Guy Sparrow of the University of Detroit will pitch for the Wingham
leastball team this year. Sparrow was signed up by the scouting trio of
Charlie Crossett, Vic Loughlean and Mike Carmichael last Wednesday after-
noon in the Motel. City. Everyone will remember the lanky "Guy" from
last year but then again they might not; as the boys report that he has put
on 15 lbs„ and is really getting to be a heavyweight. They think he has
more on the ball this •year too, but time will tell,
The big news for Wingham Sport fans was the announcement that
Lenny Gaull had been signed as a catcher, This five-foot-seven, 145 lb.,
barrel of dynamite has caught Lucknow's Charlie Justice as well as Russ
Johnson and most of the other big-timers.

DAVIES OF CANADA
GIVE CONCERT HERE
by Catherine Keating
,Cst Fieday morning Grades IX and
X of Wingham District High School
had the plealure of hearing the
"Davies of Canada", Mrs. Davies, her
daughter and two sons, presented a
very interesting Musical concert to
a full house in the Town Hall. The
programs consisted of solos, duets
and trios, accompanied by Mrs. Dav-
ie on the piano.
The musical family pleased its
audience with such pieces as, "River
Stay 'Way from my Door," "Big
Brown Bear," "My Heart Stood Still,"
"Boots and Saddle," "Old Man River,"
"Prayer of Hansel and Gretal," and
many other songs, including some
from Italian operas and a very pleas-
ing arrangement of the popular
"Shrimp Boats."
The Davies live in Barrie, Ontario.
They have been singing all their lives
and doing professional work for six
years. This is the only musical family
in Canada that keeps its business all
within its own family as Mr. Davies
is the business manager of the fam-
ily.
In an interview following then
concert, the Davies remarked that
they always enjoy coming to Wing-
ham, and like Dr. Edward Johnson,
formerly of the Metropolitan Opera
Company of New York, particularly
enjoy singing for school audiences,
The Davies say they like the way our
town hall has been re-decorated. It
has certainly changed since the last
time they were here.
The Davies favourite hobbies are
collecting records and going to music-
al concerts. Like all good musicians,
they enjoy only better music.
The program they presented on
Friday morning was made up of songs
to please both the very young pupils
of lower public school and the older
pupils of grades IX and X.
The Davies have been in Wingham
five or six times and each time they
were well liked and we hope to have
them back again in the future.
