fruit and vegetables decorated the
communion table and overflowed
to tite windows in the Wingliurri
United Church on Sunday for the

and 7.30 :p.m. The open Bible in
front of the cross symbolized the
central point of the service
Rev, C. M. Jardine's sermon,
"How Much Are You Thankful?"
was based on the story of the
cleansing of the ten lepers as told
by Luke and on the verses in Col-
ossians 3:12.17, which tell how to
express thanks. If we are truly
thankful our gratitude will be ex-
pressed in many ways. The evening
sermon expanded this theme to
"In Everything. Give Thanks."
H. C. Treneer arranged the
special music for the senior choir,
assisted by the intermediate choir
seated in the gallery, Mrs, W. Cal-
lan's rendition of "Spirit of God"
touched thankful chords and the

been submitted by Wilfred White

tors had utilized the lowest bids
from sub -contractors in their esti-
mates, including that fur plumb-
ing from Percy Clark, wiring by
Burke Electric and heating by
Howard Fuller, all Wingham firms.
The Commission had later call-
ed in Ma White, and by retaining
everything possible from the plans,
a final figure of $45,545.00 had been
arrived at.
Long Discussion
This presentation resulted in a
two-hour argument over the prob-

Willams and Len Crawford fight-
ing •to get the go-ahead over ob-
jections from other members of
council that the cost was too high.
As a matter of interest it should
be noted that the Arena Commis-

Twin Sister Is
Mother of Twins
Mr. and Mrs. Bill Johnston, of
Celina, became the proud parents
of twin daughters on Tuesday
morning, Mrs. Johnston is a twin
sister of Mrs, Allah Haferrnehl, of
town,and has visited here on sev-
eral occasions. There are three
other children In the family, The
little girls were born en Brenda
'aferrnehl's twelfth birthday,
then being instructed to have the
working plans drawn, and call .for
tenders. In the meantime the esti
mate cost of $41,000.00 was receiv-
ed and council applied to the Muni-
cipal Board for permission to issue
debentures up to $45,000.00 for the
project.
It was really a case of second
thoughts by council members who
opposed the expenditure last week,
although all agreed that the pro-
blem was one that would have to
be settled as soon as possible:
Suggests One Storey
In the discussion some members
of the council said it might be
possible to eliminate a second
storey on the proposed structure.
The second floor plan called for
dressing rooms, and a small hall
which would provide- a glassed -in
view of the ice surface, The ques-
tion was asked, if by deleting this
second floor, would the cost drop
to about $25,000. Reeve Adair and
Councillor Williams did not believe
this sort of saving could be made.
The reeve also pointed out in con-
nection with the hall, that it ap-
peared there was a 50 per cent
chance of obtaining a provincial
grant, He stated that William Con.
son of the Recreation Commission
had been in contact with officials
in Toronto, and had phoned back
that afternoon to say It appeared
that such a grant would be forth-
coming,
Councillor Williams suggested
that the difference between the
cost of the re -planned, one -storey
building and that of carrying out
the original plans would not be
more than $20,000, which on the 2D -
year debenture, would amount to
about one-half mill, On the tax
rate.
Councillor Nesmith, while not
arguing the need for rebuilding the
structure, kept pointing to the rise
ing mill rate which he stated would
have to go up by at least three
mills this year to cover essential
work on the sewage system,
Council adjourned and left the
subject in the air when Mayor
Hetherington suggested that a
public ineetieg should be .held to
obtain public opinion an the sub-
ject, and to assure council of sup-
port before giving the green light
to the subject. Adjourrinient came
early Tuesday Morning.
In the interval since that nieet-
Ing, things' began to happen,

The $225,000 sewage system reno-
vation for Wingham was a major
item on council's agenda on Tues-
day evening of last week when the
final by-laws authorizing an agree-
ment with the Water Resources
Commission were read.
The agreement now leaves the
project entirely in the hands of the
Water Resources Commission. The
Commission will call for tenders
and actually look after construc-
tion of the project, as well as main-
tenance, and when completed will
bill the town quarterly.
The system consists of trunk
mains. on Victoria and Josephine
Streets for short distances in either
direction of the intersection of the
two streets, 'Trunk mains along the
river, and from Carling 'Terrace
south of Diagonal Rend, tic well as
a major pumping station at the
edge of the prairie, with a force
main of nearly a mile to a series of
disposal lagoons to the south-west
of the Watt.
Another small puinping station
and force main will service Summit
Dr1i e, and proper storm drains will
be installed ,it the enntherii enc. of
Josephine Street
Three Mille
The system will cost some 1252.-
000 with an expected write-off of
$32,000, leaving $220,000 to be fi-
nanced. Firiaheing will be over a
80 -year period nt an aninual outlay
of $24,000.00. This will lw paid far
by a levy of three mills on the
general tax rate, a charge of 4(1
percent of the water rates to all
water user's and another 48 percent
Iof the water rates charged to pro-
perty owners who ate connected to
the sewage system.

The charges through the Public
'Utilities Commission were agreed
to by that group earlier, Mayor
Hetherington reported, The 46 per-
cent portion of the water rates will
not affect the customer's bill as it
will replace that portion of the
water financing which has been
used latterly to build a surplus. The
48 percent portion will only mean
an increase of about 60 cents per
month on the average water bill.
The final agreement between the
town and the Water Resources
Commission will still have to have
approval of the Municipal Board,
but this is expected to be automatic
as the proposal has been gone over
with the Board, on the basis of ten-
tative figures.

get underway during the coming
months and will be operated under
