Wingliam Three tri-county tournaments will feaure Grand Bend’s "Rural Day” on Wednesday, August 25th— special celebration for the farm people pf Hurpn, Lambton and Middlesex. The counties will. vie against eaph pther in epntests pf all-star softball, lacrpsse, hprseshpe pitching and tug- of-war with handspme new trophies as prizes. The day is expected tc be the beginning pf annual competi- tinns at the ppular Lake Hurnn resprt. Described as “Western "Ontario’s Newest Farm Day” the Grand Bend celebration is being organized by the Chamber of Commerce with enthusi­ astic support from agrculture ‘and sports officials in the three counties. The total reseurces of the resort with its famous white sand and beach Will be turned over to the entertain­ ment and amusement of its rural nei- ghbors. Facilities for family ponies and special attractions have been ar­ ranged in addition to the spurt pro­ gram. Pick Best Players Top softball players from each county will be picked for the all-star contests. Two of the select squads will meet in the morning with the winner playing the third in an after­ noon game. Entries for the horseshoe pitching contests are pouring into the Cham­ ber of Commerce office indicating that this old sport still enjoys im­ mense popularity. The county champ­ ions will be declared by elimination in the morning and a grand champion- REFUSE TO SELL BRIDGE FOR $126 Logan Township Council won’t sell the old Haehnel bridge for $126. Coun­ cil earlier asked for tenders but re­ ceived one only. Reeve William H. Chaffe and coun- cilllors decided it would be better to dismantle" the bridge, which has been replaced by a new structure and use the material .in other projects. - He forgot that a bit of wood preservative, applied at little cost when the fence was put’ in, would have saved him the cost-of new posts now. In the telephone business, as around your own home, we find it’s better to do the job right in the first place and then look after it. It’s the best way we know to avoid heavy repair and replacement costs, to save expense and give you most service for your money. < . That’s why we treat telephone poles against rot; why we keep our trucks clean and in good repair; why we put up exchanges and offices to last. It’s common sense if we are to keep our costs down—and the price of your telephone service low. When Service is Required on your Lighter or Pipe send it to CAMERON’S BILLIARDS OTNGHAM . ONTARIO money ♦ A bank offers you two types account, Savings and Current. t Financial Stability Greatest Strength Says Bank Letter Prpbably the greatest source strength in Canada at the present time is the financial stability of the economy says the current issue of the Commercial Letter published by The Canadian Bank of Commerce. The ability of the capital market to absorb security offerings encourages capital expenditures by both business and governments. Also, there has been no sharp or sustained break in security prices. This has had a good psycho­ logical effect and has helped to stimu­ late the sale of equities. Savings (not­ ice deposits in chartered banks), are at a very high level, and to the end of June had increased by-8 per cent since the beginning of the year. Thus jthere is available a large sum for the reduction of outstanding indebtedness. The decline in retail sales, almost 2 per cent in the January-May period compared with 1953—may, in the cir­ cumstances, be.regarded not so much as the result of inability to buy as of I disinnlinntinn' tn dn so. This disinclina­ tion arises, apparently, in part from the decline in employment, in part from a hesitation to increase commit­ ments, and in part from a feeling that prices are “out of line" and may drop. Since the .autumn of 1953 the broad pattern of the Canadian economy has been one of gradual subsidence fol- ship round robin will be staged in the afternoon, All doubles teams must be entered by midnight, August 20. En­ try forms are. available from Pat Harrison, C. of C. See-, Grand Bend. -Agricultural representatives will pick the strongest and heaviest men in their counties for the tug-of-war matches, The preliminary pull will be staged in the morning with the grand championship match in the afternoon. School Will Be Site Grand Bead’s new three-acre feric- ed-in ^school playground will be the scene of the tri-county contests. Blea­ cher seats are being provided for the day. Originator of “Rural Day" is D. W. “Pat" Harrison, secretary-manager of the Chamber of Commerce, who says: “We’ve planned this event to pay tri­ bute to the rural friends of Grand Bend who have supported our resort for four generations. They used to , disinclination' to do so. This disinclina- come here by horse and buggy to en-jHn" apisfta in nnH from joy picnics and sports events. Now we’d like to honor them with a special day of their own.” According to Emerson Desjardine,’ Chamber of Commerce vice-president, and Peter Eisenbach, director, no ef­ fort will be spared to make this one !of the biggest and finest fa™’d^' a d^and sonte^ ie. in Western Ontario. “We want to make this celebration an outstanding success," said Sir. Eisenbach, “be­ cause we want it to .be an annual event." Grand Bend is the only point at which the three counties meet. The village is actually in Lambton but it has Huron on its north boundary and Middlesex is only a few miles to the south-east. James G. Webster Was Well Known in Sport James G. Webster, well known citi­ zen of Wingham, died in Wingham General Hospital, on Saturday, August 14th. He was 84. Born in Scotland, he came to this country as a young, man. For many years he was employed as a book­ keeper at Cooke’s factory, afterwards working at Brown's factory.

Funeral service was conducted from the Walker Funeral Home on Monday, with Rev. D. J. MacRae in charge. In­ terment was in Wingham cemetery. Pallbearers were ’John Weir, Wil­ liam Monk, Danny Kerr, Wesley Agar, Percy Deyell and Mark Gardner. , than normal recovery in the spring. While most of the major sections of the economy followed this trend, there were subsections that showed strong resistance to downward pressures, and there seemed little, if any, tendency toward a reciprocal or chain reaction j to unfavourable developments in in­ dividual seetprs. The Letter comments further pn various facets of Canada’s economy. Industrial production, unemployment and the civilari 'working force, about income and farm cash income are deajlt with, as are capital investment, construction, retail sales and reta’il consumer credit, foreign trade, whole­ sale prices and crop conditions.
