Congratulations are extended to the sixty percent who passed their tests and it is hoped that the others Will redouble their efforts, as Many of them were on the border line. The following Were successful ) Preliminary figures, Xarla Krug, Wilfred Pocock; Dutch waltz, Jane. Arnie Colvin, Wit Drag, Wilfred The curling fraternity of Wing- banr. and district gathered at 'the club at 7.00 pan. for the last fling on the ice. A jitney type draw was made and two U end games were played. At the conclusion of play the annual meeting was held in the club with about 00 4',uriers in attendance. President A. D. Mac- William occupied the chair. The minutes of tlip last annual meet- ing were road by Dr. A. W. Irwin,. The treasurer's report was given by the treasurer, H, L, Sherbondy and adopted on motion of Dr, W. A. Crawford and Bill Tiffin, The Jack Alexander, chairman of the town council's public works com- mittee, last week declared that none of the trees along the town streets are being cut down "unless absolutely necessary.". Mr. Alex- ander was replying' to an editorial In last week's issue of The Ad- vance-Times concerning the cutting down of shade trees on Wingham's streets. "People all over town are asking us to cut down trees on their front lawns," Mr. Alexander told The Advance-Times, "and more often than not we refuse to do so be- cause the trees are not hi bad enough shape to warrant their de- struction." Mr, Alexander said that to date this year eleven trees have been triken down by men of the public works department. Of this total, four on Carling 'Terrace were re- moved at the, request of the Wing- 'ham- District --High ,-•School Board, and one' at the public school was taken down after the public school board had suggested its removal, The remaining six were cut down by town men because their condi- tion was regarded as dangerous. Mr. Alexander said that hi every case where a tree had been re- moved, men of the department had undertaken the job only as a last resort. Many people who had asked to have trees removed had been re- fused because the trees were still in good condition, he said. Regarding the row of trees around the public school property, Mr. Alexander said that the public school board intends to have the trees examined by an expert before coming to any decision about cut- ting them down. He indicated that the ,public works department might consider similar action to find o'ut which •of the town trees could be saved 'and which are dangerous enough to be destroyed. One of the problems facing the public works department is rot in the forks of many of the old trees of town. Water gets into the rotted part of the tree and freezes, often causing the tree to split clown the main trunk. When this happens, trees sometimes split in half, as Pocock, Betty Hutcheson, Elizabeth Burrell, Diane Radford, Chill Susan Wightma,n, Sue Ne- smith, Leant Daugherty, Mae Doub- Wee, Karen Cook, Sylvia Alexan- der, Beatrice Klein and Douglas Hamilton; swing dance, Wilfred Poeoek, Sandra MacLennae, Mar- lene Stainton; canasta tango, Karla Krug, Wilfred Pocock, Irene Saint, Harold Brooks; fiesta tango, Alice Hayden; ten fox, Jean Gurney, Irene Saint, Alice Hayden; fear- Leen step, Harold Brooks, Irene Saint.

All parents of prospective skaters are invited to submit their ideas either before or during the annual Meeting; One patent of each child is entitled to a vete, AO well as all associate members, at the Meeting. report showed the club to, be in a good financial position with over 000.00 in the hank, A sincere vote • of - thanks was tendered the ladies club for their very generouu donation of $500. Officers Elected Time president thanked the mem- bers for their assistance In making the year such tt success and then ealled upon the••secr.etary to read the report of the nominating com- mittee on motion of jack McKib- bon and Lloyd Casemore, The report of the norninirting commit- tee was adopted and the follow- ing were declared elected as offic- did one of the trees at the public school during a recent wind and ice storm. At that time school auth- orities asked that the tree be cut down immediately, as a hazard to children on the school playground. Mr, Alexander said that the town men have chained two branches together in such cirepmsta.nces, in an effort to save the tree.
