The matter of securing hydro at Whig - ham was discussed and it was deemed ads visable to take immediate steps to have a meeting called and have hydro representa- tives address the people A similar meet- ing was held about two years ago, but, owing to war conditions, all hydro exten- sions were cancelled until the end of the war, Wines= is so situated that it could well be a distributing point for power for Lucknow, Blyth, Brussels, Teeswater and Wroxeter and possibly farther. This would mean that, after the first year or two, power would be comparatively cheap In -order that the other municipalities in this district, which at present want hydro, can get it, Wingham must take hold and push for it. Just why any sane man ineWin. ham will say that we do not need hydro is more than we can imagine' If a manufacturer was about to bring a factory or machine shop to town to -mors., row, Winsham positively could not supply them with electric power, This is much to be regretted and the sooner we wake up and get hydro here, the sooner our town will have a chance to grow. , • , • Picture House Notes On Wednesday and Thursday, 19th and 20th, "The Bar Sinister" with an all star cast in 8 reels.

SERVICE FLAO UNVEILED Excellent Suggestion for VVingham's Memorial Memorable in the history of the Wing - ham Methodist Church was the brilliantly successful evening service on Sunday last. The occasion was the unveiling of the ser- vice flag. Soldiers occupied the front seats in the auditorium and the church was well filled. After the lesson had beecn read the pass tor assisted by Mr. C R, Copeland and Mr. Harry Hinscliffe took their places in front of the pulpit. Mr. Copeland read the unveiling appreciation and Mr. Hins- cliffe unfolded theservice flag and hung it in its ,piaece on the pulpit. Rev. Mr, Ari trong Ede a suitable reference to tia e a rave taprs who had fought and fell and reacItheir names: Pte Leonard R Brock. Corporal Win, Percy Buchalman, Pte, Wm. Edward Helps. Lieut. Richard Howson, Pte. Harvey Huffman, Pte. Wm. R. Johnstone. Second Lieut. Royal Air Force, John Thos, Mjtchell. McDonald, • Pte, Alfred Pullen. Pte. Harvey F. Willis. Miss Reynolds, the organist played the Dead March in Saul and Mr. A. Hingston played the Last Post on the coronet. . Rev. Mr. Armstrong took for his text Joshua 4-5 "What mean ye by. these stones." He referred to the different memorials, some of thorn in the ferm of marble slabs and others, memorial balls, erected -to honor the beloved memory of heroes who fell in battle,- He believed that every community should have its own memorial to foster the spirit of pat- riotism and that we might be reminded of their blood -bought sacrifice. Mr. Arm- strong asked if the people of our ton should be satisfied to have a cold atone monument erected in remembrance of these boys. An endowment fund to edu. cate the dependents of those who fell would be a more suitable remembrance. He suggested that a library building might be erected and in that building a tablet should bear the names of all from this vicinity who went overseas with special mention of those who laid down their lives. In that building there might be a swimming pool, and another room might be devoted to souvenirs of the great war, and possibly in another room a few checker boards and easy chairs some place where the tired traveller might gladly sit down and rest his weary bones, a piece of recreation for the weary brain. And furthereahat it might be a home Weere veterans could meet and enjoy an hour of comradeship together. The rev- erend gentlemen pictured a room with portraits of those who fell banging on the walls, a museum case where relics of the -war could be seen; where the patriotic or Red Cross Society could meet. Mr. Armstrongs' suggestions are well worthy of the consideration of our town fathers, and we believe that with very little difficulty a grant could be secured from Andrew Carnegie to build, or help buil& a library and hall as described. Carnegie buildings are in evidence in al- most every town and village in this vici- nity.

HOTELMAN JAILED Thirty Days in Goderich with Hard Labor Before Police Magistrate Andrews at Clinton on Friday, Reuben Grabam of the Graham House, Clinton. was sentenced to- Goderich jail for thirty days at hard labor. It was shown in court that Graham has been a frequent violator of the Canada Temperance Act, now in force in Huron county, and the magistrate reminded bins that on the occasion of his last appearance in court he had been warned of what the result would be if he was again charged with violating the temperance laws. The case was the outcome of a recent trip Graham made out of town with an empty suitcase, and when he returned at 5 o'clock the next morning special officers of the Huron County Alliance met him and relieved him of the suitcase: which contained nine quart bottles of whiskey. Graham also had considerable motor trouble on his return trip, as the car which met him at Dublin broke down when near Clinton, and a second car, which was brought on the scene to tow the stranded car home, also came to grief, and when the proCessiOn reached the Gra-. ham House it consisted of a big farm team drawing two disabled autos and three men with the precious grip. They were some. what surprised when the temperance offi- cers seized the suit case under a search warrant and its contents were confiscated. The Magistrate disposed of the whiskey by giving an order for its destruction. J. M. Best of Seaforth, acted for Graham, and Crown Attorney Seeger of Goderich, for Inspector Torrance, who prosecuted.
