Today's simplified box-type Ca- nieras with built-in flash holders are so easy to Use that you simply aim and shoot.

Curtailment ofunit tr in-in is no longer the subject of discussion. In- stead militia commanding officers welcome the announcement that authorization has come through to increase the number of training days. The total has • been boosted from 40 to 45 which, for militiamen actually means an increase of 10, as two nightly sessions are required to represent one y . -day. ,Lieut.-Col. M. R.

The history of the past -.three years would lead one to believe that Wingham is be- ing spared- a great many of the woes which normally accompany civic de- velopment. In the almost eight years that your writer has been attending meet- ings Iii this town he has heard not (Mee, but hundreds of times, the ex- presecl longing for a new and very large industry in the community. Though the exact words may not have been spoken, the cry for an in- dustry expressed not only the wish for more employment, but the taken- 'or granted growth in all community facilities and services which would necessarily follow in the footsteps of industrial enlargement. IR.eacling back through the •files of The Advance and The Times, as we - do almost every week; we find that there- has never been a "boom" pe- riod in Wingham. Its development from ;countryside to village, from hamlet to town,:was gradual. As a THE TIME HAS COME Sinee thiS editorial is written be- fore Friday evening's public. meeting, we are speaking without the benefit of public opinion. Ndnetheless • it is our opinion that the time has come, with no furthir delay, to build a swimming pool in this town. , Sure, the river was good enough for Dad and Grandad. Perhaps there Were three drownings every year and a half in the old days too;. Life 'must have' been cheaper in those times, for, typhoid, tuberculosis, scar- let fever and a dozen and one other plagues were accepted as. inevitable. 'Today we are armed with broader linoVvledge, and, thank God, more tender conscience. { :When Mother was a girl her folks deemed it indecent that she should bathe in a costume which left elcp.osed any more than her arms (below the elbow-s) and her • legs (below• the knees): ,Now .we have upped the value of human life, at the expense of ‘false modesty, and most •of• -us are convinced that our daughters (and sons) Should learn-to swim' while they are young enough; to do so, as -the best form, of person- al insurance against drnwning. Whither or'ifot *thiS • cOnlimunity Will undertake construction of a comparatively costly swimming pool We cannot predict at this premature date, But surely a district which can afford three-quarters of a mil- lion dollars for high school facilities, plus half a million dollars for hos- pital, - and another quarter of a million for public school' additions, is not going to quibble over the com- paratively small expenditure requir- ' ed fora proper and safe swimming place. While were on the subject, lees not forget that a pool is. not the be- an and end-all of the water safety factor here, Though it will definite- ly keep most of the young swimmers away from the river, most of the hazards which existed last year and the year before around our dams and mill races are still there in all their evil glory. We still need fences, guardrails, and whatever else can be provided to protect our youngsters: "No Trespassing" signs won't frfake any of us sleep easily after the next drowning, The NIVingliatn Advancvirimet Published at Wingtiark Ontario WiShiret Brothers, Ptiblieheirit, W..B'arry Wenger, tditoir Member Audit iiiiteAti Of olftstilatinii lialtherized becorid Mafia lkititit POttt Office' Deitt.- rialte Oile It eat Zt.tik Fink Matitto $1,50 fih ikivithea At, A. 44.00 per yeio 0"optint 14,00 Ater oat Aikorthint /teat "on 1lppliditloii result, many of its citizens have be- come convinced over the years that nothing big ever happens in Wing- bam. Its home-owners are fearful of investment; its merchants are wary of overstocking and over-advertis- ing; its municipal leaders are cau-, tious about tax-supported spending; T.o be perfectly frank we- must ad- mit to a certain element of caution ourselves,' We are inclined to be openly suspicious of commitments, 'either private or publio,•where the source of ,all-needed revenue is not at once apparent. Because of this attitude (which, of course, indicates lack of faith in oneself, one's fellows and one's town) it has been a revelation and an inspiration to an American firm to enter this community and in less than three_ years give full evidence of a faith in our future which we who have fashioned it, fail to hold. Man's destiny; individual and col- lective, has always posed the unan- swerable problem—but 'there is more light on the future today than has ever ,been the case in the past. There seems to be no sound basis at the present time to fear a major or, permanent financial "depression", at least in the 'terms which are all too familiar to those of us who exper- ienced the last one. The historical fact that Wingham has never been a booM town -bears with it the equally obvious truth that it has never hit the lowest level of any ,slump. It would, therefore, he reasdnably safe to 'assume • that we can count on sound and steady de- velopment for -many years to come.

REALLY MESSY . Perhaps yours-truly is in a nasty mood this week. Things seem to.be all over the place: However, one of the problems we-have heard discus- sed at, council meetings year after year is the sloppy condition of the main street as a result •of the litter- ing,„habits of those- who work and shop in our business section. This year a great big, rough old by-law 'yvas, passed to threaten all and sundry into putting their, cigar- ette packages, gum wrappers -and soiled Kleenex into the waste cans which the Lions have thoughtfully placed along the curbs. There was only one thing wrong with the by-law; . . it didn't work. The main street, particularly on Monday morning, is just about the same as before. As one councillor remarked, "Are you going to fine every kid who throws a Popsicle wrapper on the street ?' The approach is patently unreal- istic. When you have company in your home you hardly expect to find' the place maculate when they leave,• Guests leave a little comfnotion be- hind them and all worthwhile hosts gladly accept the task ofstraighten- ing away when they are gone. The Sunday morning muss 'along the main street results largelY from an tibtatlal number of visitors to Wfrighaill—most of whom were bent on spending money in our business section, Isn't it° about time we stopped yarping about the matter. • teas get • out the municipal broom every morning' and keep our house in order.
