Eight Ingersoll people narrowly escaped death last
Saturday, when the Sarah Maude, cruiser owned by
E. A. Wilson, blew up and sank in 90 seconds. The
Ingersoll people were among 16 aboard the cruiser to
watch Miss Canada running pre-Harmsworth trials on
lake Muskoka, near Gravenhurst. Suffering broken
limbs, burns and shock, the eight were rushed finally to
•Bracebridge hospital, but are now well on the road to
recovery and all will be home in Ingersoll this week-end.
Rescuers said it was miraculous that no one died in the
blast heard four miles away. The ill-fated Sarah Maude
is shown in the above picture moored by the prow to
Gull Island, 100 yards from the scene of the neartragedy.
Eight Ingersoll People Escape Death
A s “Sarah Maude” Explodes and Sinks
Eight Ingersoll people, only seconds away from death
last week-end whenJthe boat in which they were riding ex
ploded and sank in 90 seconds, today are oh the road to
recovery either in hospital or in their Ingersoll homes.The eight were part of a party of 16 aboard E. A. Wil
son’s cruiser, Sarah Maude, watching Harold Wilson put hisMiss Canada IV through its paces preparatory to the Harms-
worth trophy races at Detroit, July 29-30. The Sarah Maudewas stationed in Lake Muskoka, near Gravenhurst, in charge
of Mrs. Harold Wilsbn. The boat began to drift toward MissCanada IV’s course, and Mrs. Wilson pushed the starter to
move her back. There was a flash of flame, a boom that couldbe heard for miles, and in the next seconds the Sarah Maude
was under water, bits of her blown hundreds of yards, and16/nen, women and children—burned, broken and stunned—
were struggling for their lives in the 100-foot lake.
“It Was a Miracle”
“Hell couldn’t possibly be more terrifying than those in
describable minutes we floundered dazed, burned and bleed
ing in a sea of blazing debris,” said Gerald Richardson,Toronto Star photographer, who was aboard the Sarah Maude,
along with his mother, aunt, wife and two small children.“It was only a miracle no one was killed by the blast, or
drowned,” said Provincial Constable Cyril Pinder, Bracebridge.
The eight Ingersoll people aboard were:
Mrs. L. K. Coles, Oxford St., wife of Oxford’s clerk,
burned.
Bobby Coles, 7, broken leg, broken arm, broken teeth.;
(now home).
Roger Coles, 3, broken leg; (home.)
Mabel Clark, fiancee of Charlie Volker, Harold Wilson’smechanic, burned, cracked ankle, broken arm.
Margaret Start, 13, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Royden G.Start, Thames St. S., burned.
Doreen Uren, 13, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Uren,Charles St. W., burned.
Mrs. Harold (Lorna) Wilson, Oxford St, split toe and
' shock.
A. R. Horton, Ann St., shock, (home.)
All the other Ingersoll casualties are expected home by

Hit By Bolt, Knocked Cold
Finds Kiddie’s Trike Did It
also
DON TO DESCRIBE
HARMSWORTH ON AIR
C. E. Luno, Canterbury St., is
wondering whether it’s safe to evenleave your bed these days.He was pedalling peacefully home
from his job at the Machine Company the other day, when all of asudden he was struck by a bolt of
lightning. At least that’s what hethought it must have been.However, the next thing he knew
was he was at home, nursing a realbump on the back of his head, andfriends were telling him just whathappened.He had been hit by a tricycle!“I was busy looking out for someyoungsters who were running back
and forth across the road,” he related, “and that’s the last thing Iremember." It seems that while hewas looking out for those youngsters, another even smaller one camewhipping down Bond St., and slamright into Mr. Luno.
Out Lika Light
Mr. Luno went down flat and outlike a light.
Nothing happened to the boy, buthe took one look at Mr. Luno’s inertform, figured he’d at least killed
him, and terrified by the power hepossessed, he ran screaming home tomother.
Friends carried Mr. Luno home.And now he’s added trikes toother hazards to look out for.
Plenty of things happened toother Ingersoll residents, too. JackLove went visiting friends on Ox
ford* St., and parked his car outfront A few moments later, he gota call from a friend, Ron Skinner,to the effect he’d better get outside, his car was going down the
hill—by itself—and backward.Jack got outside, but a post beathim to it.
The car backed right into it, or itwould probably have been goingyet.
Then at the corner of Oxford andAnn streets, Dave Campbell of Walker Stores, and Mr. Lyle Mansfield,
Dufferin St., had a bit of a set-to,too. This time it was bike versus car.
It seems Mr. Campbell was driving west on Ann, and just crossing
the intersection, as Mr. Mansfieldwas heading north—on his bicycle—
on Oxford St. Mr. Campbell just hadtime for a friendly wave as Mr.Mansfield went by—or, allegedly
went by.Mr. Campbell heard a crash andgot out to see bits of bicycle on the
back of his car, and Mr. Mansfieldrolling down the road.Mr. Mansfield was not seriously
hurt, but his bicycle needs a majorbefore it takes the road again.
Down on Charles St East DouglasBruce of Ingersoll, was having his
troubles, too.A U.S. car ducked into Rusty'sgrill for a snack, but he ducked a
bit too quick for Douglas, or notquick enough, for Douglas hit him..
And in the brief moment Douglas
had to wonder what had happened,another U. S. car driVert-by Donald
Graham of Detroit wacked into the
Ingersoll car.Total damage—about $500, plusat least tfiree sets of shattered
nerves.
Truck in Creek
And down by the creek just backof the Public Utilities building.
Councillor Leo Ranger was havinghis troubles, too.He was manoeuvring his cartage
truck around the area, when all ofa sudden he found he’d backed intothe creek and his truck's nose was
raised at a most undignified angle.While Councillor Ranger pondered ways and means to get out, someone passed the unkind remark it was
a cheap way to get a car wash, andsomeone else, a safe distance away,chuckled as he asked the councillor
if he was down there to get a drink.All of which highly amusingchatter, did little to get the truckback on its feet. Finally Mr. Ranger
got out Odell and Allen and thetruck came out, little or no damageto it, but no doubt some to Mr.
Ranger’s temper.
In The Garden
“What a Terrible Sight”
First back to Ingersoll after the accident which saw destruction of the 33-foot cruiser exactly one year to the day after
the death of the lady after whom it was named, Mrs. E. A.Wilson, Mr. Horton saidjc "I hope I .never see such a terrible
sight again. Why a l<5t of people weren’t killed or drownedI’ll never know. Luckily, I was standing on the front deok,
and blown clear. First I was on the deck—then in the water.That’s all I know.”
Nobody knows exactly what causejj the explosion, but itis assumed there was loose gasoline and a free spark some
where. Pieces of decking and hatch covers flew 50 feet in theair, and the cabin roof flew off, to land upside down in the
lake. Several people were blown into the water, the others
suddenly found themselves there as the Sarah Maude went
down by the stem. Only four of the group could swim, and
the others owe their lives to them, floating debris, blown out
lifebelt cushions, and the speedy appearance on the scene of
dozens of rescue boats, along with Harold Wilson and Charles
Volker, who roared flp in Miss Canada IV.
It happened a few moments after two p.m., Saturday.
By A. P. BARKER
Well we don’t have to water thelawn, wonderful rains the last fewdays,—now lets cultivate and hold themoisture. Still time to plant a few vegetables for fall.
This is a good time to plant Canterberry Bells and Delphinium seed,and remember that in order to have
bloom next year we must sow seednow.What about your Dahlias? Haveyou them staked up? If you wantlarge bloom just leave one strong stemthey need a lot of water at bloomingtime and also a lot of fertilizer.
The Regal lilies have been wonderful and are almost through for another year. A good way to get Regal
bulbs, is to save three or four seedpods and sow them this fall and inno time you will have small bulbsand will have a lovely lot of blooms.It is surprising the size bloom youwill get from such a small bulb.
Better get your Iris planted if youintend to have a few for next year,
don’t plant them deep, just leave themon top and put the roots well down.Don’t forget to plant a tree today.

went up—or on—at King and Oxford streets. The lights had beensitting there lightless for twomonths, and when finally the necessary 400 feet of cable was found,and the lights started blinking, it

There Was a Dull Boom
Described by spectators and city
newspapers as a heroine of the neartragedy, Mrs. Wilson told PhyllisGriffiths, of the Toronto EveningTelegram, what happened:
We in the Sarah Maude were allset to watch the trials, and Harold hadjust got Miss Canada nicely warmed
up when I noticed the anchor hadn’tcaught and we were drifting out onthe course. I decided we’d have to
move farther in, and pushed the button to start the port engine. It would*n’t start, and I turned it off and push
ed the button to start the starboardengine.“There was a dull boom. For a sec
ond it was hard to realize what hadhappened. I looked up to see the roofof the cabin coming down on me. Iducked. As I ducked, I saw flames
coming up through the bilge,' so Iturned off the one ignition and check-
ed the other. It was off.
“Pieces of the roof and cabin hadfallen on me. Something had my legCinned. I think it was part of the
ack. I got myself free and dived overthe starboard side, through a windowI think. I couldn’t get out of the backof the cabin. It was a shambles.
People Were Moaning
“People were moaning inwater. Those on the fore deckbeen blown right into the lake-----
weren’t hurt, but the ones at the -backweren’t so lucky. That’s where thefire was. Their clothes were on fireand some were hurt.
“The rest of us all grabbed somebody. I got Mrs. Millicent Myles. Shehad a wound in her forehead. butwasn't unconcious, just dazed.. Bythat time Harold had rushed over inMiss Canada, and he and Charlie(Continued on page 8)

Replaces S t Paul’s Organ
Installed By Grandfather
Back in the middle 90’s, Edward
Lye, of Toronto, one of the country’sgreat organ manufacturers, came upto Ingersoll and installed an organ
in St. Paul’s- Presbyterian church. -Today his grandson is installing the
new one. ,His grandson is William Lye, and
he is busy tearing down some of thework of nis grandfather and install
ing the latest model of the musical instrument developed and built originally by the grandfather in a Torontowoodshed. The original organ was
installed at St Paul’s, when Dr. E. R.Hutt was pastor.While the first organ had about
150 pipes, the new one, which will beready August 1, has around 1400. Italso will have chimes. The chimes area legacy of Miss Janet McKellar,
former Ingersoll librarian.Mr. Lye, only 38, and head of the
Lye organ firm which’ was founded in1864, recalled that when his grandfather installed the old organ, therewas a clause which said the churchdidn’t have to pay anything for itfor a year, by which time they could
have decided if it were suitable.But while they have built and installed hundreds of organs, claiming
to have one in every town betweenHamilton and .Windsor, not one ofthe Lyes in the’iirm plays the organ.“No ear for music, I guess,” chuck

48 YEARS AGO
Swat That Peaky Fly *
And Swat Out Disease
There is one war which should never cease—
the war against flies, states a pamphlet issued by
the Edinburgh, Scotland, Public, Health Depart-
"Flies are detestable insects because they have
dirty habits, live on filth, and soil the food we
eat,” the pamphlet states. , "They carry disease
germs from latrines and dbng heaps and excrete
or vomit them on to the food in your larder and
on your table. In this way flies give people typhoid
fever, dysentery and worms, to mention a few
diseases only. They carry the germs of the ‘sum
mer diarrhoea' which is so highly fatal-to infants,
and may play a part in the spread of poliome-
litis.”
The Scottish publication calls for a never-end
ing war on flies, as does Margaret E. Smith in an
article ‘‘The Fly: Enemy of Man” in the magazine
HEALTH, published by the Health League of
Canada. Miss Smith, who is Director of the Nutri
tion Division of the Health League, says that any
liquid or solid food that fly has been in contact
■with is unfit for human consumption.
In regard to the possibility flies have much to
do with the spread of polio, Miss Smith quotes
researchers who have found that milk contamin
ated by flies was either directly or indirectly the
source of the polio virus; that the house fly and
the blow fly carried the virus on both the outside
and inside of their bodies more often than any
other species of insects investigated.
Flies breed at such a pace that it has been
estimated that even if only a small proportion
survive, the offspring of one female house fly will
in seven weeks number 432,00.
So, swat that fly—get rid of him by any means
but get rid of him—and protect your food and
keep your garbage covered. Flies are filthy in-
sect* with dirty habits. Dirt spells disease, so—
banish the dirt and you will banish the dirt disease.
Eating Ourselves Sick?
A London dentist. Dr. St. Clair Wilson, Londonsecondary school dentist, has left for the Arctic
where he will treat Eskimo patients. It i* interesting to observe that the request for Dr. Wilson’sservice* came from the Arctic Diocese of the Ang
lican Church, and that it waa made because it hasbeen found that the modern Eskimo is sufferinggreatly from tooth troubles—since the introduction of the white man’s food. Dr. Wilson will havehis hands full. Almost every plane flying out ofAklavik carries patients to the nearest dentist.The questions that arise are:—What is wrongwith the white man’s food and what was goodabout the natural food of the Eskimo before thewhite man introduced hi* version of food to the
Arctic? The Eskimo in the old days ate raw meat,whale and seal. He ate raw fi»h. He ate polarbear. Those who protested that man cannot live
entirely on meat were refuted by the Canadianexplorer, Stefansson who dwelt there for a year,well and healthy and eating only meat
As for the white man's way of eating there aremany investigators and observed who hold that itit is at the root of all our ills. They argue thatover-concentrated, over-refined foods, faulty mix
tures of foods, over-eating, the hearty use ofsugar, salt and spices, together with lack of exercise needed to insure proper digestion are thecause of many of our diseases. Some people eatto live and others live to eat.It is not a new theory, any more than vegetar
ianism, or whole grain diets, or milk diets are newbut it might be worth more investigation than itis receiving. A research survey into the white
man's way of eating might pay off handsomely. Itmight save future generations a lot of grief andtrouble, as 'well as doctor's bills—London Free

Mr.
Penalty Still Too Low
For The Drinking Driver
A Windsor magistrate, J. A. Hanrahan, recently *
sentenced four drunk drivers to 10 days in jail.
The penalty is usually seven days, but the magis
trate remarked "the shorter term does not appear
to be acting as a deterrent.”
To our mind, 10 days is still far too light for the
offence. It takes some people almost that long
just to sober up. Driving while drinking should
be one of the most serious offences on the’ books
Too many people have died—and are dying'“daily
under the wheels of vehicles driven by people
who have had ‘‘just a few”, and ‘‘certainly not
enough to impair their driving abilities,” to con
sider it just a seven-day or ]0-day offence. Why,
you get a year for stealing a car, and to us that
isn’t nearly the crime., that driving while drinking
is.
When a drinking driver gets loose on the road,
the odds, are all against the unsuspecting, inno
cent pedestrian, home dweller and fellow motor
ist. He’s like lightning—you can’t tell where he’s
going to strike. He doesn't know, and what is
worse, nor do you. He is in exactly the same cate
gory as the madman with a loaded gun, he doesn’t
know what he’s doing and he is liable to do any
thing.
But while the madman may not be respon
sible for his conduct, the drinking driver is.
i The law sholud be stiffened to see that the
drinking driver’s responsibilities are brought
home to him.
Keep Cycles Off Walks
They Are A Menace
It is high time, we think, that the authorities
cracked down on cyclists using the sidewalks of
the town as a thoroughfare. x
Sidewalks are not the place for bicycles, and
so the law decrees, but they seem to be getting
more and more popular, and it’s more than one’s
life is worth to get in the way of some meager
beaver en route to the pool, or elsewhere. To try
and dodge a speeding bicycle, while loaded down
with groceries and assorted* parcels—as some
people have-to do—is no joke; in fact, it’s an im
possibility. And bicycles can cyuse serious injury.
Perhaps there was an excuse for bicycles on
sidewalks a short time ago. The roads were ter
rible, even for automobiles. But now the roads
are as smooth as glass, and a treat for any cyclist.
Back in 1895, West Oxford township council
passed a by-law forbidding bicycle riding on side
walks. This action was taken "as a result of com
plaints from parties living in Beachville who have
had children run over and injured by careless rid
ers. The penalty is limited to $20 or 30 days in
jail.
The dangers of sidewalk riding is still with Us.
A warning to most cyclists might be sufficient
When Will Our Cities Wake Up?
Not one of the larger and fast-growing citiesof Canada could be truthfully described as a beauty spot. When showing them off even the mostardent of local boosters usually wishes he couldblindfold his visitors when traversing certain ill-
planned areas. And by no means are these sectionsconfined to the first built up parts either. Someof the very worst examples arc found along thefringes, where only a few years ago were open
fields, clear streams and woods.But if we are ashamed of such places now, weare going to be doubly ashamed in the future, un
less our city and suburban authorities drasticallychange their ways. For years we have heard agreat deal of talk about town planning, but from
Victoria to St, Johns that is About as far as wehave gone.Some time ago a group of public-spirited citizens
in the Greater Toronto area brought out a planfor future growth covering the next hundredyears. It was termed a "Green Belt” program and
covered an area for 75 miles around the city.Under this plan advantage would be taken of local topography. On the outskirts certain areaswould be definitely reserved for farming, others
for parks and game conservation. Nearer the cityresidential, business and industrial areas would .
be laid out and maintained indefinitely by rigid I,and binding restrictions.With such a plan one would be able to buy
or build with confidence, would know in advancehow his neighborhood would develop. Instead ofthe present hodgepodge of growth, with indus
trial, residential and business property all hopelessly mixed, with through and local traffic snarling each other, there would be definite and plan
ned growth.And what happened?. After a little discussion nothing more has been
heard of the plan in official Toronto circles andlast week "the county authorities voted for rejection. And that’s the sort of treatment suchplans have been getting all over Canada.More than half of the people of Canada live
in large and fast-growing cities. Congested and.uncomfortable as many of them find their livingspace to-day it will be far worse tomorrow unless
they insist on their municipal authorities facingthe growth problem now.—Financial Post.
So-Called Sportsmen
The carefree trigger-happy sportsman wasabout to rid Canada of the beluga, a four-thous
and pound mammal inhabiting Hudson Bay andUngava, when the Federal Government at lastalarmed about the fate of this rare animal intervened. A ban has been placed upon killing thisanimal, except by Indians, Eskimos and Mounties,
until a count can be made to see how many wepossess. The beluga yields both meat and oil andis a source of food and fuel to Eskimos and In
dians.What stirred Federal authorities to action wasthe habit of sportsmen going out in small boatsfrom Churchill, ■ shooting tic friendly and unsuspecting beluga, harpooning it, dragging it asoherpecting beluga, harpooning it, dragging it ashoreand then leaving it to rot on the beach. The animal has no value to the well-heeled sportsman.He just kills it "for fun.” Hudson Bay used to be
so remote from civilization that the sportsmancould do it no harm.' The plane has changed thepicture, and the high powered rifle has altered
balance between hunter and wild life. Unlesssome drastic steps are taken by Government, Canada will in time lose its wild life population.
What is a modern sportsman? If he is simplya man who kills for the fun of it, he is actually ananti-conservationist. Apart from the weasel there
is no wild animal which kills just for fun. Theykill because they have to eat.- It was this wanton,senseless slabghter which finally induced the Ontario Government to protect the moose in Algoma, where every fall there was a steady pro-cessioji of American cars decorated with moose

White-Collar Farming
From Vancouver comes the amazing reportthat farming is becoming a white-collar job. The
news comes from the convention of the Agricultural Institute of Canada, and is based on thework of agricultural scientists who are trans
forming the industry through mechanization andother advanced processes.We are familiar with the advance of mechanization on the prairies, and have heard of huge
farms being run on factory lines by a few menand many machines. But these are largely onecrop farms.There are also stories from the Middle Westof the United States of highly mechanized farmswhich handle livestock as well as varied crops.
The tendency in this direction can be noticed herebut it still has a long way to go before the farmercan really be called a white-collar worker. Physical exertion still plays an Important part in the
life of most of our farmers, and they would regard white collar farming as revolutionary.However it is not impossible that some revolution of thi* sort may be in the cards, and that,when it comes, it will solve many of the currentfarm problems. No doubt it will also create others
for it would involve population changes as wellas the complete renovation of a whole ,way of life.

It can and often has been arguedwhether or not there is such a thingas a Canadian literature. Those who;
say yes point to the long line of ablepoets headed by Pratt, Lampman and.Carman and to the essayists such as,Stephen Leacock.

covered Canada’s natural beauty,sang its praises in verse that has con- isiderable descriptive and melodiccharm. E. J. Pratt, greater than any
of these, has bnly comparatively recently come into his own. His concernwith people as well as nature givesuniversality and he is highly'thoughtof both here and abroad. ThomasHaliburton and Stephen Leacock havesecure places on this continent and inEngland as humorists. Morley Callaghan is probably ‘better known in
the States as a short-story writerthan he is at home. Recent novels byHugh MacLennan, Gabriel Roy and
Gwethalyn Graham have had an encouraging success.But to name over these few only
seems to emphasize the paucity ofthe output as a whole and there isalways the secondary argument aboutwhether Canada can justly claim someof its writers as its own. Leacock and
Fredrick Phillip Grove, for, instance,were not born in this country; therefore, their status as Canadians is
questioned. Charles G. D. Roberts didmuch of his writing in New York andEngland; is that work Canadian? It
has become something of a joke to saythat the greatest “Canadian” novelMaria Chapdelaine was written by a
Frenchman, Louis Hemon. To circumvent all this, it is generally agreedthat the writer whose formative and
most productive years were spent inCanada is a Canadian writer and thatwriting by anyone who meets thosequalifications and dealing with thenative scene and problems is Canadian writing.

A visit of the governor general,I.urd Dufferin, to Ingersoll in August, 1874, is described In a book, “Canada Under the Administration of theEarl of Dufferin,” By George Stewart,
in 1878. The account follows;“After a drive through the neighborhood, the carriages entered the
grove of the Hon. G. Alexander, wherethe Warden and members of theCounty Council of the County of Ox
ford read an address. Luncheon wasthen spread under two large marquees, and after full justice had beendone the viands, a fresh start wasmade and the Town of Ingersollappeared in view shortly before fouro’clock. As the train neared Beech-
ville, h salute of signals shriekedthrough the. air. The preparations atIngersoll for the reception of the Vic
eroy were of an exceedingly lavishdescription. A guard of honor fromthe 22nd Battalion V.M., and a large
force from the fire brigade, and anenormous concourse of people, assembled to receive the visitors. Thearches, quite large in number, wereof very tasteful character, and onein particular attracted much attention.
It consisted of cheese boxes, ornamented with cut cheese, cut hams,flowers etc. A motto, running aroundin a semi-circle, displayed the legend,
“Cheese, the making of Ingersoll.”Another arch was made up of piecesof furniture, while a third was adorned with reaping machines, the manufacture of a private firm in town.
Flags and immense streamers ofbunting were exhibited in everystreet, and other marks of Welcome
were to be seen in all quarters. Anumber of children were gathered atthe Central School grounds, and when
Their Excellencies arrived on thisspot, the pupils rose, en masse, andsang a few verses of the NationalAnthem. At the conclusion of this,there was great cheering, and whenMr. E. H. McSorley, the Mayor, readan address, Lord Dyfferin's reply,
which was humorous and timely, thusbriefly referred to one branch ofIngersoll’s industry:“I am well aware that the cheesefactories in Ingersoll possess a world
wide reputation, and that sometimeseven our neighbours, when they wantto sell their cheese to the best advan
tage, find it to their interest to lettheir customers understand that theyare of the Ingersoll quality.”
The cheese factory was visited, andsome of its products were sampled.One large cheese, upon being cut into,
was found to contain numerous bottles of champagne. The corner stoneof a new school-house was laid by His
Excellency, when the train was reentered, and shortly before 7 o’clockthe cars glided into London station.”

Harriets!!!*. situated 10 milesnorth of Aylmer on Highway 73, isnot an incorporated village, but asearly aa 1667 it boasted the largest
cheese factory in the world.Although it has been remodelledseveral times, the nucleus of that'
original building still stands on thesame site at the southern outskirtsof the hamlet. And until recently itstill produced some of the best in
Canadian cheese, and was stillowned by the Facey family thatbuilt the factory more than three-quarters of a century ago.
Three generations of Faceys operated the cheese factory until it was
sold a few years ago by Eugeneracey to the Borden Company, who
now operate it as a milk receivingstation.
Originally the factory consistedof two buildings, both three-storey
structures. The one housed theactual factory, with an engine-roomand lean-to on the south side, whichwas used as a house, and an equallylarge building for storing and agingthe cheese.The first settlers arrived in the
HarrietsviHe area during the 1830’s,but it was not until 1847, whenCaptain McMillan, a native of Ireland, arrived that the community
was named. Captain McMillan whowas the first postmaster, named thevillage after his wife, Harriet.
HarrietsviHe in the 1860’s wasknown as the military centre ofNorth Dorchester. In 1863 McMillan
formed the HarrietsviHe Militia Co.No. 2 of the Seventh Regiment ofMiddlesex which he commandedduring the Fenian scare. And as a
result of his work the Governmenterected a drill shed and an armouries on Lot 12, Concession 2.McMillan was later chief magis
trate of the hamlet.Among the early settlers of thearea were the Jelly?, and water is
still drawn from the well on thesouthwest corner of the intersectionwhich once served an hotel operated

Cheque Frauds
Said Increasing
If you try to cash' a cheque at abank or retail store, where your not
well known, don’t .get sore if the banker or storekeeper asks for identification, perhaps refuses to accept the
cheque, writes D. G. Maclean in theFinancial Post.
So many cheque frauds are being
attempted just now, prudent peoplewon’t take a chance. Retail merchants
are specially named as victims.
Forged payee signatures and raisedfigures are the most common formof cheque frauds, but they also include forged cheques drawn on accounts of well-known firms and cheques
against non-existent or inadequateaccounts.
Government cheques, however,fseem
to be the class of cheque most favoredby these crooks. One factor lies in themillions of cheques issued for familyallowances, war service pensions, re
turn of compulsory savings, and income tax refunds. The last namedfigure is* especially prominent in cheque frauds, at present.

There wasn’t aay' screaming, just moaning, _and youcould understand that. Everybodykept their heads marvellously, eventhe children. “Everybody went
after their own. Jerry Richardsongot his wife and little girl, I think AlHorton got to Bobby Coles. He’s only
seven, and he was unconcious. Hisleg is broken. (“His arm, too, mummy,” put in Mrs. Wilson’s seven-year,
old daughter Launi.)“Jock Carroll got Joy Brown out,and while I was towing Mr*. Myles
to one of the boats I saw young Dor-a lifeguard cushion over to her.een Uren was having trouble. I pushedIt was a frantic few minute*. Luckysome other boats had only been abouta hundred yards away and were therefast. "Finally there didn’t seem to
be anybody left in the water, and wechecked over and decided everybodywas taken care of. But then after the
boats had started for GravenhurstSanitarium, somebody said RogerColes w as missing. He wasn t but we
had a bad time till we found out forsure. Then they took all but four ofus to Bracebridge hospital, and there
was nothing more to do—except bethankful it was no worse. It was reallya miracle nobody drowned because
there were a lot of non-swimmers in
the boat.“I didn’t even know that I wan hurttill the others had gone to hospital.Then I stood up and there was aCuddle of blood under my foot. The
ig toe on my left foot had beenII crushed'by something.I “Its almost a nightmare. I was the
- only one in the cabin, and for a minuteI didn’t think I would ever get out.It was a closed cabin, but the doors
£ were open. There is an exhaust fan,| but I hadn’t turned it on because II didh’t think it was necessary. If I
had turned it on, possibly the thingmight never have happened. I don’tknow. It’s not an ordinary procedure
to turn it on. In fact most boats aren’tequipped with it. but Harold’s father,(E. A. Wilson) had it put on because
of the explosion of his boat four yearsago when he was seriously injured.
W»i Running Perfectly
The Sarah Maude had been runningwell. We had come down in her fromour cottage to Gravenhurst, about 16miles, Saturday morning. But some-" how gas got into the bilge—it would
only take a little—and vaporized.Then when I started the engine it
blew.”Harold said they were planning togive Miss Canada IV a 50-mile trialthat afternoon. They were laying outa course, doing only about five milesan hour, when the explosion occurred,
he said, adding:“I just saw a flash and then thepieces fly. All I thought of was to get
there as fast as I could. We were onlyhalf a mile away and we were therein 20 seconds.“I was in the water before Lornagot out of the boat The roof camedown on her, and she had quite atime getting out. If she hadn’t
ducked....“I helped her with one woman, and
then pulled out two or three more/1don’t know who they were, CharlieVolker, my mechanic, jumped in whenI did and he helped. So did all theothers who could swim. It was a goodthing there were things for thosewho couldn’t swim to cling to—life
belts, and cushions and wreckage. Allthe same it was miraculous that wewere able to get them all out. The
boat just went to pieces.“There must have been some leak,just like you might have in your car.
But in a car if gasoline leaks it canrun away. In a boat there’s no placefor it to go. The boat was in perfect
shape. I checked her over myself twodays ago.
Found Pay Envelope
“Just to make sure nobody wastrapped, I went under water to getinto the cabin. There wasn’t anyone,
but I got out a club bag full of clothesbelonging to the Rolls-Royce man.Good thing I did, too, because he had
nothing to go back to Montreal in buta pair of shorts much more disreputable than mine. And floating aroundin the cabin I found my week’s paystill in the envelope. I figured I mightas well have it as anybody else.“There was lots of shouting and
yelling, but no panic. The childrenwere wonderful. And there wasn’t as
much yelling as you’d have expected.

One of the first rescue boats -atthe'scene was that of W. J. Wardof Weston. In it was Dr. C. E. Lin-
dcnfield, resident sungeon of Mus-koka hospital, who gave first aid onthe spot .after saving four woman
and three children.“I remember those Coles children”, the doctor added. “Poor Bobby
sat in the boat, mumbling about hisarm being sore. But it was his legthat was broken, not his arm. We
didn’t know that until he reachedthe hospital. There we also foundthat Roger had a fractured leg. He
was good stuff. In the boat hewhimpered for a moment, but hedidn't cry. And remember, he’s onlythree.
"I spoke to him and he told me,“It did boom.” That's all Tie wouldsay."
“It’s a good things those kapokcushions were aboard,” the doctorconcluded, “for all that was left ofthe boat was a lot of little boards.”
The sudden sinking, so far as E.A. Wilson was concerned, was ablessing in disguise. It preventedfire reaching the gasoline tanks.
The fact the roof was blown off wasalso a blessing, he suggested, because many would undoubtedlyhave been trapped under it Mr.
Wilson, incidentally, wasn’t at thescene when the explosion occurred.Accompanied by L. K. Coles, hehad gone back to Gravenhurst topick up some men to watch thespeed trials. He met the first rescue

“A* survivors’ stories were fittedtogether, there emerged a pictureof bravery and readiness of menand women to suffer that othersmight be rescued. Instances of gallantry studded the accounts, likethat of badly-hurt Mrs. Meatha
Richardson, who held her granddaughter Linda, above water untilher father could reach them. And
that of Al Horton who forgot pain-tortured ribs to keep seven-year-oldBobby Coles from drowning. Or that
of Mrs. Harold Wilson who clung toMrs. Millicent Myles and sank beneath the surface at least once.”
