Graham, C, Webster and L, Ten- nant, returned yesterday from a suc- cessful two weeks' hunt at Kennis Lake, in Haliburton, just outside of Algonquin Park, Each of the hunt- ers shot a deer, while J, Graham re- turned triumphant with a 400 pound male black bear.

NO COURTESY SHOWN A big brown bus roared its way up Simcoe street yesterday after noon and swerved in and out of traffic like a high-powered sport car, driven by a college freshie out to show a fair co-ed how to get thrills in motoring. An employe of the Oshawa Street Railway Co., was working on a steel rall near the intersection of Athol and Sime coe, Between him and the line of parked cars on thy east side of the street was a small space through which most motorists threaded thelr way with caution. This was not the case with the big bus, It scarcely diminished its speed, and when the worker looked up from his labors, he sighted it coming straight for him. The gap between himself and the other cars was far too narrow for this monster and the section hand stood stock still, while spectators wondered. The matter did not seem to worry the hus driver, for he chose the wrong side of the street and swept hy the 'ahorer leaving him a foot or two to spare. If, In his perlexity, he had stepped to the side there wonld have been a nasty collision be- tween a heayy man-made machine and a mortal man, The care, conr- tesy and common sense campaign hat not yet won everybody to its side, Oshawa Committee Asks Help | of Citizens to Bring Joy to Needy Homes C.
