Ed Henniger, assistant general manager of the firm, is in charge of the opera- tions. The final go-ahead from the Water Rescources Commission was given to the firm on Friday, and the company got into action. immediately. The first job being attacked is a deep trench from the river bank across Victoria Street at the intersection of Leopold Stre- et which will carry part of the trunk sewer along the riverbank from that point north and east to the Berry subdivision. Mr. Henniger said that work on the trench on Summit Drive would be started shortly. • How- ever, he pointed out that while the force main sewer would be laid, it would take about 14 weeks before the prefab pump- ing station will be delivered and the area could be served by the new system. Town clerk William Renwict reported that the contract for the latteral sewer line on Sum- mit drive, which will feeddowr to the pumping station, has been awarded to Mowbray Con- struction of Wingham. Mr. Henniger also stated that his company will make every effort to do the work be- fore winter on the force main from the large pumping station located on No. 4 Highway just south of Scott Street extending to the sewage lagoon on the Currie farm, a line south of town. This part of the project would be almost impossible in the spring due to usual flood conditions. A lot of fellows who say what they think don't do enough thinking. SEE AND T:.

ELECTIONS HIGHLIGHT SCHOOL WEEK The Ontario provincial el- ection had its miniature coun- terpart at Wingham District High School last week as eight students contested the five Student Council executive positions. Nominated by their classmates were Alex Hamilton, Pat King, and Wayne Martin from Grade thirteen as well as Bob Grainger, Esther Kerr, Brenda MacLennan, Mary Phil- lips, and Russel Press from Grade twelve. Alex Hamilton was the only candidate who had been a member of last year's student council. At stake were the positions of president and vice-president, going to the highest boy and girl respectively and the offices of treasurer, secretary, and social convener, given to the three contestants with the next highest number of votes. The campaign got into full swing on Tuesday, when each candidate made a short speech over the P.A. system, outlin- ing his (or her) program and promises. (The usual practice of having these speeches at a mass assembly in the audit- orium had to be abandoned this year since the auditorium is being used for classes and storage space.

PHONE 357.1570 HIGHLIGHTS issues raised were school uni- forms, more literary meetings, and "protection from the tyran- ny -of the teachers". During the week, nominees handed out paper badges bear- ing their names. School walls were literally papered with election posters, many of which were quite clever, humourous, or artistic. Slogans such as "Be nice — Vote Brenda for Vice", "Don't be a Slob — Vote Bob", and (this on toilet paper) "Flush out corruption — Vote Martin", were in evi- dence everywhere. The high point of the campaign was reached on Friday when stud- ents arriving at the school in the morning found that a white flag with red letters proclaim- ing "VOTE KING" had been run up on the school flag pole. On Monday morning the voting was conducted with a weighted ballot by which a Grade nine vote is worth one point, a Grade ten vote is worth two points, and a Grade eleven, twelve, or thirteen vote has a value of three points. Those elected were: President, Alex Hamilton; vice-president, Brenda MacLennan; Esther Kerr, Mary Phillips and Pat King will fill the remaining three posi- tions. 0--0--0 VOLLEYBALL Try -outs are being held for both Junior and Senior boys' and girls' volleyball teams.
