HOSPITAL AIIXII IAHY
DISCUSSES TUCK SHOP
The May meeting of the Ladles’
Auxiliary to Wingham General Hos
pital, was held on Friday afternoon
with the president, Mrs. R. E. Mc
Kinney, presiding. The sewing com
mittee reported 119 articles made dur
ing April, which included sheets, bed
spreads, towels, nursery supplies, etc.
Two/sewing groups did the mending
and two evenings were spent making
tags for the tag days in connection
with the rummage sale.
MrS. Morrey, the hospital adminis
trator, was present and gave an in
teresting account of the progress of
the new wing at the hospital, arid
how it will alleviate much of the in
convenience under which everyone is
working at present. She also describ
ed the patients’ rooms in the new
wing as to comfort, furniture, color
schemes, etc,, and told of what might
be required of the Auxiliary in these
connections.
Mrs. McKinney had attended the i’e-'
gional meeting of the hospital aids
which was held in London and she
brought home some highlights from
the reports of the other auxiliaries
which were presented there. She
mentioned some money-making ideas
which were used by other auxiliaries
that might be of benefit here. One
was the tuck shop and travelling cart
which has proved beneficial in many
hospitals, both to patients and auxil
iaries. Mrs. Morrey jsaid that the
hospital board will grant space in the
hospital if the auxiliary cares to adopt
this plan. With this end in view, a
committee was appointed to look into
this matter, so that if adopted; plans
could be made to have the shop ready
for operation in the fall, when the
new wing is opened. The committee
named is Mrs. A. Peebles, Mrs. Wm.
McCool, Mrs. W. VanWyck.
An invitation was received from the
auxiliary of the Bruce County Hospi
tal, at Walkerton, to attend their
“open house” on the afternoon and
evening of hospital day, May 12.' "
COUNCIL PLANS CRACK-DOWN
ON ILLEGAL JOSEPHINE A
STREET PARKING
(Continued from page one.)
Council discussed the matter at
some length and decided that some
thing should be done to protect local
businessmen. The possibility of rais
ing the transient trader’s license was
discussed. Another suggestion was
Wednesday; May 18th will see the
first tournament and 'supper at the
course. This will be the official open
ing for 1955, A men’s tournament will
be played in the afternoon, open to
all. Following this, at 5 p.m. until 6.30
a turkey supper will be served. After
supper a popular mixed two-ball four
some tournament will be played. The
supper charge is 75c and all golfers
and social members are invited to at
tend. These events have been very
popular since started some three years
ago, enhanced no doubt by the at
tractive and pleasant location of the
club house.

Membership is increasing weekly.
Did-you know that green fees are
credited against the membership fee
until June 15th? Many players make
a practice of paying two or three dol
lars every game until they have the
fee completely paid up. Membership
goal this year is set at 150. All mem
bers should remind new players that
there are a certain number of golf
club sets available at the caddy house
at no charge, for the use of beginners.
KIN PAPER DRIVE
A GREAT SUCCESS
Last Wednesday Nelson Cunning
ham and his very efficient committee
conducted one of the most successful
paper drives ever held. The weather
was perfect'and 90% of the members
.turned out to assist, making the pro
ject a tremendous success.
The only disheartening thing was
-the fact that the tractor-trailer did
not arrive from Brantford on
Schedule. Time of arrival was to have
been 1 o’clock but turned out to be
6 p.m. Luckily enough pick-up trucks
find two larger trucks were loaned to
the club and so all the paper had been
gathered and assembled at Nels Cun
ningham's garage in readiness to be
transferred to the trailer from Brant
ford.
At one time about fifteen vehicles
were parked at the loading grounds
and passers-by wondered if a group
of ambitious veterans were preparing
for a monstrous bonfire to celebrate
the anniversary of VE-Day.
The Kinsmen Club wishes to thank
all those who loaned trucks and helped
in any way to make this the great
success it was. Collections would run
between 22 and 25 tons of scrap paper.
Needless to say aching muscles were
in need of attention the next day and
drug stores sold out of liniment in the
first hour or so.
Legion Auxiliary
Euchre Successful
Seventeen tables were in play at the
euchre held in the Legion Home on
Monday evening, sponsored by the
Auxiliary for relief work.
High lady prize went to Mrs. Geo.
Walker, high prize for lady playing
as a man, went to Mrs. Geo. Day, and
Mr. William Kennedy won the high
prize for the gentleman. Mrs. Geo.
Tervit won the lucky draw prize.
made that council control outside
traders through the peddler’s license.
It was decided to get advice from
the town solicitor on the best method
on controlling this type of business.
Garage Operators Back
A petition was received by the
Garage Operators of town, requesting
the town council to pass a by-law pro
hibiting the building of any new ser
vice stations “as of this date."
The petition brought fprth a good
deal of discussion on the question of
restrictive by-laws.
Mayor McKinney said that none of
the surrounding towns had a similar
by-law with the exception of Walker
ton, which had experienced a certain
amount of difficulties keeping the by
law in force. He said he didn’t think
the town should prohibit anyone who
wants to build from building.
Councillor Bill Conron suggested
that if the council goes ahead with
plans for & zoning by-law, service
stations will be automatically preclud
ed from building in* all but industrial
areas, which would, in effect, have the
same result as if a restrictive by-law
had keen passed.
The council finally decided to lay
over the matter of a restrictive by-law
until zoning plans had been drawn
yp. In the meantime members agreed
that future building permits of an
industrial nature should be discussed
by council before being passed,
Discuss Traffic Lights
Council again discussed the problem
of traffic lights. Police Chief Bert
Platt told council that a blinker light
for the approaches of town would cost
approximately $200, that a four-way
traffic light would cost $1,200, and
that a centre drop traffic light would
cost about $8Q0.
The mayor said that he thought
$1,200 was a lot of money to pay for
a traffic light on the corner of Joseph
ine Street and Victoria, but he
thought that one or two blinker lights
might be feasible. t
It was finally decided that the may
or and deputy-reeve should personally
contact responsible members of the de
partment of highways before June 9th
to see if the department would con
tribute in whole or in part to traffic
lights at the Jqsephine-Victoria
corner.
Other Matters
Council received a letter from the
Wingham General Hospital Board
asknowledging payment in full of
Wingham’s share of the new hospital
wing building expenses, in the amount
of $50,000.
A request from the Canadian Legion
for permission to use the council
chambers on Saturday evenings, dur
ing the summer months for bingos,
was given the approval of council.

There are several good golf instruc
tion books on the shelves of the town
library. One in particular uses ex
cellent large photographs to illustrate
the basic golf swing in a manner
much more concise than several
paragraphs of descriptive writing. The
author maintains that it is impos
sible to hit a ball properly if you are
thinking of anything but ‘swinging
the club head.’ He says that all that
contributes to a good swing will fol
low naturally and in proper order
if the player concentrates on swinging
the club head and hitting the ball. I
am inclined to agree providing that
no serious error in stance, grip and
form are present.

The author was almost inclined to
reverse an opinion .made last year re
garding the removal of certain trees
on the number 8' fairway. In a recent
game, after a nondescript drive, he
landed his second shot square in the
centre on the first large elm. The ball
bounced back just short of where it
was played gaining about, 15 yards.
The third shot took off nicely then
curved into the second large elm
again in the centre and bounced back
so far that the net gain on the two
shots was little more than 50 yards
strokes for hole 7.

One of the first beneficial results of
this will be to have bur course offic
ially pared. This will probably be done
by a well known amateur from one
of the London clubs. It is very un
likely that the present figure will be
changed. Par is 34 and this figure
will be 'proven’ is it were, and offic
