Stewart Nimmo, son of Rev. and Mrs. Alex Nimmo, died in Brace­ bridge Memorial Hospital early Wednesday morning as the result of a car accident near^ Gravenhurst on Saturday, August 28th. His death fol­ lowed that of John Campbell Hanna, who was instantly killed in the same crash. For twelve days doctors fought a losing battle to save, his life. Although his injuries were critical from the time of the ■ accident, as the days passed without his condition worsen­ ing, friends and acquaintances began to hope that the passage of time might bring about a change for the better. Until the time of his death, doctors held hopes that he might sur-’ vive. However, he died without having regained consciousness. During his confinement in Brace­ bridge Hospital his parents were at his side, as was his sister, Margaret. Rev. and Mrs. Nimmo hastened home from a vacation in Pictou, Nova Scot­ ia, to be at his bedside and Margaret, who was scheduled .to sail for For­ mosa on the day of the accident, re­ ceived word in San Francisco and flew home from there. Special nurses have kept watch over him since he was admitted-to hospital. A brain operation was performed by Dr. F. Williamson on the day of the accident, and since that time he was thought to be holding his own. Stewart Nimmo was a member of the sales staff of the Toronto office of C. Lloyd & Son, -having started in the position this year after leaving Wingham District High School. He was popular with young and old alike and was active in several of the or­ ganizations of town. The body is resting at the Currie Funeral Home. The funeral service wil be held on Saturday at 2 p.m. from St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. Rev. Ritchie Bell, B.A., B.D., of Mont­ real, will conduct the service. Inter­ ment will be made in Wingham Ceme­ tery.

A total of 430 students have registered to date, compared with 396 last year. The registration was somewhat heavier than expected, according to Principal W. S. Hall..

Mrs. Pearl Wilton, who taught at Brussels last year, has been taken on the staff here. * Largest number of students is in Grade 9, with a total of 148. Figures for other grades were: Grade 10, 114; Grade 11, 83; Grade 12, 65; Grade 13, 16. The recreation room has been divided for an extra classroom to ac­ commodate the overflow, until the new school is ready for occupancy, some time in January. New teachers at the high school this year are: Miss Marilyn Davis, St. Thomas; Miss Jean Thompson, Tees- water and Miss Dorothy Comber, Bob- caygeon.c P. 'S.

Student to Collect $10 Prize for Suggestion to Leave Name Unchanged An lUnnamed student of the Wing­ ham District High School made him­ self what was probably the easiest ten dollars of his career this week, when he suggested a new name for the Wingham District High School. And the high school board, which payed out the money, seemed to be agreed that it was worth it. The whole thing started last spring when talk of the new high school building was in the air. At that time the board thought that perhaps the name Wingham High School was not representative enough of the district the high school served. Members felt that residents of the outlying com­ munities mights feel better about helping pay for the new building if the name were not so obviously Wing- ham-ish. . In order to get ideas for a new name it was decided to hold a contest among the students of the school, with Hospital Auxiliary Sets Rummage Sale Date for Oct' 16th theAt the September meeting of Ladies’ Auxiliary to Wingham General Hospital, the date of the fall rum­ mage sale was set for Saturday, Oct­ ober 16th, in the Wingham Armouries, Plans were made to carry on the marathon bridge parties which will Start in November and continue dur­ ing the winter. As these two projects are the chief money raising events of the auxiliary, everyone is asked to keep them in mind. During,the summer, the necessary sewing Was kept up, 228 new articles being made, which included nursery and operating room supplies and bed­ ding, New drapes added to the Com­ fort of some of the rooms and end­ less mending was done.

Three Suffer Minor Hurts at Wingham Three minor accident victims were treated at the Wingham General Hos­ pital over the Labor Day holiday week-end, according to the superin­ tendent, Mrs. I. E. Morrey. /Patsy Foran, ten-year-od daughter of Mr and Mrs. Elmer Foran, of R. R. 2, Lucknow, suffered an injured pel­ vis while playing with several other children at a neighbor’s farm. The youngsters were riding in a horse- drawn buggy, when a sudden bump threw Patsy to the ground. One of th'e buggy wheels passed over her body. X-ray treatment failed to reveal any fracture. She is being kept under observation. A 57-year-old Ethel carpenter, Rob­ ert Vodden, suffered a severe injury to his left knee, when a wheelbarrow loaded with cement struck it. Vodden was in the act of ascending a gang­ plank when the barrow got away from him. Willa Arthur, aged 12, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Arthur, While playing at the site of the new Wing­ ham District High School received a cut over the right eye when struck by a piece of iron. Willa and other children were constructing a play “hut” with material lying around the partly finished school, when the bar, being carried by a playmate struck her across the head. COMPARE ASSESSMENTS FIND WINGHAM’S ON . last Young Construction Workers Build Hut On Maitlan^d Banks 'There is a neat little hut built week in a clump of trees down by the bank of the Maitland River, near Wroxeter. .The hut, complete • with roof and door, is the product of a very young construction team, David Grainger, aged 6, and Dickie Allen, aged 7. * The boys were taken last week to see the movie “The Kidnappers” in a neighbouring town. They watched with interest the two small' boys in the movie who wanted a dog so badly, but were denied by their severe grand­ father. Finding a baby left for a time by the older brother in charge, they kidnapped the baby and built the hut, a place to give it loving care. The following day David and pickie started their building project. Two pet kittens found shelter. Dickie had to leave for his home in Montreal this week so the hut is closed for the sea­ son. But two little boys have great plans for next summer. PAR WITH PROVINCE The town’s financial statement for the first six months of the year was examined by members of the town council at their regular monthly meeting last Tuesday, and the council members seemed to like what they saw. “Spending in GjeMirst'six months of the year seems to be in line with totals budgeted for the year’’, Mayor Dewitt Miller pointed out in presenting the report. ■ 1 » .F Sole exception to the rule of keeping within the budget was the fire department, which had exceeded its budget over the six-month period by buying a large quantity of new fire hose. However Councillor Norman Keating, of the fire and band committee,^saii-that the purchase was neces­ sary and that there would be no out- of-the-way expenditures as far-as he could see during the balance of the year. He said he expected that the ' department would still end up within its yearly budget. Money Coming In The council found that for the period covered by this meeting, at least the money was coming in, rather than going out. Town, Clerk W. A. Galbraith report­ ed that* the town had received a cheque for the unconditional grant of $4,169.60 from the Provincial Govern­ ment. The grant is based on a popu­ lation figure of 2,642, as shown in the 1951 census. Mr. Galbraith pointed out that this was 33 less than he ex­ pected, due to the fact that about 33 persons were in hospital at the time, but the council accepted the cheque nevertheless. Mr. Galbraith also reported that the town was $2,500 richer because of the anniversary celebrations, having budg­ eted for that amount,^ which showed on its books as an expenditure. Be­ cause of the success of the celebra­ tions, the amount had now been re­ turned to the town, and could proper­ ly be termed a surplus. In addition to the $2,500 there was a. matter of $1,800 profit shown on the celebration, which was still in the hands of the anniversary committee. Some discus­ sion followed as to what should be done with money, .but' no action was taken. Surplus at Waterworks The auditor’s report for the first half of 1954 also showed a surplus in the waterworks department amount­ ing to $2,662.78. Income over the period amounted to slightly over $9,000, as compared with expenditures of approximately $6,500. The prospect of further additions to the town coffers was placed in front of the councillors when a motion was passed applying for the annual statutory grant from the Department of Highways, and building permit fees, which had been slightly off for the year, showed a sudden upswing with the application for a permit for the new high school building, to be erect­ ed at a cost of $525,000. The topper came when Mr. Gal­ braith announced that a cheque had been received from the county coun­ cil, representing Wingham’s share of the fines levied in county court. The clerk explained that fines from the courthouse in Goderich were put into a pot and split amongst the various municipalities in the county. Unfortunately various administratlon- al expenses, such as judges’ fees, were deducted before the split, With the result that Wingham’s amounted to only $1.60. Want to Spend It Too Although money seemed to be com­ ing in at a fairly Steady rate, council Was also Confronted with requests for money th be spent.(Continued on Page Ten) Former Morris, Man Passes in West Word has been received of the death of Alexander Allan Speir, in Cabri Hospital, Cabri, Saskatchewan, on September 1st.

NOTICE The Town Clerk’s office will be closed until Monday, September 20th, share There may be doubt in the minds of some of the people of Wingham and vicinity as to whether Wingham’s recent re-assessment was fair or not, but the Department of Municipal Af­ fairs seems to be satisfied. At least according to two of their assessors who visited the ago. The Ontario certain amount _ _ including the Department of High­ ways building, and in order to make sure they get what they consider a fair assessment, they send their own representatives into town. These men made a spot check of ten properties in town, placing their own “assess­ ment” on them, after which their evaluation of the properties is com­ pared with those of the town assessor. Town clerk W. A. Galbraith announ­ ced at the meeting of council last week that the two department assessors had been in his office to compare as­ sessments, and that they had told him that the assessments were very simil­ ar. They said that tax notices based on the town’s assessment would be honoured by the provincial govern­ ment. Apparently the provincial govern­ ment, at least, is satisfied that Wing­ ham’s ^assessment is in line with those of other municipalites in the province. town a week or sc government owns a of property in town, Two Injured in Local Accidents Wesley Simmons, of Wingham, 23, an employee of C.

Benson Shackleton, 37, RR 1, Dun­ gannon, received a compound frac­ ture of his right leg when he fell through the platform of a bale ele­ vator at his farm. The accident occurred when he was about to change places with a fellow worker. He apparently tripped and fell through the floor of the machine to the ground. DR A. F. MCKENZIE HAD LONGEST RECORD AS A PRACTISING PHYSICIAN Dr. Alexander Felstead McKenzie, formerly of Monkton and Wingham, died at Claremont, Ont., on Thursday last, in his 90th year. He had been in failing health for the past year. Dr. McKenzie was born at Goderich on May 6, 1865. At an early age his family moved to Wingham where they lived for a number- of years in the old McKenzie home on the bank of the Maitland River at the McKenzie bridge. He attended public school in Wingham, and will be remembered by some of the older residents. The late Dr. Redmond knew him well. He was a brother of R. E. McKenzie, who lived in Belgrave from 1905 until 1943, the time of his death. He graduated in medicine from the University of Toronto in 1884, and practiced in Belgrave and Toronto before moving to Monkton in 1895. In 1916 he moved to Oakville, then to Alliston, returning to Monkton in 1925, where he practised until 1952. At the time of his retirement in 1952 Dr. McKenzie was considered to have the longest record of continuous ser­ vice of any physician in Canada, with 68 years of practice. He was the founder, in 1913, of the Perth Medical Society and later was made a life member of that society. His only son,’ Dr. Kenneth G. Mc­ Kenzie, became a specialist in brain surgery and a professor of surgery at the University of Toronto, In 1889 he was married to Marg­ aret Pakenham, who. died July 9th, 1951. He was a life member of the Toronto Academy of Medicine and the Ontario-Canadian Medical Associa­ tion. He is surviyed by one son, Dr. K. C. McKenzie, Toronto, foui’ grand­ children and six great grandchildren. The funeral service was held On Saturday from the Heath Funeral Home, Mitchell, with Rev. J. Robert Watt, of Main Street United Church, Mitchell, officiating, Burial was tnade In Maitland Cemetery, Goderich. a $10 prize for the best suggestion for a new name. And rather than wait for’the students to make up their minds, Principal W. S. Hall ppresented them all with blank slips of paper orc which each was to write his sugges­ tion. In case of ties it was decided to pick the winner out of a hat. Many Suggestions Many and varied were the sugges­ tions from the students. Perhaps the biggest majority favored the name “Maitland District High School”. Others plumped for North Huron and South Bruce”, “Hillcrest”, “Skyview”, “Huron and Bruce” and similar names. Comedy relief was added by the wags who suggested “Sing Sing" and “Wingham Town and Country Club”. When the board met to consider the suggestions they delayed making the decision until the next meeting. At the following meeting the decision was again shelved. At a meeting of the board last week Chairman James Armstrong in­ formed members that he thought the matter should be settled once and for all, and board members got down to the serious work of discussing the matter. “Maitland District High School” was not representative enough, they decid­ ed. After all part of the high school was in the Saugeen watershed, rather than the Maitland. “North Huron and South Bruce” was a good name, but not particularly distinctive for Wingham. The high school at Luck­ now could lay claim to the same name. “Hillcrest” was a nice enough name, but would convey nothing to anybody who didn’t live in Wingham. In fact the board decided that any of the names .cation Aiders. And decided that the new name for the new high school would be—Wingham. District High School. And the ten dollars? While all the other students were rackin" ^0^ trains for a suitable name for the new school, one unimaginative type apparently couldn't think of anything? So he put the present name of the school on his slip of paper, probably thinking it’s as good as any. It probably is. At any rate he wins the $10.
