Quite a few ear windshields around town are sporting the new 75th An­ niversary stickers, which were put in­ to circulation last week. The stick­ ers, in patriotic red and blue colors, ghould literally go a long way to at­ tract attention to the fact that Wing- have is going to have a birthday party. Members of the town’s Anniversary committee would like to see every car in town with a sticker, and have placed them around at all the service Stations for convenience of car own­ ers. Next time you’re gassing up, don’t forget to get a sticker, if you haven’t already got one. * * * Saturday afternoon's near-tornado reminded a lot of people of the kind of weather we were getting around this time last year. Climax of a ser­ ies of electrical storms was the big blow down south, which did so much damage in Morris, East Wawanosh Satur- very as if and neighboring townships, I day's 'Wind didn’t amount to much, but for a while it looked something big was brewing.* * * Several of the store fronts on main street have been or are being brightened up. Rapp’s Bakery and Bill Henderson’s barber shop have the E s WINGHAM s I£g g TAXI 24=Hour Service Passengers”! nsured Phone 65 YOU CAM DEPENOON just received new coats of white paint, which adds considerably to the appearance of the fronts, Edighof- fer’s store has had the finishing touch­ es put on the new front, and with the trim all finished and a new awning put up, all that is needed is the name in big letters above the door. Howard Machan’s shop on Josephine Street is also undergoing a face-lift­ ing. Fart of the old stone block, now mostly covered with stucco, the shop will be the latest addition to the mod­ ern store fronts which have been added during the last few years. Old timers coming back for the an­ niversary celebrations will hardly re­ cognize the place! * * * Anyone looking for a cool place on these hot days should drop into either of the creameries and have a chat with the girls in the egg grading de­ partment. If the hot weather con­ tinues much longer, we have an idea that egg grading rooms might be­ come very popular places. With a temperature of about 65 all year around, an egg grading room should cool*you off faster than an air-conditioned theatre. People who work there, however, have their complaints too. They say the places are chilly, and furthermore that you feel the heat more when you do come out.* * The Township of West Wawanosh has finally confirmed the fact that it will contribute to the cost of the new hospital wing. For some time there seemed to be some doubt about it. Last fall there was a referendum on the question and it was found that the people were in favor of contribut­ ing. Since then the hospital board has been trying to find out if the council actually did approve the plan. Last week, at the board’s regular meeting, word finally came through. A copy of the original resolution, passed last October, immediately af­ ter the referendum, was received by the board.
