Mr. Noe, who has been with the
IVaufart Fisheries for the past
1 w i nt v-three years, .even hack
when it was the Taylor Creek Fish
and Oil Company, seemed in good
condition when interviewed this
morning. The radiator of his car
was seriously dented and the steer
ing wheel broken. H j received su
perficial injuries in the chest and
one arm which he attributes to the
broken wheel and was also injur
ed in one leg.
From the story as given to this
office, the cause seems to have
been due to improper lighting on
one or both cars and perhaps oili
er factors. It will be a week or so,
according to Coroner James, be
fore an inquest can be held. Inves
tigation of the accident was made
by I'atrollman Craig and Deputy

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye

before his presence with singing. Know
ye that the Lord he is God; it is he that hath
made us, and not we ourselves: we are his
people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter
into his gates with thanksgiving and into his
courts with praise: be thankful unto him,
and bless his name. For the Lord is good,
his mercy is everlasting; and his truth

j in the community wboni the com
I mittee has reason to feel -voub'
like to have a part in the work.
With reference to the educa
tional ell'ort which has always been
a big part of the voile of the or
ganization, someone has said,
"Cbrismas S'- . build a guaid rail
around the top of a precipice in
stead of equipping amoulances to
be rushed to the foot of a chasm
to pick up the fallen victims." This
preventative work cannot touch
one unknown family in the com
munity without offering protec
tion to everyone in it, and, as is
true of many other things today,
present crowded conditions make
the work assume new importance.
Mr. Stanley Woodland, Presi
dent of the local Tuberculosis As
sociation, and Mrs. Martha Loft'm,
Seal Sale Chairman, are both urg
ing people of the community to
buy and use the stamps so that a
stream of TB-sealed mail will flow
through the Post Offices of the
County showing our whole heart
ed participation in this effort to
raise 1 200 in the County, $loU,
000 in the State, and $1 1,000,000
in the Nation for thb work.
