The council members were travelling by bus, Representing Wihgham on their two day roads tour are Reeve 'Mur- ray Johnston and Deputy Reeve Roy Adair. Friday the 13th was an unlucky clay for Joe Thyssen, who was back in town to move some furniture. He bor- rowed a light truck from Alf Lock- ridge and parked it up the grade on Victoria St. west of Josephine. While Joe was out of the truck, it rolled backwards down the grade, around an old model car and smacked into the front fender of John Bumstead's car. Speaking of Friday the 13th., with so many store fronts being painted on that day it was very difficult not to walk under a ladder arid it was quite interesting to watch the number of people who walked away out into the road rather than walk under them. - 0 0 - 0 Address on a post card received in this office, "Wingham Advance Lines."

POPULAR OLD TIME ORCHESTRA COMM Don Messer, the roly-poly and good natured musical director of the ever popular Islanders, was, there's no denying it, a child prodigy, Yet this proved to be a boon rather than a handicap, as can be alitested by all the persons associated with him. Don was somewhdt of an :accomplished violinist at the tender age of six years. At the grand old ripe age of seven, attended by his father, he played his first and most outstanding engage- ment at a barn dance. This was tht turning point in young Donny's life, From then on his services were in constant and ever welcome demand for local barn dances, county fairs, family get-togethers, and wherever old time music was required. With such a beginning, it might be assumed that young Donny in his maturity was somewhat of a genius. It was far from this. All that young Donny could do was play the violin in such a manner that almost everyone understood the music. Through his formative years he 'combined the fur- ther study of the fiddle and after com- pleting High'.Schoor education at 16 years of age, he left his native pro- vi•Ace and moved to I36ston, Mass. While there he took up further study of the violin and folk music under the guidance of the noted Professor Davis. Today, more than ever before! Can- adians are adopting styles to suit their trend. Give them what they want and they'll accept it with open arms and no questions asked. This applies to music, particularly the old time music comprising barn dances, reels, jigs and poular folk tunes. Next Tuesday evening in the Wingham Arena when Don and the Islanders set up on the band - stand for the start of the evening's enter- tainment, you can be sure that every request for the favourites - will be fulfilled. Whether it be Big John Mc- Neil, Half Penny Reel, Atlantic Pol- ka, Soldier's Joy or maybe something from the current all-time hit parade, Don and the boys will play it, and play it as sweet as any musical ag- gregation ever played it.

Parker, rector of St. Paul's Anglican Church, was the guest speaker at the regular meeting of the Lions Club of Wingham, held in the Hotel Brunswick on Friday even- ing, The speaker, who was introduced by Barry Wenger, illustrated his brief talk by referring to a camera and pointing out that in order to take pic- tures properly there are three ad- justments which must be made: Aperture, shutter speed and focus. He pointed out that the individual's character is like the film in the camera. It cannot be seen, but will eventually reflect a true picture of the real man. Firstly, said Mr. Parker, if the character is to be right sufficient light must enter. That is the light of spiritual well-being, education and refinement. Then the shutter of re- sponse must be set so that the mind answers in the affirmative and does so instantaneously whenever the op- portunity for service arises, Finally, he asked whether or not his hearers were standing too far away from the situations of everyday life, so that the focus of events on the character was distorted. Lion A. J. Walker expressed thanks to the speaker for his interesting talk. President Don Nesmith occupied the chair for the meeting and the guest pianist was Miss Leslie Mae Wall, Lion Stan Hall spoke of the outstanding ability which Miss Wall has shown throughout her entire secondary school and university train- ing.
