VJe. k t 1ltss Mary Harnilton, formerly of Bluevale, and now a student at Assumption 'University, 'Windsor, addressed those gathered for thet commencement exercises at the Wingham District high School on Friday evening. Following Is the text of her ad- dress: Mr. Chairman, Honoured Guests and Friends of Wingham District High School. I am honoured to address you on behalf of the Graduates of 1962; to say "farewell” and "thank you" to all who have for the past sev- eral years., been such good friends and helpmates. Our meeting tonight is on the terms of mutual respect and friend- ship ,but there Is perhaps a touch of sadness. as we realize that .this may well be the last time that we shall all be gathered together, in one group. The honour of being valedictor- ian brings with it a great problem how to say differently, what has been said before so many times. When Mr. Madill approached mf about speaking here •tonight, I was right in the midst of packing and preparing to leave for university. (What a chore!) At the time, it struck me that I •was not only leaving behind a room filled (and I do mean filled!) with nostalgic mementos and memories batt I was like the other grads here tonight, also leaving behind an entire way of life. Just as It was time to do sortie cleaning -up in the room, so it was time to do a bit of housecleaning in my Life. It was time to leave be- hind the souvenirs collected over the years, to throw away all the old and worn out clothes and, with them, all the worn out and bad habits, So it is with everyone of the grads, Graduation is the time to don new clothes for a fresh and different approach to life and also the tune to garb our personality In new and better ways. Perhaps it is our study or work MARY HAMILTON of Bluevale is seen as she was presented with the certificate naming her as "Ontario Scholar" by A. H. McKague, assistant superintendent of education For the province. The pre- sentation was ±riade at the curornencetnent on Friday evening. practices that should be changed. or it may be our very owe per- sonal Idiosyncrasies and habits, ft does not matter. Now Is the time to do it, Of course, this doesn't mean that fate should discard all our old I habits, Many (or perhaps most) of 1 them are still serviceable, like the good old stand-by clothes we've packed off with us, and should be kept for frequent use. Nor should we simply throw out tli old ways and customs. without replacing then with new ones. Fru our trip off to university, other schools of higher education, work. or what -have -you, we acquired new clothes. So It should be with out habits.

Whatever successes we may achieve, whatever accomplishments may become ours, you also shall participate We shall gladly share our triumphs with you. And to those in the audience tonight, who are not graduates, but still have one or more years of the dear old Aline. Mater left, let us say that we, the grads, can look back with happiness on our high schonl years. There have been bad moments, moments for regrets or complaints, but the good times that we have had here, have far out- numbered thein!, It is our sincere wish that your school life will be a happy' !4 lid a .1rt t'essfrtl one, and that 111 the years to cone yen will ntaltr vis truly proud to say we went to "'i,igtiere District high School.

The organization has four pri- mary objectives: first, survival on a personal and community basis; second, the continuity of govern- ment; third, in the case of this Ma - trice, to act as a reception area for refugees from a target area; and last, to supply manpower as sup- port to re-enter at the proper time, an area that has been subject to nuclear attack. It is up to the local groups to get their plans ready, with the support of the county committee. Such things as welfare, police and traffic control as well aa communi- cations were cited as major points requiring planning. Immediate problem is the education of the public in regard to the plans that are made and in matters of sur- vival. In reply to a question, Mr. Mac- Donald stated that the local EMO group will have to have absolate authority If the country comes un- der attack. Officials Named Crawford Douglas, who had earlier accepted the position of Local co-ordinator, stated that there were a number of positions to be filled. Not all the appointments were made, as some of the men wlr; se names had been suggested could not act, Cy Robinson and N. Wel- wood were named as directors of emergency welfare; 'billeting was left open; clothing officer, DeWitt Miller; catering, James Lee; chief of registration and inquiry, James Deneau; Emerson Shera and Har- ry • McArthur, engineering;_ James Carr, fire co-ordination; James Milner, pollee co-ordination; Hasa old Remington, supply; John Bate- son, personnel: Barry Wenger, public information: Wan.

McKib- •bon, medical officer It was pointed out that these men would require considerable assistance in the formulation of their plans, and the duties which would have to be carried out in case of emergency. TRACTOR FIRE OWNER COLLAPSE AS FIREMEN ARRIVE Peter Dorsch, third line of Mor- ris, prevented serious damage at his farm on Monday evening when fire burst from the .motor •of his tractor when he attempted to start it in the driving shed. Without hesitation he backed the burning machine out of the shed and then started to fight the flames_ The alarm was turned in and when the Wingham and District fire brigade arrived they found the owner still fighting the flames without success. Two or three shots from. the chemical extinguisher on the fire truck put out the fire, but Mr, Dorsch was so exhausted by this time that he collapsed.
