to T. S. Beattie by the W.P.S.B. in the
centennial year 1967, in recognition of
your 25th anniversary as principal."—A.T.
ME RIDING
Principal of the Wingham
Public School, T, Stewart Beat-
tie, was honored by the school
board during its regular meet-
ing on Monday evening, when
he was presented with a desk
set. The gift was in apprecia-
tion of his 25 years of service
as principal of the school.
In making the presentation,
Scott Reid, past chairman of
the board said, "We feel it
would be remiss if the board did
not acknowledge your 25 years
of service to the community.
You have seen many little tykes
start school, and later leave,
and you have a record of turn-
ing out good students. As a
token of our esteem we ask you
to accept this gift."
Mr. Beattie thanked the
board for the gift and said, "I
never dreamed of anything like
this." He said he was proud to
have been associated with the
school during its year of expan-
sion, from the time the old
school was the only facility to
the present fine building which
stands today.
WINTER COURSE
Chairman William Harris
told the board that the Depart-
ment of Education is enthused
with the winter course and its
acceptance by area teachers.
Attendance has been set at 110,
He later asked Mr. Beattie to
set up a committee to decide
when winter weather conditions
warrant calling off the Saturday
classes.
The chairman also com -
mented that new drapes for the
stage have added a great deal
to that facility.
Mr. Harris said several peo-
ple had asked about the amount
of time the children have in
the gymnasium. Mr. Beattie
reported that each class has one
period a week in the gym. He
said something would have to
be dropped from normal stud-
ies if any more time was spent
in the gym.
Lorne McDonald asked wheth-
er or not there have been in-
quiries regarding the use of the
gym by the public. Mr. Harris
replied that there will likely be
interest shown as soon as the
new recreation director arrives.
Chairman Harris reported
that a meeting will be held Oc-
tober 26th at the Wingham
school, with members of nine
other school boards to discuss
the establishment of French
classes in the elementary
schools. The suggestion has
been made that one teacher
could be engaged to serve more
than one school.
John Currie asked the chair-
man what regular studies would
be dropped if French is taught.
He said, "Don't get me wrong;
I'm not against French, but if
something has to be dropped
when the children use the gym,
then something will have to be
dropped for French."
Mr. Harris said, "This is ex-
actly what this meeting is all
about." The chairman indicat-
ed that he wanted board mem-
bers to ask such questions at the
joint meeting, in an effort to
solve such problems.
Mr. Beattie reported that en-
rolment at the school In Sep-
tember was 464 children and
average daily attendance for
the month was 97.56 per cent.
The chairman said that the
auditorium will be used for a
meeting of area schools for the
retarded on November 13th.
The hoard discussed the prob-
lem of equipment for the kit-
chen and delegated Lorne Mc-
Donald to investigate and make
recommendations.
Mr. Harris said the official
opening of the school had been
held since the last meeting and
he felt it had been a success.
He thanked the board members
for their co-operation. The
board moved a vote of thanks
to Mr. Harris for his efforts on
that occasion.
It was decided that dona-
tions by Andeen Construction
and Harry Posliff, the latter the
guest speaker at the opening,
should be used to purchase per-
manent athletic trophies.
Cars collide
About $700 damage resul-
ted Monday when cars driven by
Robert Richmond, 27, of Brus-
sles and Betty Marie Horsburgh
of R. R. 1 Wingham collided at
the intersection of Josephine
and Scott Streets. Chief Mil-
ler investigated.
Mr. Richmond was driving
a 67 Chevrolet owned by McCu-
tcheon Motors of Brussels while
Miss Horsburgh, 18, was driving
a car belonging to her father,
Stan Horsburgh of R. R.1 Wing-
ham.
Donald C. Nesmith of the
Lloyd-Truax firm and Gary Gib-
son, local contractor have an-
nounced their intention to erect
a 12-unit medium-rental apart-
ment block. The new building
will be located on the south
side of Cornyn Street, cast of
Carling Terrace, and it is ex-
pected that construction will
start in the early spring.
The building, which will
cost in the neighborhood of
$100, 000, will be of very mod-
votes of more than 20 years
ago, before the incumbency of
the late John Hanna.
The vote by polls in Wing-
ham and nearby municipali-
ties was as follows:

Registration down
for night classes
Reporting to the Huron-
Bruce District High School
Board on Thursday evening,
Principal F. E. Madill said that
the response to night school
this year was somewhat dis-
couraging. Only 140 people
turned out for the courses of-
fered.
Seven people registered for
welding; eighteen for work
simplification; two for elect-
ricity; six for conversational
French; 'ten for ladies' physical
fitness; thirteen for upholstering
six for woodworking; millinery,
six advanced, four beginners;
twenty-four for sewing; thirteen
for typing; thirteen for book-
keeping; six for senior typing;
oil painting, advanced seven
and five beginners.
The principal said these
figures indicate that only two
subjects, work simplification
and sewing, can be taught for
sure, as each subject has a
minimum registration require-
ment.
He expressed the hope that
people will still register so
that the other courses can be
held. Registrations in the sub-
jects with low enrolment world
make it possible to proceed.
IN HOSPITAL
Word has been received by
Police Chief Jim Miller that
James Berki, 41-year-old
Whitechurch resident charged
in connection with the stabbing
of two Wingham women in
August, has been certified metr
tally ill and has been commit-
ted to the Ontario Hospital at
Penetang.
ern design and masonry con-
struction will be used through-
out to minimize sound and fire
hazards. Most of the apart-
ments will contain two bed-
rooms, with a few one bed-
room units. Central heating,
automatic laundry facilities and
ample parking space will be
provided.
The three-storey building
has been designed by Allan E.
Jetsop, Toronto architect and
construction will be supervised

'WIN FINAL GA E I0-8
Donnie Murray's seventh
inning grand slam home run
gave Wingham a 10-8 win over
Atwood and the W.O.A.A. Pee
Wee championship last week.
It is the first time a Wingham
Pee Wee team has won the
championship and also the first
by Gary Gibson.
It is anticipated that leasing
of the apartments may be com-
plete before the actual con-
struction is finished next year.
At the present time there is a
keen demand for better-class
apartments, prompted chiefly
by the influx of business man-
agement personnel, teachers,
nurses, etc., so a building of
this kind will be a welcome ad-
dition to the town's housing fa-
cilities.
time the locals have eliminated
Atwood. Two years ago and
last year Arwood edged out our
teams 3 games to 2, both times,
It looked as though they
were going to do it again hold-
ing an 8-4 lead as they went
into the bottom of the sixth,
but the locals seared two runs
on a walk to Bill Brun,
double by Jeff Lockridge and
a single by Murray to make it
8-6%
Then in the seventh aslid
final inning, after reliever
Larry Simmons had held Atwood
scoreless , Brown started toe
locals' rally with a two out
walk, Doug Leitch and Leek-
r Idge "loaded the bases on in-
field singles and Murray pow-
ered a 2 and 1 pitch into deep
right center to capture the
championship.
Members of the champion-
ship team are Donnie Murray,
Ronnie Murray, Boliby Lakose,
Tommy Lee, Bill Brown, Bill
Hilbert, Bruce skinn, Jeff Loci.-
ridge, Doug Leitc h, Larry Sim-
mons, Stephen Tiffin, lean
Gardner (manager), Charlie
Lee (coach) and Bill Kerr
(coach).
Atwood'. pireber, Long,
fanned le but iesuid le walks to
erase what could have been a
brilliaant pitching performance.
Larry Sinemeis, who had
pitched only onu inenagMitt',
to last Wednesday's game, held
Atwood to two h;ts and one run
in the two innings lie worked.
Donnie Murray's hone: itut
was his lt.tlt fat the year and his
second grand slam homer.
Doug Leitch, Jeff Lockridec,
and Murray each had two hit:-
to keep their battle tor the
team's batting title close.
Leitch wound tip on top weth

ALL TEA els TO FINALS
The game marked the end
of the boll season in Wingiain

for our minor league teams.
All four of our minor teams

be prousi of.

Robarts governmenf
returned with
stronger opposition
The Progressive Conserva-
tive government of Premier
John Roberts has been returned
to power as a result of Tues-
day's provincial election, How-
ever, the majority of seats
held by the governing party has
been reduced, chiefly due to
significant gains polled by the
New Democratic Party, At
dissolution the Progressive Con-
servatives held 76 seats; Lib-
erals 21 and NDP 8.
Redistribution since the last
election added 9 seats to those
up for election. Although Wed-
nesday's figures were not quite
final it appeared that the PC's
will hold 70 seats in the new
government; 27 and NDP 20.
With 24 years of government
control behind them, Progres-
sive ConServative majorities
all over the province were re-
duced, some quite sharply.
Two PC cabinet ministers were
defeated amd a few of the vet-
eran PC members were ousted.
Municipal Affairs Minister
Wilfred Spooner lost his seat to
an NDP candidate in Cochrane
and Mines Minister Wardrope
was defeated by a Liberal can-
didate in Port Arthur. Provin-
cial Treasurer Charles Mac-
Naughton was re-elected in
Huron and Agriculture Minister
W. A, Stewart was returned in
Middlesex North. Premier
Robarts led his opponent in Lost'
don North but with a much
lower majority than in the 1963
election, John White, the PC
incumbent from London South
won a resounding victory over
London Mayor Gordon Stronaeh,
running on a Liberal ticket,
J. Fred Edwards of Palmer-,
ston, veteran member of the
Legislature, was defeated by
Hugh Edighoffer, Liberal, of
Mitchell. Eddie Sargent was
elected in Grey-Bruce and Eric
Winkler led in Grey South.
MRS. RACHEL GIBSON
celebrated her 90th birthday
on Tuesday, October 10, et.
Huronview, Clinton. Some
members of her family were
able to be with her for the
occasion while others re-
membered her with gifts and
cards. A birthday cake doe.
orated with "90 Years" was
enjoyed by those present.
