The Wingham Advance-Times, 1955-09-28, Page 1« Subscription 13.00 per year, 7c per copy —UMM— ALONG THE MAIN DRAG By The Pedestrian REVEILLE—Residents * on Centre Street were awakened from a sopnd sleep at 5 a.m. last week to hear a peculiar noise in the neighborhood which sounded like a siren. Gord Bu­ chanan thought there was a fire and got dressed • and went down town. Others got up, looked out of raised windows and went back to bed mysti­fied- Turns out it was' the horn on Charlie Bondi’s Cadillac, which de­ veloped a short circuit and blew for about half an hour before waking Charlie out of a sound sleep. Charlie says that the reason it didn’t sound like a horn to the neighbors is that it got worn down from blowing, and he doubts if it will ever sound like a horn again. 0-0-0 WHAT’S YOUR LINE?—An in­ dustrial pamphlet for the Town of Wingham is now being prepared and the people who are putting it together are looking for a short, snappy slogan for the town. Any ideas? 0-0-0 WELCOME BACK—The publisher and staff of this paper are proud to announce the return of one of the most popular columns this paper has ever had the privilege of publishing. We refer, naturally, to the contribu­ tions of Sgt. "Windy” Grover. Know­ ing the popularity of his “On Parade” column, we have made special ar­ rangements with a local trucking firm for a couple of 60-cwt. trucks to take care of the fan mail. 0-0-6 SCHEDULED, ANYHOW —Wing­ ham’s Juveniles are still waiting to hear who they’ll play for the Ontario Juvenile Championship and the East­ erners, Madoc and Brooklin, are still battling it out for the honor.

This will be the last ball game of the season in Wingham, since the second game will be played in Brooklin and the third on neutral ground. 0-0-0 SIGNS OF FALL —Wingham’s famous flowerpots have disappeared from the local scene for another win­ ter. With the weather we’ve been hav­ ing lately, perhaps they should set up the Christmas trees in their place.

TO MARK OPENING OF NEW STORE FRONT One of the oldest businesses in Wingham, McKibbons Drugs, will celebrate the opening of a new store front this week. The modern front, one of the latest t'o grace the main street, was started several weeks ago. The business has been operating for over fifty years in the same building block on the main street in Wingham. Originally owned by the late John Davis, the business was purchased from him by J. Walton McKibbon, father of the present owner, in 1901. Since that time many changes have been made on Josephine Street but the business has remained in the Mc­ Kibbon family. In the year 1908, Mr. McKibbon joined the Drug Trading Company, associating his store with their wide facilities. In 1913 The Rexall organi­ zation came to Wingham through the McKibbon Drug Store, it being the 27th Rexall contract signed in Canada. Mr. McKibbon was well known throughout the district for his work on the hospital board, as a member of the town council, as Warden of Huron County and in many other organiza­ tions, as well as through his business contacts. Mr. McKibbon ceased active partici­ pation in the business about 1942, at which time his son, John P. McKib­ bon took over the management. He purchased the business in 1945. Jack attended school in Wingham and apprenticed in his father’s store. He later attended Ontario College of Pharmacy, graduating in 1937. Fol­ lowing two years with the Liggett Drug Stores in Chatham and Sarnia, he returned to Wingham to work with his father, managing the business after. his father’s retirement. The new store front which is being opened this week, represents the first major change in the exterior of the store since the business came into the McKibbon family over fifty years ago. It will do much to improve the appearance of Wingham’s main street shopping district.

The Altar Guild had decorated the church with a profusion of flowers, grain, vegetables and fruit, provided as thankofferings by the members of the congregation. Thanksgiving Communion was cele­ brated by the rector, the Rev. H. L. Parker at 8.30 a.m. Church school fol­ lowed at 9.45 with the children meet­ ing for the last time at this hour.

Dr. Taylor taking as his subject, "Boaz the Model of Kindness.” The junior choir, under Mr. Connell’s dir­ ection, sang Healy Willan’s arrange­ ment of the "Te Deum Laudamus.” At this sei-vice the people of St. Paul's welcomed as their guests friends from St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and Wingham United Church, Bridge Club Starts Tomorrow Night The Wingham Bridge club resumes its regular season of Thursday night play tomorrow night, at 8 o’clock at their meeting room above the fire hall.

Mines, of Niagara Falls, N.Y., a former resident of Wing­ ham and Turnberry Township, was a visitor in town last week, and dropped in to The Advance-Times office to renew his subscription. A regular reader of the "Remin­ iscing*' column, JHr. Mines says that while he doesn’t recognize many of the names appearing in the news columns these days, he still finds plenty of interest in the regular editorial page feature which re­ calls the happenings of 15, 25, 40 and 60 years ago...' "I wouldn’t be without it,” he told the Advance- Times staff. Born on the sixth of Turnberry, Mr. Mines has been away from these parts for nearly 30 years, but still has many friends in the district. Wingham People to Hear Billy Graham Two bus loads of Wingham people are expected to leave here next Wed­ nesday to attend services in the Coli­ seum Building at the ONE grounds there, conducted by Billy Graham, world famous evangelist. Rev. J. L. Coyle, of the Wingham Baptist Church, who is arranging the trip, says that one bus has already been filled, but that there will be still room on the second bus for a few of those who wish to attend. The buses will go directly to the Coliseum and return to Wingham following the service. The time of departure has been set for 3.30 p.m. Those interested in making the trip should contact Mr. Coyle. New Schedule on Orangeville Run Curtails Train Service to Wingham A change in schedule on the Orangeville to Teeswater run of the Canadian Pacific Railway went into effect on Sunday, September 25, and will result in the curtailing of service to Wingham on that railway. Under the new schedule there will be one train a day from Orangeville to Teeswater, with the same crew making the return trip one half hour after the train’s arrival in Teeswater. There will be only one call in at Wing­ ham, instead of two as previously, The train from Orangeville will now reach Wingham at 2.02 p.m., arriving at Teeswater at 2,35. It will leave there for the return trip to Orange­ ville at 3.05, but vyill not call in at Wingham on the way back. Passeng­ ers wishing to go from her to Orange­ ville will go via Teeswater in future, with a half-hour stopover there be- Four Children Still Missing As School Strike in 4th Week Officers Elected At CGITMeeing The first meeting of the season for the Wingham branch of the Canadian Girls in Training was held at the United Church last Tuesday.

Vanvelsior Passes at Hospital At Wingham General Hospital on Sunday, September 18, there entered into rest a well-known and dearly beloved citizen of Wroxeter in the person of Mrs. W. E. Vanvelsior, after an illness of one year. Susan Annette Ferris Vanvelsior, 83, was born in Courtland, Elgin County. In 1905 she was united in marriage with W. Eugene Vanvelsior, a school teacher, who predeceased her eight years ago. They first lived at Mildmay and later at Bluevale and Wroxeter where he conducted a general store for many years. Surviving are a son, Laurie, Hamil­ ton; Miss Rona Vanvelsior, principal of Fordwich Public School and two grandchildren, Jean and Douglas Mc­ Lellan, of Oshawa. A daughter, Hazel (Mrs. Frank McLellan) died twelve years ago. Mrs. Vanvelsior was a' supporter of the former Methodist Church in the village and later the United Church and for many years sang in the choir. She had a keen interest in the life of the community and will be greatly missed by a wide circle of friends. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon from the Edgar funeral home, Gorrie, with Rev. Harold West, Belmore United Church, in charge. Pallbearers were Frank McLellan, Grdon Mundell, Hugh Doig, Ken Ed­ gar, Norman Wade and Robert Con­ nell. The flower bearers were Douglas McLellan, John Borger, Harold Pol­ lock and Lloyd Hupfer. Interment was made in Wroxeter cemetery, Parents of four children in the Zet­ land area,••••Who ’have ’be'eri away from school for almost a month as the re­ sult of differences between the par­ ents and the school board, may face prosecution for failing to send their children to school it was learned this week. Gordon Wray, truant officer for the Township of Turnberry, told the Ad­ vance-Times yesterday that four pu­ pils of the original seventeen who had been kept home by their parents following differences with the school board, were still away from school, despite visits to the family and urg- ings that the children be sent to school. Three of the absent children are from one family. Parents of the fourth child may not be obligated to send him to school because of his age. The continued absence of the child­ ren from school is apparently a re­ mit of a "strike” organized by parents of pupils in the Zetland area, three weeks ago. At the beginning of the school term 17 pupils were kept home from school because their parents ob­ jected to them being sent by bus to Powell’s school on the 6th of Turn­ berry instead of to the Lower Town school, which they would normally have attended. Overcrowding at the Lower Town school was the reason given by the board for sending them to Powell's. Last week 13 of the pupils appeared at Powell’s school and at that time it was thought that the remainder would be returning throughout the week. Mr. Wray told The Advance-Times that he had contacted the parents of the child­ ren last Friday, and that they had given him the impression their child­ ren would be back to school on Mon­ day. None of the children were back to school either Monday or Tuesday. A meeting between the truant of­ ficer and J. H. Kinkead, public school inspector, was scheduled for last night to discuss what further action should be taken in the case. Elected Secretary At Huron Reunion Rev. H. L. Parker, rector of St. Paul’s Anglican Church, was appoint­ ed secretary .of the Alumni Association of Huron College at a meeting of the association in London last week. Rev. J. E. G. Houghton, of Oldcastle, was elected president of the association and Rev. D. D. Jones, of London, was named immediate past president. Other executive officers are Rev. H. R. Montgomery, Watford, first vice-president; Rev. P. S. Harding, Forest, second vice-president; and Rev*. G. G. Russell, Stratford, treas­ urer. About 110 ministers attended the reunion from the Huron, Michigan and Niagara diocese. Few Accident Victims Treated at Hospital The number of accident victims treated at the hospital showed a con­ siderable drop last week, with only two persons being admitted to hos­ pital as the result of mishaps. Miss Belle McDowell, of Wroxeter, Who is over 80, fell at a nursing home and fractured her right hip. The hip was pinned at the hospital where her condition was reported as fair. William Domer, 34, of Stratford, fractured his left ankle and sustained spinal injuries when he fell off the roof of the United Church in Luck­ now on Monday. He was admitted to hospital, where his condition is sat­ isfactory. NEIGHBORS PITCH IN TO RAISE NEW BARN Neighbors of Henry J. Pattison, of the 10th concession of East' Wawa- nosh, pitched in to help this week in the building of a new bam to replace the structure destroyed by 'fire as a re­ sult of lightning last June. Twenty-five district fanners, as well as five framers staged a barn­ raising bee on Monday, using eleven tractors to put up the framework. Timbers for the new building were taken from another barn in the dis­ trict. The new barn will have a steel roof. Ladies of the community contribut­ ed their services by taking turns at feeding the men during the erection of the new building and also during the time the old barn was being torn down. Fred Deacon was in charge of the bee. Framers were Bob Douglas, Stanley Cook, Rutherford Reavie and Kenneth Scott. On Parade! by "Windy” Well folks, here is your old pal Windy back again after being AWOL for awhile (that means Absent With Out Leave not Always With Out Linen). The long lay off has put fresh ideas in my head and now I will try and put them on paper. o-o-o There have been many things plan­ ned for this season, a large-scale re­ cruiting drive, many courses other than those run by the unit, a Meaford week-end scheme, also an Ipperwash small arms shoot, so we will be quite busy till Christmas. 0-0-0 Guess the next important matter is the promotions that have gone through Sgt. “Buck” Sinnamon has been made Sgt.-Major (WO2) and Gunners Glenn Appleby, Jack McKnight, Ian Gibbons have been made “Bumsteers” (I mean Bombardiers.) Congratula­ tions lads, now earn it. What am I saying? They may make me do that and after all these years. o-o-o The next important item is the battery ball team known as the Juv­ eniles. The battery was pleased and proud to sponsor the team and has been paid back by the splendid re­ cord they have set this year by once again going all the way to the ^.11- Ontario finals. Special thanks to Vic Loughlean and Ivan Gardner, the coaches. (P.S. I am the manager, or why would I print all these nice things ?) o-o-oThe RHQ and 99th Bty held their first regular training night of the fall season and were in very good attend­ ance, in fact about the best in many months. We will be cramped for space if we don’t watch out. Guess we will have to put elastic walls in the place. 0-0-0 Gunnery training was under the dir­ ection of WO 2 "Buck” Sinnamon, and believe it or not he was not bellowing like a bull as Sgt.-Majors have the reputation of doing. Instead he was very meek and mild. Maybe he is re­ hearsing for the big day. What is the big day? That is a surprise. 0-0-0The signal section was very busy under the direction of Bdr "Mighty” Stapleton, but as the evening went on something went sour, and he and Bdr Borden Jenkins were seen repairing a cable layer. They had parts all over the floor. Now they’ve put it back to­ gether but whether it still is a cable layer we will have to wait and see. Are you sure it is not a mix master, Borden? 0-0-0 The MT section were out driving the new trucks all evening. You know, just like Christmas. You just can’t keep them away, not even with a and good attendance is expected from club, but the boys are really enthused now on. These new trucks arc very powerful, not like the old ones that wouldn’t pull a clucking hen from a nest. And aS a word of warning, poor pity the man that puts marks on one of them. If he does he will have (Continued on page ten.) B.C. 15 WONDERLAND FOB ONTARIO VISITORS We believe it now! You haven’t seen anything until you’ve been to British Columbia, After two weeks in the Pacific province we have an en­ tirely new conception of the beauty which can be seen within our own Dominion. Leaving* Wingham on September 7th, we enjoyed every moment of the three nights and four days required to reach Vancouver, and no small part of the enjoyment was due to the efficient services and delicious meals provided by Canadian National Rail­ ways, over whose lines we travelled. It would not be difficult to write a complete story on the changing scene through Northern Ontario, and across the seemingly endless Prairies, but all recollections are dwarfed by the awesome magnitude of the Canadian Rockies. Our first sight of the mountains came about 10.30 in the morning, after leaving Edson, Alberta—and from that time until darkness caught up with us on the British Columbia slope of the Great Divide the un­ ending panorama of towering peaks and shadowed valleys continued. Jas­ per is in itself a mountain fairyland, ringed on all sides by the mighty Rockies. Although ,the traveller by train does not see the famous lodge, the village street is a blaze of color, with carefully tended flower beds on every side. Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies is, of course, a special point of interest, and the train stops for five minutes for the benefit of sightseers and camera fans. The C.N. route follows the valleys of the Fraser and the Thompson rivers for 800 miles until the train arrives in the beautiful city of Van­ couver. Great Modern City Perhaps the visitor’s first and most lasting impression of Vancouver is the cleanliness of the downtown streets and the magnificence of the view across Burrard Inlet to the mountains which lie in North and West Van­ couver. A bus trip through these suburbs with thousands of homes looking down into the heart of the city was one of the highlights of our visit. Once more an entire chapter could be devoted to the Lions Gate Bridge, Stanley Park, the Capilano Canyon and a dozen more beauty spots in and around Vancouver. An extremely enjoyable event in connection with the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association convention, which we were attending, was a trip up the coast as guests of the Can­ adian Pacific Railways aboard their steamer, the Princess Patricia. The boat threads its way through a maze of islands, each of which appears to be a nature-lover’s paradise. Vancouver Island To cross the straits to Vancouver Island on September 16 we once again boarded the Patricia, for one of the most interesting voyages imaginable. Once more tlie wound its w&y among the famed Gulf Islands on a four-and-a-half hour trip which car­ ries the visitor south from Vancouver to the capital city at Victoria. Almost all of our readers have heard the tales of Victoria, with its miles of flower beds, every post in the downtown area festooned with flow­ ers, thousands of homes with never- to-bo-forgotten gardens and fruit trees (Continued on page ten.) fore starting for their destination. Under the former schedule train* left Orangeville and Teeswater during the afternoon, passing each other en route. Both eastbound and westbound trains called in at Wingham. Reports that a diesel engine will- be used on the run in future have been confirmed here, but the first run on the new schedule was made with the original steam engine which has been used on the line for many years. May Effect Mail The change in schedule on the Orangeville to Teeswater run may have effected the mail route carried on that line. Fraser Forgie, who picks up Wingham mail at the railway stat­ ion, received word on Monday that mail service on the train from Orangeville to Teeswater would be discontinued at the first of next year. The letter did not intimate how mail on this route would be handled­ in future, but it is expected that a motor vehicle service from Orange­ ville, similar to that which replaced train service between London and Wingham may supplant the present system. A further development in the local mail service may be tied in with the present trend towards mail service by truck. Post office authorities have announced that the Glenannan post office will be closed September 30th, and mail now being delivered through Glenannan will in future be served by Wingham’s rural route No. 2. Mail to Glenannan is now being delivered along with mail to Teeswater, by the CPR. ...........-... Name Delegates to Huron Presbyterial Mrs. Keith McLaughlin was host to the regular meeting of the Young* Women’s Auxiliary of the Wingham United Church, attended by 29 mem­ bers, with president, Mrs. R.oss Hil­ bert presiding. It was decided that Mrs. Roy Bennett and Mrs. A. Gibson Would be the Auxiliary’s delegates to the Huron Presbyterial in White­ church on September 29th. Mrs. Keith McLaughlin reported seven visitations dhring the previous months.

Prayer was given by Mrs. Lovell McGuire with a reading “God Guidance” by Mrs. Johnson. Mrs. Robert Carbert was in charge of a Bible quiz. The hymn “Take My Life” closed the devotional period. Following the benediction a dainty lunch was served by the group in charge. Ryan-Sanderson Vows In Bluevale United A lovely autumn wedding was sol­ emnized on Saturday afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Sanderson, Bluevale South, when their daughter, Hazel, was united in marriage with Howard Ryan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Ryan, of Brussels. Rev. R. A. Brook, Blue vale United Church officiated. Mrs. Donald Rob­ ertson, played the wedding music and Donald Robertson was soloist. Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a waltz-length gown of Chantilly lace over satin. The strap­ less model faetured a jacket, lily­ point sleeves and sweetheart neckline. Her veil of tulle illusion was caught with a coronet trimmed with seed pearls and she carried a white Bible with red rose buds. Attending the bride was her sister, Ruby, who wore a gown of blush pink similar in style to that of the bride. Her flowers were a nosegay of blue ’mums. Margaret Edgar, niece of the bride, was flower girl and wore a dainty dress of pale blue. She wore a wreath of small white roses in her hair and carried a basket of flowers. Following the ceremony the bride’s mother received, wearing a figured dress in mauve and green shades. Her corsage was of mauve and white ’mums. For her going away costume, the bride chose a dress of turquoise with black accessories and top coat of blue. Following the trip to Northern Ontario, the bride and groom will take up residence on highway 86, south of Bluevale. Friends from Guelph, Brussels, Lis­ towel and Atwood attended the wed­ ding.
