And did they ever try to out-do one another. First Buck would bellow then, Bill took a turn, and the rafters shook. If you happen to speak to either of these fellows this week don’t be surprised if they whisper. 0-0-0 The signal section was in lecture all evening with the MT under the direc­ tion of Sgt "Dinny’’ Montgomery, the. signallers are training for driver oper­ ators’ qualification, so they will be able to drive their own vehicles at camp and not have a personnel driver. After all only we Sgts are allowed personnel drivers, or at least we think we should be. We are not safe driv­ ing ourselves. Which reminds me of a little story of a man who was under the influuence of alcohol. Turning to his friend he said, "Show me to my car will you?’’ to which’ his friend replied, “Man you are in no shape to drive’’, “I’ll have to", “I can’t walk’’. 0 - 0 - The trumpet band down in the basement, minus the trumpets, leaving only the drums. Talk about drums along the Mohawk. The only drums that bothered me were my ear drums. It is really amazing how a little bit of pig’s hide stretched over a round piece of wood can make so much noise. Let’s hope \by spring the band is trained and can really put on a good show. If not they’d better beat it, and I don’t mean the drum. said the drunk, 0 was practicing was was The 0-0-0 The Regimental Orderly Room a sight to behold this week. It tidied up and really looked neat, main reason for this was the annual inspection from London. They inspect the paper work, commonly known as red-tape. While we are on the subject of the orderly room, we would like to congratulate one of our CWAC clerks, Iona Terry by name, who was promoted to Corporal. Congratula­ tions, Iona. Talk about the book "A maid and a million men", Iona took the NCO’s course with seventeen men and took the same foot drill, so she really earned her hooks. I could see me taking a NCO’s course with seven­ teen women. Quit dreaming, Windy. o-o-o That is all till next week.

Fans voted the game the best display of inter­ mediate hockey this year. The locals took an early lead in the first period when Bill Hilbert scored on a pass from Jack Lloyd, In spito of some fast action during the balance of the period, neither team scored. Both teams were also scoreless in the second period until the last min­ ute of play, when Johnny Crewson flashed the light on a pass from Hil­ bert. Scoring was freer in the final game, Murray Stainton opened up with a counter ip the first minute of play, with J. Dewbury and Ash coming up with one a piece for Harriston. Bill Lockridge sunk one for Wingham and Rome tallied for the visitors. Two final goals for the locals were notched by Maurice Stainton and Jack Lloyd. Although roughing was at a mini­ mum during the game, a total of nine­ teen penalties were handed out, in­ cluding one major. During the second frame Wingham players spent a total of twelve minutes in the sin bin, or over half the period with a man short. First Period Penalties —T. Lloyd inteference) 2.59; T.

Commercial League fair, whep it was held in the Turn­ berry Memorial Park, (if it can now be respectfully called that) and show­ ing cattle, I have often wondered why that fair was not continued, I have been told that the folks in town and the farm folk could not agree and so it fell through. I am told, it suffer* ed losses due to several bad years, with dirty weather and poor crowds. I am also told that the spring floods washed away the preparations as f&st as they were built. This I can under­ stand, located as it is. But, the fact remains rural and townsfolk in this area, are no different than in other areas. The weather is ’no different here, than anywhere else. If it should be that Wingham can­ not afford a fair, and the prepar­ations that would now b© necessary, then I offer another suggestion, Up at Cargill they have a lively agricul­ tural society that is doing a wonder­ ful job of improving the farming habits and methods of the surround­ ing area, and giving the young people a real start. The Cargill Agriculture Society, does not have a fall fair, or any other kind of a fair. They spon­ sor field crop competitions, calf clubs, swine clubs, and grain clubs for the juniors, and they ate making an excellent contribution- to their com­ munity. In this area, if it were not for a couple of already busy people, who are none the less conscientious. We would have- practically no junior work. I would suggest that we could look into this idea of an agriculture so­ ciety in Wingham, even if we cannot afford a fair. We could have many things that would help young people, and old people, rural and urban. I submit that we are definitely missing something, without one of these or- ganizations.

Last week the farm forums in Wes­ tern Ontario met to discuss the agri­ cultural fair, to< pass comments on it. and offer, criticism. It was one of the most interesting topics the forums have so far discussed, and perhaps the reason for this is the fact that everyone likes to go to a fair, every­ one enjoys the entertainment, and the educational features of such a show. As I was reading over the'many^ forum reports that went over my desk this week, it came to me that perhaps we in the town of Wingham and the surrounding area, are missing something vital in the development of a better agriculture, in the encourage­ ment of a better understanding be­ tween rural and urban people. If you take a few moments and go over a map of this section of the country, I think you’ll find only two urban centres of any appreciable size that do not have a fair of some sort. Those two centres are Goderich and Wingham, and both of them are locat­ ed in what we like to refer to, as the garden spot of the country, the cen­ tre of the agricultural wealth of Ont­ ario, the home of much industry, and we hope, the home of much more in the future. The agricultural fair, is rightly called the show-window of the community* It is not, as so many people would have you know, a cir­ cus, a midway, a place to spend your money without 'return. The agricult­ ural fair Is an education for your children, a lesson in living^ an oppor­ tunity to see some of the better things of life, to find out what we raise in our district There are people in our town who have never seen a fall fair, believe it or not. There are people who have a terribly wrong impression of an exhibition. They picture is a sink­ hole into which the town sinks Its money, a conglomeration of gypsies and gamblers. I am told by some of th© old-timers that at one time, Wingham had a first rate fair. I re­ member as a boy coming to Wingham GOSPEL HALL Regular Sunday Services Sunday School 10.15 son.
