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: WINGHAM Gaunt Pym West No, 1 . 136 '7 50 No, 2 110 5 35 No. 3 , 75 No. 4 122 No. 5 93 No. 6 115 No. 7. 105 No. 8 132 Advance 97 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.

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).

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.
