However a faster completion time and a better score in the written test gave Madill the win. The team will now compete in the Canadian National Finals in which teams from all across Canada compete for the National Championship. The problems with the car were as follows: all the spark plug and coil wires were in a neat bundle on top ' of the valve cover; the rotor was missing; the hose for the heated air inlet system had been removed; there Was no gasket between the air clean- er and the carburetor and this was just for starters! Later the team found screws and limiter caps missing from the carburetor and two bad spark plugs and a burnt out back-up lamp. The afternoon became more interesting when it was BM SERVICES MANAGEMENT 'From the F.E. Madill school news in the Wingham Advance Times 'Each year the Chrysler Corporation of Canada, in co-operation with its local dealers, sponsors a trouble- shooting contest. New cars are "bugged" with faulty parts and the trouble shoot- ers have to identify, locate and replace the parts and bring the car back to operite within the' manufacturer's specifications. Crawford Motors of Wingham have always sponsored a team from Madill. After placing in the top three in earlier competitions - we were second last year - we were pleased to place first this year in the regional competition. The team con- sisted of Bruce Armstrong and David Miller, both Grade 12 students. The competition was very close, with the three top The Walton Women's Institute was opened by the new President Mrs Harold Hudie on Wednesday evening May 23 in the Community Hall wih 18 members and' three guests present. Minutes were read by Mrs. Jim Axtmann. District Annual report was given by Mrs. Ken McDonald followed by Mrs. Nelson Reid giving an interesting outline of her 3 days at the area conference she attended in Waterloo. Mrs. Emerson Mitchell introduced her guest Mrs. Betty Audet of Palmerston who told of her trip by map to Jamaica. She brought many articles on display she had purchased there, such as straw baskets, straw hat and straw place mats and bread baskets, beads t a carved cane. She brought coral and stones which her husband had taken up a hobby of cutting, and polishing. She mounts them in jewellery of necklaces and ea.rrings. There was a big supply on display and many were interested in purchasing one of the lovely articles. Mrs. Audet was thanked and presented with a gift by Mrs. Mitchell who also donated door prizes to Mrs. Ron Bennett and Mrs. George McCall. Mrs. Jean Humphreys of Palmerston won the prize for coming the farthest, ' .discovered that the insulated pliers required for handling the high tension wires were in Wingham. David Miller had a shocking afternoon to the tune of at least 250,000 volts in total by his calcu- lation.. The boys had all the problems corrected and eng- ine in operation in 57 min- utes; this was the hood closing time. At the final judging there were some tense moments when the engine would not idle up to speed, but for some reason it regained its normal speed and the boys lost only one point for not. having the heated air inlet hose in a clip. A good showing in the written test that precedes the practical test broke the three- way tie for first and allowed Madill to win. It was a terrific team effort by both David and Bruce. Well done! reported of more plans the Branch Directors have made for the Bus trip on September 12. The rext meeting on June 20 will have the 4-H girls, mothers and leaders as. guests.

Correspondent MRS. JOE WALKER 357-3558 Eldon McKinney and George Thomson brought back memories when they spoke at the May meeting of the Women's Institute. Mr, McKinneyrecalled the hist- ory of milling, one of .the many Bluevale industries years ago, and Mr. Thomson told of buttermaking down through the years. Mr. McKinney stated that the Leich family built a dam 123 years ago, brought equipment from Seaforth and started a flour mill, later expanding with ar, sawmill and flax mill. In 1800 it was sold to Duff and Stewart who changed it to grind grain rather than make flour. A shingle mill was also built. The ownership was changed several times, the mill being owned by Charles Garniss, Black Bros. and McLeods. In 1941 McKinney Bros. bought the mill and changed from water wheel power to gas engine. The present owners, Schmidt Bros. changed to diesel engine and the pond was taken over by the Con- servaton Authority. Mr. Thomson spoke about the cheese factory being operated by Woodstock Company with shares sold to milk suppliers. The building was destroyed by fire twice and rebuilt. In 1931 the Thomson family bought the property and the first milk transportation was in a model T Ford roadster and trunk. The ice used was transported from Goderich and later cut and drawn from Bluevale pond. Don Robert- son and Archie Parker bought the building and operated it for 17 year's.
