A special church service which Is to be arranged in Wingham in con­ nection With a motorcade of American visitors through Western Ontario on the week-end of July 3rd, seemed to be something of a mystery to members of the cloth in Wingham this week. According to a story in a neighbor­ ing daily newspaper, an expected 2,500 Americans, are planning to visit Wes­ tern Ontario on Independence Day holiday in a big motorcade which will leave Sarnja the morning of July 2nd. Communities along the Bluewater Highway between Sarnia and Owen Sound are said to be preparing a wel­ come for the visitors, and broadcasts and advertisements in border com­ munities and in neighboring parts of the U. S, are inviting the visitors to join the big motorcade. Most Wing- ham churches are planning to cancel their morning services so their con­ gregations will join,, that of the United Church in welcoming the visi­ tors, according to the story. Rev. D, J. MacRae told the Ad­ vance-Times that a service of an international nature had been plan­ ned for the morning of July 3rd, but he wasn’t too sure about the visitors. Apparently the motorcade idea is be­ ing promoted by A. H, Wilford, of Toronto, but plans are a little vague as to whether it will pass through Wingham in its itinerary. More may be known about the plans next week. Services at St, Andrew’s Church will be cancelled that week because Rev. Alex Nimmo will be on holidays, and the congregation will be attending joint gatherings at the United Church during the month of July. Mr. Nimmo apparently knew nothing of the pro­ posed service of welcome. Services at St. Paul’s Church will be conducted as usual, according to Rev. H. L. Parker, who said that a Communion Service had been planned for that date. HELD IN WINGHAM Fifty-one "recreational leaders from eleven communities In the Lake Huron Zone Recreational Council attended the first meeting of a leader­ ship training course held in Wingham last ’Saturday.

The award, entitles Patricia to a 10- day period at the church camp run by the Diocese of Huron on Lake Huron just south of Bayfield.

These pupils were' named by their respective teachers as the best in their class. i H.S. Board OK’s $20,000 Expenditure (Continued from page one.) of the school- Ho told the board that he had been in consultation with auth­ orities on the subject and that he had been assured that tennis courts could pot properly be built except on an 8-inch hard base of crushed stone with a two-inch layer of blacktop. He said that the total cost of the tennis courts would be from $10,400 to $11,000 depending on whether they were surrounded with a ten-fopt or twelve-foot fence. He estimated that the cpst of two courts instead of four would be in the neighborhood of $6,000, Original plans'had called for tennis courts on the front approach to the school, and grading had already been done to level off ground for them. Several of the board members felt that the grading in front of the school, plus XQ-or-12 foot fences surrounding the, courts, would seriously obstruct the view of the school from Carling Terrace, and were of the opinion that the courts should be re-located in an another position. “^After some discussion it was decided to go ahead wth the courts but to place them behind the old high school building where they would not ob­ struct the view. Question Operation Cost With regard to the proposed new kitchen, Bdard member A. D. Mac-- William expressed the opinion that the initial cost of the kitchen might not be so much a question for consid­ eration as the cost of operating the kitchen after it is built, He said that a trained dietitian would have to be employed to manage the cafeteria, and that the school might find that low cost meals would result in a de­ ficit. _ Other members seemed to feel that If other high schools could do it, Wingham could do' it, and it was de­ cided that plans for the remodelling of the kitchen should go ahead. the (Continued from page one.) x the cemeteries in grass after land­ scaping has been done. Each ceme­ tery' will have a cairn erected, with headstones set into the cement. Within the past few weeks the old Bethel cemetery, which dates back to the 1860’s; has been levelled off and the tangle of underbrush cut out. Situated on the 4th concession, this plot formerly contained Bethel Church, which was dismantled many years ago. Many of the1 names on the headstones belonged to un­ known people whose relatives have moved away, but a number of them were original pioneers of the town­ ship. The stones have been collected and will be used in a cairn when it is erected.. . . The Catholic Cemetery on the 7th concession is an example of what can be done with an old cemetery. Here the neighbors pitched in and with the help of the council, did a very creditable job of cleaning-up a ceme­ tery which had deteriorated badly. It is expected that the cemetery at Sunshine will show a like improve­ ment after the topsoil has been put in and the plot has been seeded. Two more cemeteries have yet to be cleaned up in the Township, and work is expected to be started on these within the next year. The town­ ship council is hoping to have them all in shape in time for the centennial celebrations next year. Issue Building Permits for $25,900 A total of $25,900 in building per­ mits was approved by council at its meeting ‘ on Monday of last week. Four of the six permits issued were for commercial purposes. Permits were issued as follows: Percy Stain­ ton, Josephine Street, new store front, on south half of building. Elmer Wilkinson, Josephine Street, poured concrete addition on rear centre store to be used , as warehouse. Wingham Manufacturing Company, Albert Street, steel siding factory on studding, no floor. Harold Remington, Catherine Street, brick veneer dwelling. E. S. Stuckey, Victoria Street, frame dwelling, part brick siding. 'John Pattison, Josephine Street, apartment above store. PURSE WITH $130 RETURNED TO OWNER Mrs. Earl Harrison, of Teeswater, while returning from Mildmay last week, missed her purse which had been lying on the car seat beside her. A thorough search revealed it was not in the Vehicle and she realized that one of her small children must have thrown It out the window some­ where along the way. Since the purse contained about $130. a search was instituted and the slow task of driving back and forth to Mildmay four or five times, was undertaken. Hope or recovery Of the money was just about given tip When Mrs- Har­ rison received a phone call from Mrs. Isadora Hehn, of Greenock, that she had picked up the purse along the road.
