The Wingham Advance-Times, 1965-10-21, Page 17PAM WALDEN, JOAN CRUICKSHANK, JOAN REMINGTON Teens Appreciate Efforts of Adults BY JIM NASMITH For some time now, mem- bers of our community have been working hard each Friday night to provide us, the young people of the area, with enter- tainment. Although youth has the reputation of taking things for granted, we would like to express our appreciation to the Kinsmen Club and the Kinettes, for the terrific job they are do- ing. During the last decade, var- ious Teen Town councils form- ed entirely of teenagers tried to overcome the red tape of get- ting the high school auditorium and to solve the problems that lack of support and organiza- tion brought. These attempts to hold dances met with varied success. Therefore we are grateful to the Kinsman for their strong and enthusiastic support of such endeavours and hope that we can help their ef- forts to continue. But this is only one phase of improvement that our commun- ity has offered Winghatn's youth. The recreation council has completely changed the scene for the little folk in the summer, with the excellent or- ganization of swimming and playground facilities. All age groups have enjoyed the plea- sures of the roller skating and associated dances that the tire- less efforts of Mr. Kersell, rec- reation director, have brought to us. There is no doubt in our minds that grown-ups of Wing - ham have made the commun- ity a far more enjoyable place for its youth and we certainly appreciate it. Our o••ly con- cern is that our condi r in the future may not discourage the efforts of the community. The next conference foot- ball gatne will be played next Wednesday against Goderich in Wingham.

Meetings are held each week in Room 240. This year the plan is to have a talk given by a student on some branch of science one week, and then the next week to have a film dealing with some particular area in science. The club will also encourage and help the students who are going to do projects for the second annualMidwestern Sci- ence Fair, so that any student who is thinking of a project should attend the club meet- ings. If you have an interest in any branch of science please come out to the meetings. It should be a very interesting and re- warding way to spent your3.20 period. Deciding to raise chickens on her suburban acreage, Mrs. Smith placed some eggs undera hen, then asked a neighbor how long before she could expect them to hatch. "I believe," said the neighbor, "that the rule is 21 days for chickens and 23 for ducks. Later the neighbor inquired as to what luck she'd had. "Oh;' said Mrs. Smith, "when they did not hatch on the 21st day, I sold them. I didn't want ducks:' Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, Oct. 21, 1$65 -- Pale 9 District High School News and Views Olympic Silver Medal Winner To Be in Listowel This Month Bill Crothers of the East York Track Club, Olympic silver medal winner and specialist in the 880 -yard run, will be in Listowel later this month to ad- dress track and field coaches and competitors. His visit to the Legion Hall, Listowel, on Friday, October 29th, is being sponsored by the Legionnaire Track Club in co-operation with Branch 259, the Royal Canadian Legion. Crothers, along with team- mate Bruce Kidd, has been re- sponsible for the upsurge in track events during the past few years. An assist goes also to the Royal Canadian Legion which has a Dominion -wide program pointed toward improvingCan- ada's Olympic competitors. An assist in the Listowel- Wingham area comes from Rob- ert Keill, a former member of the E. Y . T. C. , who arranged Crothers' visit to Listowel and who has been the driving force behind the Legionnaire Track Club. "We have made too many strides in the area to see it slip away by default," said Mr. , Keill, now a resident of Hagers- ville, "It is our hope to have as many young athletes, their coaches and directors in Lis- towel as possible to hear Bill Crothers. i•Ie will conduct a minor workshop following his address with plenty of time for questions and answers. The run- ning feats of Jack Galbraith of Wingham, Jane Terpstra and Henry Martens have awakened the area to the heights that can be reached. We would like to see the Legionnaire Track Club grow to embrace many more athletes in this area." President Norm Townsend of Branch 259, Listowel, is of the same opinion, as is also At - wood's Cecil McCreight, Com- mander of Zone C-3. Mr. Mc- Creight announced that a spe- cial guest October 29 will be Durward Preston, city clerk of Waterloo and chairman of the Royal Canadian Legion Sports Training Program in Ontario. Clinton Beats Mustangs BY BILL KERR The Wingham District High School football Mustangs suffer- ed their first setback of the year as Clinton upset them 6 to 0. The game was played on Wed- nesday, the 13th in Clinton. The Mustangs who had shut out St. Marys and Exeter ear- lier, blew their chances of winning the game as they were hampered by some costly pen- alties and fumbles. Clinton scored an early sec- ond quarter unconverted touch- down for the only scoring play of the garne. Their kick-off was received by Doug Camp- bell who galloped 80 yards for a touchdown but it was washed out because of a clipping pen- alty to Wingham. The ball was put into play MRS. CREET 13Y LEE WENGER Mrs. Creet, formerly Miss Leaman, was born in Leaming- ton where she attended school. When she completed her sec- ondary school education she entered the University of Wes- tern Ontario. She has always been inter- ested in sports and participated in sports activities in both High school and university. She played on inter -collegiate teams, mostly in basketball. Mrs. Creet did not decide to become a teacher until her second year of university. Shc admired her professors and this helped her to make up her tnind, although she says the decisioh was not difficult. In the past Mrs. Greet has entertained for children, ar- ranging games, and shows, dancing and singing. She is interested in music of any kind and enjoys choreography and theatrical work. Shc has also been a model in competitive pictures and worked for an ar- chitect. This summer she married Thomas Creet, Osgoodc flail, she enjoys the keeping about women. Her advice to girls is to know as much as possible about as many professions as they can before making a final choice. Shc docs not feel that choosing between two careers because they arc the only thing you know about is wise. Mrs.Crect .also says that nut all profes- sions are open to women. There is a lot of prejudice towards women in sonic fields. We hope that Mrs. Creet will be able to follow her in- terests in choreography and the theatre, but that she does not leave us for some time tocome. a law student at SIic feels that chores of house - as much as most again at the Clinton 45 yard line and the locals were stop- ped dead at the 40. They again threatened to tie the game in the middle of the final quarter when they marched 55 yards downfield while picking up 4 first downs to the Clinton 10 yard line but again the Mus- tangs were penalized and the ball was placed at the Clinton 30. Their continued surge came to an abrupt halt only inches away from the 20 yard line and an important first down. For the remainder of the game the play was restricted to the center field area and so the game ended Clinton 6, Wing - ham 0. The Mustangs were assessed eight penalties during the game for a total of 95 yards against them. Quarter back Dave Gowing tried eight passes, completing one and one being intercepted. Wingham's total yards rushing for the game was 301 yards. Carman McBurney was tops in the individual rushing, picking up 80 yards while Randy Mc- Glynn rushed for 61. BELL LINES by K. R, Witherden your telephone manager Keep Shooting a Safe Sport With the hunting season all around us once again, I'd like to pass on to Wingham hunters and 'hunters -to -he the following common sense points that appeared a while back In a telephone company safety journal. 1) Never carry a loaded gun in an automobile, wagon or other vehicle. Keep it in its case until you start hunting. 2) Before shooting, look into the breech and make sure that the barrel or barrels are clear. 3) Keep the safety lock on until just ready to shoot. 4) Never pull a gun through a fence nor carry it over with you. Keep the muzzle pointed away from yourself and others. 5) Never lay a loaded gun down in a boat. Never lift a gun from a boat by the barrel, 6) Don't set a loaded gun against a tree or fence or leave it lying on the ground. Even a playful dog might cause it to be discharged. 7) After a fall, or a climb, or after walking over ploughed ground, examine your gun to make sure the barrels are clear. 8) Never shoot at objects indistinctly seen among trees or bushes; they might be human beings. 9) Before shooting a game, make sure that no house, barn or other building is in the line of fire. 10) Don't leave your gun or shells near a stove, a fire- place or other fire, One other point not covered but important is that it is NEVER open season on telephone poles, conductors or cable. Taking pot shots at vital telephone installations not only shows a very great lack of maturity but endang- ers the life and property of people Who depend on the telephone to bring them assistance in emergencies. Little Grey linings Ever notice the way things seem to go wrong at the very worst minute? I guess it happens to all of us once in a while. Like the morning you're late for work is the one morning the car won't start. Or the day that com- pany is coming for dinner is the day that the washer de- cides to flood the floor. There just doesn't seem to be any way we can outfox these little disasters—all we can do is hang on to our temper and reach for the telephone. It will put you in touch with someone who can help out. You can reach the boss , , , who'll probably understand , . and a mechanic who understands why automobiles do what they do. You can get a repairman on the way to put the washer back in shape. And a phone call to a friend or neighbour may bring in someone to help with mopping up and offer some well-deserved sympathy. At times like these what's easier than picking up the telephone? It's always there to call on. And the help it brings, when you need it most, adds just that much more to the value of your telephone service, Come right in ... everybody's welcome ... the whole family is invited to put it's best foot � forward for all -'round shoe savings!
