BOX 473 1 February 11, 1960 Dear Barry, I would just like CO give you my opinion on part of your editor- ial "Blessed Winter". You, are quite right, there is a certain splendor in the Canadian winter, especially on those cold, clear days where the sky is so blue it looks all wrong, and the twigs and branches of the willows along the river are covered with ice, or on some mornings, with Sugary dust- ing of frost. But .Homer Dante and Shakes- pear -were quite normal human be- ings at their time, and their hearts would probably have felt just as heavy as ours when we see the fuel tank in our back yard. There are the good and bad sides to Canadian winter, as .to everything .else, and I am sure that there are many people who enjoy -it—anyway, part of the time, Yours truly, Hildburg S. Mutt.

REV. T. v. KrwbrgnY, Xte(k., WRONETER E The COIT held: Bluevele, Ontario ] the regular meeting in the chttreit. basement, opening with the call to worship; and prayer. The national anthem was sung and the purpose and answer repeated. Everyone joined hi singing a hymn and the Scripture was read by Lynne Wright. Connie Cethera read a prayer and the roll was called and -minutes read. Following the discussion of busi- ness matters the leader told a story, "Seeing Eyes", and then • showed. a film. on the subject.. In 1909, a group of determined girls almost broke up a Boy Scout Rally in London's Crystal Palace by appearing in strange adaptations of their brothers' Scout uniforms, and insisting on being allowed to join the game of Scouting. liord ( then Sir), Robert Baden Powell, being an understanding man, worked out la plan far a similar organization" suitably adapted fax girls, and thus the Girl Guide Move- ment was born. Within a year, it had taken vigorous root in Britain and spread to Canada, Australia, South Africa and Vinland. Canada's first company was the 1st St. Catharines Company in On- tario, registered, with the parent association in England itt JanuarY" 1910;• This year with mare than 1713.,00G 131;ownies, Girl Guides and Rangers, and 2-5,000- leaders, (Inkling iii' Canada is marking its Golden Ju- bilee,--50 years of training young Canadian girls for healthy, happy and useful citizenship. What do Guides and Brownies do besides lining official routs, look- ing trim and neat in their blue or brown uniforms? When a girl joins,. she promises "to do her best". She learns -to follow -the four Signposts of Girl Guiding: Intelligence, Handi- craft, Health and Service, for ail- rottrid development of her personal- ity. She leArns to follow the wishes of the majority, to do her share of the work, to accept guidance from her leaders. Through a care- fay-developed series of tests, she learns the elements of homemaking, and of how to enjoy life outdoors. Front the moment she becomes a member, she learns the importance Of good health, by following-accept - ed health rules and studying nutri- tion and child care. She may win proficiency badges by 'developing hobbies, interests which may lead ,to a chosen career. She leart's. to appreciate the. simple things of life, acquires a love of na- ture, and. undergoes an all-round spiritual development impossible to attain among the artificial amuse- ments of today. Through contacts with other girls of her own age frdin other parts of Canada and the world, she makes new friends and learns tolerance and understanding of other cultures. This spring, from coast to coast, "MERRY -WIVES" COMING Lovers of good music will be de: lighted that the - Lions Club has again this.year decided to-bring an opera to town.for local-presentation, Last year's opera was "The Barber of Seville", sung entirely in English, and though there were many who were skeptical about the support it- would receive, there was a fine atten- dance. This year's presentation is "The Merry Wives of Windsor", based on Shakespeare's immortal comedy of the same name. If there is any one thing we do lack in smaller communities it is an opportunity to hear good music and see first-rate drama. The Stratford Festival has provided a welcome an- swer in the latter rase but it is only through such efforts. as the Lions are undertaking that we have any chance to enjoy good music first hand. It takes a good deal of courage to sponsor this type of entertain- ment in Wingham, for there is al- ways plenty of derision for the music lover who is sufficiently "high brow" to enjoy an opera. The suc- cess of last year's effort has certain- - ly justified this second attempt, and it is to be hoped that there will be even greater support When "The Merry Wives of Windsor" is pre- nented on March I1 th.

Special Jubilee Camps are being planned during the summer, each attended by girls from every province in Canada. Every Brownie t'ack. and Guide and Rang- er' Company will observe birthday celebrations, with birthday cakes and pageantry. Canadian girls—and their par- ents—are indeed fortunate to have shared Guiding during the past 50 eat's with other girls around the world, now numbering four and a - half millions. As yet another gener- ation of 8-year olds solemnly prom- ise "to do their best", we are proud to wish Girl Guiding in Canada a "Happy Birthday", to wish them many, many more, and to say, as their late, great Founder awl Chief would have said, "Well done, Guides 1" WHO PAYS THE BILL?' At the recent annual n.leeting of the Wingham General Hospital De- Witt Miller, chairman of the proper- ty committee, devoted a portion of his report to a warning that some planning should be commenced for the construction of additional hos- pital space here. He was not merely talking to arouse interest, for the figures on hospital population for the past year are proof of the fact that more space is needed. Most of the time there are from 15 to 25 more patients in the building than it is rated to handle. As a result beds' are placed -in the halls, the day room and other unsuitable places. The big question, of course, is who pays for the new seciton? There are established grants for capital costs in connection with hospitals, but that still leaves a big slice for the people of Wingham and district to shoulder—and it's' not too long since they shouldered the last one. Many who are acquainted with hos- pital problems feel that our own. institution deserves higher than, av- erage grants because of the fact that so many of the patients served are from outside our own district. The Wingham Hospital is rapid- ly becoming something more than an ordinary stnall town institution. It is a medical centre, where patients. come from miles away to cancer clinic, for physiotherapy, for blood hank service and chronic patients' care. We have facilities here which are not available in other hospitals in the area. We are pleased to he able to help these people, but it does seem obviods that we cannot be ex- pected to provide the cash for ever bigger buildings to accommodate them. If the Department of Health wants Wingham to provide ektra services it should be prepared to pro- vide extra grants. "PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST" Heart disease is our country's `Number One killer.

HP at once made proof of his faith in Christ by giving away out- right one-half of his wealth. He said: "Behold, Lord, half of my wealth I give to the poor", He also: made provision for the resti- tution of any money he had collect- ed wrongfully as a publican. Again he spoke saying: "If I have de- frauded any man I restore him fourfold". This was proof of his conversion. There was enough of the grace of Cod in his heart to pay his debts and from now on Pee Wee Zacchaeus could truth- fully say, "I owe no man anything but love". H'enceforth he lived 'not for sordid gain for himself but for the Glory of God and in the service of 'his fellow men. Dear Lord—inalte all lovers of money to he filled with his mind and spirit. Amen.

General Council of The Boy Scouts 7Associatiou, 306 Metcalfe Street, Ottawa, Ontario. Re File 206-4-1 Dear Mr. Evans: Re your letter of January fluth, take pleasure in donating the a n- closed photograph of the 1914 Wingham Boy Scout Troop Hockey Team 'for inclusion in your Ar- chives and Museum. To the' best of my knowledge, I believe the Wingham Troop of Boy Scouts was organized erouna 1910, and I was a charter member. Mr. Richard Edward Noble (Dick) Bar- ron, a young English immigrant was its organizer and its Scout- master until he enlieted for service overseas early in the First World War (1914-1918). Dick Barron was an English gentleman, in the noblest and best meaning of that word, well educat- ed, refined in manner and speech, an impeccable dresser, a pleasing personality, and of undoubted in- tegrity. He was an ardent enthu- siast for the Boy Scout movement and be apparently had had much experience in it in England. His sincerity and charming manner -were: responsible_for the formation of a large and very active Boy Scout Troop in -Wingham and, due to his connections in England, he obtained permission for the troop to 'he named "Lord Charles Beres- fordts Own Canadian Troop of Boy Scouts of Wingham, Ontario". The troop consisted of several patrols, each under a patrol leader. Besides many indoor coursee of in- struction, the troop often took long tramps, camping out for meals and sometimes over night, etc. Instruc- tion in trail finding, crossing ra- vines and streams, building and proper control of fires, etc., etc., ad infinitum, provided wonderful training for - future years. Tests were given from time to time to assess the proficiency of each Scout in the various courses of in- struction, and each test successfully paSsed meant another proficiency -badge to wear on the sleeve of the Scout .shirt:- For example two of the tests Were for swimming mid life-saving. Each summer the troop camped out for two weeks. I recall that twice we had our summer camp. on the shore of Lake Huron, just north of Kincardine, in the woods at the rear of the Fraser farm. An- ther year we spent the two weeks amped in the hills, known as "The Alps", north of the village of Tees- water. These, camps were part; holi- day and part intensive and eeten- sive training. Most of WinglEam's first Boy 'Scout Troop served overseas in World. War One, (1914-1918), and several were R.I.A. Only one word, "inValuable", aptly describes the training received by the members of that troop 10 1010-1914. Yours sincerely, Leon, C. Cantelon. Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Weppler, Chesiey, were Sunday visitors with the latter's patents, Mr. and Mrs. 'Russell Walker.
