tiff the field have been of the very high•
vet calibre. Their games have all been
crowd-pleasers and deserving of the
really fine .ettendauce at their games.
It is •a- long tine sinee eleuppionship
in any branch of sport has come to
Wingbain and these boys have brought
great honor and distinction to their
home town,.
Winghain fans are fortunate in being
able to leok forward to future years of
the 'same brand of winning ball by
these splendid young athletes in the
ame or higher divisions of the W,0,-

Sam Burton,. the Recreational Council,
le Managers and toaches of the eeame
and all others who had a hand in this
notable achievement, Two special.
"thank-yous" must go to smiling Alex.

WHISTLE •BLOWING
NUISANCE
Excessive and continuous whistle-
blowing by C.N.R. and C.P.R. trains
has Tang been a nuisance to Wingham
residents who live near the tracks. In
le horse-and-buggy days there may
have been some reason or at least an
excuse for this noise, but those days
are long since past.
• In this motor age few, if any, motor-
ists ever hear the whistle that is sup-
posed to warn them of approaching
trains. Cars and trucks travel so fast
that they often out-speed the•trains and
hey depend for more on vision than
. sound to ensure safe operation. Warn-
ing signs and vision are the best safe-
guards for both motorists and pedes-
trians at railway crossings,
?Many engineers and firemen have
long taken a fiendish delight in making
as trench noise as possible with their
whistle-blowing as they sitar and pass
throagh towns, villages and hamlets,
Some like to let friends and relatives
know they are at the throttle by whis-
tle signals and others just like to make
A racket and disturb the general peace,
It is time some action is taken by the
local council to see that trainmen con-
fine their whistle-bloning to the ab-
solute minimum consistent with pUb-
lie safety.
* *
NO PARKING AREAS
Now that "No Parking" signs have
been placed on the left hand side of
all streets in the first block leading off
Main (Josephine) street, there is a no-
ticeable improvement in traffic condi-
tions entering and leaving our business'
section of the town.
Once more we feel constrained to ad-
vocate the abolition of all angle park-
ing on Josephine street and the en-
forcement of a strict parallel parking
.law for the business areas, It also
seems logical to suggest that a short
section of the curbs be removed by
local labor to evaluate cost and worth, •* * .*
RECORD TOURIST SEASON
If the weather holds good for a few
more weeks, Ontario will likely exceed
last year's revenue of $107,000,000 from
the tourist business. In the past eight
months 753,000 American touring par-
ties have crossed the border for more
than 48 hour's, as compared at this
time last year. August this year show-
ed an increase of tourists of 23 per
cent over August, 1946, and May, June
and July also set records.
If the proposed measure in 1Vash-
'ngton, permitting Americans to bring
back $500 in Canadian goods duty free,
instead of .the present $100, goes
- through, "it will be a tremendous shot
in the arm to the whole tourist bus-
iness." The tourist business has ,be-
come "big business" in Canada and it
promises to become even larger in the
future if we cater to it as we should. * * *
NEW UN PRESIDENT
GIVES WARNING
Dr. Oswaldo Aranha of Brazil, the
new president of the United Nations
. General Assembly, recently set a war-
.. or-peace theme at the opening meet-
ing of the assembly, when he warned
the delegates of the importance of the
ession. He told them that they had a
plain choice between a socess that.
would •solidify the peace and a failure
that would mean another war.
He said, "the truth is that the United
Nations have been able to do very
little. since the last sessio-n," and he
told the delegates that they were faced
,with many questions, but that they
narrowed down to one: "Whether the
road selected will lead to' peace or to
•strife." He declared that the aim -of
the assembly was not to keep the pence
through political balance, but to use
every measure, every teaching, every
faith t,' make the idea of war abhorent.
warned that "the challenge must
e met, that the world may not perieh.",

NORTHERNMOST WEATHER
STATION CANADIAN
,Canada will hare the most northerly
weather station in the world on corn-
pktion of a meteorological project 'on
Eureka Sound, which is just 600 miles
from the North Pole. The station is
one of a chain being erected along the
Arctic rim, at a cost of $4,000,000.
These new meteorological stations
will make possible much more accur-
ate weather forcasting and these
weather reports will be of very great
value in making air transport safer in
all parts of the Dominion.
