HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1953-05-06, Page 4Medical Society Active in Wingham For Nearly 10 Years Physicians numbering about ten: members who serve the town of Wingham and surrounding district, have grouped themselves together to form the Wingham District Medical Society since 1044. At the monthly meetings either a local member or a visiting doctor gives a scientific paper. It is difficult to say just how beneficial the activi- ties of this little local group has been' to the doctors and the patients as well as the general morale of the hospital. It has certainly extended the cordial-• ity and pleasant working association of the doctors and it would be hard to find a professional group anywhere in which the individual members work, more harmoniously. Much credit is due to our superin- tendent who has made the meetings possible. Mrs. Morrey attends every meeting and problems between the doctors and the hospital service are freely and helpfully discussed. In this way the Medical Society fulfils a busi- ness, social and scientific function. An annual election of officers is held • and the honors distributed from year to year. TWO CATTLE SHOWS AT SEAFORTfI FAIR Fall Fairs will be here again in a little while and Seaforth Fair is pre- paring a wonderful exhibition.

Keith Sharp, The ladies work section this year will have the following: Diningroom furnishings, living- room furnishings, bedroom furnish- ings, men's wear, ladies' wear, child- ren's wear, miscellaneous.—Seaforth News. • CARD OF THANKS I wish to take this opportunity of expressing my thanks and apprecia- tion to the kind friends who remem- bered me with cards and gifts while I was in hospital. A special thanks to Mrs. Morrey and her kind staff of nurses and to Dr. McKibbon. Gershom Johnston, 6b Many ReligiOns In Huron County The Dominion Bureau of Statistics is still compiling results of the Census of 1951. Latest figures released by the Bureau concern the breakdown of population in respect to religion, lan- guage, religious denomination, origin of population, housheold conveniences, heating and economic classifications of farms. The United Church is the strongest religion in Huron County. It claims half of the population. Figures of the five strongest denominations are: United Church 24,053; Presbyterian 7,918; Church of 'England 6,303; Ro- man Catholic 5,617, Lutheran 1,726. Huron County is one of the few in Southwestern Ontario which has al- most all denominations. These include Adventist, Baptist, Christian Science, Church of Christ Disciples, Confucian and Buddhist, Evangelical, Greek Or- thodox, Jewish, Mennonite, Mormon, Pentecostal, Salvation Army, Ukranian ranian Salvation Army, Ukranian (Greek) Catholic, Bethel Reformed Church and Christian Reformed Church. The five-year period between 1946 and 1951 shows a rgreater increase in immigration than any other period since 1911. There were 3,288 immi- grants in 1951 'and of that total 1,252 came after the second workl war, A'rnoat 80 »r:r aent.of Huron County residents have their origin in the British Isles. This includes the Eng- lish, Irish, Scottish, Welsh and Manx. I The five largest groups are: British Isles 39,416; German 5.364; French 1,792; Netherlands 1,001; Scandinavian 253. Huron has only seven native Indians. The county has 1,353 persons who can speak both official languages, English and French. Thirty-six people speak French only and 116 people do not speak either French or English. Outside of English, more people know and can speak German than any other language. There are over 9,500 passenger auto- mobiles in Huron County. This gives an average of about one ear for every five persons, Of the 13,870 dwellings in the county, 10,895 are owned by the occupants. About 3,000 are rented. Eighty percent of the dwellings have a washing machine and tele- phone. Almost every dwelling has a 'radio. About half have an electric vacuum cleaner. Over one-half of the dwellings in the county are heated by stoves. The rest are heated with furnaces, 90 per- cent of which are hot air. The average number of rooms in a Huron county dwelling is 6.6. Over 3,000 homes have seven rooms; 155 have only two rooms, and 890 homes have '10 rooms or more. Huron county has 5,772 occupied farms, The value of the prcdue.ts sold from 61. of these farms totals over Five Provinces Will Be Represented By Airwomen In Coronation Parade A select group of airwomen from Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, British Columbia and Nova Scotia have assembled in Ottawa for last - minute arrangements prior to their departure by boat to London and the coronation.
