Forty Mill Rate Set for Turnberry At a special meeting held last 'Mon- day, the Turnberry township council set a mill rate of 40 mills for 1963. This represents an increase of one mill over last year's rate. Township officials are pointing with pride to the fact that although the Turnberry rate *has increased only one mill, the county rate is up one mill over last year, and the High School rate shows an increase of nearly 2 mills. 11r1180. JAINiefe. The Wingenten AdvarseeTinee,s, Wednesday, ,.pril 29, 1958. "Easter in Me" was read. by Mrs. Walter Douglas and the hymn "Jesus ,Keep Nee Near the Cross," was sung. 0 U 0 0 Germany which began in the tenth century continued almost constantly for 000 years, and the Slavic neonle of Poland were forced eastward into the general boundaries of pre-war Poland, Following the Crusades a group of professional fighters, known as the Teutanic Knights were granted land holdings at the mouth of the Vistula River, as protection against the in- roads of the Germanic tribes in that area. Later the knights allied them- selves with another similar group who lived in what is new Latvia, and the united forcee turned on Poland, to open a conflict which carried on until the 17th century. The Teutonic Knights were the forefathers of the Prussians, whose militaristic precepts produced the aggressive German armies which have been responsible for two wars in our own times. Added to the pressure of both Ger- man and Russian enemies were the ravages of Genghis Khan, whose hordes swept across southern Poland in the 12th and 13th centuries devas- tating the country, Great Spirit of Freedom As a result oT these long-conrinued oppressions the Polish people devel- oped a desire for freedom which reached such an extreme degree that It actually proved a weakness. In order to guarantee personal liberty the parliament of Poland could be dissolved at any time by the objection of even a lone member to whatever legislation was before the house, Thus, it proved almost impossible to build a strong spirit of national unity or a fighting force which was de- voted to the interests of the country as a whole rather than to the indi- vidual dukes and local lords which constituted the feudal nobility of the day. The result of this divided loyalty was the partition of Poland between Russia, Austria and Prussia, and from that time until the outbreak of war in 1914 the Poles were continual- ly fomenting insurrection and re- bellion in an effort to throw off the fdreign yoke. As Germany and Rus- sia faced one another across the map of Poland in 1914 Poles found them- selves fighting each other in the forces of• the two opposing nations. The Treaty of Versailles at the end of the war established in Poland a true republic, but the eastern boundary was left undecided and before the new nation could become firmly established they 'found the Soviet armies pouring over the frontier, as far as Warsaw, It was not until 1921 that the Soviets were beaten back' and Poland had peace. Invaded by Hitler In the spring of 1939 Hitler would have given almost anything for the active friendship of Poland in a war against Russia, but the Poles refused to purchase peace at the cost of their national honor. In three weeks Pol- and was over-run by the Nazis, and within a short time the Russians struck at their backs. However the Polish people did not ,submit without opposition, and before the end of the war three million Poles had been killed, including almost every Jew in the land. Most of the educated knd intelligent people were system- atically murdered, in an effort to eliminate all possible leaders. Whole libraries were destroyed and the Russians began a system of remov- ing the inhabitants of entire villages and replacing them with Communists, This practice, which is still in pro- gress, is to prove to any future in- vestigating progress 'that Eastern Poland is inhabited by Russians and therefore should be a part of the Soviet. One of the great tragedies is, of course, that the voice of Poland in the United Nations does not speak for that land, but is only one more supporter for the Soviet. The destruction of Poland by Com- munist Russia had been systemati- "Tops in Taste" 21(mAcctoK ICE CREAM 141111111111.11111111111111111111111.111111111111111111111111P WARREN HORSE CrC.

Kinsmen Setting Up Arena Seating Plan Members of the Wingham Kinsmen Club are busy setting up a permanent reserved seating plan for the Wing- ham Arena, Not only is this design- ed for the Fun Parade. Show which will be coming to the Arena on Fri- day, May 15th, but will be for future use for any organization using the Arena. Chairman of the project is Jack Lloyd, and Jack and the boys have been painting numbers and "squaring" off the sections. A big job that is just about completed. To date, the Arena was lacking a "complete" reserved section, mainly because there had been no call for the use of the floor surface. Now, how- ever, sections are tabulated as per in- dividual chair space. This means that an accurate account of seating capac- ity is vailable for just about every square 'inch of the Arena, If and when, any organization re- quires the use of this reserved seat plan, blueprints and seating arrange- Meats are available at the Arena of- fice. HISTORY OF POLAND RELATED AT MEETING OF VVINGIIAM LIONS (Continued from Page One) district in April, 1950, purchasing the farm of the late Geofge Kerr. In the period between the wars Wing Commander Moszkowski was, for some time, in charge of intelligence work for the Polish Air Force. A veteran of two world wars, he was captUred by the enemy on three oc- casions and escaped as many times. Reaching England early in the sec- ond war, he was appointed to the Churchill Anti-Submarine Committee, on which he served as well as carry- ing out Operational duties. Opening his talk, the speaker said that Poland and its people should be of interest to Canadians, for at the 1941 census 22 Canadians out of each thousand of population were of Pol- ish birth, With the influx of immi- grants since the war, that figure has been Vastly increased. The vast majority of these people, he said, are making every effort to becoree good Canadians, to repay the hospitality 'Which has been extended to them in this country. In order to explain Poland's Witt-, cal structure, Mr. 1Vreszkowski car- ried his hearers back a thousand years. On both east and West, he said, the borders of Poland have al., ways been open, With no geographic demarkation to hinder the inward pressure of ambitious neighbours. The country was first settled by tribesmen on Slavic origin in the 10th century. The inhabitants of Germany Was anxious to conquer the newcomers, Ostensibly for the purpose of converting theth to Christianity, but the change from paganism actual, ly was accomplished by the marriage of One of the rulers to a Christian, and the faith spread throughout the land, HOwever, the hostilities with pally planned by the Commintern t said the Speaker, and he warned that pertain officers of that board are no doubt fully engaged with the plans for similar /action in Canada as soon as it becolnes possible. "The future of the world," said Mr. Meszkowski, "depends on the judg- ment—the cold judgment--of where and when to stop Russia." The work of Stalin and perhaps IVIalenkov, is nothing less than the testament of Peter the Great—the drive to the West and to the sea. In 1945 the world began to hear of the "quarrelsome Poles", when they object to the demands of Russia, To- day the objections of these same people have been found more than valid. Concluding his talk, the guest speaker said that the words he had spoken were uttered in the sincere belief that a warning must be sound Famous Velva:=Sorb Towels O in beautiful soft tones of blue, pink, green and yellow.

Mrs. Jack Gillespie conducted a worship service, the theme of which was "The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper." She was assisted by Miss Marion Simpson, who read the Scrip- ture and Mrs. W, Currie who of- fered prayer. A vocal duet "Sweet Hour Of Pray, er" by Misses Marjorie and Marlene MoRenzie, was very much enjoyed. Miss Katherine McGregor continued with the Study Book "Along African Trails" and reviewed the chapter which told about "The Church of Christ in Angola." This church made up of various denominations, is really a layman's church and the work is carried on by deacons and deaconess- es, catechists and laymen, who have been trained by missionaries, and a few ordained ministers, Phase people are taking on the task of Christianiz- ing the people of Angola, where two- thirds of the adult population is still heathen. Mrs. Elwell Webster then led in a prayer for the work in Angola. Mrs. Gillespie brought this part of the meeting to a close by reading a very fitting poem. The president then took charge of the business part of the meeting. The delegates to the Huron Presbyterial meeting held at Goderich that day gave their reports, Mrs. Chas, Salter gave a fine and full account of the morning session which dealt mostly with business and reports.
