used to be ashamed to .confess I
had not been higher than a ferris
wheel above ground. 'Those un-
happy days are a thing of the past.
I've had my first journey by alr,
and though I get a quiver up my
spine when I remember the earth's
huge relief map, my dedication to
travel by train has not wavered.

let the seasoned flyers know I was
a neophyte,
The day was murky when I ar-
rived at Mid -West Airways, Win-
nipeg, at an early hour. There
were two planes on the runway,
a huge silver monster with a wing
span as wide as the depth of our
town lot, I felt safe looking at it
Next to it was the smallest, neat-

ever seen,
I signed in and met our pilot, Ed
Jensen, who was to see that we got

I could hear Old Silver out there
revving up, Far from dreading
the take off as I had expected, I
seemed to be relishing the taste of
my heart's blood and the palsy
that was knocking the teeth right
out of my gums.
The men were all calm, I forced
a laugh at their early morning
humors, smiled as though I was
Marie Antoinette on the way to
the guillotine and acted, I was
convinced, like an old pro at this
flying game.
I Sit up Front
As I walked toward the silver
monster the nice young pilot took
my arm and guided me toward the
rich man's plaything sitting in a
puddle of freshly fallen rain. "I am
sure Mrs, Barker would like to sit
up front with you, pilot," I heard
Mr. Whittaker say. Next Ben Met-
calfe stepped on the wing with a
sprightly bounce and settled him-

the pilot realizes you are gone."
Instead I fitted my 118 pounds
into the bucket seat, fastened my
seat belt and didn't evenbreathe
as the pilot pushed the starter of
the shining Piper Aztec. The two
propellers began to "burr, burl"
and we started to taxi to take -off
position,
I don't suppose anyone can ever
recapture that first thrill of leav-
ing the earth behind and realizing
that nothing but God and two
engines are keepig you aloft. Mr.
Whittaker said, "There's your CN
railroad over there," and the pilot
banked the plane so that I could
seethe small train, lookingfor all
the world like so many •peanuts
strung on a string.
This bank gave me away, I didn't
throw my arms around the pilot's
neck; I just threw my body .in the
opposite direction to the plane's
tipping wing. The men all laugh-
ed as I admitted I had never been
2,000 feet in the air before.
We were headed into a storm
and because of my confession, Ed
was all solicitude. He warned me
it would be humpy until he could
climb above the clouds. Once there
I forgot all about my natural fear.
We cruised at 175 miles per hour
on a. mother-of-pearl carpet, or
hitched a ride on one fleecy cloud
after another until we broke out
into the bluest heaven I have ever
seen.

and had absorbed the pilot's in-
struction to "give with the plane".
I am sure I would have been
happy to stay up there forever, but
there was a jol, to do and a lot
to learn at this great power pro-
ject below us. When we settled
quietly and without even a bump
on the limestone runway the pilot
lifted me out of the cockpit.
"Throw your arm around that pro.
pellet, Mrs.. Barker, it's your first
flight and the first trip for the
plane," said young Jensen, obvious-
ly proud of the conduct of both.

Citizens Voice opinions on
Dining and Cocktail Lounges
Wingham, Ont.,
Sept, 10, 1062
Wingham Advance -Times,
Dear Editor:
I submit, that the words, "Re.
member you ora .voting for hotels
only," In an advertisement in your
recent issue are untrue and, In
my opinion, are a deliberate at-
tempt to fool the public. According
to the Act, we are voting to give
the Liquor Control Commission full
authority to grant licenses for "the
sale of liquor, spirits, wine and beer
by the glass.
1 In all established places, re-
gularly serving meals (which could
ousist of a sandwich, not neces-
sarily eaten.) and
2 in cocktail lounges."
This authority will continue un-
til voted out by a 60 per cent vote,
Also, I believe it Is now a law
In Ontario that all licensed hotels
or establishments can serve liquor
in the bedrooms by the glass.
We all want our town to progress
and good accommodation and good
food are assets but granting a
liquor license will not necessarily
insure either. As I see it, our vote
is not for or against local people
out against the salsas promotion
program of the manufacturers of
•til liquor. They realize increased
outlets mean increased sales and
profits for them. They are not
concerned about the food, clothing,
shelter, education, trips, luxuries
and provision for emergencies
which we wish to give our loved
ones. No matter how carefully
they try to keep minors from buy-
ing, they can't detect them all. Our
own son was six feet tall at age
twelve. Certainly at eighteen he
could easily have passed for legal
age.
One need only look at the pub-
lic school playground to see many
tall lads who will also seem older
than they are. I urge you all to
vote NO for our children's and our
grandchildren's ,protection,

Dear Editor:
Since no persons or committee
accepted the responsibility for the
ad which appeared in The Ad-
vance -:Gimes last week, asking us
to "vole for a hotel", I wish to
refute the statements In it publicly.
On the ballots as printed we are
not voting yes or no for a hotel;
we are voting yes or no to the
serving of liquor in lounges,
The Town. of Wingham has been
given an ultimatum by the finan-
cial interests proposing to build a
hotel that if we do not allow
liquor they won't build, They are
trying to put us over a beer bar-
rel and roll us! I don't like that
position --or the smell!
The ad said that "the general
prosperous appearance of the town
is important". It certainly is to all
of us ---and has been for the past
four years while the burned out
hotel marred the main street. In
that time three new restaurants
have been added to our main
street, a motel has been built on
one approach to town and a drive-
in restaurant on another; all with
the business men's own capital and
risk.
A contraversial point seems to be
whether or not any of these restau
rants may be licensed if we vote
yes• The Liquor License Act state:
that an establishment which con-
forms to the regulations may apply
for these two types of license. Wt
are not "voting for hotels only" as
the ad states.
According to the new Roberts
amendments hotels are now per-
mitted to serve drinks in their
rooms ---as well as in the dialing

Advance -Times, Wingham,
Dear Sir:
Residents of Wingham are not
the only people who are concerned
about the coming vote on Sept. 19.
Those living in the district for
miles around are discussing it,
feeling that it affects them.
The history of liquor outlets
dates back to the open bar when
many hotels, in former times call.
ed taverns, were in business in all
the towns and smaller communi-
ties, from pioneer days. In 1913,
after years of effort, the campaign
against bar rooms was successful
in Turnberry Township and the
Local Option vote provided that
no liquor could he lawfully sold in
this district. Within a year the
Bluevale Hotel and the Belmore
Hotel went up in flames and were
never rebuilt. So the Brunswick
Hotel is the third one to meet this
fate. Gradually Huron County
became a "dry" area.
Our communities have been de-
scribed as "dry" until recently—
not that they were completely dry.
If the attitude toward liquor out-
lets is changing, the dangers from
the consumption of alcohol have
not lessened, rather have increased,
owing to increasing tensions in our
everyday living and the potential
danger from the motor car.
If another outlet is voted for
Wingham, how can we expect the
drinker to obey the warning, "If
you drink, don't drive," when most
customers will come to the hotel
in cars. Even a small amount of
beverage alcohol is dangerous, ac-
cording to police records.
Already we have in Wingham
one hotel, a motel, a. tourist home
and five restaurants. Some of
these have been in operation for
years. A. new hotel with a, liquor
license will affect these ad-
versely.
In an age of conformity our
young people are faced with dif-
ficult decisions. It becomes hard-
er for them to make a stand
against drinking. They should
have every sympathy and help
from those who know the dangers
and can speak out for what they
feel to be safe and right. Giving
them increased opportunities for
drinking is a backward step.
If no alcohol were used, except
for industrial and medicinal pur-
poses, in what way would we be
poorer? It is expensive, unneces-
sary, provides no food for mind or
body, often causes suffering and
crime and gives only a fleeting
pleasure,
There may be complexities in
this situation which we cannot
realize. The leaders in the Com-
mittees advocating a "yes" vote
and those who advocate "no" might
be well to sign their names to
their proclamations, I am sign-
ing mine.

Editor, Advance -Threes,

Dear Sir:
Last week an advertisement
appeared in your paper out-
lining the advantages of a good
hotel in our town. The last lines
rea.d as follows:
"On Sept. 19 vote for a hotel.
Help Wingham prosper."
The Implication is that the is-
sue -Is whether or not we get an ho-
tel. One could have been, and still
can be, built on the property with-
out necessitating n. vote. The is-
sue is the granting of licenses for
the consumption of aleoholiic bev-
erage Y int a dining room and/or
unektail bar.
As an employer I have had
some unfortunate experiences with
employees whose ability was tin -
paired by liquor, There have been
times when absenteeism compelled
closing of the mill, machinery has
been damaged, and loss in produc.
tion was considerable. Our truck
insurance becomes void if it can
be proven that the driver's ability
was impaired by alcohol when in-
volved in an accident. Does in-
dustry really want more liquor
available?
Wingham already has liquor out.

KEEP IN TOUCH
September is schooltime, and a lot of young people will be
leaving home for college or boarding school. Here's one good
way to keep in touch with them—by telephone. Lots of folks
set a regular time for calling and keeping up on the news. And,
more often than not this time is on a Sunday or after 6:00 p.m.j
when station -to -station rates are lower. Remember too that;
after 9 p.m. any evening you get double value on station -to -
station long distance calls of 10 minutes or more within Ontario'
and Quebec under. our Night Economy Plan. So be sure to call
often. The pleasure is big and the cost is small --a lot smaller
than you think—when you keep in touch by telephone.
