I mean those adults who have neves' taken flight from an airport. I 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. Flying, I am convinced is an Ideal forum of transportation for any one in- a hurry, Undoubtedly it Is here to stay, So, I fool comfort. ed to know, is travel by train, My first flip provided amusement for the pilot and my flying corn.. pinions, Stan Whitaker, PR mann. ger for Manitoba Hydro and Ben Metcalfe, editor of Construction World. I had determined not to 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- est, most compact airplane I had ever seen, I signed in and met our pilot, Ed Jensen, who was to see that we got safely to Grand Rapids and back 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- self beside our host in the rear seat. "Now," I thought, "if you run like a fawn you can )Hake it to the gate and hail a taxi bc•fore MECO Fast healing for CUTS, BURNS, BOILS, IN FECTIONS Soothing Antiseptic Buy Mecca In fin or tube O,„.r a"' MEC a%°oi HEALING ANTISEPTIC n.ew .+-n.111••••,..11.r,..0n411eo4•••• I 1.0,1 ..ei.,..1.1•,.*0*PM,0,m,-i,..�.ue.,.u.c—so•2115a :IT.11- nR+souwuw1411... 114•M•nw.u..10•.,.,..u0E.u..wuwawn MATO ier s New Fall Fn. , ■ ■ g a and Accessories HATS in MAR.II OU - VELVETS - VELOUR $5,95 - 11.95 I1\11i IKAYSER GLOVES KAYSER SCAM KAYSER NYLONS 1.98 1.59 1.19 its CAMEL, APPLE SEED, BITTER CHOCOLATE, 'BLACK by.

Murchison, read the poem "Obedience" and offer- ed prayer, Mrs. John McKague read the Scripture lesson and Miss Kathleen Pringle presented a devotional message, "God's Call; God's Mis.. sion; Set Apart; Sent Out". A letter from a, city church, ask. i,ng for suggestions as to how that church's work might be carried on under the present very difficult conditions, was read by Miss Chris. tine Isbister. An interesting dis- cussion. followed, In which helpful suggestions were offered by sev- eral members. • Prayers were offered by Mrs. W. T. -Lapp and Mrs. H. V. Pym. A brief service in memory of Miss Mabel Walsh was conducted by the president. Arrangements for the fall thankoffering meeting were made, and Mrs. James Smith closed the meeting with prayer. 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. I Learn to "Give" By the time we buzzed Grand � Rapidswasusedtot eb<.nkin h g 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.

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, Marguerite Burrell 0-0-0 Wingham, Ontario, September 8, 1962. 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 and Mrs. Alex Edgar attended the Wroxeter United Church service on Sunday and visited with Mr and Mrs, William Wright. Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Strong vis ited Mr. and Mrs. George -Gal. braith in Wroxeter on Sunday and attended anniversary services in the iTnited Church. Mr, and Mrs, James May and sons of Toronto spent the week -end with Mrs, Olive May. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Isaacs, John and Robert of Dayton, Ohio, spent a eoriple of days at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Raymond Gowdy. Mr, and Mrs. Wilford King vis- ited on Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Victor Sherri of Moorefield. Mrs, James Dnig, Wroxeter, and Mrs, flarry Gowdy spent a few days in 'Toronto. Mr, Ldwerd Gilmer, who has re- turned from a motortripthrough the Western provinces and the Yu- kon, visited his sister, Mrs, Luella Sanderson on Friday. Miss Nadine Cooke, Kitchener, spent the week -end with Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Cooke. Among those attending the Wes- tern 1"air, London, on Saturday were Clifton Coalter, Gladys Coul- ter, Judy Icing, Lamont Griffith, and Ronald Bennett. Recent visitor's at the home of Mr, and Mrs. i.dgat' Dane were Rev, and Mrs, W. J. Taylor, Dor- chester. Mrs. Melvin Taylor and Muriel Taylor of Belgrnve and Miss Lynne Edgar of St, Thomas. Mr, arid Mrs, Alex Speers and family of Elmira visited Sunday with Mrs. May Jackson. lounges with meals and in the lounge until 1 a.m. I don't know what industry has. been prevented from earning here due to the lack of a second hotel but I do know that the cost of al.• eohol to industry In terms of lost time and poor workmanship is many millions in Canada. There. fore the industries we have would suffer. Of course, "all citizens want their town to progress" and so do I so I'm going to vote no to further liquor outlets. After working for the progress in body and mind of the children of Wingham for 19 years, there's no other choice, One of my own children could be the first killed by a driver who had been drinking In a lounge. I certainly hope that all good citizens will "Help WIngham Pros. per" and Vote No, Yours truly Audrey I. Tiffin, 0-0-0 Bluevale, Ont., Sept, 10, 1962 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. Alice.. Aitken 0-0-0 Wingham, Ont„ Sept. 8, 1962 Editor, Advance -Threes, Wingham, Ontario. 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. lets. We can't afford to pat fur. they temptation in the paths of our young people.

No one likes to leave a crucial cooking job to answer the phone, unless, of coursethe phone is right there in the kitchen. With a handy col- ourful extent- sion you eisa make and take calls while you watch the y ou:atster s underfoot and that "labor of love" simmering on tiro back burner. The bedroom too is an ideal spot for a handy extension. It Will save you a lot of running to the phone downstairs anc1 provide a feel- ing of security at night, specially .if you are ever alone.

Jane will enter a general arts course after successfully completing her Grade XIII at the Wingham District High School. 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. d LEISURE DAYS As this will be my last Bell Lines column prior to my retire- ment from the Company on September 14, 1962, may I take -this opportunity of personally thanking our many subscribers in the Wingham exchange for their continued support during the past eighteen years while 1 have been Manager of the Stratford territory.
