedicating the Memorial Park. Sir Arthur's visit has been arranged by the Canadian Legion of the B.E.S.L., Brighton branch. The erection of the Memorial is being sponsored by the people of Brighton and vicinity generally. The dedicatory services, it is expected, will bring gether the various militia units of Central Ontario, and will be the occasion of one of the largest gatherings of war veterarns held since demobilization. Many other prominent officers of the old Canadian Corps, including Brig.-Gen. J. A. Gunn, C.M.G., D.S.O., Provincial President of the Canadian .Legion of the B.B.S.L. in Ontario, have accepted invitations to attend. The services will be conducted by Capt. The Rev. Sidney Lambert, Chaplain of Christie Street Military Hospital. Toronto, who suffered the loss of a limb in action overseas. The events at Brighton, on Sept. 18th. mark the first occasion in which the world-famous leader of the Canadian Corps has visited this part of Ontario. Sir Arthur Currie, it is said, rose to the highest rank of any officer who undertook service with the British forces from the ranks of civilians. His leadership of the Canadian Corps in the final One Hundred Days of the War stamped him as a military genius and earned for him the repeated praise of Field Marshall Haig, Commander-in-Chief of the British Forces, and of Marshall Foch. Generalissimo of the Allied Forces. An invitation is extended by the war veterans and citizens of Brighton to the people of the surrounding district to be present for this notable event. After years of delay, during which numerous Supreme Court Judges had commented caustically on the conddi-tion of the building, the court room in the town hall at Cobourg is to be redecorated. Tenders have been asked for and the contract will be let at a meeting of the County Property Committee of the United Counties Council on September 1st. According to the specifications in the hands of W. J. Maher. commissioner, the court room is to be thoroughly renovated and cleaned. The panelled wood ceiling is to be cleaned and varnished; the walls to be repaired and painted to an egg shell gloss; the woodwork to be painted; the doors restained and varinshed and other minor work to be done. The work will commence as soon as the contract is let, the tenders closing at noon on August 31st. It is probable that the redecoration will be completed by the date of the Fall Court. PUNCTUALITY AT SCHOOL School teachers would appreciate it if parents would take a firm stand at the beginning of this school year that their children must get to school on time. While attendance is no doubt, reasonably punctual, yet there is usually a chance for improvement. There are some youngsters who are natural dawdlers and it is a hard thing for them to get there on the minute. It is a fine thing for a school when all pupils who are not kept at home by sickness or other adequate reason, can be in their regular seats at the moment of beginning. Such a good start gives a teacher a fresh impulse of courage. Also, it gives a kind of impression of military precision, and children ought to work better under such conditions. It would seem as if a condition of frequent tardiness must affect the morals of a school unfavorably and perhaps lead the children to be slack in their les- ACCIDENTS AND COMPENSATION I FORMER OWNER OF CITY DAIRY - j DIES IN WINNIPEG There wee 7,010 accidents reported j to the Workmen's Compensation Board | CI in the month of August, 1927, this be-; (Winnipeg Free Press. July 14, 1927) In the little chapel of the Thompson funeral home, Broadway,, this afternoon at 3.30 o'clock, Rev. Mr. Codwell conducted the services for Charles^ Barker. Following the services cortege proceeded to Brookside tery, where burial was made. With the death of Mr. Barker.1 Monday afternoon, July 11th, 192r his home, 745 Pritchard Avenue, nipeg lost a pioneer of this provij He was in his 71st year. A native of Colborne, Ontario, Barker was born August 30th, 1$56, the son of Mr. and Mrs. John of Yorkshire, England. He- first to Winnipeg in the spring of "82" ind helped to lay the Canadian Paffiflc Railway lines through the Nest Pass. Later, however, he lefl employ of the railway and gaged by the Winnipeg Fire Denkrt-ment. Mr. Barker did not remai? * this city for very long but took interest in what was known in " days as the City Dairy, the lai est at that time. For a period extending over twenty years he was thus c cu-pied but as the city grew largei sold his portion of the business turned to farming. He was very cessful in this occupation and falfced in the Lilyfield and Rosser disti its. In November, 1919, he was the vi ;im of a paralytic stroke, from w ich he never fully recovered and was fius forced to retire from active life: Barker was a highly respected er of the Canadian Order of Foresfers, Court Garry No. 2, and was a fail ;ful adherent of McDougall Mem§-ial Church. Surviving are his widow, one- on, John W. of Chicago, two daugh in H. Oatway of Lilyfield, vious month of July and 415 more than in August 1926. The fatalities last month numbered 53. This brings the total number of accidents reported the Board to the end of August this year to 46,911, as compared with 42,-244 during the same period last year. The fatal cases numbered 274, as against 237 for the same period last year. The benefits awarded during August amounted to $496,241.29, as against $446,342.27 during August a year ago, and the total benefits awarded to date this year are $4,064,645.93 (being !?3,365,910.09 compensation and $.698.-735.84 for medical aid), as compared with $3,708,349.34 benefits for the same period of 1926 (of which $3,067,600.69 was for compensation and $640,748.65 for medical aid). Speaking of these figures, R. B. Morley, General Manager of the Industrial Accident Prevention Association, states that the Association received reports through the Workmen's Compensation Board of 8,689 accidents including 25 death cases, for the seven months ending the first of August,. 1927. These cases all involved a loss of seven days time or more and Mr. Morley points out that the total payroll of the classes included In the Industrial Accident Prevention Associations is in excess of two-thirds of the total payroll in Schedule one. Mr. Morley adds that the total number of accidents reported by all industries in Ontario in August is the highest figure for the whole period under compensation in Ontario. BAN THE RECKLESS DRIVER The decision of the Ontario Government to use more drastic methods to eliminate reckless driving from the highways of the Province should be echoed by a similar resolve on the part of municipal authorities in regard to village streets. Careless driving is by no means confined to the highways. On the contrary, it probably exists in urban streets to a much more dangerous extent than on the Provincial roads. The Express has repeatedly called attention to the fact that there is too much fast driv-•n our streets and dangerous ng past Colborne's dangerous Drivers, however, continue to ignore the regulations covering these points; and if anything, fast driving places where such a practice is a nace to safety seems to be increasing, rather than diminishing. Municipalities should co-operate with the Provincial authorities; if the reckless driver and the dangerous speeder are chased off the highways they should also be banished from the treets of municipalities. r.

FACTS ABOUT EYES By Dr. Ralph Alysworth Eye Specialist (Optometric) Trenton The Human Eye is a miracle of efficiency if normal, but is the cause of many undesirable conditions if abnormal, and the sad truth is that most eyes are abnormal to some extent.

While driving home from Toronto, Mr. Duncan W. Church's touring car was smashed into and upset near Bowmanville. by a larger car, the driver of which turned suddenly to the wrong side of the road to avoid running into a buggy which he did not notice until nearly up to it, owing tc no light being carried on the rig. Mr. Church having turned his car to the edge of the roadway avoided a headon collision, but his car was struck at the front fender and turned over on its side. Mr. Church was thrown out through the top alighting the grass unhurt, while M.rs. Church and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ven-. tress were thrown to the pavement. Mrs. Church sustained a fractured rib and severe bruises, and Mr. and Mrs. Ventress also sustained bruises. The injuries were dressed at Bowman-ille Hospital and all were able to return home. Both cars were damaged considerably. Alliston Herald: Provincial newspapers are commenting on the moral tus of "Beeton farmers." This is 3 result of the exaggerated stories being broadcasted by the sensational tress. The fact is that thus far but ne "Beeton farmer" has become in-olved in the cattle stealing sensation. Farm laborers and ne'er do are not farmers and to call them such is not complimentary to that honest, sterling citizen commonly known as a farmer.
