PROPHET'S ADDRESS
The following address was compos-
ed and given by Grant Ernest at the
recent High School Open Lit. •
Wingham hadn't received as much
publicity since the "Flood Seeing
Crusades" back in 48 when the Mait-
land overflowed its banks causing a
press-estimated damage of two million
dollars and completely isolating Wing-
ham. Wingham might never receive as
much publicity as she did at the open-
ing of the new $200,000 High School

tor who gave up searching for gold
after .months of fruitless search in an
abandoned section of the Western At:1S,
tralian gold fields, has gained fame
wip his invention of the "New 4 Way
Zippero Mop", The manufacturer
claims that each mop has 2200, 4-ply
strands, giving 8800 separate dust ab-
sorbent dusters for cleaning of floors,
He has been bitterly attacked by op-
position Ii. Cameron Mop Companies
who accuse him of being a get rich
quick jackal' on the fringe of the in-
dustry, through insufficient research
and inadegaute design,
This turns our attention to the ad-
joining attraction the Wheel of For-
tune where we bump into "Scopie"
Norman Dickinson, trying to make up
the deficit of dollars at Tellson's Bank
of which he is manager. With the help
of the new Pennington Beechie-Wheel
of-Fortune Brake, a product of the
Pennington-Eightball Cor p or a t i o n
(poolrooms in Teeswater, White-
church, Belgrave and Wingham)
Norm seems to be winning.
Pushing our way ehger to the
Achievement Building where the Allan
Quadruplets are on display we meet
proud papa Allan who has taken a day
off from his Soil Restoration Plant in
Lower Wingham for the memorable
occasion.
the headline "Jean Thompson local
counsellor of the Teeswater Cigar
Manuaftcuring Company is apparently
a very busy woman, In a half-page ad-
vertisement, illustrated with photo-
graphs of butts in various stages of
consumption, the Company is trying
to prove that the cigars are actually
made of tobacco and not from discard-
ed floor mats as claimed by psychoan-
alyst Donna Henry and her associate
Professor Ross, head of the Depart-
ment of Research of Phoney Merchan-
dise recently established in Toronto."
Another item: "Beninger's Drug
Store offers a new drug for curing
mad dogs, This wonder drug removes
all infecting hydrophobia within 20
minutes after its injection in the third
segment of the dog's tail. Also adver-
tised was one of Beninger's own in-
ventions, a tooth on the end of a stick
for cleaning brushes, thus offering
temporary relief for the tooth brush
shortage caused by increased sales."
The giant.Ferris Wheel has stopped
and at the top 'we see the Hilbert
twins, with blonde hair done up in
pig-tails, swinging with glee. The
young chap with the lollypop across
in front of us is J. Hobden's eldest.
The sun is falling in the west now
and we hurry to leave the grounds be-
fore the crowd, 5, 'Hezekiah' John-
ston is leading his prize-winning cow
home; Jim Bellinger has his pepper-
sorting diploma under his arm and
Norman Dickinson tries his luck once
more at R. Pennington's 'Beechie'
Wheel-of-Forutne. We hear some
squawks in the Achievements Building
as Mr. and Mrs, Allan gather up their
brood.
What a wonderful day it has been
to meet all those people of the class of
481
The cars are starting to leave now
and with one last glance at the fair
grounds we bid farewell, retaining al-
ways the memories of a happy day's
reunion with the past, a dream of
future hopes, and a hope of future
dreams,
The End.

Now edging our way to the Domes-
tic Science booth we find Barb Fox-
ton busily beating up a mixture of bak-
ed peanut shells and a super-saturated
solution of mayonnaise, which whips
into a luscious cake with the use of a
new powder ingredient, discovered af-
ter years of research by Barb. Tests
have been made in sub-Arctic climate,
and Tom Lockridge reports that the
new mixture has never frozen as far
north as Emo. Tommy is introducing
a new cured meat into his stores.
"Condensed Whal-O-Walrus" canned
meat and 'Seal Steak'. It is reported
that he has bribed 80 to 100 Eskimos
to work in his new Northern Super
Slaughter House and Meat Packing
Factory.
To the left we see Mr. Hall ex-
plaining a new, easy formula teaching
method to a group of chemistry tea-
chers. It seems he had decided that a
simpler formula rule had to be used
if he was ever to receive a class like
the Grade XII of 1948.
Moving along 's one side of the
Achievement building we see a sign
which reads "Black, Sweet and Hot,"
I realized at once that it was Mary
Lu Connell's new black coffee. Her
culinary genius, along with a modern
scientific formula, developed through
the research of Donna Walker and
Joan Edgar had produced a coffee of
which the first sip removes your ton;
sits, and the second shines your shoes.
Giving in to her persuasive charm I
reluctantly drank a cup, consoling my

reluctance by the fact that my tonsils
were bad and my shoes did need shin-
ning. Mary Lu and Joan were now
spending the winters at California and
the rest of.the year in a "London Life"
continuing secretarial science to the
tune of Beedle-De-Bop-Bop.
Glancing to the right we notice a
sign which reads, "Dental Demonstra-
tions and Proof Positive," then I hear
a familiar voice peel out to a group of
grams and gramps that have gathered
around. "Do your false teeth annoy
and embarrass by slipping, dropping
or wabbling when you eat, laugh or
talk?" They Do! Then just sprinkle
a little of Armitage's "Stick-fast
Nogoo" on your plates. No gummy,
gooey pasty taste or feeling". John is
quite a promising dentist. Nevertheless
he is a very prominent dentist. He at-
tributes his success to, no women, no
wine, and a thorough' course at Dental
School,
Next to John's dental display we see
Dr, Hall's medical discoveries. It
seems that Jim is not only a brilliant
young surgeon, but as Professor of
Medicine at the New Southern Uni-
versity has found a rare African beetle,
which when the left ventricle of its
heart is removed and dried hi three
tubes of French champagne, two tubes
of aviation gasoline, six quarts of
cleaning fluid and a pinch of salt, pro-
duees an excellent hair lotion to be
taken internally.
Next at the Musical Arts section the
signs seem to indicate that a surge of
music-making is sweeping over the ens
tire Province of Ontario, after the
publication of Leslie Mae Wan "Kers
hide." Selling like hoteakes along with
this music magazine is Dr. Han
"Mayonnaise" in Chicadee flat. Dr.
Hall composes music in his spare time.
At the Modern Literature Counter,
Esquire Audrey McGuire famous auth-
or and publisher of "The Spiritual Life
of the Praying Mantis" is selling book
after book of her popular literature.
And just gas we turn to walk out of
the building we are tickled with joy
to See that Ruth turgnian (Acting
Chief of the Division of Publit Health
Nursing) has just come from the
Steer-Roping Contest and is dragging
a bedraggled Shorthorn along behind
her.
In the Poultry Building we see that
;Ifildred Higgins and Louis Grasby
are proudly displaying their white
Leghorns who hold the egg laying re-
cord for Morris Township, three
triple yolks daily for two weeks then
two twelve pound clay bricks.
On otir way to the track we meet
Jim Johnston, smiling, as he carried
off the red ribbon after tattle judging,
and shouting congratulations J. Bol-
inger who was top man at the A. & P.
Pepper Sorting Contest, in the Thomp-
son Building. 'Ilezekialf Johnston con-
centrates his efforts on ridding jerseys
of their exhibitions, in an attempt to
produce contented cows.
Glancing at the latest racing bulle-
tins, I see that Harold Pennington has
won the Coaster Wagon Race.
Proceeding to the grandstand to
avoid the blistering sun, we at last
locate a seat which offers the benefice
of a discarded Winglattn paper, The
Progressive 'Times."

point.

The Flood of 1948
When other towns were in distress,
And almost flooded out,
We in "Wee Delmore"
All could walk about.
Of course some did wear a frown,
With a bathroom in the cellar
But this gave us all a chance,
To help the other fellow,
We hear some got a boat ride,
While others had a swim,
Hydro was cut off,
So their lights were dim.
But the old oil lamp came on
scene,
And shed a cheerful light.
Glad to be of use again,
Long hidden from our siTzItt.
Hats off to the rubber boots.
Which did their bit to please.
I
The only trouble is with them,
They won't let you on your knees.
The skunks were rooted front their
den,
Went floating down the river.
This was a joyful sight
The poor creatures had to shiver.
Yes it played havoc o'er the land,
The merchants lost their stock.
Our churches all were left intact,
For they are founded on the rock,
We sure have nothing here to lose,.
Or do we wish for more.
We're all as happy as can he,
In "Wee Behnore."

in 1958. However the grand opening
of The Fall Fair of Western Ontario
brought extended fame to the Old
Home Town. It was inevitable that
many familiar faces would be back in
Wingham.
What a day! It looks as if most of
the class of 48 are at the fair. Above
the happy children's shouts of glee re-
sounds the innovations of James Hob-
den. This budding merchant is selling
popcorn to all the children under 12.
This is his share for the success of the
fair. -*
