GREATER SAVINGS IN HYDRO NEEDED Two Daily Cut-Offs Are Not Enough For the past week Wingham has -experienced two daily Hydro shut-offs, from 12.30 to 1 noon, and 5.30 to 6.30 in the evening. Even with these re- strictions the local consumption is still about 25% over quota allowed. A large number of the citizens apparently do not realize the seriousness of the sit- uation and refuse to conserve power, The Ontario Hydro Power Commis- sion is going to crack down on Muni- cipalities going over their power quotas, and when this happens only the quota will be supplied each day. This will prove a hardship to prac- tically everyone, but especially to the Workingman, because it will undoubt- edly reduce his weekly pay. Monday of last week, with all in- dustry closed, the demand was 80 per cent of the quota. This proves that it is the domestic consumer that can make the required saving. Will you do your part. -GIRL, THREE, SAVES SISTER, AGED TWO The story of how 3-year-old Sheila Henry saved her baby sister, Sandra, 2, from a muddy pond on the family farm near Blyth was told the're.

Home to Town Hall Where Service Will Be Held With Which is Amalgamated The Gorrie Vidette and Wroxeter News - Single Copies -- Five Cents WINGHAM, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1948 Subscription, pm a Year in Advance KINSMEN ENTERTAIN MORT CHAMPS rrrrrrr , Tim Daly, Trainer of Toronto Maple Leafs,a Guest Speaker It was guest night at the regular Kinsmen Club meeting held at the Queen's Hotel, last Friday. President Art Loucks was in the chair, and guests included Mr. W, T. Cruick- shank Deputy District Governor Don Patterson of Hanover and the special speaker of the, evening Tim Daly trainer of the Toronto Maple Leafs. It was fitting that coinciding with the appearance of Mr. Daly as guest speaker, the Wingham Kinsmen Club played host to the Wingham Midgets, the W.O.A.A, softball champions. The boys were welcomed to the Kinsmen Club meeting by the president, and each boy was introduced by the man- ager of the chib, Mr. Gerry. It was quite evident that these young men enjoyed very much the period of fines which took up the earlier part of the evening. Of course the old stand by of smoking 'in restricted times still seemed to head the list of infractions but there were some new angles, intro- duced; such as the missing knife, which led to the maximum fine being levied on Kin fern Rafferty. Kin Tom was also appointed as Sergeant-At- Arms, which job gave him much pleas- ure in collecting the fines of the other members who were also tagged for in- fractions of etiquette and protocol. The highlight of the 'business meeting was the complete . report given by Kin Johnny Brent, chairman of the Char- ter Night Committee... The plans are nearly completed, and the hope"was expressed that the Kinsmen will turn out in good numbers to help decorate the Armouries Wednesday and Thurs- day nights preceeding the. Charter Night. It was also mentioned in the report that the catering will be under the direction of Mrs. Kay Grose, lyith Kinsmen wives apd girl. friends help- ing in the kitchen and waiting on the table. Kin Johnny called on the 'var- ibus sub-chairmen for their reports, and it seemed that the plans will be finalized this, week. One of the most important committees reporting was the Welcoming Committee headed by Kin. Vic Loughlean, who ,,expressed the hope that the men connected with the welcoming of the visiting Kin and civic officials would have a rehearsal so that the first impression might be a good impression. A public address system will be used in welcoming the visitors so that a feeling of Kinship will prevail from the beginning. The list of invitations has been extended, and according to preliminary returns, the Wingham Kinsmen. Club will play host to an everwidening guest list come Charter Night. Correspondence was read by Secretary Kin Scott Reid, and it was intimated that our charter has been accepted by the National Executive, and it will be duly framed and delivered in time for Friday, November 19th. The special speaker, Tim Daly, was introduced by Kin Andy Scott. Mr. Daly's remarks were directed especially to the Wingham Midgets, who were advised to train well . . live clean . . . play hard. Mr. paly drew upon his wealth of reminiscences to lillustrate how young athletes might work to reach their goal. Another point which was stressed in his in- teresting talk was the value of a good education as the basis for all good sports. Mr. Daly pointed out in his which requires the complete faculties remarks that sport today is a business, of mind and body highly developed. Aside from these preachments, Mr, Daly gave an insight into the work- ings of the Toronto Maple Leafs. . how much equipment is needed to supply a team. how teams travel on the road . and how each mem- ber is a goodwill ambassador for the club lie represents. Mr. Daly also brought out' the fact that scouts are ever on the alert for promising talent for the professional ranks, and each training season sees upwards of 50 youngsters trying out. If they are tak- en on the Leaf system, their education is assured while they are playing junior. and senior hockey, until they join, the minor pro and pro ranks, Mr. Daly ended his talk on a humorous note with amusing antedates he . has gathered over the years^ as trainer of hockey and baseball teams. After his. speech; Mr. Daly was thanked by' Kin Bill McVeatt, and the hope was held that Mr, Daly might visit us again in the near future. There was still the matter of the Kinsmen sponsoring a junior hockey team this season, and remarks to this effect were voiced by Kin Vic Loughlcan, After debate on. the subject, it was decided to lay this tnatter over until after Charter Night, when a clearer and more concise plc- hire could be obtained when the mat- ter of finances were straightened out, The meeting ended Ott a note of opti- tniSiti for the success of Charter -Night, and the hope that every Kuts- 10, SECOND .CONCERT, IN .SERIES COMING The second concert in the Wing- ham Concert Association series star- ring Andrew MacMillan, baritone anti Rachel ca,valtho concert pianist, will be heard on Wednesday evening, Nov. 17th, in the Town Hall.
