CKNX OFFICIAL OPENING ON MONDAY Ceremony at New Building -- Open House All Next Week Next Monday will mark a highlight in the 38-yearhistory of CKNX, Wingham, when of- ficial opening ceremonies will take place at the new broad- casting building on Carling Ter- race. It is expected that several outstanding persons of the broadcasting field will be on hand, among them Dr. Andrew Stuart, chairman of the Board of Broadcast Governors; Al- phonse Ouimet, president of the Canadian Broadcasting Corpor- ation, as well as members of the federal and provincial par- liaments, mayors, reeves and county wardens from Western Ontario. The final completion of the building culminates a con- struction program which has been under way for many months. It was in March of 1962 that the former high school building which housed CKNX at that time, was destroyed by fire. Broadcasting was resumed within hours in temporary quarters, and until the early summer of this year the offices of the company were housed in two vacant stores on Wingham's main street. The new building, the most modern of its kind in Canada, was erected on the site of the Bluevale Man Is Injured in Crash Robert Ivan Guy of Bluevale was admitted to the Wingham and District Hospital on Sept- ember 24th suffering from head injuries, facial lacerations and contusions following an acci- dent on No. 86 Highway near Lochalsh. He is in satisfactory condition. Mr. Guy was in collision with a tractor driven by Ken- neth Elphick of R.R. 3, Luck - now, who was also admitted to hospital but released after x- rays were taken. ALONG THE MAIN DRAG By The Pedestrian FALL FRUIT— Mrs. Ivan Wightman of East Wawanosh dropped in to the A -T office last week with a 12 -inch piece of raspberry cane on which were two or three dozen green berries and several ripe ones. Along with Mrs. Ross Taylor and Mrs. Jean Tay- lor she picked a full box of ripe berries around an old stone pile I on Sept. 26. 0--0--0 SLIGHTLY IMPROVED— Friends will be pleased to know that the condition of Capt. W. J. Adams, who has been ill in the Wingham and District Hospital for the past week, is now slightly improved. 0--0--0 APPLE DAY— Boy Scouts and Wolf Cubs have decided on Saturday, Oct- ober 19th as the date for their annual Apple Day. This is the big money -raising event of the year for the boys. 0--0--0 ALL TOO FREQUENT— This past week two children were admitted to the Wingham and District Hospital after they had swallowed poisons. It proves once again that parents cannot be too careful with poi- sons and medicines when small youngsters are about. As an example — only three aspirn tablets could be fatal to a tod- dler. one destroyed by fire. It con- tains the very latest in the way of equipment and broadcasting facilities. Congratulations are extend- ed to W. T. Cruickshank, president and founder of the company, G. W. Cruickshank, general manager of CKNX and the loyal staff. CKNX has extended an invi- tation to the public to visit the new building any evening next week, when open house will be observed. Whitechurch Wins W.O.A.A. Title They did it again! White- church has an enviable repu- tation for winning ball games and championships and 1963 ap- parently is no different. The Whitechurch Jr. Softball squad has taken the WOAA champion - 'ship in a best of five series with Milverton. The series was standing at two wins for Whitechurch with nothing for Milverton, when the Perth County boys forfeited the series giving the Whitechurch lads the championship. IT'S ALL OVER BUT THE READING If you happen to be talking to anyone from The Advance - Times, don't expect him to ex- hibit too many signs of vim, vigor and vitality. Last week -end the staff com- pleted the reproduction of the biggest commercial printing job in the long history of the business. In fact we believe it to be the biggest newspaper production ever undertaken by any rural weekly plant at least in this section of the province. The job involved the production of 70, 000 eight -page mailing pieces to mark the opening of the new CKNX building which takes place next Monday. Reproduction in newspaper format, the mailings will go to every home in the CKNX view- ing area. Work on the job has been in progress since the first week in September and its re- production required three tons of newsprint. Employing second color (black and red) on four of its eight pages, the piece re- quired some 210 thousand im- pressions on the big newspaper offset press at The Advance - Times, as well as another 70, 000 passes through the fold- ing machine. Lying flat the sheets for the job occupied a space of 29 by 42 inches and if all were piled in one heap, would have reach- ed a height of between 20 and 25 feet. The sheets lying end - to end, would stretch from Wingham to Exeter. By this time you may have received your copy of the "CKNX Newsletter" . If not you will be interested in the infor- mation it carries about the new station, its personnel and its programming. Wroxeter Man Held - Wound in Shoulder William Showers, 23 of Wroxeter, is under guard in the Wingham Hospital recovering from a bullet wound in the right shoulder.

The CKNX Building on Carling Terrace which will be officially opened on Monday DETAILS OF PROVINCIAL VOTING Last Count Gives One Vote Edge To Prog. Conservative Candidate With the provincial election now past history by one week, an analysis of the voting in Huron -Bruce riding is of interest. Outstanding in the results, of course, was the o- xtremely close race between the two candidat- es, Liberal incumbent Murray (Gaunt and the Progressive Con- Iservative candidate, George McCutcheon. First over-all count at Returning Officer W. B. McCool's headquarters in Wingham on election night in- dicated Gaunt with a majority of one. Re -checking reversed the majority to give McCutcheon an edge of three. In the inter- val, however, a final tally has been made and the figure now stands at a majority of one vote for the PC candidate. The totals are: Gaunt, 6347; McCutcheon, 6348. Next step in the procedure FOR MOST ADULTS election day was on Wednesday of last week, but at the Wing - ham District High School this Monday saw the end of a lively campaign for mem- bership on the Students' Council.

Hen- derson at his home in Deep River, Ontario. Dr. Henderson, who was 53, died shortly after completing his day's work at Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. Only three weeks before his death he had visited with his sister, Mrs. R. W. Proctor in Morris Township. Dr. Henderson was born in 1910, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Henderson, Blue - vale Road. Early in his school years it became evident that he was an outstanding student, a fact proven by his achieve- ments during his years at the Wingham High School where he won both the Carter and Mal- colm scholarships, and later as he attended Queen's University at Kingston and Cambridge Uni- versity in England. Ile receiv- ed his B.A. and M.A. degrees in physics from Queen's and his Pd. D. at Cambridge in 1935. A quotation from the 1931 year book of Queen's University is indicative of the scope of his mental accomplishments:... and still wonder grew; how one small head could carry all he knew". The year book stated that though these words were an old and well-worn quotation they applied particularly in Mr. Henderson's case. In 1936 and 1937 he lectur- ed in Physics at Princeton Uni- versity and later was assistant professor of physics at Purdue University. In 1941 he joined the radio division of the Nation- al Research Council in Ottawa to work on the wartime develop ment of radar. He transferred in 1946 to the physics division. Dr. Henderson joined Atomic Energy of Canada in 1952 and moved at that time to Deep River, which is the townsite for employees of the Chalk River atomic development, where he headed the Reactor Physics I Branch, Reactor Research and Development Division. He is survived by his wife, Jessie, and two daughters, Kath- erine Ann, 19, a student at Queen's University, and Ellen Lydia, 15, attending high school in Deep River. There are two brothers, L. G. Hend- erson of London and A. M. Hen- derson of Bruce Mines, and one sister, Mrs. R. W. Proctor, Mor ris. Funeral service was conduct- ed at St. Barnabas Church, Deep River and interment was in that community. Mrs. Proc- tor and daughter Joyce attend- ed the funeral.
