The way things stand at present it seems unlikely that more than a very few thousand out of all the residents in Western Ontario will catch even a glimpse of the royal couple. They are scheduled to make only one stop in our area, at the London station, for approixmateiy 15 minutes. Knowing the layout of the London depot and the con- gested' area through which the railway line approaches the downtown area in that city, we fail to see how more than a hundred people will have any opportunity to see the royal guests at all. These remarks are not intended to be merely critical of the efforts of the Ottawa committee which has done the planning. The arrangements for such a tour must be the source of many ferocious headaches, for there are bound to be hundreds of areas in the Dominion which feel slighted by failure to give them greater consideration. We don't envy these men their jobs, but we do think that the Western Ontario district should have been allowed more than one or two whistle stops. Otherwise, is' ot the whole purpose of the royal trip counteracted? Surely the Princess and her Consort are coming to Canada to be seen by and become better acquainted with the people of this country.. There are very few areas, outside the large cities, which are more densely populated than Western Ontario, and apparently only a privileged.. few will have any chance at all. We can well imagine the trouble a person from Wing-- ham would have in securing a place in the crowded station area. He would have to be on hind well ahead of time and stand for endless hours. Children. will have practical- ly PO opportunity whatsoever to see the, young couple about whom they have heard so much, Most people will simply decide that the chance of seeing the potable visitors. will be so slim that they will not even try. most people have missed in recent years. In addition to the music of the separate and massed bands, there are five entertainment spots on the program, so it should be a good evening in all, • DUNDAS SOLVES JUVENILE DELINQUENCY The following story which appeared last week in the daily press, though submitted as news copy, serves in it-, self as editorial continent on a subject which is much in, the public mind at present 'Kids in Dundas don't duck out of sight when they see a policeman. Any running done is in the opposite direc- tion. "Chief hate Jack says his only problem with young- sters—in this town where there are no juvenile delinquents , —is that he can't remember all their names. In many in- stances the police are closer to the younger citizens than are their parents. "For seven years no adolescent has appeared in court,' Yet, on one occasion ten years ago, 39 boys were in custody- at one time. The empty police blotter, says Chief comes from a full program of activity for adolescents. Sports, a band and a glee club maks up the program.

JUNIOR BAND DESERVES YOUR HELP In line with the thought which is suggested above it seems fitting that we suggest your support of the Band Tattoo in the town park this evening. The event is being sponsored by the Band of the Twenty-first Anti-Tank Regiment in order to raise funds for the Boys' and Girls' Band. We sincerely hope that there will he an excellent turnout for the tattoo and that the financial returns will be well worthwhile. Though there have been no public performances by the young musicians, it is understood that the junior band is shaping up nicely and there is every prospect that it will eventually be a first-class asset to the town. When we recall that junior bands in many other places have become quite famous for the excellence of their achieyenments, it is apparent that the very extensive effort involved is quite worth while. And, speaking of the effort, let no one minimize the time and trouble required for the training of such a group of youngsters. Having been a member of a junior band in our own youth we can easily recall the high percentage of tomfoolery which necessarily accompanied the training. in fact we wonder why the bandmaster didn't break our necks iii a moment of exasperation. Not only does the'teaCher himself devote endless hours to the task, but in Wingham, the parents have formed a group to encour- age the work and lend what assistance thy can, a certain. indication that they appreciate the value of band training. If you, too, believe the Boys' and Girls' Band is worth- while, your contribution to the tattoo in the form of admissions purchased, will be most helpful. Call up your friends and suggest that they go along too. You can buy tickets from any member of the band, or at the gate if you have not secured them ahead of time, The very best part Burney. of this event is that you will get ample value for your Mr. and Mrs. Reg Bitton and fain- money, for the old-fashioned band tattoo is something - In Stock for Your Convenience - 3" thick Rockwool Insulating Batts 8' & 20' lengths 2" thick Rockwool Insulating Batts 4' & 8' lengths Granulated Wool for Hard to Reach Places BEAVER LUMBER CO, LITTLE BUILDER SAYS ...
