The purpose behind the formation of this organiza- tion should be known not only to the members,' but to the . general public as well. The chief idea is to make Wingham , a better and more attractive place in which to shop. The association will seek to unite and co-ordinate the efforts of all business places in this regard. True, the group will' also deal with problems which are peculiar to their own sphere, but the compelling thought behind all this will be "Boost Wingham !" Organizations of this kind have run their course here in times. past, No doubt the sceptics will predict a short life for the present association. However, there is univer- sal readiness on the part of the business people to sup- port the movement,. and it may be assumed that there is equal willingness and anxiety to avoid the pitfalls which lie in the way of success. Perhaps the greatest deterent in times past has been the lapses in time between occasions when the business group was required to function. During these "dead" in- tervals interest was inclined to wane. Every effort will be made henceforth to see that members are kept con- • scious of the big job they have to do. Those I'vho operate businesses today are faced with the fact that the large centres are becoming steadily more It's tough going when father goes accessible to rural buyers, as transportation and road con- ditions improve. New- and better merchandising methods are becoming a necessity if business levels at home are to be maintained. A united effort throughout the commun- ity will do a great deal to keep Wingham on the business map. — By BOB CLARK — AYERST NOW DOUBLE-STRENGTH The double-action Bougie for severe Mastitis.

Louis Breithaupt, Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario, in his speech from the throne at the opening of the 24th Leguslature, at the Parliament Buildings on February 21st, called for an expansion of rural housing aid and assistance under certain measures for young farm- ers. The Lietuenant-Governor called . for provision for more housing and the establishment of a Crown Corpor- ation, to provide funds for construction of homes in villag- es, hamlets and farms. That there is a housing shortage here and in nearby communities is emphasized every day by the number of requests that flow into our office for informaton about homes to rent and for sale. Many young families are unable to enjoy a happy home life because of the necessity to live in a few small rooms or other crowded accommo- dations. This is a situation that should and could be, alleviated. It is heartening to note that the Ontario government • is interested in the plight of the smaller communities as well as the big cites. The present cost of building or buy-! ing a home is a deterrent in very many cases, Some form of assistance would be very welcome. If new industries are to locate here there are bound to be new families coming to town and accommodation will be a serious problem. An examination of what hous- ing is available now would be a farSighted plan. 3500 miles an hour.

There was a forlorn look on the face of LAC Keith Deller of the RCAF when he waved good-bye at the Calgary station to his pretty wife, top sergeant Jane Deller of 'Nanticoke, Pennsylvania. Jane is off to Korea to serve with the U. S. Army. Deller has to stay on the job !in Calgary. The couple met two years ago when Deller was stationed at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. "One week-end the women's mess was closed and the girls were order- ed to eat in ours," explains Deller. "She spotted me and wedding bells rang on my next visit to the camp." Though the Dellers have been married six months, the pair have had only 24 days together since their wedding. And Deller won't see his wife now till next October. However, relief's in sight then. That's the time Jane will get her discharge from the U.S. Army and come home to Cal- gary for good. Deller says he's look- ing forward to a normal married life. "Then I'll do the rank pulling," he says. The LAC admits he's been polishing his wife's buttons the past two weeks they've been together, but he says he drew the line at shining her shoes. "Top sergeant or no top sergeant— she does that job herself," he adds firmly. 0 - 0 - 0 It's Beethoven in one bed, and Bing in the next at St. Mary's Hospi- tal in Montreal.

These prospective citizens are the graduates of our High ,School who head for the attractions of the city; good jobs, higher pay and the brighter lights. A higher education has to be obtained, away from home. at the uni-;i versities in the big centres hut how many of these uni- versity grads come back to Wingham The answer is obvious. I Iardly any at all. There aren't the jobs here to keep the young people' at home. Yet on the other hand many of our youths imagine the city to be much m(,re than it really is. There are disadvantages that far outweigh its advantages. To a small town boy who is used to knowing everybody alon,c2-_, the main street it is a shock to walk down Yonge St., or! any of the others and not recognize a soul. The city is lonely. The pace of life in the big city is twice as fast asl, hi a small town. It takes a hardy stomach to stand the"! quick lunches, the innumerable cups of coffee. and the rushing for street cars. The city is exhausting. A good meal costs plenty in the city and so does entertainment. 'The city is expensive. It would be well for a young man or woman, bored with life in a little town, to consider both sides of the question. There is a strong possibility that what you're leaving is far better than what you're !vetting into.
