The only source of income is the trapping which the men do in the winter. The fine government school accommodates the 31 children which Mr. Shynkar taught as well as having his two preaching stations. While telling of the needs of these people for food and clothing, he thanked the different organizations of the church for the parcels they had sent, particularly those of toys and books for the children. In closing he quoted from one of Peter Marshall’s books, “God taps everyone on the shoulder and says, I have need of you,’’ then asked how many people responded when God tapped them. i Rev. D. J. MacRae conducted the service and introduced the speaker. i Thurs., Fri., Sat., Marilyn Monroe Nov.. 24-25-26 Tom.

On Parade! by “Windy” The R.H.Q. and 99th Battery of the 21st Field Regiment, R.C.A., held their regular Monday night training and were honored by the visit of Col. G. C. Pangman, deputy commander of the 18th Militia Group Headquarters, who took a keen interest in the train­ ing being done by this unit. A very good turnout was on hand and train­ ing was in full swing.0-0-0 The most talked about subject of the evening was pay parade which will be next Monday night. That will be like an old boys reunion.. In other words, a lot of old faces will appear with their little hands outstreched for some loot. Only one catch to this. If they do so, all they will get is a hand­ ful of air as a member must have so many parades to his credit prior to Christmas before he is paid. The wailing wall is over this way, fellows. 0-0-0 Gun drill was held under the direc­ tion of those two characters, W.O.2 "Buck" Sinnamon and Sgt. “Couldn’t Matter Less” Wells. They seem to do more arguing between themselves, than giving, instruction. They should’ have a gun apiece and settle it with about ten rounds of fire. By the way, “Buck”, that was a very flattering picture of you drawn on the black­board. The artist seems to be very talented, but after all, I am an artist —I draw flies.0-0-0 The MT section was busy all even­ ing in lecture given by Old Windy, and the wind was really blowing, es­ pecially when Col. Pangman was pre­ sent. The subject was the mechanical function of an engine. The class seem­ ed real interested and the Colonel was pleased, which is a good thing or Old | Windy would be looking for a move or selling pencils on the corner. But then, I could always get a job as a reporter. All one has to have is the gift of the gab, pass the buck, shoot the breeze and make seven copies of each.0-0-0 The QM stores was a very tidy place for the evening. They, must have cleaned up the debris after the A-bomb went off. Gnr. Charlie Moore now reports a surplus in stores which is most uncommon, as follows: dirty coveralls, worn out boots, waste paper, useless personnel, oversize tape meas­ ures and clocks that won’t ^run. He further states that anyone interested in these articles, please contact him. 0, - 0 - G The ’band was out in full regalia along with the bandmaster, Sgt. “Happy Harry” Newell and went on a little route march through town as most people probably heard. Perhaps they are practising for the Santa Claus parade or tuning up for pay parade. In either case they sounded very good. 0 - 0 - b This is all for this week, folks, so until next week this is Old Windy re­ minding you that married women drive slower than married men be­ cause women will do anything to stay under thirty. So-long. 8 I The I With the Community Players By Joyce Larigridge Rehearsals for our play, “Alice-Sit- by-the-Fire” are progressing at the rate of two or three a week, Until last week one act was rehearsed each night, but from now on the acts will be gradually put together and a com­ plete run-through will be held at'each rehearsal,, This week, examination week at the high school, rehearsals will not be held, as three teachers and two pupils are involved in the play. We’ve been very fortunate to have been promised the use of two mantle pieces by Mrs, Harley Crawford and Mrs. Robert Hetherington. Our play needs a change of scene in the second act, which means that we’ll need two lots of furniture and fixtures. We would appreciate the donation of any paintings or gilded leaves and weeds to lend atmosphere to the first act. If you have anything of this nature, please call Phyllis Hamilton, of the property committee. 0-0-0 Several members of the Wingham Community Players attended a per­ formance of “The Curious Savage” by John Patrick last week. This was the first three-act play produced by the Goderich Little Theatre in twelve years. The play was directed by Marione Johnston, of Stratford, Miss Johnston is a member of the Stratford Little Theatre and has appeared in the 1954-55 Stratford Shakespearean Festival. Eleven members of the Goderich Club gave a very moving and • unfor­ getable performance with Jessie Holmes playing the lead role. The play was set in a home for the mentally infirm. The audience was held for the whole performance be­ tween laughter and pity for the lov­ able and simple inmates. Instead of a curtain call at the end of the play there was a tableau, which was very well done. A critic who came up from London especially praised the club for this. He mentioned that when this play was presented in London by the Little Theatre there, they did not attempt the tableau. The play was well worth the time and effort spent going over to Goderich.
