ity surrounded the future of the
militia but this dissipated with the
knowledge that part-time army
personnel are given a two-fold re-
sponsibility in Canada's defence
preparations,
The primary responsibility of the
militia continues to be centre
around reinforcement and support
of the regular Canadian army on
mobilization but with this is added
the foie of assisting civil defence
organizatione, hi coping with einer-
gencies.
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.

Growing pains are not by any
means confined to adolescent hu-
rnall$,- :Towns, cities and nations can
and very often do experience these
pangs of achievement. 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.

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:

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.
We Would.like to make the predic-
tion that a new period of solid ex-
pansion is now opening for this.com-
munity . . a time in which- wise
persons will invest in their town,
particularly where facilities 'for the
younger generation are concerned.,
It-Will take a certain amount of faith
and :Civic patriotism to believe this
•'statement, but the rewards will mean
unending satisfaction for those who
agree.
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
