THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDN-ESDAY, APRIL 8, 1931 Shot In Head James Harbottle of the third line, Euphrasia, met with a painful acci- dent and narrow escape from death on Monday, when a 25-calibre rifle ball, fired by a neighbor, Mr. John Welsh, struck him in the forehead and lodged just inside the skull, where it remained. Mr. Harbottle was ta- ken to Owen Sound, where the bullet was extracted without much difficulty and th^ patient will be around again in a few days. It is said that Mr. Welsh was firing at a bird, when the bullet missed the mark and travelled a distance of 750 yards before it hit Mr. Harbott.tc. Officials who investigated believe it to have been purely accidental, and so far as they are concerned the inn- dent is closed. Highway Opened Provincial Highway No. 10 is now opened for motor traffic again. This was accomplished by the Provincial snow plow on Sunday. Friday after- noon the plow opened the road as far as Inistioge and it took two full days to reach the Dundalk from there. J As one travelled along the road on Monday there were high walls of snow on each side of the car six to eight feet high. Another plow had come north from Shelbume and they met at the Dundalk corner.

Clerk of Session For 32 Years In connection with the regular quarterly meeting of the Session o-f St. John's United Church, preceeding the Preparatory Service Thursday afternoon last, Mr. T. R. McKenzie, honored Clerk of the Session, received expressions of congratulation and fel- icitation on the long record he has achieved as Elder and Clerk of the Session. Mr. McKenzie has held the office of Elder for thirty-eight years and fcr the last thirty-two years has had the unique distinction of being Clerk of the Session continuously, serving in the Presbyterian congregation be- fore Union and in the United congre- gation since that time. The Minister made special mention of the scrupu- lous care and neatness with which the minutes have been recorded, not- ing that few records presented to the Presbytery for examination are so splendidly kept. Mr. McKenzie keeps faith in this with an honored tradition and in his own person worthily maintains the reputation for reverence and devotion which holders of his office in the days gone by have unpretentiously built up. The hope was warmly express- ed that he woud be blessed with health and strength to have for many more years to come the joy which such service affords. Local and Persona! Mrs. C. J.

Changes Taking effect April 26th, a change in routing will be made for C. P. R. trains running between Toronto anil Owen Sound. The new routing will be by way of Brampton and will connect up with the main line at Orangeville and travelling time between Toronto and Chven Sound will be practically the same. A despatch from Bolton intimates that the passenger service between that place and Orangeville will be dis- continued, cutting off Caledon and Mono Road. A mixed train will be run three times a week to accomodate passengers. On the Teeswoter line or.e of the two passenger trains will be discon- tinued. The train will run from Tees- water to Orangeville in the morning and return at night, if present ar- rangements are carried out. On the Saugeen line no chancre is anticipated, except that the train usually referred to as the "peanut." rurninar from Saugeen to Owen Soutu; each evening will be cancelled. These char.co? have been under con- sideration By the railway officials for some time, but there have been a number of difficulties to overcome be- fore definite plans could be put into cfi'ect. The new schedule, to take il'.iJt April 2*3th, is understood to contain these changes. Whether this step in economy will be in effect for winter schedule is not known. Rumors are also in the air of cut- ting down the number of extra gangs this summei' To take effect April 1st the number of section hands in each section has to be limited to two mer.. the foreman and an assistant. A num- ber of stations which have not been paying their way may be closed, too, we understand.
