The Wingham Advance-Times, 1947-10-16, Page 1With Which is Amalgamated The Gorrie News and Wroxeter Vidette Single Coples--Five Cents IVI WINGHA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16th, 1947 Subscription, $2.09 a Year in•Advance OM. A well attended and enthusiastic . meeting was held in the Council Cham- bers on Thursday evening of last -week and was presided over by Mayor Kennedy, The main subject for dis- cussion was the housing problem in O Wingham and how it could be remed- ied. Mr. Darey, a representotiVe of the National Housing Administration ad- dressed the meeting and explained the three ways houses could be construct- • ed through Government assistance. The first was by any individual en- tering into agreement with the Nation- al Housing to erect a house. Plans first must be submitted and if appro.* ••O a joint loan of approximately 80 ,per cent would be arranged through an Insurance Co. and the National Hous- ing. The second plan was to have a con- , tractor. enter a contract to build ten -or more houses, to be financed the same as the first, but by contracting for ten or more a priority for material 'is given. Through these two plans a prospec- tive purchaser would make a. down 'payment and through monthly pay- ments, own his home in 20 years. The third plan was the Wartime Housing. After considerable discussion a corn- mitte composed of C. A. Roberts, W. H. French, Mayor Kennedy and one to be selected by the council, were ap- pointed to investigate plans and secure 'estimate cost of construction, The meeting was strongly of the op- inion' that if a concentrated effort is ,tss made many new houses could be erect- ed, Tea and Baking Sale An Autumn Tea and Baking Sale mi- ller the auspices of the C.W.L. will be held on Thursday, Oct. 23rd from 3 to 6 p.m., in the Legion Home, DISCUSSING LOCAL HOUSING PROBLEM LOCAL AND PERSONAL PLOWING MATCH 'BOWLERS HELD DREW LARGE CROWD MIXED TREBLES In/answer to a letter from his land- lord to vacate his humble home, a wily wit wrote; Dear Sir; I received your letter with notice to vacate, I remain, yours truly,,,..,., RUMMAGE SALE The Vail Rummage Sale sponsored by the Ladies' Auxiliary to Wingham Hospital will be held in the Arrnotries. on Saturday afternoon, October 25th, tommencing at 2 o'clock.

How that boy can rtitil With- out any practice whatsoever he "rat his head off" mid' tame borne with two seconds to his credit.

From a field of 11 age-limit plowmen who sought places on the county teams, Arthur Bell, R. R. 2, Goderich, and John Clark, R. R. 5, Goderich, were chosen to compete in the inter-county walking-plow event; Gerald Dustow, R. R. 1, Bort Albert, and Billy Robertson, R. R. 5, Goder- ich, were chosen to be the tractor-plow- ing team. Financial aid is being given by •Hur- on agricultural organizations to send the two two-man teams to compete against the best that other Ontario junior farmeri can do. The four boys are to be coached in their matches at Kingston by LeRoy G. Brown, Agri- cultural Representative for Huron, The selection events for junior, farm- ers formed two of the- classes at the annual North Huron Plowing Match, held before :a crowd of 600 spectators on 'the fain of John Currie, in East Wawanosh Township, two miles south and a mile west of Wingham. The match was plowed on level sod, with the clay loam soil in ideal condition after a week of dry weather. The level upland on which the Cur- rie farm lies among the Wawanosh hills was bathed all day long in warm October sunshine; spectators and offici- als were able to enjoy the 1947 match without stamping feet or swinging arms to keep warm. James Hogg of Seaforth, a veteran competitor in Huron match plowing, topped the list in the walking-plow open class and won the Salado special for the best land plowed with jointer Blow. Second place in the open joint- er class, from which only winners of. Provincial championships were barred, was won by Hugh Simpson, White- church. In the open tractor class„--first prize was won by George Robertson,' R. R. 5, Goderich. The class was oped to both two-furrow and three-furrow plows, turning furrows of not less than 12-inch width, The tractor-plowing class for Veterans of the Second Great War, which was added to the Huron match program two years ago, was won this year by Larry Snider, Ex- eter, who served as an R.C.A,F, pilot overseas. Breaking away from the traditional practice in the handling of furrows— always a much-debated matter among followers of competitive plowing—the Huron match this year included a new event in which competitors were pen- alized for handwork on the furrow. The event, sponsored by Ford dealers in Huron, had a scoring system radi- cally different from that commonly used: competitors could score up to 15 in 100 for proper adjustment of the. plow equipment, 10 for knowledge of the service manual appropriate to the tractor and plow, and 10 marks for "no mark on furrow other than that made by plow". The new event was won by Allan Wainer, R. R. 3, Parkhill. The match was directed by nn ex- ecutive headed by George Veagari, of Goderich, President of the North }fut- on Plowmen's Association; tinter Den- nis ,Walton, Vice-President; Gordon MeGavin, Seatorth, who acted as ,Match Secretary until the arrival. of L. E. Cardiff, Brussels. Mr. Cardiff, Secretary--Treasurer Of the Association, returned to Hutton on Wednesday from a trip to Western Canada, And arrived at the match in the afternoon.

Temple- man and Gardner led the attack with three hits apiece, and Jardine turned in a good performance on the mound. Porter was the leading hitter for South- ampton, with three hits.

This game will be played on Saturday at either Southampton or Wingham. The decis- ion will he made tonight, Wednesday. Southampton 10—Wingham 7 On Wednesday evening here, before a large crowd, under the light, South- ampton Fishermen defeated the Wing- ham Hurons 10-7 and by so doing, took a one-game lead in their best of five series. The visitors commanded a three-run lead in the opening frame, and continued to add slowly to their total throughout the game. Brannick opened with a double. Rourke conn- ected for a homer to clear the bases. Hetherington and Porter struck out, J. Masterson homered and L. Masterson grounded out to Gardner to close the rally. Wingham clicked in the second, Aitchison singled, Gardner was safe on an error and Templeman doubled to score two runs. From a local stand- point the game was far from being a thriller, several errors combined with a number of to plays, gave the visit- tors that extrapunch width won them the game, or needless to say, was a determining factor in awarding them the game. From this scribe's point of view, the play-offs against 'Southampton lack the stamina and perseverance displayed in the Seaforth series, as the writer feels Seaforth fielded a stronger club and provided a better brand of ball.

He was removed to the Wingliant General Hospital where it was set and placed in a cast. It was about a year ago that the Doctor had a similar accident. We hope he may have a rapid recovery. The Thank Offering meeting of the Senior Women's Missionary Circle of the FJ,I3,A, was held Thursday even- ing, October 9th in the church, with Mrs. G. Scott, President, presiding'. The meeting opened by singing "Send the Light" and prayer by Mrs. (Rev.) ,Coupland. The Scripture was read by Mrs. John Falconer. A duet, "Speak, My Lord" by Miss M, Falconer and Mrs. G. Schiefele was much enjoyed, followed by a piano solo by Mrs. Cast- nick, and prayer by Rev. Coupland. The President then introduced the guest speaker, Miss Pettaway of the French Equatorial Africa Sudan Unit- ed 'Mission and Sudan Interior Mission, who based her remarks on Timothy 1;7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear—but of power and love and of a sound mind", all of which was need- ed in missionary work. There were 3,000 souls saved on the mission field and 412 baptized. Fourteen years ago there were 5 missionaries, now there are 20 this year. The people were hungry for the Word of God, asking for food, the living bread that came down from heaven. Helen L, Pocock favoured with the poem, "Pray, Give, Go". The offer- ing was then received. A season of prayer followed, led by Mrs. B. Coll- ar ,and Mrs. F. Collar. A solo by Mrs. W. Pocock, "Under His Wings" and the hymn "Throw Out the Lifeline" brought the program to a close and Rev, Jorgensen of Bluevale, closed the meeting with prayer, BINGO! BINGO!
