Single Copies Five Cents WINGHAM, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 30th, 1936 Subscriptions $2.00 Per Year OLD TIMER PAYS SHORT VISIT HERE H. A. Kaake, of Buffalo, Lived) Here in the 80’s. We have a very pleasant chat one cday last week with a former Wing- hamite, H. A, Kaake, of Buffalo. It was in the 80’s that Mr. Kaake re­ sided in Wingham. His father kept ■a Singer sewing machine shop just the south side of where Fry’s furni­ ture store , is • now located; ■ His par­ ents were Edwin and Elizabeth Kaake and he was born near Black Horse but after residing in Goderich Town­ ship came to Wingham about 1882 and after living here for' seven years moved to Blyth. In 1890 Mr. Kaake went to the States and was engaged by the Western Union Telegraph Co, which firm he has been continuously with for 46 years,, He wandered around town looking for somebody to talk to but as he has not been here since 1890 he had little success in meeting up with for­ mer acquaintances. He informed us that Wingham was the first town to. have electric lights in Ontario. In was in 1882 that Leg- go Ireland came here from Detroit and he brought a generator outfit with him that was installed in a pump works and blacksmith shop on Vic­ toria Street and that the power was used to light the hardware store that was then located on the southeast corner of Josephine and Victoria Streets opposite the Exchange Hotel, that was torn down a few years ago. Later six or seven lights were install- *ed on Josephine Street and one night during a fog in late October, geese by the hundreds were attracted by the lights and settled on the road. The honking and noise this flock made drew many people from their peaceful -slumbers and Mr. Kaake .succeeded in capturing one in a door­ way next to his father’s shop. He also recalled that several other people were also successful in like attempts. He recalled the days of 1885 when :the boys of the old 33rd were drilling tq go West. He says “I was just a bare-foot kid and I was nosing around and got too close and the wad from a dummy cartridge just about burned the calf off my right leg.” Fie was a newsboy in those days and delivered the Advance and later the Times. « He remarked on the fine appear­ ance of our Main Street and express­ ed the hope that he could soon make another call here so that he could chat with some of the old-timers. He was accompanied by his sister, Mrs. Lillian Soil, also of Buffalo. United Church Picnic, A large number of the United 'Church and the Sunday School had a most enjoyable outing on Wednes­ day afternoon last week when they held their annual picnic at Bogie’s Beach. The water in the lake was so cold, that few ducked and those who did were not in for long. Races and games formed the program and .the usual picnic supper.

JOHN CAMPBELL HAS 90th BIRTHDAY Came Form Ireland As xa Girl to Bush Farm On Sunday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. George Hawthorne at Lower Wingham, Mrs. John Campbell celebrated her 90th birthday. Her maiden name was Sydney Montgomery, the daughter of the late Andrew and Jane Montgomery. She was born in the County of Fermanah, Ireland, and when about 13 years of age the family moved to New York. The crossing was made in a sailing vessel, and took nearly 9 weeks. She lived in New York 'for a couple of years and then came on a visit to relatives in this part. It "was on this visit in 1862 that she met John Camp­ bell and they were married, and took up farming on.the Boundary between Culross and Turnberry. They built a log shack and the result of the labors of these early days is the fine farm, on which her son William now lives. A. little later her parents with the remainder of the family, came and settled between heat and Tees­ water. < Mr. Campbell passed on in 1911 but Mrs. Campbell remained on the farm until seven years ago, when she moved to Lower Wingham to live with her daughter. Despite her advanced years, Mrs. Campbell is of a cheerful, bright dis­ position and has a fine sense of hum­ our. She reads with the aid of a glass, enjoying good health, sleeps and cats well. She is a member of the Angli­ can church, and when we went to call on her, she was having, a chat with Rev. E. L. Roberts,, her sister, Miss Mary Montgomery and Mr. Hawthorne. She still remembers the district where she was born and often tells many interesting things that oc­ curred in her girlhood days in Ire­ land. In her early days on the farm oil the Boundary, she said that wild animals were ever present, foxes, wolves, bears and Lynx. She has three children living, An­ drew of Turnberry, William of Cul­ ross and Mrs. George (Margaret) Hawthorne, Lower Wingham. She also has otic brother and one sister living of a fa,mily of four girls and two boys, William Montgomery of Emmerson, Mam, and Miss Mary Montgomery of Lower Wingham.

Hender­ son presided and the ladies of the Belgrave Institute were guests, .The meeting opened with the sing­ ing of the Institute Ode with Mrs. James Robinson at the piano, follow­ ed by the Lord’s Prayer in unison.

Scott of East Wawanosh. Mrs. W, C. Scott of East Wawanosh gave a reading “The Etiquette Book” and as an encore “Getting Up in the Morn­ ing.” A very interesting speech on can­ ning, storing and budgeting of fruits and vegetables, was given by Mrs. Joan Hamilton Shearer of the De­ partment. She advocated everyone having a large vegetable and fruit garden and stressed the use of plen­ ty of fresh vegetables and fruits to build healthy bodies. “Londonderry Air” was a piano solo by Charles Scott and Miss Doris Scott of Belgrave rendered a vocal solo.

Paul’s Anglican Church was fill­ ed to capacity on Sunday morning for the Vimy Memorial service, which was held under the auspices of the Wingham Post No. 180 B.E.S.L. Headed by the Wingham Citizens’ Band, about 75 veterans, the Fire Bri­ gade and Civic Officials paraded from the Armouries to the Church and oc­ cupied the front seats of the Church. They entered the church to the or­ gan prelude “Land of Hope and Glory”, The processional hymn was “Lord of Heaven and Earth and Ocean”. The Psalm for the special occasion was the 91st Psalm. The lessons from the Scripture were read from 4th chapter of Joshua, verses 1 to 9, and the 7th chapter of Revel­ ations, from the 9th verse to the end of the chapter. The hymns “O King of Kings” and “God of Our Fathers" were sung. Rev. E. L. Roberts, the Rector, chose for his text “These stones shall be for a memorial forever”, the 7th verse of the 4th chapter of Joshua. In a very sincere address he told of the significance of the beautiful mem- I orial that earlier in the day had been unveiled by His Majesty King Ed­ ward VIII on Vimy Ridge. He spoke of the 60,000 Canadian who gave up their lives during the years of the Great War for Peace and urged upon the congregation to pray and work for the peace of the world. Following the singing of the Na­ tional Anthem, Mr. Chris. Templeman sang as a solo “In Flanders Fields.” The Last Post was sounded, two min­ utes’ silence was observed and then Reveille.

KINCARDINE SCRIBE HAS SHORT MEMORY Caustic Comment in Kincardine News The Kincardine News waxed sar­ castic in their issue last week in their report of the game in which the Hur­ ons took the Pentangs into camp in their own back yard. The following is the part of the report to which we refer: “The victory was a tainted one for the Wingham gang who showed thin skinned sportsmanship late in the game. Mel Riggin was playing hte outfield and sprained his ankle mak­ ing it impossible for him to run and as Russ Anderson had previously been taken out of the game, Manager Gordon Thompson had no alternate players to put in. the line-up when Frank Cassidy split his finger open Gord. Thompson sought permission to insert Russ Anderson into the line- i up again and was only permitted to do so when he agreed to play the game under protest with the team which represents more points in On­ tario than there are countries in the league of nations. At the time Wing­ ham only had a lead of six runs and had about as much chance of being defeated as Haile Selassie has of re­ gaining Ethiopia. The “contented” boys just couldn’t take it.” It has long been our habit to let by-goncs be by-gones but when we read the above caustic paragraph we could not suppress a smile as our memory took us back to the last year the Lakeside league operated. Flay­ ing against Kincardine, Bob Groves sprained his ankle and at the next game which was also against Kin­ cardine at Teeswater, Bob’s injured member was still about the size of a balloon, necessitating his wearing a slipper in place of .the usual baseball shoe. This however, did not stop the big catcher. He went to bat and banged a lusty single. The request was made that he have another play­ er run for him but the boys from the Lakeshore town could not see it that way and Bob had to stay on the base lines. It is rather a peculiar thing that the score at that game was 9-3 for Kincardine, exactly the score by which they lost in the game the News is so het up about. At the time this happened at Tees­ water wc made no mention of it in our paper although we thought it was rather a shady trick but Kincardine were within their rights according to the letter of the law or something. Anybody who knows anything about baseball knows that a man once tak­ en out of a game cannot return. The Hurons had a perfect right to allow him to do so under protest, No doubt the News would have had different ideas if the shoe had been on the other foot. KING UNVEILED VIM YMEMORIAL. Beautiful Ceremony Took Place on* Canadian Soil, the Gift of France. The beautiful Vimy Memorial, that stands on Vimy Ridge, France, on. Canadian soil, a gift from France, was. unveiled Sunday morning by His Ma­ jesty King Edward. VIII in the pres­ ence of 6000 of the Canadian Pilgrim­ age. High dignitaries were there re­ presentatives of the British and Can­ adian Governments, the President and. Ministers of France and also thous­ ands and thousands of the french cit­ izens who held the Canadian soldiers in such high regard during the Great War. Throughout the whole of Can­ ada those who could not be there sat at their radios listeneing to the cere­ mony with deep respect for those 60,000 Canadians who gave their all in' the Great War. Addresses were given by Rev. Cecil C. Owen, of Vancouver, Rev. G. O. Fallis of Toronto, and Monsignor Deschamp of Montreal. A message from Prime Minister Mackenzie King- was read by Hun. C^G. Power, Min­ ister of Pensions and National Health, and Hon. Ian Mackenzie, minister o£ National Defense, spoke of the mon­ ument’s symbolism. The King then unveiled the mem­ orial. His Majesty, after thanking Pres­ ident Albert .Lebrun for his presence,, remarked that nine years ago he had. dedicated the altar in Ottawa where Canada’s book of remembrance re­ cords the 60,000 of her war dead. “Above the door is graven ‘All’s well* for over there a happy warrior sleeps.’ It was “over there’ that Canadian ar­ mies fought and died. It is ‘over there’ that their final monument must stand.” “To-day, 3,000 miles from the shor­ es of Canada, wc arc assembled ar­ ound that monument—yet not on al­ ien soil,” the Sovereign said. The memorial marked the scene of feats of arms which history will long re­ member. “And the ground it covers is the gift of France to Canada.” “In dedicating this memorial to our fallen comrades our thoughts turn ra­ ther to the splendor of their sacrifice, and to the consecration of our love for them than to the cannonade which beat upon this ridge a score of years ago,” said the King. “In that spirit, in a spirit of thankfulness for their example, of reverence for their devo­ tion and of pride in their comradeship, I unveil this memorial to Canada’s dead.” “The Last Post” rang out as His Majesty finished speaking, signalling' a two minutes’ silence that ended with the re-kindling blaze of Reveille. President Lebrun then voiced the gratitude of France for Canada’s war­ time sacrifice. The monument would recall to the people of France “that here several thousand men, come from a faraway land, spilled blood to de­ fend their hearth.” We do Shoe, Repairing on Saturday Nights from 7 to 10.30 for the con­ venience of those from the country districts.
