OPEN FIRING RANGE
ON LAKE HURON
The RCAF has opened an air to air
firing range on Lake Huron close to
the international boundary line be-
tween Michigan and Ontario, it was
announced last week by RCAF Station,
London.
The new range is 30 miles long by
10 miles wide and will be used by
RCAF Auxiliary units from London,
Oat. It will replace the air to air range
on'Lake Erie which was closed be.
cause of its proximity to airline routes.
Air Force officials pointed out that
the new range Is restricted to air to
air firing of light calibre machine
guns, and no bombing would be car-
ried out.
Operations will be restricted to the
hours of daylight between sunrise and
sunset and posters warning of the
boundary limits have been posted at
all necessary shore points.
Arangements have been made to al-
low commercial shipping to cross
through the restricted range when-
ever necessary.
The inner boundaries of the range,
near Ontario, extend from a line ap-
proximately 13 miles west of Goderich
and south to a point approximately 13
miles west of Grand Bend, Ont.
EARLY APPLICATION
FOR TREES URGED
Early application for trees to be
planted next spring is advised by the
Ontario Department. of Lands and
Forests, as requests for trees will be
dealt with in order of receipt. Last
year the department distributed more
than 20,000,000 trees, a,. large percent-
age of them to private land owners,
but still was unable to fill all applica-
tions from its half dozen nurseries.
Hence the advice to order early.
The charge for trees is $14 per 1,000
for Scotch pine and $10 per 1,000 for
other species. The number of species
to be distributed has been reduced.
The following are listed on application
forms obtainable from the Department
of Lands and Forests, Parliament
Buildings, Toronto, from district or
zone forestry offices and county ag-
ricultural offices*.
Scotch pine, white pine, red pine,
jack pine, white spruce, white cedar,
white ash, silver maple, red oak, Car-
olina poplar and black locust.
In addition to the species listed,
there is also ,some stock of Norway
spruce, tamarack, hemlock, balsam,
sugar maple, red maple, white elm,
rock elm, white willow, white.birch,
yellow birch and black cherry, These
will be supplied 'as long as they last.
Zone foresters will gladly discuss
with land owners suitable species for
their land and proper planting tech-
nique. Several counties and river auth-
orities assist by providing tree plant-
ers and, in some cases, the help of
experienced men,

CONGRATULATIONS, CHAMPS !
Vic Loughican and his midget softball team have,
added further to the \\Ingham's sporting laurels by cop-
ping the °ASA midget championship of Ontario, in two
games with Kirkland Lake over the week-end, This is the
second time within a year that a provincial championship
has come to Wingham, and for the majority of the ball
team as well as Mr. Loughleau, it will be the second time
they have been so honored.
Without detracting at all from the championship won
by the Bantam hockey team last spring, it might be well
to point out that the honors won by the ball team are of
even greater consequence. For while the hockey team
played• in its own classification against towns of a similar
size, the midgets had to face, and did, teams from such
larger centres as Stoney Creek (Hamilton), Oshawa and
Kirkland Lake. That they should win against such odds
is an indication oflhe calibre of softball that the club has
been playing this year.
The whole town is proud of Vic and his midgets, may
their shadows never grow less I
*
NOT NECESSARILY AN INCREASE
Now that the dust has settled a bit on the assessment
question, it might be a good idea to look the thing over in
a calm and collected way.
In the first shock of reading their assessment notices,
a lot of people jumped to the conclusion that their taxes
would be up proportionately. And that, for a lot of
people, would be a 'pretty serious thing.
Fortunately, it's not as bad as that. With an overall
increase of 35% in the town's assessment, the mill,rate
will necessarily be lower. If the town's expenditures i next
year are no greater than the amount spent this year, the
actual amount of taxes paid need not be very much higher
next year than this--in spite of higher assessments.
The rise in assessments will mean a slightly higher
amount of taxes to be paid to the county—an estimated
three or four thousand dollars added to the town's tax
bill. Apart from that, any tax increase next year will be
the result of increased spending on the part of the town—
not because of increased assessment. * * * S
NO INGENUITY ?
. ,Lookin,, over a: ,-colored toy catalogue the
other day, it occurred tp us that modern children, by and
large, must be singularly ;.eking in ingenuity. Either
that or they're perfectionists.
In the old days, when money and toys weren't too
plentiful, a lot of kids used to make their own playthings.
We can remember home-made bob sleds, soap box cars,
bows and arrows, catapults and whatnot. made by the
children themselves. They didn't have two-toned paint
jobs or chrome trim, but the kids had a lot of fun playing
with them. And they had just as much fun making them,
too.
Nowadays the make-it-yourself urge seems to have
gone by the board. Old-fashioned fathers may yearn for
a little workshop in the basement, but the younger gener-
ation seems to prefer its toys ready-made. Perhaps no
-one has told them that making things can be as much fun
as using them.
PARK ROUND THE BACK
The new two-hour parking by-law which is being
drawn up by the town council may have a salutary effect
on Josephine Street congestion—if it can be enforced.
There is no doubt that some action should be taken
on the subject of mnain street parking. The town has gone
to some expense to fix up a town parking lot on Victoria
Street in the hope that some of the all-day packers may be
persuaded to park there, rather than on the street. And the
widening of the street should do something towards open-
ing up the bottleneck which has slowed down through
traffic in the past.
But the problem of the all-day parker remains, and
the two-hour parking restriction is aimed at the fellow
INYno occupies a parking space on the street from 9 to 6.
Unfortunately, passing by-laws is one thing and en-
forcing them another, The council may find that without
hiring more help in the police department, it's pretty hard
to keep tabs on the parking offenders.
Q The co-operation of the citizens themselves is needed,
if the new by-law is to be effective.
BIG CITIES TOO BIG
Our big cities are far too big already, thinks the
financial Post. Ali-eady metropolitan Montreal and To-
ronto hold one in five Canadians, and ,account for nearly
-one quarter of the country's total retail sales.
Look at the cost of concentration-: Often two hours
a day going to and from work. Big city pressures. Inci-
dence of ulcers in downtown Montreal or Toronto, com-
pared with Main Street, Turtleford, Sask.
There's still a peaceful pace in a small town. The
glowing promise of the morning sun, shaded if at all, by
trees, not buildin gs. The noisy silence an idle noon
hour. A sky overhead unpitted by soot, Twilight on the
front porch, :IYay's end,
These are things the big cities will never know.

Another rural mail route has been
established to be served by the Wing-
ham post office. The route will be
known as No. 3 and will go into effect
about the first of October.
Mr,- Chas. Wood Sr., was discovered
in the raceway at Lower Wingham on
Wednesday afternoon of last week by
two litte girls, who at once gave the
alarm and after having been in the
water for some time was rescued
by Wm. Harris, John Brooks and oth-
ers. The men worked on Mr. Wood
until medical men arrived and he was
removed to Mr. Law's home and later
taken to the hospital where he passed
away about 10 p.m.
The schedule of convictions by Mag-
istrates in Huron County for the quar-
ter ending Aug. 31st, issued by Crown
Attorney Seager under date of Sept.
17th, shows but one case tried, a
breach of the License Act, in which
Inspector Torrance was the prosecu-
tor, and the fine imposed was $10 and
costs. That's a pretty good showing for
a county as large as Huron,
Mrs, Louisa Jane Stockton of Har-
riston succumbed on Monday to injur-
ies reSeived a few days before when
she was knocked down by a bicycle
on which her grandson was riding.
The deceased was in her 79th fear.
She formerly resided in. Howick, being
one of the early settlers of that town-
ship.
Another example of the criminal
carelessness in the handling of fore-
arms happened on Monday afternoon,
when, Mr. Andrew Hardie, of Turn
berry, was shot while on his way
home. It appears that a young lad was
plowing in a field adjoining the road,
when he was joined by two other
boys who had a .22 calibre rifle. Mr.
Hardie happened to be driving past
at the time one of the lads discharged
the rifle in the direction of the road.
The bullet struck Mr. Hardie in the
nape of the neck, rendering him un-
conscious for a short period.

On Friday evening, September 21st,
the Ijkanous group of the Canadian
Girls in Training met in the basement
of the United Church, where a very
enjoyable evening was` spent, during
which time a presentation was made
to Erma Finch prior to her depart-
ure for Western University and also
to Yvonne McPherson who has gone
to Queen's University. The presents
given were a leather hand bag to
Erma and an ivory clock to Yvonne.
Norma Robertson' read the address

W. J. Greer, secretary of Wingham
Fall Fair, received a message on
Tuesday that the Elite Attractions
that held forth for a week in Wing-

include merry-go-round, ferris wheel
concessions and side show.
A. E. Din-niri, 55, of Clinton, and
formerly of Lucknow district, and
Mrs. Eva Anderson, of Allan, Sask.,
were killed on Saturday When an

at a levil crossing near Elstow, Sask.
Mr, Andereon was injured. Mr. Dural -
in had arrived at Elstow and was en
route for a visit to a near-by farm
when the accident happened,
Rumor has it that the Bluevale
Road Under improvement just east of
Wingham, is not to receive gravel this
fall. Do the authorities wish this to
become a worse quagmire than last
spring When one farmer scarce got
