Wingham citizens turned out in
force on Friday evening to.that pop-
ular event of the season, the open
Literaryland Commencement exercis-
es .of the High School, at once 'evi-
dencing their appreciation of the
work of a very efficient staff,
, The chair was occupied by the
principal, G. L. Brackenbury, who
spoke oft the very high standing the
school had emaintahted for the past
year. He also spoke very highly of
their equipment, but would like to
see the school enlarged so that r
great:deal more cottld be accomplished for the good of the students as
they were at present somewhat handi-
capped for eoom.
Following the address of the chair
man, a splendid number was pi eseut
ed, the first number being a piano
solo by George Allen followed by an
oratorical contest, in which there
were two speakers, Miss 'Mary O'Nei
and Miss Nancy Taylor. Miss 0 gei
had chosen for her subject, "The
Modern Girl," and Miss Taylor, "The
League of Nations.u. A folkdance
by a class of girls and a Scotch
dance by the Taylor twins met witl
a very hearty 'response from the aud
ietice. The Prophet's Address was
given by Miss Mildred Redmonc
which kept Inc audience in an uproar
from start to finish. Several chor
Uses- were rendered by "The Glee
Club," under the direction of 'one o
the teachers, Wiliam Gibson. T.he
Valedictory Address was given by
Gertrude Hamilton who spoke on be
half of the graduatieg class and prais
ed. very highly the teaching staf
which it had been their good fortune
to come under.
The presentation of some 25 di-
plomas for graduatiag, was made by
Dr. R, L. Stewart, the Field Day
prizes by F R. Howson and a num-
ber of (leash prizes which had been
given by the citizens of Wingham
by Dr. A. j. Irwin; 'Wm. Henderson

Bringing the program to a close
was the judges' decision which fav-
ored Nancy Taylor. She teceived

his poem "Rugby Chapel" piatures
the life of him who goes to, the top

ON/ THE DOWN GRADE
A most interesting eneetiteNg of the
Canadian Club was held on the even-
ing of Tuesday, January the twenty-
ninth, in the schoolroom of the Un-
ited Church. In spite of the disa-
, greeable weather over seventi-five ase,
1 sembled to listen to the distinguished
speaker of the evening, Dr. Maurice
Hutton, retiring Principal of Univer-
sity College, Toronto. His address
was entitled "On the Down Grade."
In dealing with the subject of old
age, Dr. Hutton said that in his opin-
-
ion the old Greek aphorism, "Whom
the gocrs love, die young'," •was meant
to be taken literally. 'rhe fortunate
people are those who die before they
suffer the physical disabilities of old
.f age, or reach that sad condition
known as second childhood or senile
deltcVaYh'en a man reaches the age of six-
-
ty or seventy years he 'legit -is to re-

sists largely of the fragmeats that re-

PLEASES RADIO PANif v

_ gram broadcasted by our now famous
Broadcasting Station 10 &P., which
so ably administered by Dr. How-
son and Mr. F. Cruickshanks, was
,r put on ley the Wingliam Citizen's
..1131and.'
Seldom, if ever, has our local, sta-
tion had a more populae ,coacert as
was evidenced by the large number
of phone calls received, while those
calling in not only reported splendid
eeceptiOn but also keen appreciation
of the program. It must have been'
especially gratifying to the members
-of the local Band, not only to receive
this appreciation but also to learn
of the interest taken in onr band by
bandsigen'of other tentres, who were
'listening, in to the proggam.
-Since this is the first broadcast at-
e/emitted by the local •band, there has
been a lot of eoniment itt regard to
the program, No criticisin has been
heard and in feet, the general opinion
eeems to exprese the hope That we
May •hear ottr •band more frequeittly
in the whiter through the means of
the radio. It is also evident that
natty of the fans would like to hear
some sacred music in the program.
Perinips out*bend will 'soon favor us
.again and they will be assented of an
attentive and apprecia.tive radio aud-
knee. Their Sunday afternoon con-
cert compared favorably with any
ausical programes wliielt our radio
ns are accustomed to listen.
Winghatri citizene unreservedly are
grateful to Mr. A. L. Hingstoe for
the success attending his efforts in
training the new players and holding
the active ,co-opeiettion 'of the older
embers.

Alexander Crawford, Canadian win -
teat visitor from Whigharn, Ontario,
i$ the 1929 winner of the cherished
Mercer Singles tournament and will
haye his name emblazoned on a sil-
ver shield and placed on the base of
:the prize which adorns the walls of
the clubhouse. Crawford defeated
George Smith of East Orange, N. j.,
19 to 10 in the finals yesterday.
Three rounds of the classic were
staged on Monady, 'Smith defeating
McCartney, 17 to 16, in a thriller,
Rose turning tia.ck Arbuckle, 16 to
11, Cratvford halting Herman 20 to,
7, and O'Toole trouncing l3lake, 25
to 13, in the third round.
' The fourth Pound was then. started
with Crawford taking a close battle
to eliminate Rose by 13 to 12, while
Smith won k rather easy triumph
over O'Toole, 19 to 13.
The finals were then started be-
tvveen Alex Crawford and George
Smith. This proved to be a battle
from the start and attracted the en-
tire gallery and players at the club.
Each had his squad of supporters
and when a close play was needed
for a point the bowlers gave this
chap every encoueagement and in
struction.
The Ontario enthusiast gradually
accumulated a lead, but Smith gave
him a stubborn battle and at times
appeared to be able to snatch away
the trophy, but the Canadian stuck
to his game and when the final end
was played a 19 to 10 victory ap-
peared,
