Money to Loan Office — Meyer Block, Wingham Q. 0 O "WEDNESDAY, JANUARY. 9th, 1952 THE WINGHAM ADVANCE-TIMES MADE SEvl I s Some Ottawa citizens are adding a queer item to their diet. Storemen in the Capital city report a big increase in the sale of dog food, and it seems onthere aren't always barkoid pup- pies on the receiving end. The store- men think quite a bit of the canned dog food is going into the tummies of Ottawa citizens, They back" up their claim with this and other evidence. An eleven-year- old called at one store and told her grocer she'd decided to change her brand of dog meat. The other child- ren she said, were getting tired of the brand she was buying. Storemen Ithink the dog meat is being used in stews, meat pies and hamburgers. 'But their -discovery doesn't surprise Ottawa meat officials. They say dog meat has been a probable item in the diet of some Americans for years. 0 - 0 - 0 The four thugs who held up gar- age owner Paul Desland of St. Hus- tache, Qupebec ,recently, got more than they bargained for. All went smoothly until the hold- up boys were climbing into their auto to make their getaway. Then victim Desland came on the scene I again behind the business end of a wicked-looking gun. He winged one man in the leg, and put another but- let through their car tire/The thieves began to feel really amateurish when it transpired that their weapon was only the toy kind. Desland took back his property, helped himself to the topcoats, sweaters and hats of his attackers, then skipped off to get the police while they hopped up and down try- ing to keep warm. 0 - 0 - 0 When R. J. Moulton of Perth, Ont., goes deer hunting, it seems to be a. case of double or nothing. Last year, Moulton couldn't even sight a deer all season long, no ;at- ter how many miles he tramped through the woods. This, season on his first hunt, he brought down a fine buck, As he was going to pick up the animal he heard a commotion only a few yards away and dodged as another buck sprang at him, The second blck had been wound- ed by the same bullet that killed the first one. 0 - 0 - 0 It's common knowledge that not everyone celebrates Yuletide on December 25th. The Dutch, for in- stance, keep . December 6th, and a party of Indians and Eskimos will celebrate Christmas 1951, sometime this month. But in their case, the reason is a little different. The Indians and Eskimos are pat- ients at Quebec's Savard Park Im- migration Hospital, A measles epi- demic spoiled their December 25th celebration ,so the superintendent re- ports they will have it just when- ever they're well again. There's an eighty-year-old man at St .John who wasn't impressed when all the papers went to town about a man who could crochet. The St, John reaident, James Ern- mitt Tobin, is a highly skilled- needle- man too, only he uses knitting need- les. Tobin says he's been turning out socks, gloves and mittens for almost forty years now. In fact ever since his wife died and left him with seven children to look after, And he's pretty slick, he can get -a large pair of men's work mittens knitted in one day. 0 - 0 - 0 Good advice doesn't always get taken, especially when it's offered at an awkward moment. There's a family living in Amherst, Nova Scotia, who've been troubled with rats, Recently, father laid for the vermin with a line-up of traps, he finished off quite a number, but some of them still had a few kicks in them the next morning. Not wanting to enter into personal combat, the man of the house went for his gun, but he wasn't very happy about the shooting business. His blood pressure rose steadily as he tried to line up his sights on the threshing animals .After about the sixth attempt to get the gun pointing in just the right direction, he was plenty mad. More at himself than the rats, and it only took an offer of advice from a bystander to touch off an explosion. "Mind that mirror," called the man in question. "It' right in. your ,sights." "I can't help it if the rats get glass in their eyes, "shouted the furious gunman and he pulled the trigger. Rats, mirror and part of the wall went west together! FORDWICH PIM Years Married Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Boehler, well- known residents of Howick Township, celebrated them 50th wending anni- versary last week with a family din- ner, when guests were present from Listowel, Kurtzville, Molesworth and Wroxeter. Mrs. Boehler was formerly Mary Ann Gedcke and was born in How- ick township. They have lived for 43 years on the farm where they now reside. They have two daughters, Mrs. Robt. Hibberd (Ada); and Mrs. Warren Zurbrigg (Hilda) both of Howick. The Community Hall Board spon- sored a dance in the hall last Friday evening. A number of young people in the district attended the short course at the 0.A,C., Guelph, last week. Mrs. Robert Montgomery died in Chatham General Hospital on Mon- day, December 31st. She was the wife of Robert Montgomery, formerly of Fordwich. She leaves to mourn their loss, her husband, a son, Quentin, and a daughter, Mrs. L. M. Irving, all of Chatham. Prayer service will be held in, the United Church on Friday evening. Rev. G. D. Vogan will be the speaker. Personals Mr. Earl Baker has returned from Westminster Hospital, London, Mr, and Mrs. Garnet King have moved to Harriston for the winter months. Mrs. Alvaretta Wallace has leased their home for a short time, Mrs. Nellie Gamble visited for a Week at the hoine of her daughter, Mrs. Ted Harris, Brownsville. Miss Lenore Beswitherick visited her aunt, Mrs. Vina Gordon, in Tor- onto during the holidays, Miss Maude Harding, Toronto, was at her home for the holidays. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bricker and children, Kitchener, visited with Mrs. Mary Denny over the New Year holi- day. Miss Maxine Stinson was home for the New Year holiday and week-end from London, where she is in train- ing at Victoria Hospital. Right here within walking distance of Wingham is to be found a large variety of tree and plant life, If you care to take a quiet drive around day break or in the evening along the sideroads of any Crown Game Re- serve you are liable to see more deer than most hunters see in the course of their annual two weeks' hunting trip to the Nbrh. If you don't slow up at the "Deer Crossing" sign you may come in very violent contact With them indeed. Few of us realize just how easily accessible are the woods and wildlife of our province,, If you care to take a comparatively short motor trip to some of our Pro- vincial Parks, you will find that many of the best beaches and camp sites have been reserved for the use of the public and in all of them is free camp- ing accommodation, whilst most have all facilities and fireplaces. All you have to do is drive in with your camp- ing equipment and mother nature and the Department of Lands and Forests provide the rest. A cottage site can be purchased in these parks from the Government for as little as $30,00 plus the cost, of sur- veying and if you are very ambitious, you can buy a whole island for the price of a city lot. So let us, all re- solve that this year we will see all we can of the outdoors and, that we will conserve and not destroy- its; beauties and its riches. • PURDONS BAKERY a U 'PHONE 145 WINGHAM O The Home of U — QUALITY BREAD, • CAKES, PASTRY = • We take orders Daily • • ii (Saturday to 12 noon) II = .31111111111111111111111111111111•11111111111111111•11•71 They Tell Me It's True -- By BOB CLARK — most IMPORTANT MAN e;6Zie CANADIAN ARMY There have been many startling developments in modern weapons ---,-even talk of push-button warfare — but despite all of this — the INFANTRYMAN continues to be the most important man in our defence forces.
