With the water situation as it is in Wroxeter (as ae many rural points) the delay of even two or three minutes might have caused the complete loss of one or more buildings. Those who drive behind the fire truck should also observe greater caution and keep a healthy distance to the rear. Some 85 cars piled up behind the fire truck on Friday, An elderly woman had just reached the ripe age of 103 years and was being interview- ed by a reporter from the local newspaper. He asked the usual question, "How does it happen that you have lived to be over 100" "Well," replied the wo- man, "it's because I never rocked any of our eight child- ren to sleep, never washed any dishes, never cleaned the house nor did my laundry. My hus- band did that, Heaven rest his soul; He passed away at 48." Fuller family honored at Sun ay service. Sunday morning service at St, Paul's Anglican Church prove ed a special occasion in the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Fuller and family. During the service, which was attended by Cubs, Scouts and Venturers and their leaders, Rev, C. F, Johnaon,forrner tee , tor of St, Paul's, presented the Religion and Life Award to Ven- turer William Fuller. Mr. John- son took time to outline the tre- mendous range of religious in- formation which Rill had to mae• ter before he could try the 12 test papers required. Mr. John- son said that he purposely made the tests as stiff as possible, be- cause the entire purpose of the award would be violated if it were made easy. Bill's record was extremely high, missing on- ly part of one question in allthe tests, The Cubs, Scouts and Ven- turers paraded into the church in a body, headed by their color party, Cub James Ritter, Scout Terry Reid, and Venturer Bruce Henry, who deposited the flags in the sanctuary where they were received by the rector, Rev, II, W. Hamilton. Brian Deyell carried the church flag. The first Scripture lesson was read by Cubmaster Norman Shepherd and the second by the Assistant Cubmistress Mrs. Don Lloyd. Soloist for the choir anthem was Miss Mary Ahara. The offertory was received by Donald Shropshall, Ian Shep- herd, Ted Ahara and William Fuller. Following service the cong- regation gathered in the parish room for coffee and cookies and presentation of an engraved sil- ver tray to Mr. and Mrs. Her- bert Fuller and family who are moving to Lions Head, The church wardens, Norman Dey- ell and Terry Nethery made the presentation, the former ex- pressing the regret of friends here at the departure of the Fuller family and the good wishes of all for their happiness in their new home. Both Mr. and Mrs. Fuller spoke their sin- cere appreciation to the old friends in St. Paul's for their good wishes. Before the gathering dispers- ed Mr. Hamilton introduced Mr. Ofosu Appiah of Accra, Ghana, Africa, a member of the Angli- can faith who had worshiped with the parishioners of St. Paul's that day. Mr. Appiah spoke briefly of his work as dir- ector of educational broadcast- ing in his native land. (Continued from Page One) COMMITTEES Councillor G. W. Cruick- shank said the equipment for the two-way police radio will be installed this week. He also said there have been a number of complaints from citizens about speeding on the Hanna Bridge. He recommended that the police be authorized to rent a radar set from Harriston as a control measure. Council agreed, Council discussed the prob- lem of keeping the main street clean, Several members com- plained that the sweeping ma- chine does not do a particularly good job. It was felt that the sweeping should be done by hand and more frequently than once a week. Councillor Williams said it is time something is done about manhole lids that are below the surface of the street. Council- lor Wild said a number were fixed up last year, to which Mr. Williams retorted that there are still a number that need fixing. He concluded by agreeing with a remark that more men should be hired for the spring cleanup work. Councillor Bateson said he will investigate having the gate- house at the ball park painted, He also recommended the re- newal of the Frosty Queen lease, and council approved. Deputy Reeve Jack Alexan- der and Councillor Bennett pro- moted a tree planting program to replace trees that have been removed, and new plantings in the newer areas of the com- munity. They were given per- mission to see what can be done. They recommended smaller decorative trees for some areas. There was comment on the number of trees being removed each year, to which Joe Kerr, who heads the public works de- partment, replied that the town foreman has reported most of the trees removed have been taken down at the request of the P.U.C. and not at the re- quest of the property owners in- volved. Mr, Alexander suggest- ed that most of the trees taken down were not in sound condi- tion. Council decided to ask Lloyd-Truax Ltd. to vacate this month, the old C.P.R. freight sheds, where the com- pany stores doors. It is the in- tention of council to have the sheds torn down as part of the park program. TORONTO MEETING Mayor Miller said that a del- egation had been in Toronto to present a brief to officials of the Department of Education in regard to community colleges. He concluded by saying there is just an outside chance that Wingham will acquire a satellite college. He said, however, that with local politicians from surrounding municipalities on the board of governors it is on- ly an outside chance. The mayor said he had also met with the minister of health in regard to the doctor situa- tion and obtained a promise of assistance in an attempt to ac- quire doctors for the commun- ity. Councillor Williams said he had attended a meeting of MO- DA on regional planning and said he feels•Wingham is being left out of most plans as it is on the edge of the county and on the edge of the planning area. He said he feels MODA is of doubtful value to the commun- ity. Councillor Harold Wild re- ported that a meeting of the Recreation Committee had been held and had been poorly at- tended. He said the recreation director leaves on May 15 and plans are not formulated for the summer program. Some help for the summer has been lined up. He also said there is a prob- lem at the arena with water get- ting under the seating and floor at one end. An attempt will be made to solve the problem by putting asphalt between the sidewalk and the building. Council approved a motion Page S Wingham Advance-gimes, Thursday, May 4, 1967 Trouble brewing for drivers who ignore fire truck The waste of daylight "Do we turn the clock back , ward or forward one hour?" This often perplexing query, which faces millions of people twice a year is, of course, related to the Daylight Saving Time sys- tem, Warne it all on William.

Deputy Reeve Alexander said, this will help out with a tree program. A letter will be sent to the Wingham W.I. for its donation of $50.00 to help finance flow- er pots for the lamp posts again this year. Five building permits amounting to $9, 000 in esti- mated construction were ap- proved.
