The Wingham Advance-Times, 1951-05-30, Page 3CIVIL DEFENCE ON COUNTY BASIS Rxpansioa of -Ontario's civil .4e,' Prise organization has .been announ- ced by Hon, Arthur Welsh, Provincial Civil Defense Co-ordinator, A letter has been sent to all may- ors, reeves and county wardens SW, ing that civil defense planning has progressed to the point where organi- .!zation on a county heale is now advis- able. Col Welsh said, "This type of organization would assure that !mini- eipalities within the county can pl4n for civil defense on a mutual aid basis," Col, Welsh said no rnuicipalities could be expected to provide the necessary civil defense services re- quired for adequate protection against fire, etc., in the event of an enemy air attack, without assistance from stir- rounding municipalities. "Since municipalities may urgently require help from surrounding coin- inanities, it is now felt advisable that a Mutual aid plan be worked out on a county basis," he said. We are recommending that the largest urban centre within the county accept the leadership in county plan- ning, and that a meeting be called of representatives from all communities, and a county Civil Defense committee be formed to co-ordinate the Civil Defense committees already existing within the county, and to encourage the formation of committees where these do not exist. "It is suggested that rural commun- ities, which have not already formed Civil Defense committees co-operate with their county council and com- plete plans for a co-ordinated effort, so if called upon to receive evacuees from target areas, the necessary plans will be in existence." "When arrangements have been completed for a county meeting, per- sonnel from the Civil Defense Branch of the Provincial Secretary's Depart- ment will be available to attend and render assistance in overall planning if required."

Suppose we compare a large mach- ine to a school and the parts to the students, If the school is to run 13MoothlY, each and every student must take .his or her part willingly when asked. Many students will ask. "What good will I get out of it? I'm busy with the, .homework I have." On the contrary you will receive a great deal from it. In every occupation in life the Barrie co-ordination is needed, '1 his habit of co-operation is begun and is trained in school. School spirit is the main factor that makes a school "tick" from the stud- ent's view. Such a spirit cannot be taught in the classroom; it must come from the heart of every student, We must be proud of our school and in return we must make ourselves wor- thy of it. In later years if we are asked where we received our high school education, we shall be able to raise our chin and say in a clear voice "From Wingham High School." Have you heard the story about the donkey, who, when he is kicking can't pull and when he is pulling can't kick. We want you all to be like the latter donkey. So, let us all participate in all the activities surounding us, and not leave them to a few, because it is this co- operation that brings about the most important element in a school "Esprit de corps."

Every year about this time we be- gin to realize that whether we like it or not exams are very real. I think the June exams are the hardest to write, Not only have we the whole year's work to review hut in the June' weather it is so warm and inviting that it is hard td keep one's mind on books, This year Grades IX, X and XIII start to write their exams June 11, and Grade XI and XII start June 18.

Highlights from the High School OPEN HOUSE AT W.D.H.S. By Shirley Moffat A crowd of over 40 interested eiti- , Lena visited and toured our school last Friday evening, May 18. "Open Night" is held annually at the Wing- ! ham District High School, giving those . interested the opportunity to view a good deal of the work of the students. Every one was able to find some- thing of interest in each of the fifteen rooms of the high school. A chief note , of interest often seems to be found in the Home Economics room, par- ticularly for the ladies, although many men seem rather enthusiastic too. Among the exhibits there were dress- ses, blouses and sitirts, other handi- crafts and halting, all made by the girls under the supervision of Miss Laura Behrns. The men who make woodworkingthobby enjoyed seeing through the shop. They have very modern equipment and the boys have used it to good advantage and have made hostess chairs, lamps and little tables besides numerous other smaller things, Mr.' Ross Vogan is the teacher in this department. Many of the people saw either a film of our Cadet Inspection which was photographed and shown by Mr. F. E, Madill or a Scare Crow Dance which was put on by six girls of Miss Rafuse's Phys. Ed. class. Girls taking part were Jacqueline Currie, Sally Lou MacWilliam, Eleanor Wightman, Jean Hobclen, Patsy Brophy and De- lores Hamilton and indeed they prov- ed to be quite good scarecrows. By the way maybe you could hire one of them if the crows- begin to molest your corn. A unique attraction was to be found in the agriculture room where, under the guidance of Mr. John Jackson, the boys have raised little chickens this spring. Many found much of in- terest in the science lab. where Principal W. S. Hall teaches Bot- any, Zoology, Chemistry and Physics. Another room for those who liked to look back to their high school days was with Miss McGregor. Here people could hear French records and struggle to recall that language which they had almost completely forgotten. Miss Heard, besides having a good showing of history work, had a beautiful display of leather craft Telephone 139 Mr. R. J.
