MOTORIST WERE
IN TROUBLE
A two day rain last week put the
roads in a .horrible state, the thor-
ough soaking bringing out the, last of
the frost. In, many spots they were
a shaking mass of mortar, with a thin
stiff covering on top, just enough to
deceive any motorist, One or two
heavy trucks sank down to the body
in these holes, and required the com-
bined efforts of teams and block and
tackle to release thein. Others in
lighter cars found themselves thud up
to the runnini boards and gathered
up a decent supply -of greasy clay in
making their exit from the cars. One
on the•Belgrave road jumped the ditch
landing on a '`fence, but the occupants
escaped injury. The driver turned
quickly to pass 'a fast approaching
car, and his brakes told him in de-
cided manner that they 'functioned,
Considerable damage has been •done

At eight oclock on Tuesday morn-

Victoria street, that completely wreck-,.
ed the interior of the building. Mr.
Templeman had just come to the
workshop at the rear, and talking to
a traveller, when without warning the
place burst into flames: The traveller
got Mr. Templeman out, whois a
cripple, but he insisted on going back
into she room for several suits of
clothes, and received severe burn on
s,,
the face, y, iremen promptly res-
ponded ; to the alarm; and soon
had two strong streams playing on
the building at the front and rear, con-
fining the blaze to this one place;/-
Frorn the dense smoke pouring
from every window, it was impossible
to locate the seat of the fire, or to
save any of the contents. The loss
must be about, complete, for the vol-
ume of water poured into the place
must have saturated everything.

on the contents, and as a result of the
calamity was left in a most unfortu-
nate position, Scarce had the smoke
and steam from the fire died down.

WINGHAM TALENT CONCERT HEARD
WITH PLEASURE LAST WEEK
Though the attendance at the con-
cert in the town hall a week ago re-
ceived very poor recognition from the
public, uteri are two very valid reas-
sons why the hall should have been.
packed. Women's Hospital Auxiliary
are responsible' for a certain financial
obligation to the town hospital, and
deserve every encouragement in their
laudable efforts to assist this neces-
sary institution. Then, they provide -
ea
provide-'
ed:talentof surprising quality, being
local possibly their accomplishments
are not 11
duly appreciated, n-eciated, This is not
unnatural, for ° frequently, outside en-
tertainers attract attention r
t to reas-
ons other than their artistic 'abiliiry, 1
They are from out of town and not'
known so intimately,
In this respect
the high quality of the talent surpris-
ed many, and pleased all.
Dr, Redmond's introductory re-
marks referred to the great need of a.
hospital in a town of the benefit it
p ,
affords to the tinfortnnate sick tend
disabled, and how these institutions
are the development of changed ideas
of caring for the sick, In many cas-
es home nursing, even with the assis-
tance of a trained nurse, cannot be
compared to the benifits derived from
hospital treatment, where everything
that skill and science devises are av-
ailable. The local hospital has had
a creditable career, is doing ,good
work, and the efforts of the 'staff is
appreciated as indicated by the ex-
pressions of many patients.
The following programme was giv-
en, the various numbers being well .re-
ceived and enthusiastically encored.
Chairmen's address by Dr. R, C, Red-
mond; solo by Mr. A. M, Forbes; in-
ti•utnental duet, Misses Abell and,

mental duet by Misses Abell atad
Brandon; National Anthem,
A whole. lot of sport -loving boys
and men are mightily impressed with
the necessity of having a real sport
in town this year, and from -a close
canvass are of the opinion that la-
crosse is due for a return. ;It is not
so many years since Wingham had a
real lacrosse team, whose halo shim-
mers around the heads of a few a-
round town, and whose enthusiasm
becoming 'contagious. With the re-
turn of a to -man team the advocates
of Canada's national game feel there
will be a come -back of deeper interest'
on the part of the public. For one
thing it will tend to speed ,up the
game. You can assist in a bigger
speeding -up process by lending your
presence at an organization meeting
in the council chamber this (Thurs-
day). evening at 8.r5. • Now a whole
lot of the success of an affair of this
kind rests with its initiatory recep-
tion[. , Come prepared to give it every
encouragement, ask questions of •a
constructive character, and get all the
information possible. It is a forgone
conclusion that the club will get pro-
per support if the organization is se-
cured, and a favorable grouping made..
