DEAD ANIMAL REMOVAL FOR DEAD OR DISABLED ANIMALS CALL COLLEcYI' DARLING & Company OF CANADA LIMITED Wingham Dial 357-3106 Dowd Animal Lia No. 262-0-11 Seo,,ffi activities but the Cubs (except the win- ning Six) must have the money to purchase their tickets, whicn will be 50¢ each, Please read the Main Drag for time and place of meeting for the trip. 0--0--0 "B" PACK CUBS The past several weeks have seen very busy meetings for this Pack. 1st Star requirement work is coming along and as the youthful gardeners find their efforts being rewarded assmall green shoots become leaves, buds and flowers, several more of the boys have passed the "Growing Things" requirement, The leaders are proud of the excellent achievement of this group of boys. Their keen in- terest in Cubs is shown by the excellent attendance at meet- ings, with only one or two ab- sent and these usually explain- ed by sickness or other very ac- ceptable reasons. Four boys have moved away from Wing - ham and one dropped out, but the numbers have been main- tained by new Cubs. So the record goes, and it certainly has been a good one. As we observe Baden-Powell week, and remember the great man who founded the Move- ment of Scouting, it is good to look back on past records and look ahead to a busy and happy future in the building of our manhood of to -morrow. This Sunday morning all lst Wingham Cubs and Scouts will join for a Church Parade to St. Andrew's Church. Thus the boys will further their growth by an example of Christian fel- lowship; for while our Scouts and Cubs welcome boys of all faiths, creeds and colours, still beneath it all a knowledge of right from wrong, developed through good Christian training and worship, fills a place in our program. Remember -- B. -P. Sunday, Feb. 23rd. Church Parade, St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church at the 11 o'clock service. All parents are most welcome to come along and join in this ser- vice of worship. The boys will meet in the basement of the church in full uniform, clean, pressed and shining. If it is cold, please wear your shorts and put a pair of longs over them. Then these can be tak- en off with your coats and left in the hall. Juniors Meet At High School The North Huron Junior Far- mers and Junior Institute held their February meetings last Thursday at the Wingham Dis- trict High School. There were 12 Institute members and 27 Junior Farmers in attandance. At the girls' meeting Miss Jean Fraser told of her recent trip to California. Don Pullen, assistant agricultural represent- ative for Huron County spoke to the Junior Farmers on feeding beef cattle. The two groups joined to- gether and George Procter read a very interesting club paper, composed by himself and Don Procter. It was decided to change the night of the regular meeting from the second Thurs- day of every month to the sec- ond Wednesday. The evening closed with a box social lunch. FEROCIOUS FRATERNITY One o'f the most closely - knit crime organizations in American history was the Sam Hop Tong. This secret frater- nity was said to be as old as China itself. In the 19th cen- tury, when Chinese immigra- tion to the United States was at its height, the Sam Hop Tong was infamous for its criminal activities, chief among them being blackmail, robbery and murder. In 1898, Chinese bus- inessmen appealed to their home government and hundreds of arrests took place in China and in San Francisco, with the result that the Sam clops virtu- ally went out of existence. Girls in Playoff Broomball Games North Huron men's broom - hall games played last Thurs- day evening resulted in Bel- grave beating Cranbrook by a score of 2-0 and 10th Line tak- ing Stone School 4-1. On Monday evening Cran- brook won over Stone School 1-0, Wingham and Bluevale tied 1-1 and 10th Line beat Walton 3-0, GIRLS' LEAGUE The girls teams stand with Brussels in first place, Wing - ham second, Blyth third and Wingham X fourth. The Brussels and Blyth teams will now play-off in a best two of three series and the Wing - ham and Wingham X teams will play against each other in the same series. The first game in the Wing - ham Arena was on Tuesday night when Wingham X won over Wingham 1-0. The game for Thursday night has been postponed be- cause of the high school con- cert, and will be held next Tuesday evening at 7.30 in the local arena when the two Wing - ham teams will play their sec- ond game. Not to Have County Project For Centenary GODERICH--There will be no centenary project in Huron at the county level as too many local municipalities have de- cided to go ahead on their own. At the January session of county council, discussion re- sulted in a decision to have the various reeves sound out their councils and advise Mr. Berry in good time for the March ses- sion. A sufficient number of re- ports have now reached the clerk to indicate that too many have local plans for any pros- pect of county action. On the practical side, grants payable to townships and towns would not be duplicated in the form of a county grant. The situation which has thus developed has been made known. to the warden's and personnel committee, of which Reeve. A. D. Smith, Turnberry, is chair- man. Upon confirmation of its report by council in March, the matter of a county project will he shelved. Exeter made it known at the January session it has a project; Goderich Township cow» it has since decided that a to ._ship building would be a good cen- tenary project, and Goderich will go it alone, though the na- ture of the project is uncertain at this stage. "It has been left with the special committee, of which Councillor William Schaefer is chairman," Mayor Mooney said. "I have passed on a num- ber of suggestions I have re- ceived, but we have not come to any definite conclusion. One of these days we will have to make up our minds." Must Buy Plates By Next Friday The final day for getting licence plates is Friday, Febru- ary 28. Transport Minister Ir- win Haskett confirmed today that there would be no exten- sion of the deadline. The new plates have been on sale since December 2, and from the out- set it has been specified that the deadline would not be ex- tended. On Monday, the Department estimated that 1964 plates had been purchased for about 1,000,000 vehicles, and the re- maining 600,000 would have to be obtained in two weeks. Drivers' licences for 1963 al- so expire on February 28 and they may be renewed at any local licence issuing office as well. It is estimated that 1,900,000 drivers now have their new licences and close to 500,000 have not. Commercial vehicle and trailer plates will go on sale on March 2 and must be purchased by March 31, Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, Feb. 20, 3.004 -- Page 7 MAY I HANDLE YOUR PERSONAL INSURANCE NEEDS—FIRE, AUTO, LIABILITY?
