It is now freely admitted that the Winghare. Business College is one of the high-class and most popular Business Schools of Ontario, Owing to it being a link in a chain of seven high grade schools and being affiliat- ed with the Commercial Educators' Association of Canada, its graduates enjoy a prestige which gives them the best positions available.

Last Sunday, Rev. D. Perrie, pastor of St. Andrew's Church, discussed the question of Church Union. From what we can gather, Rev. Perrie is not in favour of Union of the Church- es, believing that where overlapping occurs, it may be prevented by spec- 0 ial arrangement, and in the end prove more advantageous than organ- 0 is union, The vote will be taken be- fore many weeks pass.

The action has now been dis- missed with costs to appellants. At the annual meeting of the Belmore public school section in December, 1925, James Stokes was elected trus- tee for 1926 by a show of hands, but on a poll being demanded an election was held a week later, when George Herd was elected trustee by ballot. The trustee board, however, ciansid- ered that Mr. Stokes was the legally elected trustee and refused to recog- nize Mr, Herd's election.. • 0 - 0 - 0 FIFTEEN YEARS AGO At a recent inaugural meeting of the Public School Board, Trustee W. F. Burgman was chosen chairman. Dr. F. A. Parker was re-appointed to the High School Board. Principal S. G. Kidd was appointed to the Lib- rary Board for a three-year term. The other representative on the Lib- rary board appointed by the School Board were Mrs. F. A. Parker, whose term expired December 31st,, 1938, and William Robertson whose term expired December 31st., 1927. Dr. George A. McQuibban, member of the Ontario Legislature for Wel- lington North, died in Toronto, early Saturday. Former Liberal leader in the Ontario House, he took his regu- lar place in the Legislature last Thursday, but took suddenly ill. Born at Ingersoll, September 2nd., 1886, Dr. McQuibban was educated in Har- riston. The February meeting of the Wingham and District Ministerial Association was held at the Manse, Wingham, on Monday, February 1st., at 2 p.m, In the absence of the Presi- dent, Rev. J. R.

Right here in \\Ingham we have an acute need for more hospital space. With the need increasing day by day and costs climbing it is doubtful whether there will be any time better than the present for building. Let's look at the facts.- Rated as a -18-bed hospital, the daily average of patients is 70, with as many as 96 having been cared for at one time. Wingham General Hospital is proud of the fact that a patient has never been turned away, vet there must be a limit somewhere to this overtaxing of facilities and staff. At the recent annual meeting of the Hospital Board there wasn't a shred of hope held out for an addition to the hospital now or in the near future, even with the help of the government grants available for building. H. C. MacLean, management committee chairman, voiced the idea at the meeting that some tremendous drive NEWS would have to be put on for funds, similar to the present . The 9th line euchre club held a party in the school house last Friday evening. The families of each section were included in the party and twelve tables of cards were played. For the lady and gent holding high points, the prizes went to Mrs. Kenneth Wheeler and Lewis Stonehouse, while consolation prizes went to Murray McDowell and Harold Woods, who played a lady's card. Lunch was served and a special collection taken for the purchase of a radio for the school.

CANADIAN GOVERNOR GENERAL There has been a great deal of comment on the ap- pointment of Vincent Massey as Canada's new Governor , General, succeeding Viscount Alexander. While no one has raised a voice to challenge Mr. Massey's qualifications, there is a difference of opinion with regard to the advisa-; bility ofthe move. tinguished Briton in the post is a strong tie with Britain On the one harel ther.• aee those who feel that a dis-1 BOX 473 and the Empire, which is certainly true. The other camp is all for the move, strong in the belief that Canada has To the Editor, grown up and must show her independence. However, this move to us seems to be a wise com- promise. It shows the United States clearly that Canada really rules herself and that is a point on which many Americans could well be enlightened. On the other hand, Mr. Massey's service in England as Canada's High Com- missioner from 1935' to 1946 makes him known and accept- able to the British. It is our understanding that he is ad- mired and respected there. We do not see this move as the destroying of tradi- tions and symbols which have become clear to us nor do we see it as a loud declaration of our own independence.

Maurice TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO A very unfortunate accident hap- pened to Thomas Black ,while at work on the farm of James V. Breen, in East Wawanosh. The men were cutting down trees, and one tree had not fallen all the way. Mr. Black climbed up to saw off a limb, when he slipped and fell to the ground, striking his head on the frozen sod. The jar fractured his spine up near the neck, He is in a very critical condition in Wingham hospital. He is paralyzed from the chin down, but he remains conscious.
