Or you'll be sure to get `l fright. *Wing Panther will come out And you'll be chased all about, " We're not kidding. The Panth- ers seem to be bustling all about trying to get ready for a bicycle hike and camp -out, I can't say much more about that but Panthers, have you got some - thing fora backache? Did you hear about the-flo?d at Camp Martyn or did your Scout come home like a drown- ed rat? If you were with the Panthers (I don't like to brag) you would not have even known it was raining, because we were dry; the fun was always right around the corner. We were never hungry because of our big, little supply tent filled with food. The dry tent seem- ed warmer and more comfort- able than outside put then in- side there wasn't my fun ex - cept in the evening when pop spilled all over and we roused ourselves to go out and play a game. We were just starting to have fun when W HA.MO , we had to pack up and leave. It was good for the boys who were soaked but to us it was horrify.- ing news. We made the best of it though, by having a feast. Now we are planning other things, and remember to watch out at night for us Panthers. --The Great Panthers Whitechurch News Mr. and Mrs. Amos Martin attended church service at Mill- bank and visited with Mr. and Mrs. Gascho.

Will open. ol Jo tan retarded BY RICHMOND ATKEY A draft bylaw to borrow $40 000 to finance an addition to Robertson Memorial Public School. Goderich, was approv- ed by Huron County Board of Education at its meeting in God- erich last week. The bylaw was prepared by Ontario Muni- cipal Board. Debenture will be for twenty years at an interest rate of 7/ per cent annually. It will be sold to the Ontario Education Capital Aid Corporation, the first bond issue offered by Huron County Board of Education since its inception. It was pointed out that it is ,not necessary to gain approval of the municipality for a school debenture as heretofore. The Goderich addition is nearing completion and will be ready for occupancy in the au- tumn. Ralph E. Smith, super- vising principal of Goderich Public Schools and principal of Victoria School, will act as principal of the expanded school. He will be succeeded at Victoria School by John Kane, now principal of Robert- son School. The Board decided that a school for trainable retarded children be opened in the south- ern part of Huron County as re- commended by the advisory committee. D. J. Cochrane, director of education, stated that retarded children's schools come under the Ontario Department of Ed- ucation. Parents have the right to demand education for their children if there are one or more st:hools for trainable re- tarded children already establi- • shed in the county. " Transportation to .and from either of the existing schools at Goderich, with 12 pupils, and Wingham, with 16 pupils, is too great a distance for chil- dren, " he said. " That is the big problem. " These children have the same rightsas any other child living at more than three miles' distance;'.hepoint ed out. The board may use present facilities at the J. A, D. Mc - Curdy School at Huron Park, Centralia, now opetated by Stephen Township on a part time basis for pre-school chil- dren. Operations would be ex- tended to five days a week from, three .days, witha fuliti.me teacher in charge.

Mr. and Mrs. Victor Gibson 6 decades of hoop welfare service It was during the Boer War, back in 1899, that The Salva- tion Army first commenced its work amongst soldiers on active Service. Mary Murray, laugh -f•• ter :b1 a) Beitish, MiiitaryiGener..: r i al, offeted' her services to The Salvation Army, became an of- ficer in its ranks, and after serv- ice in England was asked to op- en welfare work among t h e British troops in South Africa. With two other young women, Mary journeyed to Cape Town and daring much opposition from themilitary authorities, just as Florence Nightingalehad , in the Crimea War , she over- came all obstacles, and began the ministry of supplying re - freshments to. weary Tommies. No one knows the hardships and snubs the girls endured, but the soldiers loved them, and blessed them for their untiring efforts, often in the dead of night, in providing the.refreshments so sorely needed. The girls moved from camp to camp as the front line went slowly northwards to Pretoria, and their fame spread throughout the whole army. Soldiers' and Sailors' Homes were opened in many o f the world's seaports. World.War I saw an expand- ed effort." Huts were establish- ed at all camps --some right behind the front-line trenches, ambulances and mobile can- teens serviced the troops, and even fully-fledged chaplains were in demand. On April 28th of this year, The Salvation Army in Canada observed thirty year of "Red, Shield War Services" work -- the more completely organized • ministry receiving this n e w name at the outbreak of World War 11,, when the familiar. Red Shield was first used as a copy- righted symbol of 'Salvation Army participation. The sign became familiar to Canadians in all of the war zones as well as in the United Kingdom and Canada, and is stili Widely used today in the work The Army„ does with Canadian troops. in Germany. Veterans of World War II will recall with grati- tude the splendid service rend- ered by the welfare workers, with their smiling faces and their "War Services" uniforms adorned with the welcome Red Shield badge. Canadian troops are grate- ful for The Army's ministry in its canteens in Germany, and with its mobile unit which ac- company the troops on man- oeuvres, and many of them par- ticipated in the 30th anniver- sary celebration in Toronto'. The event coincided with the launching of the 1969 Red Shield Appeal, • Mr. and Mrs. Bob Ca bell and two daughters of Win p and Mr. and Mrs. Ken Lichty and Stephen of Milverton spent • Friday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hibberd.
