A model A Ford, owned by John E. Boudreault of Lower Montague was struck here today by a gravel truck owned by Mr. Fred Ross of St. Peters. The accident took place at the intersection of Main Street and MacDonald Avenue. over which gravel trucks are hauling gravel from the Kilmuir pit to the Georgetown road.

Fortunately the car was stopped before it passed over Mrs Boudreault. She was taken to a nearby house suffering from bruises on the temples and body. and shock.

The other three children in the back seat and Mr. Boudreault suf- fered no injuries, The truck had the right end of the bumper broken off. The car was struck on the rear wheel, dislocating the drive shalt. differential. and splitting open the transmission. Mr. Ross suffered no injuries. The Montague R. C. M.P are investigating the accident.

Tourist traffic to Prince Edward island this year has surpassed all previous records with an increase of more than 2,200 incoming cars registered over 1949 at Borden in the past six weeks. which includ- es the period when two fer- rles have been in operation. Cor- responding increases are reported for ,the Wood Islands-Cariboo, N. S. ferry service and for bus and air operations to the Province.

From January 1. to July 28," 1950 a total of 15,148 vehicles crossed by ferry from Cape Tormentine to Borden. During the same period last year only 11,841 vehicles were ferried to the Island.

Heavier traffic during the win- ter months is partly accounted for by the mild winter weather which resulted in more open roads. But the inauguration of a two-ferry service during the summer months thisvyear has been a boon to trav- ellers wlshing to visit Prince Ed- ward Island.
