She tells us they have a hard time keeping a sign there as people keep stealing them. Husbands Attend Mission Circle The Fvening Mission Circle of the Baptist Church met Thurs- day in the church with Mrs, Sin- elair's group in charge, The husbands were guests, A social hour preceded the meeting whieh was opened by the president, Mrs..

Mrs, llotchkiss gave .t short account of the work among the Pioneer Girls. Bruce McLean led in prayer. Mr, and Mrs. Glen Scheifele sang a duet, "Here Is My All". The guest speaker was then introduced by Mrs. Collar, Ile said that the program of God is done on an individual basis. If our lives betray what our lips are saying then we should re- main quiet.

Dear Mr. Wenger: As the author of the letter to the Council which brought about the issue of sewer instal- lation on the north side of the river, may I comment on your editorial of last week? We ap- preciate your interest in this scheme and your fair and logi- cal approach to its solution, Residents in this area NEED sewers. Mane lots are small with not enough fall and soil unsuitable for drainage. How - ever, if costs are to be excess- ive, these who are anxious to have sewers installed, hesitate to press for something which will increase taxes beyond what some people are able to pay and create for them a certain amount of hardship. I:\pansion in this area is hampered by lack of sewers. We have been given to understand that in the past, industries have not located in Wingham because the sew age system was inade- quate. Smelt.the sum you men- tion 044, eat)) to be borne by the town is a small sum con- siderin, the advantage which would result :rout the spending of it, Kneeing the difficulties which '.andsomeotcurncigh- bors het t eept rtenced w ith scel>tIc tamps :or one family dwellings, it surprises us that indi;stri.s .alt; ley ing large num- hers .'f ' :.t. rs ati. not eager to hays t1 s.stcn i:Istailed .end will:+ne t.' -ear . proport:enate ;tlt,t.N,It..... t..altit t..."ttl"1 tttt,tttttlbtttttMP.. share of the cost. It is hoped that council will give serious consideration to the suggestion your editorial contains, Yours truly, Agnes G. Williamson 0--0--0. The Editor, Advance -Times, Wingham, Ontario. Dear Sir: While our 1S, 000 dollar a year eggheads sit on their fan- nies and merrily stir a pot of controversial pension stew, we find Mr. Krocker, a senior actuary in the insurance de- partment, is fired for daring to find fault with it. Since this has aroused our curiosity, we would appreciate it very much if Mr. Krocker would explain the whole thing to us in the press. This we know, those who can afford it have had a fine pension plan for years. The rest of us in the lower income group cannot afford it. It's that simple. Why not forget the whole thing and give everyone the old age pension at 65. We in the lower income bracket are the forgotten tribe, As far as the government is concerned, we're back in the age when a pound of butter or a juicy steak cost 25 cents. A man earning 555.00 a week has 55.50 whacked off his pay for personal income tat, Add unemployment insurance, hospitalit;ation, medical and what have you and he ends up Ns.

Since life insurance, travelling expenses and cloth- ing take another chunk out of his pay he now ends up with the princely average weekly pay of approximately 520.75, which he can call his own. The younger generation wouldn't take the time to figure this out so he heads straight to the friendly finance company to make arrangements about buying a car. This is where he gets his first shock. Every time he goes to pay his insurance premium it has gone up until he finds he just can't pay it. He is then forced to pay the $20.00 into the Motor Vehicle accident claims. Should he have the misfortune to have an accident, he may find himself in debt for the rest of his Iife. The net result is tragedy. This tax squeeze is chang- ing the very character of Cana- dians. We have had to become as hard as nails to survive. We' ve been forced to stick a big rock where our hearts used to be, We can't afford to help a friend or we'd find ourselves sitting on the corner with a tin cup and a long face. We're do- ing the tango with a couple of finance companies and eating pills by the peck, some to give us pep, some to slow us down, some to calm our nerves and some to make us sleep. It's up to you lads in Ottawa to run this country like a busi- ness should be run. Avoid the costly mistakes you've made in the past, stop handing out mil- lions for causes that aren't ur- gent, There's no excuse for a mistake like the one of the overstock of winter Air Force tunics; 12,500 tunics at 56,50 each is a lot of moolah down the drain. If our members were forced to wear them until they were worn out, it might teach them to be a bit more cautious. As for the Provincial House, get off your haunches and dig into the car insurance businets before every last one of us has to drop our premiums and be forced into the 520 accident claims deal. Every single man should have a 52000 tax exemption, a married man 54,000. Even then: he would hate to be a financial wizard to save a crutinmy dime F for the future, It's got to the state where THIS 15 YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO REALIZE TREMENDOUS SAVINGS �---.'- $ave 20c — 4.9z.

Weary Willie. ing Club Carnival in Maple Leaf Gardens Monday night. Mr. and Mrs. Allan Pattison on the lath Concession of East Wawanosh, celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary last week by entertaining about fifty of their friends and neigh- bors to a progressive euchre party and dance. A most enjoy- able evening was spent and Mr. and Mrs, Pattison received many beautiful gifts. Old-timers here saw some- thing that they never saw before and those with less experience saw something they may never see again. On Monday morning the thunder roared and the Iightning flashed and at the same time snow fell quite heav- ily, mixed with the failing snow was hail. Later the storm turned to rain and then the wea- ther turned colder. Among those who attended the Toronto Skating Club Car- nival last week were: Mrs, A. D, MacWiiliam, Mrs. R. S. Hether- ington, Mrs. George Ross and daughters, Barbara and Mary; Mrs. W. J. Adapts; Mr. and Mrs. Alton Adams; W. R. Cruickshank Mr, and Mrs, F. E, Madill; W. H. Gurney; Mrs, Ola Colborne; Mr. and Mrs. Don Nasmith. MARCH 1951 J. H. Hopper of Brussels, who resided in Wingham for many years, has just returned after spending the winter in Florida. While he was in St, Petersburg, he met Sr. Major Arthur George Ashby, who is in chatge of the St. Petersburg Corps of the Sal- vation Array. Mr, Ashby worked at Lloyd's Factory in Wingham many years ago. The Major then had two retired Salvation Army officers call to see Mt. Hopper, They were Brig, I. R. Agnew and his brother, Col.F, Agnew, who are both living in St. Petersburg. They resided in Wingham as young men. The Rev, Geo. Watt ofShell- brook, Sask., has accepted a call to Dungannon United Church. His duties will com- mence this summer. Mr. Watt will fill the vacancy created by the reti rement of the Rev.Jas. Bright, who retires after three years. The new minister is a native of this district, a son of the Rev, J.W. and Mrs, Watt, Whitechurch. A brother, Rev. Robert Watt, is at Gorrie. M. N, Allen, Wroxeter drug- gist, has disposed of his busi- ness to D. Stacia, of Orange- ville, who will take over the business next week. Mr. Allen's retirement from business closes a long and successful service to the people of this community. A native of Wroxeter, he was first associated with the late Jim Fox then Iater with the late Dr. Brawn. Graduating from the Ontario School of Pharmacy in 1833, he purchased the business which continued in the same building until the present time. Wise shoppers read and use the Wingham Advance -Times.
