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.

turn of the century
Toronto Dominion bank corner.
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.

Women's rights and laws
discussed at WI meeting
BELMORE — "Laws Pertain-
ing to Women" was the topic of
guest speaker, J. T. 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.
