the Armouries on Monday night, and

Members of the Battery had their
wives, girlsa nd special guests with
,them, and were on their best behav=
lour for the occasion. The usual
barrack room type of humor was
packed away for the evening, and
even Sgt. Bill Grover seemed to have
toned dow na little. Perhaps he
figured he wouldn't get that electric
train for Christmas if he didn't be-
have.

Council of Churches
Meets at Brussels -
The Wingham and District Council
of Churches met in the home of the
Reverend W. H, T. Fulton, the Pres-
byterian manse, Brussels, Ontario, on
Monday, December 7th, 1953.
The meeting opened with a brief
devotional period conducted by the
president, Rev. H, L. Parker, of
Wingham, and Rev. W. J. V. Buchan-
an, the United Church minister of
Gorrie.
With the president in the chair, the
meeting adopted the minutes of the
last meeting as read by Rev. M.
Baillie of Bluevale.
Durilig the business period it was
decided that the giving of religious
instruction in the schools by the
clergy should be a matter for
thoughtful. consideration, and such
action as is thought to be feasible
and desirable, on the part of each
minister in view of his local situation.
A thought provoking paper was
given by Rev. J. E. Ostrom, of the
Clinton Baptist Church, who spoke
on the subject "The Wonderful
Birth".
Some lively discussion followed the
presentation of the paper. Some dif-
ferences of judgment were expressed;'
and shared concerning the question
as to what constitutes the essentials
of Christian belief.
The thanks of the meeting was ex-
tended to Rev. Ostrom by Rev. R. J.
Boggs of Molesworth Presbyterian
Church.
Hearty thanks were also extended
on behalf of the gathering by Rev.
Alex Nimmo, of Wingham Presbyter-
ian Church, to Mrs. Fulton and her
helper for the serving of a delicious
lunch.

On the public school pupils to walk
directly to school.
Board Taken To Task
Mr. MacWilliam, pointed out that
the county council, composed of
reeves of the Various township Coun-
cils, had taken the Wingham District
High School board to task for having
the highest transportation bill of any
high school in Huron County. He raid
that tile county council had recom-
mended that the board cut down on
their transportation, and the only way
to do this, he pointed out, was to cut
out some of the many feeder lines the
high nehool was operating. In line
With the county council's reeennnerAd
atioa, the transportation committee
had .reVieWe4 routes and re-Or-
ranged them so as to effect these
economies. The policy of the board
was now to pick up at their homes all
students Who had more than 1 114
miles to walk, but that all children
within that distance should walk to
the bus. The board hopes to effect a
saving of about one Mill on these
curtailments, which went into force at
the first of September. Mr, Moclaril.
limn also pointed out that when he
was around to, see the various muni-
cipal touncils during the summer,
they had all asked why somethigg
couldn't be done to cut down on the
high cost of transportation.
After the delegation from Grey had
retired, two gentlemen from Culross,
Mesirs. Cashes and Marshall, took
the floor, and entered the :same plea
for some of the students there. They
said that they recognised the difficul-
ties under which the board worked in
this regard, but would be glad if
something could be done to alleviate
the situation in Culross.
No Extensions
After both delegations had left the
matter of transportation was discuss-
ed by the board. Members felt that
the board had adopted the practice of
picking up only those students which
lived more than 1 114 miles from the
bus route, as it matter of policy, and
they felt that they could hardly make
exceptions in a few instances, The
general feeling was that if they made
exceptions for some they would have
to make exceptions for all, in which
case the transportation system would
be back on the old basis and at the
old expense. After some discussion
the board decided against making any
further extensions of the now existing
bus routes.
W. S. Hall, principal, gave the
monthly school report. He said that
attendance for the month previous
had been on an average of 361.2 or
95.68 per cent, He reported that a
total of $1,250 had been awarded to
students of the high school in scholar-
ships, and that a total of awards
amounting to $2,450 was in sight.
Forty-three students were registered
in the school's night classes.
Gordon Stolso was welcomed to the
board as representative from Culross,
taking the place of J. H, Little, who
has resigned.

Turkey. Dinner for

Wingham Hustlers was held Thursday
in the Legion Hall. A turkey dinner
with all the trimmings was enjoyed by
