DAM BUSY PLACE—With spring,
nice weather and all, quite a number
• of people were seen at the Lower
Town dam, fishing for suckers with
everything from nets to bent pins. At

The Board of Governors of the
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
this week approved the application of
radio station CKNX, Wingham, for a
license to telecast on Channel 8. The
board said the new TV outlet would
extend the national service and pro
vide local coverage, and was "techni
cally acceptable.”
Board Chairman. A. Davidson Dun
ton said at the hearing that Wing
ham’s application was the most
thorough-going received so far this
year. The government-in-council is
expected to issue the required license
tn the near future.
The installation of facilities will be
gin as soon as the license is received
so that the station may start telecast
ing some time this fall.
Present program plans call for a
weekly program schedule of about 60
hours. Approximately half of this
time will be devoted to network pro
grams, mostly from 5 to 6 p.m. and
from 8 to 11.15 p.m. The remaining
time will be divided almost equally
between local programs and film
transmissions.
Network facilities will be provided
through a microwave link from Kit
chener. Microwave will be used again
to link the studios to the transmitter
which is located about 16 miles north
east of Wingham.
Will Serve District
The new TV station is intended to
serve Bruce, Grey, Huron and parts
of Dufferin, Perth, Wellington and
Waterloo counties, a population of
approximately 200,000. The transmitter
will be built about three miles south
west of Walkerton, in Carrick Town
ship, almost in the centre of the area
of coverage, and it is expected that a
strong signal will reach as fat as
Owen Sound and Wiarton.
Present indications are that there
will be approximately eighteen mem
bers on the staff of the station,
although some of these may also con
tinue their duties with the radio
station which will continue its opera
tions.
W. T. Cruickshank has been named
general manager of the new station
and G. W. Cruickshank station mana
ger. Other appointees are: Vin Ditt
mer, sales manager; Scott Reid, chief
engineer; G, Schiefelc, transmitter
engineer and Don Hildebrand, produc
tion director.
During the past couple of weeks,
members of the staff have visited
television stations in Kingston and
Peterborough to gather information

H.S. Board Sets Tax Rate at 5.3 Mills;
New School Costs Only .3 Mills Extra
Almost coincidental with the open

of the Wingham District High School
Board got a pleasant surprise last
week at their regular meeting, when
secretary-treasurer W. A. Galbraith
presented estimates for the year which
set the tax levy at 5.3 mills—only one
third mill higher than last year’s rate
of 5 mills. The estimates include the
first debenture on the new high school
building, and indicate that the board
will not have to raise its tax rate
materially to pay for the new $635,000
structure.
When the new building was in the
planning stage about two years ago
board members at that time expressed
the hope that they would be able to

ACCIDENT VICTIMS
TREATED AT HOSPITAL
The accident victims were treated
for injuries, mostly of a minor nature
at the hospital last week.
On Tuesday- last Frank Coulter,
Whitechurch, age 73, was hospitalized
for a dislocation when he slipped and
fell at his home.
Three accident victims were treated
on Wednesday. Lloyd Ruttan, of
Gorrie, an employee of Harold Kerr
Construction, Wingham, suffered
painful injuries to his left wrist when
he was struck by a steel spring when
a bolt broke. He was allowed home
after treatment. Archie Irwin, of
Gorrie, also employed by the com
pany, was injured in the same way
and was treated for injuries to his
left arm. Mrs. Clara Halliday, Wing
ham, received lacerations to her right
first finger when she caught it in a
wringer.
On Friday Dr. Murray MacLennan,
Wingham veterinary, was injured
when his car struck loose gravel and
rolled over in a ditch in East Wawa-
nosh. He was taken to the hospital
where he was treated for injuries to
his left shoulder and spinal and chest
injuries. His condition on Tuesday
was described as satisfactory.
Miss Annie MacKay, 79, of- Luck
now, fractured her right wrist on
Saturday when she fell at her home.
The fracture was reduced under gen
eral anaesthetic and a cast applied at
the hospital, where her condition was
reported to be satisfactory.
George McInnis, 13-month-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. George McInnis, of
Wingham, fractured his left upper
leg on Sunday, when he fell off the
seat of a car. He was admitted to the
hospital, where traction splints were
applied. His condition is satisfactory.
John Harcourt, Wingham, was also

a horse, sustaining injuries to his left
William Peddle, 70, of Whitechurch,

mills will raise $62,561.20 on a total
assessment of $11,804,158 for the high

To Publish Reports
Members of the board discussed the
question of publishing school reports
in the local press. Several members
thought that all school reports should
be published and a motion was made
to this effect.
The board decided to join the Ont
ario School Trustees Council, and
appointed Walton Todd, of Brussels,
to attend the council’s convention in
Kingston on behalf of the board.
Members also decided that “No
Smoking” signs should be put up in
the gymnasium and that containers of
sand should be placed in the halls for
use of organizations using the gym
nasium as a meeting place.
Ask Lower Rates
A letter from the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture was read
at the meeting, suggesting that service
clubs and educational groups should
be allowed to use the gymnasium
auditorium free of charge or at mini
mum rates, if no admission was
charged.
The board discussed the matter at
some length. A rental rate on the
gymnasiu^n and kitchen had already
been set at a previous -meeting.
Dr. W. A. McKibbon thought that
the rates set at the last meeting for a
period of six months, should be ad
hered to for the period stipulated. A.
D. MacWilliam suggested that smaller
groups could make use of the library
of the school instead of the gymnas
ium, reducing the cost of caretaker
service. He pointed out that special
protective wax must be applied to the
floor when the gymnasium is used,
which with the cost of caretaking,
makes the rental rather high. R. S.
Hetherington suggested that rent be
charged for the gymnasium only when
rented by. an organization which is
charging admission.
It was finally decided to leave the
question with the school management
committee..
