Seems Herb Fuller and Dee Miller were custodians • of the neighborhood fireworks up there, and had got about half through with the business when ax lighted fire­ cracker got into the arsenal. The rest is history. Everybody concedes that it was a fine display while it lasted, but the trouble was it didn't last long, 0-0-0 GERANIUMS, Y E T—Wingham’s famous flowerpots have come out with a new look this year, with each •pot containing a couple of gorgeous geraniums, along with the rest of the greenery. About twenty new flower­ pots have been added-, with the west side of the street getting double­ headers and single pots on the east side.' Looks as if the flowerpots are going to do even more to liven up the main drag than last year. c- 0-0-0 JUST LIKE AUGUST—The week­ ends’ unseasonal heat wave was more reminiscent of August than May, but it didn’t seem to prevent anyone from ' doing what comes naturally. Tues­ day’s heat didn’t discourage golfers, ’who chose that afternoon to par up the course. ■ 0-0-0 GREATER LOVE, ETC.—A Well- known local angler, fishing for the elusive brown trout in the river, made . the supreme sacrifice on Tuesday evening, after snagging up on a log In the bottom of the Maitland. Quick­ ly doffing his clothes, he jumped in after the lure, and after disentangling the line stayed in for a little swim. With the price of fishing lures being what it is, we don’t blame him. 0-0-0 FIRECRACKERS?—When the peacefulness of Sunday morning was shattered by the fire siren, we had visions of Wingham’s biggest industry going up in smoke. Fortunately the fire at Lloyd’s factory was of a minor nature, a cart full of wood outside the building having caught fire. Firemen had the blaze quickly under control.

On Thursday last, Mrs. Nelson Hodgins, of Ripley suffered a lacer­ ated chin while visiting in town. She was treated- at the hospital and allowed to go home. Mrs. Jack Taylor, R.R. 1, Belgrave, received a dislocated shoulder on Friday, when she attempted to pre-’ vent her child from being mauled by an angry cow. The shoulder was reduced under local anaesthetic, after which she was allowed to go home. A fall in her home resulted in a fractured right-wrist for Mrs.'Harold Procter, R.R, 5, Brussels. She was admitted to hospital where the frac­ ture was reduced under general an­ aesthetic and a cast applied. Her condition was described as satisfac­ tory. On Saturday Glenn Plant, 11-year- old son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Plant, R.R. 2, Bluevale, received a painful injury to his finger while playing ball at school.

Mrs. Walker left the baby in his carriage at about 8.30 on Wednesday morning, after he had had his break­ fast. She returned shortly before 10 o'clock to find that the baby had in some way drawn the plastic mattress cover over his head and had smother­ ed. Dr. R. B.

The meeting opened with the 4-H pledge, Mr; Cruikshank gave a worth­ while talk on the care arid manage­ ment of swine, after *which a class of market hogs was judged. The Club leader, Mr. C. R.

Work on the new television set-up at CKNX has been marking time during the past few weeks, pending the arrival of the Department, of Transport’s license for the station, according to Vin Dittmer, CKNX sales manager; Station personnel is “geared to start work on television,” but is waiting for the official sanction. The CKNX application for a license was approved by the CBC Board of Governors on April 18, which- clears the way for the issuing of a license by the Department of Transport. A time lag of between six to ten weeks normally elapses before the granting of a license, and definite arrange­ ments for installing equipment for television cannot be made until the license is received. In the meantime technical opera­ tions are being set up as far as pos­ sible, Scott Reid, Bill Harris and Don Hildebrand have been rehearsing with a television camera, borrowed 'for practice operations. Valuable experi­ ence in setting up the camera has been gained, and a program of visit­ ing. other television stations in opera­ tion will give personnel an insight into the work. Instill in Three Months Actual installation of station equip­ ment is expected to take from three to six months after the license is granted. The parcel of land in Car­ rick Township on which the trans­ mitter will be built has been purr- chased in readiness. It is expected that renovations at the old Wingham District High School will be started in the near future, although it may be some time before television per­ sonnel is installed there. , Preliminary work on programs for the new station nas been under way for some time. It is expected that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation programs will occupy about four hours of the station’s time, between 5 and 6 o’clock' and between 8 and 11.15 in the evening. Principal time for local programs is expected to be between 6 and 8 o’clock. Tentative plans call for an hour- long local program including sports, weather, farm news and women’s news. The program is expected to be of an informal nature, with the var­ ious departments running on a fairly loose schedule. When can Wingham audiences ex­ pect local TV? That’s the $64 question that nobody around CKNX is pre­ pared to answer yet. But it won’t be before October 1st., and the people in the know are guess­ ing “sometime 'before Christmas.” If the Department of Transport co-oper­ ates, that is. In the meantime everybody at CKNX is impatient to get started. "Everything’s ready to go as soon as we get the license,” says Mr. Ditt­ mer. “All we need is the green light.” Earles H.

BLYTH TRABE FAIR WAS OPENED BY TELEPHONE The third annual Western Ontario Trade Fair was officially opened in Blyth last week by an Ontario Cabi­ net Minister who remained in his own living room in Hamilton to per­ form the ceremony. The opening remarks were made by Hon. William K. Warrender, Q.C., Minister of Planning and Develop­ ment, in a long distance telephone call which travelled over both land lines and by radio. The address was received at Blyth over a mobile telephone located in a Bell Telephone Company car, and then broadcast over loud speakers connected with the telephone. The car was pne of two Bell vehic­ les, both equipped with telephones, located in front of the Blyth Com­ munity Hall, site of the ceremony. A white tape strung between the vehic­ les, at the entrance to the building and fair grounds where the W.O.T.F. shank, general manager of radio stat- was held, was cut by W. T. Cruick- ion CKNX, in Wingham. The three-day fair, a community venture which is rapidly gaining wide fame, was then under way. Featured were some 250 exhibits of machinery, materials and services ranging from agricultural equipment and electrical appliances to the mobile telephone service. Driving force behind the project is A. H. Wilford, a native of this dis­ trict, who now resides in Toronto. He organized his first fair, a one-day show, in 1953. It was such a success that it was decided to make the fair both exhibitors and visitors from an annual event and it now attracts points throughout Western Cntario. Japanese Priest Is Speaker at Meeting of Anglican Deanery Representing parishes throughout the Deanery of Huron, members of the Clergy Chapter and Woman’s Auxil­ iary delegates gathered in St. Paul’s Church Wingham for the annual spring deanery meeting. The opening service of Holy Com­ munion was .conducted by the Rev. H. L Parker, rector of St. Paul’s and rural dean of Huron, assisted by the Rev. N. D. Knox, rector of Trivett Memorial Church, Exeter. The W.A. then met for its business meeting in the basement of St. An­ drew’s Presbyterian Church while the Clergy Chapter met in the rectory. Following luncheon served in the parish room by the Ladies Guild of St. Paul’s, a joint meeting was held in the basement of St. Andrew’s Church with the rural dean as chairman. Greetings were brought to the meet­ ing by the Rev. Alex Nimmo, minister of St. Andrew’s Church and moderator of the Hamilton-London Synod of the Presbyterian Church. The Venerable J. N. H. Mills, diocesan commission­ er, before introducing the guest speak­ er, gave a vivid account of his seven week journey through the mission diocese of Athabasca outlining condi­ tions and needs as he found them in the church in the west. The guest speaker was the Rev. Paul Ken Imai of Tokyo, Japan, a priest of the Nippon Sei Ko Kai, (the Holy Catholic Church in Japan.) After outlining the history of his native Japanese church Mr. Imai ex­ pressed the feelings of the Japanese Christians during the Second World War. The Church in Japan is now autonomous with native bishops and clergy who are leading the rapidly growing church into new fields of evangelism. As a fellow member of the worldwide Anglican commuriion of Nippon Sei Ko Kai is ark'ng the church in Canada to continue her support primarily in pre yer and then in resources until the Japanese church is able to become fully self-supporting. In moving towards this goal the native clergy have accepted small salaries even though as Mr. Imai pointed out, prices today in Japan are comparable to those in Canada. As the clergy and W.A. members listened to the address of this young Japanese priest and saw the light of Jesus Christ shining in his personality they realized what tremendous work has been done by the missionaries in Japan and what work still lies ahead. Mr. Imai closed his address by sing­ ing two hymns from the Japanese hymn book where the tunes were the same as those found in the Canadian hymn book. Following a question period the rural dean led in prayers for the Japanese church and the meeting was closed by Mr. Imai with “The Grace” spoken in Japanese. The installation of the officers of the deanery of Huron branch of the W.A. was conducted in St. Paul’s by the rural dean with the Rev. P. K. Imai receiving the promises from the officers as they stood at the chancel steps. William Connell was organ­ ist for this service as he was for the opening Communion service. Tea was served to the delegates after the installation service. The officers of the deanery branch of the W.A. are: President, Miss D. Parker, Seaforth; 1st vice-pres., Mrs. R. H. Middleton, Hensail; 2nd vice- pres., Mrs. F. Hunt, Goderich; sec’y. -treas., Mrs. J. B. Higgins, Bayfield; Dorcas sec’y., Mrs. W. Connell, Wing­ ham; girl’s sec’y., Mrs. R. Bulteel, Clinton; J. A. sec’y., Mrs. H. Parker, Wingham; Little Helper's sec’y., Mrs. W. Middleton, Exeter; life member­ ship sec’y., Mrs. D. Woodcock, Blyth; educational sec’y;, Mrs. S, Middleton, R.R. Clinton; prayer partner sec’y., Mrs. R. H. Middleton, Hensail; candi­ dates sec’y., Mrs, D. Wilson, Gode­ rich; social service sec’y., Mrs. D. J. Allan, Goderich. and win- be due for a third shortly before Christmas. Pupils of Grade 3, who received their first dose at the high school last Thursday, will receive another in­ jection in June, and the final dose in January or February. As far as is known only the first three grades will be inoculated this year. Present supplies pf the vaccine are limited, and it is thought that the younger pupils are most susceptible and should be protected first. A pos­ sibility that older pupils might be immunized at a later date has been canvassed but no official word has been received to date on this possibil­ ity. It is also anticipated that private physicians will receive a supply of the new vaccine for their patients when the supply becomes more plentiful. No Reactions Miss Mary Love and Miss Janet Thomson, who assisted Dr. Aldis in his inoculation of local children, report that there have been no reactions to the vaccine on the part of the child­ ren and that the immunization pro­ gram has passed off smoothly in Wingham. The contribution of a large number of all-day suckers by the Laura Secord Candy Company has (assisted materially in preserving the well-being of the children who were inoculated. Inoculations are being conducted only under the express approval of the parents. Over 90% of the parents are reported to have approved the inoculations, in spite of newspaper reports of difficulties in the immuni­ zation program in the United States. FRANK MADILL NAMED PRESIDENT AT HURON COUNTY TB MEETING Members of Huron County Tuber­ culosis Association, meeting at Clin­ ton, elected the following officers for the coming year: Honorary president, Judge Frank Fingland, Clinton; hon­ orary treasurer, Harold C. Lawson, Clinton; president, F. E. Madill, Wing­ ham, who succeeds F. J. Snow; vice- president, Gordon Knight, Brussels; W. R. Gardner and F. D. Blakely, of Goderich, to - the executive council. According to Mrs. J. B. Russell, of Seaforth, secretary-treasurer, $3,168 was sent for x-ray charges and medi­ cal supervision at chest clinics in Huron County in 1954. The meeting learned that in the period April 1, 1954 to March 31, 1955, there were 10 first admissions from Huron County and four second admissions to the • Beck Memorial Sanitorium in Lon­ don. This compares with 14 first ad­ missions and six second admissions the year previous. Dr. Wm. C. Sharpe, of Beck Mem­ orial Sanitorium, spoke to the group on the mass x-ray which is being planned for Huron County in April, 1956. "Although there is a slight decrease in the number of admissions in sana­ toriums there is an increase in. the reactivated cases. We must have a much better program of case findings. With a higher per cent of recoveries,” said Dr. Sharpe, “there is an increased problem of getting the patient back into civilian life.” Trevor Pierce, of the Ontario Tub­ erculosis Association, stressed value of the voluntary spirit in all phases of the TB Association. He remarked that it is the traditional roll of the voluntary workers to be pioneers. J. H. Kinkead, of Goderich, express­ ed appreciation of the work of Retir­ ing President, Mr. Snow.
