Here in Belmore, we didn't like it any better than anyone else, for we were almost completely isolated on Thursday and Friday. School • was cancelled both days and buses from Wingham District High School failed to make their rounds. Rural mailmen got an unexpected holiday, too, During Thursday, it was hard to see the end of your nose at times, and shovellers found that no matter how quickly they were moving, their work was being 'undone' and their • • • • • • 4 4 • • a RED CROSS IS ALWAYS THERE WITNYOUR HELP •:E !•'};'fig;`>':::....,..r,:• i�..r........r.r v.:•:•I paths were filling in behind them! By Friday night the skies were clear, but the damage had been done and most con- cessions were blocked, with plows making their rounds in the wee small hours of the morning, Speaking to some old Om-, ers, they agreed, "It's just the kind of storm we used to get in the good of days!" The weather also forced cancellation of the big winter event, the Ice Carnival, which was scheduled for Saturday eve- ning. It is now slated to be held Friday evening, March 12, weather permitting! LISTEN AND LEARN In the Philippines, 3,000 isolated villages without elec- tricity have received transistor radios from CARE, so the peo- ple can listen to special rural information and education pro- grams. Each radio is a $40 package subscribed through CARE of Canada, Ottawa. /10 DRIVING IS A PLEASURE WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING SMOOTH It's no fun getting around in a car that sounds like it may quit on you at any time. It's un- necessary, too. A thorough check-up by our skilled mechanics will give you a vehicle that's pleasing to drive.

Times have chang- ed, however, in that by Monday hard work- ing town crews had the big banks hauled away and the parking meters were back in use. —Advance -Times Photo. !Kingham Advance 'Tittles, Thursday, Mar. 4, 1966 - Page S Fordwich Personals Mr, Robert Gibson spent a couple of days last week in.

BELMORE-Take a little piece of land, add some trees, and in summer some flowers, a lake and a stream, Stir in 24 houses with flowered curtains, open doors, and friendly people. These will mix beautifully. Toss in two churches, one school, a few unoccupied houses, barns, sheds, garages, a sawmill, a chopping mill, three business places, a large arena, and a dance hall. For good measure, add "ninety odd" people, sprin- kle in a few dogs and cats, and you have a little hamlet called Belmore. Belmore is a friendly little place, the kind of community where everyone speaks to his neighbour and everyone knows not only who beats his wife, but also why! The trouble is, now he can even be seen doing it ! For Belmore has acquired new By Lavonne Ballagh status with the installation of its first street lights. Gone are the good old days of "Walking Your Baby Back Home, By The Light of The Silvery Moon". Gone are happy Hallowe'en nights of lugging foreign objects onto local roofs in the spooky darkness. Gone, in fact, is all the hanky-panky that went on in Belmore until now. We have street lights, and we may be being watched! It is not only Belmore's "ninety odd" people that make it unique. This is probably the only hamlet around that is chop- ped neatly into quarters, boast- ing four different townships-- Turnberry and Culross on the west, and Howick and Carrick on the east. It also separates Huron and Bruce Counties. In October of last year,one single street light was erected ayed,A4 \\A Wh WORK PANTS , and WORK SHIRTS THE WORK CLOTHES THAT LAUGH AT HARD WEAR • Extra Strength Extra Comfort • Reinforced Crotch Won't Rip • Extra Heavy Foot Deep Pockets • Exclusive Heavy Sanforized Drill Waist Band • Vat Dyed Color Will Not Fade • Satisfaction and Quality Guaranteed TAILORED for CASUAL and UTILITY WEAR ready for a pretty spring...

On Monday of last week, the switch was pulled and Belmore was well on its way toward becoming the Broadway of Western Ontario. There are a few advan- tages beside the fact that it brings us new prestige. No long- er do our housewives find itnec- essary to bring Rin Tin Tin when they come 'downtown' for aloaf of bread. Nor do our young fry have to occupy pocket space that should be left for jelly beans, with a flashlight, so they can find their way home from skating or hockey. Our ambitious farmers will now be able to wor k in the fields from dusk until dawn, with the aid of the village lights! And at last, our young Casanovas will be able to see " The Yes, Yes in Her Eyes" when they pop the question! Best of all, our fifteen lights will be a beacon to the tired, lonely driver when black pavement becomes monotonous. Before this, only the 'Drive Slowly' sign could have been a warning that there was some- thing nestled in these four cor- ners. And of course, if you didn't heed the sign, you no doubt completely missed our gorgeous little oasis. The jet age, the age of progress is here. It will only be a matter of time before our streets have names, and we erect a theatre, a few depart- ment stores, a bank and of course, a rocket -launching site, When the people of Belmore put their minds to something, there's no holding them back! Come visit our little ham- let. But please, come at night so we may proudly show you our new additions!
