An OrLetter to Our Wingham Friends:
24 May, 1964.
DEAR FRIENDS;
Across Canada in village, town and oity, the Salvation Army is working
to alleviate poverty and suffering, and to meet the needs of the many who are
not equipped to cope with Life today. This Army, with banners and bonnets,
expresses hope for those in :distress, as well as those who are bound by the
chains of .addiction in its many forms. In addition, the Salvation Army ex-
tends a warm welcome to those who, for one reason and another feel un-
wanted by the society of which they form a part.
The Wingham Corps is privileged to have some part in this work of
mercy, as it pertains to those in the large area which we serve. Because our
area is so large, it is impossible to call on everyone personally. However, for
several years, our friends have shown that they are pleased to help us in our
annual RED SHIELD CAMPAIGN.
The money which is donated for the social work of the Wingham Corps
will enable us to continue to be of service to the people of the area.
During 1963, in our efforts to meet various needs, we distributed 586
articles of clothing, gave fuel to a dozen families, sent out 107 grocery orders,
(average value $10.00). In time of fires, 210 articles of furniture were given
to re-establish burned out families. Forty-three meals were supplied to various
transient guests of the municipality. Nineteen people were given overnight
lodging. Over 100 visits were made regarding welfare, in addition to the
countless hours in counselling the lonely, the distressed and discouraged who
visit us to find an answer to Life's problems. Four thousand dollars would
be a very conservative estimate of the value of the goods supplied to those in
need. This does not include the expense entailed in travelling the many
thousands of miles to Homes, Hostels, Hospitals and Clinics, with the scores
of folks who need this type of sympathetic care and treatment.
As the month of May draws to a close, we earnestly solicit a further
practical expression of your interest and support.
Volunteer canvassers will be calling on every home in this area in the
next few days. Please be ready, and support them as the willing representa-
tives of that part of the Chrisian Church which you know as the SALVATION
ARMY.
May God abundantly bless you!

Of Many Things
BY AMBROSE
A SUMMER BURNING
I've been reading Harry
BoyIe's book, "A Summer Burn-
ing", just published by Double-
day ''< Company. It has filled
me with nostalgia for my own
boyhood in a small Manitoba
town. Boyle's novel has a farm
locale, but that's fine by me
because we town ,(ids spent eve-
ry possible hour on near -by
farms and usually worked on a
farm in summer holidays.
What I remember, however,
is the small town itself and the
things we ,did. There was a lo-
cal grist mill. There was awa-
ter tower which even the most
timid boy in town climbed, The
daredevils stood with only one
foot on the little pipe at irs very
top.
The skating rink was the so-
cial center in winter. Every
boy in town, I think, had a
season's ticket. Best sport of
all was to get into the rink in
spring, after the season had
closed, and steal some skating.
The thrill of wondering about
being caught at it was half the
fun. Adults don't seem to skate
very much these days. We
skated almost every night in
winter, and in the spring, we
either "broke in" to the rink
(the caretaker always left a
HILLS
window open for us), or trudged
a mile or two to the near -by
ponds. Finding rubber ice was
big stuff.
There was, in my town as in
all others a Chinese restaurant.
This was the gathering spot for
the ,<ids. How Barry Lee put up
with us I don't know. He's an
old man now, but he remem-
bers every youngster from the
town. A favorite sport is to go
back home and call at Barry's.
He ALWAYS remembers the
name!
Saturday night was a big
night. All the farmers came to
town, the movies changed, and
there was a dance in the town
hall.
These are the things you
will remember when you read
Boyle's book, "A Summer Burn-
ing". You'll enjoy his recol-
lections; but you'll enjoy even
more the way his story prompts
your own memory to bring up
long -forgotten adventures.
I haven't quite finished the
novel yet. I won't tell you the
story, for that would spoil it,
I'm reading it slowly,achapter
at a time, savouring it, I hope
you get yourself a copy and
read it too. If you come from
a farm or a small town, it will
be a genuine joy to you.
FIFI THE CLOWN will be on hand for the three days of
the Trade Fair at the end of next week to entertain the
youngsters. Fifi, who comes from Toronto, is actually
as Irish as the old island is green for his name is Pat
O'Mahoney. He was very well known as an entertainer
in the Air Force during the Second World War.
