FARMER HURLED 20 FEET BY BLAST North Bay, Sept. 4.--E. J, Lawr- ence, Widdifield farmer, sustained a fractured skull, severe head and body injuries and temporarily, at least, lost his sight yesterday when a charge of dynamite exploded on his som's farm, Mr. Lawrence was bending over the charge en- deavoring to ignite a fuse by fan- ning glowing coal embers. Mr. Lawrence was blown 20 ft, and was unconscious when his son reached his side. Following first aid Lawrence was transported to the Queen Victoria Hospital, North Bay. An operation today restored the sight of one of his eyes. Becoming impatient when the fuse attached to a stick of dyna- mite failed to explode, Mr, Lawr- ence went to his son's house, se- cured a 'uantity of coals and plac- ed them close to the fuse, and was in the act of blowing on the em- bers when the explosion occurred, the full force of it striking him about the face, head and shoulders. ce ------------ Another thing we need is a few more women who will make their home their kingdom. -- Kitchener Daily Record.

J. Un- derwood excused from participa- tion, the town council adopted at its regular meeting last night the recommendation of the town pro- perty commiittee that no action be taken at present with regard to the proposed purchase of the property and building of the old vinegar works, located at the north end of the park, and now owned by Mr. Underwood. Reeve Jackson alone was opposed to the recommenda- tion reasoning that the town would be making a grave error in not ac- quiring the property at what he considered a very reasonable price. Reeve Jackson explained that the deputy reeve was not interest- {ed in the proposition for his own personal ends pointing out that as a contractor and builder he was | certain of a favorable investment {if he chose to erect residences on this property. He also assured the councillor that the price of §3,- 000 was the bed rock figure and that if the transfer was made to the town it would be done so with- out any real estate commission. The time would come he was sure land for its park. The individual citizen he claimed was improving his home by painting up and clean- ing up to make Whithy more at- tractive and he asked what ists and increase the town's popu- lation. In continuance he council to shelve the matter. the property might be into residences and some revenue obtained in taxes but he referred ed to acquire a certain desirable site for parks purposes and is not now receiving any revenue in the form of taxes.

L. Ruddy Co., of Toronto, read by act- ing clerk Geo. Every, requesting that the town lease them advertis- ing privileges for five years at the corner of Dundas and Ash streets for $18 a year, Reeve Jackson thought that the sum was too small and it was decided to ask the company $50 per year for the privi- leges. Decision to allow the Daylight Electric Co., of Guelph, a rebate of $50 on their taxes for 1928, was made in response to a written re- quest from the company. The firm formerly occupied the old vinegar factory which was parti- ally destroyed by fire. Its value was reduced much below 'the as- sessed value and as they had paid full taxes, it was considered only fair to give them a partial refund. Councillor Mowat, chairman of the property committee, moved that Russel Bailey be given the use of the park for 1919 under the same arrangement as previous. The council was in favor, Upon recommendation finance mmittee, accounts to- talling $3,325.11, were passed and ordered paid.

Mr, Kenny is an Toronto and since his entrance to college he has shown great promise in academic and athletic activities.
