Miss Gurney, who wrote hcr Grade 13 exams at the Wing- ham school in June, left five weeks ago in a "ship school" from England. The vessel was in the Gibraltar area when the results were given to her by her father, via telephone cable to London and ship-to-shore radio from London to the S. S. Dun- era, Her dad said that the circuit to London was good, but ap- parently the radio link was poor. However, he knew his daughter got the message that she had done well in the exams when he heard her cheering. The ship school originates in Toronto and the students were flown to England where they boarded the Dunera six weeks ago. The Voyage has taken in ports of call from Nor- way to Gibraltar and has in- cluded an inland jaunt to Mos- cow from Leningrad. Hopefully we'll hear more of Miss Gurney's trip when she arrives back in Wingham. with the annual water show at Riverside Park, sponsored by the Wingham Sportsmen's Associa- tion.

Despite the inclement weather the turnout of specta- tors was good, and the officers and directors were very pleased with the response from exhibit- ors. There were 38 exhibitors making entries to total 312 ex- hibits. The hall was suitably decor- ated with colorful placards and the centennial emblem, using flower, vegetable arid fruit mo- tif. Stainton Hardware also had an excellent display of garden and flower insecticides, herbi- cides and fertilizers as well as the tools necessary for success- ful horticulture.

Picture missing A picture loaned to us by Dawson Craig is missing. It is a photograph of the Coulter family and a threshing outfit which appeared in the July 6 edition of the Advance-Times. We had quite a number of old photographs in our office at that time and tried to make sure they were all returned to their rightful owners. It ap- pears that Mr. Craig's photo- graph must have been put in with those from some other con- tributor. We ask that all those who had pictures returned check to see if they may have the photograph. There are still some pictures in our office from the Centen- nial edition which have not been picked up by their owners. Would anyone who has not yet called for pictures loaned at that time please do so in the near future? --The Institute members took a bus trip to Goderich last Thursday and enjoyed a picnic in Harbour Park. sections were; Annuals, Mrs. 1.

P, Fenn was up- stairs at the time. When she heard the commotion she ran down a back staircase and es- caped to a neighbor's home. She is the owner of the farm in Kinloss which has been operat- ed by Mr. Berki. Neighbors said that after Mrs. Good left her home a man came out waving a knife and after shouting, returned to the house. It is understood that police later discovered a blood stained knife in the Good home. The two ladies are reported to be in satisfactory condition in the local hospital. Constable Zimmer and Chief Miller were assisted in their in- vestigations by O.P.P. Consta- ble Robert Kerr of the Mt. For- est identification branch. Berki, a 41-year-old bache- lor who came from Hungary 10 years ago, will appear in God- erich court on Thursday of this week. Public School French to be meeting theme William Harris, chairman of the Wingham Public School Board, is at present contacting the other elementary school boards in this area with a sug- gestion that a meeting be held in October. Purpose of the meeting will be to discuss the teaching of French in Grades '7 and 8. Mr. Harris has been in con- tact with John Young, Depart- ment of Education staff inspec- tor for French, and has learned that Grade 9 French, taught during the first year in high school, will be upgraded by 1970, This move will be made on the understanding that with- in a short time all public schools will include French in their regular teaching schedule. In view of this information the local public school board feels that French should be started in Grades 7 and 8 nolat• er than the fall of 1968. Since it will be necessary to secure the services of a qualified French teacher, it seems wise to confer with the representa- tives of all elementary school boards whose pupils will attend the Wingham District High School (or the Huron-Bruce District High School, as it will be known by that time), Mr. Young will be available to attend the meeting of boards and provide more detailed in- formation of the introduction of French classes in the public and separate schools. Although French would be started in only Grades 7 and 8, it would eventually be back- graded through to Grade 1, Public invited to bridge opening The Hanna Memorial Bridge will be officially opened on Thursday afternoon of this week by the provincial treasurer, the Hon. Charles S. MacNaughton, former minister of highways, and the Hon. George E. Gesnrne, current highways minister in the provincial government, The ribbon cutting is slated fot3.00 p.m. and the general public has been invited to attend. Mayor DeWitt Miller will be the master of ceremonies for the event which will pay a fit- ting tribute to the late John Hanna, Huron-truce's member of the legislature of 19 years. Reeve Joseph Kerr, who has organized the program, said that the town council hopes to have as many people out as pot. sible. The highway will be closed at about 2.30 p.m. with traf. fic touted around the detour which was used during construc- tion of the structure, Reeve Kerr said that if it rains the ceremony will be moved to the council chambers, Wingham's fun-filled cen- tennial celebration, scheduled for Labour Day, will get a head start on Sunday, September 3 Left last week for Germany Lt. R. E. Smith of Wingham left Trenton on Wednesday of last week for ten weeks' train- ing with the 4th Canadian In- fantry Brigade Group in Soest, Germ any, Eighteen members of West- ern Ontario militia units are on • the course. The. group is part of a contingent of 300 Canad- ian militiamen taking part in Exercise Orion Special '67.
