An article which in the London
Free Press on Tuesday morning was
headed ’‘School Initation at Wingham
brings protest to Board” was written
-by someone with an enlarged imagin
ation or one who had little regard for
what is authentic. The writer of the
•article evidently tried to make a
mountain out of a mole hill but when
he was confronted by Principal Flail
•retracted the damaging statements
.and apologized,
Initiations have been going on for
some years by the local students and
in the main they have created a lot
of fun and school spirit and the first
form pupils after the initation was
held this year all agreed that they
were in favor of the continuance of
same.
The Free Press article charged that
protests had been made to the board
which is not true. It also stated that
pupils were made to eat common
■earth worms'washed down with a lib
eral dose of salts. Nothing could be
further from the true facts. .Since
when did spagetti become earth
worms?
No parade of the pupils in their in
itation garb was held down-town and
the sheep dip has not been part of fun
for three years.
Anybody who had experienced the
initations at the local high school, we
have talked to many students about
this, knows that it is all done in the
spirit of fun and when we take the
humour of the world away in these
•days and generations we have not
much left.

Corcoran, regarded as one of this
continent’s outstanding sports pro
moters, is at present working on the
program and will be able to announce
the complete line-up in next week’s
issue of this paper.
“I can’t tell you right now which
wrestlers I can get” said Corcoran
yesterday afternoon, “but I give you
my word they will be main bout stars
whom I have featured at my big
shows in Maple Leaf Gardens, Tor
onto. And that means they will be
men capable of stepping into, main
bouts any place in America for Tor
onto has the reputation of being sec
ond to none in wrestling.”
That guarantee adds interest to the
announcement of the show for there
are few promoters who know wrest
lers or how to match them as well
as does Corcoran. He has been in
sports promotion for seventeen years,
being in boxing before entering the
wrestling field.
Corcoran (fitses only heavyweights so
the men who appear here will be well
over 200 pounds in weight. Several
stars are making the trip east from
California and it may be that they
will be available for the show here.
