The new program sounds emin- ently reaonable and without ques- tion it is the first major change in thinking on secondary education for many years. The program is design- ed to correct manifold weaknesses in the educational system of the pro- Vince. It is designed to provide a wider scope of teaching, tailored to the requirements of the student, rather than an attempt to tailor the student to the program. We agree in principle with the new plan. But it does pose a major problem locally, - The plan envisions three distinct branches: Arts and science, business and commerce, engineering, technol- ogy and trades. It is a good plan, but in the latter two categories it will re- quire accommodation and equipment not available at the local school. The problem is being met in other centres by the erection of what are known as composite schools. These will provide the type of facility need- ed, on,a co-operative basis for a num- ber of high school distriets. Such a school has been decided on at Clinton and the Wingham area was invited to join. However, local school and municipal authorities felt A PRAYER FOR PEACE (The excerpt below is taken from the litany especially prepared for the "Prayer for Peace" service by Rev. S. ' Ernest Lewis, James Street United Church, Exeter). We thy frail and sinful children bow before thee confessing our weakness and. failure and our need of a strength which we do not find in ourselves. In the time of our security we have been indifferent to the clang: ers and suffering of our brothers and sisters in the world who were not • cure and have suffered the loss of life and liberty and estate, Yet have mercy upon us in the time of our need and fear 0 God. We have sought our peace of mind unthinkingly in maxims of cun- - ning and greed, we have given our- selves too much to the godless pur- suit of pleasure and gain,- we have been ignorant of the danger signals - of our time when we could have kept ourselves informed. From these haunting accu- sations of conscience deliver us 0 Lord. From our unholy indifference, from all compromise prompted by selfishness, from the unfruitfulness of our life in thy service and thy kingdom, Deliver us now and for all the years which may remain to us 0 Lord. 0 merciful (od who despiseth not the prayer of the contrite heart hear this confession of our unworthi- ness and unfaithfulness for thy mercy's sake. Lord have mercy upon us and incline our hearts to do thy will. In our present need we seek thy help 0 God. As our fathers turned to thee in days of crisis and alarm so turn. we. The unknown future troubles us and we are engulfed with anxiety and concern.

Now that I am home I wish to thank you again for your kindness in sending the paper faithfully far so long—eleven weeks. I looked forward to each Thursday morning, knowing that "The Advance" would be there. This must be a unique service you render, as other patients and the hospital staff members with whom I came in contact remarked it was the first time they had heard of a weekly paper being sent out in this way, I am glad to be home. Thanking you again, Yours sincerely, Margaret Wormworth. 0.0-0 MAYOR. IVIcHINNEY WILL NOT RETURN Editor, Advance-Times, Dear Sir: I would like to express through the medium and kindness of your paper to the citizens of Wingham my very deep appreciation of be- ing privileged to act on their be- half as a member of council for the past 10 years, one year as a councillor, two years as reeve and seven years as mayor. This has been a real honor, and a privilege I will cherish the rest of my life. I have been prould to represent Wingham. As I look back over the past ten years and recall many problems we, as a council, were called upon to solve, I realize that some were handled reasonably well and some not so well—but one 'thing, we all did what we felt best for our com- munity and I feel very proud of the harmony that prevailed among all council members at all times which is so essential for progres sive thinking and development without which the whole commun- ity suffers, I wish to say thank you to every member of council with whom I have been privileged to work !dur- ing these ten years. From each without exception, I have had complete cooaeration and unfail. ing loyalty. It has been wonderful to have been associated-with you, I feel I have learned a great dela' —an education that cannot be gain- ed elsewhere, and there is so much to learn about running a town of our size, where approximately a quarter million dollars is har lied annually, It requires much thought if it is to be done with reasonable efficiency. When spending other people's money it is so easy to be a good fellow to please people, but it's a costly method which must not be allowed, and that is where full council cooperation is so essential. A. reckless council can soon ruin a town's financial standing. I think our council am feel just- ly proud of the present splendid financial position of your town We have looked after all essential' requirements and also made con- siderable progress and still held, taxes to a very satisfactory level, The position here will compare very favorably with any town for mile& around. I can visualize trexnena dous future progress and still re- tain a Very sound financial pose) tion, with proper and careful plan- ning. It's pleasant to think we have our essential progressive opera- tions under very competent coma mittees. I'm thinking particular- ly of our Riverside Park Commis- sion, our planning and zoning board, also the start on the very important move to provide neces- sary sewage lines and disposal system to handle present and fu torerequirements and now our town is included in the Maitland V all e y Conservation Authority, thanks to the splendid help of Bob Wenger. This is very important to our future in many ways. We must act now. You can't grow trees in three or four years, It takes many years and we Must start now to preserve our Water supply. Also plans are under way to add S. new front to our arena. We can also feel very proud of otfr town personnel, such as our police force, town clerk, assessor and building inspector, fire de- Parttnent and our works depart- anent men, All are doing an ex- eeptionally fine jab, evetyone Working together and helping each other With harmony and efficiency so essential to the taxpayers and town progress. We have everything We need (including toe much snow), My one great hope is to see the Riverside Park development On- Untie progressively and if I'm to' be given any credit, may it be my luck in getting the 0,P.R, to give tie this splendid properly free. I May say C. Lloyd & Son helped! considerably ba agreeing at my re- queSt to cancel their option to buy I longer without civilization destroy- ing iteelf. Tbese are inevitable con- elusions and moreover something that the Bible has been saying consistently since it was written and as the •age wears on we are becoming more and snore conscious of the surety of the fulfilment. The disciples once asked Jesus "What shall be the sign of Thy Coming and of the end of the Age," Matt. 24:3, And. Jesus answered them with many signs and fere- warnings telling them not to be de- ceived, v.4-5, by false signs and false prophets and not to be dis- couraged, v.6, by the terrible things that would happen to them. Many of these eigns have already been fulfilled and some others in part and others again await fulfil- ment, The greatest of all is the sign of the Lord's own Coming Into Reminiscing a FIFTY YEARS AGO Miss Clara Claw of Toronto is visiting relatives in town, Miss Maggie Badie of Turnberry left last week for Vancouver.

Dietrich It is my Intention 'to write a ser- ies of articles dealing with the hob- by of numistmatics. There are many rumors and mis- taken ideas about the value of coins and if anything, I hope that the following series of articles will increase your knowledge about coins as a hobby, I will welcome any questions that you might have concerning coins; just send your inquiries to Box 28, Clinton, In care of myself. 0 - - 0 , Up until a few years ago philat- ely (stamp collecting) reigned as the favorite hobby, but in the last few years, coin collecting has mushroomed among the popula- tion, and today I'm sure it is run- ning a close second to stamps, and with the increasing interest it may even exceed in popularity. If you are interested in collect- ing, start with the Canadian small penny series from 1920 to date. You will find your biggest diffi- culty in locating the following dates: 1922, 1923, 1924, 1925, 1926, and even the 1930 penny is becom- ing quite elusive. 0 - 0 0 About three years ago you could be quite sure of getting two or three George V small pennies out of each roll that you went through, but today you can consider your- self lucky if you get one out of two rolls. If you are so lucky as to know someone who has been saving coins in a piggy bank or some container over a period of years, ask and find out if you can go through them. One important thing to re- member is condition; most coins which have no nemistrnatic value in worn condition may be worth something in uncirculated eondi- tion. For example, a 1940 cent in brilliant uncirculated condition catalogues at $2.00 and $1,25, In circulated condition but in very good Or fine Condition, they are very common and worth only face Value, Good hunting and lots of luck. Omelette Makes Substantial Meal Omelettes fit perfectly into the pattern of lighter summer meals. Bat while they are considered light they can provide a substantial main Course providing an inexpensive meat alternate. For example, a plain omelette takes on new char- acter When a:substantial filling is added. This may be slanted mush- rooms, ground poultry or other Meat, chopped Mita, grated or cub- ed 01000,'etc. If a filling is added to the omel- ette just before the top le com- pletely set, it will blend with the stillmoist arid then If the om- elette is rolled up while the sur- face is Still a little moist it will not be overcooked when served. TWO The Win ha Advasteee'rheteta aaiedneedslaa OeL 4, 1961 NEW PROGRAM POSES PROBLEM decision, for the problem of getting children, from say the Lakelet area, to Clinton by nine or nine-thirty for classes is a tough one. Students would spend nearly as much time in buses as they would at school. The saute type of problem has been faced in other area centres, and in one case, an answer has been found. Listowel and Milverton have co-operated and the two boards pe- titioned for an addition to the Lis- towel high school, to serve the two school districts. From published re- ports, this plan has met with depart- mental approt al. It must be remembered that such an addition to the I istowel school is being built and equipped with 1C0. percent grants. Cost of operation will be borne by local taxpayers, aided by grants that in the case of trade shops will be $30.00 to $40.00 higher per pupil each year, than for the normal courses. There may be an .answer in this area, as lateknow is also in an Ssolat- ed position. We gathered from the senior officials of the department at a press conference last week, that if the Wingham and Lucknow boards • co-operated and requested an addi- tion to the Wingham school, to serve both districts, such a request would meet with at least sympathetic treat- ment by the department of education, Such being the case it is to be hoped that the two boards in quest- ion will make some move in this dir- ection shortly, as the grants for such purposes; are slated to come to an end in March of 1963, tries and who seem to be travelling the same path to uncontrolled anhd unnecessary war, We fear modern weapons which could bring such havoc as only generations could re- pair, In the midst of such fears for ourselves and our race, Help us 0 God. 0 God who knowest us to be set in the midst of so many and great dangers, and that by reason of the frailty of our nature we cannot al- ways stand strong and full of cour- age, grant to us such strength and protection as may support us in all dangers and carry us through all trials, . 0 thou that hearest prayer we thank thee for thy answering voice of courage and hope as we pray. Hear us 0 God as we pray for ,all our race. That it may please thee to look in kindness upon our country to preserve to us the blessings of home and work. May we continue to. live in an equal and impartial freedom, but in this help us by thy Good Spirit that we may use our liberties in ac- cord with thy holy will. We beseech. thee to hear us 0 God. That it may please thee to bless the whole family of mankind from one end of the earth to the other. We beseech thee to hear us 0 God. Purge the earth of all that which is evil; the hate of one man toward another, the hate of one race toward another, every form of tyranny over !man's action and thinking and speech. Take away the power of all that would destroy, tear down, and deny that which is good and trite and worthy, We beseech thee to hear us 0 God. Bless all leaders. Grant a divine patience and evenness to those who meet in councils where issues are con- founded and debate becomes a clash of wills rather than a meeting of minds. Give to all leaders a sense of their trusteeship of the lives of their fellowmen and a sense too of thy di- vine imperative which speaks for righteousness in every human heart. We beseech thee to hear us- 0 God. Bless thy Church that she may be guided and upheld by thy Spirit to witness faithfully to divine things through ,all the world. Revive her purity and strengthen the power of her testimony. Through the din of earthly interests and the storm of human passions let her make the still small voice of the divine felt and. heard. We ieseech thee to' heat Utt 0 God, that the problems posed in transpor- tation made the plan unworkable for the Wingham district. We have no complaint with this
