HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1953-03-04, Page 1Lack of space at Wingham General Hospital has been
plaguing the staff for some time now, Just how
crowded it can get is well illustrated in the above
picture, which shows Miss Eileen Lainbertus, assistant
superintendent, searching through a pile of assorted
beds stored in a hallway for lack of somewhere else
to put them. The hospital, which is officially rated
as having a 47 bed capacity, had an average of 83.4

After a hard-fought battle with
Seaforth on Saturday night which
ended in a 9-7 overtime win for the
local lads, Wingham Bantams came
back to a smashing victory on Mon-
day at Seaforth, to win the best of
three series and the WOAA Bantam
Championship,
The Saturday game was a tough
struggle for the Wingham boys, with
the first two periods ending 2-0 and
4-2 in favor of Seaforth. In the third
frame, however, the team became
operative, sparked by Hodgkinson
(Lockridge) and Bain (Hodgkinson)
in the overtime period tipped the
scales for the locals.
The Monday affair was of a differ-
ent order, with Wingham carrying
the puck all the way, and little or no
opposition from Seaforth. The local
team was again paced by Hodgkinson,
who amassed a total of six tallies,
three of them assisted by Campbell.
The Bantams will now go into the
Ontario Minor Hockey Association
playoffs, with futurenSates to be an-
nounced shortly.
Members of the team are: Goal,
Douglas Carr; defence, Jim Lock-
ridge, Frank Houghton; centre, Jim
Campbell; wings, Nen Hodgkinson,
Ted Muffitt; subs, Bill Hotchkiss,
Jim Bain, Dave Cameron, Danny
Stuckey, Donald Gray, Jamie Rae,
Barry Fry and „Carman Vint. The
team is coached by Vic Loughlean.

W.1L EUCKRE
The Women's Institute of Bluevale
Meeting for the March session in
the council chamber on Monday eve-
ning, the Wingham. Council faced a
battery of delegations present to
place various requests before the board.
First to address council was Elmer
Wilkinson, who stated that he was
prepared to proceed with the erection
of apartment buildings in the town,
which, he felt, would help to alleviate
the housing* shortage. He requested
that the town grant him tax conces-
sions to aid the project. His proposi-
tion was that he be granted 50 per
cent reduction in taxes for ten years,
or as an alternative, 75 per cent re-
duction for five years. It is his in-
Itention to build approximately 12 one-
bedroom apartments, four of them
this year. One lot has already been
purchased for the purpose.
The council generally viewed the
request in a favorable light, compar-
ing it with the concession which had
been made to assist the Central Heus-
i mg and Mortgage Corporation's Hill-
crest development. In that case the
town had donated the land, virtual-
ly without charge, had provided
streets, water and sewage, and in re-
turn is receiving only about one-third
of the normal taxes.
There was some doubt as to the
right of the council to grant such
tax concessions, and on motion of
Councillors Carmichael and Crossett
it was decided to seeklegal advice on
DEALS PERFECT HAND
Mrs. Alvin Sell, of Edward St„

dealt herself three fives and the
jack of diamonds, in a two-handed
game of cribbage, with Mr. Lorne

reached a peak when the five of
diamonds turned up to make the
hand a perfect 29, and cinch the
game for Mrs. Sell. Although. she
has had one 28 hand before, Mrs.
Sell says this is the first time she
has ever had a perfect hand.

Resolution from School Board
G. C, Gamxnage, representative of

the Council on the Wingham. District
presented a let-

amount to approximately 1.3 mills.
The matter of assessment problems

Army to Use Old Fire Hall
Major Roy Bonner, of the 99th Bat-I
tery, was present in connection with
the tenure of the old fire hall build-
ing, which the town has rented to
the Department of National Defense
for the past five years, and which the
council recently requested turned back
to them for municipal use. Major
Bonner had with him a lease, signed
by the town five years ago, providing
for an option to rent for an addition-
al five years at the expiry of the
original term, He pointed out that
the Department has the legal right
to continue renewing the property, hut
also stated there would be no effort
to enforce that right if the town
desired to -use the'hall,
The Mayor spoke of a recent con-
versation with Col, Mahoriey,
when he visited Wingham, at which
time the matter had been discussed.
The local Battery is under definite
orders to keep equipment under
cover, and use of the old fire hall by
the town would mean that the Army's
equipment would have to be stored
in the Armouries, thus interfering
with the use of the latter building
for banquets, dances, etc,
It was unanimously decided to
withdraw the request for use of the
old fire hall and to permit the De-
partment to continue its lease,
Community Sales Planned
Cecil Markley and Rod McIntosh,
representing the Chamber of Com-
merce were present in connection with
the establishment of a community

that arrangements have been com-
pleted with a competent auctioneer,
Gordon Jackson, of Listowel, to put

The Chamber is requesting use of the
town shed on Victoria Street for five
years for the purpose and the instal-
lation of the necessary light as soon.

the rental be kept to a reasonable
