The Wingham Advance-Times, 1947-03-06, Page 1Single Copies Five Cents THIS STORM OR FORTY- TIIREE YEARS AGO? 'The Big Storm of 1904 Similar To This Year 'Reading the old file papers of' The 'Times in 1904, telling of the big snow storm of that year, it compares in near- ly every detail to this year's continued storms. The one big difference was the extreme cold of that year, in Jan- uary the temperature dropped to 20 .below zero. In the issue of January 21st, 1904, 'we read of the start of the storm, and in each succeeding issue until March 10th, it carried on like a continued story. Each week's storm blocked the -railways for a day or two,, until the daddy of them all 'started the latter part of February and continued until March 3rd. This time there, were no 'trains in or out of Wingham for ten. 'days. The first train arrived from London on March 8th, after gangs of :men had shovelled the ice and snow off 'the tracks to near Blyth where they 'were met by men working from Clin- ' 'ton, . , Now, do a bit of comparing—This year the first bad storm was about January 21st; each week, like that of 1904, we have had repeated storms. To- day, March 4th, looks as if the storm is oVer, or at .least we hope so, In all, it sounds like that of 1904 except that ,'the trains have only been blocked for the past two days. The C.N.R. plow headed for Kin- cardine early Monday morning, was derailed at Ethel and as yet, has not been put back on the track. After that it will take some hard work to break through the drifts to open the line. • On Tuesday the Wingham Public School was cancelled on account of the storm. The Provincial plows, .after laying off until the storm looked as if it was finished, started out late Tuesday af- *.ternoon, but were having extreme -difficulty.

Referee, flit It Mitt g, Witighatit, Our men and women back from the world battlefields often tell how the Red Cross was there to aid and corn- fort them, oftentimes to save their lives. Now the Red Cross asks those who ex- tended such solid support during the war years to help keep the Red Cross strong in peace, Today there are thousands of sick and disabled veterans who need the continued held and friendship of the Red Cross. Isolated frontier commun- ities need Outpost Hospitals and nurs- ing service, their only medical aid. Crippled Children's Hospitals must be maintained and expanded. Men, wo- men and children across. Canada need the Blood Transfusion Service the Red Cross has started to supply. Will you continue to lend your help to sick and suffering humanity, The Red Cross work is your work, A Red Cross Canvasser will be call- ing at your house. Please co-operate with him. He is giving his time vol- untarily, and he has a number of other calls to make. Wingham's Objective is $3000.00, so make your contributions as GEN- 'EROUS as Possible, Official receipts will be issued for all donations. Dona tions may be deducted from your In- come Tax. Anything . over one dollar makes you a member, Leaflets will be distributed to Wingham residents through the Post Office. Study them, they contain much valuable information.

We take much pleasure in publishing the Membership Roll of The Wingliam General 'hospital Association. The campaign fox membership, in the As- sociation was an entirely separate and different drive to The Building Fund Campaign. The Building Fund Cam- paign though very successful did not reach the required objective and $18,- 000.00"was still owing when the Hospi- tal opened on October 3rd. last year. By action of the Board all funds from the Membership Campaign for 1947 were turned over to the Building Fund to pay off this debt. During the Building Fund Cam- paign many generous supporters re- quested that there be no publicity in connection with their contribution 'and due to these requests it ,was decided not to miblish any names of donors to this fund. There were those who supported the Building Fund Campaign who-felt that they had already given their share and who, because of this not join the Association,, .The Hospital Board ma- kes grateful acknowledgement of this support and of the splendid spirit of continuing interest in our Hospital from this group.

INCREASE LIKELY IN BUTTER PRICE An advance of up to 10 cents in the price of butter May 1 was regarded as a distinct possibility at Ottawa on Fri- day as rumors circulated that the Gov- ernment would discontinue part .or all of its producers' subsidy April 30. Although Price Board Officials re- fused to comment, observers recalled Agriculture Minister Gardiner last fall announced the Government's intention to review the situation before the dead- line, They recalled that similar sub- sidies on milk were removed last fall with consequent increases, in the retail price. Present price of butter in Canada ranges from 42 to 47 cents a pound. In a brief covering the whole field of farm production, the Canadian Fed- eration of Agriculture today asked the Federal Cabinet to allow an increase in ceiling prices of dairy products. The brief blamed butter shortages on ,the small returns farmers were receiving for their produce. DANCE AT ROYAL T Every Saturday evening from 9 to 12. Ken Wilbee's Orchestra, Moderate admission.
