WINGHAM NEEDS AN
ATHLETIC PARK
The whole is the sum of all its parts
and Wingham is a very fine part' of
this Dominion of Canada. Beyond
doubt, some of Canada's finest athletes
may live in Wingham and district.
They should be given an opportunity
to develop their athletic talents to
the fullest extent and, who knows,
they might help bring honor to Can-
ada at future Olympic Games. Why

POOR PROPAGANDA
FOR CANADA
The athletic prowess displayed by
Canadian athletes at the Olympic
Games in London, England, this year,
has been mighty poor propaganda for
Canada. Canada placed well down the
list with the smaller nations in the
total point standing and Dominion
athletes gave very few really notable
performances. For a very small, eill-
favored and backward nation the
showing would be creditable enough,
but Canada is neither small nor ill-
favored, and there is no excuse for this

competing tuitio ns, Naturally," Can-
ada's prestige has been lowered by
the dismal failure of her Olympic,
team to make a better showing in com-
petition with the youths of other nate
ions. This poor showing reflect nu
discredit upon the individual Canadian
athletes who competed, but rather
it is a black murk against Canada as a
whole. The members of the Canadian
team are to be commended for the
valiant efforts they made to bring hon-
or to Canada and a few of them did,
through heroic endeavour, manage to
salvage some credits for the land of
the maple leaf.
In two recent great world wars.
Canada rose to nationhood and prom-
inence in the world as a great nation
through the mighty heroic deeds of
her servicemen and service women on
land, sea and in the air and through
the magnifieient war-sinews produc-
tion efforts of the civilian population.
The world learned to think of Canada
as a great nation in those days and it
is a shame to send an Olympic team
to the international Olympic Games
that has lowered this opinion of Can-
ada's greatness,
And while there is no good excuse
for this athletic debacle of Canada's
youths, there is a very definite evid-
ent reason, Undoubtedly, Canada does
possess the finest and best young men
and women in the world, but they
never had nor have the faCilities for
best developing their athletic talents
and abilities. Canada needs playing
fields and other facilities in every dis-
trict and community to enable much
larger numbers of young -people to
have an opportunity of developing
their talents.
Also Canada must develop proper
coaches in greatly increased numbers
so that outstanding propspects may-
he trained properly and encouraged.
not? Such a happy result might ensue
if Wingham had a suitable athletic
park.
Wingham has never had a real ath-
letic park and it certainly is time our
athletes had such facilities and en-
couragement for developing their ath-
letic talents. All our boys and girls
would benefit greatly from diverse
track, field and game sports. under
proper supervision, and their parents
and the sports-loving public would
enjoy the higher-lass competitive
games and contests . these healthier
and better-trained youths would. dis-
play. An athletic park would 'be a
great boon to the whole community.
Wingham's Chamber of Commerce
should get together with the Recrea-
thin Council, Lions Club, Wingham
Legion, the Town Council and other
interest e d parties or organizations Mt- .th tmeately and discuss the pros and
cons of the project, Probably it would
!be a fitting tribute to i.)ur valiant dead
lin two great wars to designate it as a
'HMentorial ..4.thletie Park." The park
:should be located in the best possible
site for convenience. That is one rea-
son we have more than once sta.ggested
the flats. at the southeast end of los-
ephine Street.
Many large athletic parks in large
'cities are hided 5.umo springs but
that does no permanent harm. An ath-
letic park should be large enough to
have a full-sized baseball diatmenl
surroundell by a cinder track. Or the
ball diamond could be in the centre
of a race track. If suitable ^^rounds
were available the athletic park might
be exten.kd to take in a fair grounds
and tourist park. We suggest that the
triangle, between Josephine street,
Jihmonal Road and "South Street",
er the Illue‘atc Road extended to
Main Street, be considered a, a pos-
sible site.
