The stars of"C'esf• Ingham, around The following ianformation has been supplied by , Mrs. Jean (Anderson) Kelly of Wingham: It seems to -me there was an item in •--gThe Advance -Times wanting information in by -gone days. So I am going to endeavor to tell you what I remember about it when I moved to Wing - ham with my parents in 1896. I started to school here. Miss Matheson was my teacher. Others at the time were Miss R ynolds, Miss Farquharson, iM •Brock and, of course, Mr. Musgrove was principal; T can still see him as he used to walk around with the strap rolled up,. behindiiis back: One thing he stressed: was we must never go outside the schoolyard' to play. I have lived in Wingham or within a few miles of it (Bel - grave) most of my life with the exception of a short time in Saskatchewan after my marri- age. My father worked on. the CPR section and we lived in Plea- sant Valley in a house rented from T. A. Mills at 55.00 a month and it was much too large as our family just consisted of two girls. On one side of us was John Dodds. He was married three times and had one daughter, Elva. South of us were people by the name of Woods who later moved out West. McGillivrays lived on one corner and the Rush family in what we called "the tower house". Rose Coventry, a dress- maker, also lived on that street. There were more factories at that time, one just over the CNR railway, west side of Josephine Street and there was a tanner down there also.. The Hm factory was burned and 1 have •. heard my parents talking • of", being in town that day. Today we have only one hotel!,' the Manor, which was formerly the Queens. At that time 'there were in addition, the Brunswick, Leppard's, the National a'4 the' Dinsley House up by the CNR station. My mother supplied Mrs.' Dinsley with butter whew we were on the farm and many other. private customers as well. It was put in crocks or long rolls. I still. picture her pounding it against the side of the butter bowl to get, all the water oust. Now to get down to the stores. f wonder if anyone remembers the huge black bear hung above the front of Homuth & Bowies' store? I still don't know what it stood for. Then there were MacIndoo'sl, and Galbraith's general stores., No readymade clothes except coats at that time. 1Vlatejrial was all in bolts on the shelves. -Stores - were heated with a stove at the back and a few chairs were set; around so the customers could sate and chat if they-wished,kor warm, themselves before going home. We always dealt at Galbraith'= Maggie Galbraith and Agnes Mitchell were clerks and later Della Mitchell was on the staff. We got our groceries at Norman Farquharson's next door. He was a grand chap awl used to visit at our home. He passed away quite young, after which Herb Tudhope was oV. ner. George Mason was on the BtJY NEW CANADA SAVIN BONDS New Canada Savings Bonds -- one of the best things you can do with your money.

He had both floors filled, with a bookstore downstairs and china on the.upper floor. He was a very religious man. I know, for I visited there a lot. On Sunday he would take his hand organ out to Tipling's bush at the edge of town in the afternoon and sing and preach. I don't know what he would think of the way the Sab- bath Day is kept now. The post office was on the west side of main street, not far from the south end, I believe. Mr. Fisher was the postmaster and his daughter and Miss Cummings were clerks. Then there was McKelvie's' restaurant and Moore's; Munshaw, jeweler; Nelson Griffin, grocer; Patti - son's flour and feed and Billie Patterson, watchmaker. Beck- with was the baker. Mr. Rush had a small grocery store and we generally bought our candy there. A copper would buy a small three -cornered bag and we patronized Mrs. Grisdale for ice cream as she was more liberal than the rest. A. L. Hamiltonhad a drug store on the.corner of Patrick and main streets and resided in the rooms at the back. On the Stone Block corner was Mr:. Bugg's tin shop as it was called then. T. A. Mills had a general store as did George King. My father always sold his wool to Mr. Hing. He was a good 'salesman, always looking for business. Miss Graham will be remem- bered by , some. Her store was small. A few dishes and 'grocer- ies. I think she specialized in cheese. Her store was up beside our present post. office. One I almost forgot to mention was Hutchison's. She was a short, \ stout woman and he was -quite thin. I think Mr. and Mrs. Christie bought that grocery. Art and Free Carr had the grist mill. • Miss McPherson had a grocery 'store and D. M. Gordon, dry goods. I think that pretty much takes care of what I know. No doubt I have made some mistakes but at least I have had some amuse- ment out of doing this and I hope as the older folks who read it will bring back some memories of by- gone days. .:;.,1 :;4s.L L Whitechurch News On Monday Mr. and Mrs. P.

Goodall, at the October meeting of the Women's Institute. Jack Goodall is no stranger to the area, having enjoyed roller skating and curling in the Bel - more arena. Reference was made to Statis- tics 1974: women control 70 per cent of this county's wealth, 40 per cent of real estate, 50 per cent of stock industrial, 85 per cent of family income; 92 per cent of labor-saving devices are pur- chased by women ; they make up 65 per cent of church members and attendance. They are principally responsible for ed- ucation of our youth. Since Premier Davis has recently appointed three ladies to cabinet posts, further protection of women's laws may follow. The speaker made special reference to Acts pertaining to dower, marriages, partition, wills and partnership. Questions from the audience were all clearly answered, add- ing to the interest of all present. Mrs. Norman Newans, con- vener of the meeting, thanked Mr. Goodall and presented him with a small gift in appreciation of his effort. Plans were made. to attend the fall rally in Whitechurch Thurs- day, October 16, and for dele- gates to attend the area conven- tion at Westside United Church, November 3 and 4. It was agreed to make a dona- tion toward the cost of the recently drilled well at the arena, and also toward the installation of a washroom in the hall. A window, from the kitchen to the ice surface, will also be com- pleted. , A social time followed, with Mrs. Newans, Mrs, Johann and Mrs. Jackson as hostesses. READ THE ADVANCE -TIMES
