Public invited. SAFETY FILMS TO BE SHOWN Help to Stop Accidents by Prevention, 1 ■ RESERVE POND IN PARK FOR CHILDREN’S FISHING This year for the first time, many children will have the opportunity to borrow father’s fishing equipment, and come back with a catch of trout that will make Dad’s eyes green with envy. On Saturday, May 14th, 1955, Coro­ nation Park at Mildmay will be the scene of great fishing activity by the youngsters. This fishing extra ordin­ ary is being sponsored by the Saug- een Valley Conservation sAuthority. Plans for this special children’s day were set in motion two years ago when the department of lands and forests was asked to consider the possibility of keeping some speckled trout year­ lings for a second year so that they would be at least the legal seven inches in length when planted. This has now been accomplished and some very fine trout up to thir­ teen inches are available for this pur­ pose. Ten special junior game wardens have been appointed by the Saugeen Valley Authority who control the park at Mildmay. These boys will keep a sharp watch on the park to see that no person over 16 years of age spoils the youngster’s fun by fish­ ing out the planted trout. Each youngster will be required to register at the park when the fishing officially begins at 9:00 a.m. on May 14th, The children will also have their trout checked upon leaving the park, for some of the trout will bear serially numbered tags, for which cash prizes will be offered. Each angler will be allowed a limit of three trout. Par­ ents are welcome to participate in the instructions of the young fry on how to fish. The park at Mildmay will be reser­ ved for children’s angling only for the entire season. Except for May 14th, the hours are from 1.00 p.m. until 9.00 p.m. in the evening. A similar scheme for children’s angling is planned by the Waterloo County Fish and Game Club for Mill Creek at Galt. The number of waters which can be set aside for such a purpose is limited, as only a few fish can be carried over and reared to legal length.

Chambers Hardware (Formerly Moffatt Hardware) Wroxeter Ontario Service Station Permit Protested (Continued from page one.) two outlets across the road from each other, since Crossett Motors now has the agency for Supertest products. Mr. McKinney replied that the com­ pany was afraid of losing its present outlet and was protecting itself by purchasing the property in question. Jim Carr stated that the garage operators had approached a previous council asking that restrictive meas­ ures be placed on the building of more service stations in town, but that a by-law had never been passed to this effect. Mr. McKinney, speaking as a member of the council, said that no regulations were in effect but that the council could consider drawing up such a by-law if the garage operators requested it. Approval Routine In answer to a question by Mr. Crawford as to whether the approval of the permit had been granted in routine manner, Clerk W. A. Gal­ braith assured the" delegation that the permit had. been passed in council in the same manner as other permits. Approval was almost automatic after the permit had been approved by the building inspector, he said. Nelson Cunningham stated that ’his building permit had been held up more than once "by council before approval. Mr. McKinney said that Supertest has no assurance that their present outlet will carry on. He pointed out that to protect their interests the company has seen fit to buy the pro­ perty and erect a building, and he re­ minded council that it would mean more taxes for the town. Mr. Carr said that the company has five out­ lets now. "Do they want them all?” he asked. a I fl i Thurs., Fri., Sat., “TEN WANTED MEN” May 5-6-7 F fl fl fl fl fl ■ fl fl Randolph Scott and Jocelyn Brando star in this blood-and-thunder melodrama of the old west which is photographed in technicolour and set with eye-filling scenic backgrounds. Matinee Saturday afternoon at 2.00 p.m. a Mr. McDonald said that he felt an­ other station would cause undUe hard­ ship to those operators who depend on oil and gas sales for their living. He said that another station won't bring more business to Wingham, and he asked council to request Supertest to accept the rescinding of the per­ mit. Mr. McKinney suggested that if the Crossett garage would accept reasonable terms from the company the matter would be settled amicably. Ask Company to Reconsider Following the withdrawal of the delegation a motion was made that council write the Supertest Company, advising it of the operators feelings on the matter, and ask that the com­ pany re-cohsider its plans for a hew outlet. i A brilliant cast brings to the screen John Harris’ novel which spot­ lights the courage of those men who found themselves at the mercy of the sea. Starring are Michael Redgrave, Birk Bogarde, and Bonnar Colleano. Church in huron to erect statue Flans are being made by St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church on the Blue- Water Highway, to erect a statue to venerate the memory of Brother Andre, founder of the famous Mount Royal Oratory. The problem of keeping old indus­ tries in town and bringing new one here was just as much a live question in Wingham of 1874 as it is today, according to a clipping from the Wingham Advance of 1874, kindly sent to us by D, M. Forteous, of Brussels. All that is required is “capital, co-operation and a determin­ ation on the part of all interested,” according to the story, which we re­ print below. MANUFACTURES. November 10—1874 We are glad to hear that there is a probability of the Wingham Furniture Factory being again started, and the capital doubled, and we take this op­ portunity of reminding our villagers of the vast importance of giving this company every encouragement in their power, and to remember that one manufactory, employing from forty to fifty men, is of more real benefit to any place than three times the number of farmers coming into it, for while a farmer only buys his dry goods and groceries, the mechanics and workmen buy everything. ' Again, the profit and all moneys changing hands in connection with manufactories in wood are spent in the village, while it is only the profit of the merchant that remains in the place, the bulk of the money being sent to the wholesale dealers in the city. Really, it is therefore the mer­ chants that '‘reap the largest profits from manufacturies, in selling goods to workmen employed in them. At a low estimate, a factory em­ ploying forty hands would bring into the trade of a village $10,000 a year, to be distributed among merchants, shoemakers, tailors, &c. We there­ fore, ask, if it is not very important to every man, in any ordinary busi­ ness, that manufactories should be sustained and encouraged. The mer­ chant who can secure $1,000 of this kind of trade, and have a profit of twenty per cent, thereon, clears his two hundred dollars a year, and we have no doubt but there are more than one merchant in this town who could, with a factory employing forty hands, do quite as large a trade with them as we have just stated. We understand that an effort will be made to have the company started under Letters Patent with a Limited Liability clause, and that the mer­ chants and business men of the place will be asked to subscribe from one share—of $25—to fifty shares, and that carrying out the principle of this Act, a Board of Directors, of not more than nine nor less than three will be appointed, to meet every week for the directing of the most important part qf the business. With the first-class business man we have in this place, we see no difficulty in the shareholders select­ ing, say, seven of our shrewdest men, and with an increased capital of $6,000 and some changes in the nature of the businesses, adding, in addition to fur­ niture, the manufacturing of sash and doors and planing machine,--we say, with these changes, and a hearty co-operation of all interested, we see no reason why Wingham should not, before many months, be able to boast of one of the finest factories in the’ Province. All that is required is capital, co­ operation, and a determination on the part of all interested, and Wingham must rise and rise to a position that no village in Huron or Bruce can possibly expect to. LOTS OF FISHERMEN BUT CATCHES DOWN There were plenty of fishermen pounding the local streams on Satur­ day, the opening day of the trout season, but no exceptional catches were reported. Scotty Ross dropped in to the Advance-Times office with a full quota of fifteen trout towards the middle of Saturday morning, but few others were as successful. Average catches seemed to be approximately six fish, and the fishing was reported to be spotty throughout the province. Several anglers who reported full creels last year were disappointed over the week-end, but riever-say-die fishermen are hoping that conditions will improve in the near future. Attend Convention In Niagara Falls Mr. and Mrs. Ian Hammerton and family left for Niagara Falls on Sunday, where Mr, Hammerton will attend the annual convention of the Ontario Society of Photographers, being "held there Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week at the Shdraton-Brock Hotel.
