SOFTBALL GAMES
The Wroxeter softball teams, girls
and boys, played the Gorrie teams in
Gorrie last Tuesday night, Wroxeter
winning both games by a good mar-
gin.,
Friday night the Salem boys' team
played the Wroxeter team in Wrox--
eter, the latter team winning.
On Saturday night the Wingham
girls played the Wroxeter girls' team
here. Wroxeter won.
The standing of ' the Wroxeter
teams at present is:
anile square, but what it lacks in area
is offset ,• in height, buildings ranging
from 2p to 40 storeys being quite
common; 'The -building; of these has
resulted in an increase in land 'values
to such an ,extent that anything less
than a ,2o -storey building is not a
py$ng proposition in the district. A
of1.
piece property xao byx o with a
pop y 5 w
sernt-obsolete building of five: storeys
would sell lot perhapsa cool million
or more. The erection of so many
high building's, too, has the effect of
increasing traffic congestion which,
has become a serious problem,: espec-
ially during the rush hours morning,
and evening, when people are going
to and from work or places of busi-
ness. One building (Marshall Field
Annex) contains the offices of 600
dot:tors and dentists. The growth of
the city in the last few years has been
phenomenal, dtie to the influx of mean-
ufacturers of various lines, who find
Chicago, from. its geographical posi-
tion, a desirable location. With apol-
ogies to, and for the benefit of those
who voted wrong in the';last Domin-
ion elections, I may say it is generally
recognized that the great industrial
expansion of the U.S. in recent years.
is chiefly due to the system of high
protective tariffs prevailing since the
advent of the McKinley Bill of 1890.
A great deal has been ,said„about
the exodus of Canadians, but it may
not b 4,o serious after all. In conver
sation with a plan on the subject, he
suggested that perhaps they were
killing ecah other off so fast on the
other side, they were eQ1119elled tp
import Canadians to take their.place•
It has been generally believed that
the growth of population in the: Uni-
ted States, has been at a much great-
er ratio than in Canada, but figures
appear to disprove that assumption.
According to history, Canada had in
1812, a population. of 250,000, while
the U.S. had, 8,000,000. With the pres-
ent population of p,000,000,' Canada
has increased the number of inhabi-
tants e,600; per cent, so that with a
corresponding increase, Uncle Sani
should have now a population of 288,-
000,000, instead of the measly iib,000,-
000 he is . credited' with.
Spring is unusually late in the west
this year, but it is not considered a
bad omen, as in foriner years a late
spring has been usually the forerun-
ner of a good crop. Though there is
no boom here, Edmonton keeps groiv-
ing, over 300 building permits having
been issued since the first of the year.
In closing I wish to express my
bset wishes for the prosperity of
Wingham and surrounding country,
not forgetting the Advance -Times in
particular.

CHESLEY GIRL DROWNED
Driver and Another Companion Able
to Scramble to Safety
Burks Falls, June x3.—Miss Blanche
Ross, teacher at the Axe Lake school,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Ross
"of Chesley, was drowned in the Mag
netawan river, four 'miles west of
here, at dusk last night, when Alex.
Cripps, young farmer with whom she
was motoring, drove his car through
an open bridge and into eight feet of,
water.
Cripps and another girl companion,
Freda Smith, scrambled to the shore,
but Miss Ross, believed to have been.
stunned in the fall of the car, sank
from sight. Her body was not recov-
ered ' until two hours later, although
rescuers worked frantically to locate
her.
Cripps was placed under arrest, but
since has been released on bail. Dr,,..
Barber ordered an inquest The jur-
ors viewed the body today, and will
reassemble -a week from tonight.
Cripps claims, it is said, . that he did
not see the bridge lights. The pass-
ing of a boat a few .minutes earlier
had necessitated the swinging of the
bridge,
Miss Ross was a 1925 graduate of
Toronto Normal School. Besides her
parents, she leaves twp brothers, G.
H. Ross, 16o Milverton Bottlevrad,

entered the drawing room leaning on
the arm of her cousin, Mr. Price

march played by Miss Merle Wilson.

blue, navy blue coat with grey fur,
and sand, hat, shoes, purse and gloves
