The Wingham Advance-Times, 1953-09-16, Page 2"Naga! TWo 'The Whightun Advance-Times, Wednesday, Sept. 16, 105$ SEPTEMBER SONG Surveying the ruins of our garden •the other day, we made a solemn vow never again to till the soil. Gardens, we .have decided, are strictly for the birds. This year it was heat and drouth that caused all the damage. Tomatoes have blistered before they had a chance to ripen, corn has died a-borning, cucumbers rip- -cued before their time. Only the weeds were unaffected. by the adverse growing conditions. But every year the results are the same, even if the reasons are different. Every year it's either too early or too late, too wet or too dry, too hot or too cold. Every spring you start off with technicolor visions of a bountiful harvest, right out of the seed catalogue, and end up every fall with a few wizened corn cobs and some green to- matoes. A lot of people share our views on gardens this year, especially as of now, But the crucial test will come next February, when the seed catalogues start arriving in the in ails. SOMETHING MISSING The noticeable autumn nip in the air the past few days is known in some localities as "fall fair weather". It brings to mind the smell of chili sauce, the sound of the rustle of dried leaves,,the sight of garden vegetable, quilt and home-baking displays. We're old-fashioned enough to think that every self- , respecting town should have a fall fair, be it ever so humble. It's one of those things that no town is complete without—like a library, town hall or Women's Institute. Our opinion, however, doesn't seem to be shared by the majority of Wingham people. The feeling nowadays seems to be that if you can't put on a fair as good as the C.N.E., there's no use trying. We've even heard it said that Wingham can't "afford" a fair. We disagree. If villages like Teeswater can afford fairs, and good ones, it is hard to see how they can be beyond the reach of Winghatn. * * as WINGHAM'S LOSS Vic 1.otiOilean, who coached and coaxed the Wing- ham Bantam hockey team into the Ontario Championship last spring, is leaving town. He is expecting to set up shop in Walkerton within the next few weeks. Walkerton's gain is \Vingham's loss, and a serious loss it will he, particularly in sporting circles. For Vie is the type of citizen, all too rare these days, who is willing to devote that most precious of all commodities—time—to community activities. • While most of us begrudge an evening to anything that doesn't further our own interests, Vie has spent many - evenings a month coaching the Bantams. While many of us part,.with the greatest reluctance, with the odd dollar for something which benefits the community, Vic has shelled out many a buck on "incidental" expenses in con- nection with the hockey team. Citizens like that are not :easy to come by. The best wishes of the community will go with Vic -in his new endeavour. And if he-coaches a team in Walk- erton, may he have as much success there as he has had in Wingham ! * ' HEAVEN SCENT One of the sidelights of the battle of the sexes which does not seem to have attracted the attention of Dr. Kinsey in his various reports, is the question of women's perfumes. And, judging from the advertising copy that accompanies these products, an inquiry into the field might bring some startling revelations. While other feminine advertising skirts lightly around :the question of "allure", perfume as go all out on the .subject of trapping the unwary male. We read of per- fumes that are "wildly different", that "add magnetic qualities to your personality"; that make the wearer feel "more exciting, more attractive, more alive". We read of a fragrance that "speaks for the secret and reckless heart". Strong words, these, bespeaking a field of inquiry which might well be within the scope of Dr. Kinsey's investigations. But before blaming the ladies, it might be well to inquire more deeply into the matter. Perhaps the copywriters are men, MAKE IT AND MAKE IT STICK In the interests of a well-run country it's always a good idea to see that existing laws are enforced. And conversely, if laws cannot be enforced, sometimes it's a. good idea to change them, While we are assured that certain forms of bingos are illegal, only sporadic attempts are made to enforce the law. As a result a lot of people have been technically breaking the law with impunity. Which naturally leads other- people to assume that laws are made to be broken -- if you.can get away with it. That's a dangerous assumption. To combat it the government ihotild review the whole matter, make a idl- ing, and stick to it.

To provide the extra accommodations the assembly rooms will be divided and converted into classrooms. The mem- .bers of the board are to be commend- ed for engaging the sixth teacher as Winghamites are anxious that the school be kept in the front rank. Considerable damage has been re- ported from surrounding districts in consequence of the severe frost on Saturday night. Early risers Sunday morning saw sufficient of the white covering to almost make them shud- der. At the time their thoughts turn- ed to the furnace and stove, as the case might be, in which there was no fire, Accordifig to many farmers the frost was the most severe experienced in this district in September in many years. Corn, as a whole, was hard hit. Owing to the frost, the harvesting of corn has been commenced; as so much damage has already ,been caused that another severe frost would probably ruin the crop, Mr' .1.
