!provided. To be of any real value Wingham Advance-Times liam's traffic and parking difficulties
is the narrowness of Josephine Street, •
the main traffic artery on which the
business section of the town is Inca-
' tut. The first thing to do then is to
widen that thor,inehffare and that can
only be done by removing the curbs.
At the must that will only give one
more traffic lane, but that 'would be
a big help, and probably save the val.
nable lives and limbs of sonic of our
citizens.
In the second place, because our
main street will still be far to narrow
to handle the volume of traffic, and,
at the same time, provide parking
space along both sides, other suitable
and convenient parking areas might be
-r• riding European sovereignity. Mere
expansion of nationalism to European
dimensions is considered neither prac-
tical nor ethically sound. The idea is
to create a new European organiza-
tion to which sovereign powers can
be delegated in certain fields and then
if it works, expand and strengthen it.
Members will not have to accept the
concept of joint European responsibil-
ities, Defense problems will for the
time' being be handled by the -North
Atlantic pact and the Western Union.

KNOW WINGHAM
About four miles east of Wingham,
beside 'the Little Maitland River and
easily reached by Highway 86 and
C.N.R., is the pretty little village of
Bluevale. The first pioneer settlers
Jacob Cantelon and Alex, Duncan, set-
tied there around one hundred years
ago. The lots on the east side of the
village were surveyed off Mr. Cantel-
on's farm and the lots on the west side
off 'Mr. Duncan's farm. Mr. Cantel-'
on's brother, Peter, grandfather of the
oldest present generation of Cantelon's
in Wingham, settled soon after on the'
B. Line about a mile northeast of the
village. Mr. Jacob Cantelon donated
the lot where the old Orange Hall
stood to the Orangemen and was the
first W. M. in 1856.

these parking areas must he close to
i dle shopping and business centres of
the town, At first thought it would
!went feasible to utilize vacant lots
behind stores, along the short lanes
lin the business district and on the
nearer side streets, Edward and Cen-
tre.
However, it should he remembered
that for psychological reasons, as
proven time after time in other plac-
es, motorists will not look for or use
parking• lots on other' streets while
there is any possibility of parking on
the street on which they wish to do
business, They would much rather, in
fact they will insist in even danger-
ausly and inconveniently parking on
the street where theydo their business,
Soi the third thing to consider, is
the possibility of finding suitable park-
ing spaces on Josephine Street. For-
tunately, there are at least two such
parking areas that immediately appear
suitable for that purpose. The nor..
them part of the business district on
Josephine Street would be well served
by a parking lot along the southside
of the Horticultural Park. Such a
parking lot would also be handy to
that park and the present athletic
park.
The even mare-congested southern
part of the business:, district would be
well served by a parking lot along
the east side of the south end of Jos-
ephine Street, Such a parking area
would also be conveniently located to
serve any park developmests, in that
part of town. Thus with two conven-
ient parking lots on our main street,
motorists from out of town should be
glad to avail themselves of such ex-
cellent accommodation, Those are our
ideas for eliminating, as much as pos-
sible, our traffic and parking difficult-
ies,- No doubt the investigating com-
mittees will be glad to,, hear of any
other suggestions, The .need is urgent
for a solution to these problems.

WAR DANGER LESS NOW
James Forrestal, secretary of de-
fense, strongly indicated recently that
the world situation has improved
markedly since last spring and that
the limits placed by President Tru.
man on defense expenditures reflected
that improvement, Mr. Forrestal told
an audience at a National Press Club
luncheon that funds asked by the joint
chiefs of staff of the three armed for-
ces had originally totalled $30 bil-
lion for the fiscal year 1950, twice the
limit later set by the President,
The U. S. .Secretary of Defense also
stated emphatically that the figure was
',not unwise or ill-advised at that
time." This becomes apparent, he haid,
"if you project yourself back to last
summer, and from the conditions that,
flowed from the events of the spring,."
Among these events which began last
March were the mysterious death leap
of Jan Masaryk in Prague, the Com-
munist coup in Czechoslovakia, and
the impasse with the Soviet Union
over Berlin which led to the inaugur-
ation of the airlift. It is a welcome re-
lief to have even a slight lessening of
td the war tension between Russia and
eth Western Democracies.

5 EUROPE COUNCIL
READY SOON
I If present plans work out the first
NI meeting of the Council of Europe will
rs- be held in Stras.bourg before the end
of 1949, )t was learned recently in
1 authoritative quarters, in London. In
'el British Government circles there is
every confidence that a draft constitu-
it tion can be drawn up by the perma-
nent commission of the Western Un-
o ion- before the foreign ministers of
II Brussels powers meet again in April.
111 Diplomatic soundings already are
being made to see which countries are
willing to be founder members. Italy
_ has already accepted. Norway, Swe-
j mi den and Denmark are being asked and
the other traditional European neutral
Switzerland, is also being invited.
Portugal is another possibility, but
Spain will definitely not be invited so
long as Franco remains in power. The
general idea is to expand the Western
Union Bloc until all Organization for
European Economic Recovery govern-
ments are members and ,after 1952

South played the above hand at
three no trump, and the opening lead
by West was the three of spades.
Winning with the eight, South contin-
ued with the king, finessed the jack
and cleared the suit.
On the third trick East wanted to
signal to his partner with the eight
of diamonds, but it required little im-
agination on his part to see that to do
so would mean throwing away what
might be the setting trick, and he
couldn't afford that cost.
Instead he conveyed the same mes-
sage to his partner almost as strongly
by the negative action of discarding
the three of hearts on the third trick
and then the two of clubs on the age
of spades.
Although a low discard is not as
strong a negative signal as the high_
low echo is a positive one, Still it tells
your partner (if he is adept and
awake) that you prefer 'that 'he not
lead a suit from which you have made
a low discard.
Following the ace of spades the jack
of hearts was led from dummy, and
when West won with the king he
112, acted on East's "negative" instructions
MI and returned his nine of diamonds. In
a consequence East was able to knock
F._-• out South's ace of diamonds before
giving up his king of clubs, and there-
by set the contract one trick.
A greater percentage of contracts
will be defeated as more players learn
to defend co-operatively with their
combined hands of twenty-six cards.
