Rtissell, from. for- mer Winghamites sending greetings at this 61st Anniversary of the Wingham Corps, are two, from Mrs. A, E, Sim- mons at Calgary and Major A, G. Ash- by now of Chattanogga, Tennessee, U. S. A, Mrs. Simmons writes, "My husband and myself were two of the first mem- bers of The Salvation Army in Wing- ham. Mr. Simmons was commissioned the first Sergeant-Major and I was the first Corps Secretary. I would like to send greetings from myself and family. I am still a soldier at Calgary, Alber- ta, having left Brandon four years ago due to ill health. Up to that time I had been an active local officer in the Brandon Citadel Corps." Mrs. Sim- mons tells how she has been twenty years a League of Mercy worker( vol- untary and sick visitation) and bears the Salvation Army Long Service bad- ge.- She continues, "Needless to say I have enjoyed every moment spent in the S. A. work. My son Archie, who was a bandman 'in the Wingham Band, received an invitation to be present at ,your anniversary services. At present I am 'writing from Kenora where I am visiting with hiM and his family. 16 Would love to be with you for your services, but I do not feel able to make the trip at this time." Recalling some of the old faithfuls of the corps, Mrs. Simmons' letter concludes, "To all I would like to say 'God Bless You' and keep the Old Flag flying." Now Officef In U.S. Major A. G. Ashby of the Tennessee Citadel Corps, where he is now the Commanding Officer, writes, '1 wish it were possible for me to visit Wing- ham for the anniversary meeting. I was converted February 12th, 1906, in a Methodist Church revival and be- came a Salvationist in 1907, and at that time we were having wonderful reviv- al meetings in 'The Army, anti the band grew and became a great blessing to the town. Since I left Wingham I have only returned twice with the Canadian Staff Band. 'I also passed through the town and visited the Lloyds in 1938, when 1 was home from Africa. The Lloyds were a great blessing to The Army in its early days there. In fact as I under- stand it Mr. Albert Lloyd gave most of the timber for 'the building of the present S. A. Hall, and in 1906-07 all the btiSiness men in town used to at- tend the free and easy services on Sun- day afternoon. The early Salvationist there was Mr, George Mason at the book store. But I had, better cease reminiscing or my secretary will weary of writing all the many things I could say about the Christian Army that was before The Salvation Army some 61 .years ago. The late Mr. Lloyd and late Mr. Mason and other business men have told me about those days, Be assured of our prayers for your 61st anniver- sary. Rev. E. 0.

The game at times nearly turned into a boxing match. About midway through the game Kennedy, the Seaforth hurler, charged Neirgarth at second and a fight started. This was only the preliminary round for the feature attraction was in the eighth when Foster crashed into the Seaforth first baseman. The unthink- ing crowd quiekly covered the diamond and for a time it looked as if the ball game was over, After many arguments the field was cleared and play resumed. It was claimed that there was no police pro- tection, but three stalwarts were on hand, possibly they should have step- ped in sooner, but, they thought it was just a minor flare-up. Excitement of this kind may please the fans but it isn't good sport. The umpires were Tim Connelly and Ken Scott of Stratford. The }text game will be played in Seaforth. Thursday evening with the third game, in Wingham Tuesday night of next week. BOWLERS ENJOY WESTERN TRIP A letter was received this week from Art Wilson, who with Mrs. Wilson and Mr. and Mrs. A. M.

A. A. And- erson, of London, 'district engineer, Department of Public Works told a meeting in Toronto arranged by the Kincardine Harbor Development Com- mission and attended by representa- tives of both Canadian Railway Sys- tems, industrial. firms and 'other inter- ested groups which included Mr. F, R. Howson of town. " Col. Anderson said approaches to a harbor here would be quite' satis- factory. Principal difficulty, said A. Walker, general freight agent, for Can- adian Pacific Railways, would be to Procure assent of railway commission- ers for a second line to be built to Kincardine, since the Railway Act of 1933 prohibits duplication, of services. Grain interests would not consider using the port unless two rail lines served it. J. A, Argo, freight traffic agent for Canadian National Railways said his railway is interested in the develop- ment here, Purpose of its construction would be to suivierrient elevator service in the wide area at present served by the elevator at Goderich,. 33 miles away.

Since membership, is available only through one, of these groups a low yearly rate has been made possible. 'The plan is based on co-operative prin- +ciples so that ,the members own, con- trol and operatethe service. During this year an educational pro- ' gram has been carried on by the com- mittee in charge with the idea of giv ing every group in Huron an oppor- tunity to become acquainted with the Titles and regulations' under which the -plan is to operate.

Huron Co-operative Medical Set, vices became effective on August 1st with about two hundred and forty, ap- plications from families and individual members of groups that had completed the canvas, and with numerous other groups preparing to Make application, This is not a money making plan but it is a plan that offers an honest service "at a reasonable rate, It is also a plan which can extend its ser- vice at the will of the members. It is starting on a modest stale but there is no Unlit to its possibilities,' Its sue- cess depends Ott the Support given to it by the -people of the county and there it strong evidence that its value is being recognized and that Many More groups will avail theiriSeIVes of the benefits which have been placed at their disposal by the inauguration of this service.
