HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance, 1911-12-21, Page 1A WORD TO ELECTORS.
On Friday evening, the electore of
Wingbam Will be asked to nominate
suitable persons to serve ait Town
Ocetricillore for 1912, and a word of
reminder may be opportune.
Quite frequently names are eubmit-
ted without consulting the parties es
to their willingness to serve. Other
nemee have been sent in more for
sport than anything else. withoue any
expectatien or even desire that they
should occupy the responsible poeition.
Under such circumetances the result is
a long Jit of nominations, a lot of
resignations' and (it might happen)
not the beetselection in the interest
of the town. .
Even with a full ticket, and carefully
selected, aide issues and petty jealousies
have been known to affect tbe,results.
Hence too much care cannot bp exer-
chant in the chole.
There perhaps never was a time,
when greater care was necessary, or
Vetter men needed, than for 1912. At
present, it appears likely that the
electors will reverse their decision of
three years ago, and do away with the
Conaraission in ebarge of Water and
Electric Light &Mere, If so, the Tewn
has problems before ir, demanding the
very best and most efficient men that
?o
an be found. The question of pure
ater is still unsolved; water -main ily
extensions are desired. The gnestion
of "day -power" is being urged and is a
necessity. The condition of the pump-
ing machinery is anything but satis-
factory, and improvement is impera-
tive. Aside from the ordinary routine,
these questions demand prompt, de-
ciaive action, yet at the same time
experience, caution and good judgment.
Should the Commission be voted out,
the Electric Light and Water eel:anat.
tee of the Council of 1912, ought to be
the very best men the Town can select.
Personally, this paper has no word
of harsh criticiem for the Commis-
sioners. They have not perhaps made
the success, that they, themselves
could have wished, but they have
shouldered an immense lot of work,
and given much titue to the work of
the Town, and their willingness and
work should at least be recognized.
Personally, we believe that the Com-
mission is the proper way to handle
these utilities, but five men would be
Aottei h all that was desired, how can the
r than three. If the Commis -
a ners have not been able to accomp-
Council of 1912 attend to the ordinary
woik of the Town, and the duties of
the Commissioners besides? However,
the By -lave is before the people to
abolish the Commission, and every
voter can please himself, so far as this
paper is concerned.
Such is the situation, and the Ad-
vance suggests to the elector, that
es they approach the duty of nominating
Councillors on Friday evening, with
great care and good judgment, There
never was greater need for a wise
selection.

MEDICAL MEN MEET.
suBsomPTIoN $1:50 To SuencRissits U.N.
81 00 PER Irxsas ADYSIK116
A meeting of the medical men of the
county Of Huron wes held in the
rooms of the Clinton Club on Dec. 13,
1911, and is thus reported, The nor-
polie of the meeting was to revive and
reorganize the Huron Medical Aesoci.
adorn lads Association has been in
existence for more than forty years,
and it has proved or great value to
the medical profession of the county
in a scientific way. It is. expected
that under the new regulations a
greater interest than ever will be
taken in the discussion of subjects
pertaining to the healing art.
.At the meeting by-lawe mite dis-
cussed and adopted and the officers
for the ensuing year appointed. The
meetings of the Association will be
held every three months at Wingham,
Goderich, Clinton and, Seaforth alter-
nately.. Medical men from the ad-
jacene counties are eligible for mem-
bership. Arrangements were made
for the next meeting to be held in
Winghane in Meech Pent -
The transactions of the Clinton
meeting included the consideration
and adoption of a echedule of fees.
The tariff of fees for the County of
Huron has remained the same for
many years, although it has gone up
in every other part, of the peovinec.
It wee noted that drugs and every-
thing connected with a doctor's liv-
ing has nearly doubled of late. If be
employs any kind of labor, or has any
mechanical weak done he pays nearly
double the price be once did. It was
therefore considered abeolutely neces-
sary, that in order to be able to live
and pay his debts, that the schedule of
fees be made to conform somewhat
with that of the other parts of the
province.

Municipal Matters.
There are rumors and rumors about
municipal matters; first a rumor,
then a contradiction. Instead of giv-
ing currency to a lot of funadation-
less street talk about next year's
Council, we prefer to await the action
of the taxpayers at the Nomination.
Then, whoever wishes to stand, let
him run the gauntlet of the ballots.
If he is elected, he will receive no
cash salary, but the honor (?) and at
the end of the term, he will doubtless
be overwhelmed with the sincere
thanks (? ? ?) of the community, he
has endeavored faithfully to serve.
ten% that reward enough?
The King's Private Name.
If the King were to renounce the
Throne, and resolve to become an or-
dinary citizen, be would be called
Mr. George Wettin. How does the
name Wettin come to be King
Georgeai surname? This ie the an -
ewer :-Queen Victoria raarried Al-
bert, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, of
the senior branch of the House of
Saxony. The family name by which
thie house, dating from the middle of
the tenth century, carne to be known
afterwards was Wettin, and this was,
and is the surname of both branches
of the House of Saxony. The name
comes from the castle of Wettin, near
Magdeburg. which claimed Wittekind
as the founder of the race.

A Most Suitable Site.
The very large expense which the
Western Foundry Co. has incurred in
seeming such a large and desirable
site, should be a matter of satisfaction
to the people of Winghara, because it
le an evidence of the permanence of
the industry in our Town. The fol.
lowing properties have been secured -
Three acres lying between McDermott
and Witter Streets, purchased from
Chas. Elliott. Teen on the south side
of McDermott street (proposed to be
(nosed) the following properties :-J.
Cooper's house and three lots; Thos.
Dickson's house and four lots; Robt,
Maxwell's house and two lots, oc-
cupied by Aaron Posliff ; Thos. Ait-
cheson's house and one and one half
lots, occupied by William William-
son. We underetand that the total
cost of these properties was between
five and six thousand dollars, but the
Western Foundry Co. has now, pro-
bably, the largest and best stove
foundry site in the Dominion. These
properties were sold through the real
estate agency of Ritchie & Cosens.
Wolk on the new buildings is being
pushed forward most energetically.

Two BI -Laws.
On Monday, January 1st,, the elec-
tors of Winghataa will have two By-
laws placed before them. One is de-
eigned to abolish the Electric Light
and Water Commission, and on this a
large number have appatently already
made up their minds. The other By-
law asks --"Are you in favor of obtain-
taining from the Ilydeo-Electric Com-
mission, a supply of Electric power?'
The Hydro-Etectric proposes to ex-
tend its lines from Seaforth to Kin-
cardine and beyond, and all that We
By,law asks, is that We favour the
scheme. If the electors say "Vete"
then when the thrie comes, the Court.
cil than existeet may, or may not (as
they please) make a bargain with- the
Hydro -Electric for power,. Even
then, the operation of our oven plant
will not be interfered With in the
leaet. If we have more power than
we need, the Oommission will pur-
chase it; if we were lack, they will
supply it. Voting "Yes" on this By-
law does not commit ne to any ex-
penditure. If we say No the Hydro -
Electric will pass us by, but if We say
Yee, as all prove:we've placee do, the
Comitileeion Will have plats prepared,
showing the cost, etea which the tex-
peyers can accept or reject, Jed as
they please. The places in this north -
Western district that will vote on this
question, are--Wiarton, Paisley, Kin-
cardine, Owen Sound, Oollingwood,
Thornbury, Listowel, Exeter, feruseels,
Hernia% Blyth, Beyfield, Meters,
Gotlericb, Leman, Ailest Craig • and
Winghato. If ail the cheap power
Be -laws now propoted are carried, the
Hydro -Electric Commlitsion will have
oontratts with sixty towaielpalitiett, as
stgeinet fourteen a little more than *
year ago, taking 20,000 horse -power.

road improvement, by orchard demon -
eta Mime, and last of all, by the pur-
chase of a 112 acre farm to be con-
ducted in the interest of its leaders, it
has identified itself in a practical way
with progressive agriculture, and
fairly earned the right in be known
as a paper with the courage of its con-
victions. Its 1011. Christmas Annual

tures, a refreshingly candid account
of the summer's operations in eleven
acres of rented orchards, as well as

One of the most remarkable freeke
of nature imaginable ie to be seen at
the present moment in the Sick Child-
ren's Hospitid, Toronto. A tiny baby
girl, two days Olds lies in a little white

ordinary child, but vvith this differ-
ence, that the heart le outside the
thorax instead of inside. There is
neither ekin nor hone to protect the
vital organ, which is ba,nglog out on
the chest, beating about 100 times a
minute, and quite etrongly, Inc. One

quested to sign them that the reports

Christmae Greetings,
Most sincerely, does the editor of
the Advance express the wish, that
all his readers may enjoy a very
happy Christmas. Our Christmas
editorial was written, but crowded
out, and strange to say the game fate
befell the Christmas sr i. le of last
year. Hence, our briefly expressed
wisb, that all may have a "happy
Ohriitmas," in the best and truest
sense of the phrase, is all we can
find room for.

Carlyle, Sask., Nov. 29, 1911.
Dear Editor :-I read a letter in the
Advance a short time ago, written by
Mr. Johnston telling about the wea-
ther here in the West; it must be dif-
ferent weather where he lives to what
it is here around Carlyle. I do not
find it any colder here than I did
down east. But there are hundreds
of acres of grain not threshed out yet,
but that was on account of wet wea-
ther this fall, but it seems as though
they had wet weather all over. But
we have good weather now for thresh.
ing. We have just enough snow for
eleighing. This is certainly the place
for young people, both girls and boys,
as one can earn far more here in half
the time than they can down there
and have a far better time too. There
are churches and schools here, and not
very far apart either considering the
large farms some people have. .As to
hail storms, there has never been
known to be one, in this neighbor-
hood. There is one thing about this
country, I do not like, it freezes up
too early in the fall, or at least, it did
this fall. Of course do not think I
would allow any one to run down
Wingbatn, because it certainly is
nice little town, but it is not the place
for a poor man. Well I guess 1 will
!ewe to close, wishing you all a Merry
Xmas and Happy New Year.
Youre Truly.
Mrs. Richard Hockridge.
