Under the agreement, the U.S.
Government will have the right to

Government intervene in a wide

New .provincial programs in a.
wide variety of areas will require

to require the Canadian Government

A dramatic.reduction of the ability
of both federal and provincial

a key, finding, of the report. Mr. Scott
explains this will mean that
provincial attempts to respond to the

point out that the agreement is not
just about the specific matter of a

Legion stand on purchase
outlined in letter to council
Dear Editor:
Enclosed is a copy of a letter being
sent to Wingham Town Council
opposing the sale of war memorial
property.
It would be appreciated if you
would publish this in your next issue
so that your readers may know of
our position and serious concern.
Yours truly
Don Farnell
President
Following is the text of that letter:
"Dear Sirs:
"Re: Cenotaph Land. You will
recall that at the May meeting of
council a Legion delegation opposed
the sale of any of the cenotaph
property and requested council to
state clearly that no such land is for
sale. The prospective buyer told
council that he is only interested in
buying an adjacent piece of
property; unrelated to the cenotaph.
Council instructed the finance and
management committee to have a
surveyor's site plan prepared to
clarify the status of land owned by
the town in that area.
At its meeting on May 17, finance
and managemant showed rep-
resentatives of the Legion the
resulting site plan and later
provided copies for examination.
From the site plan it is now clear
hat the town owns only a single
parcel of land at that location. The
arcel is that which is described in
nstrument 7895, an- d which was
urchased from W.F. Vanstone for a
ar memorial. On Aug. 26, 1924, the
land was dedicated by Rev. Capt.
One • player from each of
Wingham's four all-star teams was
presented with a scholarship to the
Centralia Hockey School at the
WMHA banquet. The boys are David
Kieffer, Bantam; Brent Day, Atom;
Ed Haines, PeeWee and Steve Mont-
gomery, Midget. Each boy was
chosen by his team's coaches in the
light cif his performance over the
past season.
KING RESIGNS
After holding office since Oct. 29,
without a majority but trusting to
he support of the Progressives,
Premier MacKenzie King and his
government resigned in July of 1926
after being twice defeated on the
floor of the house. Governor General
Eying called on Rt. Hon. Arthur
Meighen to form a cabinet and he
accepted the task.
t
Edwards of Listowel and the
monument unveiled by Sir Arthur
Currie.
In view of the assurance by every
member of council at your May
meeting that the cenotaph would be
respected and preserved, it is
expected that council will now
announce that the cenotaph lot will
not be cut up for commercial
development.
At a time when it was believed
that there might be surplus land
available in the area which did not
infringe on the cenotaph, the interest
of the prospective buyer could be
understood. However, it is a matter
of concern to learn from the site plan
suppplied, that new lines have been
added to indicate that someone is
still thinking in terms of sale of a
portion of the cenotaph lot even now
that the facts are known.
This matter has been reviewed by
a general meeting of Branch 180 of
the Royal Canadian Legion and we
are still firmly opposed to the sale of
any of the war memorial land.

Reader says
hospital owed
congratulations
Dear Editor:
For the past several days, news of
hospitals being in a deficit position
has hit the headlines.
We citizens of this community
should be thankful, proud and
appreciative of the administrator
and board of directors of our
Wingham and District Hospital.
Not only is it without deficit at the
end of the fiscal year 1987-88, but
with a surplus.
Congratulations for a job well
done!
An interested citizen
