Cornthwaite, Discussion of the continuing of the paving of Third Avenue brought out the fact that the town‘s proportion of the cost would be very heavy on acâ€" count <of the street intersections, Broadway being a feature. Councilâ€" lor Drew suggested that the Power Co. might be prevailed upon to transâ€" fer their power line from Broadway to Second Ave. The present power line could be then closed as a street and the"land sold by the Town. Afâ€" ter the Town had paid for the moving of the line there would be a good proâ€" fit in the transaction.

All the public and separate school grounds could be used as playgrounds and other grounds also secured. Equpment for play, similar to that installed on the playground in the Hollinger Townâ€" site would be put in. It was expectâ€" ed that this equipment,â€"slides, swings etce., ete., would cost around $2,000.00. This money <would be raised by a drive put on by the Commuttee. The Council was asked to pay the salary of the supervisor who would be absoâ€" lutely necessary to make the plan a suecess. The playgrounds would be for the use of all children from 8 to 12 years of age. The supervisor would be assisted by volunteer helpâ€" ers in the work. Mr. Hugo Shaw, also outlined the work planned and showed the advantages and benefits. Councillor Longmore thought the plan might be a good one, but that it should be in more definite shape before the Council assumed any responsibility. Eventually a resolution was passed to the effect that the Council would pay the necessary salary for the superâ€" visor for three or four months, proâ€" vided proper eqmpment was secured and the plans and organization gone on with in approved way.

At first it was feared that the youngster might have interâ€" nal injuries, but Xâ€"ray examination at the hospital showed this fear to be unfounded. There was also a report that the baby‘s hip had been broken or. injured. This fear was also un founded. Fortunately, the youngster escaped with the one injuzy only from its long fallâ€"a broken leg. Fortunâ€" ately, also, this in jury is not proving serious and the baby is making the very best of recovery, resting easily and getting along fine, despite the hot weather. «There will be general good wishes for the baby‘s early and comâ€" plete recovery.

The youngster, _ only about 18 months old, fell from the bedroom window on the second floor of the post office building, striking on the hard ground below. At first it was thought impossible that the child could fall in such a way as to escape the most serious injuries. However,, the child did escape with no more serious hurt than a broken leg, and! the break is a clean one at that, and! already the youngster is comfortably on the way to recovery, d The child had been placed on a chair some feet away from the winâ€" dow and being left alone for a moment, the maid returned to see the youngster‘s feet going through the window. Apparently the child had gotten down from the chair and eclimbed up on the window ledge where it overbalanced, falling â€" headâ€"finst: through the window to the ground h low. Just how the child escaped striking its head or suffering serious injury is only a matter of conjecture. Medical aid was immediately secured and everything possible done for the child. The only injuries apparent were a bruise or two and a broken leg. The break was below the thigh and is The Oddfellows Convention was held in Cochrane last week.
