Rugged fullback Bill Yemen opened the scoring in the first quarter, bulldozing his way through the St, Marys line for a touchdown. (Yemen's touchdown capped off a 64 -yard march by Wingham.) Murray Procter kicked the convert to give Wingham a healthy 7 to 0 lead, Only minutes later, quarter- back Procter caught Ron Deyell in the clear and the two com- bined for a 55 -yard pass -run play that resulted in another major score. Procter's attempt: ed convert was wide. Going into the second quar- ter Wingham bolstered a 13-0 lead and worked more as a tight defensive unit to protect their lead, Procter added a pair of singles in the quarter to end the scoring in the first half. Proc- ter also ran for a 30 -yard TA but it was washed out because of a penalty against Wingham. In the final half both teams played hard with St. Marys put- ting on pressure to decrease the difference in the score but the Mustang defence held them off and the score remained Wing - ham 15, St. Marys 0. Randy McGlynn was the big runner for Wingham as he pick- ed up 70 yards rushing and add- ed another 43 yards on pass plays. The next home game will be Oct. 27 against Goderioh.

Also it encourages the mothers to keep busy .at their gardening. A fair is a place of enter- tainment and enjoyment where you can meet old and new friends.

Teen Topics BY MARY LOU JAMIESON J Question: "Do you feel that the average teenager is irnpres- ed by teenage drivets who are show-offs behind the wheel?" Interviewer's Comment; "Dur- ing my interviews with students I found they had some pretty firm ideas about show-off driv- ers. Here's what they had to say." 0--0--0 Brock Hueston; "Nol it One show-off spoils the reputation of all teenage drivers, even though their records are spot- less." 0--0--0 Hugh McCallum: "Show- offs behind the wheel are con- sidered too dense to know any better." 0--0--0 Rosemary Herd: "No. I think that people who watch other people showing off may think it is funny at the moment, but later, when they really think about it they realize that it is very dangerous and stupid," 0--0--0 Doreen Pattison: "A show- off wants attention but when he realizes that he is not impress- ing others by his actions he will see how foolish and dangerous his actions are." 0--0--0 Elgin Sleightholm: "No. A responsible teenage driver can see through a show-off and realizes that it isn't really smart. He knows that passen- gers' lives are endangered." 0--0--0 Susan Spry: "No. Lives are at stake. There are too many accidents now and I hate to hear of any more. It spoils the reputation of teenagers who try their best to be good drivers." WI.ngham Advance-Tirnesw Thursday, Oct. ?, 190 Pare JAMES CAMPBELL BY DAVID WENGER English, James Campbell spent the greatest part of his life in the cities of Ottawa, Woodstock and London. He received his high school education at Lon- don Central Secondary School along with 1300 other students. He took part in sports, debates, public speaking and hobby ac- tivities. The only subject he had trouble with was English. Since one of his philosophies of life is that one should try to master what he finds most dif- ficult, he went on to major in English at university. He entered Huron College, which is affiliated with Western University. Mr, Campbell started in a pre -business course but changed over to psychology and English. He is•continuing his university education extra- murally, studying history and Grade IX Boys Get First Taste Of Cadet Training BY GARY REED On Tuesday, of last week, No. 593 Wingham District High School Cadet Corps commenc- ed its annual training program. The new grade nine cadets, un- der the supervision of their ca- det leaders, received their first LYNDA REAVIE, BRIAN CASLICK and JOHN MARTIN participate in Science Club activities. period of drill instruction.Gradl ten and eleven cadets will also soon be receiving similartrain- ing. During past years the Wing - ham Cadet Corps has had a high standard of efficiency as shown by their repeated winning of the Lord Strathcona Shield. This year, as in the past, the cadets are showing, through their gen- eral attitude towards the train- ing, they have pride in their corps. Cadet training benefits the cadet leaders as well as the cadets since they receive ex- perience in leadership and classroom teaching. Most of the present cadet leaders at W.D. H.S. have qualified either by passing the cadet leadership course at Central Command Cadet Camp at Ipperwash or by attending a local Student Mil- itia program in the summer. Subjects such as map using, rifle and radio are taught in the winter months when drill is im- possible due to weather condi- tions. The cadet training is climaxed in the spring when the corps holds its annual inspec- tion ceremonies which termin- ates the well planned cadet training program for the sea- son. THE CADETS ARE beginning the fall train. ing period at WDHS. When the bad weather sets in the boys will receive indoor in, struction and take to the parade square again in the spring. Mr, Campbell is single and intends to remain that way in spite of having to convince a couple of admirers of his in- tentions. Judging from his per- sistent nature I believe he will succeed. As you might guess, much of his spare time is spent in stud- ies but he has his diversions. Mr. Campbell loves driving and meeting people so he combines both passions by taking trips about the country when he can afford it. He has travelled in the southern U.S. extensively and especially likes the scenery and historical spots in Georgia. He says French Canadian areas have lots of beautiful scenery to offer, but that is all. He plans a trip to Florida at Christ- mas and possibly a trip to Wash- ington in the Easter holidays, but at the moment that seems a long way off. The only hold Europe has on him is that perhaps in three of four years he may go there and try to buy a second hand Ferrari or Porsche at a price within his pocketbook. As far as the peo- ple go, Mr. Campbell says he can meet them in Canada. "If Europe is so wonderful, why are they coming here?" he asks. His love for cars has led him into car rallies around the Lon- don area and he says he may build a formula "V" racer in the spring. A formula V is a regular racing body dropped on a chassis with a Volkswagen en- gine. Mr. Campbell now driv- es a TR -3, but note this, fel- lows, he is trying to sell it to finance the formula venture. For the girls, especially, Mr. Campbell likes the Beat- les but if your a Rolling Stone fan, it's the brakes. He has something against your heroes because he can't see their ears. He likes folk music of the Bob Dylan and Joan Baetz variety and also the commercialized versions of Chad Mitchell. He has had enough of The Kingston Trio and is selling all his al- bums. His taste in music is rounded out by the inspiring works of Wagner. Mr. Campbell feels that teenagers have grown up too much and too fast. We never work for the cars or other ma- terialistic things we have. In 1954-55 he worked for 250 an hour. He feels we have forgot- ten that these circumstances did exist and are not grateful for present conditions, nor do we work hard enough to be worthy of them. We have also, in many cases, forgotten or ig- nored parental respect. He frowns on pants that are too tapered, hair that is too long, and pointed shoes. But don't lose heart. He has some good words for us, too, We are smarter intellectually than teenagers used to be. We have adapted well to an accel- erated course and are up on world affairs, (Ile credits the latter to television which takes no work.) but we are lacking on historical events. In Mr. Campbell W.b.H.S. has a fine plan and teacher. 1 hope he will be with us for many years. Welcome, Mr. Campbell. and all the best.
