Our Mini -State television antenna
looks like a modest, tastefully designed
little flying
saucer. It is only
21" in diametre
and weighs just 6
lbs and comes
complete with
amplifier, rotor
and 60° co -ax
cable. But when
it is comparably located it performs as
well as that big cumbersome, conven-
tional monster you are used to. With its
remote tu.er,-you can zero in on precise
TV reception on any UHF or VHF chan-
nel.

Smorgasbord
for seniors
WROXETER—For their final
meeting of the year, the Wroxeter
Senior Citizens enjoyed a Smorgas-
bord dinner at the Wingham Curl-
ing Club. After dinner they
t eturned to the Wroxeter Hall and
firs. June McEwan gave a report on
the progress that has been made by
the committee on subsidized hous-
ing. There was a good response to
the questionnaire sent out and
many sites have been looked at in
all sections of the township.
A report is being sent to the
province and to local members of
parliament. It is necessary to keep a
constant reminder of the need for
such housing for seniors and low-
income families before our MPP.
Mrs. McEwan asked that each
household write to their member of
parliament, telling of the need for
their co-operation. It takes a long
time and many hours of work to
get results.
Mrs. Eileen .Hamilton read the
minutes of the last meeting and
noted some of the seniors' conven-
tions coming up during the sum-
mer. A motion was made to send a
card of thanks to the Wingham
Curling Club. A vote of thanks to
the Executive was made by all.
Birthday greetings to members cel-
ebrating June birthdays were
acknowledged.
It is hoped the seniors have a
happy summer and are ready for
meetings beginning Oct. 4 with the
usual potluck dinner at noon. Come
join us; you will be most welcome.

CASKET FACTORY
In September of 1901, it was

Wingham to open it.
