ORATORY Public speaking has been one of man's most important arts all down through the ages. The majority of really' great world figures have been men and women with the ability to away people by their oratory, The value of being able• to speak clearly, fluently and lucidly, when addresaing a small or large audience, is immeasur- able, From time immemorial, debating clubs and societies have been formed and carried on to help develop the art of public speaking among their mem- bers, Few people are natural born orat- ors. Nearly every boy, girl, man and' woman has to learn public speaking the hard way, before he or she can ever Wingham Advance-Times Published at YVINGHAM ONTARIO m...”•••^",", ilka)Scriptionate----,-,C)ne Year $2.00 Six Months $1.00 in advance To U, S.

LITTLE .TEESWATER L3 .GE TWO THE WINGHAN ADVANCE-TIMES Thursday, March 6th, 1941 In frontier districts of Canada the nearest hospital or doctor may be a hundred miles or snore away, Over twenty years ago the Red Cross began establishing outpost hospitals and nursing stations in these remote regions. Today a whole chain of Outpost Hospitals can be found in the frontier districts of the Dominion. They bring medical science within reach of these isolated communities. Hundreds of thousands of patients Campaign Headquarters—Campbell's Garage, 'Phone 184 have been treated in these tiny hospitals, including thousands of confinement cases. These hospitals also serve as health centres for their communities, carrying on medical inspection in the schools and organizing clinks for the children, Your help is needed to main- tain and expand this vital Work, Stand behind the Red Cross, and help bring medical aid to your fellow-Canadians pioneering On Canada's frontiers. Give NOW ... give generously. hope to. shine froth the public rostrum. That means ,endless practice in Speak- ing before gradually increasing audi- ences, during which time the Most siduous care must be taken to correct faults that are bound to appear from time to time, Not only is it necessary,. to have a perfect knowledge and use of the King's English, but .an easy, clear, concise, fluent, lucid delivery must be mastered. It is also vitally important to develop graceful posture and point- making gestnres to 'accentuate the hn- portance of the spoken word. While not every person aspires to be a public speaker, yet there are very few people who haven't, at one time or an- other, been embarrassed because of to talk reasonably well before an aud- ience. There are always a few gifted individuals only too willing to grab and hold the spotlight, and so debating clubs are very valuable because they give each member of the club an op,. portunity to take a turn as a public speaker. Undeniably, oratory is a ne-, glected art and, for that reason, debat- ing clubs and societies should be fost- ered in every community. Public and High Schools could very , profitably give more time to the art of debate and public speaking, and practi- cally every-adult -club or organization could include .debates as a part of many of their meetings, Then, as de- bating teams were developed by the different clubs, they could meet in public debates before the general pub- lie. Unlike most recreations, oratory requires no athletic prowses and it is of great benefit to- both old and young. For that reason, our Recreational Com- mittee might profitably consider foster- ing debating clubs. * * DO YOU KNOW DIRECTIONS? North and south arc limited diiee- tions, You can go north only as far as the North Pole. After that you would be going south. In • fact the only direction you can go from the North Pole is south. On the other hand, you can leave Wingham, going east, travel all around the earth, and come into Wingham front the west, still travelling east. In other words east and west are unlim- ited directions, The earth's roundness must be con- * * * KNOW WMGHAIV1 Water is a problem to many cities, towns, villages and countless farms, butlt is an unfailing asset in the town of Wingham. Wingham has an ample supply of good grade "A" water from its artesian wells, Good water is a prime, basic necessity for good health in a conmmaity, and Wingham has a good water supply, CONTRACT BRIDGE With 3 aces-5 Spades With 4 aces-5 no trump If either player bids 5 no trump, it demandi that partner show the kings in his hand, in the same manner; viz: • With no king-6 Clubs With 1 -king-6 Diamonds, etc. However, it is now general practice to use 4 'Clubs as the Blackwood ask- ing bid, instead of.4 no trump, and this is much more desirable, when- the bid- ding situation permits. The responses are,— With no ace--4 Diamonds With 1 ace-4 Hearts With 2 aces-4 Spades With' 3 aces-4 no trump With 4 aces-r-5 Clubs If either player bids 5 Clubs, part- ner must show kings, as follows: With no king-5 Diamonds With 1 king-5 Hearts, etc. These latter bids hold the bidding to a lower level, and are generally. used unless the bidding has already passed the 4 Club level, or -unless a suit bid has already, been made in clubs. In either of these circumstances, the 4-5 no trump bids and responses can be employed. Tliis hand, which appeared at Bridge Club last week, suggested the above remarks: • S-A Q 6 H-AQ108 D-J 9 8 -, C-A K 6 S-K 7 3 2 N • S-J 10 8 5 4 H-K 9 7 3 , H-65 D-6 W E D-10 4 3 ' C-7 4 2 2 S.

Sofith's, response at the level of two' diamonds' shows a minimum of two honor tricks and a five card biddable diamond suit, or equivalent strength, and this' response is quite, sufficient to suggest slam to North. He sees that the final contract will be in no trump, which must be playediby him, in order to control the opening lead. If North has confidence in his part- ner, he should sign off at five no trump, which South can pass if his or- iginal two diamond bid was Made on minimum strength. In this case, his six diamond bid is automatic, and it enables North•to bid-six no trump with perfect assurance. Due to the' favorable position of the two missing kings, thirteen tricks are on, but there is such abundant stren- gth in the North and South hand§ that, even if both kings were held by East, the small slam still could lie made against arty defense. CHITTER,CHATTER FARM FORUM • The Chitter-Chatter Farm Fdrtim of the first line of Morris, met on Mon- day evening at the home of Mr, Camp- bell ,Robertson with 35 in attendance, After listening to the Radio broad- cast -on a Review of the past series; 1st, What Makes Prices? 2.

Lunch was served by Mrs, Harvey Robertson, Mrs. Fleming Johnston and Mrs. Wal- ter Smillie, after which all departed for home in three • sleighloads with Spar- ling Johnston, Arthur Ruttan and Charles Johnston as teamsters, WESTFIELD (Intended for last week) The Y.P. met on Thursday evening, with Eileen Taylor in charge, and Phyllis Cook at the piano. Mildred Carter led in prayer, Scripture was read by .Eddie Taylor.' The topic was given by Eileen Taylor, The meeting closed with benediction. Social activ- ities were enjoyed. Mr, LeOharil Cook was a London 'visitor on Thursday. Mr. Warren Bamford of Preston, sidered in every application of geo- grapy to our lives. On a round earth you cannot draw a straight line. All lines joining places on the 'eat; are curved lines. Lines going northeast, southeast, northwest and southwest, are spirals. If you were. to travel northeast you would go around and around the earth, coming back again and again to the same meridan, always , higher, always nearer the North Pole. Actually most of our travel is per-- formed on just such a spiral course. When you travel in any direction ex- .

The rhumb line has the following characteristic, it cuts every meridian of longitude as the same ang- le. Charting the course of a ship tor of an aeroplane is much more cornplicat, ed. than, it appears on a flat map, On account of the curvature of the earth it is. necessary to make frequent com- pensating adjustments. A navigator must really know all about directions. *•* • BRITON'S pgAcg INCREASE So far peace has Meant nothing bit continued trouble tor the British peo pie. At hofne, politically, it has meant radical unprecedented changes in the- introduction pf State Control for min- es and some other National industries and utilities, and -economically, it has meant continued shortages and even more stringent austerity. In the Etn- pire, politically, it has meant further liquidation in the near future, by de- cisions to give India and Burma their independence soon and to turn the pl-estinc Mandate over to the United Nations. It has meant another "Blood, sweat and tears", Work or starve, live or die programme to survive as a Great Power Nation. In the United 'kingdom and in the Empire, postwar 'troubles and difficul- ties are., appearing faster than solutions can be found and applied. The coal and weather crisialias hit Britain with such force, it now 'becomes unlikely that the nation' Will.be able to meet the industrial, political" and military com- mitments it ha.d accepted. The long-term results of the coal crisis may be griniMer than most Brit- on's had believed possible. It may mean that the life-and-death exPort drive will fail to achieve its goals. In any Case,, Britain faces a cut in im- ports;probable'abandonment of the 40- hour week, and a continuation of rat- ioning. She may' also have to intro- duce stringent rationing of coal, and the hiring of 100,009 foreign miners, probably displaced Poles. * THE GREAT SWITCHOFF The lights went off in Britain on February 10th. In restaurants and of- fices Briton's ate and worked by smok- ing hurricane lamps and sputtering candles. ,The 'little electric fireplaces that heat many a British home stood cold and black. The "Great Switch- off" of power, as the newspapers called it, was extended to all England, Scot- land and Wales, Wartime defense re- gulations -were invoked to threaten vio- lators, with heayy penalties, up 'to $2,000 in fines and two years' impris- onment. The continued shortage of coal and record-breaking winter wea- ther are adversely affecting the light and power situation. * WEEKLY THOUGHT It's, great to be 'a*Canadian I Canada is the most fayored country in the world, This temperate climate is the healthiest on. earth and gives us the most pleasant living conditions, Hot country diseases like malaria and lep- rosy are practically unknown here, We escape most of the hurricanes, torna- does, earthquakes and floods that are the bane of many lands; and famine and pestilences pass us by too. Can- ada has a democratic form ,of govern- ment; freedom of the press, speech (except over the radio), and religion, private, enterpirse, stable laws, caphble policing, good public schools, colleges and universities; inillidn$ of acres of arable land, great timber, and almost untouched mineral resources; tremen- dous water'poWer resources, much of it still not utilized; large fishing possibil- ities; , good fruit districts; splendid roads and railway systems; diversified topographical features to, suit all tastes from -the mighty Rocky Mountains to the majestic sweep of the Western Plains, with two coastal districts, sev- eral fruit growing areas, and the'gen- tly rolling, park-like farming lands of the elstern and centr.:1 provinces; many fine lakes and rivers, and the fin- est inland water system in the world; -almost ideal towns and cities; good homes, and the finest people in the world, who are descendants of the best, races of people in the World. Jack is as good as his master, and equal op- porttmities are open to all. Truly, it's great to be a Canadian, and to be look- ing forward to another spring. t.
