The standards carried by Philip Adams and James Lem, led the parade and were then placed at the front of the church. The cubs are ' divided into two groups. A Pack is led by Jack Lloyd, Mac Cameron and Bev. Brooks while the leaders of B. Pack are Jack Alex ander, Barbara Edwards and Patricia Carmichael. Representing all the churches of the town, this is a com munity pack, holding their first church parade since their organiza tion less than a year ago. Rev. D. J. MacRae took as his text the two parables found in Matt 13; 44, 45, “The Buried Treasure” and “The Pearl of Great Price,” After telling the stories of these parables, Mr. Mac Rae, urged the young people to reach out for this valuable treasure which is Jesus Christ. Also present at the service was Mr. Fred Beck of Harriston, representing the Gideons, who have as their objec tive, the placing of Bibles in hotel rooms, schools, hospitals and other public places. Speaking from Isaiah 55: 11, “My word shall not return unto me void". Mr. Beck told of several instances where * people were led to spiritual peace by reading these Bibles. In 1908, the Gideons started to place Bibles in hotel bedrooms, in 1930 I the service was extended to hospitals and in 1933 to the jails. During the Second World War, fourteen million copies of the New Testament were placed in the hands of members of the armed services in Canada and 1 the United States. At the present time, i the Gideons are seeking to put Bibles i in the schools. A new service which is Baseball enthusiasts from all over Western Ontario, convened in Wing ham last week for the annual baseball group meeting. According to M.

A few weeks ago people were laying in a supply of smelt, many of them bring ing the succulent little fish home by the bushel. More recently some of the outdoor types have been gathering morels,, the mushrooms that bloom in the spring, and wild leeks; which are plentiful in many of the woods of the district. Next on the menu will pro bably be the perch, which should be running around about now in Goder ich. * * * There was a nice touch at the high school board meeting last week, when high school student, Shirley Bradburn, of Belgrave, wrote a very charming personal letter to the hoard, thanking them for the privilege of attending a performance of massed school choirs at Toronto last month.

SOCCER IDEACLICKS, TWENTY ENTHUSIASTS FORM TOWN TEAM Something new has been added the recreational set-up in Wingham this year. Or at least something that this town hasn’t seen for a long time. On Tuesday flight the first full-scale practice of the newly-formed Wing ham soccer club was held at the town park, and over 15 soccer enthusiasts turned put to kick the ball around. It just goes to show what a little pro motion will do. The whole thing started a couple of weeks ago when recreational director Vic Loughlean, mentioned, among other things, that a soccer team would be formed in Wingham “if enough people were interested”. Vic had an idea that among the New Canadians and Britishers in the district there might be enough interested in the game that is played so much “over ’ome” to get together a team. He was right. A brief notice in the “Main Drag” column of the Advance- Times announced to all and sundry that a soccer team would be formed if there were enough soccer players to form it', * Since then nearly 20 people rhave contacted Vic abbut the prospects of playing the good «• Old Country game of football. Provincial Constable Bob -Lewis, who was on the verge of signing up with the Ethel team, immediately announced he would rather play with the home team, and was promptly nominated as coach. Ferguson Riley will manage the team, which will be sponsored by the recreation council. The new team is now hoping to get into a soccer loop with Brussels, Lon- desboro, Ethel, Listowel and Holstein. A meeting of the league was sched uled for last night in Brussels, and a delegation from Wingham was to at tend to ask admittance to the league. The meeting was also to draw up a schedule of games for the coming sea son. With several baseball and softball teams, and now a soccer team, the town park should be a busy place this summer.

A need, to dominate, a wish to monopolize the spotlight to the point of excluding others from participation and a firm, belief in one's own omnis cience are attitudes that defeat the purpose of promoting public health.” A community is not likely to make progress in meeting its own health requirements unless it is aware of and concerned about its level Of health, and this awareness depends on several things including “The extent of . par ticipation of private (as distinct from governmental) health agencies,” ac cording, to the editorial. Private agen cies can Work with a “freer hand.” This community awareness also de pends in part on “its concept of the meaning of health; its concept of the importance of health• in relation to other values; the extent of effective communication between public health personnel and the section of the com munity they wish to reach, and how realistic the health plans are.” All of these requirements offer a challenge to a voluntary association with facili ties for public education, ’The Health League of Canada is the only voluntary association in the world to date carrying oh full-scale health education.

The club has again been assured a quota of speckled trout fingerlings for the district, and quite a heated dis cussion arose questioning the merits of stocking of Brown trout in the big rivers. The construction of farm ponds where reasonable* was a topic of inter est to all present and it would seem this angle definitely has merits to be considered. Wild Life The matter of a Wild life display during the 75th anniversary was then discussed. A committee was appoint ed to look into the possibilities of finding a suitable location.
