CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
.04, NECESSITY
A Chamber of Commerce is a vital
'necessity for any city or town that is
progressive, Wingham badly needed
suclz a civic body of boosters to really
put the town on the map again, and it
a splendid criterion of better things
tor this municipality in the future that
inTeti an organization has been formed.
Now, in order to get the very best re-
sults from this public spirited body,
it is necessary for every citizen of
Wingham to get behind them and
help.
And we don't mean just stay in the
background "bellied" this "Citizen's
Committee" and watch for results, we
mean join this boosters' club and use
your brains and energy to make it a
success. Here is your opportunity to
get on one of the committees and
show what you can do to better your
home town. Situated as we are, in the
heart of this beautiful Maitland Valley
and in the eenter of the best mixed
farming country in Canada, we can
make Wingham the best little town in
Canada, if every citizen will chip in
and help.
The Directors of the Chamber of
Commerce have already selected a
four-point programme for this year,
which is as follows: 1. Housing. To as-
sist and encourage this undertaking
in every way. 2, Improvement of Rur-

al Relations. To get to know our far-
mer friends better and to help them
with their problems, 3. Helping local
industries, 4 Publicizing our Town.
These are all worthy objectives and
their fulfillment will benefit \Viugham
shortly,
Some other projects that should be
added to the programme are as fol-
lows: 1. Get our Worthy M.P.P., John
W, Hanna, to bead a delegation to the
government re immediate straighten-
ing of the south branch of the Mait-
land river. 2 The same delegation
should press for improvement of the
roads leading into town and, for new
bridges, 3. Working in eonjunetion
with the officers of the Horse Show
to try and reclaim the race track. 4,
Push the construction of a hard ball
park at the south end of the town. 5,
Construct a park beside the Maitland
River which could also be used as a
tourist camp. 5. Working in ; con„ unc-
tion with the Wingham Legion beauti-
fy a part of the aforementioned park
as a Memorial Park. 7. Working in
conjunction with the Lions. Club to
build a swimming pool at a suitable
part of the Maitland River.
• The Chamber of Commerce will be
eager for suggestions and ideas from
its members and now is your chance
to bring forward your own ideas. If
there is merit in your suggestions and
you energetically back them with your
every energy, they may become a part
of the programme for the near future.
If all clubs and associations, in fact all
citizens of Wingham, would unite in a
joint effort to clean the weeds out of
the north branch of the Maitland
River that would greatly beautify the
town. Also if the Chamber of Com-
merce worked in conjunction with the
surrounding townships to organize a
district fair it would benefit the entire
district, It is easy to see that the field
of endeavour is very broad in which
our Chamber of Commerce is starting
to graze. Join and Work. Don't moan
and shirk. *
WIDEN MAIN STREET
Traffic jams and hazards continue
to be a feature of our Main Street,
Each year the condition grows worse
as the volume of motor traffic in-
creases. Now is the time to act before
any unnecessary fatalities or bad ac-
cidents occur on Josephine Street.
The curbs should be immediately re-
moved back in line with the sidewalks.
That will give the maximum possible
width to this often-crowded, import-
ant traffic artery. Action is needed at
at once.
Last year's Council did some talk-
ing, but never got around to taking any
action in this matter, except to get a
tentative bid for the work. If that bid
is excessively high then why not use
local labor to remove a section of the
curbs to assess the cost? This year's
Council should make an immediate
start on this necessary improvement
to ourMain Street.

HELP THE RED CROSS
In this day and age it hardly seems
possible that people need prompting
to get them to give of the abundance
of their means to help such a worthy
cause. And yet there is often a tend-
ency to "let the other fellow do it."
It ean'tbe that people forget that the
Red Cross Services include: Blood
Transfusions, Outpost Hospitals, Aid
to Sick and Disabled Veterans, Treat-
d'utent for Crippled Children, Disaster
E-- Relief, Nutrition Services, Home Nur-
lsing Cottrses, and Swimming and •
! Water Safety, etc. • i Xeitlicr does it scent possible that
a any peron Batt haves► forgotten what
r--- the Red Cross meant to all artitz.'d for-
: ces and civilian populations in war-
i;torn countries during the recent great
i World War Two. No one can possibly
2 have forgotten so we apologize for re-
2 minding our readers that this worthy
,orgattization, which saved countless '
,ill n . lives in war and peace, perhaps eve
j_ some of your own loved ones, now is
i I in vital need of funds to carry on its ;
-x--i., peacetime work. The work of mercy
