C. Donald Lloyd, general
chairman of the Wingham Dist-
rict Centennial Pool commit-
tee has issued the following
statement in regard to the cam-
paign to raise $25,000 by do-
nation for the construction of a
swimming pool in Wingham,
"Our campaign for funds op-
ens June 1st. Many leaders and
canvassers have already made
their personal pledges and do-
nations. These, together with
gifts from service clubs and in-
dustry, now total over $9, 000
or 35 per cent of our objective.
"We all know that the re-
mainder will be more difficult.
But the cause is a good one!
Success will help raise the
standard of the whole area. The
ambitious Riverside Park pro-
gram will be enhanced.
"Enthusiasm among the gen-
eral public is gratifying and ex-
citing. Our project is gaining
momentum quickly now. We
are hoping for the generous sup-
port of everyone."
DONATIONS & PLEDGES
As of Tuesday evening the
following list of conations and
pledges have been received by
Ontario's famous historical
fashion pageant, Portraits from
the Past, was presented in the
town hall on Monday evening,
sponsored by the Wingham B&
PW Club. The proceeds will
go toward financing the Cen-
tennial swimming pool project
in Wingham.
The presentation consisted of
40 women's costumes dating
from the visits of early explor-
ers to the early 1900s. Replicas
of the dresses worn by such fa-
mous women as Madame Cham-
plain, Mrs. John Graves Sim-
coe and Laura Secord were in-
cluded in the show. Members
of many local women's organi-
zations modelled the costumes.
The show is touring the
province under the auspices of
the Ontario Centennial Plan-
ning Branch, a division of the
Ontario Department of Tourism
and Information. It has already
visited many major communi-
ties in the province, and has
helped raise thousands of dol-
lars for local centennial cele-
brations. In addition to the
contribution it has made to
centennial fund-raising, it has
helped stimulate interest in pre-
paring for the 100th birthday of
Confederation.
Costumes in Portraits from
the Past were designed after ex-
tensive research in old books,
magazines and historical docu-
ments, but are made of modern
fabrics using modern dressmak-
ing techniques. This has en-
abled the costumes to stand up
to repeated use and display ev-
en though some of the originals
from which they were taken,,
such as Queen Victoria's wed-
ding dress, were intended to be
worn only once.
Some of the garments were
designed for wear on formal oc-
casions while others are model-
ed after the daily garb worn by
pioneer women and Indian
maidens.

TWO FIRE CALLS--
Firemen rushed to answer a
call last Thursday but found it
to be a false alarm and did not
leave the fire hall. The fol-
lowing afternoon they made a
run to the Stanley-terry plant
where rubbish was burning on
the bank below the plant.

Anna Meyer, some interesting
and little-known historical facts
-a5O-urCeer7da's early women
were contained, These facts help
bring authenticity to the glamor

sentation of fashions.

TO USA FOR SUMMER
Tom Powell, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Ed, Powsll of Wingham
recently completed the third
year of the Agricultural Engin-
eering course at the University
of Guelph with top standing in
his class. Ile is spending the
summer working for the Massey-
Ferguson Company in the south-
ern United States.
The Confederation Caravan
opens its one-day'exhibit in
Wingham June 10th, bringing to
Canadians the story of the na-
tion and her people in a way it
has never been told before.
You'll know the caravan's
coming when you hear its
mighty claxon blaring out the
first four notes of "0 Canada"
as the eight giant tractor-trail-
ers roll through town to the ex-
hibit site early in the morning.
Because of its size it will be
accompanied by a police escort
on its way to the site.
The major Centennial Com-
mission project took almost
four years to produce from idea
to fact,
Writers laid down broad story
lines. Then some of Canada's
top artists, sculptors and crafts-
men brought them to life under
the direction of the Canadian
Government Exhibition Com-
mission.
Visitors to the show find the
trailers -- the biggest ever
made in Canada -- arranged in
a quadrangle, with an enter-
tainment stage near the ent-
rance and towering triadetic
displays inside the formation,
The triadetics tell in sound and
light and photo the develop-
ment of this region of Canada.
Several of them have cranks so
the visitor can activate minia.-
ture shows himself,
But the main show is Inside
the seven exhibit trainers (the
eighth provides storage for the
triadetics.) The tales ate told
with still and movie pictures,
life-size mannequins that move,
intricate miniature figures and
scenes, reproductions of full,
size rooms and outdoor settings
as well as hundreds of artifacts.
You experience life as it was
lived in the Indian villages, a
tailor shop of Lower Canada,
the gold rush days, the Roaring
Twenties, and the Great De-
pression. You see the Ming
vases and fine silks the explore
ers were seeking when they
found Canada by mistake; tiny
sculptured figures of the Fathers
of Confederation, a rifle and
gas mask of one war and bomb
fragments of another, a stock
ticker rattling through the '29
crash.
And the sounds of other
times are all around you -- the
chant of the voyageurs probing
the heart of a continent, the
garrulous laughter of a tavern
of Upper Canada, the puffing
and clatter of a Prairie-bound
steam engine, the shriek of
bomb and shell in war.
Many visitors signing the
guest book after touring the
Confederation Caravan feel
they know a little more about
the people who passed this way
before us.
Under manager J. Errol Jor-
dan, this caravan travels 1,555
miles through Ontario west of
Toronto and Orillia, ending at
Essex Nov. 14.
Farewell dinner
for two doctors
About 75 members of the
nursing staff of Wingliam and
District Hospital gathered at
Danny's Restaurant last Wednes-
day for a farewell dinner in
honor of Dr. B. N. Corrin and
Dr. A. B. Klahsen who are
moving to London.
Mrs. Charles Lee was mis-
tress of ceremonies. Mrs. Wm,
Connell read an address and
Mrs. Reg Collar and Mrs. Hel-
en Casemore presented each of

Mrs. Pat Gibson and Miss
Emmie Shyff presented Mrs,
Corrin and Mrs. Klahsen with
orchid corsages.
Both Dr. Corrin and Dr.
Klahsen expressed their appre-
ciation and spoke of their hap-
py associations with the hospie
tal staff.
Mrs, I. Morrey, admires-,
trator of Wingham and District
Hospital also spoke and wished
the doctors well in their new
endeavours.
Truck wheels
miss body of
little girl
What could easily have been
a real tragedy occurred on An-
gus Street just before 10.00
a.m. Monday when little 3-
year-old Pamela Cameron,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dave
Cameron, nearly lost her life.
Carter's garbage truck was
working on the street and had
just serviced the Cameron
home, when it was called to
pick up another can that had
been overlooked on the other
side of the street. Driver Her-
man Gower started to back up
slowly and felt a slight bump.
As the truck continued backing
up the driver was shocked to
find the little girl lying on the
road in front of his vehicle.
It developed that a neigh-
bor, Mrs. Mundell, saw the
episode and started to scream,
but could not be heard over the
noise of the truck's motor. The
wee girl had come out onto the
street on a kiddie car and had
gone right under the back of
the truck at the time it started
backing up.
As the machine started to
back up she was thrown to the
pavement between the wheels
of the truck, but the kiddie car
was absolutely crushed. Fortu-
nately she lay still and stayed
in the same position as the
truck backed over her, missing
her with both the back and front
wheels.
She was rushed to the Wing-
ham and District Hospital and
was later released suffering from
only bruises and shock,
