THE STERLING SNOW PLOW
and ANGLE DOZER
You get year-round use
from a Sterling because
the Sterling is mounted
on a new type universal
frame. By simply un-
hitching the snow plow
and attaching an angle-
dozer mouldboard, you
have a complete, heavy
duty, fast operating
angledozer for spring
and summer work.
Snow rolls off the specially grooved, deep radius blade, Two
heavy duty load springs operate an automatic trip to prevent
damage. Adjustable swivel shoes track properly. The bit is
adjustable when worn. The sturdy construction of the
reinforced tubular steel driving frame insures lasting service
under rugged conditions.
Models are now available for Ferguson and Ford Tractors and
for Jeeps. See us today for complete information.

ACCIDENTS TAKE
TERRIBLE TOLL
Mr. R. A. Stapells, president of the
Ontario Safety League, told the annual
meeting recently that accidents wiped
Out 2,000 lives, injured 210,000 and
destroyed property valued at nearly
1127,000,000 during 1948. He said, "add
to this the 200-odd drownings. as well
as those that are not recorded, and
the conclusion is so horrible that those
of us concerned with safety must
somehow find ways and means to
redouble our efforts."
The president warned that all fac-
tors point to even larger tolls of death
and injury in the years ahead; and he
described the outlook as "so stagger-
Mg as to cry out for aggressive and
Concerted actions on the part of every
individual." During 1947 Ontario
drivers suffered 10.9 accidents per 100
million miles and this rate was re

I Here in WhOram we are still dilly;
I dallying about removing the traffic
hazard of the curbs along our main
thoroughtare--surely an ounce ,4 pre-
vention will be better than a pound of
cure—unnecessarily jeopardizing the
limbs of pedestrians. Also we still have
the narrow roadways and far-too-nar.
row roadways and far-too-narrow
bridges in and close to the town.
During recent years there have
been many accidents on these narrow
approach roads and bridges, including
one fatality. How many more acci-
dents will be necessary to awaken the
public to this unnecessary traffic haz-
ard? It is the christian duty of each
voter, in fact of every citizen to urge
the men, who they elect to responsible
public office, to carry out the duties
such position entails; and that means
that local officials, who are responsible
for the condition of our roads and
bridges, should take the proper and
necessary action to correct any and all
traffic hazards.

ISRAEL ELECTS ITS
FIRST PRESIDENT
The election of Dr. Chaim Weiz-
mann as Israel's President by the
newly elected Constituent Assembly
recently, put the official stamp on
what was already an accepted political
fact. This veteran compaigner for
Zionism has been the presiding genius
of the new State of Israel since its
birth last year and his formal assump-
tion of office is the crowning inci-
dent of a long and arduous lifetime de-
voted to the one great cause.
The first President of Israel'is cer-
tain of lasting fame and Dr. Weiz-
mann is certainly worthy of that hon-
or, He was born in Russia, but went
to England in 1904 and has been, for
the greater part of his adult life, a
British subject. His services to Bri-
tain as a scientist during the war of
1914-18 were so 'Valuable that he won
the warmest sympathy for his Zionist
crusade, *
JEWISH-EGYPTIAN
ARMISTICE SIGNED
Unexpected success has downed
the armistice negotiations ontqhe Is-
land of Rhodes being conducted under
the guidance of the UN Mediator,
Ralph 5. Bunche. Both the Israeli and
Egyptian armies are to be withdrawn
from the small disputed piece of terri-
tory near the Egyptian frontier, the
Jews retain practically all the Negeb
Desert" area.
This willingness of the Egyptian
Government to back down on most of
its demands, has already had a Ake
effect on the other warring Arab Stat-
es. A Trans-Jordan delegation is eith-
er already at Rhodes or on the way
there for peace talks and other
Arab States 'are said to be ready to
send delegations too. So, at long last.
it seems certain that peace will- soon
reign supreme once more in the Holy
Land; and the State of Israel will be
able to turn its efforts to the building
up of the Jewish State. Most of the
Holy Land is once more the Jewish
homeland in fact as predicted in the
Holy Bible.

GOVERNMENT , HELPS BUILD
RECREATIONAL FACILITIES
Now that the Provincial Govern.-
ment has passed an Act to help muni-
cipalities to build recreational facili-
ties, many centres will doubtless take
advantage of this grand opportunity.
There_ seems no logical reason why
the boys and girls, and older people
too, of Wingham shouldn't benefit
along with other places.

The folks on the Rth con, of E. Wa-
wanosh held their weekly euchre at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Vin-
cent, on Friday evening with Mrs.
Gordon Naylor and Mr. John Mc-
Burney holding high points and Mrs.
John Mcl3urney and Richard Chamney
holding low points. The winners for
the month were, Mrs. Albert Bieman
and Mr. Lewis Stonehouse. The next
meeting will be at the home of Mr. and.
Mrs, Harry Cook.
Those who attended the pictures
presented by the National Film Board
in the Memorial Hall last Thursday
evening, had a real treat, as the pic-
tures were exceptional. Rocky Moun-
tain Trout Fishing, and Whale Fish-
ing, and the one on Canadian Indus-
tries, were especially interesting.
Mr. Russell Purdon and Mr. Ken-
neth Purdon were in Toronto on a
business trip on Thursday last.
Miss Isabel Elliott and Mr, Cecil
Falconer held high pbints at the Crok-
inole social held last Tuesday evening
in the Memorial Hall by the Presby-
terian Young folks and Mrs. Andrew
Gaunt and Mr. Cairnie Aitchison held
low points. Red. W. S. Sutherland led
in the sing-song, with Mrs, Swanson
at the piano. Lunch was served and
the social time enjoyed by all.
The Young Adult Group of the Un-
ited Church met last Tuesday evening,
with Mrs. Victor Emerson, convener
off the Missionary Dept., in charge
of the meeting. The scripture readings
were taken by Mrs. Ernest Casemore
Shirley and Beverley, and Mrs. Clar-
ence McClenaghan spoke' briefly on
the lesson. Myrna Stockill and Mar-
jorie Coultes gave readings, and Paul
Groskorth a piano solo, Mrs. J. G. Gil-
lespie led in prayer. Rev. G. M. New-
ton showed moving pictures on the
Missionary work among the Indians
of Bella Coola, B.C. and the Eskimos,
and their work and home life. The one
on winter sports in Quebec, skiing, ski-
joring and tobogganing was very in-
teresting as was the one on the work
of the Summer School at Goderich.
Jack Coultes took up the offering and
Mrs. Emers'on" closed the meeting with
better athletic park, apd also .a swim-
ming pool, Both these projects are
eligible for government assistance and
that should be an incentive to speed
up their construction. A community
hull or recreational centre is also bad-
ly needed here and it too would IV^
k:eive a government grant to help
defray its cost.
Premier Kennedy said there will be
no red tape in administering this Act
so that should mean that whether the
t.:onummity Centre was built as a sep-
arate building Or constructed as an
addition to the presenearena, it would
be eligible for the grant. Wingham is
showing growing pains in a revival of
building activity and actual or talked-
of business expansion, and the time is
ripe for progress in the construction
of new recreational facilities. Wingham
should lead the way, not follow other
towns.

WHAT IS T. D. N.? Well, as every stock-
man knows, the feed that goes into animal or bird
is not 100 per cent. returned in meat, eggs or milk.
The important thing is that the only part of the
feed that makes a profit for the farkner is the feed
that is digested by the animal. In other words,
