Five Years‘ Service to Red Cross Given by 264 Women in Timmins Norman Randoiph, garage mechanic, gave evidence of a 1933 Chrysler sedan brought in by Provincial officers. The right front fender was newly smashed and there was other damage. The accused did not seem surprised, said Constable Marshall, when his car was seiged for examination and did nct ask why. « The magistrate eccihnsidered that there was sufficient evidence to place the aceused on trial and accordingly made commitment. Dr. R. P. Smith, who made the postâ€" mortem, itemized the injuries of the dead child, and said death was due to internal hemorrhage â€" a ruptured spleen and liver and fractured skull. Joseph RKivers, of Hoyle, said he saw marks in the snow where the accident occurred showing how the car had swerved after hitting the children. Between Porcupine bridge and scene he passed two cars.

The little boy who was killed was hurled into the air he said. He blew his horn to make the car stop but with no effect, So he told K. Smith, the next car drivâ€" er, to come on the scene, to follow the car while he took the little Boyes boy to hospital. When asked by his father later, after the accident the lad drew a sketch of the car as he remembered it. This was produced in court, and compared with a photograph cof the Chennette car. Bobby said the car had "a long nose and square windshiecld and had a box trunk behind." Bobby Wilder, young son of Mr. and Mrs, J. Wilder, was principal witness, and gave his testimony in a very clear and convincing way for a tenâ€"yearâ€"old boy. He told of going with five other boys to the bush to make a ski cabin on Saturday, Nov. 25th, and of returnâ€" ing home on the highway at around 6 pm. They were walking on the left side of the road, and were in file with Nick Ursulak and Lloyd Boyes behind.

The four ! members of the present town council seeking reâ€"election were all successful all of them with largely increased votes oaver last year. Councifior Terry; | headed the poll, with W. McDermott less than 50 votes behind. Councillor Bonhomme polled over a thousand more â€" votes than he did in the preâ€" vious contest. Many, however, will reâ€" gret that the exigercies of such occaâ€" sions as elections mean the loss of councillors as able and as earnest as Councillors Spooner and Gladstone Councillor Spooner has given six years About six thousand vyoted at the municipal elections here on Thursday last, this being 54 per cent. of the posâ€" sible vote. This is better than last year when only 44.5 per cent. voted, but it is not a record. There were 6,600 votes cast in the election here two years ago The record, however, was in 1939 (the contest . between the mayor at that time Mr. J. P. Bartleman, and present mayor, Mr. Brunette). that occasion over 7,000 votes were cast. At last week‘s election, however, Mayor Brunette was reâ€"elected by the largest majority ever won by mayor in the town‘s history.
