Office Department Vol. '75 — No, 25 VALUABLE PUBLIC SERVANTS. There may be some merit in the common practice of eulogizing those who have departed from this "Vale of Tears"; and floral wreaths are at least a belated tribute to the dead. How- ever, such tributes can mean less than nothing to the person they are meant to honor, so their worth is only a vic- arious one, Friends and relatives of the departed one, see, feel and apprec- iate the tributes, but the departed one, for whom they are intended, knows nothing about them. Tributes should be paid while they may be appreciated and bouquets given while they may be seen and smelled by the person they are meant to honor. For those reasons and also because faithful service de- serves commendation, we wish to pay tribute this week to three men who served Wingham well for many years For Your BUILDING, CARPENTERING Repair Work Built-in CUPBOARDS —SEE— Bennett & Casemore 'Phone 447 Wingham — and one of them is still serving the town well. • Albert (AN) Sanderson served Wine'halo off and on for half a cen- tury, more or less, in the street depart- ment, as a teamster, who hauled gravel and the grader to improve our streets, the watering cart to lay the dust on the Main and parts of other streets in stammer, and the snow plow in winter to keep our sidewalks free of excessive snow - many of the .older and mid- dle .aged residents ' remember waiting for Ab and his snowplow to clear the way to school, He was a familiar fig- ure on our streets, winter and sum- mer, and he always had the same quiet smile and pleasant word for young and old, He was the acme of unhur- ried, unperturbed, unexcelled efficiene- cy. He made haste slowly and was as dependable as the sun that shone on his well-known figure, on the streets of our town, six days of the week, every week, for 52 weeks of the year. Wingham never had a more faithful servant. Ab was always a good citizen. whose example was always exemplary. Though now retired and confined to a wheel chair, it is good to still see him on our streets with the same cheerful, patient, friendly smile and kindly word. The citizens of Mingham have not for- gotten you Albert Sanderson and they thank you for the many years of faith- ful service which you gave them as teamster for the street department. George (Chief) Allen served Wing- ham faithfully and well fox about forty years as Town Constable.and. Chief of Palice. He carried out his duties so ef- ficiently that during all those years, Wingham was a safe place to live and a good place to raise a family. He gave Wingham a record as a "crime free" town that is unsurpassable and few ever equal it. He was stern in the, en- forcement of law and order when ne- cessary, but he was even more potent as a preventive force. He was a friend- ly "cop", who was a deterring influence on those who sometimes slipped a little; and to those who would other- wise have tried to make crime pay, his gigantic figure was the vetoeiug pow- er, He served Wingham faithfally and well, and, though retired now, it is good to see him still in our midst. The citizens of .Wingham are grateful to you Geo, Allen for a good job well done, Many of the middle-aged and YOUnger residents of Winghant still re- member you as "Heap Big Chief", W. A. (Will) Galbraith has been our Town Clerk and Treasurer for over' twenty-five years, and he is still cap- ably filling that important position, Will took over those duties shortly af- ter returning from several years of dis- tinguished service in World War One. He was educated ft our Public and High Schools, is a War Veteran and a credit to the Town of "Wingham, For over a quarter of A century pow, he has been, and still is, our genial, oblig- ing, efficient Town . Clerk and Treas- urer; and he has always been ready and willing to serve as sec.-treas., or in any other capacity on the executive's of numerous town and community` or- ganizations, Wingham has been very fortunate in having such a proficient and obliging Town Clerk all these years, and we hope the connection is unbroken for many years to come. Will is a great friend of the sick, under- privileged and shut-in, and, in spite of his' multifarious duties - - many of them supernumerary obligations - - - which entail much overtime work, he seems somehow often to find time to take them for car rides or do other favors for them, He is keenly interested in every phase of our town life and a great booster in every effort to improve conditions that affect our way of life, church, schools, hospital, social clubs, industrial expansion, athleticand recre- ational facilities, and welfare work, to name a few. Among his hobbies are horticulture and "pictures", still, col- oured and moving. Will is a &tad, "solid" citizen, with a ntillion dollar smile" and a firm, friendly handshake, He is a friend to young and old, and an animal lover to boot - - carries dog biscuits around in his pocket to feed his many canine friends. The citizens: of Wingham are proud of you Will and grateful for the grand job you have done and are doing for the town. * * MONUMENit A family plot Should be graced with the shrine-like beauty of a monument •whiCh will be ever, lastingly a tribute- to those at rest.

If the United States Congress backs the Marshall Plan with the financial aid it is being.asked to vote, then the sixteen European countries On the re- ceiving end will be able to balance their external trading account in the nqxt four years and obtain much-needed. Supplies. To make the best possible use of this timely assistance and to insore. their permanent economic recovery, it is necessary for them, to act as an econ- omic whole. Tariff barriers would. ruin Western Ekturope's chances of- long- term prosperity, so, for that reason, the Governments concerned appear in fav- or of a custom union, • Singly they could not afford to re- cant sufficiently to resist aggression, but united they can soon become strong again. Already plans are well under Way to standardize arms, equipment and military training, Last year Brit- ain supplied radar, jet airplanes and other armaments to thirteen of the Marshall Plan countries, and eleven of them sent military missions" to Britain for training. Thus the groundwork is laid for a union of the armed forces of the union, It is reassuring to other de- Mocratic countries to see the realistic manner in which the democratic coun- tries of Western Europe are approach- ing an essential unity, • * * WESTERN GERMANY BECOMES "BIZONIA" Recently the British and American zones ofGermany were merged into one zone under the temporary name of "Bizonia". Later the French zone may join in this united Western Germany. Bizonia will have a single government, elected by Germans and exercising wide powers. However this new regime will not be all-powerful. Decisions at the top level will still be taken by the occupying powers and "Bizonia" Will not qualify as an independent State eligible for election to the United Na- tions. Otherwise, the new government will manage Western Germany almost as an independent regime. It will have control of railways, communications and ports; and it will make regulatiOns respecting production, distribution and allocation of goods, including food and raw materials. It will nbt have power make agreements with other countries or to bargain about reparations, This change in policy of the occupy- ing powers is clearly a step toward the revival of German heavy industry which is necessary if the Marshall Plan is to succeed and Western Europe is to survive as part of a free world. On account of Soviet Russia's warmonger- ittg it now appears that a revived Ger- many is much less likely to threaten the world's peace than the Soviet Un- ion. The success of the new experiment in "Bizonia" will depend partly on the rewards for energy and iniatitive offer- ed to the Germans. This decision of the United States and Britain to give the Germans some leeway in managing their own economic affairs should re- sult in a speed-tip of essential German production. the present corporation (that to the northward), which is looked upon as much more valuable than the low lands adjacent to the north and south bran- ches of the Maitland. Hence the oppos- ition - - - the lower town people acting on the dog-in-the-manger principle of keeping others out of a good thing be- cause they could not procure it for themselves.

Mayor Saunders has won 0 a wide reputation for his administra- tive ability, and for his capacity to mas- ter details during the three years that he has been head of the largest muni- cipal corporation in the Province.
