By Windy The RHQ and 99th Bty of the 21st Fd Regt RCA held a regular training night on Monday, and was in good attendance but far from one hundred per cent. We will have to wait for the warmer weather for that. We may even find a few frozen out in the back. BRUSSELS Q* of O. DISCUSS PLANS Brussels Chamber of Commerce met in the library basement with the pre­ sident, Calvin Krauter in the chair, The discussion was in charge of William Leach, convener of the civics committee and included the erection of a bulletin board on which events of local interest will be posted. Jt is to be placed at the Canadian Bank of Commerce corner immediately behind the public drinking fountain. Metal garbage containers are being purchased and will be placed at sev­ eral spots in the town. MOHAWKS SCORE 5 - 3 0-0-0 The main topic of discussion was Col. Bell’s vacation in Florida. Again we Eskimoes must suffer. In. his absence Major T, W. Platt will be in command of the regiment and that meets with our approval one hundred per cent. Of course we will have to be on our toes as Major Platt is close at hand. And besides he has a crow bar hotel waiting. 0-0-0 Gun drill was under the direction of Capt. H. D. Thompson, also he was trying to qualify some men on a lay­ ers test. Three men have qualified for hooks but .cannot get them till they pass a layer test. Don’t worry fellows you can’t have many more years left. Besides it is all pension­ able service.

The story revolves around an automobile hianttfacturing tycoon who, seeking a successor to his late general manager brings three district managers and their wives to New York far observation* Statring are Clifton Webb, June Allyson, Van Heflin, Lauren Bacall, Fred MacMurray, Arlene Dahl, and Cornel Wilde* o-o-o I saw something amusing* during the first part of the evening. Sgt “Wild Will” Wells was in the QM stores drawing rifles to give the new men a few lessons on musketry. After drawing about twenty rifles he looked around and had two men. It seems the signal section took theii* men back, the MT theirs, then the gun crews, then the band retired to the officers’ mess for practice. Sgt "Bill” was lucky to end up with two. Don’t worry, Bill, if recruiting is better next jnonth you should have a few; Sgt Dawson was telling the boys a story in regards to rifles. It seems that in the olden days there was a strong army about to invade tiny Switzerland. The general of the enemy army approached a Swiss officer and asked him to surrender. Of course the Swiss officer refused. The general stated that he had an army of 50,000 while the Swiss army only had 1,000. “What will you do about that?” asked the general. The Swiss officer thought for awhile then replied. “Issue every man rounds of. ammunition”. 0-0-0 The signal section was again this week taking course. We are determined to make drivers out of them but what material have we to work with ? Well they are those three musty steers, Guners Lott, Campbell and Foster. Sgt “Dinny” Montgomery said he will try and- qualify them before summer camp. Of course he doesn’t always go around talking to himself or bumping head .against the wall. 0-0-0 The band was practicing in officers' mess under their newly pointed leader Bdr “Lucky Bob’ Hickey, and they show promise. At least the townspeople must have thought it was music and not just a lot of noise or all band members would have been in the pokey, charged with violation of the town’s new anti­ noise by-law. 0-0-0 This is all for this week folks. Will be here grinding out this column next week, if I’m not down amongst the rice paddies. CHAMBER PLANS INDUSTRY DRIVE A concentrated industrial effort and a more active program for members are indicated for the Listowel Cham­ ber of Commerce following a direct­ or’s meeting held in the Royal Hotel.

In this way It was hoped that with the supply available a large cross* section of children in the most vul­ nerable age group would receive the vaccine. Each would be given the regulation three “shots”, with the first early in April and all three completed well before the onset of the “polio season” around the end of May, The vaccine was to be supplied by the Connaught Laboratories of Toronto. Dr. Phillips emphasized that so far no one could make any promise as to the vaccine’s efficacy. However, it was known definitely it was harmless. Its use must still be regarded as a trial because the report of the evalua­ tion committee assessing the results of the Jarge-scale trial in the United States had hot yet been issued. * It was expected that enough vaccine would be available to look after the approximately 250,006 children in the selected group. The Minister of Health said his de­ partment is notifying all medical of* ficers of health regarding this pro­ posed program, since the actual in­ oculation responsibility rests with the local authorities. LPS COACH TO BE COTTAGE One of .the London and Port Stan­ ley Railway cars recently put to pas­ ture by the company will spend the rest of its days in placid reverie on the cool banks of Lake Huron. B. C. Gowan, of London, who purchased the Veteran car plans to remodel it completely into a summer cottage.

Robinson sang a solo, accompanied by Mrs. Robinson. Warden William C. Winter praised the fine contribution made by the In­ stitute and their work throughout the county, FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT URGED Reeve Theodore Stock ' reviewed sohie of the work to be done and some of the problems facing the council this year, at the inaugural session in New Hamburg. Council has about $125,000 to spend and of this amount the debenture payments will amount to $30,000. He predicted that in 1956 over 50 per cent of the tax money would go for education. This year something must be done to relieve flood conditions such as channelling the river bed and the council may be faced with the devel­ opment of a new subdivision, he said. SMOKE MORE CIGARETTES IN SPITE OF HEALTH SCARE Indications are' that Canadians smoked more cigarettes this year than in 1953, a Bureau of Statistics spokes­ man said. He said that in the first 11 months of this year cigarettes released for sale in Canada totalled 20,200,000,000, compared with 19,152,000,000 in the comparative period a increase of about 5 per it would work out at and 1,500 cigarettes a per capita basis. z The Canadian trend is opposite to that reported in the United States. A tobacco industry spokesman in New York said cigarette smoking in the U. S. was down about'4.3 per cent this year at an estimated 369,000,000,000 cigarettes. The spokesman blamed the dedine on “the health scare associated with cigarette smoking”. year ago, an cent.

U. which was held in the school room and at­ tended by 325 young people. The three Woman’s Missionary Soc­ iety organizations had many sewing meetings when they made articles for the Korean bales. With its other ac­ tivities, the Young Woman’s Auxiliary sponsors the nursery which takes care of children up to three years while the parents attend morning service. The Evening Auxiliary has assumed the responsibility of registering the attendance at the Young Worhippers’ League each Sunday morning. This registration now includes 100 children. Besides its other obligations the Wo­ man’s Missionary Society subscribed to the students’ fund and to the flood relief. Their visiting committees made 400 calls to sick and shut-ins. The re­ port of many activities indicated a busy year in the Women’s Associa­ tion. The purchase of kitchen equip­ ment, banquet tables and draperies added to' the comfort and beauty of the church, An active interest in the Sunday School was evidenced by a greater attendance and larger givings. The highlight of the Sunday School year is the anniversary and flower Sunday held in June. This year the theme "Joyful Living” was worked out in flowers. During the year the Official Board engaged the services of Mr, W, B. Rothwell, of Stratford, as organist and choir master. Men’s Club Organized In September a Men’s Club was or­ ganized under the leadership of W. W. Currie. This group has already had two supper meetings with special speakers and plans are under way for further activities. Under the official board, the Wingham United Church students’ fund was inaugurated, its purpose being to encourage those of our number who wish to devote their life and talent in the service of the church.

During the evening, Mrs. Geo. Guest, with Mrs. W. W. Currie at the piano, en­ tertained with two solos. Also a much enjoyed feature was the projection on the screen of several colored pic­ tures which had been taken by Mr. MacRae and Lloyd Hutton and featur­ ed high lights of the church .year.
