Century of service
By Salvation Army
What does it cost? --When a
girl gets off to a wrong start in
life?-- When a man drifts into
heavy drinking and deserts his
family?
When a neighbour takes a
wrong turn in life, it may cost
the public additional dollars in
welfare services to feed and
clothe a family which has no
breadwinner, to provide care
for a baby born out of wedlock.
A boy may start as a school
dropout and wind up a prison
inmate or narcotics addict;his
unproductive life behind bars
costing an enormous sum in
money and misery.
According to Captain A, Fer-
ris of The Salvation Army in
Wingham, the Army claims no
magic cure-all for the world's
mistakes and miseries, but its
program of spiritual guidance
and wholesome activities for
young people and old people,
does contribute to family and
community stability, and thus
helps keep down the cost of
welfare and institutional ser-
vices.
A typical week's activities
at Wingham Corps on Edward
Street includes: Monday night,
beginners band practice and
Ladies' Home League meeting;
Tuesday night, youth Bible stu-
dy and senior prayer and fellow-
ship; Wednesday night, cottage
meetings and personal counsel-
ling service; Thursday night,
senior band practice; Friday
night, youth group; Saturday
night, open air meetings in lo-
cal communities during summer
months and senior fellowship
during winter months. On Sun-
day at 11:00 am, morning ser-
vice; 2:30 p.m., Sunday
School; '7:00 p.m. , evening
service.
There are no statistics on
the subject, but it is a safe bet
that not many young people
(or oldsters) who have found
interesting and purposeful act-
ivities at The Salvation Army,
wind up in police courts, men-
tal hospitals, or jails.
MEET SPIRITUAL NEEDS
Tn addition to preventative
efforts, The Salvation Army
also offers "curative" programs,
meeting spiritual and material
needs. It is national and inter-
national in scope and offers
many services beyond its local
corps activities.
A frightened young girl may
come to The Salvation Army
and pour out her story. She will
be referred to one of the Army's
31 homes and hospitals for un-
wed mothers where she will re-
ceive medical care and be shel-
tered from criticism and curio-
sity.
Throughout the world, Sal-
vation Army officers are wel-
come in jails and correctional
institutions, Thousands of pris-
oners are gaining a new out-
look through Salvation Army
sponsored Bible Study courses.
Officers frequently act as pa-
role advisers when a man has
been released. One of the
Army's aims is to lessen the
cost in human suffering, and
help the individual become a
productive member of society
once again.
When a man hits bottom on
skid row, the Army doesn't
count him as hopeless. Rehab-
ilitation centres are maintained
in leading cities throughout
Canada. A man in need of help
is referred to the nearest centre.
There he is given a fresh start --
clean clothes, counselling and
guidance, the opportunity to
regain sound work habits.
These, and many other ser-
vices are offered cheerfully by
The Salvation Army as it marks
its 100th birthday, "A Century
of Service to God and Man."
Midgets Fight
To the Finish
BELMORE-The Belmore Mid-
gets, though they fought val-
iantly to stay on top, went
down to defeat at the hands of
the Clifford lads 7-6, when the
last game in a best -of -three
series was played on Tuesday
eveningof lastweek in t
hu
arena.
Scorers for Belmore were
Dave Woolcock with three
goals, and singles by Mac Mac-
Leod, Calvin Metcalfe, and
Jim McKague. The winning
team receives the Hay Coal
Company Trophy.
This marks the end of the
regular and playoff season for
Belmore's hockey teams, with
any remaining games beingex-
hibition action. Though many
of the teams did not receive
the support that they deserved
at the arena, we want them to
know that we were behind them
all the way, and are very proud
of the way they fought like
tigers, and so often came home
victorious. But we are especial-
ly proud of the way they lost
like the good sports they are,
and remember, fellas, that's
when it's easy to choose the
real winners!

This week marked the arriv-
al of Spring, or so the calendar
says. But apparently, someone
forgot to tell Spring! It is a
lady's privilege to be late, but
did Winter have to be so mean -
tempered and rough? On Wed-
nesday of last week, the March
winds brought a dandy storm,
with sleet, snow, and in the
midst of it all, a few bright
flashes of lightning. By the end
of the week, it was looking
like January again with the
banks high, the snow blowing
and swirling, and long faces
asking, "What happened to
spring?" Let's hope that by now
the March lamb isre arin
P P
g
for its arrival; it will be a wel-
come sight. High school stu-
dents are up to their necks in
Easter examinations this week.
Cheer up, kids, by the time
spring arrives, you'll be free to
go fishing, and glad this is all
over!

The Big Difference between
a man who displays this
symbol and an insurance
company salesman might
mean hundreds, perhaps
thousands, of dollars in your
pocket.
As an independent insurance
agent, he represents not one
but several insurance com-
panies. He is thus free to choose
the best car, home, or business
insurance for you, to make sure
you are paid both promptly and
fairly when you have a loss. On
the other hand, the services of
an insurance company salesman
usually end when he has sold
you the policy which his par-
ticular company offers.
As independent insurance
agents, we are ready to give
you continuing, personal atten-
tion—The Big Difference in
insurance today. Look for our
Big "I" Symbol ... call on us
for the facts about complete
insurance protection.

Model illustrated: Comet Caliente Convertible, one of the Ford Family of Fine Products, built in Canada.
For outstanding styling, gracious comfort,.
and sparkling performance in a beautiful car
it's Comet!
Comet's best on the road — in every way. Its styling
is beautiful — from the smart vertical headlight
arrangement ... to the clean crisp lines of its rear
deck. Comet's youthful styling says "fun with a touch
of luxury".
Comet's unbeatable in comfort and luxury touches,
too! The interior is beautiful . . and beautifully re-
laxing. You can choose from individually adjustable
bucket seats, or broad roomy bench seats. Both are deep
foam -padded for the most comfortable driving. The
upholstery is beautiful — vinyls, fabrics, plaids and
stripes in high-fashion colours, textures, and patterns.
And on the floor: soft, colour -keyed, loop -yarn nylon
and rayon carpeting. Comet's luxury is obvious and
in the Caliente there are beautiful touches such as
vinyl and foam -padded door panels, distinctive
walnut -toned insets in the instrument panel and
doors and, of course, door -mounted courtesy lights.
You'll suddenly know what performance is when
you drive Comet. It sparkles! You choose either of two
spirited sixes, the zesty 289 V-8, or the fiery Cyclone
V-8 that delivers a powerhouse, 4 -barrel, 225 horse-
power.
For the smoothest ride on the road today, Comet
offers you this choice of transmissions: a silky, 3 -speed
dual range automatic, a 3 -speed manual (fully -syn-
chronized with V -8's),• and a snappy "4 -on -the -floor".
Add Comet's new improved suspension and you have
the ultimate in compact car performance.
You'll love Comet's size. You can stretch your legs
comfortably because Comet's longer. And it's wide
enough to seat six of you easily. Plenty of trunk space
for your grocery parcels or your vacation luggage.
Comet's model selection is terrific. There's a wide
range — all appealing. 2 and 4 -door sedans, hardtops,
wagons, and a startlingly beautiful convertible; 11
handsome models in all — in 4 great series: the value -
packed 202, the 404, the glamorous Caliente and the
amazing Comet Cyclone.
Comet's waiting for you now at your Mercury dea-
ler's. Take a test-drive. Take it soon and prove to
yourself that Comet is the best compact on the road
to -day.
