Edwarde Wormworth Lieutenant Jardin inspected the men at the opening parade on Monday evening at the Wingham Armouries. He 'then detailed them to their various duties. The gun- ners were in the gun shed and the drivers outside. In the second period the Battery was split up into teams of four each, Captain Thompson had the. men blanket and lash: in casualties. All went well until several teams turned in their casualties upside down to test the lashings, For- tunately they held. After the break between the second and third period the drivers. went outside to try and warm up the trucks, They also went to. refuel, If anyone was run over they are asked to excuse the novice drivers. The gunners had their usual gun drill review in prepara- tion for the spring exercise. The officers received instruction from WO II Dawson on the use of the field telephone. These phones will provide a mode of communication between the rescue leaders and the commanding of- ficers in an emergency. Commanding Officer Major Rit- ter took the dismissal parade. He reminded the men to continue the recruiting program, as the instruc- tion of the new men will begin the first week in February. Anyone wishing to join is re- minded to be at the Wingham Armouries at eight o'clock on Monday evening. In the- Canadian Militia you get paid as you learn; •. BRITISH MORTGAGE TO BUILD IN LISTOWEIA The annual meeting of the Wing- ham United Church Sunday School was held on Friday evening, when the teachers and officers enjoyed a turkey banquet, to which the Evening Auxiliary catered, Clayton Shackleton- thanked the ladies of the Auxiliary. Russell Zurbrigg, superintendent, chaired the business portion of the meeting when favorable reports were heard. Lovell McGuire thank- ed Mr. Zurbrigg for the time and effort he had put into his work as superintendent, and on the effici- ency with which he had carried out his duties. Mr. and Mrs: Robert- Southcott, of Exeter, were guests, and Mr. Southcott was the speaker. He is one of the publishers of The Ex- eter Times-Advocate. Mr. -Southcott pointed out that all businessmen take time out at the beginning of the year to take stock of their businesses and sug- gested that as Sunday School teachers it would be a good time for each to assess their work as leaders of children in the Christian faith and to take stock of them- selves. 'To do this every person must be fair with himself. To work 'on Christ's team one must show a good example every day regardless of one's occupation in life, nurse, doctor, farmer, or housewife. A Christian must -be, sure that he is doing his work the way Christ would have it done. Mr. Southcott told of his ex- periences at a course for officers and teachers at Alma College, El- gin House and the General Cottncil of the United. Church. He also de- scribed a week-end at Five Oaks, Paris, when fourteen teachers and officers frOm Exeter attended. • The officers elected. were: Hon. -suet., F.R.

The minutes of the December meeting and January executive meeting were rend by the secretary and the roll call was answered by paying fees. The president urged all to attend the Women's World Day of Prayer service On February 17. The offering• was taken and of- fertory prayer given, "Standing at the Portal"- was sung in unison. • Mrs. Thomas Henderson intro- duced the new study book, "Into All the World Together," This, theme expresses the nature of the ecumenical spirit— the belief that the Gospel is for all men every- where. and that all Christians are a part of the mission. and are join- ed in the - unity of the believing heart. The word "ecumenical" is properly used to describe every- thing that relates to the whole task of the whole church to bring the Gospel to the whole world. Mrs. Jack Day, Mrs. Jack Lloyd and Mrs. Betty Faegan presented the topic in three parts.' 1--The. Nature of the Gospel Calls for Mis_ sion. The idea of "mission" is not new. We find the idea of being called to 'mission very strongly in the Old Testament in the Book of Jonah. There Israel. as God's peo- ple is called to mission. In the New Testament the., new .Israel; the peoPleof: Gocl afro. 6aii€A, the very beginning of ..he.:154Spe..f the ortnissien exPrASed a messenger was to go before to "Prepare the way of the Lord." The "mission" of John the 'Baptist was to announce the coating of One-mightier than himself.. Christ called for active discipleship while here on earth. Paul calls himself a servant commissioned by Divine Authority to he an apostle of Jesus Christ, 2- -The Nature of the Church Calls for Mission. The ,church must sieze upon every opportunity to proclaim Christ. God created all of one blood and has every right to expect His children to make known to each :other the Father's love. • 3.-The Nature of Discipleship „Calls for Mission, Every Christian person is a missionary on his own doorstep and in his own life, There is a, heed for Christians to live their lives in accordance with the Gospel they profess to believe, that their daily lives may be living testimonies to their faith. During the course of the topic a Bible study and Bible reading period was held, The Scripture lesson of the evening was given by Mrs. Jack Day. The concluding hymn was "Lord Speak to Me" . and Mrs. Betty Feagan closed the meeting with prayer, A social time followed when J. H. Crawford kindly Show- ed some very interesting slides of his trip to Europe and the British Isles, Pteelous plants may be safely left 1,vhile you are away on holiday.

United Church Sunday School Holds Annual MINOR HOCKEY ,WEEK "CALLED TO MISSION" IS WORTH TOPIC The Goforth Evening Auxiliary met on Tuesday evening at St. Andrew's Church with 45 members present. Mrs, Leonard Phillips opened with the call to worship and the group joined in singing "Take My Life", Mrs, Jack Lloyd led in prayer. The Auxiliary has added a new feature to its 1961 programs with the inception of a study call- ed "Profiles of the Women of the New Testament," By this study the group hopes to become more fami- liar with some of the leading wo- men of the Bible, Rev, C.

Mary stands apart from all other women in history and upon her was be- stowed the greatest honor of all tinie when she was chosen to be the mother of the' Saviour of the world, Her complete surrender to the will of God following the an- nouncement that Jesus was to he her Son was shown in her reply "Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to Thy Word". • For the 'past several weeks the Wingham General Hospital has been filled far beyond its proper capacity, In fact, there has hardly been. any time since the new wing was added five years ago when the hospital was populated only by the 97 patients for which it was bnitt and equipped. However, last week when 140 patients were in care every bed, every. cot and every couch was in use. The inherent danger in this situa- tion is not only that the building, its staff and facilities are badly over- crowded, but if any sort of local disaster occurred, such as a fire OT a traffic accident involving even two or three critically injured, the lack of bed space at the hospital could well be catastrophic. The board of directors of the hospital is well aware of the need for more bed space, but so far there seems to be no solution to the prob- lem of financing. With grants to- talling only $4,000 per bed and -costs likely to run as high as $10,000 no one knows just how the difference is to be met. A group of hospital representatives from all the institu- tions in the county met the county council with the suggestiOn that. -fi- nancing of the differential at the county level would be the fairest method of supplying the urgently- needed hospital accommodation. However, the county has voted to set aside about $50,000 annually. Though this amount is greatly ap- preciated, it will he many Fears be- fore enough money has been accu- mulated to meet the needs of all the WE NEED IT HERE Port Elgin town council passed a by-law at its January meeting which makes good sense. Incorporated in- to a•,by-law dealing with the dis- charge of firearms within the town the new regulation prohibits the sale of firecrackers or -fireworks of any description, except to a duly .rec- ognized society ,. service club or group of adult citizens, for the ex- press purpose of providing a spec- tacle or displayafter obtaining per- mission from the chief of 'police of the town. ''This piece of legislation is one which we feel should be passed in every community Because firecrackers have been in. use for so many years people are in- clined to scoff at the suggestion that theY are actually dangerous. When the skeptics assume this attitude they are. ignoring the facts, for every spring the daily news is • sprinkled with stories of youngsters seriously injured by fireworks. The loss in buildings destroyed and property damaged in fires from the same cause runs annually into millions '01 dollars. Most of the fathers Who have had something to do with setting off fireworks with their youngsters know how excitement and youth- ful ignorance invariably endangers smaller boys and girls. The kids who are most interested in firecrack- rs are simply not old enough to be trusted with matches and explosives. Tortunately a large percentage of the danger, has been obviated in. Wingham for in Pleasant Valley, Ifillcrest and several other neighbor- hoods the adults organize and look after the display of .fireworks. Nev- ertheless there are still dozens of irresponsible kids popping off their private arsenals in every corner of the town. One addition might be made to the by-law here. It should include prohibition of the discharge of fire- works by unauthorized persons as well as their purchase.

The alternative suggested by the Ontario Hospital Services .Commis-., sion is to open a fund-raising cam- paign in our own district, How- ever, the people of Wingham and the surrounding - townships have contributed generously to building campaigns of major dimensions twice in the past 13 years. The re- sponse to a third effort of this kind might well be meagre. In the meantime we have good reason to be seriously concerned, when our hospital is so crowded that fire safety standards cannot be main- tained and there is no longer a bed available for an emergency. The hospital authorities have asked that friends and relatives cur- tail their visits to the patients, so that crowded conditions in the halls and wards may be held to a min.• imum, and also to control, in some degree, the chalice of outside infec- tions being brought into the insti- tution. Your full co-operation will be very helpful. TAKE HIM — DON'T SEND HIM This is Minor Hockey Week in Canada, seven days set aside for the emphasis of the role of the national game in the lives of its young hope- fuls. Its clumsy, but well-meant slogan is "Take—don't send—your boy to the arena". The people we would like to, salute in connection with Minor Hockey Week are the adults who unselfishly spend a large part of their free time every winter teaching the boys the fine points of the game. It is a time-consuming- job, and there are quite a few men in every com- munity who deserve credit for their willingness to help the youngsters along. Very frankly, though its impor- tant to the kids to play on a winning team, we have been much more solidly behind minor hockey since the .;;,'aturday morning g town-wide league was organized. Champion- ship teams are all fine, but it is just as important to teach the boys how to lose cheerfully as if is to have them leitrn the ..fine art of winning humbly. Though hockey has lost some of its audience since the advent of tele Vision, there seems to be every hood that the game will continue to be popular in Canada for many more generations. It is the org,ranized effort to train the younger boys which will provide the first-lino teams of the future. a WHAT'S THE NEED? A recent news item 'in the daily press indicated that there is a move on foot at the present time to license. the barbers in Huron County. Per- haps we lack `vitalinformation, but we fail to see any need for such a I ove. It is obvious that such profes- sionals as doctors and dentists must submit to examinations set by government regulation before they can practice, for incompetence could spell serious harm to those Who. might be unaware of a doctor's pro- fessional status. But just• exactly what risk can possibly be run by the man who suffers _from the attentions of an incompetent barber.? At worst he could leave the chair looking a little moth-eaten, and-he wouldn't be likely to make the same mistake twice. Licenses to carry on a trade are something to be avoided wherever possible. They simply provide a 'means of curtdiling access to a trade. It may work out well for the tradesmen who are already in busi- ness, but the mere fact that a license will be needed by a newcomer, makes it quite possible -to eliminate extra .competition whenever it is deemed. necessary, Every time we permit a licensing system of this kind to be set up, an- other shaving is sliced away from the basic freedom of Choice which is the foundation ofourtlIritish North American society.
