Mrs. Robert McMurray introduced the guest speaker, Rev. Maurice Mc­ Nabb, of Bluevale Presbyterian Church, who in a thoughtful address on “Bewildered People," said the con­ dition of our Canadian people parallels that of ancient Rome before it fell in 400 A.D. The Romans had power, wealth and every worldly pleasure yet they lacked the best and they met destruction. We have every comfort, provided by technical skill, and yet we are feeling uncertain and bewilder­ ed, the speaker said. We lack moral power. Our need . is spiritual, and temperal blessings cannot meet that need, He said that we have largely lost the source of our inspiration—the Bible. Mrs. R. A. Brook spoke words of appreciation of the address. Mrs. Melvin Craig used the motto “Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you,” illustrating it by reference to the life of Dr. Schweitzer, spoken of as the greatest man in the world—musician, scholar, lecturer, medical doctor, writ­ er, Nobel prize winner of books, yet content to do his best as a missionary doctor in deepest Africa, a healer and a friend of the black man, Gerald and Douglas Thomas played two numbers on clarinets.

Tlie Wingham Advance-Times, Wednesday, November 16, 1955 Page Three TOOK DIAMOND TO TIDE GRAVE Few people know that the widow of Bob Fitzsimmons, the wprld heavy­ weight boxing champion who loved jewels and was buried with pine dia­ monds in his teeth, is living today in the United States, a grey-haired, kind­ ly woman of eighty. She revealed that the Cornish Blacksmith, as Fitzsimmons was call­ ed, never really liked fighting, al­ though he won the world champion- ship at thirty-five. He was one of the ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ most popular boxers who ever fought and lovers of sport often stopped him in the street to shake hands. Soma admirers even followed him into res­ taurants and tipped waiters for the privilege of occupying nearby tables. One of his most sensational knock­ outs was in his contest at New Or­ leans with Dan Creedon, the stalwart and brilliant New Zealander. So lightning-like and devasting was the blow that put Creedon down that when he came to more than eighteen hours later, he thought he and not Fitzsimmons had won the fight, GROCERIES 15 OZ. g .... 2 for 35c | 20 OZ. g .... 2 for 33c | LB. g ................31c.i g DOMESTIC SHORTENING................27t | CARNATION MILK, tails.........2 for 25c | MEATS !
