According to Dr. Wm. Geiger. who ia in attendance, Miss Wills is suffering from a fractured nose, with the inside being badly ‘torn, a punctured abdomen wall, and shock. . According to the account of the accident received by Constable Kennedy of the provincial police, who is investigating, a car driven] by Ed. Fischer, R.

In stopping, Fischer is said to have pulled up on the left side of the road.

T FAVOR FALL FAIR To the Wiitor:-- Dear Sir, Due to the current discussion ot a" siitir'tog thd new rink it behooves me to draw your attention to the ad- vantages of the ball diamond in the park recently levelled and condition- ed at an approximated cost of $2,000. l. The property is owned by the town about 14 acres In all. 3. The use of the rink as a fall lair building. " is situated just a short distance 1mm the street car and elec- trie railway lines. _ In reference to the latter let me Bay that this site is admirable for a regulation track and was so con- sidered some years "back. The racing franchise tor this county is held by a lady In Preston and could he dbtained for a reason- able price. 2. The dressing rooms in the rink can be used for the ball players in the summer. A seasonal race in conjunction with the fall tair would I venture to may attract upwards of 5,000 out at town enthusiasts, anxious to spend their money in town. The additional revenue from this source would carry the rink during the long summer season in addition to showing a nice profit. This town has long needed some- thing or this type to wake it out of its lethargy and Its dependency on our neighboring city. _ With the approach of Christmas the Scouts and Cubs assisted by the Girl Guides ot Waterloo are again handing togebher tor the purpose ot giving cheer to less fortunate boys and girls. Commencing this week these young groups will gather all available toy. discarded in years past and convey them to their Toy Shop Jn the town hall, where they will be repaired and " far as possible made There are Butricient harness radng followers in town to get behind this movement and show results, in closing allow me to congratu- late you on your wideawake policy as evidenced by the addition of the tabloid edition and wish you con- tinued success. Sincerely. 4. The desirability of the ground tor a w-mile harness race track. Scouts, Cubs and Guides Start Christmas Work, Repair Old Toys November 21, 1936.
