About 360 interested parents and friends turned out for the concert. Lion President Bob Hetherington outlined the origin and formation of the band before the concert opened, and pointed out that the entertain­ ment was arranged for a dual pur­ pose, for it would provide parents and. the sponsoring organization with an opportunity to decide whether the band would continue or not. The pre­ sident also introduced the bandmaster, A. C. Robinson, of London. HEARS LOCAL DOCTOR ^.The Wingham and District Council’ of Churches met at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Alex Nimmo, Wingham, on Monday, March 7, 1955. The meeting opened with a brief devotional period conducted by Rev. E. W. Todd. With the Rev. J. Pollock in the chair, the meeting adopted the minutes as read by Rev. D. J. Mac­ Rae. Following the business period, the speaker, Dr. Bernard Corrin, was introduced by Rev. Alex Nimmo. The doctor spoke of the close as­ sociation between the medical prac­ titioner and the minster of religion. A' man can be physically well, emotion­ ally ill and spiritually dead. There is the trinity of body, mind, and soul. Thinking of the Bible, Moses can be seen as an outstanding public health, authority of the times in which he lived, and Luke of the New Testament was also a doctor.. Dr. Corrin drew some, interesting parellels between physical and spirit­ ual birth and growth. Following the address the speaker graciously gave his judgments on various questions submitted to him. by the assembled ministers. The Rev. Jennings, of Lucknow, moved a hearty vote of thanks to the speaker for his helpfulness and the Rev. H. Wilson tendered the thanks of the meeting to Rev. and Mrs. Nimmo for their gracious hospitality. GROUPS REHEARSE FOR ONE ACT FESTIVAL \xThe Wingham Kinsmen Club, the Howick Junior Farmers of Wroxeter, and the Wingham Community Players are now preparing their entries 'for a one-act festival to be held in Wing­ ham Town' Hall, at the end' of this: month. The Kinsmen’s entry is the famous drama “The Monkey’s Paw,” which is being directed by Mrs. John Lang­ ridge and Jim Currie. In the cast are Barbara Edwards, Jack McKnight, Al Williams, Bill Connell and Jim Cur­ rie. The Howick Junior Farmers are entering their play, a comedy called “Hanging Uncle Henry,” which also competed in the Howick Junior Farm­ ers’ Drama Festival in Clinton. This play is directed by Mrs. Tom Vittie and the actors are, Audrey O’Krafka, Ron McMichael, Phyllis McMichael, and John Stafford. ■< The Wingham Community Players are rehearsing “Joint Owners in Spain” which is directed by Mary Louise Flach and the players are Mrs. Guy, Mrs. Jim Henry, Mrs. Fred Saint and Mrs. Miles Overend. The plays will be adjudicated and the winning group will be awarded the Lion’s Club Drama Trophy. . The Community Players held their regular meeting on. March 9th. It was reported that the standing com­ mittee on drama of the Huron Zone recreation council had decided on dates for the zone festival. The group which will include the winner t from the Wingham festival and entries from Exeter and Clinton, will com­ pete in Palmerston on April 15th, and the winning play from each group will go on to Walkerton in a compe­ tition on April 20. President, Vin Dittmer, Miss Kath­ erine MacGregor and Miss Marilyn Davis were judges at a public speak­ ing competition held in Teeswater. The winner was H. Tolton. As Mr. Robinson introduced the various numbers he paused to explain the successive steps in the musical education of the boys and girls. Solo and duet numbers were interspersed to show the progress which band members have made individually and as the concert, neared its conclusion and the more advanced waltzes and marches were played it became quite evident that the entire audience was pleased and. surprised to find that the youngsters had made such progress, Practices began in the late fall and many of the band members have been playing for only ten or twelve weeks. Included in the program were the following numbers: Cornet solo, “Just A Wearyin’ for You,” Glen Skinn; euphonium solo, “Londonderry 4ir”,. Bill Henderson.

Following the concert the band, committee, Barry Wenger, Ed. Edighoffer and Bill Cruikshank, met the parents of the children, to arrange for the actual formation of the band. The chairman of the committe stated that the decision to carry on with the band was entirely in the hands of the parents and that the Lions Club, with the assistance of the town council, would purchase seven of the larger instruments, total cost of which will be $2550.00. Several of the parents raised points concerning the opera­ tion of the band, and all were fully discussed before any of the final con­ tracts for instruments were signed. A representative of the instrument company was present and the major­ ity of parents signed purchase con­ tracts for the instruments which their children have been playing since practices were commenced. Including those who will' play the instruments owned by the club, the signed-up membership of the band stands at well over 20, and several more prospective band members, who have indicated their interest in join­ ing are expected within the next two or1-three weeks. The bandmaster has arranged to continue the practices on Wednesday evenings in the firehall. Parents who. are- interested in this type of musical education for their childrep are asked to contact any one of the band com­ mittee members listed above or to see Bandmaster Robinson at the fire hall on Wednesday evenings. The members of the committee. and the Lions, Club would like to express their appreciation to the public for the very encouraging attendance, as well as for the generous donations which were received on Friday even­ ing. to it T. of St’ waltz, march, Lions WINGHAM TV STATION WILL BE LIKE NEW J.

INDUSTRY FOR TOWN •[•The addition of a television oper­ ation to the existing radio facilities in Wingham is like the creation of a new industry for the town. A basic staff of 18 people is planned for Wingham’s TV, headed by W. T. Cruickshank as general manager and G. W. Cruickshank as TV station manager. W. T. Cruickshank will also retain his position as general mana­ ger of CKNX-Radio while J. Cruickshank remains station mana­ ger in the radio field. TV staff will be recruited from the radio operation with a limited num­ ber of outside personnel. Television studio space would be re­ quired beyond the existing facilities at CKNX. The transmitter location would be in the north-west tip of Carrick Township, about 3% miles southwest of Walkerton. On a strip of land opt­ ioned from Edward Batte the TV tower would be built to a height of 650 fCet, making it the highest structure in Ontario matched only by Windsor’s TV antenna which is the same height but located on a lower land level. The transmitting antenna, called a wavestack, is like a hollow tube 28 inches in diameter? The signal is wir­ ed into the bottom of the ttibe and it ‘escapes’ from 12 slots near the top. Although the station would be of comparatively low power, the effic­ iency of the wavestack coupled with its tremendous height and the eleva­ tion of the ground on which it’s loca­ ted give the station a coverage area equal to any in Ontario. WINGHAM STATION APPLIES FOR LICENSE TO BROADCAST TV CKNX Wingham has applied Ottawa for a television license, was announced this week cby W, "Doc” Cruickshank, general manager of the Wingham radio station. Mr. Cruickshank said the application to the Department of Transport and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation asks for permission to install and operate a TV station on Channel 8. The proposed television station would serve Bruce, Grey, Huron, West Dufferin, North Perth,'North Welling­ ton and'a> section of Waterloo County, according to details released from the application; If government approval is granted it may not come until some weeks following the- application’s formal hearing in Ottawa in mid-April. “It would be our intention to pro­ ceed at once with- the installation so that service might be available with­ in sixmonths' time from the approval date,” Mr. Cruickshank. added? "After a year of investigation, of facts and with a great deal of Consideration of the economics of the problem, we at CKNX are confident we are in a strong position to operate a television station. And, although we stress that our action thus far has been only the application for a-license, we feel that there is every chance it will be granted.” r | Mr. Cruickshank also noted that “The radio operation' jof CKNX will remain as it is and coj along with, TV.” [ p mtinue to grow Varied: Programs Program planning for the proposed CKNX television statipn on Channel. 8 is based upon providing suitable local service for almost 200,000 people in the coverage area. Initially, the station would’ transmit programs approx­ imately 60 hours per week. About one half of this time would be devoted to network service, and the remaining time almost equally divided between local shows and film , transmissions. Included’ in the live \studio produc­ tions would: be programs dealing with news, sports, women’s! events, farm events, music, religion; public service and children’s features; The Wingham Public School Board took, a look at the shape of things to come, at their regular meeting on Monday night. And the prospect ap­ peared to be a bumper crop of child­ ren and more accommodation head­ aches. Principal T. S. Beattie' showed members of the board the results of a survey of. the children of ‘town, which indicated an increasing, enroll­ ment at the public school for at least five years. Despite the fact that a new wing was built on the school three years ago, increased enrollment since then has already forced school authorities to seek extra space for the kindergarten in the Masonic Hall. According tp Mr. Beattie’s calcula­ tions enrollment at the school will in­ crease steadily for five years and hit its peak in’1959, when an enrollment of 500 is expected, compared with the present enrollment of 412.

SERVE HOT MEALS AT HIGH SCHOOL IN FALL Wingham' Mohawks edged the Ar­ thur Tigers 8-6 to win four straight games in the best-of-seven series at the Wingham Arena on Thursday night. A two-goal edge in the second period did the trick for the locals, but U.CL Young People Present TV Roundup The Wingham United1' Church Y.P.U. held its regular meeting on Monday, March 14, with a good attendance. The meeting got underway with a lively sing-song led by Frances ’Vy’alker, with Helen Haines at the piano.’ The meeting was in the charge of Lois Walker, convener of mission and world outreach and took the form of a TV show. The theme for the even­ ing was “The Bible at Work in the World” which took the audience to various parts of the world, and ex­ plained how the Bible is being used. Those taking part were Don Mac- Lean, M.C., of Station Y.P.U. TV, Japan represented by Verna Mae Wheeler and Phyllis Hamilton; Korea by Ken Crawford; Africa by Lois Crawford; Northern Rhodesia by Mhrgaret Machan. A short discussion followed.

Members of the board decided that after September 1st of this year a hot meal would be served to both town and country students at a cost of 35c per meal. Students who bring their own lunch will be permitted to eat it in the cafeteria, and may obtain soup, tea or milk there for 5c.- The board also decided to discon­ tinue after the Easter holidays, the- present system of serving hot soup./. Set Auditorium Rates .A request .for the use of the high school auditorium from a local re­ ligious group touched off a discussion on rates for the use of the building. Property Committee Chairman R. S. Hetherington told members that the renting of the auditorium involved a certain amount of work for the care­ taker both in being present for the evening and in cleaning up after­ wards. He said that the board’ should re-imburse the caretaker for this. Members also thought some charge should be made for lights and wear and tear on the school: It was decided to set the rates for six months and to review the situation at the end of that time. Rates were $15 the the ich. Plans Parents Visit Public School at Open House Open house at Wingham Public School brought a goodly number of parents and friends to witness the 'work being done and progress made by the children on Friday evening. . Principal T. S. Beattie welcomed the visitors and Scott Reid, chair­ man of the school board, spoke a few words on behalf of the board. In the classrom the visitors saw the classes in action and samples of work done. After the pupils were dis­ missed the visitors talked with the teachers and went on a tour through the school. In conjuncion with Education Week, a display of school children’s work was shown in the window of station CKNX, on Josephine Street. The dis­ play featured the develpment of writing and art display showing the different levels of ability, a display showing the development of readers from year to year and the progress made from the days of “Mary, John and a sample of the _______________ah grades were represented in the dis­ play. On Thursday evening an Education­ al week program was broadcast over station CKNX, with musical numbers presented by the boys ahd girls. An­ nouncers for the program Were Stew­ art Beattie, principal, Mrs. Douglas, Inusic supervisor and Mr, McIntyre. for the auditorium and’ $25 for use of both the auditorium and cafeteria. Set Opening Date Opening date for the new school was set for April 26, after a letter was received from Premier Leslie Frost stating that he could come at that time. A committee is now work­ ing on a list of guests and speakers for the occasion. Dr. W, A. "McKibbon, public school board representative on the high school board, raised the question of what was to be done with the old high school building, in view of the fact that the public school needs accommod ation. The secretary revealed that no cor­ respondence had been received from the Wingham town council, because the council in turn had received no official intimation of the high school board’s offer in the first place. It was decided to ask the mayor and council to the next meeting of the high school board to see if some­ thing could be arranged in this re­ gal'd. Correspondence was read from Olm­ sted and Parker Construction Co., asking if the board could make any reparation for a sign belonging to the company and valued at $135, which was destroyed in the high school fire. Members decided that the school in­ surance did not cover the sign in question. Board members decided that stud. Cnts of the school would attend the Teeswater and Brussels fairs on al­ ternate years. will probably necessitate 15 teachers and classrooms, compared with the present twelye, and will mean that possibly three extra classrooms will have to be provided from somewhere. The board's survey showed the follow­ ing expected figures: 1955, 435; 1956, 445; 1957, 475; 1958, 490; 1959, 500. OK Until 1957 According to the survey the present accommodation at the school will be sufficient until 1957, although enroll­ ment. is expected to jump more than thirty in the next two years. One of the difficult features about the school enrollment is the fact that it is the number of pupils per class, rather than the overall enrollment, which makes more classrooms necessary. Average pupils per grade in the school is slightly over 50, which means that almost every grade must either be split into two classes, or mixed grades must be formed to take care of the overflow in each grade. Mr. Beattie pointed out that 35 is the practical limit for a class because of the size of the classrooms and be­ cause of the difficulty in getting tea­ chers to teach classes over that size. This maximum is considerably lower­ ed when a mixed class is involved, and a class of 25 to 30 is considered just about the maximum for mixed grades. Reeve Present Reeve Roy Adair was present on the invitation of the board to get a brief- ‘ ing on account of conditions in the school. The reeve was questioned by the board as to a letter written by the board on January 24th to the town council asking that the council take action on leasing the old high school building as temporary accom­ modation for the public school. Although the board received an answer to the letter, members said that the letter had never been read in council or discussed by that body, and Mr. Adair was asked if this were so. He said that to his knowledge the letter had never been included in council correspondence. Scott Reid, board chairman, said that he understood the high school board would make other disposition of the old school if they received no word from the town by the middle of April. He suggested to the reeve that something should be done about the matter before that date. Discuss High School Building The pros and cons oi we oid Wing­ ham District High School building as temporary accommodation for public school pupils was discussed by the board. Members seemed to feel that there was many disadvantages to us­ ing the old building, and cited the cost of maintenance, the hiring of two caretakers, the need for an as­ sistant principal, and the fact that the building would not be needed until 1957, and would have to be maintained by the town until that time. The question of building another two or three classrooms onto the new wing was also discussed. It was esti­ mated this might cost about $20,000 per classroom. Board members seemed to be of the opinion that if this course were decided upon, preliminary work on the new construction would have to start in the near future to be ready for 1957, when three extra classrooms would be needed. A resolution was finally made that the board write the town council a , letter, outlining their position in the matter of accommodation, and that a deputation be sent to the next coun­ cil meeting to discuss the matter. FIGURE SKATERS GET al- and Peter,” ---- _ — . _ science books available today. Wingham rural fire department was called to the home of Jack Higgins, on the third concession of Morris Township, on Wednesday, March 9th, about 5.30 p.m. Fire was discovered between the ceiling and floor in the front part of the house, from an overheated coal stove.
