W.D.H.S. Girls’ Basketball
The odds were heavy that it couldn’t
happen, but it did. The Wingham
girls challenged the Clinton girls’
basketball team to a tussle last Tues
day, February 9.
The Clinton girls had already visited
Goderich and Seaforth and had come
out victorious.
The Wingham girls had played both
Goderich and Seaforth but • ended
up holding up the bottom end.
Both teams were well-matched and
I think that this was one of the calm-
games that I saw, X figured the play
ers were very lucky tQ come put alive.
Some of the Wingham girls recog
nized a few of the Clinton veterans
and here and there one could see
players from opposite teams taking
time out for a chat. On the whole,
true school sportsmanship was shown
throughout the game.
The Wingham girls seemed to be
always one step ahead of the Clinton
lassies, but nevertheless the Clinton
girls played a very hard game.
Now that our girls have found the
path that leads to victory we hope
that they won’t be wanderers but will
stick right to it,

W.D.H.S. Boys’ Basketball
The junior and senior boys’ teams
of W.D.H.S. experienced a dark day
on Tuesday, February 9th, when they
met the boys’ basketball teams of the
Clinton Collegiate Institute, Truly the
scores of both games for us were al
most humiliating. Nevertheless we
entertain hopes of triumphs before
the season closes.
First, the junior boys’ game wound
up with a victory for Clinton 56-16,
a score which, compared with that
of the senior game, is not quite so
bad as one would be led to believe.
The principal scores for Clinton were
K. Porter with 17, R. McKay with 10
and B. Thomason with 6 points. The
remaining 23 points were divided
among G. Telford, D. Snell and B.
Sharkey, each with 4 points; P. Jones
and K. Farquison each with 3 points;
H. Calquhoun and G. McDonald with
2 points each and B. Galbraith scored
the remaining point.
For Wingham, Jim Campbell scored
5 points, Doug Murray, 7 points, Frank
Houghton, 2
ington and
point each.

aster for W.D.H.S. The score was

FINANCES
Most people in business, whether
they be shop-keepers, professional
men,-salesmen or farmers, realize that
you can’t operate a business properly
without a sensible and sound finan
cing system, You have to have money,
to make money, to be able to take
advantage of the opportunities that
arise. If you haven’t some capital to
run a business and you have to oper
ate on borrowed funds, often times
the interest rates can be more than
your return. This is especially so in
farming where there is an increasing
amount of money invested. It used
to be that the average 100 acre farm
could be bought for five or six thou
sand dollars, you could equip it with
a full line of implements and four
horses for less than the price of to
day’s tractor, and you could buy a
whole string of milk cows for the
price of a couple,of springing heifers
at today’s community sales.
Today the average farmer has an
investment” that runs anywhere from
20,000 to 40,000 dollars. This is spread
over a farm, a tractor, and a full line
of power equipment, a herd of cattle,
some hogs, poultry and a long list of
so-called labor-savers, and modern
appliances. Many of these were un
heard of in the ’old days and so they
did not' represent the temptation that
they do today, to those folks who had
extra dollars in the late 40’s and in
50 and 51. At the same time, I would
venture to say that more of those 20«
to 40 thousand dollar investments are
paid for today than were the 10 thou
sand dollar investments in the 30’s.
There are fewer mortgages, less back
interest and back taxes, fewer debts
than

invested it in capital assets such as
equipment, improvements and addi
tional land.
One of the great problems of this
recent farm boom has been the huge
amount of money that a young fellow
has to be able to raise in order to
start out for himself. It would be
foolish to say that most farm boys
have that kind of money when they
there
and
who
say,
were in those days. Easy
easy go is the word and
had the money spent it,
but I prefer to say they

simply because thpy could not Jay
their hands upon the kind of money
needed to give them the iiidependance
of owning their o\vn farms, There are
not top mapy investors these days.
The retired farmers who used to move
to town and let out their mopey on
mortgages, find that they need most
of their farm and chattel returns to
buy a house in town and finance their
day-to-day life. Here then, we have
lost the principle method of financing
young fellows who wanted to start.
We have recently seen the Junior
Farmer Loan, the Canada Loan Board
and the Veterans’ Land Act take up
part of the load, but they cannot pos
sibly finance the huge investment
needed for today’s farm. Here is a
problem that must be solved if we
are to keep our farming land pro
ductive. How to finance the young
fellows who want to start. Farm fin
ancing is different than that of a
shop-keeper who knows approximate
ly what stock he needs to lay in, and
approximately what mark-up he can
receive. His estimates ■ may be opt
somewhat, but generally speaking, he
knows ahead of time what he can
spend in stock and ’ improvements.
Not so the farmer.
I once heard a man say that he
never invested, his own money, but
always borrowed from someone else.
Then, if he lost it, he wasn’t broke.
It isn’t possibly the soundest way to
do business in the world, but most
of the successful businessmen in any
community have “gambled” with bor
rowed money and ■ have struck it
rich. On the other hand, most of the
failures have made bad investments
with both their own, arid someone
else’s money. Financing is a very com
plex- topic and one that demands a
lot of study.

Girls’ Thursday Game
On Thursday, February 11, 1954, the
Goderich girls visited the Wingham
girls’ basketball team.
The game was very close but most
of the time the Wingham girls were
leading. Nearing the end of the game
the Goderich1'girls tied up the score
making the game more exciting. At
one minute to play Goderich bobbed
in two baskets, one right after
other.
Both teams played very hard
I think that this was one of
roughest games yet.
The score at full time read God

Ruth McNiven led the Goderich girls'
with 12 points and Feme Cook led the
Wingham girls with 11 points.

Boys’ Basketball
Thursday, February 11th, was a
brighter day for the junior boys’ bas
ketball team of W.D.H.S. They joined
in a contest with the junior team
from Goderich and, by only a slight
margin of two points, lost the game
14-12, Douglas Murray was Wingham’s
most outstanding scorer with 6 points
to his credit. Dick McCutcheon scor
ed 3, Leslie Showers 2 and Ian Heth
erington 1.
Once again the senior boys met
more than their equal „and didn’t do
quite so well. Goderich came away
victorious after inflicting a humilia
ting defeat of 62-16 on our seniors.
It was a black day. By the end of the
second quarter the score stood at
24-6 against our beleaguered team.
By the end of the fourth quarter the
score rested heavily against W.D.H.S.
38-10.
For Wingham George Hall and Bill
Laidlaw scored 5 points each; Bev.
Brooks has four to his name and John
Congram 2.
Let us not be too downhearted about
such a score. In the event of a victory,
such a feat would' be considered
unique and be all the more celebrated
because of it.
OFFICER TRANSERRED
Constable Henry Christienson, a
member of the Ontario Provincial Po
lice detachment at Walkerton for the

Goderich detachment and commenced
his duties there on February 15. I. H.

Every fifteen minutes, a Canadian suffers serious injury in a traffic accident.
Every four hours a life is lost. Every two minutes a fender is smashed.
Insurance cannot restore life or mitigate pain. All it can do is relieve the
financial burden of disaster. Even then, the bill comes high.
