More British and. Canadan officers. are attending staff schools in the U. S. than ever before, and more Americans' are attending military schools in ',bit- ain and Canada than in previous years. Some interchange of specific weapons is contemplated, and the secret of how to make an atomic bomb is shared by the three countries, Co-operation be- tween Canada and the V,S, has been extremely close, particularly in . plan- ning the defense of the Arctic regions. The three English-speaking nations are not allowing the mlitary collabora, tion they developed during the war to lapse while they continue to presS. for a world solution to the problem of se- curity. * S 4: WEEKLY THOUGHT Proverbs 1:7 "The fear of theLord is the beginning of knowledge; but fools despise wisdom and instruction.'-' „ KNOW WINGHAM HOW WINGHAM GOT ITS NAME (The Wing-ham Ailvance of Dec. 1, 1921), "Where the Eagle of the Lofty Wing Makes its Home", The name Wingham. was given to the town by the surveyor, and is of In- dian origin, translated from the two words of their language, "Wing" and "Ham", meaning "where the eagle of the lofty wing makes its home". The first settlers located in that part of the town known as Lower Wing- ham, and Edward Farley was the first resident in the town plot of Wingham. In the days prior to the Old .Great Western Railway coming through here, there was much enmity, between the residents of the two parts of •the town, then called "Slab Town" and "Rowdy . Hill". The first church built' was in Lower .Wingliam, and was of Baptist denom- ination, with the Rev. Thos. Sinclair, as minister, The first store was open- ed by T. G. Jackson in Lower Town, while a gristmill and a sawmill were also established in that part of the town by Messrs, Peter and Archie Fisher. Two mills of the same nature were opened in Upper Town by John and Thomas Gregory. Wingham was incorporated as a town in 1879..

And local enterprise is wide awake. 1,k• KINCARDINE PORT Our neighbouring town, Kincardine, has a movement under way to make that place a major lake port, through the extension of harbour facilities and construction of loading docks and el- evators. The cost of the latter would be the responsibility of the municipal- ity and private enterprse. A committee, headed by G. H. Link- later, Kincardine, former Wingharnite, and including representatives of At- wood, Wingham and Lucknow firms, has been a year and a half procuring information an'd plans for the expan- sion, They report: that Works Mini- ster, Alphonse Fournier, has assured them of $1,500,000.00 financial assist- ance from the Government, If the project is carried out, a tnrn- ing basin will be built south of the pre- sent harbour, The new basin would he 1,000 feet by 1,000 feet, have a 80-foot depth, and be protected by a new 1,200 foot breakwater running north and. south, and with a 250-foot extension west of the existing breakwater, We believe that this expansion would:be. a splendid thing for business in Kincardine, and for, all nearby towns and villages having good roadand rail connections with that lake port. We admire their enterprise and we wish them every success ,in this big under- . taking. We will be watching devel- opments there with the keenest inter- - est. * * TEAMWORK CONTINUES Canada, Britain and the United Stat- es have carried their military team- work into Peace.

As a first-aid to tired feet, -a foot- bath should be a must in before-bed routines, Warm water, plenty of soap lather worked up with a hand brush, followed by a cold plunge or spray will remove the day's accumu- lation of dirt, prespiration and dead skin that forms on the feet, Toenails should be brushed briskly and an orangewood stick should be used on them. A wet pumice stone rubbed over the softened corns and callouses will insure comfort. A piece of moleskin or a felt ring properly plated retards the regrowth of these annoying excrescences. Use of razor blades on the feet is always dangerous. The following .exercises, if perform- ea exactly as outlined can be of great benefit in strengthening wakened muscles and in rejuvenating feet stif ferink from fatigue. Choose one or two which you can do comfortably and do them every morning first thing out of bed. Three minutes at most is all the time you need, At the start do each exercise five times, As your feet become more proficient increase the number of movements until you can comfortably do each exercise twenty- five times. To Strengthen Foot and Leg Muscles Place ttvo chairs close together. Sit on one with your legs extended over the other so that the heels are free and the feet arc about twelve inches apart. The following motions are performed with the feet only, the legs being held perfectly still: 1.--Bring the feet up; 2.---Curl the toes down; 3..--4Push the feet down; 4. --Turn feet inward attempting to touch soles together; ‘5.--,Pu11 feet well back holding for a few seconds, and then start all over again with No. 1. To Strengthen the muscles Supporting The Arch Take the same position as in the previous exercise. Turd feet inward, making the soles touch., Hold for a count of five, then relax. To Benefit the Metatarsal Arch— Stand on a large book with toes ex» tended over the edge. Pull the toes down, attempting to touch the side of the book with the underside of the toes. Hold for a count of three, Re* lax, The picking up of small objects with the toe is another useful exercise, For Fatigue and Fain in calf and knee due to Muscular Tension— Stand shoeless with foot parallel and body erect, facing awall, Plane hands on wall at shoulder . height and allow the erect 'body to approach the wall slowly, making certain the heels re.. main on the gronnd. Hold fora count of five. if properly done, tension will be felt at, the calves, Increasing the distance between yourself and the wall increases the severity of this exerdsc.
