Mix-William McDonald, Read Supâ€" erintendent for Vaughan Township had a narrow escape on Wednesday afternoon when the large five ton Township truck which he was. driging collided with a train here. The truck was coming loaded from the gravel pit and at the railway crossing before the highway was reached, the accidâ€" ent took place. The driver saw the itrain coming and on the slight grade endeavoured to stop the heavy truck and almost succeeded. The truck was travelling at a very slow rate of speed when it crashed into the coal tender of the train which swung the motor vehicle sidewaysresulting in consid- erable damage. Mr. McDonald the driVer miraculously escaped without serious injury. We are glad to note that Mr. Neil Me‘loy and Mr. Carl Saigeon capturâ€" ed the secord prize in a large fiequ of confenders in the Horseshoe Pitching contest at the Lennox picnic on Mon- day. Plans are now completed for the 2111- J nual Field Day and Old Boys Reunion ‘ to be held here on Saturday, August 18. The proceeds of the day will'be’ used in the purchase of an athletic grounds for the community and it is hoped that there will be a large crowd bn hand to ensure the success of the' day.

Alfalfa crops are not what they have been some years but some fair yields have been reported. There have been some com- plaints of second growth and in many cases the wheat crop has not been up to expectations. There were many good fields in Vaughan however and The Liberal received this week an ex- cellent sample of wheat from J.W. Bone, of the third concession of Vaug- han which was a good type of seed iand was harvested in good conditi- Last week our rose garden was at the height of its beauty, when the climbing roses, white, pink and' dark red were in bloom. The heavy rains spoil them badly, but there will still be a few nice blooms from time to time for those who wish to see them. The three peonies donated by H.R.H. the Prince of Wales have made rapid growth and look to be in fair conditâ€" ion to stand the winter. Civic Holiday was not a very pleas- ant one for pleasure seekers, owing to recent heavy rains. The skies re- mained dull all day. The traffic on the highways was very heavy and was marred by two accidents, one on the Markhamâ€"Pickering townline and the other near the seventh where a coupe took a noseâ€"dive into the ditch. Sev- eral people required the doctors care. A gravel truck was upset in the dit- ch and badly damaged on the fourth concession south of here on Wednes- day morning. The driver of the/truck which it is understood belonged to Mr Lockyer of Lansing, was following Mr. J.H. Downey south on the fourth. Mr. Downey swerved apparently to make the turn into his own lane which was _mistaken by the driver of the second truck as a turn to allow pass. When the mistake was evident he took the ditch to avert a crash and turning over a couple of times badly damaged the truck but the driver escaped with minor injuries. The Christian Endeavor society of St Andrew’s Presbyterian church held their August meeting Sunday evening. Besides the usual program they were addressed by MiSS Selkirk a student missionary on the subject. “Why Mis- sions have been a failure.” She also had with her a number of curios from India, which were passed around and examined with much interest and amusement. Another pleasing feature was a duet by Mrs. Herb Thomas and held by the Ladies of St. Mary’s (An- jglican) church, in the Church rooms.
