Mr. F. G. Lovett of the Industrial Accident Prevention Association was in town yesterday inspecting the various factories and manufacturing plants in town, and in his wander- ings about the place, did not forget to come in and give The Chronicle the “once over” to see that we were complying with the regulations for the prevention of accidents in this plant. In referring to Mr. Town‘s win- (low. the. company’s letter says that. the many hundreds of photographs submitted included some Very mas- terful presentations of tho window dresser’s art. dresser’s art. In the course of a few minutes’ conversation, Mr. Lovett informed us that he was trying to make ar- rangements, possibly some time in November, for the showing of mov- ing pictures in the town hall in an endeavor to illustrate to factory em- ployees and other workers the heme-- tits to be derived from the observ- ance of the rules of the association.

The prize received was a cheque for $15.00, which no doubt Mr. 'l‘own values more for what it means than for the amount. “'0 take much pleasure in con- gratulahng our townsmzm on his success and trust that he may long continue to excel 1n the window The association realizes that, while the employers are held 11e- sponsible for any accidents that may occur on their premises, the em- ployee, too. has a responsiblity, and it is only through the ce-eperatiml of both that Ontario‘s big accident list can he reduced and both save meney.

DURHAM, ONTARIO, CANADA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1925. $2.00 a Year in Canada; $2.50 in U. S. Mr. Smith was born on June 17. 1868. in Bentinck, on the old C. Smith homestead now owned by Mr. William Derbv, Jr., was in his 58th year and unmarried. Here he grer up to manhood and about 32 years ago with his father, the late Charter Smith. came to Durham and Opened a machine shop in the building now occupied by McGabe McLaughlin as a garage. About 25 years ago, they purchased the old A. A. Cochrane building on Garafraxa sheet where the firm, for a time under the name of C. Smith Sons, and since the death of Mr. C. Smith, under the name of Smith BIOS have since conducted business. Up to 1913, the firm was engaged in the foundry and machine shop business, but in that year, took over the agency fo; the Ford Motor Company which they have conducted Very successlully. Since opening heIe, theV have also opened agencies in Mount forest and Hanover. Though the. head member of the firm, the business VVill not be alfected by the death of Mr. Smith. but will be con- ducted along the same lines as here- tofore. So far as is known, Mr. Smith’s illness dates back as far as the last daÂ¥ of September when he left the Ho stein Fair for Mount Forest and later motored to Windsor. Return- ing from that city, it is thought. that he contracted a cold which later developed into pneumonia. The late David Smith was perhaps one (if the best-known men in this part. of the country. Having lived all his life in this vicinity, the greater part of which was spent in a public capacity, Mr. Smith was known to a wide circle of friends and business associates, and his depth _will_hc widely mourned. During his lifetime. Mr. Smith spent more than his share of time on a sick bed, but during all his affliction, never lost his ambition and enthusiasm. and it was this spirit possibly. that carried him through trials that would have proved fatal to other people. In 1907, he was seized with an inward illness that necessitated his removal to Strat- ford Hospital where two operations were performed, and for nearly ten years thereafter he was confined to his bed, recovering his health suf- ficiently to again come. down town in the year 1917. Despite this. his indomitable grit permitted him to make a trip to the West in 19-13 which he made lying on a cot, and after his recovery in 1917, the next year he went to has Vegas, Nevada, for his brother, Arthur. who died on the trip home at Salt Lake City, Utah. Besides his step-mother. who in the «lays of his first illness was his constant attendant. the following hrothers and sisters remain: Mrs. Thomas Fulton (Jane), Bentinck; Mrs. James McDonald (Mary). Dis- ley. Sask.; Nellie, in Durham; Rob- ert and James, in Durham; George and Lorne. Mount Forest; William, in Anaconda. Montana. and Andrew, in Detroit. all of whom. with the ex- ception of William. who Spent three weeks here this summen, will be here for the funeral on Saturday afternoon.

Pet- ers. will he held‘Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock from the Queen Street United Church;' after which inter- ment will be made in the family pl'o‘t‘ innpurham eemetery. Mr. Smith, as an agent for Ford cars, was an enthusiastic booster of this means of transportation, and in late years became an enthusiastic motorist and capable salesman. Last November he met with his most serious accident when on the even- ing of the 19th. he was struck by the C. P. R. night train at the. 1am- t‘raxa street crossing. sustaining a broken leg and other injuries which kept him in the‘hospital for two months or more. He recovered. how- ever, and this spring started into His work of selling motor cars and looking after the firms business, his old vim and ambition apparently nndimmed. He was a remarkable man in many ways, and his genial presence will be missed in the bus- iness life of the town. A couple of weeks ago, we report- ed raspberries being picked in the garden of Mr. Thomas Ni‘chol at Pricevlle. Last Thursday morning, after our papers were off the press, Mrs. George Campbell of Countess street came into our office with a branch on which were quite a num- ber of ripe and delicious berries. Mrs. Campbel said that she would have had no difficulty in picking enough to fill two or three saucers from the bushes in her yard. Following a ten days’ illness from pneumonia, Mr. David Smith, one of Durham’s best-known business men, gassed away Tuesday morning. at is home on Queen street. The im- mediate cause of death was heart failure. Mr. Smith was taken ill on Friday, the 9th of October. and though his condition was reported around town as serious at the time, continued reports of his improved condition had become so prevalent that the news of his death at 5 o’clock Tuesday morning was a dis- tinct shock to the business men and residents of the town and vicinity.

Two More Find Principles of Paper Incompatible With Their Bondst convictions. The following dispatch from Tor- onto under date of October 17 will be of interest to the residents of this vicini’t , and especially to the friends of r. Hector McKinnon at Priceville: “It was not a matter of the Globe’s policy at all, said William G. Jar- fray, president, yesterday. “The matter of the leaving of the two members of the staff we do not think is a matter of public interest. It is simply a case of two men leav- ing the staff such as may happen on your own paper. Mr. Irwin is a young man, a reporter, who has re- (tzen‘tly been writing editorial .mat- er.” “We have been informed by the Telegram that Mr. Jafl‘ray states that our rcsi nation as members of the staff of t e Globe had no rela- tion to the policy of that paper. That statement is not in accordance with the facts. While not presum- ing in any degree to shape the pol- icy of the Globe. we considered that the course which was ordered to he pursued in respect of a certain political issue was not such as “0 could honestly condone. The mat- ter of policy was involved, but with us, principle was the primary con- sideration.” The following statement was made hy Messrs. McKinnon and Irwin to- day: “MURPH” MERCER HAD BIG CROWD ATTENDED ANGUCAN FOWL SUPPER Annual Aflair in Progress Tonight As We Go to Press.â€"Good Pro~ gram to Follow Repast. Friends here of “Murph” Mercer of Markadle, who two or three years ago played on the defence on Dur- ham’s lacrosse team, will regret to learn that he was seized with a par- alytic stroke last week and while for a time his conditiont was serious, he is now convalescing satisfactor- ily. “Murph was one of the hast lacrosse and hockey players in this part of the country, and the game loses a worthy exponent. as it is unlikely that he will ever again flirt with such strenuous exercise.

OLD KING WINTER’S SNOOPING ’ROUND Old Man Summer is doing his best to hang on, but King Wlinter nearly had the strangle hold on him on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, when wind, rain and snow threatened to annihilate him with a series of weather gymnastics that would keep anyone guessing to un- derstand. This is the second storm of this kind in a couple of weeks, and it is getting worse with eacn repetition. With the exception of a short closing down of the hydro, due to local trouble on Bruce street~ no damage has been reported in this section, while in the section hor- dering Southampton and other places along the lake shore, we hear that considerable damage was done.

MARKDALE BOYS AND GIRLS WON AND LOST Marzkdile High school pupils were in teen Fiiday engaging in a game of ball with teams representing the Durham High school. The boys’ team played baseball, and the girls engaged in a game of softball. In the former, the Markdaleites were the winners 5 to 3, but in the girls‘ game, the Durham ladies got the long end of a 19-16 score. An excellent time is reported. High Wi_n_ds, Rain and S_no_w, flak; The weather here was anything but pleasant, with a combination of snow and rain falling for the greater part of three days. It was very slopp under foot, wet over head, and tie natural result is that busi- ness this week so far has been very poor and will likely continue so un- til the weather fares up. The annual Harvest. Home ser- vices of St. Paul’s Anglican church, Egremont. are being held on Sunday. November 1. with services at 3 and 7.30 p.111. The preacher for the day will be the Rev. T. F. Whealen of Alvinston, father of Rev. J. H. Whealen, here. On Monday, Novem- ber 2. the annual fowl supper will be held, followed by a program. This week’s exhibition,’ however, should give us a little more good weather before the winter sets in properly. For some time past the amosphere has been full of some- thing, and with the last storm, will undoubtedly feel better than it has for some time. The past month has been remarkable for rains and changeable weather, and we may have an ideal November if the law of averages prevails this fall.

The meeting was Opened by sing- ing and prayer. The minutes of last meeting were read and adopt- ed and business discussed. The Bible Reading was taken by Mrs. W. J. McFadden, and Miss E. Calder took the Tome and gave a splendid dis- course. Mrs. Dorby also gave an account of the synod meeting in Toronto. The Roll Call was an- swered by a favorite verse of Scrip- ure. The euchre party put, on by the Durham Bridge Club in the A Y. P. A. rooms last Thursday night was a most successful and enjoyable at- fair, and as a result, the Red Cross Memorial Hospital, under whose auspices the euchre was held, will benefit materially on the night’s re- ceipts. Over one hundred were present. and 32 tables were in use during the evening. Miss Winnie Blyth was the win- ner amongst the ladies after play- ing off a tie with Mrs. C. H. Motl‘at. the prize being a silver clock do- nated by Mr. D. C. Town. Mr. \V. McDonnell came first in the men's prize, winning the pack of playing cards.
