feated in a grannie with a 200-lb. pig
Making a frantic escape bid• from a
truck into which it Waa being leaded.
Porky scrambled ,from the truck,
knocked down Mr, Doerr, and landing
on top of him, The result—a badly
bruised loser. The pig later was cap-
tured.—Walkerton Herald Times.
Talking to Lloyd Ellacott in Edigh-
offer's the other day, we were re-
minded that this month marks the
first anniversary of an old store un-
der new management. Just about a
year ago the business was purchased
by Edighoffer's of Mitchell, a firm
that have operated an extensive cloth-
ing and grocery buiness there for
more than 30 years.
The store has continued under the
managership of Lloyd Ellacott since
that time, and has been constantly
improved under • the new owriershin.
Lloyd reports that the stock is much
bigger now than it ever has been
before, and that several new lines
have been added, including advertised
brands which were not formerly sold
by the store.
There's been quite an improvement
in the store interior, too. The old box-
ed-in windows have been taken out
and replaced by a more modern-type
of window more suitable for display
purposes, and the inside of the store
has seen several changes in the decor-
ation scheme. Lloyd says that there
are other plans on foot to improve the
store at the moment, which will pro-
bably be annzinced in the near fut-
ure.
Big shopping news of the week Is
the gigantic clearance sale at Hanna's
Men's and Ladies' Wear for the next
ten days. Timed just right for early
Christmas shopping, the sale features
a lot of bargains that ought to appeal
to all members of the family.
Talking ti? Clare Cantelon about
the sale and some of the prices quoted
We remarked on a couple of items in
the men's store which, at the adver-
tised price were being practically giv-
en away. In fad the price on one of
them was so low we thought it was a
typographical error. Clare assured us
it was not, We won't mention the item,
but if you look through the Hanna
ad, you'll probably spot it.

One of the smartest little bits of
promotion welve seen in a long while
is the Sylvaply "How-to-do-it" series
of projects on display in the Beaver
Lumber Company office. Designed
primarily to sell plywood (made by
Sylvaply, of course) the series comes
in the form of handy little folders,
each describing a home workshop pro-
ject using plywood.
The folders give complete instruct-
ions on how to make such things as
living room cabinets, summer cottages,
toys, garden furniture and what not.
Each folder has complete plans for its
own project, plus a bill of materials,
listirig all the things you need to do
the job, The instructions are simple
and easy to follow, and the projects
don't require any more than the ord-
inary, or garden variety of tools.
Of interest to the hunter and fish-
erman is the Sportsman Pram Dinghy,
an eight-foot boat which can be row-
ed or used with an outboard. Made of
plywood, the boat is excellent for
car-top carry, and weighs only 65
pounds. Family men may like the
Easy-To-Make Toys folder, with a
number ,of simple, but interesting-
looking ,,of for the kiddies. Al-
most anybody can find something in
the series to interest them,
Pamphlets in the series are avail-
able at Beaver Lumber free of
charge.
Talking to Joe McGill the other day
about television reception, we were
reminded of the early days of radio,
and some of the troubles they had
then. Remember when static was the
big bugaboo in the radio field? Now-
adays they have some of the same
trouble with TV, only it looks as if
the trouble may be cleared up sooner
than it was in radio.
T V reception seems to vary with
the weather, and for the past few days
hasn't been so good yet two weeks
ago everybody was commenting on the
wonderful reception. Seems that the
change of seasons has something to
do with it.
However TV fans can take comfort
from the fact that better things are
on their way. The station at London
will be opening up at the end of this
month and should come in pretty well
in Wingham. Other American stations
are stepping up their power and are
expected to give better reception in
the near future, So there's hope of
better things to come in the not-too-
distant future.
Even at that, Wingham is 'in a bet-
ter position than Toronto, say. There
are several stations to tune to here,
and prospects of more. But in Toronto
all they have is Buffalo and Toronto.
And Torontonians, apparently, don't
like their own station very much,

RIPE RASPBERRIES
IN NOVEMBER °
Several weeks ago Mr. William
Giesler brought into the Herald-Times
office stalks of raspberries bearing
luscious ripe fruit, That was, in Octo-
ber and was considered noteworthy
for this part of the world. However,
on Tuesday of this week Mr. Giesler
presented further proof of fix mild,
open fall in the form of more rasp-
berries. These were picked in the
same garden in the East Ward, and it
is. said the stalks have been producing
fruit all through the month of Octo-
ber. Ripe raspberries in October are
really worthy of note, 'but to pick this
midsummer fruit in November, in the
Bruce County Capitals really worth
telling the rest of the world about.—

OF CHURCHES
.0E5 IN PELORAVE
The Wingham and District .Council
of Churches, met recently in the home
of the Rev. Q. p. Cox, the 'United
Church Manse, Belgrave, Ontario,
The meeting opened ritli a brief
devotional period conducted by Rev,
Pollock and Rev. H, L, Parker, of
Wingham.
With the president, Rev. H. L. Par-
ker, of St, Paul's Anglican C'aurch,
Wingham, in the chair, the meeting
adopted the minutes of the last meet-
ing as read by Rev. Matthew Bailie,
of the Bluevale Presbyterian Church.
Arising out of a question raised dur-
ing the business period there was
some discussion of the place of and
need for religious instruction and
knowledge of the Bible in our day
school curriculums.
With Rev. Pollock as acting chair-
man, the president, Rev, H. L. Parker
delivered -a thought provoking, chal-
lenging and greatly appreciated paper
on the subject of the place and auth-
ority of the Christian minister in
modern society, It was kindly sub-
mitted to the group, consisting -of
ministers of several denominations
that the Christian minister is some-
thing more than just another perso
If truly a Christian minister, he, or
she, is a person called of God to the
exalted and very responsible position
of 'being God's representative to man,
It was understood that -while everyone
has the privilege of making a direct
approach to Almighty God, the Father
of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ,
one may often be helped to make more
appropriate and adequate approaches
by a fellow human being set apart by
God and man for that purpose.
Following some lively discussion, a
delicious lunch was served and the
tha*ks of the meeting extended to
Mrs. C. D. Cox and Mrs. Miehie, by
Rev, R. G. Hazelwood of Mount For-
est.
