Youth can only look forward, but age looks back over the past as well as forward to the future, The Northlands, of which Northern Ontario is 911.C, are reputed to be a young man's country, but youth does not always replace age in those lands. Bruce Mines recently returned Mayor Albert Grigg, aged 74, for his 27th straight term and a total of 29 terms to extend his Dominion record and the, town of Thessalon chose E. G, Hagee, aged 82, as mayor and laid claim to having the oldest chief magistrate in the country. Mayor Grigg has been mayor for more consecutive years than any 'man in the country and said recently that he faced the future with "great optim- ism both for his own town and for the country." Mayor Hagen—born at Dungannon, Huron County—predicted that Thessalon would grow immensely in the next decade. * * SPIVS AND DRONES RECEIVE "CALL-UP" The first "call-up" of "Spivs" and "drones" in Britain will take place in January.

Two great world wars have placed undue emphasis on the value of youth. Youth has its very important place in the scheme of things. It is a very seleaSant stage in life, but it should be the training and learning period, not the governing stage. War is a young man's opportunity to prove his worth because older men cannot stand the pace and rigors of modern warfare, and itiiiPhases of commerce and indus- try are best handled by the resilient endurance and quickness of youth. However, you can't place old heads son young shoulders, and age does bring -wisdom and tolerance to most people. Youth certainly has a vital place in our "way of life" and so also has age. It is a grave mistake when youth takes the place that rightly can be best filled by older citizens and forces them pre- maturely into the background or dis- card. Young people often forget that older people were once young like themsel- MERKLEY MOTORS Wingham • - Ontario 6••••••••••••••• CONTRACT BRIDGE B. F. Goodrich' BATTERIES 01 ',/foter/,' •. Choose B. F.

A hand that appeared at Bridge Club last week il- lustrates this unusually well, and you might find it even worth the trouble of laying out the cards to follow the play. the second lead East let go the two of clubs, retaining his ace of hearts. South ran off the remaining four tricks in clubs. returned a diamond, which indicated almost certainly that East had, the queen, even though East tried to hide this by playing the nine. A small diamondsto the king dropped East's queen, and gave the additional information that East had nine cards in hearts and clubs. The declarer suc- cessively led the jack of spades and ten of' diamonds from dummy, on which East discarded the eight and then a lower heart, confirming South's suspicion that he had the ace. The picture was now complete, and the declarer decided that East might be induced to unguard the clubs in or- der to keep the ace of hearts. He 'carefully led the nine of hearts, to give the impression he intended a finesse, and when East played low, he overtook with his queen. At this point South had his original three clubs, the aces of spades and dia- monds, and the ten of hearts. East had four clubs and the ace and a small heart. South led out the two bare aces, dis- carding the four and king of hearts.

South decided that right then was a good time to seek some information, and perhaps some help, from the opponents; otherwise, he had a blind guess which of the minor suits to work on, as well as how to play either of them. He returned a small spade toward the jack, and West took the trick. West's best play would have been to continue spades, but he WINGHAM ONT. Do You Want To Rent A Home? This notice is directed to those families in need of housing accommodation and when completed should be sent or mailed, plainly nwked "Housing", to the Town Clerk's Office, Wingham, Ont. Name Address • 0 What Accomodation Do You Have At Present? Versons "not gainfully employed'- which includes , those with private in- comes—will register Jan, 1,044. This applies to men born between 1923 and 1929 and women horn between, 1927 and 1929. Maximum petialties for failure to register are fines of £100 or int" prisonment for three months on sum- mary conviction with heavier penalties on indictment, The number of persons the minister of labor hopes to get into essential in- dustry by this order has never been stated, but he has said in parliament that about 500,000 jobs are waiting, to be filled. Most of those affected are thought to be in the London area, * IRON ORE DEPOSITS IMPORTANT The iron ore deposits along the Lab- rador-Quebec border are very exten- sive and have an important bearing at this time on, the negotiations for pos- sible inclusion of Newfoundland-Lab- rador as Canada's tenth province, Ge, ologists say they believe these ores will be a worthy successor to those in the Lake Superior areas of Minnesota and Wisconsin, which have been depleted by heavy wartime demands and now have only a few years' supply left. The ore is found along a structural trough in the earth's crust some 350 miles in length and 40 miles in width The most promising ore bodies run along a 90-mile stretch within this trough and test drilling indicates re- serves are ample. Railway and harbor facilities are being completed to bring out the ore and Dr. J. A. Retty, chief geologist of the Labrador Mining and Exploration Co., estimates that mining of the richly embedded ores may begin in about 10 months time. Dr. Retty's description of the new beds of iron ores indicated they are similar to the deposits at Steep Rock, Ont., in type, age and natural environ- ment, and he believes they will replace the diminishing ore reserves of the Lake Superior region as a source of supply for the American steel industry. * KNOW WINGHAM Early History of Wingham, cont'd. (An xtract from the Historical Atlas of the Countyof Huron, Ont., published in 1879.) The first settlers in what is now Wingham, were John Cornyn and fam- ily, comprising his sons, Robert, 'Wil- liam and Thomas. They built the first house in the place, on the spot where the Queens Hotel now stands, in the summer of 1859. It was a log building at first, but -was subsequently added to, and used originally as a hotel—being the first public-house in the locality— till 1873, when it was pulled down to make room for the more pretentious structure which was erected over its ruins, Mr. Cornyn originally lived in Mornington, Perth .County; but came to Turnberry itt,1856, settling on lot concession f, of that township, where he lived till 1859, when he settled as above, Old Mr. Cornyn died in 1868. His son, Robert,is now the earliest set- tler living within the limits of the or- iginal Village of Wingham, (To be continued next week) * WEEKLY THOUGHT You probably made a number of New Year's resolutions, Now that the first week has passed it is time to make the first check to see how many of your good intentions still remain un- broken.
