Financial negotiations are be, ing carried out with financial institutions to supply mortgage financing. However, it was pointed out that construction will not be long delayed be* cause the raising of debenture capital is proceeding at a rapid pace. Mr. Corrigan, the debenture G. Alan Williams OPTOIbI E TR I ST Patrick St,, Wingham Phone 3574282 supervisor, announced that the debenture campaign has been going on for three weeks and the cash flow has now reached $25, 000.00 per week and is expected to climb to $50, 000 weekly within two weeks. M that rate of cash flow it would seern possible to start construct- ion almost immediately. FAME will have four repre- sentatives calling on share- holders in Huron over the next three weeks. The debenture represents good security to the shareholder, has a good inter- est rate and carries life inur- e ance on the holder's life. The shareholders at the meeting felt that the type of debenture offered to sharehold- ers was good, and a sure way of getting the companies con- struction plans rolling. Sophistication; the ability to do almost anything without feeling guilty. OF MANY THINGS Ambrose Hills Speaks About that Smug Look A friend with a big and powerful car was driving me home from the lake because my own bus wasn't functioning. It was a crowded highway, so we followed another car that set a fair pace and simply re- laxed to enjoy the ride and the radio that was playing good old-fashioned music, nice to drive to. Suddenly, a young lad in a 1956 Chev with fringes around the top and a dangling doll hanging from the rear- view mirror whizzed by us, cutting in just in time to avoid a head-on collision. We sighed when he made it. Next to cut in was no teen- age lad; he must have been in his late fifties. But he had the same look on his face. A couple of other drivers, doing the same stupid things, added hazard to the drive that after- noon, and they, too, had the same look -- a nauseating smugness. What amazed us was that the car we were in could have whizzed past any of them. No .cause for pride on the part Of the driver, for we are all agile and strong enough to push an accelerator to the floor. Any dunce can do that, So why the smug look? I have been trying to figure it out. Spending a week -end in a country tewn recently, 1 watched the midnight tag - game that went on, with cars splattering gravel at every corner. It was such a display of ignorance I was appalled. I asked a native about it and he said, "It goes on every Saturday night, And you ought to see the looks on the faces of the idiots who indulge in it a sort of blank smugnesst" Completely baffled by this behaviour, I asked a psychia- trist friend of mine if he could Ashton Reunion At Gorrie Park The annual Ashton reunion was held at the Gorrie Conser- vation Park on Sunday with a good attendance.

It is a sign of a com- plete lack of security — the boy or man who indulges in it is trying to bolster an ego, 1 -le is conscious of some lack of manhood in his makeup, and is attempting to prove that he is a bold fellow. The young fellow who drives carefully is usually the real man he doesn't have to prove anything; So next time you see cars whipping around small-town streets or busy highways, don't think you are seeing daredevils at large. What you are seeing, instead, are cowards or very little men who are trying to prove to themselves that they are brave and bold, Pity them — and tum in their lic- ense numbers. You'll be do- ing them a favor.

Willis, vocational school auto mechanics teacher for W.D,H,S,, Was amonligt the 60 teachers from 36 Oa'l k- io centres to attend a dinner in Oshawa last Wednesday night as guests of General Motors of Canada. The dinner marked the conclusion of tht first of a series of courses which has placed QM in the field of secondary school train- ing under departments of edu- cation across Canada. The teachers have complet- ed ompleted the one-month intensive course to get credit toward higher teaching categories. The teachers requested such courses in order to keep up with developments in the auto industry and GM designed it at no cost, if the Federation of Ontario Teachers Association would guarantee a sufficient number of students, Since that time eight of the ten pro- vinces organized enrollment programs and gave full accred- itation under their teacher training programs.
