Holmdale Creamery had one which must have gone eight feet and there was a beauty at the hospital which must . have been all of nine. How about an icicle derby? 0-0-0 Wingham’s new anti-noise by-law has drawn favorable comment from at least two communities in the dis­ trict. • The Owen Sound Sun-Times has this to say about the new by-law: “Wingham Town Council has, bann­ ed the use of loud speakers within the town limits, a measure that might well be adopted by many other muni­ cipalities, In future, any 'Winghamite seeking to use a loudspeaker to ad­ vertise or describe an event must first, obtain permission from the Chief of Police. The ban applies to all loud­ speakers, whether mechanical or elec­ trical mobile or stationary. “Noise is one of the' great contri­ buting factors to a case of shattered nerves. Some noises in urban centres CAUSE FOR ALARM—On the main drag icicles are cause for some alarm among merchants who are liability conscious. Pushing snow off the roof and removing icicles proved to be a major operation at the Burke Electric shop, with two men on the roof heav­ ing at the snoW and qne man knock­ ing off the icicles. Pedestrians on the main drag are anxiously glancing skywards these warm days. 0-0-6 " BALMY BREEZES—We are indebt­ ed to John W. ,Hanna, M.P.P., for a copy of the Miami Daily News which proves that somewhere the sun is shining. Probabilities in the paper (the first thing we looked for) said sunny with a high of 76. It we hadn't seen it in the newspaper we wouldn’t have" believed it. Bathing beauties in the picture pages gave us goose pimples, and not the way you think! 0-0-0 SIDEWALK SUPERINTENDENTS —Plenty of sidewalk superintendents around the past couple of days, with the fancy snow-blowing equipment working on the main drag. Hope no­ body got sucked in. 0-0-0 In the Governor-General Trophy play a Wingham rink defeated Mount Forest in the first round with Clifford drawing a bye. In the final round Wingham de­ feated Clifford to capture group 13 honors. Winning rinks were L. Case- more, H. Thomas, H. Allan, W. Tiffin, skip; R. C. Thomson, G. Deyell, S. Scott and Dr, W. A.

In the preliminaries of the Ontario Silver Tankard, group 13, four clubs competed, Mount Forest, Clifford, Kin­ cardine and Wingham. Mount Forest curlers came out on top with an aggregate score of 24 to 15 for the Kincardine rinks. Forest rinks were skipped Smith and Roy Nickel.

Snook voiced the thank? of the Mount Forest curlers. just cannot be avoided. They are a part of urban life. But the raucous blaring of a loudspeaker, particularly one mounted on top of a car patrolling the streets of the city, is something that the majority of citizens can get along without”. Closer to home the Teeswater News comments on “unusual noises”: “Wingham Council has passed a by­ law prohibiting the making of any unusual noises in that town. Possibly that sounds a little on the balmy side, but actually it is a sound piece of legislation. “Unusual noises takes in a lot of territory, for instance, it governs the use of loudspeakers within the cor­ poration. For example, before a sound truck or car can now advertise on any Wingham street, special permission must first be obtained. Such per­ mission may be cancelled at any time. This latter clause puts the teeth in the right place. If such a sound truck is ■granted permission tb blare its adver­ tisements along the streets and. goes beyond the bounds of reason in turn­ ing up the volume, or, if a case of ill­ ness exists where such noise would be a detriment—then such permission can be cancelled. “Unusual noises takes in a wide scope—horn blowing, unnecessary tire skidding in either starting or stopping, intentional back-firing of motors, dis­ plays of vocal power via whoops, yells, etc. One could go on' and on al­ most indefinitely. “We, in Teeswater, and especially the people who reside along the main street over their business places, know all about such unusual noises. For the past year it has been com­ paratively quiet, in fact more quiet than it has been for a long time. Prior to that we went through a terrific noise campaign, when every conceiv­ able violation of such a by-law was made. To say that we are appreciat­ ing the quietness that now exists, is putting it mildly indeed. If Wingham residents are being subjected to the noisy abuse that we in Teeswater put up with for some time,, then their council is to be commended on the action of an “Un­ usual Noise By-Law.” * "MUST BE, A RECORD—TownMUST BE, A RECORD—Town coun­ cil’s special meeting on Monday must have been the shortest on record. It lasted only half an hour.

OF BUSINESS ASSOC. Representatives of the Canadian Legion, Wingham Branch, met with the Wingham Business Association in the council chamber pn Monday eve­ ning, asking that the latter organiz­ ation support the Legion’s request for a holiday on November 11th, ’Don Adams voiced the stand of the Le­ gion in the matter, pointing out that a plaque in the entry Sof the town hall lists the names of those who served in the wars. “However,” he said, “we don’t seem to be able to find time for a day in the year to be-set aside for remembrance.’’ » Various members of the Business Association expressed; their complete willingness to go alpng with the Le­ gion in the matter of .the holiday, but also stated their opinions that the matter was one which should be re­ solved by government in order to have the observance universal. At the conclusion of the discussion the Busi­ ness Association agreed to take up the matter with all the business people in the town so that a complete cross­ section of opinion could' be obtained. At the same meeting there was a lengthy discussion omthe advisability of closing stores on Saturday evenings and remaining .open Friday nights instead. The practice is becoming more frequent in other towns, and ac­ cording to the reports'Which are so far available, has proved popular with .shoppers from both to^n and country. It was decided that-opinion would be sought from merchants and shoppers .before anything further is done. Officers of the Business Association are elected for a twO-year term and it was therefore decided that those who served in 1954 iwould continue for the current year. They are H. P. Carmichael, president; W. T. Cruick­ shank, vice-pres.;- Barry Wenger, sec­ retary and Warren Callan, treasurer. Ken Kerr has been added to the slate as publicity agent.

F26* Here’s Somebody Who Likes Wingham’s Snow Wingham streets department, weigh­ ed down by the weight of snow from last week-end’s blizzard, got a break on Mohday—because of the lack of snow in Goderich. The Dominion Road Machinery Com­ pany, of that town, had just put the finishing touches on a new snow blower designed for small-scale snow removal operations. The new machine looked good, but there was only one hitch. The town of Goderich, on the Balmy shores of Lake Huron, had no snow on which to try it out. Hearing of Wingham’s snowfall, officials of the company phoned Town Clerk W. A. Galbraith to confirm reports that Wingham had collected a fair share of the white stuff, Galbraith assured ports were true. Jack Alexander, streets committee act of passing out shovels to men of the streets department, who were just about to tackle the job of snow re­ moval by hand. Mr. Alexander assured them that they could practice on Wingham streets to their heart’s content. And as a result Wingham’s main street is being cleared of snow in record time and at no expense, courtesy Dominion Road Machinery Company. The new machine consists of a large plow-like scoop with two spiral blades which chew up the snow and eject it through a blower, all mounted on • the front of a tractor, with an auxiliary engine mounted on the rear. The snow is blown into dump trucks which run alongside, permitting con­ tinuous operation of the unit. The new machine will go to Mont­ real after its test run in Wingham.

PLAY IN FESTIVAL The regular meeting of the Wing­ ham Kinsmen Club was presided over by president, Rip Ellacott, with first vice-president, Warren Callan and sec­ ond vice-president, Jack Gorbutt. President Rip opened the meeting by welcoming Hugh Gage, a former resi­ dent of Wingham, and Cliff Coultes. Following dinner Mr, Coultes enter­ tained the club with a few recitations, for which he is well known, followed by Hugh Gage who entertained with his violin accompanied by Bill Connell at the piano. During the meeting several kinsmen were fined for various things with Jack Stephens drawing the maximum, followed closely by Andy Scott. Lorne MacDonald, who acted aS’ Sgt.-at- arms, had a very busy evening. Sec­ ond vice-president, Jack Gorbutt had every member, fined who had not seen a single bantam hockey game this season. Needless to say he made quite a haul. Of course Jack did not have to pay as he manages the team. Cal Burke was congratulated on the new addition to his family and was presented with a silver spoon by the club. The business part of the meeting was to decide upon the forming of a welfare committee to handle the re­ quest of the needy. Murray Taylor was elected chairman of this com­ mittee and was to choose two men as his assistants. The matter of the Kins­ men and the Kinettes sponsoring a one-act play for • the play festival sometime in April, was discussed. After the comments by Jack Mc- Knight as to what was expected from the club it was voted that Jack or­ ganize the actors for such a play and Jim Currie to be the director. * At the end of the meeting Cliff Coultes and Hugh Gage were thanked once again by president Rip and Andy Scott moved that the meeting be journed. is in need of money for its building program because of the slowness with which money from the participating municipalities was coming in. He felt that the payment of Wingham’s share' of $50,000 would do much to hasten the contributions which other muni­ cipalities pledged some time ago. The town council had already ap­ proved yie expenditure but had not taken the necessary measures to put it into effect. At Monday night’s meeting councillors voted unanimously for the new by-law. The debentures will be paid in twenty annual instalments. Council is hoping to be able to issue them at 4% at par. Will Up MiU Rate Slightly Reeve Roy Adair asked to what ex­ tent this expenditure would influence the mill rate. Town Clerk W. A, Galbraith said that payments on the1 debenture would add about 1% mills to the mill rate, but that this amount would be reduced by the fact that the last debenture payment on the present hospital wing will be paid this year. Payments on the new de­ benture will not commence until next year, Mr. Galbraith said, by which time payments on the old debenture will be finished. He estimated that the net increase in the mill rate would therefore be only about % mills. The mayor said that it might be possible to sell the debentures locally rather than through a bond house, since the, issue is not a large one. The high 'school debenture, issued by the town on behalf of the high school district last year, was sold through an investment dealer and brought par value at 4% interest. Council agreed with the mayor that the debenture should be issued as. soon as possible after permission had been obtained from the Municipal Board, so that the money would be available to the hospital at the ear­ liest possible moment. The motion to pass the new by-law was made and seconded by councillors W. F. Burgman and Jack Gorbutt. ad- Skaters at Toronto For Championships Twenty-one members of the Wing­ ham Figure Skating Club, along with figure skaters from Goderich, Sea­ forth and Clinton, journeyed by bus to Toronto on Saturday for the Can­ adian Figure Skating Championships at Varsity Arena.
