Before the talent campaign, WING-HAM s ONTARIO the congregation had contributed $4,500. The net returns tonight will add $1,500 to the fund. "Obeying the minister's advice to put the money to work, the members of the congregation did everything from tanning deer skins to collecting dew worms, Town Clerk Gilbert Windsor bought six bags of seed potatoes and expects to raise 60 bags from them. He had paid a deposit on Ins talent until the harvest. Twelve- year-old Cecil Watt doubled his tal- PARABLE OF THE ent money selling dew worms.

Knight turned in $10 she made by washing dishes, and baby sit- ting," This article not only bears our Bible teaching, but shows also how that teaching may be profitably used. Nor is it only applicable to church organi- zations, but rather, it is limitless in its scope, Any club or organization, blest with wide-awake, energetic members and supporters may well use the same "Parable of the Talents" in a practi- cal way to raise any needed funds. * * FORESIGHT BETTER THAN HINDSIGHT If the pioneer settlers of Wingham had been blest with a little more imag- ination or foresight, they would have at least doubled the width of Joseph- ine street, Will the residents of this town, fifty or seventy-five years from now, also accuse this present genera- tion of Winghamites of lacking fore- sight and imagination? Perhaps only time can answer that question, but at least we can try not to merit such condemnation. Undoubtedly, Ontario will exper- ience a great industrial expansion in the coming years and the population of this banner province of Canada will increase very rapidly. Beyond doubt, with any real enterprise by our leading citizens, Wingham should grow in population and industrial en- terprises, Are we planning for such an expansion or are we going to con- tinue using the same slip-shod, im- practical, blind methods of the past? It requires very little sagacity to deduce the fact that \Vingham will ex- pand to the eastward. The topography of the townsite and surrounding coun- try backs up that supposition, and the present building boom on Carling Ter- race and Catharine Street, is only the start of that expansion. It is less than a mile to Wingham Junction and good residental and industrial building area every foot of the way. As \Vingham grows, and it certainly should grow— it doesn't require much imagination to picture the Bluevale Road as a contin- uation of our main street. That brings to the fore the con- necting link between Josephine Street and the Bluevale Road. The Diagonal Road is all very well as a bypass and residential street but absolutely too narrow and too hilly for a main thor- oughfare, The ideal place for a con- necting street lies west of and at the lower west title of the Diagonal hill, A curving road could quite easily be constructed across the level land at the same level as and joining Joseph- ine street and the Bluevale Road. This road csoulti be made any desired width and by-pass the Diagonal hill. Thus \\Ingham, Greater Winghatn "Scuse Us for Harping . . . . but if you want to be sure of building a really permanent and beautiful home of your own— then you'll want to invest in only the FINEST Quality Building MATERIALS from a reliable local dealer—like The Beaver Lumber Co.

Gordon C, Smyth demonstrated that the parable of the talent can he put to practical use in rasing funds for a congregation.

Repeated tests with an in taste panel composed of two wotnen and four men, two of whom were British 'Columbia natives, placed McIntosh apples from Northumber-. land Durham comities of Ontario 'consistently at the top of the list.' Samples were submitted to the taste panel in Decembes, January and Feb- ruary. They were asked o classify hem with respect to flavor, texture ;and appearance. After Ontario, they placed other apple growing districts of Canada in this order; Annapolis Valley, N.S., Okanagan Valley, B. C.,. 1.St. John River Valley, N.D., and St. 1 Lawrence River Valley, Ontai4o. The ;last few decades have witnessed a serious -desinle in the apple growing !in 'dustry in this section of Ontario, !but there was a time ,within our 'memory, when we grew as lubcious apples in this district as in any part of Canada. 4 lo• KNOW 'WINGHAM "Greenville" the north end of Leo- pold street, received that name at the time Walter Green built five fine brick houses there.
