Seeks Singers Hap Swatridge, of the CKNX staff, who is well and widely known for his musical ability, has undertaken what sounds like an extremely worthwhile and enjoyable project, He is attempting to gather a sizeable group of Wingham men, who like to sing and who would be interested in belonging to a men's barber shop chorus. He has announced a meeting to be held in the Wingham town hall on Wednesday evening of next week at 8 o'clock. There is no need to be a trained vocal ist to get into the group. Hap asks for men who like to.sing, can sometimes read music, can usually be heard in the shower. A similar organization is carrying on at Walkerton with great success and with complete enjoyment for its members, If you like to sing and seldom get a chance—be at the town hall next Wednesday night, First Home Game Is Slated dor Teeswater Official Opening Honourable Matthew B.

In providing this up-to-date service for sick patients the Government sees great corn- rnunity benefits in the new $3,500,000.00 hospital. Wingham's first home game for the Intermediate hockey club was scheduled for the local arena on Friday evening of this week. However, build- ing operations on the new arena front have not progressed to the point where the game can be held, and as a result the Wing - ham Dominion Tire Jets will meet the Walkerton club in the Teeswater arena on Friday at 8:30. The game has been moved to this location, as close to home as possible, in order to permit the maximum number of Wingham supporters to at- tend. Plan now to be in Tees- water on Friday to boost the hometown team.
