Ritchie Bell, B, A, DM., Moderator 'of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Can- ada preached at both services. At the morning service held at• the 'Awn Hall, he took as his subject, 'Windows toward Heaven," the text being taken from Daniel 6:10. Daniel was an exile in Babylon. When he wished to arouse the deepest emotions and aspirations he dreW back the cur- tain and turned his face and mind to ward Jerusalem. It is that attitude of mind which must come to be char- acteristic of our time if we are to find again the way we have lost. We have opened our windows to- , ward our modern cities of wealth and :material poisessions with our ears open to the clink of silver. Is it not time we were thinking of a new dir- ection? The open windows for Daniel 'gave -him clearness of vision and courage and reminded him of a higher world. There is nothing we need so much today as vision, courage and a sense of the ultimate, These we will receive if we remember to "open our windows toward Jerusalem." The evening service was held in the United Church when the Wingham Lions Club attended in a body in lion- our of the Moderator, who is a brother Lion. The subject for the evening was "The Meaning of Amsterdam," the story of the meeting of the General Connell of Churches which he had' the pleasure •of attending. His address was so interesting that it would he impossible to condense it, and we hope in some future issue to publish it in its intirety. The choir under the leadership of H. V.

ELSTON CARDIFF AGAIN CANDIDATE Progressive Conservatives Give Acclamation To Bitting Member .An enthusiastic and well attended nomination meeting was held by North Huron Progressive Conseiva- tives in Wingham Town Hall on Thursday evening. The nomination proceedings were brief as Mr. Elston Cardiff, member since 1940, was the only nominee, and became the unan- imous choice Of the convention, The crowd stood to applaud Mr. Cardiff as George Feagan R. R. 1, Goderich, chairman of the meeting, officially an- nounced the choice of the convention, Elston Cardiff "After an ovation like that," said Mr. Cardiff, "anyone can go out and win an election. Mr, Cardiff was nominated by Frank Donnelly, K. C., Goderich, and Dr. R. C. Redmond, Wingham. In a brief acceptance speebh he' said one man alone can't win an election, he had splendid support at both the 1940 and 1945 elections. He had tried to do what he could for everyone, re- gardless of political affiliation, and with the help of all he was not afraid of the results on June 27th. George Drew, he said, is not the dictatorial type 'as he; is pictured. "Where are we going to go, asked Mr, Cardiff, if we leave this govern- ment in power. The only way we will ever get our taxes clown is to remove this government. 'We want to be gov- erned by the people, and not by a bunch of bureaucrats as we are now. At the present, time we haven't any say in the government of the country. The Members of Parliament just have- n't any say.. The laws are passed and they come 'out in the papers before we know anything about them.

CHORAL CONCERT THRILLS AUDIENCE Junior and Senior Groups Perform Ninety singers from Wingham com- bined their talent last Friday evening to thrill a capacity audience in the Town Hall, It was a yaried program and was calculated to please every- body's taste. The Junior Group opened the program with a group of four folk songs arranged for two part singing. Following this group was a ladies trio sung by Miss Marjorie Cope- land, Mrs. W. B. McCool and Miss Elizabeth MacInnes. Their voices were remarkably well blended and the audience showed their appreciation in no uncertain terms. The Senior Choral Group opened their part of the program with. a bril- liant performance of two excerpts from Handers Messiah, then went on to prove their versatility by singing choral numbers ranging from the Messiah group to the gay, light-heart ed "Donkey Serenade." A thrilling climax to the recital was the singing of "God Save the King" arranged by Stanford. This performance made one feel proud to be called Canadian. Assisting and lending variety and colour to the program were Mrs, Ross Hamilton, soprano soloist, Mr. Ber- nard Rutledge, tenor soloist, and Sam Burton, violinist. Judging from the reaction of the audience and from the many encouraging remarks following the concert, the soloists, the choral groups, the accompanist, the ladies trio, the director should all feel that their efforts were worthwhile. It was a generous, responsive audience and it 'encouraged the efforts of all per- formers. A word about the accompanist, Mrs. Nelson Pickell,-this gracious lady somehow finds time to be a farm housewife and takes part in numerous other activities besides acting as ac- companist for the groups and for the assisting artists. Her accompaniments were an outstanding feature and both audience and artists alike were en- thiisiastic in their praise of her fine work. Many People Helped Yes, that is what made the concert a success- The decorating committee, the lunch committee, the ticket com- mittee, the piano moving committee, (with special thanks to Charlie Llyod). Elieryone did his part and so they all deserve a full measure of thanks and appreciation. Thanks are due to the 'High School for the loan of their excellent piano which added much to the performance. Once again the in- vitation is extended to all people of Wingham and district to become members of the Choral Groups when they come together next Fall. Parents who want their children to .have ad- ditional choral experience and train- ing are invited to send their children. This invitation will be repeated in more specific terms next fall. The Choral 'Groups were under the direction . of Sam Burton, Director of Recreation, and are projects of the Wingham Recreation Council. Follow- ing the concert lunch was served in the Council Chamber. After refresh- emnts were served, Rev. W. A. Bee- croft, President of the Senior Group, presented Mrs. Picket! and Mr. Burton with Concert Memberships on behalf of the Choral Group, Good 'Catches of Trout A number of local followers of Izaac Walton, report that speckled trout fish- ing has been very good, and some nice ones landed. Last week Jack Hen- derson had a real good catch and was proudly displaying trout which measured fourteen inches. No doubt competition for the trophy cups will be keen this year.

MODERATOR VISITED ST. ANDREW'S SUNDAY Rt. Rev. C. Ritchie Bell,. B.A., D.D,, Preached at Both Services DURHAM CHILD SAVED FROM POOL Susan Irwin, three-year-old daugh- ter of Dr, and Mrs, T. 0, Irwin was rescued from the wading pool in the park opposite her home on Friday. She had been playing with her tri- cycle in front of her home shortly before noon, took the notion to cross the street into the park where she made her way into the wading pool, She was soon in difficulties and off her feet, when noticed by Percy Mur- dock, crossing a bridge 100 yards away on his way home to dinner, He dashed to the pond and found the child floating unconseious,face down- wards, He rushed her home, where she was attended by her father, and soon brought around. She is ,none the worse for her experience, Susan is a granddaughter of Dr. and Mrs. W. M. Connell./ BELL SINGERS UNIQUE GROUP "Professional amateurs" is the way Dr. Leslie Bell describes his famous Bell Singers, Two nights a week, and each Saturday and Sunday during the broadcast season of their Canadian General Electric radio programme, the charming, lively Bell Singers, describ- ed by one journalist as 'fresh-faced, cologne-scented lovelies% gather for rehearsal under the direction of their noted choral director. Each girl has already put in a hard five or five-and- a-half days' work as school teacher, secretary, clerk, physiotherapist, uni- versity student, or any of a dozen oth- er callings. Yet, their love of singing and the appeal of rehearsing with Leslie Bell has captured the loyalty of these talented young women, Sitting in rehearsal with this unique girl's choir, it becomes obvious that practice is fun despite the almost gruelling taste of endurance to which Dr. Bell often subjects his group be- cause of his insistence on perfection. There are no breathing exercises, no- monotonous scales, no formalities for these 'professional amateurs'-amat- curs because Dr.. Bell likes to work with singers who' haven't had the mechanics of singing drilled into them the professional. way..:. His method speaks for itself 'in concert engage-., ments, for the charm, freshness, and enthusiasm of the Bell Singers con- tribute to their reputation as the best all-girl chorus on the Continent. You will have an opportunity of hearing them at Wingham United Church, on Saturday, June 4th, at 8.30 p.m., sponsored by Wingham Lions ss, Miteiv1111111111111 iiiiiii 11.11 llllll 11111 lllll 1 lllllll 1111111111111.1111111111111111111 1 11111111111111 llllll 111111111 llllllll 1 lllllllll 11111111//// lllll $11 lllll lllll friittittrillilitillift(1111,1111ifittitilikfigt ll l lllllllllllllllllllllllllll l lll tiOilito;lAillitlitilikkimili11400411011'04104.1104401011 l lll VII Wi 0411th At the request of several Merchants and others, I hereby declare PROCLAMATION A PUBLIC CIVIC HOLIDAY and tall upon all good citizens to observe the same.
