reading. “An Easter Prayer and Eas
ter Throughout the World,” telling of
the customs in different lands, of celebrating the Easter season. ■
Mrs. W. J, Watt introduced the
special speaker, Miss Winnifred War
ren, of Walkerton, a former mission
ary in China and Formosa. Taking as
her text the offering of the two,bits, all the living of one woman, and of
the alabaster box, the gift of another
woman, she told how, through missionary effort, they had worked out to
such great benefit in so many places
of the earth, i when given to the
Master. • .
She told of the great need of young
people to consecrate their lives, to
give full time service to missionary
effort, and how much is accomplish
ed by having Bibles and good liter
ature to give to Christian' people in
far away lands. She told how much
the Bibles are cherished and valued,
one man giving all his earnings of two
months to buy a Bible and told how
Russia spent millions in giving Chin
ese people Communist literature, in
comparsion with thousands the Prot
estant churches are spending. She told
of the concentration camps, where
they were held in China, during the
war, and how cheered they were
when the planes came, and wrote V for Victory in smoke, in the sky, and
how much the efforts among
the people and in the hospitals, were
appreciated. She said that twelve
young people had volunteered for
missionary work from Walkerton,
when she did and that the need is still
greater now.
Mrs. Ezra Schotlz moved a vote of
appreciation to Miss Warren for her
splendid address, Mrs. J. D. Beecroft

To the Editor,
The Advance-Times,
Wingham, Ontario.
Sir;
The United States is making atom
and hydrogen bombs out of Canadian
uranium and other material for "de
fence” purposes. National leaders of
the U. S. calmly announce defending
their country, makes necessary the
maintaining of the Chiang-Kai-shek
Government in control of the Chinese
islands off the coast of the mainland
of China. Meantime the U. S. authori
ties tell the world they will use all
weapons including the A, and H.
bombs for what they call defence!
Our External Affairs Minister, Les
ter Pearson seems to think that Can
ada could not remain neutral in case
a (world) was should break out, be
cause of the integration of United
States and Canadian defence arrange
ments, or to use his own words, “our
co-ordinated and inter-related contin
ental defence arrangements with the
United States.”
It is deplorable for the diplomats
of a great power to announce to the
world that they are going to use
these diabolical thermonuclear weap
ons. They threaten to massacre, kill
and cripple indiscriminately, whole
cities full of people, men, women and
children.
That is something new in the an
nals of history. It has been left for
the Yankee diplomats to stoop that
low.
Surely the Canadian people will not
accept the view of Mr. Pearson that
atomic war for Canada is inevitable
if the United States is at war.
Surely Canadians Will protest in
numbers sufficient to put a stop to
such folly. Those who are in authority
in the Government of Canada arc our
Servants!
■ It is high time we demanded an in*
dependent foreign policy based on the
interests of Canada and hot those of
Washington.

SIXTY YEARS AGO
Mr. H, Darroch has traded his prom
ising trotting mare with Mr.. J,
Swarts, of Wingham, for a fine-look
ing three-year-old black mare from
thoroughbred running stock,
Mr. Andrew Morden, while turning
a windlass at a well which was being
dug in town on Wednesday, by some
means, allowed the handle to slip and
was struck on the head by it, His head
was pretty severely cut, necessitating
quite a few stitches by a physician.
A burning chimney of Mr. W. T.
Yates’ grocery, on Wednesday after
noon, brought out the ' fire brigade,
but their services were not required
as the fire had subsided when they
arrived with the hose at the hydrant
at the corner of John and Josephine
Streets.
The old building owned by Dr. Tam-
lyn at the corner of John and Dia
gonal streets, was partly torn down.
The front part was removed to a lot
on John Street, in the rear of Dr.
Tamlyn’s residence and office, and
will be fitted up as a dwelling.
Mr. John Cornyn, late of Chicago,
has purchased the furniture and un
dertaking business of Mr. T. B. Corn
yn, and has an announcement in an
other column.
Rev.' David“Perrie and -Mrs. Perrie
left for the Old Country on .Friday
last. They expect to return in the

FORTY YEARS AGO
We were very pleased to report that
Mr. John Wesley Ansley, son of Mr.
and Mrs. John Ansley, of Lower
Wingham, has been highly honored
in being appointed Class Assistant in
Biology, Faculty of Arts, by the
Board of Governors of Toronto Uni
versity. Mr. Ansley is one of the most
active workers in the Young Men’s
Bible Class, with a membership of
between seventy-five and one hun
dred, of Trinity Methodist Church,
and is a young man of much effic
iency, and that is what counts in these
strenuous times of competition.
Between six and seven o’clock on
Saturday evening last Mr. R. S. Mc
Gee had occasion to visit his grocery
store and found two boys about fif
teen years of age in his store, having
gained entrance through the back
cellar window. The boys were handed
over to the authorities and we un
derstood they have confessed to hav
ing been responsible for the robberies
at the Wm. Davies Co’s, office, the
GTR Station, Mason’s and Isard’s
stores. The boys were giving a hear
ing on Monday afternoon and were
remanded for a week. It is fortunate
that the boys were caught and will
thus be checked in their bad career.
Mr. John Pugsley, a pioneer of this
district, passed away at his home on
Leopold Street on Monday morning,
in his 88th year. The deceased gentle
man came to East Wawanosh in the
pioneer days and resided in that
township until a few years ago when
failing health forced him to give up
farming and he moved to town. He
was a man of quiet disposition and
held in high esteem by a large circle
of friends.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
One of the most disastrous fires to
occur in Wingham in recent years de
stroyed the planing mill of the Mac-
Lean Lumber and Coal Co., on Thurs
day evening of last week. The estimat
ed loss is about $15,000, partially cov
ered by insurance. The fire started in
the machine department and was first
noticed about 9.15 when the alarm
was immediately turned in. The fire
men were soon on the job and were
playing water on the flames within
a very sort time. The fire had, how
ever, gained such headway that it
took considerable time before it was
brought under control. The building
was a frame structure and in the days
when liquid refreshments were sold
over the open bar it was known as the
Dinsley House, being one of the land
marks of the town.
Mr. Stan Halliday, when driving
home for a holiday, had a flat tire
and upset his Hudson coupe when it
immediately took fire, allowing Stan
but sufficient time to get clear of the
wreck himself, so quickly did the fire
spread,

FIFTEEN YEARS AGO
Although it will be some time before
the golf course will be officially open
ed, some have already started this
summer resort. On Tuesday, Omar
Haselgrove, ’Ken Somers and Ross
Harrison played a round at the Alps.
The high school students at the
noon hour on Wednesday last had vis
ions of a holiday as a spark from the
chimney ignited the shingles. Fanned
by the high wind the roof took fire in
several places but the firemen quick
ly put out the blaze. The damage Was
almost negligible, and the school was
held as usual. The advantage of hav
ing a booster tank on the fire truck
was shown at this fire. The water was-
pumped from the ground level unto
the roof. Previous to the installation
of the booster equipment a fire such
as this would most likely have been
serious as the firemen would have
been without equipment to combat
the blaze.
It is expected that several from
here will attend the revolver matches
to be held in Listowel on Saturday of
this week under the huspices of the
100th Field Battery and the Listowel
Revolver Club,
