Roger West Reports on
Pool Committee Progress
Nineteen young women,
many from this district, gradu-
ated on Wednesday of last week
from a nursing assistants' course,
conducted for the past ten
months at Wingham and Dis-
trict Hospital. Graduation ex-
ercises were held in the fellow-
ship room of St. Andrew's Pres-
byterian Church before a ca-
pacity audience.
Winners of special awards
included Miss Esther Steckle,

by Mrs. J. W. English for the

Hospital administrator, Mrs.
E. Morrey, advised that re-
cently several major qualifica-
tions have been added to the
course by the Ontario College
of Nursing. She said education-
al standards have been raised
during the past two years. "Reg-
istered nursing assistants now
make it possible for registered
nurses to be directed to intens-
ive care and charge duties,"
she stated.
Speaking for the graduating
class, Mrs. Christine Ball, vale-
dictorian, said "we are proud to
have accomplished what we set
out to do" and voiced thanks
for the instruction and help re-
ceived from the doctors, nurses
and hospital staff.
The keynote address," Where
do we go from here?" was de-
livered by Rev. Gordon L. Fish,
of St. Andrew's Presbyterian
Church.
"You must discipline your-
selves," he told the graduates,
"if you wish to live a full, hap-
py and satisfying life. You
must solve the problem of your

ANOTHER CALENDAR
HAYWIRE--
Speaking as we were last
week about the calendar with
the two Glorious Twelfths this
month, it was drawn to our at-
tention that Mrs. Elmer Walker
also has a problem. While
checking to see what day Rob-
in's birthday would fall on, she
was surprised to find there is no
July 30 on her calendar. We
hope they celebrate the birth-

"You've been given the
ability to possess a vision," he

you some indication of the dir-
ection you should take. Your
religion is a prime essential --
something vital, dynamic and

visited Bill Gerritt's dairy farm
at R. R. 1, Clinton, the site of
the 1966 International Plowing

Wingham district, Bob Hastie's
beef farm at Gorrie.
At the Hassle farm their host
explained that he had been
burned out a year ago,,, A new
farming set-up for raising beef
cattle was carefully planned for
the future with the agricultural
representative for Huron County,
Doug Miles.
Mr. Hastie, who farms 280
acres, explained to his visitors
that he did not have beef cat-
tle at present and planned to
purchase them following com-
pletion of his corn silage.
His new loose housing ar-
rangement was built at an esti-

features automatic feeding
equipment.
In the fall he plans to pur-
chase from 450 to 500 western
cattle in the 450 pound class,
In the spring he will put some
on grass while he finishes the
rest in the loose housing area.
As finished cattle are sold they
will be replaced:
A huge barn, 40 by 120,

Car Is Wrecked in
Hit, Run Crash
The driver of a small Eng-
lish car, Bette Lou Huffman of
Teeswater, was treated for
chest injuries at the Wingham
and District Hospital early Fri-
day morning as the result of a
hit and run accident just east of
Bluevale.
The Huffman car was pro-
ceeding west on No. 87 High-
way when it was struck in the
left rear corner by another ve-
hicle travelling in the same
direction. The Huffman car
went out of control into the
ditch and rolled over several
times. It was completely
wrecked.
The other car did not stop
and the driver was later appre-
hended by Provincial Police
several miles from the scene of
the accident. James Allan
Sharpin of Wroxeter was charg-
ed with failing to remain at the
scene of an accident. His car,
a late model Pontiac, suffered
extensive damage to the right
front corner.

possible way.
The new company will make
it possible for each of the dair-
ies to supply customers with the
products they are now carrying,
plus a few more. The dairy
products will be distributed in
plastic containers and will be
especially developed by a staff
of home economists in test kit-
chens and laboratory. The
services of noted scientistshave
been secured to maintain and
improve the nutritional values
of the products.
The milk continues to be
purchased from local farms, but
will be processed in the large
central processing plant in Bar-
rie, with stress on quality
maintained by double testing
for purity, freshness, richness
and flavor.
The change in the process-
ing set-up will be made by Bate-.
son's Dairy on Saturday of this
week.
Roger West, who heads a
fact finding committee made up'
of representatives of various or-
ganizations in town to investi-
gate cost, sites, construction
and other aspects of the propos-
ed swimming pool, makes the
following report to the public on
the progress made thus far.
"To obtain government •
grants to be applied against the
cost of the swimming pool it is
necessary to utilize the services
of an architect. Hence, a car-
load visited the John Lingwood
Firm in Kitchener on Wednes-
day of last week. Numerous as-
pects of pool construction were
discussed -- cost, size, shape,
equipment and so on.
"As far as a closed-in pool is
concerned, the cost it is felt,
prohibits this now. The last

OPP Detachment

Otterville has been posted to
the Wingham detachment of the
Ontario Provincial Police. He
recently joined the OPP and
completed his training in Tor-

fishing.
mentioned price for an enclosed
structure was $220, 000, and the
architect thought this could be
shaved somewhat.
"This then, leaves us with
two or three outside-pool sites
to consider, and these are be-
ing looked into right now. As a
matter of fact, several prices
are being sought in order to give
the next public meeting the
basis of a final choice in allre-
gards. We expect the next pub-
lic meeting in about one week's
time, and at that meeting the
other members of an actual
swimming pool committee will
be named.
"How is the finance com-
mittee progressing? Exceeding-
ly well! They, too, have met
and their meeting resulted in a
thorough discussion of the var-
ious ways to raise the necessary
dollars.
"The finance committee
hopes to be able to raise the
needed amount through public
subscription over a period of
several years, plus conducting
money-making projects through-
out the remainder of this year
and during the centennial year.
Public subscription would mean
cash donations plus pledges
which could be extended over
a period of two or three years.
"The finance committee is
preparing to swing into action
as soon as plans for the swim-
ming pool have been complet-
ed and approved."
