We are delighted to get bona fide letters to the editor, if they •co,ntain some legitimate complaint or sorite constructive criticism -- but the writer's name must be in - eluded. If the letter deals with a nen-controversial subject we will print it with pen -name only—but when it is controversial we print the writer's name.

Cousins, discussed the changes do the training plan. For many years the training school at the Wingham Hospital has graduated not one but two classes of certified nursing assistants each year. About 20 students have been handled in each of the two classes and Mrs, Morrey, hospital administratrix, pointed out that there have been very few failures HOLD COOK -OUT HOE ALLEN IS SCOUT SPEAKER Last Wednesday night the First Wingham Boy Scout Troop met at their campsites along the river for a cookout, each patrol having its own fire and the boys cooking their own meals. Following the supper a game of capture the :flag, was played on the Scout House grounds. The boys gathered in the Scout House to hear George Allen of Wingham give an educational' talk on some of his world travels, par: tieularly Hong Kong and Gibral- tar. At the conclusion he gave some of the Scouts chopsticks as souvenirs. The boys enjoyed Mr. Allen's account of these interesting places and are hoping to have him Melt at a later date, The Scouts then held a council fire at the secret campfire site, under the direction of Scooters Marcel Trost and Robert McIntyre, assisted by Troop Leader David Wenger.

They returned home by the railway tracks, The patrols were headed by Bill Yemen, Scout Lead- er, Peter Russell, Cub leader and Dave Wenger, troop leader.

Conditions Rugged but Rummage Sale Goes On By Mrs. W. J. Greer The Wingham arena was being renovated and the whole front was open to the wind and weather, but this did not discourage the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Wingham and Dis- trict Hospital from carrying on with their fall rummage sale. The women donned heavy clothing, set up their tables and clothes racks and proceeded to work. All day Friday, as the articles arrived by truck and car, they were sorted, marked' and placed in readiness for the buying public. This con_ tinned until Saturday at two o'clock when the dozens of sales people took their places, the doors were opened and the waiting crowd rushed in. The rummage sale was in action, People are always amazed at the variety of articles which find their way to the rummage sale, some for the second, or even the third time. But someone is always ready to buy, The tables were crowded with customers trying on hats and shoes and holding up dresses for C,Tr.L. TEA Catholic Women's League fall tea and bake sale will be held Satur- day, October 27th, from 3-5 in the Council Chambers. F17 -24b OPEN HOUSE Rev. and Mrs. Cecil M.

JIM Pierce's orchestra, Ladies please bring lunch. Illveryone welcome. F17b arnong those students who tried the provincial examination for cer- tification, Another factor in the problem is that Wingham has the necessary residence facilities to handle two classes annually. It was agreed at the rneetin that Mrs, Morrey and the directo of the training school will visi other hospitals in the provine which are operating tratnin schools, and that the changes wil be discussed further by the boar with officials in Toronto, September Figures Mrs. Morrey reported that ther were 192 admissions during Sep tember; 25 births, 46 operations, 11 outpatients, 233 X-rays, 11 bioo transfusions, 1107 laboratory pro ;educes, 24 electrocardiographic ex aminations, 45 at cancer clinic rhe month showed a total of 271 patient days for a daily averag of 90. Length of stay averaged 2 lays in the chronic wing and si days in the active wing, which i about average for the province. Mr, Cousins, who reported fo the management committee in the absence of the chairman, DeWit Miller, said that the registered nurses' association of the' hospital had asked for a meeting with rep- resentatives of the board to discuss various problems in connection withsalaries, holidays, sick leave, etc. The meeting was arranged for Tuesday evening of this week. Buy New Generator Chairman J. V, Fischer, of the property committee reported that his committee had purchased a second stand-by generator for the hospital from Ontario Hydro in To- ronto, The institution has been served by one generator of 45 kilo- watt capacity, but it has become inadequate for the growing re- quirements of the hospital. The machine which has just been pur- chased is a diesel -powered genera- tor with a capacity of 100 k.w,, which will meet the needs of tin entire building. He stated that a very good price had been secured at $3,400. The equipment is expect_ ed to arrive on Tuesday of this week, E, E, Walker, a member of the property committee pointed out that a dangerous situation exists due to the fact that the central con- trol panel for all wiring in the hos- pital is located in the basement of the old building, where fire haz- ard is the highest, He suggested that since some enlargement of the shop section of the building will be necessary to house the new gener- ator, thought should be given to providing enough u h addition a1 space to contain the electrical panels, which could then be proved out of their present location and fire- proofedproperly. rl Y, Board members generally agreed with his observations and the pro- perty committee was asked to se- ure prices on the necessary work o move and re -install the wiring nd controls, Maintenance Work Mr, Fischer also reported that he engineering department had olnpleted the re -building of a new p on the coal bunker. The dish- ashing equipment has been moo- d to a new location in the kitchen n order to obtain better ventila- lon, Several other major jobs had iso been completed, as well as rou- ne maintenance, DI. W. A. Meklbbon reported t e 1 d e t size. Many gathered at the child- tc ten's department, where whole families were outfitted. Others a spent time at the books and novel- ties. Around four o'clock every- t thing of interest had gone, some booths were sold out, and what was ct left was packed and will be sent in relief bales, All in all, it was a very profit- i able afternoon, for, when the pro- t ceeds were tallied it was found a that $880.54 had been added to the ti auxiliary treasury. Proceeds from the adult clothing reached more than last year, There was no ac- commodation for serving lunch or counting the money, but the fin- ance committee was grateful to Mrs. Walter Brown for the use of her house to complete the returns, Taken by departments the pro- ceeds showed: Adult clothing, $291.- 96; children's clothing, $69,20; mis- cellaneous, $133.98; hats, $43,50; shoes, 578.65; novelties, $75,87; gro- ceries, $47,38; furniture, $72.90; donations, $42,00; articles sent to hospital, $25.00, Total $880.54. It is interesting to know that the first hospital rummage sale was held In the council chamber oh October 31, 1936, afternoon and ev- ening and brought in $103,86. This was considered a very great achievement in those days. In this year of 1962, the ladies' aux- iliary has realized $1,634.90 from the two sales, Up to this time a total of $31,955 has been made from the 45 rummage sales. As a result quantities of linens and mach valuable equipment have been placed in the Wirigitam Hos- pita!, all of which has a.drled great- ly to the comfort of the patients and convenience of the staff. The auxiliary extends thanks to all who helped make this sale such a success and refntnels everyenr' to' start gathering articles for the next one which comes along in the spring, the bar.—Advance-Times photo, for the medical staff and Mrs. Mors rey informed the board that a be- quest of $100 had been received from the Frederick Davidson es- tate• i for prizes.

Throw Away the Cigarette Foil Recently T h e Advance -Times published a small notice that the Scouts were collecting foil from cigarette packages to aid a girl in this region to obtain a Seeing Eye dog. At the time this was mentioned the boys were quite sure that this project was very worthwhile and had decided to do what they could to help. They have since learned that this was not so, and the fol- lowing release received by Mrs. Fred Steinmetz from the ONIB field secretary will show that the Scouts are not the only people to have been in error in this regard. "The current rumor in Wingham that a Seeing Eye dog can be ob- tained by the saving of silver pa- per front cigarette packages is er- roneous," states E. F. Wheeler, dis- trict field secretary for the Can- adian National Institute for the Blind, "As far as we know all the silver paper in Canada will not buy a single Seeing Eye dog. "The rumor that silver paper will buy a dog guide has persisted for several years. As many as five ue inquiries a day reach CIB head- quarters in Toronto from people asking what to do with the paper they have collected." Fashion Show at High School Tonight Eight Wingham merchants will show their merchandise at the Business and Professional Women's Club fashion show tonight in tate Wingham and District High School auditorium. The clothes will be modelled by local people and the new fall and winter styles for men, women and children will be fea- tured. The fashion show is the first project the club has sponsored since it was organized over a Year ago. "Melody in Fashion" will also introduce new hair styles by local hairdressers. The show is scheduled to open at 7.45 and draws will be made during the evening HiGH JUMPING was one of the major events at the public school field meet last Wednesday.

The boys made slightly over lastt year's total for their efforts and would like to thank all those who supported their annual project: In charge at the council cham- bers were Assistant Scoutmaster Bill Yemen; Cub Leader Peter Rus- sell and Troop Leader David Wenger, Mrs, Geo. Richardson, Mrs. Da- vid Crothers, ;Mrs. John Strong and Mrs. George Brooks of the Moth. era' Auxiliary served chocolate milk Saturday morning and after_ noon. `V ,G. 1. i d Groups Elect Officers Again this fall five groups of the.
