ASS'N PRESENTS ANNUAL REPORT Financial Reports Show Year To Ee Active and. Profitable to the Town Council last week by the president of the association, Mr. R, A. • The.lollowing report was presented Coutss, Your Worship and members of the Wingham Town Council, you have be- fore you the report of the Wingham Softball Association from which you will observe that we have had an ex-. tremely active year. 112 games veere,played in our Town Park this year. Of this . figure 73 games were played by our young._ people and children, 32 games by the Wingham Hurons and 7 games by the Town League and the Girl's Team These figures do not include games played by our teams out of town. 22,186 spectators witnessed our games and it is our conservative es- timate that at least 45% of these peoph came from outside our Town limits, Every major game was reported in the Toronto and London newspapers and on eight occasions our activities were reported in Canadian Press coast to coast. As you already know, our teams won' five championships and in this connec- tion the managers and coaches request- ed the to include in my annual report their heartfelt thanks to the Wingham Town Council for their generosity in recognizing these achievements. The Softball Association realized practically all of its income from the Wingham Hurons Games and to them must go the credit for attracting 95% of the crowds. You will note in the financial re- port that we paid to the Wingham Rec- reation Council $450.00 and a net of $158.57 for a total of $608.57. In ad- dition to this we financed the cost of Junior Sport amounting to $274,72, making a grand total of $883.29 to Recreation. This whole season would not have been possible without the generous do- nation from the Wingham Lions Club for floodlights and they are to be com- mended for their encouragement of sport-in this community. The efforts of many people were necessary to make our program a suc- cess but special thanks are due to Mr. Morris Bader, Mr. Vic. Loughlean ' Tory Gregg, Radio Sation CKNX, the Wingham Advance-Times, Mr. Harry Gerrie, Mr. Sam Burton, Mr. A. 0. Garrett, the entire Softball executive, the Town Fire Department, the loyal fans and those. pepole who helped in many ways to make the season a suc- cess. The Association does not feel it can expect people to use the present seat- ing accomodation for another season as it is not only 'inadequate but unsafe. In this connection we hereby respect- fully petition the Town Council for a grant of $500.00 to erect new stands.. These would be built in sections and could be taken down and stored away during the winter months. It is the purpose of the Wingham Softball Association to promote good clean sport in our community and the financial support of the Town Council in this matter would be greatly tip- preciated, (Continued on page sig) INSTITUTE EUCHRE Ym—les here again, the annual Wo- men's Institute Euchre Pattyl The date —;Monday, January 19th, the place-- Wingliam Council Chamber, the time ---playing will start at 8 o'clock sharp, the eatertaltiment—an evening of good splendid prizes, including a special leap year prize, plus a lunch such as only the Institute tan give you.

HELD LAST SESSION Nomination Meeting Will Be Held Tuesday Evening, January 20th. ••••••••••••••••••• The Present Teen Town Council, held their last meeting before the elec- tion last Thursday evening. Looking back over the year'a, activities it was agreed that it had been successful gen- erally speaking. Teen Town is de- finitely operated by Wingham High School students and to them must go full credit for its success, Originally it was hoped that Teen Town would invite working teensters and student teensters but the workers were not in- terested. Councillor Gregg said that Teen To could use a good meeting place of its owe which would include a game room. Councillor Bushfield stated that she would be willing to work on any building that could be adapted for this purpose and that other teensters would help. The general opinion was that a place for teensters was needed. It need not be elaborate but it should be comfort- able. If the teensters fixed it up them- selves they would take special pride in it.' Dance This Friday Teen Town will hold a dance this Friday following the basketball game. Basketball players from Goderich will be invited to stay and dance. Recommendation The Council made the following re- commendation. "That Teen Town is better suited to' teensters between the ages of 13 and 16 and that the new Council should be chosen from this age group. That a new club known as the T.N,T, Club (Teen and Twenty Club) be organized as soon as possible for older teensters and for those in their twenties." Nomination Meeting January 20th Nomination meeting was set as Tues- day ,January 20th, at 7.30 p.m., in the Town Hall with electiontaking place, Tuesday, January 27th.

GAGERS tOSE TO SEAFORTII Two of the Winghain High School basket ball teams opened the season '' in Seaforth last Friday aftereoott; the girls lost 28-21, while the junior boys were beaten 49-10. The Vttingliaart girls put op a good battle in losing a close contest to a more practised Seiforth toad, For Wingham Gloria Swanson starred with some accurate shooting, and Ruth Burgmati played a strong game at guard. The team sank all its foul shots. The boys were overrun by a smooth- working, more experienced Seaford.. team. For Seafortit Sills got 17 pOinta and Chapman 12; for 'Wingham Cum- mins, Cammage, Carrie, Irwin and French, each scored one basket. This Friday afternoon hi the local Armouries, three W. H. 8, teams will be in action against Goderich, starting with the senior boys at 8:80 p.m. New Objectives. Are Set and New Plans Made or 1948 For the past year; a campaign has been underway to enlist the people ser- ved by our hospital to become mem- bers in the Hospital ; Association. A Life Membership objeetive of 100 was set and it was also hoped that every home in the 'district Would have at least one member, if not for life, a 6 or 12 year membership, or yearly member- ship. There are now 108, Life Members and a new objective 'hes been set for 1948, 120 Life Members. The reason for this change is that 20 of the present Life Members are 'such by reason of their interest in the, hospital prior to it being taken over'. by the Hospital Association in 1937.11948 objective is 100 New Life Memberships. Another reason is although we have one of the finest and best equipped hospitals in Ontario we have not the facilities to accommodate our ,nussing staff and without such accormaindation it is im- possible for the Hospital Board to in- stitute a Nurse's Training School -which is so urgently required. All monies received from member- ships will be placed • in the Building Fund with a modern• nurse's residence as the main project„A Life Member- ship' is $100; 12 year membership, $50; 6 year membership, $25; yearly mem- bership $5. At least one of these mem- berships for every home in our hospi- tal area is suggested' tor 1948. If you do not wish a long term membership join on the yearly basis.

Did you ever attempt to do in one short season what nobody else ever did, produce'time perfect team? What We ate getting at is this: There are some people in our town who do not appreciate the efforts of our coaches, and here let us ask another question:--Diti you ever try to per- atiade someone to coach a team? Coming back to the subject, it is the sacred right of every hockey fan to criticize—even if it is his home Leant but when that criticism is a thought- less, tenseless, general statement avhich doe's riot help train players, we can get along without it We are thinking now of time young players who happened to overhear two local citizens talking about them. The kids now want to quit the game be- cause of this kind of "encouragement"' You see, when you knock a young player you really are breaking doom what has been built up with a great deal of effort We suppose this is asking too much, but anyway here goes: Will these people please boost the home teams? After all it won't hurt your pride much to say "look at OUR boys go rather than what is usually said. The coaches and players will try harder than ever with some encouragement, rather than this seeseless uncalled for knocking. And WE do INTOT need a "good coach" we heed Support for the ones we have Here let us voice our heartfelt thanks to the loyal fans Who do support and help 'wherever possible and say that if it Weren't for your support the game would have fallen through long ago, you do have ,sonic helpful etiticistii any coach will be glad to hear horn you, LAMES' AUXILIARY TO :HOSPITAL HAD -SUCCESSFUL YEAR, Mrs. I, Morrey, Superintendent Gave Interesting Report 1,••••••••••,, The Ladies' Auxiliary to Wingham General Hospital has closed another successful year. The Auxiliary makes sitself responsible for hospital supplies and furnishings such as bedding, cur- tains, dishes, kitchen utensils and nur- sery supplies. The new hospital and larger number of patients necessitated greater expenditure and much more work. In spite of shortages and in- creased costs the Auxiliary has man- aged to keep up the necessary supplies in all departments, and, in many cases, has taken advantage of buying oppor- tunities to build up surplus sapplies. The main sources of revenue are the two rummage sales and the marathon bridge paqies. Added to these, Mr. Alton Adams gives 100 tickets to a show at the Lyceum Theatre. This year Lane's School sent a gift of money to purchase indentification beads for the nursery. a Four serving groups ,meet on dif- ferent days each month to keep up the mending, serving and making of dress- ings. The gift of two electric sewing machines lately installed, greatly facili- tates the work of the serving commit- tee. The marathon bridge parties are held once a month during the six winter months, having 112 players. This pro- vides social intercourse as well as be- ing a service of revenue. The hospital auxiliary is a public spirited, non-denominational organiza- tion, working, through the, hospital, for the benefit of the sick and afflicted in Wingham and surrounding community. To this end, it asks the co-operation of every woman in the vicinity. The fee is ,50c a year ,and the meetings are on the first Monday of each month in the Council Chamber.

The island is about 80 miles across at the widest part and is quite a rugged nature with some of the hills reaching 1000 feet in height. The early history of the island Was recalled when it was held by the French and later captured by the British. It is largely settled by Scottish immigrants but a fair,aprinle- ling of French remain. Many of the Scotch people speak Gaelic fluently- The people of the island are quite proud of their isolatibn from the main- land and regard people from Ontario as Upper Canadians. Coal is one of the important products and in some of the mines the workings extend out under the Atlantic as far as six miles. Fluor- escent lighting is used and under- ground , vegetable gardens are quite popular. Many horses are taken into the mines as colts and live there throughout their lives. The big steel plant at Sydney em- ploys a great many men. Politics, Re- ligion and sport are the most common subjects of conversation. The fishing industry affords a good living. Lob- ster fishing is an important occupation Mr. Sutherland gave a detailed descrip- tion of lobster traps and the methods used in handling lobsters. Rev. Sutherland concluded by re- minding Lions that the first airplane flight took place at Cape Breton, Alex- ander Graham Bell did a lot of exper- imental work on the telephone there.
