The parking situation is very serious On Wingharix's main street, Josephine St., nearly every Saturday and holiday. There' are a few salient facts that have .ibearing on this situation, which should be considered, In the first place visitors and customers are entitl- ed to the courtesy and consideration of being given preference. • This is also good business, Therefore Josephine Street should always be left available as a convenient parking place for out- of-town cars. It is also just plain common sense to say that most customers will deal where they get the best service,. and a convenient parking place in front of a store or office 'is certainly a conven- ience. For years this service has often been lacking because local cars took up all the space along the curbs. This, condition should be , remedied and, SHERBONDY'S COFFEE SHOP MEALS LUNCHES FOUNTAIN SERVICE Delicious Ice Cream Sodas and Sundaes Bricks always available 111011111101111•Numfo•Imir Next to Lyceum Theatre WINGHAM REGULAR Palmolive Soap , 3 - 25c Palmolive Soap 2 - 23c Pkg.

There are two classes of local offend- ers who have "hogged" the best park- ing spaces for years. The first class is the local merchants and business men, who certaijilY should know better than to adopt such a shortsighted practice. They have the habit of park- big their own cars in front ,of their Authorized as Second Class own premises and thereby curtail the 1444 Post Office Department, 'already limited spce available for the cars of their customers and clients. Many of these same business men and merchants have Served acceptably on Wingham Town Councils and they have thus been able to veto any town by-laws that, might have rectified things, The second class of offendds in- chides many local citizens; who are car owners, and who have formed the habit of parking along the main street on Saturdays and holidays; and who ei- ther carry on a "sit-down strike" and thus "hog" the parking space or leave their cars there as n handy meeting place when they want to drive the block . or two _home, Most local cit- izens live within easy walking distance of Main St., and, for those who live farther away, there is always plenty of parking space on Ed;vard and'Cen- tre-.streets- which are only one block away from Main street, Se, there are really no good reasons ‘Nhy local merchants, business men and others should park their cars on Jose- phine Street on Saturdays , and holi- days, Nearly every person is familiar with the old, out-moiled, time-worn excuses continually being given for the continuance of this short-sighted prac- tice, One such excuse is that some merchants carry .considerable cash .home after business hours and it.. is safer to have their cars near at hand at such times. That really. is just an excuse, not a . reason, for a few feet either way wouldn't prevent. a hold-up. -Anyway, surely the lanes at • the rear of most business places should make satisfactory parking places, Human nature being naturally sel- fish, only local by-laws, strictly en= forced will ever bring about a better- ment in the parking situation in Wing- ham- on Saturdays and holidays. Un• doubtedly it ,is in the hest- interests of all local merchants, ..business men and other citiaens to leave the Main. street as a parking place for out-of- town cars, so why not enact suck laws. and have• them enforced? Also,. how about one or two parking lots handy to the Main 'street The horse and buggy days are over and changed con- ditions demand ways of solving our traffic problems." .41 • UN SCORES A .GREAT TRIUMPH The United Nations Security Coun- cil has apparently scored a great tri- umph and stopped a war, That is by far the greatest achievement of UN up to the present date, Fighting in the two-week war in Java has been temporarily stopped at least by "cease fire" cOmmands.issued to both Dutch and Indonesian troops by the Security Council, It is perhaps premature te' claim a complete UN success yet, as there is some doubt whether the Indonesian authorities have absolute control ,. of their troops, but there seems no rea- son to question the good faith of the "cease fire" instructions, The restor- ation of peace will be due wholly to this action by the Security Council, At the very least; UN has won a great- moral victory in, striking con- trast to its failure recently to grapple effeetively'.with the .Balkan, issue. That failure, of course, was due entirely to the Soviet Union's use of the veto power,. The Russians are interested in. promoting- Communist military-. at7 tacks on Greece and they voted against posting a UN 'Commission on - -the Greek . frontier and thereby defeated the proposal, Britain and France did not believe a reference of the -Indone- sian question to the Security Council was the best way to deal with it, but. they waived their powers of veto by. abstaining from voting on the- question. The ensuing negotiations will be dif- ficult and probably acrimonious; but it is better that the Dutch and then former colonial subjects should argue than shoot one another. A, war has been stopped by UN intervention and tharis a tremendous event, It augurs well for- the. future, * C . - • VANGUARD OF IMMIGRANTS ARRIVE Recently, the first step in the great venture of . bringing 7,000 .
