Also to thank Dr. Connell, Mrs. Morrey and her staff of nurses. Marjorie Currie. 2, CARD OF THANKS To my many friends who remem- bered me with cards and gifts and to those who visited me in the hospi- tal, I would like to convey my thanks, Thanks too, to Mrs. Morrey and her At, present employed as a CKNX radio time salesman, he has been with the local station for nine years. Previous to that, he was nine years with Superior Converters of Toronto and Mount Forest as sales represen- tative for Western Ontario, Born in Escanaba, Michigan, he came to Ontario at the age of four with his family and attended schools in this district, later graduating from Wing- ham Business College. Bert is married and lives in a beau- tiful home on Diagonal Road, He be- came the proud father of a daughter on Christmas Day. He is a member of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church and also the Masonic Lodge, Baseball is his favorite sport and the one about which he is the most en- thusiastic. "The team has a lot of fight" says the new business manager, "I would like to thank the merchants for their liberal donations." "It is our idea to operate this team as a business. We hope to have $600 left in the bank each year with which to operate the team as a business project independ- ent of town donations hereafter." A great deal of the credit for the fine support given to the team goes to Bert, who has worked hard. The business executive consists of him- self as business manager; Mrs. Jean Leitch, treasurer and Charlie Hod- gins, transportation manager. UORRIE FORECASTS FOR 02 Basketball should take a big stride forward in this district, with the best town team to date winning their first two starts and good Senior and. Junior High School squads taking the floor this month. The Mohawks look to be a winning team this year having won both league games with Kincardine to date, As yet who will sponsor the softball team this year has not been settled but we're willing to bet that Charlie Crossett will find it hard to stay out of the softball picture, and perhaps this year will see a winning Crosset Mercury team. Ali/ETAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE If not a new high school at least a gymnasium where basketball, gymnastics and all other indoor sports can have a fair chance. With the Armouries the only available floor space, and not always available, the present arrangement is entirely unsatisfactory. Lots of support and membership at the Wingham golf course. It could be as nice as Walkerton with support from all local golfers. Facilities in Wingham for a recreation centre where young and old alike could hold dances and entertainments, at a moderate Cost. og DISSA.

The farmers, for the most part, were far too busy last year to put into practice all the things they wanted to do in the way of planting trees on wasteland and sheltcrbelts, around buildings and building farm ponds, The sportsmen, especially those with guilty consciences, kitten already firmly resolved not to take any trout less than 7 inches, to re- frain from exceeding the legal hag limits and never to shoot anything that is out of season. There are a lot of ue though, who are neither farmers nor sportsmen and whose only claim to being out-a' ' doors men is a common love of the beauties of the country side, what then can we do in the interests of conservation. In the first place we can resolve not to pick any of the native wild flowers which grow so plentifully in this district. Few people realize that the wholesale picking of our wild flowers is resulting in the extermi- nation of some of the most beautiful of the plants of our woods and fence rows. The trilliums, the dog tooth violets and the hepaticas were once quite plentiful, but have become quite rare in some districts as a result of this "rittbless picking, so let es resolve to admire our native floaters- in their natural surroundings whore others can enjoy them besides our- eelves. Another resolution which we might profitably make, is to go out and see for ourselves more of our wildlife in our woods. Lake Louise, near Banff, has been& called the "most beautiful single Scene' ilk North America." -quick Canadian Vatts, Canadians earning $80 ft week, ancV lead Paid more than half of the $6471-- /00,000 paid to Ottawa as perSozial inebrne tali in 1948,-0:Melt Canadian:
