Modern inventions have not taken away from the Infantry its
all-important part in victory. Again and again, in the battles of
1939-13 and in Korea, Infantry has proved itself —"Queen of
Battles". The job of the infantryman has become tougher, more
complex. He must be able to handle more weapons and to meet
a greater variety of situations in defence and attack.

W.KONESPAY, OCTOBER 24th, 1951 TFI VIN GIANT DVANa-TINIES rAGE Nom
Old Times
By S. Fisher
Within the last few weeks I have
been asked by several townspeople if
I were going to write more .articles
on Old Times.. My eurprise in these
questions was that comparatively
new comers were much interested
in old town incidente, few now living
are privileged to recall,
Right now, I am thinking of the
new front being installed on Mr. Wm.
Clark's store next to Stainton's. That
was one of the earlier locations of
the Wingham Post Office and as my
father was postmaster for over forty
seyen years I remember many inci-
dentse, in connection with that building
and those adjacent to it. The out-
standing thing that conies to my mind
as I write now is the November night
when about nineteen, I was operated
on for appendicitis, beyond those four
front windows you can observe, below
the big crown, from the street.
Just in passing, here is a $64.00
question, and I will give a dollar to
the first one giving the correct ans-
wer, who had that crown placed up
there? That was in the days of Queen
Victoria and the"-'stare coach, when
we drank from a cup without a handle
Made out of half a cocoanut and when
a nut, meant a nut; and made you
think of a hardware store or a groc-
ery store, but never of a person.
The night of my first operation,
(oh, you had morn than one) my
brother elected himself to the pool-
tion of the first traffic officer Wing-
ham ever had; for lie stood in the
middle of the muddy road and slowed
down to a walk all vehicles going up
or down, establishing a zone of quiet
to give the patient up above, every
chance, for a while longer, to stay
down below. I fancy that is what is
meant by brotherly love,
My nurse was Miss Maxwell, Fol-
lowing upon a teaspoonful of barley
water the first day, she gave me
junket, and I rewarded her with a
rhyme,
At night when you lie down to bunk it
Bo sure to take with you some junket,
And then when you wake and the jun-
ket you take,
You roll off to sleep and curl up like
a snake.
'Tis easy to make, is this junket,
And many a time I have drunk it
It's as sweet as a rose
And as white as the snows
Drugs do not equal it to make you
doze.
It's smooth as a fish newly caught,
'Tis better when cold than when hot
Down your gullet you plunk it
To your stomach you've sunk it
And now you are happy, 'cause
Chock full of junket.
My specialist was Dr, John Wish-
art of London whose face was a ben-
ediction to behold.
My regular Dr. was J. P. Ken-
nedy, a man of commanding pres-
ence, an arresting personality, a man
of initiative and courage who inspir-
ed confidence and hope and without
whose vision and enterprize the
Wingham General Hospital might not
have been. I well remember the etir-
rine appeal he' made one night from
the stage of the town hall auditorium.
There is an excellent portrait of him
at the hospital and a plaque that ac-
companies it, hut instead of being
half-hidden away in a corner of the
office it should adorn the foremost
place in the building, and now, "Hon-
our to whom honour is due."
I fear in our day we stress the im-
portance of events and tend to forget
the characters who made the events
possible. Biography will ever he the
richest reading for mankind, and the
noblest personalities emblazoned on ;
the pages of h:story, will ever be the
most heroic examples, and the surest
inspirations to accomplishment in the
worthiest fields of endeavour.
Whatever be the honorable urge in
the heart of any who are young, let
it he worked out and developed at all
costs.
Yes, Wingham has possessed many
unusual people, grave and gay, and
methinks there was an individual ex-
pansion of character in the men and
women who put the corduroy roads
through this dense forest of Ontario
---men and women who were not
blacked out at night by the turret top
of a motor car, but who without fear
of a collision, saw the stars on their
homeward way and had time to medi-
tate upon the grand galaxy of the
heavens and commune without inter-
ruption with their Maker.
Oh, I know of the wonderful inven-1
tions that introduce manifold con-1
veniences; and yet, push buttons do I
not increase piety, and with all our ;
speed on land, sea and air, our fore-
fathers outstripped 'us in nobility of
character development, making up-
ward progress on their knees.
We used to have local preachers
when I was a boy. Half the men in
the churches were not merely mem-1
bens, they were theologians. They I
could conduct a service, if necessary, ;
just about as easily as men of today
take up a collodion. They thought on
things solid and sacred, on the moral:
mandates of the Almighty, of their,
accountability to God and their re- I
sponsibility to their brother man; and
men in any age, who do these things ;
are strong men in a crisis.
The progress in any civilization
that curtails man's freedom to think
and contemplate and pray, and ex-J
heart.
A modern writer claims that "we
learn each day that gain is expensive.
that each step advanced is as well a
retreat, that progress may be achiev-
ed only at a cost of an earlier pro-
gress, or of the spirit." Mark the
thunderous importance of those last
four words. "Or of the spirit,"
In conclusion listen to a trenchant
declaration rrom the prophet Isaiah.
What a personality description, the
flaming evangel of the Old Testament
portrays, when he declares, " A man
shall be as an hiding place from the
wind, a covert from the tempest, the
shadow of a great rock in a weary
land."
Down in Toronto my wife had a
laundress whose husband's name was
Charles. Now and again, .she would
ask this wife of Charles if she would
care to have one of my older shirts,
Invariably she would say, 'Charles
could do with a shirt."
We "could do" with a few .stalwarts
such as Isaiah describes. Let each of
us aspire to the highest.
