coming around the corner from the north made the- turn at a lively clip and narrowly averted colliding with another car about to turn north the vision at this point is obscured by an old building on the corner both cars pulled into the ditch in the effort to avert the threatened collision the chap going north commenced to arraign the other driver for not obeying the stop sign as the speed with which he made the turn indicated he hadnt so much as slowed down the man from the north didnt take kindly to tlm criticism and declared he always obeyed stop signs in order to prove this statement to be one only comparable to an annanals the gentry walked around the corner in tending to point out the sign when lo there was nothing there but a post hole someone had taken down the sign both men saw the joke anj parted smiling a new sign should be put up at this point without delar there is a local bylaw which pro hibits the setlng off of fire crackers on the main street am act which some lads
