With Which is Amalgamated The Gor*ig Vidette WINGHAM, ONTARIO, THURSDAY nd Wroxeter News. JULY 16th, 1931 BAND TATTOO POSTPONED TO AUGUST 5th MANY BANDS GOOD FIREWORKS - DANCE For various reasons it has been deemed, advisable to postpone the Citizens' Band Tattoo till August 5th. The extra time is giving the coin mittee a better opportunity of put- ting on the type of programme they desire to offer the public. Mr. Herb. Campbell, as Chairman of the Citizens' Band Committee of the Wingham Chamber of Commerce is supported by a large number of committee -men who are anxious to make the event the bestof its kind in the district and who are working hard with that end in view. Profiting by the experience of last year and benefiting by visits to other Tattoos in the district, Wingham will' undoubtedly have a programmer of high average. Not only will the parade and music of the various Bands : be spectacular, but it is intended to insert a suffic- ient amount of variety in the 'pro- gramme to keep interest continually active. Fireworks from the best known Canadian manufacturers of that pro- duct p o duct will be on hand for the occasion and an expert from the factory' will be here to arrange the display and see that it goes on at the propertime. This spectacle alone will be worth the price of admission. The Arena"Co. have again given their 'co-operation to the Chamber of Commerce and at a nominal sum have placed the building at the disposal of the Committee. A dance programme is being organized to take place in the Arena. A good orchestra will be. present, and the young people, fond of dancing, will be given ample op- portunity to enjoy themselves. The. Arena will be used for the Tattoo programme in case of rain, Following the custom of giving big entertainment value for a small ad- mission the Chamber of Commerce have arranged that theadmission per. person be only twenty-five 'cents. In addition a One Hundred Dollar radio will be given as a prize to the holder of the lucky number ticket, Each ticket has a number and a draw will be made on the night of the Tattoo. Yours may be the prize number, be sure and get it early!' Citizens are asked to buy as generously of these tickets as their means will allow. The finances of the Band are at a low ebb and the Band is a community en- terprise and deserves the whole -heart- ed support of our citizens.

Barber, CLINTON DEFEATS WINGHAM 7 TO 6 A closely .contested game of base- ball was 'played in the town park on Tuesday evening, between Clinton. and Wingham, resulting in a win for the visitors by 7 to 6, the locals were leading up to about the last inning. The Wingham team with one ex- ception waseomposedof junior play- ers as objections had been raised by the Bruce. League regarding Geddes, Howson, Somers, Irwin and Brew- ley playing with Teeswater in the Bruce League and Wingham in the. Huron League. At a meeting held by the local fans last week it was felt that it would be unfair to Teeswater,' who have been counting on the services of these men this year, to ask any of them to withdraw from that club ,but rather that they 'finish with 'Teeswater and that their' placesbe filled by junior players. Wingham has the making of a good team with a little careful coach- ing and encouragement from spectat- ors. Naturally junior players :lust breaking into the game are a little timid or over anxious which causes errors, batt the best. pryers at, times do that so why notoverlookthese whenthe ' occur, Let tts 'do our part y p t by encouraging our juniors, andwith such encouragement we feel sure they will make good.

Boyne was held in Blyth on Monday and was greeted with a very wet day,, but for all that there was a crowd o1' over 4,000 present. The cars started coming in early until there was one of the largest crowds that has been. there in years. The procession was formed at Me- morial Hall and marched through the principal streets with the Blyth band leading the procession and although,' it was raining all the time it did not quench their enthusiasm. There were 31 lodges in the parade. After the procession the Oranges men met in the school grounds for the speaking . but it was decided; ere have the speaking in Memorial Hall. where a large :crowd gathered, Corns- ty Master Charles Stewart acted as chairman and called on Reeve' Cutts who welcomed the order to the vile lage. Rev. Ward Waite of Toronto, past grand master, said children should be taught only the English language. He flayed the Communist doctrine fon distributing their propoganda to the children in the schools. He stated. the newspaper of today had more in- fluence than the Bible and that they should uplift the people. Rev. Mr. Capper of Mitchell also spoke and condemned the Communis- tic doctrine. He condemned the idea of changing the Union Jack, which the Orange Order had always stood. behind. J. W. Carson of .London, grand master of the Black Knights of Western Ontario, declared celebra- tions were necessary as, a reminder of the Battle of the Boyne and the, noble Christian spirit of Prince Wil- liam of Orange, who was a great statesman and soldier. He 'contended the order was needed more now than in the past 200 years. Some of the best members of Parliament were members of the order, in his opinion. George Spotton, M.P. for' North. Huron, gave a short address. ,fie thought that all Protestant ministers shold belong to the order. He reco- mmended that the poem "Its an Old Piece of Bunting" should be taught to all children. He claimed the order was looked on in a different light by the Knights of Columbus than it kr- mer years. He lauded the provinces of Canada and thought the people should withhold their criticism at this. time of stress and all work together for Canada's good. Robert White, past grand master ai Toronto, stated his hearers belonged ; to one of the greatest orders in the world and it was an honor to be as- sociated with such men. .He condem- ned the high school history and he thought the sisters of the order, were doing a great work in contributing $2,000,000 to the care of children.
