The Wingham Advance-Times, 1967-10-26, Page 3years. I've never met him as
he lives in another town. I see
him at dances but he doesn't
always dance, lake (not his
real name) doesn't even know
I'm alive. I try to look sharp
whenever he's around but he
still doesn't notice me. I al-
ways smile at him but is it im-
proper for a girl to speak first?
Help me.
Secret Admirer
Dear Admirer;
Do you and Jake have mutual
friends? Could you not ask
someone whom you both know
to introduce you?
Once you have been intro-
duced it will be quite proper to
speak toliim, and remember
"keep smiling"; sooner or later
he will notice you.

Your contribution
will help provide
summer holiday
What would you do on your
summer holidays if you were
blind? Would you swim, go
skin diving, water skiing, do
archery, shuffleboard and golf?
You would probably think that
you couldn't. But those are the
activities that 33 district blind
people took in this summer at
the Lake Joseph Recreation
Centre, operated by the Cana-
dian National Institute for the
Blind.
The CNIB Centre is located
near Parry Sound and any blind
person in the province of Ont -
ario may attend. There are
special facilities for the blind,
but more of a structural nature
than the activities themselves.
A three-quarter of a mile path
through the woods has a special
guide rail that allows a totally
blind person to walk by him-
self if he wishes. The swim-
ming area is well guarded and
there is a net dropping from
the line of buoys so that a blind
person cannot swim beyond the
protection.
Cost of attending the Centre
for a one or two-week period
is a nominal price for the blind
individual. It is through your
donation to the CNIB that a
blind person can enjoy the fun
of a summer holiday.

Dear problems:
We don't live in Wingham
but we read your paper. We
hope you can help us.
We would like to know what
you think is a reasonable time
for girls to be in after a dance
that is over at 12 o'clock,
The girls are sixteen. Don't
you agree that 1 to II hours is
reasonable, considering most
young people rush to a crowd-
ed restaurant before going
home?
Also do you think girls
should be allowed to attend
dances out of town and if so
under what circumstances.
Your answer could save a lot of
arguing. Could we hear from
others, both boys and girls on
this subject?
The Early Birds.
Dear Early Birds:
I feel that one hour should
be the maximum for 16-year-
old girls to be in, following a
dance. This should give you
ample time to drive from the
dance and also stop at the res-
taurant. If the restaurant is
that crowded, it should be "Bye
-Bye Birdie" for you.
Let your parents know your
plans. Tell them you plan to
visit a restaurant, BUT you will
be home by one. If you stick
to your promise, I'm sure they
will go along with you.

Dear Problems:
What do you think of eye
make-up for school? My par-
ents are against it.
Plain Face.
Dear Plain Face;
I believe in moderation in
make-up for school. A little
mascara and very little shadow
to highlight your eyes, should
not matter, but I would use it
very sparingly, and perhaps
your parents will compromise.

Scouts meet
On Wednesday, October 18
the weekly Scout meeting was
opened by A.S. M. Brian Cam-
eron and was then turned over
to S.M. Ken Foxton. He in-
vested Ron Orien who had suc-
cessfully completed his Tender-
foot requirements. Rots's father
and sister were in attendance
for the ceremony.
A rodeo race, a wheelbarrow
race and a game of dodge ball
were played.
The name that was chosen
for the farm was "Woodsman's
Paradise".
Two new boys, 'Robert Van-
derWoude and Roger Irvine,
joined the troop. The meeting
closed with a sing song, Scout-
masters' 5 minutes and the
closing ceremonies.
The Scout Troop would like
to thank the fathers who helped
and the townspeople for their
co-operation with our semi-
annual paper drive.

five games this week by defeat-
ing the North Western team 32-
0. Majors were scored for
Wingham by Robert Armstrong,
Peter Snow, Neil Gowing with
Doug Gibson scoring two. One
was converted for two points by
Peter Callan to end the scoring.
Since this is written before
the game with Listowel Wed-
nesday, the last regular game,
we will have to wait until next
week's paper to announce the
results. The Mustangs were
tied for second place after the
win against North Western and a
win Wednesday would give
them a berth in the play-offs,
Golf team
captures crown
BY JIM HENDERSON 12A
Athletics at W.D.H.S. star-
ted off on the right foot this
year when the boys' golf team
captured the Huron-Perth Cham-
pionship. Wind, severe cold
and intermittent showers caused
scores to balloon out of propor-
tion. However, the Wingham
team played consistent golf and
nosed out Listowel for the crown
The team, of Don Rae, Gary
Bauer, Barrie Conron and Jim
Henderson, had a combined
score of 340 which was two less
than Listowel's team total. Al-
though the weather did not co-
Dperate the Wingham boys put
on a fine showing in winning
the school's first championship
of the year.
BY BONNIE WILLIE
Well, the Senior girls' vol-
leyball team has come out on
top again. On Thursday, the
girls travelled to Clinton for an
exhibition tournament where
they placed first, tied with
Goderich and Clinton. There
were four schools competing in
the two divisions. Out of the
four games which Wingham
played they won three which
put them on top.
In the first game Goderich
played Wingham and Goderich
defeated them in the first
match 15-'1, but Wingham
came back to beat them in the
second match 15-8. The final
match was played and Goderich
beat Wingham 15-9 to take
that game.
But that didn't discourage
Wingham for right after playing
Goderich they played three
more matches against Seaforth
and after losing the first match
15-5, came back to take the
next two matches 15-10 and 15-
9 to take that game from under
Seaforth's hat.
Later that day they played a
rough game against the last
year volleyball champions,
Clinton, and in the first match
Wingham defeated them 15-6,
but Clinton couldn't just let us
take them two straight so they
defeated us in the second
match 15-9. We came back
once again to put them out of
that game by defeating them
in the third and deciding match
16-14. This was quite a strug
gle for both teams and it really
took team effort which Wing-
ham must have had to win that
game.
The final game was played
directly after Clinton and Wing-
ham's match and Wingham
played Exeter to defeat them
two straight; the first match 15-
4 and the second match 15-8 to
take their third game.
On November 2nd, we will
travel to Stratford and our P.E.
teacher said we're not,coming
home without the pennant. I,
as captain am proud of our
team. I have confidence in
our girls and I'm sure we will
have the pennant with us when
we return on November 2nd.
Congratulations on your placing
girls, and keep it up.
