Ral- ston (Bill Conron), his two partners, Robert Bennett, (Jim Hobden), and Dick Donnelly (Jim Beninger) and a shrewd customer Van Dusen (Mike McPhail) are deep in argument as to stocks which must be sold but are known to be worthless. In the mean- time, Gwen, Ralston'S daughter, (Mrs. John Hopper), who is in lave with partner Robert Bennett asks him to invest for her $10,000 which must be doubled in a day or so.

The next two acts are in the parlor of the Ralston summer home on Long Islaneto which Robert has been tak- en for careful watching by the part- ners.

ARM MIRES 1••••.••• W. F. Burgman Was Agent Here From December 1912 years with the r W. F. Burg- e completing After compl about forty-,four man, C. N, R, agent here, retired op pension Sunday. Mr. Burgman began his railroad career at Milverton, Ontario, in the, year, 1905, spending one year there studying Telegraphy and Station work, under the direction of Charles Totten, Agent. His first position was at Tavistock, Ontario, assistant to the Agent, Jan- uary to June, 1906, when he was trans- ferred to the Thedford station as night operator, holding that position for „ about three years, Thedford at that time was located on the main line of the Old Grand Trunk Railway, where the Chicago, Montreal Trains opera- ted. From there he spent a short time relieving at Kitchener, Georgetown, and a few other points and was then appointed agent at Milverton, Ont- ario, his home town, remaining there. about 4 years. Promotions were fast In those days and on December 2nd., 1912, he was transferred to Wingham to take over the Agency, where he remained in that capacity until his retirement March 13th, 1949, almost 3'7 years at one station. This is a record time for any one agent at this station. During those years he met the early six AM train, approximately eleven thousand times Without a miss. When he first arrived in Wingham lie saw the last of the frozen buggy- and wagon ruts on our Main or Jos- ephine Street, as this street was paved the following year, '1913. During his sojourn here he has seen many business and other changes. At the time of his arrival there were 5, licensed hotels in full swing whereas now we'have only the Brunswick and the Queen's Hotels operating without licenses. The Brunswick Hotel, where he boarded for one yeaar, was oper-• ated by John Putland and at that time the Queens was operated by John Swartz, noted for his race hors- es. Almost every business place on the Main Street has changed hands since then, some of them several times. There were two weekly papers printed in Wingham, one The Advance and the other the Times, these were amal- gamated and now being operated und- er the name. "The Wingham Advance- Times". There was also a customs office located in the rear of the Post Office ,with the late Mr. Harry Davis as collector, He notes the new Industry that has been added to Wing-ham's many fine industries, that is Radio Station CKNX, owned and operated by W. T, "Doc" Cruickshank, this station has grown to such an extent that Wing- ham has been put on the map lot many miles around through the opera- tion of this station. Almost every other business is un- der a different management but there is one exception at least, Curly Som- ers is still doing business in the same shop, which is quite a record, Mr. Burgman wishes on behalf of himself, Mrs. Burgman and family, to thank his fellow employees, his broth- er agents and others who gathered on. the evening of Feb. 25th, for their many kind remarks and well wishes and for the lovely occasional chair presented to him at that time. If he at any time has been of any assistance to any of them, he has been amply rewarded as it was always a pleasure to him to work with them. On September 24th, 1913, he mar. ried Olive Lee Fenn of Parkhill, Ont., and they have lived in the same house on Frances Street ever since. During these years they have both made many warm friends both in Wingham and surrounding country and it is their in- tention to make Wingham "The best Town in Western Ontario" their per-, inanent home.

He spoke first of being a worthy citizen of the community and secondly, of being a worthy Utizen of the Country. He gave many examples of the- fine co-operation of pioneers of the country such as wood cutting beck, barn raisings, quilting parties. He also -recalled. the fine community spirit shown by a pioneer in the Talbot settlement near St. Thomas in the early days when a Serious shortage of seed grain occurred, Great strides had been made but he felt that there was a long way to go.

Roberts expressed his appreciation of Lion Bert Gray's ad- dress and moved a hearty vote of thanks to our District Deputy Gover- nor. On behalf of the Club this vote of thanks was passed on to Lion Gray by President Bill Tiffin. Tailtwister Cord Buchanan ably assisted by Lion Art Irwin kept the fines rolling. The advertising of the coining Lions play "Nothing but the Truth" in the Ad- vance-Times received considerable 'at- tention. Some Lions had added extra touches to their space, Lions Vern Dunlop and -Jack McKibbon came under this classification. Tailtwister ()ord. announced that Lion Bill McCool had recently attend- -ed a divisional meeting of the C.W.N. A. This abbreviation puzzled Lions and Lion Bill McCool promised a -prize for the best interpretation. Lion Stan Hall came across with the best answer" Caught With No Answer," and was awarded two cigars. Lion Stan asked Lion Hugh Carmichael to auction off the cigars, This was promptly carried out and the Clubs funds were substantially assisted. Lions Hall, Tyreman, Young, Robin- son and Sparling of Blyth along with Lion Bert Gray gave a very good account of themselves with a musical number. Lion Sam Burton drew considerable attention and at the request of the Tailtwister he stood up on a chair so Lions could check on his facial adorn- ment. At first it' was suggested that' snore barber shops were needed in Town but Lion Sam got off by prom. ising- to remove it immediately after the Lions play. President Bill Tiffin expressed the regret of the Club at losing Lion Clarence Richey as' an active and val- uable member. A letter had been dis- patched to Arnprior Lions advis- ing them to look after Lion Clarence, when he returns to his home town.
