According to last week's edition of
the Advance-Times, there was a Hal-
lowe'en party for the youngsters. We
have been asked on several occasions
•who put the party on, which made us
rather suspicious that we might has e
neglected to give the Lions Club
credit for their fine work and the

were well founded and we apologize to
the Lions Club, but will let someone

"Beginning'Speakers"
Club Starts To=Night
A beginner's clua, ror those who
might be interested in training for
occasions' in life when one is faced
with an audience, will he started in
the Wingham High School tonight at
8 p.m., if present plans materialize
and attendance is sufficient to war-
rant continuing the effort, ' •
The club is believed to be a first
in this district ,and is offering both in-
struction and entertainment to its
members. It is catering primarily to
beginners, though amateur speakers
of all grades are welcomed.
The attempt is being made as a joint
enterprise of Jim Craigen, of Wing-
ham, who has been in similar clubs in
his native British Columbia, , and Mr.
Wilson, of Lucknow, who was inter-
ested in speakers training while serv-
ing earlier years in London, The work
is being done under the supervision
of W, S. Hall, High School prin-
cipal, who has offered his consent
as a replacement to the former speak-
ers' class night sehool course, which
failed to materialize last Wednesday.
was understood at press time
today, that' a carload of members is
assured from Lucknow, and therefore
it is felt that any local support should
guarantee .the school board stipulated
minimum quota of ten in attendance,
A membership fee has not been decid-
ed upon, but it is expectecl•by the pro-
moters to' be negligible •since no -pro-
fessional talent will be used in the
instruction.
The general procedure for clubs of
this nature is to choose in advance a
theme for the evening, and each mem-
ber gives a stipulated three minute or
five minute talk ' on the evening's
theme or subject The retiring speaker
takes the chair for the next speaker
and introduces him and handles the
meeting for the few minutes ,required,
thus gaining experience both as
speaker and as chairman. The end
results of such a program is that no
member heed be embarrassed at any
time in future by being called upon to
introdece a person to a group of
people, say a feW ,words in public
upon occasion, handle a chairmanship
in a club or organization, propose a
toast in different formalities, etc. An
accomplished critic is in attendance at
each meeting to summarize the im-
provements being made, )3otli men

JAMES WARD SHARPIN
ALONG THE MAIN DRAG DIES IN ACCIDENT
The community was shocked and
deeply grieved to learn of the death,
by accident, of a well-known and
highly respected citizen in the person
of Ward Sharpin. Mr, Sharpin was
working alone, removing stone with
his tractor. His wife, noticing the
tractor standing in the field, went out
to find her husband pinned beneath
the machine, Funeral services on
Saturday were attended by a large
gathering of neighbors and friends.
Deepest sympathy Is extended to Mrs.
Sharpin and two children, (Ila) Mrs,
Wes Paulin and Clark, also a bro-
ther, Morrison, and three sisters,
Mr. Sharpin was born on lot 1, con.
5, of Turnberry Township and was in
his 62nd. year. He married the former
Mae King, of Turnberry, in Gerrie,
on March 17th., 1914, and has farmed
at lot three, concession five, Turn-
berry, for many years. He belonged to
the Orange Lodge.
Surviving besides his wife are: a
daughter (Da Mae) Mrs. Wes Paulin,
and a son, Stephen Clark, both living
in Wroxeter. Two children Euretta
and Roy predeceased him. Also sur-
viving are: a brother, Morrison Sharp-
in of Turnberry; three sisters, Mrs.

Guest Speaker
The special speaker of the evening
was Professor Ralph -Campbell, head
of the Economics Department, of the
Ontario Agricultural College; ae at
Guelph, Mr. Campbell brought the
regrets of Dr. McLaughlin, who was
originally slated to speak -to the stu-
dents but was• unable to come; En his
address Mr. Campbell mentioned' the-
connection of the O.A.C. with Huron.
County. At the present there ia a
good' number of Huron County High
School graduates- studying at Guelph.
Mr. Campbell stressed the iimporta,nce•
of high school education. With a
high school' education almost any
career can be pursued: He said that
self-confidence helped much reach-•
ing a goal., Good-will and brotherly-
love have a great detti to do with-
social life. Mt. Campbell assured
the student body, however, that even
without a good- schooling they could
still have a good' education if they
just had the will' to "find out"... He
stressed, Ease, the importance of the
social sciences in the education of
everyone, and how important they-
are.
Mr. -Campbell urged all to live a
full' and satisfying, good life, to "find
out" all they could and keep learning
to live day to day and make the best
of every one.
Professor Campbell closed with a
poem written by John Oxenham,
telling of the two roads which one
must choose between for his high-
way or low-way. Some drift between
but the highway should be the goal
for everyone,
• The programme came to a close
with' the singing of "God Save the
Queen".

SEEK FOURTH TERM
Mayor Gurney has announced that
due to pressure of business he will
not seek a fourth term as mayor of
Wingham. "I am definitely not going
to run," the mayor stated, "It is time
for somebody else to- take over." The

long period of service to' the town of

cillor. He was chosen as. mayor in the
years 1950, '51 and '52 by acclamations.

Pionetn. Fire Plan
The hydro commission, which is now
supplying only power and water, is
in better shape financially than it has
ever been. The new fire system which
was set up here two years ago was
the first of its kind in Ontario and
has served as a model for many
other communities. Under this scheme
the cost of the fire truck and expenses
are shared by Wingham and the
member townships. At present fire
equipment valued at between $25,000
and $35,000 is housed in the new fire
hall, which incidentally was built un-
der the chairmanship of Mr. Gurney.
Three years ago the Arena was set
up under the Community Centres Act.
and artificial ice was installed. The
ice was made possible by funds don-
ated by citizens, together with a grant
from the province at no direct cost
to the town whatsoever. A cement
floor has been installed since that
time. The advantages to the town
have been many especially to the
