The Wingham Advance-Times, 1962-11-14, Page 18Page 2 Wingham, Advance -'gimes, ThUrSdah Noy. 14, 1962 Expadre peaks Continued from Page One now minister of a Presbyterian Church in Guelph, where he has been since demobilization in 1946. As padre of theregi- anent he served with his risen while in combat, in England, Italy, Holland, Belgium, France and Germany. Recalling the variousartnies that had fought in World War II the speaker mentioned the Gurkhas of Nepal, who served with the British troops as being outstanding fighters, and also spoke of the stamina of theBrir- ish soldier. In defining a Canadian sold- ier, Mr. Smith said he was a number of things. He was an , improviser, who soon learned to make -do with what he had. He was a businessman, which the speaker thought could ac- count for the fact there are so many successful businessmen in the Legion today. He said there never was a time when the Canadian soldier did not know exactly what his shoes, blanket, etc, , were worth, and what he could get for them on the market. The Canadian soldier was a churchman. Mr. Smith said he knew all about the church parades where men were form- ed up an hour before service and were inspected by the var- ious officers, before the padre could get tus say, He did know, however, that soldiers attended church services of their own tie - site and did not take religion lightly. Added to all his other attri- butes, the Canadian soldier was a comrade, There was com- radeship in barracks. When soldiers went on leave it was usually with a comrade and there was often a comrade to loan a man money when he went on leave, Above all, Canadians were comrades on the battlefield and the men knew that if they were wound- ed they would not be left to die without some effort from their fellow soldiers. Mr. Smith was thanked by Willis Hall, a wartime mem- ber of the Perth Regiment. Others who addressed the gathering were Rev. C. F. John- son, rector of St. Paul's, Mur- ray Gaunt, R, S. Hetherington, R. E. McKinney, George Cur- tis who had accompanied the guest speaker and renewed ac- quaintances with friends. Jack Bateson extended greetings from the district. Dave Crothers thanked the Evening Guild of St. Paul's for catering to the banquet and Mrs. Herbert Fuller, president, re- plied. A social evening follow- ed at the Legion Home. Cenotaph Service Continued from Page One Mayor R. S. Hetherington voiced his admiration for the Legion in their efforts and or- ganization of this special ser- vice each year. He remarked on the number of people who turned out to the cenotaph and said that he felt it was a time of re -dedication for individuals, who realize the futility of war and their responsibility as citi- zens to see that hostility, is a- verted and that names are not added to those already on our monuments. Rev. G. L. Fish offered pray- er. Murray Gaunt, newly-elect,- ed ewly-elect-ed member of the Ontario Legis lature for Huron, spoke briefly. Mr. Gaunt said, "We who have not served tend to take for gran- ted the sacrifices of those who died." He said that it is the task of everyone to foster love, the first and major element of peace. Wreaths were placed by the Town of Wingham, Township of Turnberry, Wingham Busi- ness Association, Public School, Order of the Eastern Star, High School Cadet Corps, A. F. & A. M., Lebannon Chapter, Ma- ;estic Rebekah Lodge, IOOF, Canadian Order of Foresters, 1st Wingham Boy Scout Troop, Salvation Army, Lions Club, Kinette Club, Kinsmen Club, 99th Field Battery, L.O.L., Province of Ontario, Ladies' Auxiliary to the Legion. The veterans then placed their pop- pies in the Legion wreath and it was laid at the cenotaph. The Last Post was sounded and silence observed in memory of the fallen. Following Rev- eille, Rev. C. M. Jardine pro- nounced the benediction and the national anthem was played by the Salvation Army Band. The parade was re-formed and the Legion and the Auxil- iary were led by the pipe band to the Baptist Church for morn- ing service. The 99th Battery attended service at St. Paul's Church and the Scouts and Cubs marched to the United Church, where they attended service in a body. In the afternoon the Legion and Auxiliary, and members of the cenotaph guard went to Tees water where a similar service was held. George Tervit was parade marshall and Willis Hall was sergeant -at -arms for the color party. The Legion Pipe. Band also tookpart in theparade and march -past in Teeswater. This country is making moral progress in a few respects. For example, there are not nearly so many horse thieves and train robbers as there used to be. Mrs. R. LeVan Wins Blankets The annual Kinette fall tea was held Wednesday afternoon in the council chambers. The president of the Kinette Club, Mrs, Alan Williams, welcomed the guests at the door. The tea table was attractive with tall yellow candles and a beautiful arrangement of rust and yellow mums in a silver rose bowl. Tea was poured by Mrs. Bill Hotchkiss, Mrs. Matt Boyd, Mrs. Jack Isaac, Mrs. Stewart Leed- ham, Mrs. Dave Burgess and Mrs. Bruce MacDonald. The tempting variety of home bak- ing was quickly sold, as were the mysterious looking pack- ages on the touch -and -take table. The table displaying home made candy was also very popular with the ladies attend- ing the tea. A new feature this year was the beautiful selection of dolls clothes. Mrs. Jim Currie, who was in charge of this table, re- ports that it netted the club ap- proximately $45.00 for service work. Mrs. Richard LeVan was the winner of the two white Kenwood blankets. The Kinettes are very pleas- ed with the profits from their raffle and tea which amounted to $258.00 and they wish to thank all the people who bought raffle tickets and attended the event. EMO Meeting Continued from Page One palities are being overrlooked, but because it would be vital, in case of an emergency, to have these officets all in one location in order to co-ordin- ate their planning. Conimit- tee members will be selected. froth, the entire area, POWER PROBLEM Matt Boyd, head of special servicos, pointed out that in such an emergency electric ower would have to be chan- neled only to those places where it was vitally needed, such as the hospitals, It is ex- eeted that the district high school would be taken over as an emergency hospital for refu- ees from the target areas. If the supply of power from the Hanover distribution point were interrupted, the only power in Wingham would be from the 100 kilowatt generator at the ospital and the 150 kilowatt enerator at the Lower Wing - am plant of the PUC. A third generator with a capacity of 45 kilowatts is also avail- ble, being the one recently eplaeed at the hospital, Homes in town and district would sim- ply have to go without electri- city until connections with Hanover could be restored. • MEDICAL SERVICES Dr. McKibbon said that the medical problem would be- come acute in case of a wide- spread emergnecy. He point- ed out that it would be vital to have a complete registration of all persons coming into the area and full knowledge of billeting arrangements so that the med- ical people could locate them when needed. It was also pointed out that a complete list would have to be prepared at once of all persons in this area with any medical, first aid or nursing experience. The general public must be made aware at once of the need to include first aid supplies in their preparations. The doctor said that allcat- egories would arrive here, old persons, expectant mothers, chronically ill, etc. , and these persons would have to be look- ed after, He also stated that the hospital has a complete di- saster plan in readiness for such an emergency. Mr. MacDonald stressed the importance of organizing at least one division of the St. John Ambulance Corps in Wing - ham at once, and said that the Goderich units would be avail- able to take charge of the training. POLICING The need for an organized corps of special police wasem- phasized, and it was suggested that the officer in charge of that branch, Chief Jim Miller, might contact the local Legion as one source of volunteers for training. Jirn Lee, who has been put in charge of catering, pointed out that in case of an emer- gency he would be completely tied up in his own work as chef at the hospital. However, he THiS JUMBLE OF WRECKAGE was all that was left of a truck owned by Walden Brothers, of Wingham, when it was involved in a crash with another trans- port west of London. Driver Jim Morrison, of Wing - ham, was pinned in the wreckage for two and a halt hours with a broken leg and arm. was asked to take charge dur- ing the planning stages, until a definite and workable plan for handling the influx of hundreds of target area persons is worked out. The matter of an adequate warning system was discussed, and the feasibility of using the town bell, or possible the loud speaker system at the Presby- terian Church. Final decision was not reached in this regard, The warning would be required only for the first alarm, after which time all persons would be expected to keep in touch by radio. It is expected thata telephone "fan -out" system will oe required in the rural areas. Another meeting will beheld shortly at which the service heads will be expected to re- port on the formation of com- mittees and -plans for training. Parents Asked to Warn Children Provincial police have ask- ed this newspaper to warn par- ents in the district that there have been several cases re- cently of children, being mol- ested by adults in cars. Parents should make their children aware of the situation and have them tell their teach- ers or parents, and inform the police if any child is bothered by adults in cars. The child- ren should be told to try to ob- tain the license number of the car if at all possible and to get a description of the driver. Under no condition should child- ren accept rides either to or from school offered by unknown adults. Women like to look into a mirror, except when pulling away from a parking place. Friday Service In Memory of Former Students Students of Wingham and District High School held a Re- membrance Day service on Fri- day afternoon, which opened with the singing of, "0 Valiant Hearts", with George Conn at the organ. The Lord's Prayer was repeated and Philip Adams read Scripture. The girls' ensemble of Grade X sang "Let's Pray for Peace" and Peter - John Pace read a message on remembrance. Remembrance sentences were given by Cameron Robinson, Beth Merrick and Anne Cardiff. Julia Thornton sang a solo, "In Flanders' Fields", J. W. Pattison of the Royal Canadian Legion addressed the students and read the names of former high school pupils who had given their lives in service of their country. The Last Post, silence and reveille were followed by the recessional with a mass choir. "Land of Our Birth" was sung and the national anthem brought an impressive service to a close.
