Single Copies - Five Cents. WINGHAWONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 1949
The Wingham Concert Association
ended a highly successful season of
concerts last Wednesday evening with
an excellent recital by two remarkably
gifted artists. Margaret Ireland con-
cert pianist held her audience spell-
bound -as she .drew from the concert
grand piano every shade of tone from
the crashing chords in the forthright
Apassionata Sonata of Beethoven to
the beautiful subdued notes of the De-
bussy group. Miss Ireland's outstand-
ing feature was her ability to produce
highly, chords that flooded the hall
with rich sound. Just as remarkable
was her skill in returning suddenly to
the soft controlled passages. Added
to these two considerable abilities was
her flawless technique, After hearing
her this writer has no hesitation in
stating that the werld will one day
know Margaret Ireland for she nas so
much latent ability besides that which
she has developed so far. At any rate,
she has definitely made a prof and im-
pression upon the people of Wingham
and district. We shall want Miss Ire-
land back for another recital soon,
Miss Doris Swan, coloratura so-
prano, gave us a brilliant recital, using
her fine voice like a well-tuned instru-
ment. Miss Swan's choice of musi
was well suited to her flexible colora-
tura voice and was particularly thrill-
ing to the audience. The audience felt
afterwards that it would like to hear
these fine artists separately as it was
not possible to bear enough of either
one in the space of time allotted to
each to completely satisfy. Miss Vie
Petroff was accompanist for Miss
Swan,

THRILLS AUHIENCE
Season Closes Successfully
Few organizations operate such
wide-spreading facilities for the amel-
ioration of want and suffering as The
Salvation Army. In borne, hostel or
hospital, all its efforts are in the Name
of Him who said, "Inasmuch as ye
have done it unto one of the least
of these my brethren, ye have done
it unto Me,"
By multiplied methods The Salva-
tion Army takes "light to those who
sit in darkness." Both, by message and
means, hope is inculcated and care is
afforded those who are the victims
either of their own wrongdoing or of
the misdeeds of others.
Those whom The Salvation Army
helps represent a variety of human
needs. Some are forgotten. Some need
material aid. Many are sick in spirit.
It is the mission of The Salvation
Army to help those who are at odds
with themselves, their Maker, and the
world. And its record during 80 years
of activity is a successful one. The
Salvation Army is good at its job
The interest of The Army has
meant the difference between health
and sickness, between comfort and
misery, even between life and death,
to tens of thousands of people whose
needs have been such as to bring them
within the wide sweep of The Salva-
tion Army's ministrations.
During the Red Shield Appeal for
funds currently in progress the people
of Wingham and district will have an
opportunity of, helping The Salvation
Army in its tremendous, self-imposed,
need-demanding task. Let us all "give
from the heart" to an organization
which has abundantly demonstrated its
willingness to "serve from the heart."

RUMMAGE SALE
BEAT SUCCESS
Proceeds Exceed Last Year
The Spring Rummage Sale sponsor-
ed by the Ladies Auxiliary to Wing-
ham General Hospital and held in the
Armouries has come and gone and
was again an outstanding success. The
proceeds were $710,45, which was
8100.00 more than a year ago./It was
estimated that never before had so
much been received for sale. Some
idea of the number of articles of
men's and women's clothing may be
gathered when it is realized that over
600 clothes hangers were used for
those alone. Other departments had
the same abundance of goods to be
sold. All day Friday members of the
Auxiliary were at work sorting and
marking the dotsdtions which were
brought in by car and truck. The
doors opened at two o'clock on Satur-
day; over 100 volunteer sales people
were kept busy and by four o'clock
practically everything had gone. Many
people came from long distances to
share in the bargains. This is the main
money making project of the Auxil-
iary and already plans are under way
for the fall rummage sale. The pro-
ceeds are used to purchase bedding,
dishes, nurses' supplies, etc., for
the hospital.
The rummage sale is fast becoming
a community event, and the co-opera-
tion received from the citizens cannot
be over estimated, The Auxiliary ex-
tends thanks to everyone who assisted
in any way towards its success. The
various departments report the fol-
lowing proceeds:
Furniture $ 15.05
Men's & Women's Clothing 290.45
Children's Clothing 123.07
