VOL. 62; NO. 50 FLESHERTON, ONT., WEDNESDAY, MAY 12, 1943 W. H. Thurston & Son, Publishers Artemesia Over in Loan As Canada's Fourth Victory Loan approaches the final stages in Grey County, some municipalities are going to have to make unusual ef- forts if their individual quotas are to be obtained. Bolstered by the splendid showing of Hanover, and the townships in the south-west of the County, as well as by exceptional returns from the south-east of the County, and big special names sub- scriptions, Grey County stands well UP in the Ontario totals. The "last million," as far Grey County la concerned, will be the hard one. During the past few days, the townships of Artemesia and Ben- tinck, as well as the Village of Dun- dalk, have joined the groiao which already v.-as over the top, including Proton, North Euphrasia, Hanover, Flesherton, Normaniby and Neustadt. Artemesia had a very heavy quota of $95,000, and the Township of Ben- tinck itself bought $5,000 to swell the total of that municipality. Pro- ton, which exceeded its original ob- jective of $40,000, has sales of $56,- 000 or more, to far exceed even the new quota of $50,000 which was assumed. Arteroesia has again done splend- idly in the Victory Loan and congrat- ulations should be extended to the canvassers: Geo. McTavish, J. A Richards and Edgar Betts. What is done in the next few da., will determine the success or failure of Grey County's portion of the Victory Loan. Those who have been delaying purchasing are being urgeo to do so at nce, and those who have already bought are being asked to make a further purchase.

JACKSON STEWART HONORED AT CEYLON (By Ceylon Renorter) i Ceylon friends and neighbors as- Inquest Keily.Death The inquest into the death of Phil- lip Kelly, which occurred north of Markdale on Mondav night of last week, was held in Markdale Friday fternoon. The jury brought in the erdict that the fact that there was o tail light on Harold Fawcett's ear ,-as a contributory factor in the ^eath of Kelly. Dr. R. L. Carefoot, Toroner, presided, and J. F. P. Birnie, C.C., County Crown Attorney, exam- ned the witnesses. Considerable disagreement with the finding of the jury is felt in many >laces, as the mention of Fawcett's lainu in regard to the accident places wo much of the responsibility on his shoulders, more than he has a right o bear. The absence of a light on he ear should not have made very much difference to the driver of the Marshal! car from seeing the un- ighted car ahead of it. even though visibility was poor. If visibility waa as bad as stated then the Marshall car should not have been travelling as fast as it was, and the car was not under control. If the Fawcett ear had not stopped when signalled lie would not have been involved in the accident. The driver of the first car which was in difficulties was not even considered as being a contribu- tory factor in the accident. A neutral Coroner's jury might also have con- sidered further evidence. Decisions as made above make one seriously consider allowing the other motorist to work out his own salvation when in difficulties on the road, as the Good Samaritan may be the one o the wrong side of the fence.
