To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the incorporation of the Township of East Wawan- osh, a monster picnic was held at the 10th Bridge, July 1st. Mr. and Mrs. A. K. New- combe of Stratford have taken up residence in Miss Isbister's house on Centre Street, Mr. Newcombe is in charge of the installation and repair for this district of the Bell Telephone Co. JULY 1953 An estimated $6,000 dam- age was done to the house and With all the enthusiasm and energy which has become their trade, mark, the people of East Wawanosh are putting the finishing touches on their preparations for the big celebration over Civic Holiday Week-end, The special events have been arranged to mark the 100th anniversary of the township's incorporation, and the fact that this birthday coincides with Canada's centennial provides a ready-made oppor- tunity to make the reunion a specially memorable one. The various committees in charge of the celebration have been working not merely for the past few months, but actually for the past couple of years, The East Wawanosh folks have an unusual his- Accidents in which there is injury to human beings bring forth some strange re- actions. We have seen able-bodied men frozen into immobility at the scene of a drowning when assistance was desperately needed. And we have seen by-standers at the scene of a motor accident so anxious to help that they have endangered human life by their ignorance. It is this latter type of over-eager helper we are thinking of particularly, even though their inten- tions may be the best. Apparently the vast majority of people are totally unaware that no accident victim should be moved even an inch before the arrival of trained ambulance personnel, who will employ proper equipment and experience. There are a few exceptions, of course. One would be the imminent danger of an Farmers in this part of Ontario may not know it, but they have a good deal to be thankful for this year. On a recent drive through the potato country around Alliston and the market gardens of the Holland Marsh, we saw what total loss can be. Hundreds of acres of cash crops completely drowned out with no hope of replacement so late in the season. It is true that farmers in this area are having great difficulty getting the hay dry enough to bring in, but pastures are won- derful and the livestock industry, which is the backbone of the farm economy here, is thriving on the abundance of fodder for cattle. Indeed, this area of the province is one of the most fortunate spots on the face of tory of close-knit cooperation, as demon- strated each year at their fowl supper in 13elgrave, This sort of experience is likely to result in a specielly successful centen- niel party, If you have not already done so we would suggest that you purchase a copy of the recently published history of East Wawanosh before you attend the birth- day events. A reminder of the values of the past, this book is written in a homey style which can be enjoyed by every mem- ber of the family. After you have read the history you will have a keener apprecia- tion of the heritage so highly prized by the folks who are marking their one hundredth birthday. accident victim being burned if the vehicle took fire. Untold numbers of injured persons have died or have suffered permanent paralysis because they were dragged out of the wreckage of a smashed-up car by inexperienced hands, One of the more frequent injuries in such accidents is a crushed spinal vertebra. If such a patient is moved carefully, strapped to a rigid frame, by a trained ambulance man, no permanent injury need arise. However, if careless movement without proper equip- ment is undertaken the crushed bone quite frequently damages or completely severs the spinal cord and the victim is doomed to permanent helplessness or death. It may seem cruel to leave a suffering person in the wreckage of a car until the ambulance arrives—but it is the kindest thing you can do. less thousands of civilians died in the bombings. And it was quite true that British and American bombs killed women and childen just as effectively as did Ger- man bombs. All the suffering and death caused by the war, however, was for a purpose—the single pyrpose that an even greater evil should be ended. If you know anything of the events which led to the Second World War you will be aware that over a period of ten years or more the conflict could have been avoided had Britain, France or the United States faced the cold facts and taken mili- tary action to stop the re-arming of Ger- many. But in those years the counter-part of the NDP, the Labor party in Great Britain, screamed to high heaven that war in any form, at any time was too evil to contemplate. The Socialists' vision was not sharp enough to see the formative outlines of the ultimate obscenity which was to come. And in the long run they, too, had to agree that war was inevitable. Those who support the war in Viet Nam believe that it is an evil thing but a necessary one. They believe that the bru- talizing force of Chinese communism must not be allowed to spread and gain power in preparation for domination of all Asia and eventually the entire world. If Mr. Douglas insists that Canada must somehow stop the war in Viet Nam we wonder what is' his alternative recipe for halting the march of evil domination in Southeast Asia. Or is it possible that his "stop the war" appeal is chosen because it is a popular theme for an ambitious poli- tical party? the globe. Total crop failures are virtually unheard of; there is an occasional tornado in localized sections, but there has never been frequent or widespread wind damage, Floods, drought and pestilence are not a really significant threat and only rarely is there any major damage from hail. Earthquakes, prairie fires and grasshoppers are all some other person's worry. And, thank God, our fruitful fields have never known the trampling boots of an invading army. We fully realize that farmers' prob- lems can be frustrating and worrisome at times, but those who earn their livelihood from the good earth as well as we who consume Its fruitful products have a great deal for which to be thankful. JULY 1918 Mr. H. J. Thompson who for the past couple of years has conducted a grocery business in the Holmes block has disposed of his stock and closed the store. He will put all his time to his life insurance business. The windstorm on the night of June 30 blew down a large part of the old tannery near the CPR tracks. The building pre- sents an appearance as though the Hun was about and that he must have mistaken it for a - hospital or a church. Messrs. Earl Johns and George Joynt have passed their second year exams at the Royal College of Dental Surgeons, Toronto. Alvin Cameron has been successful in his first year exams and Harry Dey his third year. All these gentlemen have graduated with honors and are graduates of the Wingham High School. Mr. and Mrs. A. Runstedler left Saturday for Brampton. They have been esteemed citi- zens of Wingham for several years and the best wishes of a host of friends follow them to their new home. Mrs. Runsted- ler has conducted an up-to-date millinery parlor here and enjoy- ed a good share of patronage, Mr. Runstedler is a moulder by trade and until recently was employed in the Western Foun- dry. JULY 1932 Some time ago the Masonic Lodge No. 286 A.F.& A.M. purchased the Mills Memorial Hall which was formerly owned by the Congregational church, to be used as a Masonic Hall. Work has commenced to put the building in shape, a new floor is being put in the basement, lavatories and new furnace in- stalled, and bowling alley re- modelled. An up-to-date kit- chen is also being fitted out in the basement. The basement will be used as a banquet and entertainment hall and the main floor will be used as the Lodge Room. Mr. W. J. Henderson, Wing- ham Jct., received word on Saturday that his son, W. J.

After his bitterly disappointing 1613 expedition up the Ottawa River in search of a northern sea that turned out to be nothing more than a figment of a fel- low Frenchman's imagination, Champlain again braved the rapids of the Ottawa in 1615 as far as the Huron territory around Georgian bay. There he visited among the Indian !ages and then went on the warpath with the Indians. Accompanying a war party of Algonquins and Hurons, Champlain's expedition headed south across the eastern poem, "Give Lis Men" was read by Mrs. Sidney Thompson. The meeting closed with Mrs. John Jamieson giving the benediction, MacFARLANE AND RAYNARD REUNION The MacFarlane-Raynard reunion was held on July 16 in Bluevale Park.

The lack of discipline among the Hurons and. Algonquins infuriated Cham- plain, who was attempting to direct the at- tack, and foiled the mission. They with- drew, several of the Indians wounded. Champlain retreated with the Indians and spent the winter going from village to village recording the tribal customs of the various groups. In the spring he returned to the settlement of Quebec and In August 1616 tailed back to Prance.

It is not difficult to win popular sup- port today by condemning war. Every hu- man in his right senses rushes to agree that war, in any form or in any country is evil, It requires a little more percep- tion and courage, however, to admit that evil though war may be, there are still greater evils in existence, Think back to the total evilness thrust upon the civilized world by Adolph Hitler. Remember for a moment the fiendish tor- ture and destruction of countless millions of Jews who died for no better reason than their racial origin. The children were slaughtered along with or even thousands of miles from their parents. The cap- tured women of "enemy" countries were utterly prostituted to the lust of the con- querors, The Russians, just after the turn of the century all but exterminated the Jews in their own country. The Japanese tortured and murdered their captives for the sheer pleasure of seeing human agony. The war which finally ended these physical horrors was evil.
