THEY WILL BE MISSED
Last week Wingham lost a fam-
ily -WM will be seriously missed from
the .community. Dr, and Mrs. Er-
nest Pulley had not been residents
here for a long time, but, during
their brief stay they had made a
host of warm friends. Their home
was always open to nurses and assis-
tants from the hospital and their
general good citizenship had becoihe
well-known to many.
Departing, as they have done, to
undertake an arduous missionary
task in Jamaica, we cannot but ad-
mire their courage and devotion to
Christian principles-and extend the
best of good wishes for success- in
Their work. May we find more citi-
'•zerit- like them;]
IMPROVED SERVICE
One of the most thankless jobs in
the town is that of the chairman of
the street commission. No matter
how he carries out his duties 'there
is still a vocal element of the popula-
tion ready to point out his errors.
ConticiIlor Ron Nasmith, who is the
present holder of this formidable po-
sition, along with the members of
his committee, has undertaken to
face the critics boldly and provide a
vastly improved system of snow re-
moval from the main street. This
. year the snow has been taken away
three or four times, so that there has
never been. any great accumulation
along the edges of the walks.
No doubt some will complain.
that is costs too much money-hut
times have changed considerably
in the last few years and both mo-
torists and pedestrians are demand-
ing this type of service. Other com-
plaints will no doubt be register-
ed that the lion's share of the avail -
able money is being spent on the
main street. There are two or three
good reasons why it should he. The
first is that a cluttered main street
doesn't attract too many customers
to our town. The second reason,
and a very logical one, is that the
property owners along the main
street pay extra mills on their gen-
eral tax rate because the properties
are commercial, an lh e ilso cough
up a fairly stiff business tax in ad-
dition. Tor extra taxes they should
get extra services.
There have been big improve-
ments in the appearance of the main
thoroughfare in the past year, and.
this added. service in snow removal
is in line with a progressive civic
atmosphere.

The Premier was really friendly.
"So glad yon could come", he beam-

pond is a .first-class example.
The millponds in most commit ,
nities have ceased to be economically
important (though that is not the
ease with the Lower Town pond),
Most of these artificial water reser
voirs at one time controlled the in
dustrial economy of the communities
in which they were located. In fact,
many of Ontario's towns and vil--
lages sprang up at sites where water
power would be available.
With the. advent of network hy-
dro electric power, however, many
of the ponds are no longer important
from the business standpoint and so
have been allowed to fall into decay,
The dams which form the ponds are
often in a sad state of repair, the
river bottoms are filling with sib:
and theponds are overgrown. with
Weeds.. 1
The truth of the matter is that
these millponds still have a startling
value as a means of conserving
water supplies and forming the focal
point for park development. And

economic value of good parks, it's
time you travelled around. the coun-
• tryside. We can name a dozen places
where artificial ponds have been cre-
ated at tremendous cost to attract
tourists and others who place nat-
ural beauty high on their list of. re-
quirements.
The Sportsmen plan first of all
to establish the lower pond as a bird
sanctuary, here no shooting will be
permitted. If we are not mistaken
their interest in this project will.

NEW COLUMNS
The Advance-Times has received
several-favorable comments recently
• about the new columns which the
newspaper is carrying. Mrs. John
P. McKibbon is writing a hook re-
view, based on new books at the
W inghani Public Library, Another
expanded feature is the Boy Scout
column which iiow carries news of
Scouts and their activities not only
in Wingh.ani but in the outlying
centres as well:

bility. We tend to shy away from.
all that is over-dramatic or of poor
taste. •
The policy we have adhered to
would seem to be bearing fruit, for
The Advance-Times is experiencing
a steady growth in circulation. Last
week, for, example, 2,134 copies of
the paper were issued to paid-up
subscribers and news stand purchas-
ers. There were 326 newstand sales,
which is about 300 more than was
the case six or seven years ago.
BLESSED WINTER
One reason why winter has not
been praised adequately is that most
of the world's great literature has so
far been produced in areas where
they have no worthwhile winter.
Homer had - no Chance to know the
glories of a •Canadi,sm winter with
the MOW shining brighter than his
goddesses. Dante had as splendid
an imagination, but a northern Ital-
ian winter was sleety mud. Shake-
spear, peer of both, might reason-
ably have been expected to imagine
how wonderful winter could he, but
he was stuck with that terrible
thing, the English winter.
There is an obviously fine oppor-
tunity for Canadians .to take winter
over and make something of it. Ex-
perience is not lacking, most writers
being too poor to escape. Besides,-
there is the spur of competition.
Among all the other things the T22118-
Siang possess, winter they have
aplenty. And it is unlikely that any
restrictions. are placed on USSR
writers who can get their fingers
thawed out enough to praise the
Russian winter.
The Canada Council might well
stipulate, in passing out expense
money for travel, that, instead of
heading away from .this country,,Ca-
nadians should travel in their own
land, especially afoot' and especially
in the mornings and early after-
noons of winter days, when there is
about fifteen degrees, of frost and
the sun is darting ,around _from
every direction through gently blow-
ing snow among the carved drifts.
Homer and. Dante and Shakespeare
would have instantly appreciated,
that. the Canadian. winter was one of
themost. wonderful experiences
.available to humans.
in our dealings with others. It re-
minds me of the little girls .prayer
"Lord, make bad people good, end
good people nice." The best of
Christians have need to bear 'with
one another; to provoke their
graces and not their passions. The
toleration we expect from others
should he practised by us. Tb
those around us we should show a
tolerant temper, patient Spirit, and
loving heart.
The writer here has something
else in mind. We are to .be slow
to wrath even to those who irri-
tate us and frustrate our designs..
Christ pleaSed not himself and en-
dured the contradiction of sinners.
'For three years. He had infinite
patience with a handful of men
who were backward and slow to
grasp his doctrine, Yet He did
not blame them, He did not give
them up..
"He did not come to judge the
world,
HO did not come to Warne,
He did not only'eorne to, seek,
It was to save He came,
And when we call him, Saviour,
We call him by his raw."
We note further than even when
he was reviled; mocked. and insult-
ed he neither sought nor desired
revenge. Thus Christ sets the
standard for our Christian living,
We who profess to. be his followers
..4)101414 , ever seek to' live that
others will feel -that in- us they
have, a friend in whom. they can
confide. It is 'this :kind of living
that will cause them to turn 'to
the Friend and Saviour from. sin
and the. enricher of their lives Int
He has 'been to us since we re-
ceived Him into our hearts by
faith. May we live that worthy
life of modesty and gentleness ever
remembering that God for Christ
sake has forgiven us,

From time to time the minister
Is called upon to listen to. the most
intimate secrets and confessions.
I recall an old man. who once want-
ed to confide in me, but he said.
"Van I trust you?" I assured him
that he could and he told me his
story. I trust that as a result of
our conversation. lie felt better, He
was a little doubtful because he
felt that there was so much cruel
gossip around, even among church
people. That is the way he put it.
This set me thinking of a verse
in Ephesians 2:4 where we read
this sound advice, "Forbearing
one another in love." Dr. Moffatt
has a very fine translation of this
verse ,"I beg of you to live a life
worthy of your calling, with per-
fect modesty and gentleness,"
There is no true love without
patience, Paul in this letter coml.-
