This winter's mild weather has proved the point beyond dispute, that if there is to be curling in this area then there has to be artificial ice. It is not a small undertaking in a town of 2300, in a curling club of 150 members. Only a club possessed by an enthus- iastic curling spirit would have gum- ption enough to take on such a pro- ject, Moreover no one will question that it is among the important things of community life that the men who carry the burden of toil and respon- sibility should have some facilities for recreatioe. It is in the minds of the Curler as well that as soon as artificial ice is installed a Ladies Curling Club will at once come 'into being. Beyond that again our high school students and teen agers will have ample oppor- tunity to play this great Canadian winter game, when artificial ice is ,in- stalled in our Curling Rink. Reports of substantial subscriptions are already coming in, The way is open not only for enders but for nos curlers who are public spirited, to help undewrite this worthy Community project. • Return Game Scheduled for Wingham Arena Tonight Grabbing an early lead and hanging on to it throughout the entire game, Milverton Lions swamped Wingham Beavers, 9-3 to take the first game in the W.O.A.A. junior "a' group hockey finals at Milverton on Monday night.

Many Guests And. Prospective - Kin Entertained It was a gala anniversary affair with the Wingham Kinsmen Club last Fri- day night at the Queen's Hotel. Ob- serving the Anniversary of Kinship, the Club played host to many .guests and prospective' kinsmen during the evening. President Art Loucks was in the chair for most of the evening, only relinquishing his position to Kin Cy Scott, after President Art found it im- possible to get anything to eat, due mostly to the vigorous fines which were being imposed from all sides. Johnny Brent was song-leader, which added much to the gaiety of the gath- ering. In between the fines committee reports were received, Kin Vic Lough- lean, of the Sports Committee display- ed the new Kinsmen Bantam hockey sweaters, and attendant on this, urged members to come out and support the bantam in their remaining games. The attendance was up considerably over the previous meeting, and President Art suggested that further improve- ment could be expected in the near future.' The motion picture "Hockey Cavalcade" which was to have been shown at this meeting failed to arrive from Toronto, but through the kind- ness and co-operation of Norman Dic- kenson of Wingham, interesting pic- tures were shown during the evening, dealing with life in Central and South America. During the interval between showings, Bob Clark presented a pro- gram of excellent records of famous speeches entitled "I Can Hear It Now." After the motion picture pre- sentation, the remaining items of busi- ness were disposed of, and the meeting was brought to adjournment. Kin Vic in charge of Fellowship for the anni- versary meeting announced that games would follow the regular meeting, and an excellent time was reported by the Kinsmen and their guests. The next regular meeting of the Wingham Kinsmen Club will be held I on Friday night, March 4th, at the Queen's Hotel. The usual good attend- ance is requested. THE RED CROSS AND YOU Human suffering takes many forms. It may strike as illness and pain, as misfortune and natural catastrophe, as bewilderment and hopelessness against overwhelming odds. To alleviate these sufferings, to pre- vent disease and to promote the health and welfare of the people of Canada— that is the task of the Canadian Red. Cross Society, the task of its workers and its members—ever renewed, ever- necessary. As a good neighbor, as a responsible human being, each one of us wants to. aid distress wherever we rimy find it and to prevent, if possible, its occur- rence, In the complexities of the mod- ern world, one man's hand is not enough. Only the co-operative effort of a great Society, geared to work ef- ficiently, quickly and humanely, can I hope to stem the flood of misfortune, lof accident and emergencies that can :overtake any one of us. Only a great Society, international in scope, can. bring hope to millions of our fellow- men in other portions of the war-scar- red globe, The highest of human ideals—con- cern with hte welfare of others—is the motivating force of Red Cross, To translate this ideal into action, Red Cross and its thousands of volunteer worker need the help of every person in Canada. By contributing your share in the 1949 March appeal for $5,000,- 000, which opens next Monday, you become an active partner in one of the greatest humanitarian forces work- ing for good in the world today, BINGO!

The ladies responded in a splendid manner to the invitation, The novelty of sitting down to a sumptuous supper prepared by those of the sterner sex, appealed to them, and their fondest expectations were amply realized.

Free and open discussion followed and a vote was taken which may result in clarifying the organ atmosphere. Then tables were erected and the seventy persons present settled down to the game ,of Court Whist.
