IN THE EDITOR'S MAIL Box 390 Dear Sir: In reference to the letter to council in early March, may we express our opinion regard- ing sewers. In regard to sewers for North Wingham, we are strongly in favor. Knowing the difficul- ties and hardships of maintain- ing septic tanks, they certain- ly create a problem. Our pers- onal opinion is that septic tanks are anything but sanitary and therefore should be abolish- ed in any town limits. We feel that if sewers are not extended to the north side of town, Wing - ham will not and cannot ex- pand. The town's population has not increased in the past thirteen years, which would certainly indicate the neces- sity for sewers throughout the entire community. Our opinion is that this pro- ject could be financed by the debenture method and include the entire town as a whole. Everyone concerned should be taxed equally according to their frontage. We sincerely hope that council will come up with some solution to this urgent problem in the near future. Yours truly, Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Richey Man: A friend of mine has a purple thumb. Lady: How can that be? Man: He's a near-sighted carpenter.

George has taken up employment at Stratford and expects to move there shortly. John Strong also pre- sented Mr. Brooks with a gift on Kinsmen Talk On Housing Meeting at the Scout House last week the local Kinsmen Club had a discussion on low - rental housing for the commu- nity. It was pointed out that a survey of the problem had been made some time ago, and the results were negative. Most Kinsmen seemed to be of the opinion that such a project would be worth consideration, and a committee was set up to look into the subject. The club donated $25.00 to the Wingham and District High School to assist with a science fair which will be held at the school on April 21 and 22. Some 18 area high schools will participate. The meeting also decided to purchase three new Canadian flags for the I3oy Scout Associa- tion. 'I'Itc Scouts and Cubs are sponsored by the club. On Friday evening seven couples from the club attended the charter night of the Port El- gin Kinsmen Club, which had been sponsored by the Kincar- dine organization.

Mr. King is Principal of the National f3usi- ness Colleges in Hamilton and Brantford and was one of the. early graduates of the Spotton Business College, Clinton. Mr. R. A. Taylor, who has been a resident of Wingham for the past seven years, has purchased a farm in Ilowick and has moved onto same.

MARCH 1929 A party of about 20 young people drove down to Bluevale to a dance on Wednesday, but when they started on the return journey home, they found an altogether different tune. The horses floundered around in the deep snow and finally quit a short distance out, so the young people returned to the hall till morning. Kindly disposed peo- ple provided them with break- fast and they whiled away the time waiting for a train, which finally reached our suburb about 8 o'clock at night. Now, in certain quarters it is not con- sidered polite to ask these young people anything about snowdrifts and Bluevale dances. The C.P.R. morning train only got about a mile from Teeswater station when it stuck in a snow bank and remained there all day, till a plow from down the line cleared the track. Canadian National trains got through although the train from Toronto was some hours late. Capt.

MARCH 1951 The public school board is faced with a serious problem in planning for sufficient accom- modation at the school. A sur- vey, conducted by the town, shows that the public school population in five years will be 498 pupils. The present accom- modation is worked to capacity with only 333 children in atten- dance.
