Auto. Collide

A headon collision no Main street
took place on Thursday, when the auto
owned and operated by Archie Benoit
and a motorcycle met in collision. Due
10 the presence Of two machines park
ed on either side OF the street, there
was only one lane available for traffic.
The motorcycle driver and passenger
were thrown considerable distance
but received only minor scratches and
bruises. The bumper on the auto saw
ed them 20 a certain extent. The mo-
torcycle received the most damage,
the front wheel being twisted out Of
shape. This is the first accident to
happen in that locality, but il is
somewhat Of wonder that more ac-
eidents do not take place. considering
the narrow street and the manner Of
parking machines.
