HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1964-02-13, Page 3Inadequate Ventilation Is Unhealthy. In attempting to keep old livestock buildings warm in winter, openings such as craoks allowing air movement are of- ten plugged to limit the amount of draft on livestock. J, E. Brubaker, extension specialist in Agricultural Engin- eering, Ontario Agricultural College, reports that although it is a good practice to keep buildings as warm and draft free as possible it is not wise to cut ventilation off completely, In- adequate ventilation allows an accumulation of moist stuffy air which presents an unhealthy atmosphere for livestock and one that allows the framework of the building to rot. Mr, Brubaker suggests that fans may be used to improve ventilation. The number of fans to use depends on the type of livestock in the building as well as on the insulating qual- ities of the walls and ceilings. Their placement should be on ' the side of the building away from the prevailing winds if possible or perhaps in the cool- est part of the barn to draw warm air across that area. The latter practice might require additional insulation as conden- • sation may form on the cold wall he says. Specific recommendations for proper ventilation methods can be obtained from agricul- tural engineering extension specialists in county agricultur- • al offices. r • a • PROMPT PRESCRIPTION SERVICE YOUR prescription is our First Order of Business) —At your service - 77 -44- *RIBBONS M kIBBONS PHARMACY (7 r)WINGHAM PHONE 357-1880 BARRING A FEW BIG BLIZZARDS it should be an easy spring with little damage of flooding.

One that would interest a wide audience in basic Gospel truths? St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Wing - ham, Ontario, is trying to do just that. It all started as an idea in the mind of the minister, the Rev. Gordon Fish. He wonder- ed about expanding the influ- ence of the church school. Was there a way of reaching child- ren in homes not in contact with the organized church? Because young children spend \Don't be half -protected imminionmesionsimumminamm If your insurance program doesn't adequately cover you against major possibilities of loss, you may wake up one day to find yourself in serious financial trouble.

WINGHAM PH. 357-2636 VISIT YOUR ELECTRIC HEATING INFORMATION CENTRE OTARIO IIYDRO WINGHAM PHONE 357-2810 long hours before the T. V. screen, this media with its visual impact seemed an ideal way. So the proposal was dis- cussed with program officials at CKNX television in Wingham. They were keenly interested in the basic objectives, which are: (a) To attract, by interest- ing programming, a wide audi- ence of church school age child- ren. (b) To present religious truths to them in an interesting, entertaining way. (c) To promote general interest in church school train- ing and attendance, both to children and parents not associ- ated with the organized church. The station agreed to share the cost of the program and as- sign a producer to it, who 'would help organize and deve- lop the show. Then the search began for interested and talent- ed people in the congregation, who could best communicate with an audience. Through the summer months a high school teacher and his wife designed and built puppets to depict characters in C. S. Lewis' allegory, "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe". It would be presented in serial form. A housewife and former school teacher worked on a series of flannelgraph presenta- tions illustrating famous Bible stories. The wife of a physic- ian organized and rehearsed a choir of 25 children. Another church member, whose son is a minister, took on the job of in- viting and answering mail on the program each week. Many others worked behind the scenes writing, organizing and helping in a multitude of ways to bring the idea to fulfilment. Through September the pro- gram, now called Footsteps, took shape at rehearsal after rehearsal. It was decided that Mr. Fish would introduce the show with the help of Kokomo, a friendly monkey who would act as a foil for introduction of the various segments. The next big hurdle was financing the project, After a discussion with the session and board of managers, the cong- regation was asked for voluntary financial support over and above normal church giving. The response was immediate and generous. Enough was re- ceived to carry the series of 13 programs. It's still too soon to predict the effect of the program. But as we enter the second half of the series it is certain that children are being attracted by the interesting, exciting meth- ods of presentation. We heard of one seven-year-old from a home where church and Sunday School attendance was never encouraged, who on the Sunday after the first program presented himself to his parents at 9.30 a.m., fully dressed, and an- nounced, "I'm ready for Sun- day School!" When Footsteps has run its course next spring, all of us connected with it hope that it will have made a real contri- bution to the growth of interest in religion at all age levels. The results of this test should be closely watched for similar ap- plications elsewhere. "Just because you have been kept waiting," said the nurse to the expectant father, "doesn't necessarily mean the baby will be a girl," Whitechurch Mr. and Mrs. Earl Caslick visited Wednesday with their daughter, Mrs. Ronnie Coultes, Mr. Coultes and family of East Wawanosh.

THE NAME'S THE THING In artistic circles, it is some- times valuable to have a Rus- sian name. For example, the Encyclopedia Americana points out that Alicia Markova, one of the world's great ballet ar- tists, was born Lillian Alicia Marks.
