FATAL ACCIDENT (Oshawa Daily Times) As the result of a collision between a heavy transport truck driven by Foster Ferguson of Blackstock, and a - light panel body delivery truck on the & bo i 5. 53 38 the Union Cemetery, about a mile west of Oshawa, shortly before seven o'clock on Saturday morning last, Frank Green, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. Green, Dundas Street West, Whitby, suffered a fractured skull which re- sulted in his death in the Oshawa General Hospital shortly after he was admitted. i Following an investigation of the (> accident by Provincial Constable A. Runciman of Pickering, Foster Fer- . guson, the driver of the transport truck, was placed under arrest on a charge of manslaughter and was brought before His Worship Magis- fa: trate F. 8. Ebbs. He was admitted to bail for his appearance on Wednesday of this week. : : Charles Green, father of the de- ceased, and William Allin, Centre St. South, Whitby, who were passengers in the light truck were also ifijured "and were admitted to the Oshawa Gen- ; ; ~ eral Hospital where they were given <n attention by Dr, Grant L. Bird. It was "learned that both men suffered facial cuts and abrasions, but fortunately " eseaped serious injury. Tore lb On Saturday morning Coroner Dr. Se D. 8.

A short distance east of the gates of the Union Cemetery the light truck in which they were riding came into collision with the heavy truck driven by Mr. Foster Ferguson, which was on its way to Toronto with a load of cream and eggs. Provincial Constable Runciman stated that apparently the truck driven by Mr. Ferguson had pulled over to pass a bicycle ridden by Don- ald Clements, 300 Pine Avenue, West- mount, which was also proceeding in a westerly direction along the north side of the highway. The left front corner of the rack of the truck struck the left front fender of the light truck driven by the deceased and stripped the whole left side off the vehicle. The body of the light truck was a total wreck, while the rack of the transport truck was badly damaged. Mr. Ferguson and Wallace Marlow of Blackstock, the owner of the trick who was riding in the truck, both escaped injury. As a result of the collision the heavy truck is believed to have slued as the bicycle ridden by the Clements boy was struck and the handlebars broken. The boy was knocked over and suffered an injured arm. He was given attention by Dr, C. E. Wilson, X-ray plates were taken of the arm at Oshawa General Hospital, but it is not anticipated that his injuries will be serious. : It was- stated that after the im- pact the heavy truck continued up the road for a distance of fifty feet, while the lighter vehicle went twenty-seven feet down the grade before coming to a stop. .

L. DISTRICT MEETING The district meeting of the Orange Lodge was held on Tuesday afternoon. Election of officers was held, conduct- ed by Rt. Wor. Creighton Devitt and resulted as follows: District Master, Fred Smith, 1.0.L. 764; Deputy Dist. Master, Fred Ellis, L.O.L. 141; Chap, -------- Dr. Herbert A. Bruce, Lieut. Governor of Ontario, speaks for the Boy Scouts. ~~ If you speak to a boy about camping you will see his eyes sparkle as if reflecting the gleam of camp fires. If you tell him a story of a backwoodsman, an explorer, a pioneer on some distant frontier or some lonely pathfinder in the wilds of the world, he will sit silent, enrapt, looking at you and drinking in every word you say. Talk to any boy of mountains and valleys, great lakes, forests and waterfalls and with vivid, poetic imagination he will feel the wind of high places on his cheek; he will hear the stirring of leaves, he will see birds on the wing and catch glimpses of those furry, swift-footed creatures he has read about but has never seen, Never are senses so keen, never are purposes so high, never are ideals so untarnished and never is an outlet so necessary for all these first, fresh youthful impulses as in boyhood. That is why I welcome this opportunity to speak of the finest organization for boys that exists in the world today--the Boy Scouts. All the natural love of boys for the outdoors, all their longing for good comradeship, all their healthy desire for play and adventure finds completest expression in the Boy Scout erganiza- tion. But even more important than these is the inculcation of all those qualities of heart and mind and body which make for good citizenship. A Boy Scout is self-reliant. He is loyal: He 'learns to be useful. Above all he learns to serve others by help- ing them. ; Those listening to me this evening have only to read the splendid Scout code in order to recognize, better than through a challenge to the Boy Scouts to increase their numbers from any words of mine, that, by inaugurating a campaign for the ex- tension of the Boy Scout Association in Canada and by issuing a challenge te the Boy Scouts to increase their numbers from 65,000 to not less than 100,000, His Excellency the Governor- General is rendering a service of unparalelled importance to the youth of this Dominion, Every normal boy wants to be a Boy Scout. And my own admiration for this great youth movement and the value of its| tiaining is such that I am 'convinced that the whole duty of a father to his son has not been discharged until that boy has been encouraged to join the Boy Scout organization. For that organi- zation will make a true, loyal, honourable, useful man of any boy. It will make him in a word a good Scout--than which no higher tribute exists in Canada. ° There are hundreds of communities evenr-now where there are no Boy Scouts. The more you know about the aims and ideals ot Boy Scouts the more keenly will you understand what a great loss that is to the boys of any community. But it is not, I feel sure, an irreparable loss. It is for the grown-ups, the adults, the par- ents in every community to make good that loss. That can be done by enthusiastic co-operation in this campaign and by a serious effort to make available to all boys the opportunity =~ be- come Boy Scouts. And that means not least that money will be necessary ere growth is possible. May I, therefopf, urge all my listeners to do all that lies in their power to maké<the expansion of the Boy Scout movement a glorious reality. Then when Lord Baden-Powell, the Chief Scout of the World, comes to Canada next spring he will find not 65,000 but many more Boy Scouts--representing the flower of our youth in every large and small community in every Province. Mr. E. W. Beatty, the President of this great movement for the boys of Canada has himself told with what enthusiasm, with what joy and with what a profound sense of our duty to, and re- sponsibility for youth he has entered into this great campaign for our boys. And I know of no finer tribute that could be paid to the Governor General, just as I know that he himself in this year of his departure from Canada would wish to leave behind him no more fragrant and enduring memory than that of being remem- bered for generations to come as the inspirer and the inaugurator of this splendid campaign for the Youth of Canada--the country in which he has with such charm and vigor distinguished himself as representative of His Gracious Majesty the King.

That is good so far as it goes; but in this campaign to retain adequate railway service much more is required than willingness to 'let George do it." For eight or ten miles on either side of the thirty miles of railway which the C.N.R. propose to ab.un- don there are hundreds of shippers whose business in- terests will be vi:ally affected. Some of these people has become disgusted with what they considered to be - other shipping methods. There are reasons for this attitude on the part of those shippers. Such reasons may not meet with our approval, but they are sufficient to the shippers concerned. ~~ What are those reasons? The Committee would like to know. If you are such a shipper, write to Mr. C. C. Jeffrey, Port Perry, and state the "why" of your case. Also state the average amount of your business which should be handled by the railway. Other shippers are entirely dependent on the rail- way. These people should write to Mr. Jeffrey and state clearly the amount of their business with the "GC. N:R., not only in tonnage. These facts will be of great value in the conduct of this campaign to retain adequate railway service, The people must make their choice in this matter. If they wish to retain the railway, they must ~a\ so in no uncertain manner, and they must present ahi tiie facts both as to the amount of business available, and the reasons why any portion of that business is being diverted to other channels. If you are in possession of any facts that relate 10 this matter, write to Mr. Jeffrey, aad do it A I ONCI, of Five nominations were made at the second nomina- tion meeting held in Port Perry on Monday night of this week--Messrs.
