Ministers Met
At Wingham
"A Trip Around Jerusalem," was
the title of a very illuminating
paper given before the members of
the "Wingham and District Council
of Churches.." on Monday afternobn,
March 3rd., at the home of Rev.
John Pollock, the president, Wing-
ham, by Rev. R. J. Boggs, Moles-
worth. He had been a chaplain with
the British forces stationed at Jeru-
salem in 1947.
One of his duties was to conduct
groups of soldiers on a two and a
half hour tour of places of historic
interest around the ancient city .
Trucks left them at the top of the
Mount of Olives and picked them
up two hours later. From the top of
the tower one has a magnificent
view of the surrounding area. At
the place where Jesus taught His
disciples, the Lord's Prayer is in-
scribed in every known language,
They followed the path along which
Jesus rode on Palm Sunday and
wept over the city and its people.
In the Garden of Gethsemane are
trees of great antiquity similar to
those of Jesus' day and the rock
where he knelt tb pray,„
Jerusalem, built on two ridges
with vieducte,..ercieebige_ ,the valley
below, is 2,000 feet aboVe sea level.
You look across a lifeless stretch to
the Dead Sea, 4,000 feet below. Visit-
ing the old section of the city which
is - in the handrof the. Mohammed-'
ans, one sees it much as it was in
Jesus' time. The new building area
is to the north and north west of the
old city. Following the road to Cal-
vary you are told "You are walking
on the stones Jesus trod when mock-
ed and forced to carry His Cross."
As one' visits the scenes of Jesus'
life around Jerusalem and the Lake
of Galilee you feel you are treading,
on hallowed ground.
Rev. D. J. Lane, Clinton, voiced
the appreciation of the members of
Mr. Boggs' vivid portrayal of the
scenes made forever sacred by the
feet of Jesus.
Rev. W. J. Moores, Belgrave, past
president, presided over the meeting
which was closed with prayer by
Rev. John Watt, Whitechurch. The
hostess, Mrs. J. Pollock was assisted
by Mrs. Fry and Miss M. Adams in
serving a much appreciated lunch.
The thanks of the guests were ex-
pressed by Rev. David Proctor of
Teeswater, in a few well-chosen
words.

The Wingham Figure Skaters and
the Stratford Skating Club combined
Saturday night to give one of the
most colourful and enjoyable even-
ings' entertainments held in Wingham
this winter.
It was b. surprise to those who had
not seen the Wingham girls in prac-
tice to see just how far they have
progressed with their skating. Three
of the 21 numbers on the programme
were presented by local girls start-
ing with the Grand March which
included' nearly 'all or the Wingham
skaters.
The Syncopets, twelve cute little
gals, gave a sparkling performance
on skates and the crowd loved, it,
These twelve syncopets were Dianne
Crossett, Dorothy Chamney, Sandra
Strong, Judy Lunn, Fay Lavigne,
Sharon Thompson, Mary Kae New-
man, Joan Colvin, Claudia, Hasel-
grove, Irene Saint, Jean Froome and
Ruth Fryfogle.
The Precision Twelve, all home
town gals, led off the second half, of
the program with a stirring military
march. They got a big hand from
the crowd and deserved it. The num-
ber ended with the forming of a pin-
wheel at centre ice. Members of the
precision twelve were Sandra Smith,
Alice Hayden, Joan Loughlean, Mar-
lene Stainton, Doreen Meehan, Mary
Frances Currie, Mary Ann 1VIcKibbon,
Phyllis Hamilton, Gail Colvin, Lois
Crawford, Rosemary Adams and
Nancy Hutchison.
The Stratford Figure Skating Club
did a grand job with a huge cast
which must have numbered about 90.
Some very beautiful performances
were turned in by the Stratford skat-
ers. Joan Finnegan, a lovely young
performer, hypnotized ,the crowd with
her solos. Walter Thomas almost
stole the show with his comic im-
personations of a baseball pitcher and
a slightly inebriated gentleman. Sev-
eral of our local girls were kissed
soundly by Walter who escaped with-
out even a black eye,
Ross Smith, professional with the
Stratford club and instructor for the
Wingham skaters, did two breath
taking numbers, one a black face
routine inpersonating Al Jolson. Mr.
Smith gave the finest male perform-
ance of the evening and the audience
wanted more.
Young Wayne Graham stole the
hearts of the girls, both young and
old, in his solo numbers. Wayne is
just a little gaffer, all of three of four
feet high.
The dance groups were very popu-
lar and the most spectacular number
was the ballet with lovely Judy Boltz
as soloist, The costumes and the
lighting made this selection a stand-
out, '
Rosemarie Ganci, Colleen Colvin,
Norah Mann and Joyce Williams all
added to the pleasant scenery,
Ross Smith is to be congratulated
for the work he had done with the
Wingham figure skaters. We hope
there will be some skaters develop
on a par with the Stratford girls.
Don't forget the meeting to-night
in the council chambers to discuss the
formation of a club here.

BUSINESSMEN TO
MEET THURSDAY
There will be a meeting of the
businessmen of Wingham in the
council chamber on Thursday even-
ing of this week at eight o'clock to
discuss the formation of a Business-
men's Association.
An organization of this type was
but its functions have virtually
ceased during the past year.
Owners of local businesses have
already been contacted and almost
without exception there was enthus-
iastic• response to the suggestion
that the organization should be re-
vived, Most of these people will he
at the meeting tomorrow evening.
It has been found that problems
concerning the business owners arise
from time to time which cannot be
settled in any satisfactory way
without a proper organization. An-
other function of the group would
be to sponsor activities for the im-
provement of this town as an attrac-
tive shopping centre.
' If you, as a business owner or
manager, have not already been
contacted, accept this invitation to
be on hand for the meeting in the

to four good prospects. Wingham is
number one among the four towns.

merce is advertising for prospective
girl and women workers in the
Wingham area.

in general and the plant facilities
which would be available here. Res-
ponse to the call for prospective
female employees was good and

posed industry will be forthcoming
