Reconstruct Accident
An official reconstruction of the
accident, made by officers from the
offices of the state traffic patrol
and the district attorney, is as fol-
lows: A large truck hauling 63 cans
of milk for the Arrowhead Creamery,
driven by M. B. Griffin, FL Centre,
while travelling east on the San Di-
ego highway, attempted to pass a
Dodge ear. travelling in the same di-
rection. When the driver saw that
he COULD not pass the Dodge and at
the same time avoid hitting Ford
car which was coming from the OPP
posite direction, he suddenly iamm-
ed on his brakes to drop back of
the Dodge ear again. At this june
ture, according to statement Grif-
fin is alleged to have made to one
of the investigators, the brakes on
his truck locked, and threw the
heavy ear across the road on the
left hand side.
lhe Livingston ear at this time
was coming west in back of the
Ford. When its driver saw that a
crash between this Ford and the
truck was inevitable, he swung to
the right. off the highway and took
to the ditch right at the point to-
ward which the truck, its brakes
still locked. was plunging. The heavy
machine did not stop in it's wild
rush. but smashed right in to the
ditched Studebaker, wrecking it
completely and injuring its oecu-
pants.
Both the Dodge and Ford ears
which played leading parts in the
near tragedy had left the scene be-
fore the official investigators ar
rived and these Officers wish very
much to get in touch with the occu,
pants of these ears in order to dis
cover if possible more details about
the crash. While officers are still
continuing their investigations, no
blame for the accident has
leen placed and the driver of the
truck was not held by the police.

The Rev. Ubald F. Simoneau, a
curate, heard a cry of "fire" while
a playlet was being presented in
the parish hall. Going to the rear
door he discovered that the spread
jng wall of flame was only a few
feet from the structure.
''There's a fire up the street." he
told the children quietly. 'lf you
want to go see it, you'll have to
march out ip orderly fashion,"
Twelve nuns assisted him in form
ing the children into lines, and the
boys and girls marched quietly out
the front door only a moment before
the fire attacked the rear of the ed
ifice

of the church, was painfully injured

NeU Zealand Movie
Bars Y. s. Features

A report received from U. s..
Trade Commissioner Julian B.
Foster, Wellington. New Zealand,
states that an innovation for
Aukland is a talking picture the
ater which will screen nothing
but British films.
The idea emanates from Mrs
Henry Hayward, wife of one of
New zealand's leading picture the
ater proprietors, who decided
to run the Grand Theater in
Queen Street. Auckland, as a
British picture house as from
May "a, 1880.
There are AZ picture theaters
in Auckland and Mrs. Hayward
is of the opinion that with such
a large population t209, ,8OO there
should be room for at least one
house devoted exclusively to Brit
ish pictures.
The supply of British films is
scarcely sufficient to provide
weekly changes. so the manage
ment has decided that when nee
essary programs will run longer
than week. 1t is anticipated
that there will be no difficulty
in this respect as the theater is
small one.

"You will probably find more va
ried tastes in a crowd Of young
people than anywhere else, and
their opinions, which are strongly
held and freely given, are 10 times
more slperlative or 10 times
harsher than q more mature
critics would be. Youth seems to
do things in big way.
Coming right down to brass
'tacks and such, it is safe to say
that good comedies as q whole 60
over big with us. (Yes, I'm one Of
'em.) Some may find fault with
plot, as in other 'Super-produc-
tions,' some with acting, but aside
from this, %. X Mystery, the
spookier the better, is about as
popular. Great acting, such as
that Of George Arliss in the ire
mendous 'Disraeli,' is universally
appreciated. John Barrymore, in
such marvellous portrayals as the
soliloquy in The Show Of Shows
and General Crack is hugely
thrilling. Pathos is liked: deep
tragedy sometimes goes over oul
heads and often grips US. Girls
are far more ready to cry at q pic
ture than boys. Stupendous pro
ductions. such as 'Noah's Ark,
'Ben-Hur,' The Ten Command
ments and King of Kings arC
considered 'keen!' Obscenity, sub
tie or clever or gross, may brint
outlaws, but is not generally fa
vored, especially among girls
(This is optimism.) But youth Is
just as tired of silly 'theme-song
productions as any adult, maybe
more so. Give us clean, true-to
life dramas and good fun, all with
dash of romanticisrn to make u!
forget report cards or spur us on
as you will"
