The Tie-up Of Last Week Made Old Timers Talk Of Other Big .Storms When the wind and snow were do- ing their worst to tie up the roads and block the trains last week, it appeared as though we Would be isolated here for a long time, but as the storm sub- sided and the plows on the railways and roads got to work things brighten- ed up. The last trains to come in during the storm were the noon trains Tues- day, the C.P.R, not arriving until about 5 o'clock. It went on to Tees- water but did not arrive there until released by a plow Thursday after- noon. The passengers were taken off and either were pulled' on toboggans to Teeswater or snow shoed there. The train was stuck in McGlynn's cut about 2% miles from Teeswater. This train came back through here on Fri- day, went to Mount Forest and return- ed to Teeswater late in the afternoon. On Tuesday the night C.N.R. train was cancelled and the next train to arrive was Friday noon and there was no train that night. Regular schedules of passenger trains have been run since. The plows worked hard on the high- ways, there was just one plow working out of here at first. The highways were plugged solid. Belgrave was iso- lated until Thursday near noon when the plow got through from here and there was a rush for bread. Friday evening the plow got to Blyth and during ,Saturday night the plow from here met the Caterpillar the other side of .Londesboro to open the road to Clinton. The highway to Lucknow was then tackled and it was opened early Monday morning. The highway to Listowel was open- ed for traffic by Monday and the road to Harriston was opened through to that town Tuesday afternoon. On Monday a plow went out the Teeswater road as far a Keifer's Hill but the snow piled up there was too much for the light plow and on Tues- day afternoon a caterpillar plow went through and on to the Durham road getting through during the night. This plow will open up the road from Lucktiow to Amberley to-day (Wed- nesday) and then operate on highway 21 which is still in bad shape. The drift on Keifer's Hill is so high that one could build a roof over it and a large truck could drive through the tunnel so formed. Mr, W. H, Gurney, Mr. and Mrs. C. B, Armitage, Graham Anderson, Mrs. Harry Wells and Mrs. John Mc- Kay were in Toronto when the storm broke, and had great•difficulty getting back to Wingham. FltaLieuts James Thompson and his wife, were going home for a leave from the West, they got to Palmerston and then rode the plow to Listowel. To Train As Nurses On Monday morning Misses Marg- aret Connell and Louise Lloyd left for Toronto where they will enter St, Michaels Hospital as Nurses-in-train- ing, On Tuesday Miss Nora Van- Camp, formerly of the Dominion St&re staff, entered Victoria Hospital, Lon- don, where she will take a similar course. Honored At Dinner Party The staff of the Bell Telephone Company held 'a dinner party in the Brunswick Hotel on Friday evening in honour of Mr. Mac Graham, who will leave o Saturday to report ""for duty on the R,C.A.11% He was pre- sented with a beautiful leather zipper- ed travelling ease.

Mr. Graham came to Wingham 'with the Bell Telephone 'CoMpany from Durham about five years ago and has made a host of friends in this eonitutittity who wish him every success, Mrs, Graham will reside in Lucknow with hei• parents for the present. Had Face Frozen Mr. W. H, Fraser had an experience last week that he will long remember, Mr. Fraser operates a farm on the first line of Morris and when the storm Was going strong on Tuesday afternoon last week he started to walk from his farm to his home on the Diagonal Road, a distance of about four Miles. He had 'his face frozen and was very tired, During the trip home he had to stop and test several times but for a Man of 'his years, 7l, he must have summoned all his strength to fight that distance through the storm, He was confined• to Ms home for a few days and was quite badly 'upset by the experiende.

BIBLE TEACHING IN THE SCHOOLS Many IVIunicipalities Have Adopted This Plan Bible teaching in the Public Schools is the livest topie for discussion bY public school boards to-day. In the County of .Huron every town, but one 'has Bible Teaching taught in the schools by the local clergy, at the re- quest of ' the Board, Recently the Board of Education at Goderich has requested the Clergy to give 13ible intruction in the Collegiate Institute as well. 'I wen ty-f our municipalities in the County of Grey have encouraged the teaching of the Bible in the schools,: and many of the towns in Bruce.. Lucknow has had Bible teaching in the schools for the past twelve years,' undertaken weekly by the ministers, and last week Kincardine schools be- gan similar instruction. Toronto is: conducting classes in Bible teaching in some grades as well as London, and Owen Sound carries out the plan of teaching in all schools and in all grades. Fifteen counties intluding Huron have asked the Department tos provide for religious instruction in both Primary and Secondary Schools and the cities of Kitchener, Waterloo, Hamilton, Brantford, Fort William and Niagara Falls supported a similar resolution, In the past six months 40 school_ boards have requested the Depart- ment to provide for Bible Instruction in the schools each week. All this is, evidence of the recognition by- edu- cational authorities that it is impos- sible to teach anyone his duty towards his neighbor apart from his duty to- wards God, upon which this relation- ship of brotherhood ultimately arises..
