SPLENDID SHOWING
MADE BY CADETS
Girls Make HithrDanish •Stick
The High School Cadet Corps ha
been undergoing much training Linde'
the direction of their instructor
Lieut. P. 5. Bigelow, in preparation
for the inspection by Major j. Jeff

enbury second in command. •The sec-
tion commanders are, J. Keine, Ken.
Lott Jack Preston and R, Hutton.
There is also a Bugle • Band, sig-
nalling section apd ambulance sec-
tion, which makes the local unit very
complete.
The cadets presented a smart ap-
pearance dressed. in dark trousers and
light shirts. Following the dress in-
spection the platoon marched passed
the saluting base in several forma,
tions and then the sections under
their section commanders gave an
exhibition of section drill.
Dressed in navy blue bloomers,
white blouses with red sashes thirty. -
six girls who had been efficiently
trained by their instructor, Miss H.
M. McGregor, then gave a presenta-
tion of a Danish Stick Dance and the
splendid manner with which the girls
carried on this difficult exercise was
most pleasing to the many who were
present.
• The cadets then gave an exhibition
of Danish exercises. This form of
physical drill is new, having been in-
stituted for the first time this year.
This display was a very pleasing fea-
ture and the snap with which the boys
carried out these exercises speaks
well for the instruction they have re-
ceived and also for the •interest the
boys take in this work.
• Major Jeffries presented a •gold
medal to John Norman for shooting
on the miniature range, he having
won first prize in the D.C.R.A. com-
petition.
Major 'Jeffries was well pleased
with the inspection, as he stated that
the showing made by the boys and
girls this •year was the best he had
witnessed during the five years he
had had the pleasure of carrying on
the inspection. He explained why
these new Danish physical exercises
had been introduced and was highly
satisfied with the progress made in
this department.
That Major Jeffries was so im-
pressed with the progress made must
be •most gratifying to the High
School Board, Principal G. L. Brackenbury, Lieut. P. J. Bigelow and Miss
McGregor, the instructors, and the
parents of the students, also to the
girls and boys who took part in this
pleasing demonstration.
Following the inspection the Cadet
Corps, headed by the bugle band,
araded down town.

Will Try Out With Teeswater
Teeswater have entered at team in
the Bruce Senior Baseball League

is of more than passing interest to
Wingharn as it is understood four or
five of the local ball -tossers will try
out with this team. This, however,
will not interfere with the local boys
lining up with the Lakeside League
here as the Lakeside League is not
connected with the 0.13.A.A.
Car Damages Golf Course
Last Sunday afternoon three local
rnen motored out to the Alps Golf
Course and •acted in a manner that
is hard to understand. Not content
to, drive about the roads of. the golf
course, the car was driven over the
fairways and across two of the
greens, doing considerable damage
and frightening several people who
were -enjoying a game at the thne. It
is a shame that people who carry on
so foolishly are allowed to get away
with such foolishness and destruction
of property.

SPLENDID MEETING
OF 13. Y. W. M. C/RICLE
On Friday evening, May 12th, a
Missionary Travelogue was presented
•by the Young Women's Mission Cir-
cle of the John Street Baptist Church
under the direction of Mrs. E, •C.
Smith, the pastor's wife,
Five of the classrooms were ar-
ranged to represent five different
countries—Japan, China, India, Afri-
ca and Bolivia. The visitors were di-
vided into groups of seven, and these
grounds were conducted by a guide
on a tour of the above-mentioned
lands. In each country, a Circle
member, in native costume, describ-
ed the manners and customs of the
people, their daily life and habits, and
their response to the. Message which
is brought to them by missionaries.
At the end of the joarney, the tra-
yellers gathered in the main Sunday
School room where they listened. to
a sketch entitled "The Three Graces"
given by members of the Circle. This
pictured the hopeless unhappy con-
dition of the women and children of
the world as they are exposed to the
ras>ages of Ignorance, Disease and
S:n. Christian Education and Christ-
ian Healing each in turn try to win
them and help them, but without suc-
cess. Then comes evangelism, bear-
ing the cross of Christ with its mes-
sage of forgiveness and hope, and
the women of the world are won by
the story of Jesus and His love.
Christian Education and Christian
Healing take their places by the side
of Evangelism, and the Three Graces
pledge themselves to work together
to bring about better conditions for
their needy sisters.
Considering the inclement weather,
the meeting was well -attended, and
the programme was both interesting
and instructive.
The standard bred Trotting Stal-
lion Admiral Abdul by Letanna S.,
has been brought up from Southern
Ontario by E. G. Plum, of Brussels,
and should prove a worthy successor
to his sire, who lelr. Plum had in

sult of Broadcast
"Doc." Cruikshank has often re-

R Bain, Whangainoxnone, Taranaki,
New Zealand, that he had heard the
cIl 10BP and, also the word Wing -
ham mentioned. Mr. Bain had tuned
in station 1195 KC about 9 p.tn. (5
a.m. our tune) on the 25th of Feb-
rwary, when he heard the signals, He
said that due to very bad iftterferen-
ce at that particular time 'he could
get little more of the broadcast.
• On checking over the log at 10BP
it was foetid that • at that tine the
station was having a test. As the
crow flies, New Zealand is 8,900
miles away, so that it was no wonder
that Mr. Cruikshank was surprised on
receiving this • message • front Mr.

broadcast in New Zealand was a 4 -

Mr. 13ein is a rallevaes employee in
