Engineers and architects are still looking at ways to repairs section of the roof at the 'F. E. "Madill Secondary School, Winghanf, which was damaged by the heavy snow "load last week. Man charged with theft A 20 -year-old Wingham man will appear in provincial court here Jan. 25 on a charge of break, enter and theft in connection with a break-in at the Riverboat Restaurant last week. Wingham police reported that forced entry was made at the restaurant on Josephine Street during the early hours of last Friday and a quantity of liquor and, cigaretteswas taken. Following investigation, •oq", an has been charged .a portion of the stolen gob has been recovered. However temporary repairs and bracing should see the school through until the spring, Principal Ken Wood said.' The damage was discovered last week when steel girders supportingthe roof over the main . hall started to buckle under the snow load, allowing the roof to split open. Hastily - installed bracing and an extra layer of .roofing material provided tem- porary relief; a more per- manent solution probably will wait until the spring, Mr. Wood said. He noted that section of the roof is 30 years old and the design load then was not as heavy as it is now. Although it has previously had as mph snow on it as it did this year, the architect suggested the damage this year was likely due to fatigue over the years, he said.

This is no small matter, he said, ;because even thoughthe government contributes, 75 per . cent toward the purchase of these things, they still are very expensive. For example, a Bottle drive is a success , seen daylight in three days," The annual Kinsmen -Boy Scout bottle drive was .held last Saturday and ap- proximately $225 was raised for Scouting activities. A special thanks is ex- tended to Jim Barnes for .substituting at the last minute and .doing more than his share, and to Eleanor Ward 'for providing refresh- ments.
