HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1964-03-26, Page 131 • • .y a McDonald's Ladies' and Children's Wear, formerly Carmichael's store, has recently undergone an extensive face lifting opera- tion, and the new attractive and modern shopping quarters that has emerged from the sawdust and shavings of remodelling, is very impressive and pleasing to the eye. First to go were the merchandise tables, scarred and worn with time, to be replaced with easy -to -reach display counters, mo- dern in design and in natural wood finish. The biggest chore, and the dustiest, was the removal of an old and obsolete con- crete chimney on one wall which stood in the way of the positioning of the lighted display shelves that was to make up the babies' wear department. Following that came the lowering of the ceiling by two feet, the installation of at- tractive white ceiling tile and new fluores- cent lighting that made the store's dark shadows a thing of the past. The shelves and woodwork were painted a very light beige and the wallpaper be- tween the top of the dress racks and the ceiling follows this theme with a very at- tractive beige pattern. The floor tile adds the finishing touch with a pattern that gives an inlaid stone effect and harmonizes with the overall colour scheme. The Bell Telephone office remains in the store where it has served the public for many years. Lorne and Jeane McDonald, the pro- prietors, took over the store last October when they moved here from Wallaceburg. The McDonalds are past residents of Wingham and well known in the area. Lorne was manager of the Charles Cros- sett Auto Agency at that time. Dist.

Wingham Advance-Timcs, Thursday, Match 26, 1964 - Page Report from Queen's Park Police state, Nazi Germany or Star Chamber were some of the more extreme statements made concerning Attorney -Gen- eral Fred Cass' proposed Bill giving the Ontario Police Com- mission power to summon any person for questioning in sec- ret and to jail him indefinitely if he refused to answer ques- tions. The Police C'ommisslon would have the lower to de- prive such a perqon of legal counsel until he was in jail. The legislation does not provide HIGHLIGHTS Continued from Page Four scorer with ten points. Half time saw a familiar scene with the roles reversed as a student, Murray Procter, one of the referees, forced a couple of the teachers to deposit their chewing gum in a waste bas- ket he provided. The Junior Bays took the floor against the teachers for the second .half. Led by Glen Madill with seven points and Jim Nasmith with five. they put up a strong fight. However the final score. counting both halves, was Teachers 50, Stu- dents 36. Primary point -ob- tainer for the teachers was Mr, Wood, who netted 20 points, 10 of them on foul shots. Mr. Campbell had 13 points and Mr. McLaughlin 9. 0--0--0 Plumbing Problem Last Thursday a mysterious plumbing problem occasioned a request by Mr. Madill that stu- dents use only the washrooms in the new addition. On that same day, furthermore, it was reliably reported that a tap in one of the science rooms was going "Glug, glug." 0--0--0 Fashion Show A fashion show with around 20 student models (female) and wardrobes provided by a com- mercial concern was held during the activity period last Friday for the benefit of interested girls in the high school. Most of them were. Boys were ex- cluded from the showing. for bail or appeal bY anyone imprisoned under these circum- stances. The Bill really means that a person could be pulled off the street by police. brought before the Commission and then thrown in jail if he refused to answer questions. This. with- out doubt is very dangerous and far-reaching piece of leg- islation. In commcntinv at a press conference, Mr. Cass said "The rights of a few individuals may have to be overridden for the public good." Surely there is not any re- sponsible person in this coun- try who would want to create an environment where organ- ized and syndicated crime could flourish unabated. But by the same token it is doubt- ful if there is any responsible person who would suggest that crime must be stamped out even if that means infringing on the basic rights of all the people of the province. This is precisely what Mr. Cass' bill does. The bill is supposed to be directed against organized crime. The fact of the matter is it is directed against every man and woman in this pro- vince. This piece of legislation was prompted by the Ontario Po- lice Commission's report tabled in the Legislature Thurs- day. This report pointed up the existence of organized crime in the province, but not syndi- cated crime. It stated that or- ganized crime was deeply en- trenched in some of the larger cities in the province. It is to be hoped that an ac- ceptable way of controlling crime in the province can be found without infringing on the right of the individual to the extent that the bill does at the present time. In anoher Bill Mr. Cass intro- duced measures to register all used car dealers and salesmen in the province, A registrar of used car dealers and salesmen will have the power to refuse or cancel registration for a breach of conditions under which it is granted or because he considers suoh action in the public interest. Dealers must make their hooks and other re- quired documents available for inspection. Failure to comply with the requirements will re- sult in imprisonment up to one year and a fine up to $2000. The legislation also empowers the Government to require that us- ed car dealers and salesmen be bonded. The Attorney -General hopes this legislation will be in force by June 30. During the estimates of the Department of Highways Hon. Charles MacNaughton stated that the province will have spent considerably more on roads than it received through the operation of motor vehicles for the fiscal year 1964-64. The estimated total revenue derived from the operation of motor ve- hicles from all sources is 3271,- 625.000. The estimated total ex- penditures for the Department of Highways and Department of Transport is $283,877,000, point- ing up an excess of expendi- ture versus related revenue of $121,252,000. The estimates of the Depart- ment of Public Welfare Reveal- ed that the province spends more on interest charges of the public debt than the total spent for public welfare in the pro- vince.
