PLAN MANY ACTIVITIES
The regular monthly meeting of the
Catholic Women's League of Sacred
Heart Church was held on Tuesday,
November 11th., in the parish hall.
The president, Mrs. Alf. Lockridge,
was in the chair.
The secretary's report was given by
Mrs. Bob Clark, Mrs, Wilfred White
gave the treasurer's report and a de-
tailed account of the proceedS from
a recent tea. It was decided to buy
a card table with the proceeds from
a euchre party to be held on Monday
night. Mrs. Peter MacDonald was
nominated to procure tables and
chairs for the party, and Mrs. Tom
Rafferty and Mrs. John Brent were
in charge of refreshments,
Plans were discussed for the break-
fast for the Young Ladies' Sodality to
be held November 23rd. The league
will cater and the executive will be
in charge. Kitchen utensils are few,
so it was decided to purchase a set
of stainless steel silverware for the
breakfast and in the near future
dishes will be purchased. Donations
were made to the Sisters of Service
and also to Immigration due to the
increase of new Canadians to this
country in the past year.
Members discussed sending a bale
of good used clothing to the needy in
the west. It was suggested that there
are many in our own diocese who
might be grateful for gifts, so the
league decided to pack a bale on
Thursday, November 20th to be sent
to Father Cook in London. Everyone
is urged to contribute to this bale. A
Christmas parcel will be packed and
mailed to Ken Redmond in Korea. A
Christmas party for the children was
planned and Mrs. L. J, Slosser, Mar-
garet Brophy and Mary Louise Flach
will be in charge of the program. Fin-
al arrangements will be made at the.
December meeting, A High mass will
be said this month for the deceased
members.
Mrs. Clark was named in charge
of a raffle of a turkey at the Christ-
mas party. Mrs. Norman Smith, Mrs.
Helen Fleury and Mrs. Brent will as-
sist in making tickets.

THIS IS A CHRISTMAS "SPECIAL"
From time to time we hear. from, those folks who
bemoan the commercialism of the present-day Christmas
season. Quite rightly they refer to the -fact that Christ-
PlaS was not intended to he a buying spree but rather a
Christian festival to remind us all of the blessed birth of
a Saviour for mankind, We are prone to agree with these
folks .. . and we feel that here in Wing-ham we are doing
something about it.
Though this week's paper would appear to indicate
that commercialism has been increased, because of the
somewhat early start we are giving the Christmas season,
exactly the opposite is true, We feel, along with many of
the merchants, that every effort should be made to urge
shoppers to do their buying earlier in the season, so that
the actual days immediately preceding Christmas shall
not be quite so rushed and trying.. Anyone who has been
in business knows the feeling of utter weariness with
which we used to wake up on Christmas morning—
after doing our best to serve the clamoring public the
day before.
No one will criticize the spirit which prompts our
friends and neighbours to go out and buy gifts as an ex-
pression of good will at the. Yuletide. It is a custom
which is age-old and entirely wholesome. The advertisers
whose messages fill this issue of The Advance-Times are
not asking that their customers lose their heads in an
orgy of Christmas buying. They don't suggest that any
person should mortgage the family acres to spend in their
stores. What they are doing is in the way of service to
both their patrons and themselves. They are offering
their Christmas merchandise early so that buyers will.be
reminded to make their purchases well ahead—and then
when Christmas week arrives all may -be able to take
things a little easier and be in a proper frame of mind to
reflect on the real meaning of the occasion.
LABOR TALKS LOOSELY
On Monday one of the daily papers carried a story
with the heading "CCF Forms WO Group", and the
despatch recounted that George Burt, Canadian director
of the UAW-CIO had stated in a meeting at the Hotel
London that both the federal and provincial ministers of
labor "like unemployment and they don't intend to do
anything about it."
Those are powerful words, of a kind that do not
promise too much for the eventual future of organized
Labor. The ministers about whom the labor leader was
speaking are, after all, the elected representatives of the
voting public and have taken oaths of office as members
of cabinets, in which they have promised to uphold the
best interests of the people. The accusation that they
like unemployment is no less than a statement that these
public servants have betrayed their oaths.
Labor leaders are certainly inclined to class them-
selves as champions of the public good and it is not be-
yond the bounds of imagination that there are those who
might level at them equally vicious remarks. Almost any
consumer of labor-produced commodities could claim
that labor leaders don't care a hoot about whether or not
pensioners starve; They could point out that every time
a labor-leader organizes a strike he is forcing money out
of the pockets of thousands who are employed in non-
union occupations.
Surely a man of Mr. Burt's achievements must blush
with shame after an outburst so far removed from the
decent limitations of democratic expression. We could
almost hope that he was mis-quoted.

IT'S YOUR TOWN
Around about this time of the year a great number of
our usually community-conscious citizens forget about
their most important duty. Even if they spent most of
their spare time during the past year serving the town in
some voluntary capacity, they are failing as citizens unless
they get out and vote.
Now is the time to start thinking about it. We don't
know exactly who will be candidates until after the nom-
ination meeting, but we do know that we will he needing
a new mayor and reeve. Nomination meetings have al-
ways
b
'been poorly attended in Wingham and' this has
become an accepted fact. We don't know why this should
be taken for granted. If a taxpayer isn't interested enough
to attend the nomination meeting and help to select candi-
dates for council, he has no right to criticize council's
action during the coming year.
Now is the time to figure who would he the best man
for mayor and the best men for the other council posts.
'When you have made your choice make sure you're at
that nomination meeting. A real interest by local resi-
dents will prove to the candidates that a position on the
,uwaincil is worth fighting for—which it is!
Acclamations are an unhealthy sign. Any office
worth haVing is worth working for. A man who is put
into office by acclamation is prone to think that nobody
else wants the job and he might be right. We are of the
B.rtn belief that any office on our council is worth having
And is .a credit to the man who gets it.
That Primary duty of voting is the last step in this
cycle of democracy. The man or woman who doesn't get
out and vote is opening wide the door for poor govern-
tlient, corruption and eventually Communism. It's your
town, how, do you want it?

1 REMINISCING I
FORTY YEARS AGO
On Thursday and Friday of last
week, twenty or more of the neigh-
bors of Wm. Naylor, of East Wawa-
nosh, assembled and finished-up his
fall ploughing. Since Mr, Naylor met
with the accident which cost him the
loss of one foot, he has of course been
unable to do any work on his farm,
and the thoughtfulness of kind nei-
ghbors has lifted a load, and cheered
the injured man, Mr. Naylor is v' ry
grateful to all who assisted him in tha
time of his misfortune.
In a report of a choir concert in a
local church, a correspondent said—
"In 'The Parting Kiss' the ladies voic-
es especially were heard to good ad-
vantage," Nothing unusual about that,
They generally are, not only in part-
ing, but very often when they meet
in church or at a railway station.
At the recent sittings of the Divis-
ion Court held in Wingham, very few,
if any, cases were settled by court.
The cases of J, 0. McGregor and Geo.
Cruikshanks against the corporation
of Wingham for damages at the time
of the Spring freshet, were settled out
of court. McGregor received $40 and
Cruikshanks, $35 in full settlement,
The case of k'. G. Sparling against the
town, for use of drilling apparatus,
was postponed owing to the absence
of an important witness.
Messrs. VanStone and McKibbon of
the Wingham town council were in
Stratford on Monday, inspecting the
new roadway being laid there by the
Westrumite Company. It is Wing-
ham's intention to built some perma-
nent streets next year and the council
is scouring around for information.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
There was a good representation of
shareholders of the Wingham Arena
Limited, on Friday evening last, when
the auditor's report, as published in
last week's issue of the Advance-
Times, was accepted, In the absence of
Mr. Hanna, the chair was occupied by
Mr. Tipling, vice-president. On motion
of Messrs. S. Bennett and W, G, Gray,
the old directors were reappointed and
W, T. Booth and A. H. Musgrove elect-
ed auditors without any renumeration.
Wingham's broadcasting station is
making quite a popular hit with many
in a radius of 35 miles of the town.
The last two Sunday afternoons from
25 to 35 phone messages, not a few
long distance calls, came in with com-
plimentary messages. Last Sunday
several from Lucknow put on a capi-
tal programme. Next Sunday either
some Brussels people or local talent
will be on the air. Tune in and hear
the people you know sing and play.
Wingham nimrods returned from
Loring, about 35 Miles from Trout
Creek, where they have a permanent
hunting camp, each with a deer, nine
in all. The men were away just a week
and hunted four days and a half. This
is a pretty fair record for their skill
as marksmen, and the abundance of
game in the district.
The first dance of the 1927-28 terse
was given by the students of the Busi-
ness Cellege in the Council Chamber,
November 10th. The music was furn-
ished by Towne's Orchestra. Much
credit must be given Mr. McCarthy
and the students who helped to make
the affair a success.

The finals of the Men's Handicap
Championship of the Alps Golf Course
was played on Thursday afternoon,
when W. H. French won the champ-
ionship from Reg DuVal, runner-up.
The course was in excellent shape and
the day was ideal for the tourney.
Dwight Reid, who graduated from
Wingham High School last term, was
successful in winning the second Car-
ter scholarship for the County of Hur-
on. This means he will receive an
award of $60 in cash.
There is no trace yet of Norval Bell,
the Kincardine convict, who fled the
Bruce County Jail at Walkerton on
Wednesday morning last week, Police
sought desperately for some clue as to
the whereabouts of the daring jail
breaker but to date had nothing to
show for their efforts.
A white deer was shot on Saturday
on the Morley Fitzsimmons farm,
concession 10, Greenock Townsnip,
The successful huntsman was Lloyd
Pinkerton, of Pinkerton. The animal
was described as having a fawn color-
ed head and neck and a pure white
body, Residents told of having seen
the deer during the summer.
Cameron Geddes, Lucknow singer,
ran into what he termed was the most
unfortunate "break" he ever had in
one day. He was heading for Toronto
and a Kiwanis Club luncheon, when
a horse stepped out on the road a
short distance from Wingharn. He
struck the animal, seriously damag-
ing the ear, with the result that he
could not fulfill his engagement. To
top of all the misfortune, he found
when exaraining his car insurance
policy that it had terminated on Nov-
ember 1st,

UNITED CHURCH W.A.
HOLD AFTERNOON TEA
The Women's Association of Wing-
ham United Church, of which Mrs.
Whitney Grose is president, held a
very successful afternoon tea and
sale in the school room of the church
on Wednesday.. The guests were re-
ceived by Mrs. W A. Beecroft and
Mrs. A. W, Irwin
Christmas decorations, featuring
evergreen boughs, poinsettias and win-.
ter bouquets, made an attractive.sett-
ing. In the centre of the serving table
was a bouquet of white 'mums and
red carnations with tall white candles
on either side. The platform had been
turned into a living room, complete
with lamps, chairs, etc. The display
of aprons was most effective. Some
were mounted on stands around the
room and others were worn by the
salesladies. The table of home baking
was quickly emptied, while the gift
booth attracted much attention, and
the tea tables were kept constantly
filled.
The girls of the C.G.I.T. have been
busy making cook-books, and all were
sold, - orders being taken for many
more. Christmas cards and books were
sold by the Young Women's Auxiliary.

Assist Me in My Last Agony!'
The December meeting will take
the form of a Christmas social. There
