Last year's earnings front this event were over $800, Which was a very fine effort. However, even more is needed this year and everyone in Wingham should give support to this very worthwhile cause. The money raised in this way goes to supply necessary items for the hospital which otherwise wouldn't be avail- able; such as bedding,'&6ekery,nursery supplies, curtains In fact the load being borne by the La les' Auxiliary is becoming larger year by year. • • Since our hospital serves such a large surrounding area, it is up to everyone in that area, who night some day need the hospital, to support not only the rummage sale but everything allse the ladies attempt. Another large and wearisome chore assumed by the auxiliary is the sewing and mending- required on hospital bedding, gowns, etc., which is increasing in volume all the time. One way we can aid in this work is to donate anything• that would be saleable in their October 20th sale in the armouries. Also we can spread the word around to be there on that Saturday. Let's be there with our friends and neighbours, and spend freely to assist the •Wingham Hospital and its willing helpers. As our hospital grows larger and increases its staff, we will have an even greater need for these fine ladies and their tireless work, so let's get out and support their endeavours with all our energies. In that way we will be Ielping the community and ourselves. Hats off to the Wing-ham General Hospital Auxiliary ! * * OUR WEEKLY PRESS (Sudbury Daily Star) Weekly newspaperS in Canada have just completed their annual convention at which awards were made in the Canadian \Veekly Newspapers' Association better news- papers competition, and The Sudbury Daily Star joins in the congrattdaltory messages to the Barrie Examiner, winner of the W. E, Mason Trophy for the best all-round weekly with a circulation of 3,000 or more. The part the weekly newspapers play in the life of Canadian communities is too seldom given proper recog- nition, and yet the publishers of this important section of the Canadian press are closer to the pulse Of the people than their larger metropolitan cousins. Newspaper publication can be compared with the various levels of government. The township council is in close touch with the people it serves whereas the federal government is far, far removed from the personal problems of individuals. News of the activities of community groups in the small urban an d. rural. communities are not the impersonal reports of the big dailies, It is a matter of interest to the community when Citizen Jones dents the fender on his car, whereas the big metropolitan newspapers are interested only III the. number of injured or killed.. W pay our tribute to all weekly newspapers in Canada in the knowledge that they are sincere guardians of the Canadian way of life,„ and their'contribution is not lessened by being included among the non-winners of CWNA awards. about THE DANGER Of TOO MANY BATHS ..A,n article in one of our Canadian periodicals points out that in the winter time one bath a week is sufficient and certainly no more than two should be taken. Too many baths, it points out, are the cause of a good matt.y skin diseases. Now I'm sure that Junior will be glad to hear this little item of news In fact it shouldn't be too much for him to stretch the need for a bath to one a month and he'll probably claim that that will hurt his health too. Baths have always been the bugbear of youth and now an adult is offering, on a platter, an easy way out, Times certainly are changing. When we were kids the Saturday night bath was fist a dunk that kept us from doing anything else on a per- iectly good night; to stay up late or gu to the movies or lead the comics or make candy or listen to the - or nut take a bath. It seems that after a youngster takes a bath the only logical place for hint is in bed, according to the adult way of thinking, The reasoning behind this is probably that if they let you stay up you'd probably need another bath in a very short time and besides it is nice to get the kids out of the adult hair and the best way is to send them to bed. Not that they always sleep when they get there mind you! (Sort of a dirty campaign don't you think). Come to think of it the plumbers' union will be after us if we plug the bathtub (I. mean this idea) so let's forget it eh? ,sAtinrds 3,Liris.

This is the view of the 'Uni- versity of Western Ontario. Experi- ments have shown that mature people learn as readily as they did in their high school days. To facili- tate this Antinuing development the University, through its Extension Department, has established classes in a score of Ontario centres from Peterborough on the east to Sault Ste. Marie on the West and Timmins in the north. Here Psychology, Econ- omics, Geography, Englsh, History, and many more subjects that do not require laboratories, are taught. These classes are used widely by tea- chers who are seeking degrees or permanent first class certificates. In addition, many persons with an inter- est in a subject avail themselves of the classes., The policy of the Canadian Univer- sities in going to the public is rela- tively new, it having developed large- ly since World War One, but in the last century Oxford and Cambridge Universities in England moved in ,1; -that direction hen they combined with the worke a in tutoral classes in many cultural ,irkubjects. Canadian Universities are following a well established tradition. Western how- ever is giving a new emphasis in its stress on credit work which assures the fundamentally sound nature of the courses and also helps the people toward those degrees that are so essential in our modern and more ex- acting organization. Most classes are held on Saturday making it possible for students from considerable dis- tances to attend. Each class meets for a double session every second week so alternate week-ends are free. This season the University of Wes- tern Ontario is offering two exten- sion classes in English in the Public School. On Saturday, September 22., at 11 a.m., Mr, Ross Woodman of the English Department will offer Eng- lish 20, the first course in English Literature and Composition. This is a survey of English Literature from early to modern times and forms an excellent background for further study.
