Suggestions for celebrating the
town’s 75th Anniversary continue to
comp in to the Advance-Times office,
as people of town are taking hold of the idea "and discussing it in their
•homes, on the street and in the meet
ing places.
A couple of important suggestions
have been made concerning the gen
eral running of the anniversary cele
brations. One is that every organiz
ation ip town be contacted and asked
to take some sort of part in the fes
tivities. If evpry drganization were
to take part in the activities, there
should be no shortage of help, it is
pointed out. The Business Association
which is co-ordinating efforts for
the celebrations, is considering a
meeting of the heads i>f all organiza
tions in town to discuss what part
should be taken by the different soc
ieties.
Another equally important idea
voiced by several people around town
was that a committee should be set
up to study anniversary celebrations'
of other towns in the district, with a
view to “borrowing” some of their
successful promotions and avoiding
those which were unsuccessful. One
of the local merchants has offered to
take a carload of businessmen to St.
Thomas, which recently put on a very
successful event, and others think
that a discussion with officials in
Listowel might bring some results.
Want Race Track Restored
Horse lovers around town are ask
ing if it would be possible to restore
the old race track down on the prai
rie in time for the anniversary cele
brations. They point out that at one
time the town’s race track was known
as one of the best in Ontario, and
that without too much in the way of
work it could be put in shape to use
again.' A race meet at the time of
the anniversary might be just the
thing to ’get racing started in Wing
ham again, they say.
Biggest difficulty would probably
be the erection of some kind of a
stand and stables for the horses. It’s
doubtful if all that could be done by
summer, but if some sort of makeshift
arrangements could be made, and the
first season turned out to be a suc
cess, local fans have hopes that rac
ing might again become established
in Wingham.
Soap Box Derby
Soap box derbies have been run
with considerable success in other
towns and there is a school of thought
in Wingham which believes that a
derby would be a welcome addition
on the town’s 75th birthday. The Kins
men organized a derby a few years
ago, and some people think the time
is ripe for reviving the event.
The hills of town would seem to
provide ample grades for the sport,
but some Of the streets would have
to be smoothed out a bit. Plans, speci
fications and rules for the races are
said to be still around town some
where. . >■”'
Usual Suggestions
A number of the usual suggestions
have been made for the celebrating of
the anniversary. Most of the men
seem to think a beauty contest would
be very appropriate for the occasion.
Others think that it would be a good
idea to rope off a considerable por
tion of the main street, so that carni
val booths could be erected the length
of the main street, or at least for a
couple of blocks. A street dance is
regarded by most people as a “must”
for any celebration.
' A tug-of-war between teams from
the town and the country has aroused
quite a bit of v interest around town.
The Advance-Times has-been inform
ed that a town team has already been
formed, and that they are willing to
challenge any team from the coun
try to pull the rope against them.
Invite Former Preachers
A suggestion that former ministers
of town be invited back’ for the an
niversary, has been made, This idea
might tie in very well with a drum
head service which the Canadian
Legion is planning for the Sunday of
that week-end. Former ministers of
the town could contribute greatly to
religious ceremonies in connection
with the town’s birthday.
The suggestion that a fishing derby
be held over the week-end seems to
have met with general approval. Jack
Alexander, proprietor of the Donald
Rae Hardware, has offered a spinning
rod and reel as a prize in the contest
for the biggest fish caught within
the town limits, and it is hoped that
other merchants will contribute prizes
for the contest.

CARGILL BOYS DASH TO
SAFETY THROUGH FLAMES
Two boys escaped death in a blazing
bedroom by running through a sheet
of flames in their home in Cargill on
Saturday night. One of them suffered
minor burns to his feet. The boys, Rob
ert Garland, 15 and his brother, Pat,
6, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Allan Garland,
were asleep in their bedroom when
the fire broke out. Robert had been at
a desk studying and fell asleep. Dur
ing his sleep he knocked the chimney
off the coal oil lamp which was used
to light the room. Suddenly the lamp
exploded, sending a shower of flaming
oil around the room. The boys called
to their parents who came racing up
the stairs. Mrs. Garland shouted at
them to come out. She also called her
daughter, Shirley, 9, who was sleep
ing in a room across the hall.—Chesley

Diabetes has been known to medi
cal science for thousands of years, but
only since 1922 have doctors been
able to treat it successfully. The tre
mendous advance was due to the dis
covery of insulin in Toronto by F. G.
Bariting in collaboration with J. J. R.
McLeod and C. H. Best.
The diabetic, who once was doomed
to certain early death, today can live
as long—or longer
— than the non
diabetic person.
Insulin, a hormone
that is extracted
from the glands of
slaughtered ani
mals, is vital to the
utilization of sugar
. by the body.
In diabetes the patient’s body can
not produce sufficient quantities of
this hormone, with the result that the
whole bodily mechanism is thrown
out of kilter, injections of insulin cor
rect this condition as long m they
are continued.
