You can't pick up a, paper or a magazine without the word "fallout', hitting you like a big black bludgeon. After years of virtual indifference to the threat of nuclear war, sod- denly the whole of North America has gone, hog-wild for shelters, is avidly devouring every bit of gar- bage published about radioactivity, and is hotly arguing such questions as whether or not there'll be. 75 per cent or 85 per cent of our pop- ulation wiped out in a missile at- tack. had noticed the rapid build-up of panic in our publications, but hadn't paid too much attention to it. One becomes a bit cynical about. the constant state of apoplexy of, our daily press. This week, however, my kids at school were delivering. their an- nual oral compositions—those who didn't have enough ;nerve in skin School that day. Do" you know what their favorite topic wee? Fallout; shelters! This was too much. When cute little girls of 16, who should he diss cussing such subjects as dances and hair-dos; stand up there in front of the class and Say, " Mr. Smiley; fellow students, the topic T have chosen to speak on today is What Will You Do When the Bomb Falls?", it's time somebody called a halt to the hysteria. That's bad enough, hut these panic purveyors have even got my wife interested. That's what wor. ries me. Things must be serious. For years I've been trying to get her interested, in world affairs. Some of these attempts have al- most driven one straight up the wall, across the ceiling and down the other side. "Do you realize we're facing total, annihilation?" T would ask her. "Yes," she would answer, "but when are you going to stop smok- ing so much?" She never knew the president of Ghana from the in'esident of the local Rotary Club. Her idea of a big international crisis was when. Princess Margaret/ -married Tbny or when Liz Taylor bagged a new husband. Now, she's talking fallout shelter. Not that she's changed her mind about what's important in the world. She still thinks nuclear fis- sion is something vaguely uneom- fortable, like trout fishin', only more so. She is firmly convinced that war is a lot,of ridiculous non- sense, indulged in by men every so often to bolster their egos. NO, she hasn't become interna- tionally minded, It's just that she doeia't like to be out of style, and these days fallout is fashion, She stilt thinks radiation is something to do with where you put water :n a ear, hot she's not going to miss the show. 0 - 0 - Big worry at the -moment is where we are going to put the piano, in the shelter. She doesn't want it to get damp. Affects the tone, She's also a. little troubled about the exact shade of the drapes. There won't be any win- dows in the thing, of course, but lack of windows never stopped a woman from fretting over curtains The kids are getting organized, the. They're quite practical about, the whole thing. Told they might bring their most cherished pee- eesioes, Rim voted for Pipers the eat, and Hugh for Playboy, the PuP.'t agreed, as we might have to eat them, There won't be room for much food, You see, my wife needs her sew- ing Machine, her steam iron, her hair dryer, and of course, the vacu- um cleaner to keep the place tidy. She insists we put in the hi-fi, so We can rot to Rachitteninoff. We're not going to eat like pigs, she claims, so the dining room table Must go In, And she doesn't want any ditty-booted teecue, workers tromping around on her good rug, so that has to 'go inside. Along with • I all the good china, silver and glass.' I Ware, We're not going to try to get the car inside, because it's insured. But he hanged if I leave the lawnmower, out. It's a second-hand power mower I bought this fall for $20, and never was able to .get the motor started, so I'M not going to just let that go up in smoke without getting some use out of it. Him isn't any trouble. Except that she says she won't go into the thing unless we take the television set. Hugh is bound his bike is not going to be left out iii. all that radioactive dust, though it doesn't seem to bother him that it's been silting out in the snow for the past two weeks. It's taken a let of planning, but f think I've found the solution, It will be a lot cheaper to hire a fleet of bulldozers to cover our house .with earth, than it will he to build a shelter big enough to hold e very- thing my family insists is essential to survival. Sewage Plan (Continued from page One) • Second Stage The second stage of the program calls for two trunk mains. Both would obviate the need for exist- ling small pumping stations with lone providing service to areas now ,served by septic tanks. The first would be a trunk line "from the proposed main pumping station described above, north- westerly along the river to Leopold 'Street, then west on Victoria St. ',to the oh,' CPR 'right-of-way, then along the river bank in the north easterly direction to Wilfred Street in the "Berry !Patch", terminating at the intersection of ;Wilfred and Shuter Streets.. This line Would serve housing in the Berry Patch and any further expansion that may take place in that corner of the town. As well, it would' then be quite possible to abanchin small, pumping station west of Min- nie Street near the P.U.C. trans- former station. Sewage is being pumped at present trom this point to the Josephine Street sewer and causing some of the overload prob- lem. The second trunk sewer in the second stage would start at the primping station at the Corner of Carling Terrace and Diagonal Rd., and proceed to the new pumping station at the south of the housing on. Diagonal Rd., some of which is not serviced by sewers at the pre. sent time, The new trunk woule then overcoine the need for the pump and force main at Carling Terrace as the new line would have a gravity flow to the new main pumping station. Report ' In his report Mr. Ross stated that a very detailed examination of the existing system had been made and he had found that the Josephine and Victoria Street sewers were overloaded in two locations. The report stated that the possibility of using the existing sedimentation tanks was considered, but it was found that in the light of present- day requIrements for sewage treat- ment and the efficiency necessary to achieve the required results as laid down by- the: Ontario Water Resources Corinniseion, that the old tanks would not be suitable. Two types of disposal had been studied, with a mechanical systein estimated to be Over $50,000.00 high- er in cost than the oxidation ponds recommended. As well, the mech- anical type would cost some $10,000 More annually to operate than the oxidation ponds. Mr. Boss's report also stated that an exanniklatioa of the Ontario Wa- ter Reimirces report had been Made, but a suggestion in this lat- ter report relative to• the site of an oxidation pond did not seem suitable When surveyed due to flooding conditions in the river valley. The report also said that it win- ed logical that the cost of the two stages should be borne by the whole town, but service mains in the newly developing areas should be considered as local improve molts. The latter are chargeable to. the ratepayers involved. The report itself is eminently clear and concise and leaves little doubt that something will have to he (loins shortly. Connell :Recommends The council reviewed all the prob- lems Inherent in the report and decided to pass a resolution that the 1.962 coupcil proceed to imple- ment the complete two-stage Pro- gram as early as possible, It was pointed out that a suhatly which, amounts to approximately 16 to 17 per cent of the total cost provided through the Central. Mort- gage and Housing Corporation would not he available after March 1, Mr. Ross stated that it. the go- ahead could be given by mid-Feb- ruary, it would he poissible to corns plete the program in time to he eligible for this grant. Financing The report, as previously men- tioned, also contained estimates of cost for the two stages. However, only the first stage was broken down into annual charges. In this ca-se the $200,400 estimate, covering' the changes to the mains, the pumping station and force main, the oxidation pond and the ejector station and force main for the Henderson subdivision, along with operating cost, was broken down over a 20-year period, The annual charges to carry this stage amount- ed to $23,093. The report points out that under existing legislation Central Mort- gage and Housing would loan the Corporation of Wingham two thirds of the total cost ($133,600.00) of which a grant of 25 per cent would he made, which would amount to $33,400,00. This would leave some $66,500.00 to he raised by munici- pal. debenture. Interest to C.M. & H,C. and on debentures as well as a reserve for rehabilitation and re- placement of one per cent are also included in the estimated costs. Planned Board James. Gurney, a member of the Wingham-Turnberry Planning Br., was also at the meeting, The Plan- ning Board had been requested to look into the matter for council and had done the initial. groundwork required in having the consulting engineer engaged survey the sewage problem... Bishop Cody- (Continued from page One) done. He expressed his ap,precia- tion for the sacrifice that had been made for a school which he claimed, would be a monument to the faith of the, parishioners and their loyal- ty to the church's teachings. , Bishop Speaks In his address Bishop Cody out- lined some of the history of secu- lar schools, and said that Ontario was a banner province, in that many other areas look to Ontario for the way which the problem of education has been handled, In Quebec, he said, the schools are predominantly Catholic, but al- lowance has- been made for the minority, and the same holds true in Ontario where the population is largely Protestant. Excellent laws have allowed separate schools to prosper. He went on to demon- strate how various systems of edu- eation worked in other lands. He said that the separate school group should thank the public school system for the service that has been rendered, "We owe them a debt of gratitude," the bishop said, "and we have much in com- mon, as we are all citizens of the same country." He went on to suggest that it is the duty of every citizen to Consid- er everyone else, and not just his own group. He said, "If I were only interested in the minority Cas tholie group, then I would be a poor citizen." The same plan, he felt, would held true for Other de- nominations as Well. He pointed out to the audience the great ass sistance that separate schools have received front other educational systems and from other church de- nominations. Re said that be understood there had been excellent cooperation be- tween the public sehocl systole in 'Wingham arid the newly-formed separate school board, and he claimed that this was Certainly a test of good eitikenahip. This same type of co-operation has been Mit- ts/ across the province, Other members- of the clergy ate tending the opening teremonieS were Very Rev, (Dean) P. Harri- gan of at. Marys; Rev. C.

Special Prices One of the community's. oldest and most valuable organization is in dire need of more interest and sup- port. Vor more than 50 years the Ladies' Auxiliary to, the Wit-wham General Hospital has been steadily providing support and assistance for the local hospital—to such a degree that in the early years of its exist- ence the hospital might well have been closed had it not been for the dedicated loyalty and endless hours of work provided by the ladies of the Auxiliary. With the passing years, as more government aid was provided for small hospitals, the need for the ser- vices of the ladies did not, in actual fat; t, diminish,. for the hospital's re quirements s t ea d i l y increased. Through all these years hundreds of faithful workers have spent all the time they could spare to cut and sew the hospital's linens have raised funds through the rummage sales and other activities. Though there are still many wo- men who work willingly for the Aux iliary, attendance at the meetings has decreased to the point where -it is be- coming increasingly difficult to -find. persons who will serve as officers. Those who do attend faithfully feel that perhaps many women in the community believe that serving the Auxiliary means giving up most of their leisure time. This, however, is far. from the case. And with every additional member the load becomes lighter for the individual. It should be pointed out, too, that membership in the hospital Aux- iliary is by no means restricted to the town of Wingham. 1.a.clies from the nearby rural areas would be welcom - ed as members—and it must be re- -membered that only a small propor- tion of the hospital patients are \\Ingham folks. The services of the hospital are available to the, entire WELCOME TO THE NEW MAYOR -..untii last Friday evening there .was a serious concern in the minds of all thoughtful citizens of the com- munity about who might be persuad- ed to act as the mayor of \\Ingham. It was, therefore, with definite relief that those who attended the nomina- tion meeting heard R. S. "Bob" Hetherington agree to fill the post. The new•mayor is not only a man of known and trusted ability, but h.e has experience in the municipal field as well. lie served for five years as reeve of this community, and though the pt'oblems have changed some- what since his years on council, there is no question about his ability to meet them with intelligence and de . .vision. In addition, of course, he will 'benefit from the guidance of several experienced councillors. The major problem facing the town this year will be the action ne- cessary to implement the sewage dis- poSal program. A great deal of money is involved and it is the par- ticular type of project where the legal background of the new mayor will he most valuable. None of us would like to experience the trials and tribulations which arose in Lis- towel during a similar project. The mayor's office requires a good deal of time and sacrifice on the part of the man who fills it. We are indeed grateful that Mr. Heth- erington has declared himself willing to serve our town.

There is an erroneous belief in saute quarters that the Wingham hospital no longer needs assistance at the local level, We have often heard the statement that the hospital is now government operated. An- other mistaken belief is that the hos- pital is showing a big profit and can well pay for all its requirements. Nothing could be farther front the truth than either of these rumors, Under the Ontario Hospital Ser- vices plan the hospital here, like all others in the province, is operated on a break-even basis. Some months there is a small book profit. and in an equal number of instances there is .a small offsetting- loss, At the end of the year adjustment is made throttgh Of SC to make sure that there is neither profit nor loss on the operat- ing accounts. It is true that the hospital is al- lowed to charge a depredation figure, but this is such a slim per- centage that it does not permit *the purchase of new equipment at any- thing like the rate required. This, of course, is why the Auxiliary is still so important. Without its assistance the hospital and its patients would simply have to get along without many of the appliances and machines which have added so much to the comfort and efficiency. The Auxil- iary has, within recent months, pro- vided an ice machine, new toasters and an infant incubator, to mention only some of the items. The nursing staff raised the money .for the pur- chase of the new blood bank refrig- erator. To every woman in this town and district who can spare an hour or two a month, we appeal on behalf of the Hospital Auxiliary, Your help can mean a great deal to the hospital in which all of us have such' a vital interest. The Auxiliary meets at the council chambers this Friday after- noon. You will find a notice on the front page of this issue of The Ad- vance-Times, giving the -time. How about making a definite decision to attend the meeting- and offer your help? -WHAT DOES IT PROVE? Tocsin B, a test of civil defence measures held recently,. may have proved something, but what that was is still a question. The imaginary nuclear attack was considered to have wiped out several major cities, so apparently the Canadian military defences, upon which the country has spent and is Continuing to spend so much of the taxpayers' money are virtually useless. Among the imaginary casualties in Ottawa was the prime minster, who remained in his private shelter in the capital, while others of his cab- inet took refuge in their community hideout in Petawawa. This may prove that shelters are not to be re- lied upon in a city attacked by nu- clear weapons, but the official civil defence policy still seems to be to encourage citizens to build them, it is interesting to note in this regard that the first imaginary bomb strike in the exercise, as far as West - ern Ontario was concerned, was at Kinloss. Apparently it was a near- miss in a shot at the nuclear power station at Douglas Point . but by the same token it was a much nearer miss for the people of Wingham. Tn fact if the bomb had been a real one we wouldn't have had anything more to worry about in this neck of the woods. Opinion among intelligent people is still sharply divided as to the mer- its of fallout shelters. There are lots of folks who simply shrug off the whole idea as being either totally un- necessary or totally inadequate, TOCHARD Egg Cream SHAMPOO, reg.
