the firemen. When first discovered_
a call was sent in to the Blyth tele-
phone exchange with the result that
brigades from Blyth, Goderich and.
Clinton answered the call. Much cre-
dit was given the Blyth operators,

DISTRICT PRESIDENT 1 8'1"s'ItrecristtnouncediAUBURN STORE BURNS
SUNDAY MORNING VISITS . INSTITUTE
Local Branch Wins First Prize
At London Fair
The September meeting of the
Wingham Women's Institute was held
on Thursday afternoon, with the pre-
sident, Mrs. James Walpole in charge.
During the business period a Tag
Day for the Blind, Saturday, Sept.
24th., was arranged for. A motion w,as
passed to donate $25 to the Children's
Memorial Hospital at London. Con-
veners were appointed to arrange for
an autumn euchre and approval given
for purchasings. twelve more steel card
tables.
TheThe highlight of the meeting was
the official visit of the district presi-
dent, Mrs. Lorne Scrimegeour of
Blyth. Mrs. Scrimegeour gave a 'Rum-
orous and interesting address, the title
of which was "Mothers' Rights." She
envisaged a heaven on earth if moth-
ers secured their full rights but left
the thought that diligent and conscien-
tous parents as a rule could be proud
of their modern families. Mrs. Sctim-
egour felt delinquent parents were
more to be criticized than delinquent
children.
For the month's motto, "All work
and no Play, makes Jack a dull Boy,"
Mrs. Marsh prepared a short but
splendid paper which in her absence
was read by Mrs. W. J. Henderson,
In keeping with the motto the mem-
bers replied to the roll call by telling
where they spent their vacations.
The success of • the Wingham
Branch at the Western Fair was com-
mented upon, In the display of handi-
crafts, group of five, the Wingham
Branch received first prize for their
entries. Their display consisted of a
crocheted dinner cloth, a pair of cut-
work pillow cases and a table set by
Mrs. Herb Campbell, a colonial need-
lepoint picture by Miss Kathleen Prin-
gle and an antique chair with needle-
point by Mrs. A. R. DuVal.
The Current Event convener, Mrs.
A, R. DuVal, stated that the Insti-
tutes were willing and quick to sup-
port projects for helping the physical
needs of the old, the young and the
handicapped but wished that this
branch and thg branches of this dis-
trict would also give attention and
support to spiritual and cultural needs.
She mentioned that Canadian Poetry
Magazine, Canada's top journal of
verse, had to receive gift contributions •to keep going. The late Lord Tweeds-
muir when Governor-General of Can-
ada said, "We must keep Canadian
Poetry Magazine going because it is
one of the best things we have." Lady
Tweedsmuir is still an Institute mem-
ber in England and we must remem-
ber it was she who sponsored our
Tweedsmuir Institute Chapbook His-
tories and it would certainly seem in
keeping if the Institutes did their
'share also in encouraging and develop-
ing Canadian writing. "Food for
Thoughts" should be a Canadian ex-
port not an import.
Mrs. Morris Swanson and Mrs,
Vance Sandesron sang a beautiful duet
and the meeting concluded with a
dainty lunch served by the hostesses
for the month of September.
Several ladies from this branch at-
tended the Hobby Fair held in Tees-
water last week. The highlights were
demonstrations in clay work and
flower arrangements. Afternoon tea
was served.
Chiropractic Office Closed
The office of J. A, Fox will be clos-
ed Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
this week, while he attends a Chiro-
practic Convention.
Hospital Sewing Group Met
The So Sew Group at the Hospital
met on Monday, September 12th, for
sewing. The social hostesses were
Mrs. F. E. Madill and Mrs W. W.
Gurney.
KLETT FARM
SILO CRUMPLES
Three men narrowly escaped ser-
iom injury last Wednesday afternoon
when the silo which they were filling
with corn on the farm of James Mc-
Ewing on the 13th concession of Hul-
lett Township, collapsed, A farm gang'
had almost filled the 80-foot heavy
concrete silo when Mr. McEwing and
two neighbours, Arthur Colson and
William Knox, who were inside the
structure, heard a snapping, cracking
sound and hurriedly got out before the
sides caved in. The tightly packed en-
silage was scattered over the yard.
Several pieces of concrete fell on the
new aluminum roof of a nearby barn,
tearing off some of the metal sheets
and breaking the sheathing.
The collapse of the structure was
attributed to time over-tight packing
of the heavy crop of large eared corn.
