The Wingham Advance-Times, 1964-11-19, Page 1• ALONG THE MAIN DRAG By The redestrran NO RUSH -- There appears to be no great demand for the warden's chair in Huron County to date, Reeve Morgan Agnew of Clint- on appears, so far, to be the only member of county coun- cil showing any interest, No doubt there will be more aspir- ants before the January session when the warden is elected. 0--0--0 BUTTON UP -- Guess it's on the way. There was snow in the air on Wednes- day with the promise of more during the next few days, We can't complain, however, af- ter the nicest November wea- ther in years. 0--0--0 HOSPITAL BAZAAR -- One of the big events of this week will be the Hospital Staff Bazaar, scheduled for the town hall on Friday at two o'clock. We hear that a tre- mendous number of interesting and attractive articles have been assembled for this, the first event of its kind, Pro- ceeds from the bazaar will be used to furnish a sitting room for patients at the hospital. 0--0--0 F ANOTHER TEN DOLLARS -- Better take a look through this week's ads and see if you can win yourself a ten-spot in the A -T Jig Saw contest. Itis fun and it's profitable. 0--0--0 NOVEMBER PICNIC -- Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Robb and family enjoyed a picnic at In- verhuron on Sunday, November 8. While it was cool in the evening the noon hour was as , warm and sunny as a summer day. This last fling outdoors made up a little for the cold, wet days earlier when the fam- ily was forced to stay home be- cause of the weather. 0--0--0 WORK STARTS- - Owen King Construction started work on the installation of two eight -foot culverts and a head -frame at the Lower Town dam this week. The pro- ject is being handled for the • town by the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority and is the first phase of a rehabilita- tion program for the dam and pond. 0--0--0 NEW DECORATIONS -- 4 On Monday night it looked as if town workmen were put- ting in overtime setting up street decorations. However, it turned out to be Dee Miller, Warren Callan and Lorne Mc- Donald trying out the firstpro- totype on a lamp pole. The decoration is a scroll of wrought iron outlined by Christmas lights. It looked good and the men indicated the job would proceed post haste to put up one on each of the main drag Lamp standards. BIG HOLE -- House building often requires breaking up a piece of pave- ment in order to hook up sew- age lines, and such was the case for a new home being built on Catherine Street close to the back of the hospital. Re- sult -- a hole in the street that is enough to break a spring shackle, If it isn't fixed this fall it will certainly be a ha- zard all winter and a mud hole in the spring. No Gifts for P.S.

In case you are wondering what that headline means, it indicates that the Wingham barber shop singers were char- tered as the 31st Ontario Coun- cil of the Society for the Pres - Poem Appears In Free Press The front page of Section two in Saturday's London Free Press featured a poem written by Mrs. A. R. DuVal of Wing - ham, titled "Fancy! A Fairy Tale". Accompanying the poem were three photographic studies by Free Press staff photographer Ken Smith. One of them, showing milkweed pods bursting with silvery floss, won a first award at the Western Fair in London. Mts. DuVal's poem is de- lightfully fanciful. It's lines convey an intangible hope and promise for the renewal and re- birth of all about us which seems to wither and die in the fall. D.

Rev. C. M. Jardine gave the invocation following the proces- sion of graduates into the audi- torium. Miss Carol Robinson was organist. Pianists were Gloria Reed, Sandra Fisher and Lynda Reavie, Anne Oldfield and Linda Johnston. Principal F. E. Madill in- troduced Dr. W. S. Turner, dean -designate at the new Col- lege of Education to be opened in London next year, who has devoted a great deal of time to the planning and organization of the new institution. An hon- orary Doctor of Laws degree was conferred on Dr. Turner by the University of Western Ontario last year. Dr. Turner congratulated the graduates and said he would be delighted to think some of them would become secondary school teachers. He said there is tangible evidence that the provincial government is aware of the varying apptitudes of students in its contributions to universities, adult training and re-training, and the building of educational centres. He emphasized the need for students to enter society with something to sell. They can no longer plan on success on a "play by ear" basis; it must be "play by note". In times past the untrained office bay had a chance of becoming the firm's managing director. Dr. Turner pointed out that there will not be as many self-made men in future because unless people have the necessary edu- cation they will not get by the personnel officer. Dr. Turner told the graduates that the principal, teachers and parents have all made a solid contribution to their welfare, which the students will realize later in life. TOO MANY NEGATIVES The speaker said that in per- using newspapers and other media the wayward youth re- ceives more attention than the scholarship winner. There are too many negative qualities en- tering the society in which we live. He stressed the need for people of discernment, knowing what to reject and what to ac- cept; the need for reflective thinking and general stock -tak- ing "on what you wear, what you are, and what you would like to be." Dr. Turner told the students to reflect, have fun, read, love, laugh, give and work.
