[STUMM EXCEED WAR S. OBJECTIVE ...1.••••••••••••1 During Past 4 Years Have Invested Nearly $3900.00, The boys and girls of the Wingham Public, School are to be congratulated: on their splendid response to the War Savings Stamp program during the' past school year, They not only reach- ed time objective, but exceeded it which. is very -characteristic of Wingham. • Last September an objective of $1100' was set for the school, which meant a quota of $137.50 per room. The united efforts of the boys and girls blew the top off the thermometer' to the tune of $23 over the objective,. realizing in all $1123, Most of the looms reached their quota while some far exceeded it. Among the latter,, Grade II came out on top. During the past four years the pup- ils of W. P. S. have invested upwards of $8900.00 in War Savings Stamps, and we believe they have afforded the boys and girls a splendid opportunity to invest a portion of their spending money at a profitable return, and at the same time exposed them to a habit of unselfish saving which many have practised well, We say 'they have' be- cause we understand that the' sale of' War Savings Stamps is to be discon- tinued. RECREATION PROGRAM. A meeting of interest to every citi- zen of Wingham will be held in the Council Chamber on Thursday, July 4th., at 8 p.m., to discuss the idea of co-ordinating all the recreational act- ivities of the town, and appointing a recreational director. The proposed. program would include activities for both our young people and adults. Mr. C.Austerberry of the Ontario Welfare Council of Ontario, will address the. meeting. Delegates from the different organizations in town will be present, but all are invited to come, in fact should feel it their duty to come.
