HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1952-06-04, Page 1There will be an X-ray survey for
the detection and prevention of
tuberculosis, starting in the Town of
Wingham on Wednesday, July 2nd.
The X-ray unit, which is conttained in
a vehicle somewhat similar to a bus,
has already started to work its way
through Huron County, commencing
at Dashwood on May 29th.
Members of the Lions Club of
Wingham are at present engaged in
making the necessary contacts to
distribute cards and literature to
every home in the Township of Turn-
berry, the Township of East Wawa-
nosh, half of the Township of Morris
and the Town of Wingham. It is a
tremendous task and the aid of
Women's Institutes, Junior Institutes,
Junior Farmers, etc, is being sought.
It must be emphasized that there
is no necessity for a person' seeking
X-ray examination to report to any
particular station of the unit. Neither
is it necessary to make an appoint-
ment for a specified hour. The ex-
aminations are made very quickly
and while the unit is in this locality
thousands of persons can be exam-
ined.
Hours in Wingham are as follows:
July 2nd, 2 p.m. to 5 pane 7 p.m. to
10 p,m.; July 3rd, 10 a.m. to 12 noon;
2 p.m, to 5 p.m.; 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.;
July 4th, same hours as previous day.
The unit will stand on the main
street in front of the town hall.
On Monday, July 7th, the unit will
be at the community hall, Fordwich
from 10 to 12 in the morning; and 2
to 5 in the afternoon. It will move to
the community hall, Gorrie, for the
evening and will also be there the
following day, morning, afternoon
and evening.
There will be further information
about the X-ray survey in subsequent
issues of this newspaper, but make a
note now to have your examination
when the opportunity is available.

"DOUBLE OR NOTHINLi"
FILLS TOWN HALL
"They were hanging from the raf-
ters" or just about, at least, on Mon-
day evening at the Wingharn Town
Hall. The popular radio program
"Double Or Nothing" was the stellar
attraction, and from all reports one
of the largest crowds ever to grace
our auditorium was in attendance.'
Surprisingly enough, they came
from near and far, And some people
went away a few dollars richer
financially, and about 500 wont away
richer in higher spirits as the result
of the excellent program.
While no admission Was charged,
the' Wingharn Kinsmen Club which
sr nsored the show, realized a good-
1 amount from the collection plates
which were placed at each door of
the auditorium, The net proceeds will
go toward the completion of the
kiddies' wading pool in the town
park.
Perhaps one of the highlights of the
show, which was broadcast over an
Ontario-wide network of stations was
the performance of that madcap
"Fearsome Foursome"—"The World's
Worst Quartette." After hearing their
but like it. The cast, which included
Frank Deaville, Art McGregor, Stu
Kenny and Wally Wicken, were very
impressed with the enthusiasm shown
by the Wingharn and district people.
Before returning to Toronto, each
one remarked about the kind and
sincere friendship shown by every-
one they met during their brief stay.
At a later date, perhaps sometime
in the fall, it is the wish of the
Wingham Kinsmen Club, to invite
"Double Or Nothing". back, and per-
haps early next year sponsor the
quiz show "Take A. Chance". This is
2ust tentative, as no final plans have
,raen made.
The Wingharn Kinsmen Club wish
to take this opportunity of thanking
all who so graciously supported this
program, and hope that each and
everyone in the capacity crowd en-
joyed himself to the full.

River, just south 0 the McKenzie
bridge, It is their intention over a
period of years to remove the present
struetuiles and Make it into park
land,, The Town of Wingham holds

Reeve Murray Johnson, reporting
for the cemetery committee, stated
that the cemetery needed more money
and it was unanimously moved that
the cost of plots be raised.
A two-grave lot will now cost $30
for permanent care, and $10 'for the
lot. This is an increase of $10 alto-
gether, The cost of larger plots has
been increased accordingly. It was
also decided to add $5 to each lot.
On the subject of Civil Defence, the
co-ordinator, De Witt Miller stated
that in regard to a recent editorial in
the Advance-Times he felt that some
reply was necessary. He stated that
there was no use in planning courses

council had sent a man on the author-
ized course who could report back
and give instruction and accurate
information. This the county has not
yet done.

The highlight of the Sunday School
year, the Anniversary and Flower
Sunday, was held in Wingham United
Church on Sunday morning. This
service, built up over the years, is so
outstanding in its beauty, that people
come from great distances. By 10,30,
all seats are filled, chairs were carried
in and some people turned away.
This year's theme, "Service", was
carried out in the programme and
the floral decorations, As one enter-
ed the church, the scene was one of
beauty and reverence. High up on
the organ, large red letters on a
background of white lilacs, spelled
the word "Service", This banner was
surmounted by a larger gold crown,
set. with purple lilacs, and jewelled
with colored tulips, The crown was
edged with dozens of gleaming tiny
electric light bulbs and depicted the
ultimate reward of a life of service.
Across the front of the pulpit against
a background of green grass and
tamarack trees, were three pyramids
made entirely of lilacs, shading from
deep purple to white. On the face
of each pyramid were three crosses
hearing the names of Old Testament
characters, who, through the Years,
had lived lives of service to God and
man. The pillars supporting the
gallery were covered with greenery,
surmounted with wings of lilac, Flat
against the face of the gallery, large
white doves on the wing, were very
effective. On either side of the
organ, extending high towards the
ceiling, were lighted radio towers,
showing the service which radio ren-
ders in the church to-day. Large
baskets of flowers and singing birds
added to the beauty and joyousness.
