Play Telephone
Roulette at
The Trade Fair
Telephone roulette with a
free telephone trip to ani city
in Canada or the United States
as a prize, will be featured at
the Bell Telephone exhibit at
the Wingham Trade and Agri-
cultural Fair.
The fair runs from Thursday,
June 4, to Saturday, June 6 at
the Wingham Arena and Me-
morial Centre,
The modern Ball a :,1lihit
features nine restaurant -tope
stools with a colored telephone
in front of each. Nine contest-
ants hear a short, instrt:c:tional
tack on the advantages of Dir-
ect Distance Dialing -- mak-
ing a long distance call without
the aid of an operator -- and
then the game starts.
The booth attendant spins a
dial on the display board to
select -- by chance -- an ar-
ea code number. The person
sitting in front of the telephone
with the corresponding area
code wins a free demonstration
telephone call to any North
American city.
Should the winner not know
the telephone number of the
party he wishes to call, he
may then telephone any one of
the weather offices listed on
the display.
Four former Wingham area
Bell Telephone operators have
been selected to staff the ex-
hibit. They are Mrs. Beverley
Hayden, Mrs. Joy Thompson,
Mrs, Betty Kuehl and Mrs.
Eileen Templeman.
The free call is monitored
so that spectators can hear both
sides of the long distance con-
versation over the loudspeaker
system.
A Bell Company spokesman
said the exhibit has two pur-
poses. First of all, it is an ed-
ucational aid in the use of the
telephone and secondly, it
provides amusement, in keep-
ing with the spirit of the fair.

All First Hussars Are
Invited to Celebration
On Saturday, June 6th, an
unusual and unique ceremony
will be held by the First Hus-
sars - Canada (M) to honour the
anniversary of D Day.
Starting at 6:55 a.m. men
will be gathering at the London
armoury to take part in a pa-
rade which will move off at
7:15 for Victoria Park. This
early morning time has been
chosen to correspond with the
time that the First Hussars
fought their way onto the
beaches of Normandy, 20 years
ago.
The service at the park will
be conducted at the famous
"Holy Roller" tank, which is in
itself, a part of D Day history.
It landed with the regiment at
that time and was used in ac-
tion until the end of the war in
Europe. It was the only tank
that remained of the regiment's
original equipment.
Breakfast will be served at
the Armoury after the service.
A token serving of "bully beef
and hardtack" will be served
along with bacon and eggs.(The
food Hussars received on D Day).
A Guard of Honour will be
mounted on "Holy Roller" and
the regiment's Sherman tank
which will be drawn up on Dun-
das St. in front of the Armoury.
This guard will be posted from
7:30 a. m.till 12:30 p.m.( The ap-
proximate time it took for the
unit's tanks to battle their way
over the Norman Beaches and
move inland.)
Any former First Hussars
that have not been contacted
are asked to present themselves
on June 6 between 6, 55 a. m. and
7:15 a.m. at the London Ar-
moury, Dundas Street Dress
will be berets, hat badge, bla-

PROFITABLE HISTORY
The most financially suc-
cessful work written in England
during the first half of the 19th
century was thc "History of
England from the Accession of
James the Second," by Thomas
Babington Macaulay, (who also
wrote the still -popular poem,
"Horatius at the Bridge"),
Macaulay's history sold 60
thousand copies in the United
States in a few months and the
British publishers, Longman
and Company, sent the authot
a single cheque for 20 thousand
pounds (worth more than one
hundred thousand dollars then)
in 1856. No single sum equal
to that amount had ever, up to
that point, been paid to an
English author.
NEW APPOINTMENT
FOR NORAD PILOT
Wing Commander L.J. Lom-
as an air pilot from NORAD
Headquarters, Colorado Springs
is to be the new Chief Admini-
strative Officer at RCAF Station
Clinton. He reports on July 7
to replace Wing Commander
H.C. "Cail" Vinnicombe who
is retiring from the RCAF.
W/C Vinnicombe will hold
an administrative post with the
University of Waterloo after
serving as a pilot since 1939.
W/C Lomas has considerable
experience in the Air Defence
field, having served extensive-
ly in Air Defence Command
before his NORAD appointment.
"Rudderless" Car
Highway Menace
"Except for the failure of a
car's brakes, failure of the
steering mechanism probably is
the most horrible experience a
motorist can have," declared
W. Arch Bryce, executive di-
rector of the Canadian Highway
Safety Council and member of
the Council's vehicle safety
committee. " The driver who
finds himself unable to steer his
car experiences a type of hys-
teria probably equalled only by
the drivers of cars in his vicin-
ity. Unless he locates and re-
pairs the steering fault before
it creates a deadly situation,
lack of control, coupled with
the resulting confusion and pan-
ic, will almost certainly pro-
duce a serious crash."
Mr. Bryce joined with other
committee members in asking
all motorists to have their ve-
hicles checked by skilled me-
chanics. "One driver of a me-
chanically faulty car is a man -
ace to every other driver on the
road," he warned.
ANONYMOUS PROPHET
From time to time, Biblical
scholars get into arguments
about the true authorship of
certain of the writings in the
Bible. In the case of thc Book
of Malachai in the OId Testa-
ment, there is no agrument
whatsoever. The hook is known
to have been written anony-
mously. The name "Malachai;
used by the writer or writers,
means "my messenger."
Dr. R. B. Palmer Is Speaker for Anniversary
GORRII3-The Sunday School
Anniversary and Flower service •
was celebrated on Sunday in
Gorrie United Church in a set -
ring of beautiful floral arrange-
ments, The theme "Prayer Is
the Key" was carried out
throughout the service both in
floral decorations and in musi-
cal and recital presentations,
Miss Carol Robinson, organ-
ist and choir leader, assisted by
Miss Lynda Johnson as pianist,
provided an inspiring musical
prelude as well as accompani-
ment for the junior choir.
The service was conducted
by Rev. Fred W. Taylor with
Dr. R, 13, Palmer, formerly of
Wroxeter and Wingham 3S guest
speaker. Dr. Palmer, who re-
cently spent eight years in the
Mission hospital at Hazelton,
13.C., told of their totem poles
now nearly extinct, and ex-
plained their former signifi-
cance in the lives of Indian
people as a means of communi-
cation with the past. In the
theme of the service he spoke
of prayer as the key to com-
munication between God and
man. The attitude of the per-
son is the key to whether the
prayer is meaningful or just
more form.
Visitors from many of the lo-
cal churches, as well as a
number from a distance, were
welcomed to this special ser-
vice, bringing the church to a
capacity attendance..
Following the service many
were pleased to renew acquain-
tances with Dr. and Mrs, Palm-
er and family.

and it can be used over and
