The Wingham Advance-Times, 1954-01-13, Page 12iPfcge Twelve The Winghain Advance-Times, Wednesday, Jan. 13, 135* % WHITECHURGH Mrs, William Forster This community was shocked Wednesday morning when it On Parade! The R.H.Q. and 99th Bty. of the 21st A/Tk. Regt, held their regular training night on Monday, January 11th, and were in very good attend­ ance. And speaking of attendance I thought one of Hiseler and Son’s oil burners blew up and blew the son into the Armouries, uniforn and all. By that I mean one Officer Cadfet Stan Heisler. It may not seem strange to some people but we haven’t seen Stan in uniform for almost a year. 0-0-0 The band was a bit confused on Monday night. It seems they usually practice upstairs in the fire hall, but the firemen were holding a meeting and the door was locked, Bdr. Bob Hickey tried to attract their atten­ tion but to no avail. They were so desperate they were going to play out­ side, but thought better of the idea as some fool might have passed a hat in the drill hall, and then everyone around. But they ended up practising in the drill hall, and then everyone listening could have thrown them out­ side (only kidding band members.) 0-0-0 The signal section were out in the QM stores, sorting out equipment. Before the evening was over Sgt. Buck Sinnamon and his crew had more bits and pieces than they knew what to do with. What did they do? You guessed —they put it all back in the original place, very much confused by the whole issue. 0-0-0 Gun drill was under the direction of WO2 Wilf Seddon and Sgt. jack Blackwell and there is no comment from busy that angle as they were very and interested. 0-0-0 a note of interest the RegimentAs is having an inspection by Brigadier P. A. S. Todd, C.R.A. of 1st Canadian Division from Hamilton in the Lis­ towel Armouries on the 26th of Janu­ ary. So all members are urged to at­ tend and prepare for them. It should • be a good do. 0-0-0 It appears as if this cold weather does not agree with some people, es­ pecially Lt. 'Col. E. p. Bell as he will be leaving for Florida next month to .soak up some of that warm sunshine. Oh, well, some people have all the luck. We Eskimos will have to grin and bear it. Myself, I was shaking so hard this morning (from the cold of course) that the water on my knee splashed.

H, French, Mrs. W -A, McKibbon. The auxiliary extends thanks to all While it is now generally and prop­ erly recognized that true southpaws shouldn't be forced into righthand­ ness, some children who use their left hands aren’t “true” southpaws. This was stressed in a recent article by Theodora Alcock in “Family Doctor,” official organ of the British Medical Association. A naturally right-handed child may elect to use his left hand for any one of a number’ of complex reasons, the article ” states. The child may have developed some aversion to his right hand, perhaps because of its associa­ tion with some form of naughtiness. Or the child may be imitating a be­ loved southpaw, In any event, the article states, the use of the less skilled hand may be­ come an unbreakable habit and cause clumsiness and frustration later on. For this reason it is important to dis­ cover which of the child’s hands is naturally most skillful, and tactfully encourage the child to use that hand. Ordering the child to change hands can do great harm, particularly of course when the change is from the more apt to the less apt hand. For this reason the article urges parents or teacher to make very sure first whether a change is advisable at all and then to be subtle about naking the child feel that the properly apt hand is a “good hand to use.” The article suggests that the child be watched to see which hand is used to control a broom, stir with a spoon, cut with scissors, which thumb is on top when hands are clasped, or which arm is on top when arms are folded. last was learned that Mrs. William Forster, of West Wawaposh, had passed away that morning following a heart seiz­ ure. She was in her fifty-fifth year.
