_ ~HURLBUT ‘‘Capt. and Mrs. Cornthwaite are leaving next week for their new charge which is at Bracebridge. The Captain and Mrs. Cornthwaite have made many friends,. in town during their stay here who wish them all suecess and happiness in their new home. We can assure these officors of the Salvation Army that Braceâ€" bridge is a delightful place in which to reside, a pretty place with trees and flowers and a friendly people. Capt. Edwin Blake of Chapleau, is the officer in charge. He will be here for Sunday next."‘ Friends in town and district of Capt. and Mrs. Cornthwaite, who were in charge of the Salvation Army at Timmins for some years, leaving here last year for New L.isâ€" keard, will be interested in the folâ€" lowing from the last issue of The New Liskeard Speaker :â€" ‘"‘The Price family, of Dymond Township, narrowly eseaped. a terriâ€" ble accident on Sunday last. It apâ€" pears that Messrs Stan Price and Mr. George Price, each with cars, took Mr. and Mrs. James Price (their parâ€" ents), their wives and two babies for an afternoon up country. (George Price‘s car, which is a closed car, was stopped on a slight incline overlookâ€" ing the creek, while the other car stopâ€" ped a few yards behind. The party had their luneh on the grass between the two ecars, after which they separâ€" ated, for a short time, Mr. and Mrs. Price, Sr., and the two babies getting into the first car, to await the return of the younger members of the party. Shortly after, those down by the creek heard a scream, and were horrified to see the first ear come bounding over the steep bank, turn over a couple of times and land in the water which almost submerged it. Stan was quite close and rushed to the wrecked car, where he found father standing in the water holding up his brother‘s baby. Mrs. Price had apparently been thrown out of the car and was wedged under :t, while his own baby was floating head down in the car. George, who was some distance away, heard the ery for help, but before he got there Stan had managed to get his mother out \and was working over the baby, which was apparently dead. His efforts were successful, and the injured ones were rushed to town with as much despatch as possible. Monday morning, while all are more or less injured, Mrs. Price appears to be the only one who has suffered=~ seriously from what might have been one of the worst tragedies of the year.‘‘ CAPT.

CUSHION SOLE Better Value The following is from the last issue of The .dalleybuqan â€"â€"â€" ‘*+Mrs. James Hendry, a well known and respected resident of Haireybury f6r the _ past twelve years, passed aâ€" way at her home on Albert Street on Sunday morning, June 20th, after an illness of some six months. She was 67 years of age. ‘The late Mrs. Henâ€" dry was born in Falkirk, Stirlingâ€" shire, Sceotland, and came to Haileyâ€" bury with her husband and family in 1914., She has resided herg ever since. Although in failing health for two or three years, she was of a very cheerful disposition and bore her trouble bravely. She was a lifelong member of the Baptist Churchand was well thought of and respected hy a large circle of friends and acquaintâ€" ances, who allâ€"extend their sympathy to the bereaved ones. Surviving the late Mrs. Hendry are her husband, Mr. James Hendry, one daughter, Mrs. Johnston, of Cobalt, and four sons, Robert, in London, England, Jas. and George, of Poreupine, and Jack, of Haileybury. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon at 3 o‘clock. Service was conducted at the family home on Albert Street by Rev, Mr. Lindorse, Pastor of the Hairleybury Baptist Church and inâ€" terment was made in the Haileybury Cemetery. A great many friends and neighbors of the family gathered to pay their last respects to‘one who was at all times a valued memiber of the community in which she lived, and a great many floral tributes were sont by friends."‘‘ DEATH OF MRS. JAMES HENDRY OF HAILEYBURY He went to the event fully prepared to hear a rather inferior orchestra. He had the surprise of his young life. Two surprises, he had, in fact! First he was somewhat astonished when he saw the twentyâ€"piece orchestra gathered on the platform. He had a still bigger surprise when he heard them play. ‘‘That was the finest orâ€" chestra I have heard in any dance hall in all my experience,;‘‘ he said after the event. A gentleman from Toronto, who is a frequent visitor to the better class dance halls in the city of ‘Toronto, happened to be in the camp last week and was attracted to the Musicians‘ Ball in the Melntyre Hall last week. ‘‘"THE FINEST ORCHESTRA EVER SAW IN A DANCE HALL®*‘ FEDERATION LIFE From ages fiftyâ€"five and sixty material comforts make their greatest a;;peal to us.

TE THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO. ‘‘Throughout. the United States there is a strong feeling in favor of compelling, by law, every owner of a motor car to take out insurance aâ€" gainst personal injury to others and damage to property ; and in several cf ‘‘For the past three or four years The Speaker has been endeavoring to convince the Temiskaming general public that automobile insurance is quite as necessary as is the issuing of a license, and should be compulâ€" sory to all those who are not shown to be financially in a position to meet any demand made upon them for damages inflicted by either themâ€" selves or those using cars owned by them. Our remarks did not appear to meet with the general sympathy we think they should have, but we are pleased to see that we are not now alone in having these radical views on what the Government should do in this regard. As we have pointed out on numerous occasions, there are peoâ€" ple running cars who are absolutely irresponsible, when it comes to payâ€" ing for any damage they might do to personal property or even the persons they meet on the road or carry in their own vehicles. There is another class, by far the largest class using autos, who would be financially ruinâ€" ed if they had to meet the demands for death or car damage if they were not protected by insurance. Certainâ€" ly publiq liability insurance should be made compulsory, and the holding of be demanded before a license is issued for a car. The Ottaâ€" wa Journal follows the Poreupine Adâ€" vance in demanding that this question be dealt with. The Journal says: For some time past The Advance has heen advocating compulsory liability insurance for all motor cars. Accidents in this town and district suggest the advisability of some such measure. Throughout the Province And the Dominion each day there 0câ€" curs some accident where the public is at a loss because of the lack of protection of this nature. It is generâ€" ally recognized that the owners of cars are liable for any damage done to property or human beings through the negligence of drivers. But what use is such a provision in the law if the owner of a car is worthless, as often happens, or has not enough money to meet the damage done, as is very often the case. The innocent public suffers. The suggestion of The Advance is that every CAR used on the highway should be compelled to carry indemnity insurance. In case of accident this indemnity â€"inâ€" surance would be available for any damages required. With this provision in foree, and with every motor car driver being licensed only after passing a proper examination as to qualifications, the public would have half a chance in this game of dodging death. Wl The New Liskeard Speaker in its last issue says :â€" Present Conditions are Proving a Hardship to the Public in Many Cases. All CARS SHOULD AAVE INDEMNITY INSURANGE The man who said he knew he was lying on a bed of roses because he could feel the thorns. As a gentle reminder that all subâ€" seriptions to The Advance are payâ€" able in advance to The Advance. The Advance has recently sent out a numâ€" ber of accounts for the coming year‘s subscription. If you have received one of these little reminders, pay the proper attention to it by paying the proper® amount for the subseription, â€"$2.00 for Canadian addresses, and $3.00 for U.S. subscriptions. For ten years The Advance has been on a strictly paidâ€"inâ€"advance basis for all subscriptions. Hence, if you do not pay in advance, or promptly renew your subsceription when due, we have no other alternative than to think that you no longer desire the paper forwarded. The only iway we can know you want the paper continued to your address is to receive your $2.00 or $3.00 in advance. If you dao not want to miss a copy of The Adâ€" vance see that your subscription is duly paid when due. Many thanks! ‘*With the constant multiplication of motors, it should be a proper meaâ€" sure of public policy to prohibit any one from operating a car who is unâ€" able to meet any liability on account of injuries or damages he may cause, Elementary justice demands that much; and the whole matter calls for the prompt consideration of those who are primarily responsible for the present state of the law."" SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCB **Experience has demonstrated that in a relatively high percentage of cases of personal injury the injured party is unable to recover damages. The liability of the owner of the cgr may even ‘be admitted, yet he may be able, by reason of his proverty, to evade payment. If he had been comâ€" pelled by law to carry insurance, some measure of compensation would have been recoverable by the victim of his carelessness. ‘‘A case recently arose of this uwaâ€" ture. A wageâ€"earner was on his way home, and was knocked down by a motorist who was driving his car at a rapid pace on the wrong side of the street. He was laid up for weeks, and suffered permanent physical imâ€" pairment. His claim was indisp itâ€" able; but he could not, owing to tke cireumstances of the guilty owner, recover a penny. the states legislation has been introâ€" duced to that effect. Although it first glance this may seem like an arbitrary thing, as well as an enâ€" eroachment on the rights of the indiâ€" vidual, second thought reveals at least one strong point in its favour. /////// ]||l\\ Q\\\\\\\ 3€E g viâ€" M oged Fi'ame with t\ Durant Motors of Canada, Limited A Complete New Line Timmins MARSHALLâ€"ECCLESTONE, LIMITED "The NEW STAR is Supreme in the Low Cost Field.
