On ThuredaY afternoon of last
week, students assembled
in the auditoeiem to welcome a
well-known visitor- to the: high
achool Bible Club, In the pOrsoil oC
Rev, Wes Aarum, "Wes," us most;
of us 'have come to know Iaim, will
h e remembered as one of the pi•
minent figures in the recent Cru-
sade for Christ, held in Wingham,
During this Crusade, all who made
his acqttaintanee came to achnire
and respect him, not only for the
great witness he bears for (Thrift,
hut -also for his eaptivating'person-
ality,
Y,F.C. Bible Club meeting
opened with a rousing sing-song,
led by Agnes Lane, accompanied
Helen Haines at the piano.
Rev. Aarum was introduced by
the president of the Bible
Danny Stuckey.. • Dnring Rev.
Aarum's talk with the students, he
endeavoured to impress on the
young people present, the miser-
tainty of our lives. Because of this
uncertainty, we must accept Christ
now, and give our lives to Him. It
is not a matter to attend to to-
morrow, or 'next week, but now.
Secondly, Rev, Aarum stated that
when the Bible speaks of believing
in Christ, it doesn't mean believing
only with our heads, It means,
rather, giving to Christ our life,
our all, and accepting Him to the
best of our ability, before it is ton
late.
Rev. Aarum's talk was- of great
interest to all and an inspiration to
many. Everyone is looking forwares
to the time. when "Wes" will be in
our midst again.

Park -of idea ‘vort by of con-
sideration, Slush tt project might pro-
vide both a. natural park site on the

place for the people of town.
Although nothing &flinty has been
done about it as yet, discussion on the
project centred around the idea of
putting a roadway into the property
from Pleasant Valley, clearing up the
site to make Aa suitable park for pie-
nies; and dredging out the river to
make a swimming- pooh
There's no doubt lint that a scenic
park of this type would be a decided
asset to the town. The present park,
beyond providing space for one or two
picnic tables and a spot for the kiddies'
wading pool, is of very limited use to
anyone, and is certainly no place for a
family picnic.
Naturally, fixing up First Bush
into a park would require a certain
amount of money, To begin with
In a pleasant, wooded area near
London. a group of hard-working,
patient people are pioneering in the ad-
vances against one of the most heart-
rending afflictions of children, the
mysterious a.nd baffling ronditi-im
known aS- cerebral palsy.
Medical science knows only that.
CP., as • the condition is often -called, is
a lack 0fro-ordination between mind
and muscle, a failure in the nerve sys-
tem.- which controls physical. move-
ment, Today, largely because of tech-
niques developed at' the Woodeden
iresidential centre for children .with
cerebral palsy, which is supported by
the Easter Seals Mind of the Ontario
.Society for Crippled Children, it is
known that patient training can .over-
come mach of this lack. Comistant
xepetition of movements can teach
twitching muscles to accomplish com-
mon tasks that everyone else takes 'for
-granted,-
CP 'children are average children,
some brilliant, some not. However
very few of the parents of 'CP children
have the. time, the skill of the emotion-

The main street of Wingham won't
be,. quite -the same, now that radio
station 'CKNX has closed its offices
'in the Field .Building and_ moved imp

high school building. Not a few -of
the people of downtown Wingham will
be sorry to see the radio people go.
..Yor over twenty years the radio
station has been one of the focal spots
on the main street. Hundreds -of visi-
tors and a good many celebrities have
passed, through its doors, and it's safe.
to -say that a great many people who
would otherwise never have heard of
Wingham, have visited our town be-
cause the station was located here. In
fact the studin was in a fair way to
becoming a main drag landmark, like
the town hall, the post office or the
printing office.
Apart from the publicity which has
been brought to Wingham by the
good offices of .CKNX, people of the
town have benefftted in other ways
by the pfesence of the radio studio on
the main street. Rubbing elbows with
radio personalities, many of whom
have had wide experience in other
parts of the country, has undoubtedly
given Wingham a little more of the
cosmopolitan touch than other towns
of its size. It has also, incidentally,
given the citizens of town, an interest-
ing topic of conversation with visitors,
dining which they can refer casually
to "our television station" or "our

Every town has a merchant who
thinks the Sport page is the only= page
people read. Next door to him the
merchant prefers the back page be-
cause it is "where people look first".
The retailer across the street demands
society page because that's all wo-
men read.
And so it goes. Everyone has his
own idea of where people read most
and first. The fact is they are all
`wrong., and they are all right.
A study of reading habits of hund-
reds of towns made by the Bureau. of
Advertising found that the pages
of the newspaper" are read. In fact,
left-hand pages get one per cent more
readers than right-handed pages.
The fact is, and this is shown by
the above study, that the page and
ppsition on that page make not one,
whit of difference in capturing read-
. ers. It- is what the advertisement says,
how it says it, and how it is presented
