the wm and buy foreign year of crease o intercha per cen Alfred Terrill, the son, who was driving the car, was an insurance in- spector for the Sun Life of Canada. He was about 40 years of age. A particularly sad aspect of the tragedy is that he leaves a wife and little child. James Terrill, his father, the other victim, was a widower, 84 years of age. Mr. Terrill, Sr., lived with his son in a house on Commercial Street, Milton. . e No Harvesters i0 be Brought from Britain The bodies of father and son were picked up 50 feet farther on at the bottom of_ a steep embankment. The car wa§ a total wreck, and the bodies of the victims were badly mangled, their faces being mutilath almost beyond recognition. As Mr. Terrill, still travelling at 15 miles an hour, went to cross be- hind the westbound train his car was struck. by the oncoming eastbound ex- press and hurled about 50 feet. According to Oliver.Pearson, who witnessed the accident from the tower at the C.N.R. and C.P.R. diamond about 150 yards west of the crossing, the unfortunate men were coming east toward Milton in a roadster at about 15‘ miles an hour. As the car apâ€" proached the crossing, which is double- tracked, the westbound C.P.R. exâ€" press, éinown as “The Canadian," went by, evidently cutting ofi’ the sight of the eastbound train. Milton, July 31.â€"In the third fatal level crossing accident in Central On- tario in three days Alfred H. Terrill and his aged father, James N. Terrill, were instantly killed at Anderson’s crossing on the Second Line, Trafal- gar, west of Milton, about 7.35 o'clock this evening when the automobile in which they were riding was struck by an V eastbound Canadian Pacific passenger train.

A despatch from Ottawa says:â€" Some ‘measure of Federal pensions for aged poor is favored in a major- ity of the replies received from muni-' cipalities to a circular letter issued by the Parliamentary Committee on Old Age Pensions during the recent ses- sion. This is revealed in a summary published in the current Labor Ga-' zette, which tabulates about forty re- plies received to the circular-letter which was sent out to 135 municipal- ities in the Dominion. Of these only about five are against the proposal of Federal old age pensions. Most of those replying have already extended some measure of‘relief to poor aged during the past few years, and ap- prove the idea of an organized and permanent system under Federal control. ’John Crosbie, Minister of Finance for iNewfoundland, in theannual budget statement presentedto the Legisla- ture.

On both the cast and west coasts large catches are secured. On the east coast Nova Scotia last year took 8,256 tons, New BrunsWick 12,- 166 tons, Prince Edward Island 2,554 tons, and Quebec 8,245 tons. British Columbia produ:ed 65,000 tons. The British G)lumbia coastal waters are, however, Canada’s greatest her- |ring fishery. They are found along l almost the entire length of the coast, [but particularly around Vancouver .Island they are very plentiful.

This is, an annual award mader by the mént and at present some 30 have been sent to Europe. of $1,620,449, or cent. per pound. The Orient is the chief market for herring, which, to meet this demand, are dry salted only. Last year fifty thousand tons were'put up in this manner for China and Japan. This 50,000 tons represented approximately 700,000,000 fish. It is claimed by fish- grmen that the supply of herring _is ample and that there is no likelihood of depletion due to the large takings. Island they are very plentiful. A large packing industry has been built up for what is known as “Scotch cured" herring, _which consists of cleaning, salting and packing the fish in barrels. Six thousand barrels of this pack were put up in British Col- umbia last year.
