The following letter has been reâ€" ceived by Miss Taylor, Mountain St., from Capt. Dr. McLay. We are pleasâ€" ed to note, by it, that the "doc" has beenâ€" highly recommended for his heroic work. I received your letter on the mornâ€" ing of July ist. It was soon after the battle of la Bosselle started and _ I was in the advance dressing station in the trenches. The four days and nights following I worked without sleep _ and little food in rescuing wounded from impossible places, in dressing wounded and inâ€"â€"â€"â€"â€" to our main dressing station a mile beâ€" hind us. What I saw and did in those four â€"days would fill a book. One never thought of danger at the time as one was so intent in getting the wounded out and dressing them to be sent back. It was joy to take a little risk to get the poor helpless Tomâ€" mies back to a place of safety where they got prompt treatment. I cannot mention the numbers that went through our hands. One would not think it possible but anything is posâ€" sible when one is put to it. Another young Canadian and myself with bearers searched in every possible place for wounded and collected in the trenches under heavy bombardâ€" ments; collected in the open at night and in the broad daylight for which we have both got recommended. I will never forget that morning of July ist. when the boys lined up in the trenches for the attack at 7.30, then up over the parapet into the open fields, crimson with poppies, over they went, cheering and singing with light hearts, and happy to get at the boches. Soon you ‘could see them laid low by German shrapnel which burst above them,â€"then to see the wounded making their best endeavor to crawl to a shellâ€"hole or the nearâ€" est trench was a sight one could nev er forget. Those four days and nights spent in the rescue work I count as the happiest days of my lifeâ€"fatigue or hunger never once caused me a moâ€" ment‘s thought. The one satisfaction I have is that when the 34th Division came out of the trenches that there were few if any wounded that had not been attended to or collected. At that the 34th. Division came in _ a mere skelton of what it was before it went into action. _/ ' wI do not know whether ‘I had writâ€" _1 to tell of what happened to our terbulance ;;9 weeks.’Sh ago tomorrow atfim i ~Huns shelled â€"o bilâ€" mortniak. %‘ié ‘result that two gfii(‘ers Dear Miss Taylor, PTE SLINN MAKES SAGRIFIGE W n my out thes may DR.

Albert H. AbOtt, secretary of the organization of resources committee is endeavoring to have the importance of such a movement impressed upon the municipalities of the Province.

B. Foran‘s place we would exact from every one of these brainless drivers the fullest penalty of the law and if possible at all give them a term in the "Pen." Our hat is off to Messrs. Henry and Foran for their good work, and alsoâ€"to every other constable along the road who is trying to make the idotic speed fiend live up to the law. The trouble with the speed fiend is that he imagines that he is the lord of all he surveys. Everybody else is a nuisance on the road. Well, he may think so, and may have been able to get away with it in the past, but that day is over, and everyone of them will have to stop it or else land up in the hands of the law. In the same issue of the Spectator we find the following article buried on another nage, Jm1 the issu« hour approval oOf its coâ€"oper: adhere to t] the limit of highway.

As a result, most of ownrs merely send word that they are guilty, without fense. _ A. B. Foran, J.P., of Wnona, is the magistrat the speeders appear. The two special constables are and C. B.

If the placing of constables along this highwa approval, why don‘t they approve of it in a prope ves? Why don‘t they drive like sens‘ble men and dians ? FINED FOR SPEEDING A number of Hamilton men who were caught speeding on the Torontoâ€"Hamilton highway recenlty, appeared before A. B. Foran, J. P., at Winona, on Thursday, and were each fined $5 and costs. The highway commissioners secured the services of a Winona constable and the cases were therefore tried in that place, The costs in each case almost equaled the fine, and the commissioners announce that there are more to follow, as it has been decided to prosecute all who persist in exceeding the speed limit while driving on this highway. N Any man that will take a car load of children out for a ride and then start racing at a breakneck, reckless, speed, regardless of life and limb, should never be allowed a chance to pay a fine. He should get three years in Kingston Penitentiary, with hard labor. Any man that will fill his car up with kiddies and then travel along a road at sixty miles an hour, or even forty, has less brains than the Kaiser, He should be taken out and given a hundred lashes. The men who were "clockng" the machines state positively that they never in all their experience saw such foolhardy driving as was done by the greater number"of drivers on the day in question,. Each machine was loaded with from twelve to twenty kids and as soon as the drivers reached a good piece of road they opened up and let their cars fairly fly, In more than one instance cars were timed, travelling at a rate of sixty miles and over. Is it any wonder that they were summonsed to appear in Court? They not only endangered the lives of themselves and the kiddies :)l:lt they placed everybody elses life in danger, that they passed on e road. nC The Hamilton Spectator, of Saturday, July 22nd. carried the following article re speeding and the "pinching" of speeders. Ten members of the Hamilton Automobile club are wondering toâ€"day what the idea two young men of Winona had in putting a kind of eclipse on the sunshine that the club brought to the orphans reâ€" cently, On July 15 the club undertook to entertain the orphans of the city, and it was a happy bunch of little ones that enjoyed the afterâ€" noon‘s outing. Besides giving the use of their autos, the members of the club were put to considerable expense in purchasing eatables and prizes for the little tots, and now they have had more expense piled on them. Two young men named Henry and Foran, of Winona, laid information against ten members of the club for exceeding the speed limit, and they have been notified to appear before A. B. Foran, J. P., of Winoa, and if they find it impossible to be present, their proxy in the shape of $9.50 will do. The men are indignant over the . affar, as they feel that it is stretching things too far to take such an advantage under the conditions, The stop watches were used on the road on the north side of the bay, and the men see no reason why they should have to go to Winona to answer the charge. We can very easily explain why the two young men put "an eclipse on the sunshine that the Club brought to the orphans." They put it on because the club members were living up to that old adage of "Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread." We have it on excellent authority that the members of the Hamâ€" ilton Automobile Club were not only giving the kiddies an outing, but they were also taking a mighty good means of killing them into the bargain. nto d ?"
