Mr. Buckley was in charge of the Canadian repre- sentation which atetnded, and many were the interesting hap- penings which he told about. The slides were pictures taken by him- self while there. Musical num- bers were given by local talent. The evening was greatly enjoyed by the audience. ' Mr, and Mrs. John Taylor of Port Perry visited friends in the village on Sunday. One of the Toronto-Oshawa busses featured in a motor acei- dent on Wednesday evening, just east of the village, when it took to the ditch and turned over. There were wenty-five passengers but no one was injured, and all were taken from the vehicle, one by one, by way of the driver's door. Fortunately, only one pane of glass was broken, other- wise, it is quite likely, some of the passengers could not have es- caped injury. The bright glare of an on-coming car's headlights blinded the driver, so that he could not see the road. The dam- age to the bus was slight. Mrs. W. J. Miller is confined to her home with a badly sealded foot which she sustained when a kettle on the stove over-boiled. Her friends hope for a speedy re- cory.
