Colorful Is Hight!
Public reaction to the colored sketch
of the new District High School now
reposing in the window of station
CKNX has been somewhat mixed, al
though we have heard no outright
complaints to date. Biggest surprise
was the color scheme, which comes
as a bit of a shock after the solid
monotone jobs, everybody’s been used
to.
According to the architects color is
the coming thing in architecture, in
fact it has already come in the more
architecturally-advanced countries of
EJurope, In Canada it’s something new,
Color has previously been employed
to a greater extent in office buildings
and other modernistic structures, but
it’s use in schools hasn’t been very
extensive so far,
At the high school board meeting
at which the picture was unvejled,
members of the board were a bit
startled at first. But later they seemed*
to get Used to the idea, after they’d
had the picture in Cropt pf them for
a while. After Mr. Kyles, the archi
tect had told them that the building
wasn’t really very revolutionary,
everybody seemed to feel a bit better
about it,
Opinion around town appears to be
favorable and the picture in the
CKNX window is attracting a lot of
attention,
We’ll bet Wingham will be the^alk
of the country when the school is
built, '

about it.

Nothing’s definitely settled on the
plays to be done, but we understand
that the C.Y.O. will be doing a piece
called “Mrs, O’Leary’s Cow", A pos

Candlesticks", while the Kinettes are
contemplating a thing called "Sunday
Costs Five Pesos".
Don’t know what any of them are
all about, but they sound interesting,

Mournful Wliistle
Between periods at the hockey game
on Saturday night, the Hot Stove
league was in session in the office as
usual.
Father Durand was kidding Johnny
Brent, who helped referee the game,
about the number "of times he blew
•his whistle. "Sounded like there was
a peanut vendor on the ice", he said.
“Well”, said Johnny, who had taken
razzing from the audience, “There
were quite a few nuts in the crowd.”

TV Problems
TV reception provides, a never-fail-
i ing source of conversational matter
at the Brunswick coffee club these
days. It seems to be what you might
call spotty.
According’to the talk, Lloyd Carter
up in Pleasant Valley gets the To
ronto channel fine, while on every
body else’s set it isn’t worth a darn.
Reception varies from street to street,
apparently.
The TV set in the Legion Home
seems to be bringing in about as much
as any in town, probably due to its
location up on the hill and the height
of its antenna.

TALK OF THE TOWN—Some fel
low from out of town is reported to
be going the rounds offering ;a TV
set installed for $25 down. There must
be a catch .... All this talk about
celebrating the ' town's anniversary
has brought up the question of wheth
er a paid promoter should be hired
to do the job. A. H. Wilford has been
mentioned as'a possibility .... Ru
mors that Walker Stores were going
to be replaced by a supermarket or
something don’t appear to have much
basis in fact .... Cal Burke, watch
ing a motorist sit helpless on the ice
at the curb in front of station CKNX
with his wheels spinning, said, "That
guy must be from Toronto”. Finally,
after detailed instructions, the motor
ist backed up onto the ’dry pavement,
and pulled away without' difficulty

CRITICIZE REMOVAL,
The Hullett Boundary Forum has
expressed discontent with the propos
ed plan of County Council to demolish
the almost century-old court house
in Goderich and replace it with a mo-
dem building on the same site,
They suggest, instead that this his«
tpric old building should be used for
4. county museum. Other suggestions
were that the building could be used
as a County Industrial Corporation
office, or a tourist Information booth.
LIMIT PHONE CALLS
Women who talk all day can really

have to, Mornington Township women
have proved it,

ing, officials expressed delight at the
plan’s success.
Operators, too, report they're pleas
ed with the success of the rule. They
add, however, that "there are always
some who complain”.

A COCK, scratching the ground for something to
eat, turned up a Jewel that had by chance been
dropped there. “Ho!” saidjie, “a fine thing you‘are, no
doubt, and, had your owner found you, great WQuld
his joy have been. But for me I give me a single grain
of corn before all the jewels in the world.”

things you really need, than to have luxuries.
