GETTING THEIR MAN—Reports
that the Mounties were in town led
us to question Bert Platt, thinking that
perhaps some gigantic espionage ring
was about to be exposed right here in
Wingham. The Mounties were here,
alright, at least one of them was. But
no espionage ring. Turns out that
some chappie in the district had ne
glected to file an income tax form.

DANGEROUS CURBS—According
to advance notices the paving com

the “near future” will mean that per

TV TOWER—Strange request at
the town council meeting on Monday
was that of the firemen, who wanted
permission to put up a TV antenna
on the top of the fire hall. The council
was quite agreeable, but wondered
why the ’ firemen wouldn’t put it on
top of the hose tower, where they
would probably get the best reception
in town. On second thought they
might have trouble finding someone
to put it there.

County Bills Town
For $19,256.08
A bill for $19,256.08 from the County
of Huron was received by the town
council at their meeting on Monday
night, representing county tax'es for
the year 1954. The amount is based on
a 10 mill rate on Wingham's 1953 as
sessment.
Slightly over the amount levied last
year, the town’s payment to the coun
ty is expected to go even higher next
year, when Wingham’s new equalized

Invitations Accepted
By More Old Timers
News that anniversary invitations
are going out must be getting around
amongst ex-Winghamites who live in
different parts of the Continent.
“How come the rest of the folks get
anniversary celebration letters but
not us?” asks a letter from Mrs. Jessie
Lougheed and Mrs. Marie Lougheed,
of Detroit, Michigan.
“Mother went to school in Wing
ham and married my Dad, Dave
Lougheed there”, continues the letter.
“I was born in the old Park house. So
please don’t forget us any more!”
Unfortunately some former resi
dents were bound to be left off the
lists compiled by the invitations com
mittee, and to those that were the
committee extends its sincere apolo
gies. Already almost 1,500 invitations
have gone out and people are still com
ing in with names to which invita
tions should bo sent.
Postcards of acceptance have been
received from the following:'Charles
A. Barber, Chilliwack, B.C., Mr. and
Mrs. Brian Groh, Grimsby; Marjorie

The Canadian Broadcasting Corpor
ation’s “Salute to Wingham’’, which
will be broadcast across Canada im
mediately before “Neighbourly News",
will originate at the town hall on
Sunday, August 1st, at 9.45 a.m.
Directed by Harry J. Boyle and
Reid Foresee, the program will fea
ture interviews with Wingham people
on the “Salute to Wingham" portion
of the program. Don Fairbairn, who
regularly handles the “Neighbourly
News” broadcast, will not be here in
person, but his voice will be brought'
in from Vancouver, where he will be
at that time to cover the British Em
pire Games.
Adding to the interest of hearing
familiar voices from Wingham on the
program, will be the fact that the
whole thing will be conducted by Har
ry J. Boyle, a former Winghamite and
member of the staff of CKNX before
he went to the CBC. He is now pro
gram director for Ontario,
Tickets for the ‘Salute to Wingham”
and “Neighbourly News” broadcast
may be obtained at McKibbon’s Drug
Store, station CKNX and the Advance-

the tickets, but those who wish to
see the broadcast actually taking place
in the town hall are urged to secure
tickets as soon as possible, in order
to assure adequate accommodations.
Those who are attending must be in
their seats by 9.30 a.m on Sunday,
August 1st.
A delegation from the Sacred Hgart
Parish, consisting of Rev. Remi JDur-
and, A. J. Lockridge and Gerald Bro
phy, was present at the council meet
ing on Monday to ask that the town
take over the care of the Catholic
Cemetery and operate it in conjunc
tion with its own cemetery.
Alf Lockridge, spokesman for the
delegation, explained that the parish
would like to have its cemetery taken
care of by Robert Deyell and his
cemetery staff. He said that the town
could take over whatever revenues
were derived from the cemetery. He
explained that at the present time the
Catholic Cemetery was being cared
for by cemetery superintendent Deyell
in his off hours, for which the parish
was paying him remuneration.
Councillor Wilkinson asked if the
town would just derive revenue from
new graves in the cemetery. Council
lor Burgman, of the cemetery com
mittee explained the schedule of rates
for the cemetery. He said that a
charge of $5 per grave, or $20 per

Correspondence was read from the
nurses that could not attend.
Members were pleased to have Mrs.
Stark of Detroit (nee Miss
with them this year.
Mrs. Richard Lloyd was

Several Hurt in
Haying Accidents
Haying operations proved dangerous
to several persons in the district, who
were hospitalized as a result of acci
dents with haying equipment on the
farm during the past week.
Most seriously injured was Thomas
Inglis, 79, of R R 1, Lucknow, who
was taken to Wingham General Hos
pital with a fractured skull, after he
fell off a load of hay near his barn.
Murray Keys, 23, of Brussels dis
trict, jumped off a load of hay while
helping at the farm of a neighbor.
X-ray treatment failed to disclose any
fracture.
In the Fordwich area, Arthur For
ester broke his arm when he fell off
a load of hay on his farm. He was
taken to Listowel Hospital by Dr. John
Forde.

Plans Are Being Finalized
By Anniversary Committees
plot of four graves was made for
the actual land, and that a charge of
$15 per grave, or $60 per plot is made
for permanent care.
Mr. Burgman pointed out that there
would be a certain amount of work
entailed in taking over the Catholic
Cemetery, since there were some sun
ken graves in the older portion. He
also thought that fill would be needed
to grade some portions of the land,
and that a road should be made from
the Protestant section. However, he
said that this work could be done
wihout too much trouble and that no
extra help would probably be needed.
After the delegation had retired the
council discussed the matter and de
cided that the town would take over
the care of the Catholic Cemetery on
the same basis on which the Protest
ant Cemtery is operated. A charge of
$15 per grave will be made for perma
nent care on the graves now in the
cemetery, and new graves will be
handled in the usual way. Town
Clerk W. A. Galbraith was instructed
to write a letter to Father Durand to
this effect.
Presents Arena Report
A. J. Lockridge, manager of the
Wingham Arena, presented his yearly
arena report for the period May 1st,
1953 to April 30th, 1954. The report
showed a loss of $6.27 over the period.
Presentation of the report launched
a discussion of the difficulties of run
ning an arena at a profit, involving
minor hockey, junior hockey, govern
ment recreation grants, hydro rates,
free skating time and other questions.
Councillor Wilkinson pointed out
that the report did not show the true
extent of the cost of the arena to the
town, since it did not include the
arena manager’s salary, or the cost of
depreciation, insurance and salaries
which were borne by the town.
However, councillors seemed to feel
that Mr. Lockridge had done a fine
job in managing the arena, and that
they were lucky that losses weren’t
even higher.
It was decided that the matter of
government recreational grants on
the arena should be looked into more
closely, and that Mr. Lockridge’s sal
ary of $500 for managing the arena
should be passed for payment.
Asks About License
Joe Clark, of Wingham Auto Wreck
ers, was present at the meeting to'
enquire about a license for junk
yards, as required by a new town by
law passed several months ago.
He was informed by council that
the by-law required that every yard
have a license, and that in order to
get a license, he would have to erect
a fence around his property on Vic
toria Street. Mr. Clark stated that it
was his intention to erect such a fence
forthwith, and he filled out his appli
cation form for a license then and
there.
