This is it, foiksf Thursday night
Coaxes, the opening gun for the annual
rontier Days celebration with the
far faired ,Juliette show in the arena,
Both .44riciay and Saturday will be
l)atk,ed with fun for all who can take
thin off from their daily chores to
j4in in the merriment.
Frontier Days are good for the
town of \\Ingham and the people who
live here, Remembering that the
Lions Club has developed this particu-
lar 'do" to replace the time -worn
frolics of former years, the Wild West
days are even more enjoyable. The
type of • entertainment which is now
provided offers real fun not only for
" th:e ° 1 baing 'fry who glory in the cow-
boy atmosphere, but for folks of more
mature years as well. The program
has sufficient variety to offer many
bours of sold enjoyment no Matter
Svhat the age.
The way we see it, one ,of the fin-
est features of the Frontier Day.s cele-
bration is the way the Lions Club has
field down the admission charges, so
that all :th•e .members hers of even a larger
fannl ' can, come out and join in the
ftVIVithout„°putting a permanent dent
in father's'`p;ocketbook. In this `age of
higher ' and ever higher prices the•

'T'his week's edition of The Ad-
.:1ance--Times carries an advertisement
'.,placed by the Wingham Branch of The
Canadian tegion; pointing out that
the ofganization disclaims any con-
nectiOn with the sale ' of 'magazines
which is likely to be undertaken in this
'area by outside salesmen.
Last year the district was solidly
'.fCovered by salesmen who operated in
the name of a Legion ,Branch in a
neig,hbouring community and the corn-
P-1.Aints have been pouring in 'ever since
:fie Purchasers very unwisely parted
with cash at their doors for magazines
Which many of them failed to receive.
We are not much in favor of turn-
-,pver money ,to any strange sales-
MAn -- and more Particularly not on
a -magazine deal. Sale Of periodicals
fro4daor, to door seems to have fallen
info the hands of racketeers time after
time. This, of course,: is not the fault
of the magazine pUbliShers, most of
whom know nothing- of the phony
sales efforts which are carried onfi •

Year. In•keeping with Hydro's Golden
Jubilee, Marking the' fiftieth. year of
_service of this great publicly -owned
imthe Hydro Building at the "Ex" has
• been Set aside for models and 'murajs
depicting the role played by electricitY
in the progress of the Province Since
the early part of this century. In this
'thorn model -makers have reproddced

point of impossibility when an attempt
is made to fit them to a balanced do-
mestie budget
With this thought in mind the
Lions have made a successful effort
tO provide the most fun for the least
money —• and the gigantic crowds
which turned out last yearwould seem
to provide proof that the.public ap-
preciates economical entertainment.
Away and beyond' any other bene-
fit Accruing from Frontier Days is the
grand spirit of good fun which per-
meates the community while the cele-
bration is in the making% People,
after all, do enjoy poking a bit of fun
.at themselves and at each other — and
when staid and sober businessmen
don their • ten-gallon hats and plaid
Shirts much of the reserve and false
dignity is dropped and a good-natured
holiday sPirit emerges. For once busi-
ness'is not the main theme and every7
one sets outto have A good time.

One of the High .School students who

just bear in mind that if you bite
on the sales pitch handed out by one
of the strangers who may call at your

The Wingham Legion is not sponsor-
ing the sale — regardless of what you.
marbe told, and if you protest to the
publisher of :the magazine- when your
copies fail to arrive,.you may find that
h.as:never heard of you before and
that he has never received any money
for your subscription. Buy your mag-
azines from a loca.1 dealer. He will be
right here in business. and will listen
;patiently- to your complaints 'should
