NORAD Exercise In this Area if you happened to hear any "sonic booms" last Friday, there is a reasonable explana- tipn.

TALL SUNFLOWERS ----If a crop of sun- flowers at the residence of Mrs. John -H. Clark, R. R. 4, Brussels, is any indica- tion of a good growing year, then the summer of 1963 must be one of the best. This group of sunflowers range in height from 10 to 12 feet. Mrs. Clark wasn't home when we took the picture, but we are sure she is proud of them. ---Advance-Times Photo. The late Mr, and Mrs. Alex Robertson purchased and moved into a home on the south-east corner o Patrick and Catherine Streets in October, 1916. Across the street lived Mrs. Mc- Kinley and her daughter, now Mrs. James Carr. Next to Mrs. McKinley lived Miss Rose Cov- entry, with her parents and about a year later Mr. and Mrs. John Homuth and daughters moved into the home just east of the Robertsons, on Patrick Street. About the same time Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McPherson and their daughter, Yvonne, moved into the house on Cath- erine Street, just south of the Robertsons. During the years these five families remained friends and thoughtful neighbors, always on hand to help out in whatever situation arose. Mrs. McPherson and Miss Yvonne McPherson still live in the same home: Miss Coventry is in the house she occupied with her parents; one of the Homuth girls, Mrs. John Tem- pleman lives in the family home. The break in this re- lationship came this summer when Miss Leah Robertson and Mrs. James Carr, both of whom were leaving town, sold the residences in which they had lived for so many years. Truth of the matter is that the old neighborhood just doesn't seem the same since their departure. Group Committee Plans Activities The Group Committee for the Wingham Boy Scouts and Cubs met at the Scout House on Tuesday evening. The meeting was devoted to fall activities, and in particu- lar to making plans for the field day to be held at the Kin- loss Scout Grounds on Saturday. Both Scouts and Cubs from Wingham will participate and it is hoped that the parents will attend. Bob McIntyre, who was Scoutmaster last year and is leaving for Europe next month, has resigned and Fred Stein- metz, who has been in charge of the Cubs will take over with the Scouts. The Group Committee is pleased to have the services of three policeman, Murray Fri- denburg of the local Ontario Provincial Police detachment and Jim Muter and Ron Zimmer of the Wingham Police Force as Cub leaders. Others who will devote their time to the Cub program are Mrs. Don Lloyd and Mrs, Rob- ert Ahara as den mothers and Diane Deyell, Tom Deyell and Rod Cameron as assistants. School Insurance Program Revised Meeting at the Public School on Monday evening the board, after handling routine accounts and other minor business, re- viewed the insurance portfolio with agent W. B, Conron. The meeting took consider- able time as the insurance on the school was discussed in de- tail. Approved, were changes in coverage, which meant in- creases in some aspects and lower coverage in others. Total premiums will not be changed drastically. One aspect of in- terest was a change in the med- ical coverage which insures against accidents to pupils. The change will allow for contri- butions by parents if they desire to provide broader accident coverage. The board checked the sum- mer's painting program in the building and approved the ac- counts. The main halls of the old building and three classrooms had been redecorated. The painting program is a continu- ing effort each summer over a five-year cycle, which is then repeated. Principal Stewart Beattie re- ported that 497 pupils had re- gistered on opening day but the number had levelled off at495 during the week. In September of 1962 some 488 had register- ed. Sixty-one of this year's total are registered in kinder- garten. New Leaders A Pack Cubs held their first meeting of the fall season on Tuesday evening and welcom- ed new leaders, Murray Friden- burg, Jim Miller and Ron Zim- mer.

Other members present from last year's staff were Diane Deyell, Tom Dey- ell and Rod Cameron. Dave Crothers, who has been a lea- der, assisted at this meeting but will not be able to continue for Cubs because of school studies. Following the Grand Howl the meeting moved outside for tryouts and practice for the area field day, which will be held this Saturday at the Kin- loss Scout Grounds, 14 miles west of Holyrood.
