Boy Gives Speech To Cancer Society Daffodils and yellow mums gave a suitable setting for the open meeting of Wingham Branch of the Canadian Cancer Society Friday evening in the council chambers, Mayor De- Witt Miller welcomed all who attended. Miss Doris Fells introduced the speaker, Dr. W. A. McKib bon, who is medical advisor to the local group, Dr, McKibbon said fear is perhaps the great- est factor in delaying care for cancer patients. Cancer is in- creasing. The moment you feel pain, it may be too late. Research and education are im- portant and must be continued. Some progress has been made. Not too long ago one in four could be cured; now one in three can be cured if treated in time. Advertising must be continued. Dr. McKibbon was thanked by Miss Irene Paton. Bobby McGee, small son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred McGee, a contestant in the public speak- ing contest sponsored by the local school, repeated his ad- dress on the subject "Cancer."

MacNaughton introduced Mrs. Norman Steph- enson of Ethel and Mrs. Her - son Irwin of Belgrave, keywo- Guard Approved Two-Way Radio System Studied Councillor W. G. Cruick- shank, chairman of the execu- tive and police committee of town council, said on Monday evening that the committee recommends the establishment of a two-way radio system for the police force. He explained that the po- lice now have a recorder in the police office that will take in - corning telephone messages. When a call comes in and the constable on duty is out of the office, a red light suspended over the main street, in front of the town hall, is turned on. When the officer on duty sees the light he then goes to the of- fice to take the call. This has proved only a partial help to the problem and as a result council last year approved the installation of a radio -telephone in the car. This has entailed expensive long-distance charges and frequently the system is poor as the radio -telephone base is at Clinton, a distance too far to be operationally sound. Councillor Cruickshank went on to advise council that two-way radio equipment to op- erate on the citizens' band would cost less than $500.00. The only problem is the neces- sity to acquire a base operator for 3.1-110ur duty. Ile said this could well he an excellent op- portunity for an invalid or a husband -wile team, it is im- portant, he went on, to find someone who is completely re- sponsible to handle the work. I le said that a person taking on tete 'task could also likely set up a profitable telephone answer- ing service at the same time. The issue was riot settled, as council felt the committee should get realistic figures on cost. At the same time council also approved 0 committee re- commendation that a crossing guard be hired for the corner of John and Josephine Streets when children are going and coming from school. A recommendation was ap- proved that police officers be paid a day's pay in lieu of statutory holidays when they work on such days. Rainbow Club The Rainbow Club held its regular meeting last Tuesday in the council chambers;when the housewife's creed and the Lord's prayer was repeated at opening. The roll call was ans- wered by 25 members with how many pancakes they eat at the pancake stepper. Minutes were read and found correct. Bingo was played. Arrange- ments were made to hold a euchre on March 12. The host- esses for April will be Mrs. Em- ily Elston, Mrs, Aldin Purdon, Miss Minnie Liukiater and Mrs. Winnie Lott.
