School Concert Successful' Miss Vivian MacLean was hostess to the Y.W.M,C. as it met for the Easter meeting, A poem, "The Risen Life" was read by the President to open the meeting, following which the hymn "Christ the Lord, is risen today" was sung and Miss Marjorie Falconer led in prayer. Mrs. Wilma Harcourt gave an interesting reading entitled "Up to the Mountain." The scripture lesson, John 8: 1-17 was taken by Mrs. Glen Scheifele and remarks based on the subject of "Getting a New Life." Miss Helen Louise Pocoek read a letter which she had received from her pen pal in India in which she told something of their great need and of how they are so insufficiently fed and clothed. Everyone joined in the sing- ing of the hymn "He Arose." Miss Marjorie Falconer read a very interesting letter which site had re- ceiver from Miss Vincent, a new Mis- sionary to China, in which she told of her voyage to China taking Six weeks and of her many experiences. Miss Lois Burchill favoured with a beauti- ful solo, "Jesus Rock of Ages," A reading entitled "Joseph in the Pit," telling of the study in a Sunday School in China was read by Mrs. Scott. Fellowiag a season of prayer, the meeting closed with the singing of the hymn "0 the Precious Love of Jesus"', and prayer by Mrs. Coupland, A dainty leach was served. Ravaged by the raging waters of the Maitland River, in the worst flood in the history 'of ingham, the town is gradually .getting back to normal. Total damage is. estimated at over half a million dollars. Friday the wat- ers rose rapidly and by Saturday noon had reached the peak, over two feet higher in Lower Wingham than the flood of 19.12, Railways Hard Hit • Shortly after I1 am. Saturday, as the ice jam started to move, the first serious casualty was the C.P.R. bridge, when it was swept away. Hundreds Of people stood on the C.N.R. bridge and track and watched the ice with port- ions of the C.P.R. bridge crash against the upper dam, and wondered how it withstood the onslaught, Unable to secure clear passage through the dam the waters burst through the banks at both sides. On the east side it gouged out the road and C.P.R. track& and made a new channel about 30 feet wide. The cur- rent thus divided undermined the town water reservoir and tilted and cracked one portion of it. To complete further destruction it washed out a section of earth nearly 100 yards long to a depth of possibly 10 feet and undermined the east end supports of the C.N.R. bridge, which caused the huge structure to sag. Howson's Mill Damaged On the west side of the dam the river also cut a new course at the side of Howson's Mill. The _We there crash- ed through the office takitg with it a couple of desks and chairs, NVater ran, through the mill and destroyed flour and grain. Railway Crews Working The C.N.R. on Monday started pouring crushed rz5ek to stop the flood from further washing out the bank, A C.P.R. work train arrived on. Tues- day, to commence work at the !bridge. s Hydro Power Disrupted Several hydro poles were snapped off and power was off in Wingham for only 13 hours. The hydro construction gangs and the local commission de- serve great praise for their work in erecting new poles and resuming op- erations in such a short time *under such trying circumstances, The residents of the town across the river were left without water supply and hydro. This service was resumed on Tuesday, Lower Wingham Flooded The residents of Lower \Vinghani have weathered many a flood, but nothing like this. About twenty fam- ilies had to be evacuated, and several 'of these were cared for by -the local Red Cross. In the wake of the flood, this section was a dirty mess. The houses were left with heavy deposits of mud and slime, even on table tops an inch of mud was reported. When the ice between the two dams gave way the current broke through above the mill race and carried the ice and portions of the C.P.R. bridge over the road missing the houses, which was indeed fortunate. Prairie A Sea Of Ice -4 The prairie flats at the South of the town were covered for over a half mile radius with ice, and the water crept tip to surround several houses • at the bottom end of Stott street, and came up Josephine St. to Reavies Ser- vice Station, Firemen Pump Basements With the rise of water on the prair- ie several store basements were flood- ed, and the local firemen worked con- stantly front Friday evening until Sun- day afternoon, pumping out water, Throughtheir efforts little stock was lost. Highways Again Open No 4 highway to the south was cleared of "ice on Monday and after minor repairs to the second bridge, traffic was allowed .,to proceed. that afternoon, The washout on No, 86 through Lower Wingham was also fill- a, and with the filling of the washout at Zetland that road was also open, val, Jinuoy Campbell; Beggar, Leon- ard Gray. )ADVENTURES OF PINOCCHIO: "It's a lot of work" said the teach- ers, "but it's worth it I" Yes, it was a lot of.work; sewing costumes, build- ing scenery, rehearsing and looking after all the countless details necess- ary to make a school concert success- ful. Many weeks of ceaseless extra work for the staff including incessant drilling by Mr, Anderton, music sup- ervisor and assistance from Mr. Har- old Wild and Sam Burton, Recreation Director, Many others lent their as- sistance too and the result! Well, the children performed so well that all those who worked so hard felt as if they were repaid a hundred times. Measles Hinder Preparation' All this in spite of the measles! Every day or so someone would be down with the measles. Those who had the measles were bitterly disaps pointed. It's too bad they couldn't have 'had their chance to shine, but they will have to wait a year now. Picking out stars is bad practice be- cause the stars of the show have to depend on their supporting cast. Suf- fice it to say that stars and supporting cast did their parts admirably from the Rhythm Band through Pinocchio. Mr. T. S. Beattie and his staff are to be congratulated on their excellent showing. The programme: Introduction-T. S. Beattie, Principal.

Here is an unusual oppor- tunity to hear an artist seldom heard in a city smaller than Toronto. The Time: Wednesday, April 7th. The Place: Wingham Town Hall. Madame Kolessa's programme which has already been received is most attractive. Many concert favour- ites have been included. The concert is the last in the series presented by th Wingham Concert Association. Plans for next season are now under way. FIRE DESTROYS MORRIS RESIDENCE The home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Souch, 2nd. concession of Mortis, was completely destroyed by fire on Saturday night. Fire started in the upstairs and it was impossible to save any of the contents there, but almost everything downstairs was carried to safety, The fire brigade from Wing- ham was summoned and was able to save the barn and a shed near the house, which was on fire several times from sparks. Mr. and Mrs. Souch and their family of five children are at present with relatives and neighbors until plans for the future are com- plete. DANCE SUNDAY MIDNITE, MARCH 28th At Royal T.

The hostesses and programme com- mittee who planned and conducted the Women's Institute meeting held last Thursday afternoon in the Council Chamber did a splendid job. At this meeting the Institute members paid homage to members who are grand- mothers and also several visiting ones. The entire programme was of spec- ial interest to them. Once again Mrs. H. Campbell delighted all with a col- lection of poems by Edna Jacques. Also two specially suitable songs, "The Second Minuet" and "I'll Walk Beside You", were beautifully sung by Mrs. IL Aitchison. Theo came a number from the grandmothers them- selves. Cards containing stump stunts were passed. The order printed on each card was acted in pantomine by the grandmothers. A prize given for the best action in the opinion of the judges was won by Mrs. J. Currie. Mrs. F. Fuller was auctioneer for a novelty sale of articles contributed by the members for this purpose. The answer to the roll call contributed much amusement to the Meeting, the names being answered by an Irish joke, A delightful St, Patrick's lunch closed the meeting.
