Perhaps the most startling discov-
cry during the three day survey by
Miss Catherine Mckay at the school
was the finding of As goiter cases-all
however, of mild degree, and which
can be easily checked if given at
tention.

The basket social, party and dance

A runaway truck loaded with
troll of the driver Sunday, while ap-
preaching Kettle river down the hill
between here and Sandstone and
tipped over at the other end of the
bridge Although it has not been
learned at this time who the occu-
pants Of the truck were, it neverthe-
less was miraculous escape
from going over the side of the
bridge. The driver of the truck was
uninjured but another man upon see
ing what was about to happen,
jumped from the racing machine on
the east end of the bridge and re-
rceived broken hip. 1t is presumed
that the driver attempted to shift
gears while going down the hill and
could not get it into gear again.
Among the items that were up for
discussion at the baseball meeting
Thursday evening, particular attention
and interest centered on the necessity
of securing possession of suitable
tract of land for the ball diamond.
The present location is very good but
it would be folly to spend much money
on same unless the tract was pur-
chased either by the team or the viii
lage so that it could be permanently
designated as a Base Ball Park. The
present "grandstand" is sadly in need
of replacement, but again, it would
not be wise to put up good grand
stand unless the land was owned by
the village or by the team. 1t was
pointed out at the meeting that other
villages have purchased land for
baseball park purposes and in this
regard the Askov team respectfully
presents a similar thought for local
discussion and eventual consideration.
