District High School Board who were summoned to Toronto last week for a conference with the Department officials returnekto town with encouraging information. Although they are not prepared to issue definite figures until later this week, it. has become apparent that the new high school building is not going to cost the taxpayers of this district nearly as much money as has been the case in other districts. Actually, the building which will be required here will be a large one for pupils from a wide territory are accom- modated. However, it seems that the attendance is such that the school can he built at a proper.economical limit, without wasted space. The Wingham High School Dis- trict is, of course, fortunate in being able to realize on an assessment of over 12 million dollars, so that the tax bur- 'den is very thinly spread, in comparison with other dis- tricts which have erected new schools, in some cases on much less than half the assessment we have here. The Advance-Times has been given some intimation of the cost of the new structure, and of the proportion which will be met from taxation in the district. If the. United Th annual meeting of the Belmore figures prove accurate we can safely predict that the localChurch was held in the church residents are in for a pleasant surprise. *IEWS OF BELMORE Two Beim ore Congregations Make Annual -Appointments 44QQRAYI PROPPED ONE fittiT(4.

We are the residents of those communities where more than a few of the city people would like to make their homes, irhey envy our freedom of movement, our fresh air and sunshine and the friendly spirit of good neighborliness -which prevails, for the most part, in smaller centres. It may be, then, that the money we spend has greater value than the mere bricks and mortar which it purchases. • . „ The, .Wir/Khank Advance-Times, Wedaesday, Feb. 4, 10$3 (HE FAMILY CIRCLE Vitt4,44in Pint= &um Published at Wingharn, Ontario Wenger Brothers, 1:Niblishers, W.

Alan displayed all his former vigor, Gordon may be one of the oldest members but by no means the least, Carl, although not so mobile, still has the weight behind the broom. Jack kept goal until he saw some of the more powerful Steam- Rollers arrive and he then relinquish- ed the job to Peter, who stuck right there. Nels started out for the rink, bravely carrying his broom, but on ar- riving developed an acute attack of inferiority complex and retired to the furnace room.
