Every large city and town to-day is confronted with this same problem, and many of them have found it necessary to remedy the situation at great expense. We here in Wingham are at the stage where a solution may be found at a smaller expense and less trouble. There is a question which many merchants ask during these periods of snow removal, "just what are they sup- posed to do with their cars when parking is prohibited" The back alleys are never plowed out so that cars can be taken off the main street. Not only should rear alleys be plowed but more off-the-street parking facilities should be provided in a central location for both winter and sum- mer use. There is hardly any day of the week when a parking spot can be found on Josephine St., except Sunday. Many of our merchants find it necessary to leave their autos in front of their premises. Whether this is good or bad is an- other question. There is however, a particular problem around h ost office, the town hall and the bus terminal, I ternatives to offer? Bluevale L.O.L. had arranged for a grand Oyster Supper to be held on January 12. Let's discount all these old wives' tales about intelli- gent men going bald and baldness being hereditary. It's worry that does it ! Stop worrying and your hairline will quit receding. Of course that will probably mean that you will -have to quit working and starve to death but isn't. it worth it to be able to wow the ladies with a full head of hair? Until this new wonderful hair restorer is discovered, our advice to all baldies is to keep the dome covered up from the cold winter winds and the hot summer sun. In the spring and fall it is quite permissible to shine up and expose it to the elements. * * * THE BEDTIME SNACK This is in many ways the outstanding meal of the day or night. There is no compulsion, nobody says you must come right now to the table and eat. You don't have to sit up straight. In fact you don't have to sit at all, but may wander around, as free and easy as at a stand-up tea, but with advantage of not needing that engaging smile on your face and brilliant conversation on your lips. Your entire mouth may devote itself to eating, with no space cautiously reserved -for chatting. Even if some other mem- ber of the household is foraging at the same time, she will likely to be eating something different, having a separate little repast of her own, like an orange she found, and that you missed; and the tendency is for her to carry out her project by herself with little reference to you. At any rate, talk is no more compulsory than is the meal. The meal may even be pleasantly against the rules and you. may be planning definitely to break yourself of the habit, starting right after this one last time, The thing is bad for you, overeating and staying up so late! And you may be taking food from others in this preview to tomorrow's meals. Or, if you happen to be one to whom economy appeals more than sin, you can feel virtuous in disposing of left-over scraps. Looked at in this way it is not really a meal that you are eating. Certainly the Do- minion Bureau would have a hard time classifying your odd assortment of Dagwood stuff.

THE WINGHAIV1 ADVANCE-TIMES WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9th, 1952 sible for two streams of traffic to pass abreast throng this bottleneck and many jams do occur. What would hap- pen if a large fire broke out ,at this particular time either in or out of town? It would be impossible for the fire engine to get through and valuable time would be lost. We feel strongly that off-the-street parking facilities are the only answer. Let's take a look around at the avail- able space .and decide what we are going to do. Even if it is necessary to purchase some central property and level some buildings it will be well worth while. The cost today will not be anywhere near the cost in several years' time when we can expect more autos and a larger population. Even towns such ac T istowel and Orangeville with their wide main street; often congested beyond their facilities. What can Wingham expect then with such a narrow main street. Let's take a long-range view of this problem and plan for the future as well as solving to- day's parking problem. It will be well worth the expense in convenience and easier snow removal. * * * BALD HEADED ROW What does the average man worry about most during his short life-time—money, women, success? Nope, none of these. His greatest single worry is the fear of losing his hair or how t'o conceal his naked scalp after he has lost the foliage. The extreme optimists even worry about how to get it hack. We would venture the opinion that since worry causes • a great deal of our illness to-day, more men die because of • baldness than from any other single cause. Find a sure way to grow hair on a naked cranium and your fortune is made.. You will be the Henry Ford of the hair industry. Perhaps the barbers should get to work on this problem for they have more time to think and talk than anyone else. Imagine the increased business for barbers if all bald men could grow a thatch of wool on top. which are all grouped together.

Irwin was almost instantly killed when he fell a distance ,of thirty ft, from a scaffold on which he was working on Wednesday after- noon, January 12th,, in‘ Toronto. The late Mr. Irwin spent many years in Howick Township on a farm on Con. 10. Gorrie people were proud of the town's new rink, the official opening was a big event. Hockey games were played. Fordsvich boys defeated Gorrie boys 6-0. Wingham curlers competed with Bel- more on a Thursday afternoon and won out by a small margin. TREY ADVERTISE A hen is not supposed to have much common sense or tact, Yet every time she lays an egg she cackles forth the fact. A rooster hasn't got a lot of intellect, to show, But none the less most roosters have enough good sense to crow, The peacock spreads his tail and squawks; pigs squeal and robins sing; And even serpents know enough to hiss before they sting. But MAN—the greatest masterpiece that nature could devise, Will often STOP AND HESITATE— before he'll advertise.

FORTY TEARS AGO The Town Council for 1912 met as per statute at 11 aan, on a Monday. Each having subscribed to the declar- ation of qualification and office, took his seat at the Council table. The Mayor and Reeve looked pleased to think that no person had dared to `knock the chip off their shoulders," and the other members of the honor- able body were equally proud of the fact of their popularity, as indicated by the vote of the electors. The fol- lowing were the appointees to muni- cipal offices for 1912: Night watch- man, Edwin Lewis; Bell-ringer, R. Rankin; Member Library Board, D. Holmes; Auditors, J. Ritchie, A. H. Musgrove; Assessor and Collector, C. N. Griffin; Board of Health, Wm. Fes- sant; Medical ,Health Officer, Dr. R. Redmond; Fenceviewers, T, Deans, W. Moore, W. P, Grierson; Poundbeeper, John Armour; Plumbing Inspector, Chief Allen. The Mayor then blandly invited all present to enjoy the oysters at Johnston's parlours, at his expense. The High School reported an at- tendance of 164 students. The following was the form of bal- lot submitted to the Presbyterian con- gregations on the subject of Church union: (1) Are you in favour of organic un- ion with the Methodist and Congrega- tional churches? (2) Do you approve of the proposed basis of union?

FIFTEEN YEARS AGO In the first election that the Town- ship of Morris has had since 1932, Reeve Cardiff, who since that time had been elected by acclamation, defeated Councillor Finlay McCallum by 599 to 239, Principal W, Stanley Hall attended the annual meeting of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers 'Federation as uelegate from the Harriston dis- trict, The House of Commons at Ottawa, announced that it would assemble on Thursday, January 14th. ,and will at- tempt to complete its business so that members could attend the Coronation of King George VI in May. The 15th annual meeting of the Wingham Horticultural Society was held in the Council Chambers on Fri- day evening for the purpose of electing officers, .

First casualty of the New Year was The largest item in general ex- penses will likely be the minister's salary and mixed will be the feel- ings in the minds of those who con- sider it. Many will regard it as a generous payment merely because it takes such a large part of the chur- ch's total income. To the more thoughtful, however, must come the questken "Do we pay our minister enough?" Upon what standard can we base a judgment in this. matter? First of all, we are likely to make comparisons with other churches. If we are paying as much as the average church of our size we are satisfied that our duty has been dis charged in this connection and are content to commence another year on the same salary scale. But what if the average salary paid, by other churches is too 'low? Or again, we may make comparisons with former years and here we are likely to note a. substantial increase wMt may serve to still our consciences.. But what of the purchasing power of the increased number of dollars; the minister now receives each month. If, in 1939;, he received $1400.1 per annum- be would now require $3;000. to place him in the same; position economically. Such is the penalty of inflation Is the minister;, yours and' mine;, as well off as he; was before the. war, a period we look back on as a business depression 11 when the; average income was. nor- mally. low?: The- minister 'belongs to a• nnitte class, of public. servant. He has no, union to speak far him and claim Church officials everywhere are winding up accounts for 1951 and will soon be preparing financial statements of their churches to pre- pent to congregations at annual meetings. Every active churchman is -interestsd in the annual financial re- port which is widely accepted; as the barometer of individual church pro- gress. BOX 473 MINISTERS' SALARIES consideration the ."' i high educational standard required As we consider our church bud= gets for 1952 let us not overlook our ministers and their financial needs. The labourer is worthy of his hire, a reasonable standard of living for himself and his family. It is our re- sponsibility as laymen to see that the one who ministers to us in spiritual things is adequately provided for. "Man of Howick" I of our ministers and what salaries such qualifications could command in business, in industry or in some other profession, we May have better idea as to what salaries we should be paying. However, the great majority of ministers are willing to accept much less for their seritices than they could get in other oacupations. It is fortunate for us that it is so but we should be most careful- not to take advantage of the situation,- They should be able to enjoy a standard of living approaching a par with, say, the teaching profession which Also draws its renumeration from public funds. Before we throw up our hands and proclaim that we cannot pay our minister more, let us examine our own scale of contributions to the sup- port of the church. How much do we really give when compared with other things in the family budget? Is it as much as we spend on tobacco which we seem able to afford, or al- coholic beverages which may well run to a higher figure, or amuse- ment in all its forms? Do we give to the church as freely as we spend our money on having a good time? Perhaps we 'aim at giving as much as some other member of the con- gregation or a minimum required' to maintain a certain degree of respect- ability. If our contributions have not been increased according to our in- comes and the cost of living it iSs time we 'made the necessary adjust- ment. G. Alan Williams Optometrist In former office of Dr,.
