TWO SHOWS NIGHTLY SATURDAY MATINEE MB WEDNESDAY - THURSDAY April 7-3 “Sangaree” Arlene Dahl Fernandos Lamas Welcome Home! The midget hockey team got quite a welcome home last Wednesday morning early. And if the wind had been in the other direction, we might have missed it. Like everybody else in Wingham, we listened to the game on CKNX. That is, we listened to it in bits and pieces, Up at < the town hall they were put ting on a dress rehearsal for the drama festival, and we were there to get a picture of the proceedings. Be tween acts and pictures, we sneaked down stairs to the council chambers, where someone had a portable radio, tuned to the game. Just about every- body was glued to the radio, and the people who were upstairs going through tjiejr act were beginning to complain about the noise. ' Leaving the town hall, we dropped into the Brunswick for a bit of stimu- ant, in time to hear the tough second period, which seexned to be touch and go the whole way. pave Murray was in there chewing his fingernails and wishing the period would go a little faster. 0-0-0 PSYCHOLOGY SUBJECT Iff W.I. MEETING | The members of the Wingham Branch of the- Women’s Institute and a number of visitors spent a very in teresting and profitable afternoon on Wednesday of last week, when they had the privilege and pleasure of hav ing with them Miss Irene McBride, who is sent out by the W. I. to carry, to the women of Canada her message on the topic "Phychology and You.” Miss McBride has made an exten sive study of her subject and has won for herself an unusual number of degrees and honours in her chosen- field of study, including that of the coveted scholarship from the Can adian Government which enabled her to further her study in the Nether-s lands. Apart from her qualifications and ability, Miss McBride is the fortunate possessor of a wonderful personality ■and presented her course in a bright and pleasing manner, dealing with the differentiation with relation to a phychologist, a psychiatrist and a psycho-analyst; the qualifications and work of each and the value which can be gained through the work of these students of science to the individual or group in the field of industry and the home, particularly with regard to the intellectual and phychological the local boys were going to be cham pions again, and John Cruickshank’s shout, “And the game >s over!” came almost as an anti-climax. 0 * Q * l> Ready to Roll Back in the back shop of the Ad vance-Times the week’s edition was just about ready to roll. All except the front page story of Tuesday night’s game. We dashed off a little something to fill the empty space, and somebody suggested a banner head line, Banner headlines are very fine if the occasion warrants, and if you have a little warning*. In this case the occasion warranted, but there wasn’t very much warning. The week before we had had a heading already set and ready to go, announcing that the Midgets* had won the championship. Trouble was they didn’t win—that week. People in the back shop had hinted darkly that it was bad luck to set a heading like that beforehand. So this week there was no heading. A survey of the front page and a hasty consultation showed that a banner headline could be put in - if the front page was torn apart to make room. Everybody got to work to tear it apart. From there It was a short step to figuring what a good idea it would be to run off a few copies for the Jjoys, on their arrival back in town* At about 1 o’clock the job was done and a couple of dozen copies run off as souvenirs for the victorious hockey players. The Wingham Advance-Times, Wednesday, April 7th, 19S4 growth of the child, She explained the different levels of I, Q, and the meth od of determining to what level an individual belongs. The second part of the course was carried on in the form of a confer ence, with the ladies breaking up into small groups and discussing a number of questions pertaining to woman and the home, The findings were then brought back to the meeting by the leaders appointed to cover the discus sion of the different groups. Though the questions for discussion appeared on the surface to be quite simple and everyday topics, it was interesting study to note the various viewpoints taken by the members. I’M* Thrtt Afternoon tea was served at the close of the meeting. FISHERMEN RETRACT GUNNERY OBJECTION South Huron Fishermen’s Associa tion has dropped its objection to ah RCAF gunnery target over the south end of Lake Huron. . < Association President John Manore, of Grand Bend, said the objection was dropped when RCAF headquarters said the target would be used for light machine gun practice, not bombing. The association expressed concern about the target area off • Kettle Point on grounds that it would make fishing dangerous, Grand Finale Over ip the CKNX control room Tom Rafferty and Clint Godwin were standing around looking nervous and offering brief prayers- as the going got rough. John Langridge, at t;be controls, was having soipe difficulty in reading a technical treatise on some obscure phase of radio work, with all the din going on around, and Tom was scurrying back and forth between the control room and the news office, trying to keep track of several games at once. We lightened the burden for him a bit by keeping the score sheet from John Cruickshank’s broadcast,' and it wasn’t a very easy matter. John was broadcasting the game without bene fit of a time clock, and ever^ time thei;e was a goal scored or a penalty given we had to do- a bit of mental arithmetic to figure out what the time was. On a couple of occasions we never did get the name of the Can nington player who was penalized, so we had to use our imagination. By the time Cannington got three penalties towards the end of the third period, and Wingham had banged an insurance goal, it became evident that MONDAY - TUESDAY April 12 - 13 “Scandal at Scourie” SPUED SATIN Glidden SPRED SATIN —a soft satin sheen for walls, ceilings and woodwork too.

But it didn’t work that way. Seems that during the ex citement of the day we forgot to put sawdust in the hopper and the furn ace was out. W.e were working away in a cellar ful of smoke when we heard the horns, whistles and sirens. Leaving the furnace to fend for itself we dashed down town through the blizzard to arrive at the town hall just as the fire truck was doing its third round through town. As the boys were getting off the fire truck we started handing out the papers. They were too excited to pay very much attention, until somebody happend to notice the headline. Then they were all grabbing for papers, peering over each other's shoulders, trying to read the fine print by’the light of the street lamps. Congratulations, O.M.H.A. Champs! And welcome home.
