gj With the Community Players g
This week finds most members of
the Wingham Community Flayers
tired but happy. Their latest produc
tion "Life With Father" turned out
successfully both from the audience
standpoint and the box office. The
weather could not have been more
ideal and the club members were en
couraged to see so many people
out to see the play. Although
the members are very interested in
drama and enjoy putting a play to
gether, when it’s all over it’s really a
great load off the mind.

The annual meeting of the Huron
Branch of the Public School Men
Teachers’ Federation was held in the
Brunswick Hotel, on Wednesday.
Guest speaker at the dinner was
Mayor R. E. McKinney, of Wingham,
who spoke to delegates on the petrol
eum industry.
Officers elected at the meeting
were: Immediate past president,
Clarence Trott, Clinton; president,
Bert Gray, Blyth; vice-president,
Maitland Edgar, Clinton; secretary
treasurer, Duncan McKay, Auburn.
Principal W. S. Beattie, of the
Wingham Public School, a delegate
ito the Public School Men Teachers’
jProvincial Assembly, gave a report on
- the Easter and Christmas meetings
of that organization.
There were seyeral members of the
Goderich Drama Club present at Fri
day evening's performance and they
| highly praised the Wingham produc-
• tion. They said that although they
j have a one-act play festival every
| spring, they have not been able to
‘ get up a three-act play for some
" years. The Goderich club was sur-
I prised to hear that the bulk of the
work of presenting of three-act plays
falls upon the nucleous of the Wing
ham club, about a dozen very keen
members. However, these few feel
that all their labors are worth while

Work Advances
At Courthouse
According to the Huron County
property committee the Courthouse
construction is progressing favorably.
The stone work is proceeding past
the first floor. The inside partitions
are nearly all completed and the vault
doors are in place. To May 31, $232,-
957.97 has been paid to the contractor
and architect not including May ac
counts.
Orval Taylor, chairman of the
Huron County airport committee, told
council the second hangar had been
leased to a manufacturer for $155 per
month of which the county received
$100.
The manufacturer ceased operations
and is now using the hangar for stor
age only with the rent reduced to
$100 per month with the county re
ceiving $75.
How About a Carp Derby? ,i
Down in Port Perry they’re getting
ready for the 8th annual carp derby,
an event which apparently provides
fun and games for' all the anglers in
that neighborhood. Sponsored by the
local rod and gun club, the event is
one fish derby which has the blessing
of the Department of Lands and For
ests.
Perhaps Wingham could do with a
carp derby too. The Maitland has quite
a few of the much-maligned fish, some
of them as big as twenty pounds’ Last
year Harold Dennis, of Lower Town,
snagged a 16-pounder, and we have no
doubt that some of them would go
bigger than that. Largest caught so
far this year at Port Perry was 19
pounds, and one 13-year-old boy is
reported to have caught twenty-five.
Contrary to general belief, carp are
not predators but vegetarians. They
get their food by rooting around on
the bottom for aquatic plants, stirring
up .quite a cloud of mud in the pro
cess. Opinions vary as to their game
ness when caught, but there’s no
doubt that they could throw quite a
bit of weight around on a light line.
Assorted doughballs seem to he the
favorite bait, and the practice in Port
Perry is to chum the area about a
week in advance of the big derby.
The carp, accustomed to feeding in
the same place, take the angler’s of
ferings more readily this way.
Carp are imported, originally from
China, but they came to North Amer
ica from Europe, where in many plac
es they are highly regarded as food
fish. Most people who say they would
never eat carp have never tried, and in
many places they are considered to be
a delicacy. The carp’s looks are
against him, but our guess is that pre
sented in fillets he would probably be
quite palatable.
Wingham fishermen who would like
to have a try at fishing for carp have
a first class chance for testing their
skill right close to home. Underneath
the first bridge south of town there
are about a dozen carp trapped in a
little pond, left there by the spring
flood. They’re still alive and apparent
ly enjoying life, and should be easy
pickings for anyone with a little time
and patience.
Reel Fun
Vic Petteplace, of Teeswater, cathe
home with a couple of whoppers re
cently. Two speckles 14 and 18 inches
long. The story is he got them locally.
Wally Haselgrove has taken the
pledge to keep nothing under 10
inches in the speckled line. Although
it will cut down his fish dinners con-
siderably, Wally will still have the
fun of catching them, and there’ll be
more fish to grow bigger. Perhaps we
should all follow suit. Open deer
season in these parts seems certain
with both Bruce and Huron county
councils in favor. Jack Henderson got
his limit at the Alps last week. Talk
of a turtle industry in Mitchell re
minds us that there is plenty of scope
for snappers on the Maitland)- too.
Although they say turtle meat is
delicious, we figure if you could eat
them you could eat anything. Friday.
opens the season for bass and frogs,
of which there are plenty locally.
Well, the annual tournament was a
’’great success. 65 entries, with a much
better local turn out, played in the
competition. Flayers from Owen
Sound, Mitchell, Seaforth, Goderich,
Listowel and Walkerton were • there.
Teeing off times varied enough to
avoid crowding and waiting at any
point on the course.

Les Binkley, of Walkerton, won low
gross with a 76. Second low gross,
Frank Reid, of Goderich, with Mur
ray Rae and Jack Lloyd tied for
third. First low net: Art Doak, of
Goderich; 2nd., W. B. Conron; 3rd.,
Jack Lloyd, with J. Jackson and N.
Welwood, tied for 4th.

About thirty-five prizes were award
ed, most of them donated by mer
chants and business firms in town.
Special prizes were won by the fol
lowing: Longest drive on No. 1, Les
Binkley; closest approach on No. 9,
C. E. Connors; most honest golfer,
Ed. Edighoffer, with a score we will
not divulge, while Larry Hiseler won
a prize for taking a large number of
strokes on No. 3. A prize for a birdie
on No. 7 was offered but no one scor
ed a three on this hole,

for the excellent supper served. About

Greens keeper, Herb Campbell, and
his men had the course well trimmed
and groomed in advance to make it a
real credit to the club for this tourna
ment. All the work and planning of
Club Capt. Wilfred French and his
committee was well rewarded by the
success of this- enjoyable day.

More players than ever before are
playing the course this year but we
notice that some have not yet paid
the membership dues. The club ex
pects that all local players will be
come members and that the privilege
of paying green fees after June 15th
should be for out of town players and
guests. Dues may be paid to Omar
Haselgrove, Herb Campbell, N. Wel
wood or Frank Madill. Rates are:
men, $20.00; ladies, $10.00. First year
golfers may join for just one half of
the regular amount. The success of
the club depends entirely on support
by increasedmembership.

Instruction and demonstration on
the use of the mid iron clubs will be
dealt with by Mr. Reid on Monday
afternoon this week. Many players,
particularly ladies, have been on hand
for these lessons the past three weeks.
An attempt will be made to have Mr.
Reid repeat the series for another
three weeks. See the information
board at the club house for further
particulars.

casion will be first, $1,000, second,
$500 and third, $200, totalling $5,100.00.
Tickets will entitle the purchasers to

Lion Hugh urged the fullest co
operation of every member in order
to put the project over successfully

ize the sale of tickets, as well as the
names of the team members and tic
kets were distributed.

were Lions Stewart Beattie, Bill Con-
George Howson, Bob Hetherington,
ron, Bill Cruikshank, Whitney Grose,
Bob Hobden, Jack Reavie,, George
Ross and Don Nasmith.
Officers Installed
Before relinquishing his office, pre
sident Bob Hetherington extended his
thanks to members and officers of the
club for the co-opferation and assist
ance he hid been accorded during his
term. He remarked particularly on the
help he had been given by a few of
the members who had taken more
than their own share.of the load, and
said that a completely successful year
had resulted.
Lion Wilbur Tiffin was in charge
of the installation of the following
officers: Lion tamer, Mac McKinney,
tail twister, Mike McPhail; directors,
Jim Carr, Bill Cruikshank, Howard,
Sherbondy, George Howson; 3rd. vice-
president, Bill Conron; ’2nd. vice-
president, Jack Reavie; 1st. vice-
president, Whitney Grose; treasurer,
Norman Welwood; secretary, Floyd
Blakely; president, Hugh Carmichael.
Assuming his new office, the presi
dent expressed his appreciation of the
honor which was his and asked the
wholehearted support of every mem
ber in making the coming year one
of the greatest in the history of Lion-
ism in Wingham.
Honored by Friends
At Bridal Shower
Last Friday evening about 55
friends in Pleasant Valley gathered
at the Legion Hall and presented Mrs.
Clarence Machan with a miscellan
eous shower. Mrs. Machan was the
former Martina Willie, popular bride
of this month.
Mrs. Herb Fuller was convener, as
sisted by the neighbours. The hall
was tastefully decorated with baskets
of flowers and the tea table was
beautiful with a lace cloth centred
with the bride’s cake and silver can-
delabras with pink candles.
Following the opening,, of the gifts,
Martina thanked her many friends
for the lovely gifts and good wishes.
A delicious lunch and a social hour
followed.
PRESENT CERTIFICATES
AT UNITED CHURCH
At the Sunday morning service in
Wfngham United Church, Rev. D, J.
MacRae presented 52 members of the
Young Worshippers League with cer
tificates for church attendance. The
period' extended from September until
the end of June, the records being
kept each Sunday by members of the
Evening Auxiliary. Twenty-one child
ren attained 100% attendance: Karen
Beattie, Robert Beattie, Charlie
Campbell, Wayne Caslick, Brian Cas-
lick, Jane Cruickshank, Brenda Con
ron, Eleanor Goy, Ronald Goy, Lynda
Green, James King, Joe King, James
Machan, Bruce Machan, Nancy Palm
er, Robert Palmer, Russell Robin
son, Jane Salter, Roeli Schipper,
Hilda Tiffin, Ronald Vogan. Those
having 90% or over: Helen Armstrong,
Julia Cruickshank, Ruth Hodgins,
Kathleen Hodgins, John Hopper,
Billie Kerr, George Kerr, Glen Madill,
John Madill, Brenda McLennan, San
dra McLennan, Donald Rintoul, Bobby
Lunn, Joe Vanstone.
Those having 75% and over: Susan
Bennett, Marilyn Chamney, Peter
Callan, Denis Callan, Judy Callan, Hil-
lie Hertog, Dinnie Hertog. Those
reaching 60% and over: Stewart Allan,
Trudy Allan, John’ Bennett, Greer
Dunlop, Neil Edgar, Ruth Ann Hamil
ton, Elaine Moffat, Jill Thompson,
Dale Thompson, Mary Thompson. Mr.
MacRae expressed gratification that
many had moved into higher percent
ages than they had reached last year.
Another interesting part of the
service was the presentation. of a,
cover for the communion table by
the Sigma C. Boys’ Group. This cover
is of wine velvet to match the pulpit
drape and carries • on each end the
crest of the United Church of Canada.
As the boys gathered at the front of
the-church, John Merkley made the
presentation which was .accepted and
dedicated by Mr. MacRae. Regret
was expressed that the boys are
losing their leader, Mr. JackSHeney,
who is leaving town.
Mr. MacRae spoke from the subject,
“The Lad and the Loaves”, the story
told in the sixth chapter of John. He
said that children are never too young
to have a place in the church and,
from the text, illustrated how far-
reaching a small gift may become
when given cheerfully and used by
Jesus.
The music was supplied by the
junior choir with Jean Rintoul sing
ing the solo, “How Lovely Art Thy
Dwelling Places.”
Busy Week-end in Store
(Continued from page one.)
smallmouth bass is the gamest fish
in fresh water.” Most ardent bass
fishermen will agree.
In addition to this, bass endear
themselves to fishermen because they
are usually found in easily accessible
water, and are ready to smash at a
plug or bait throughout the entire
summer months.
Where to find them around Wing
ham doesn't present much of a prob
lem. Three, four and five pounders
have been eaught inside the town
limits, both in the upper and lower
dams. Rumors of other and larger
fish, still uncaught in the same
waters, are continually cropping up.
Fishermen come from as far as
London to fish that part of the Mait
land on the prairie, where there is a
good half mile of solid bass water.
Other tributaries of the Maitland
present equally good opportunities for
tying into a good sized smallmouth,
In fact you could say that bass are
where you find them, and in this
district you’re liable to find them
anywhere.
Incidentally, there’s hardly a bait
or lure that the bass will refuse—if
he’s in the mood. He’s fond of
minnows, crayfish; leeches, grasshop
pers and worms. He’ll strike at spin-
nets, plugs, spoons as used by the
bait-caster, at bugs and streamer
flies of the fly-caster, and at almost
any of the spinning baits. Bass have
even been known to hit a minnow
shaped piece of bologna taken from
a dried-out sandwich by an angler
who had run out of other baits.
It’s safe to predict that, come July
1st, the bridges around Wingham will
be lined with fishermen, most of them
from inside the district. Which only
goes to show that local bass are
appreciated by the outsiders, even if
the local fishermen pass them up.
To Take Course
The majority of home 'economics
teachers throughout the province will
be found at Macdonald Institute,
Guelph, commencing July 4th, for a
special short course of two weeks to
be conducted by Mrs. Bishop, the
originator of the Bishop Method of
Modern Construction. Mrs. Bishop will
retire soon so this will probably be
the last opportunity to study under
her in Canada.
Among those planning to attend are
Miss Comber from Wingham and Miss
McGregor’s sister from Toronto.
