The Wingham Advance-Times, 1958-05-14, Page 2• La Advail4eoliva t Woa oklot a aiiim THANK yoU The . dvance-Timeswould like to excess heartfelt thanks to the dozens of individuals and business f+il,'fi7S,, both. 'in Wi.ugha:mand farther afield, who contributed to the Water Safety Bund ', :hieh ,closed at noon yesterday. The net result is much more important than a mere collec- tion of so many dollars and cent s—it s the practical ev'idelaee of the -fact that public safety is something the majority of people not only want, but arewilling to pay= for. Perhaps you noted last week that a .donation of $15,00 was turned in by the pupils of the J,ower Town School, located only a couple of hmidred yards. away from the scene 41 two drownings inthe past year. Another hard-earned dollar came from, a ten-year-.oldboys, ' When we expressed surprise that he was in- terested enough to part with what to plea was':gnit.,e: probably a. small for- tilue, he said, "Well, T spend a lot of time around the .river myself." arti.cularly would we 1' express.:. thanks to the anonymous donor who sparked this entire project with his 'offer of any amount up to $500.00., That .spiritof instantaneous re- sponse sponse ' to an evident need in: the c.omMun.ity is so rare and refreshing that at gives the rest of us a new and clearer version of what we can do.

PLANS GOING WELL This is not the'firsttime we have, referred to ,the.;. forthcoming Trade Pair in this *column • bu t' we' fel 'h , e t. at the :project, sponsored by the local Kinsmen, is worth :furtller.me:ntion. These 'Kinsmen are an .active bunch. At last report their booth committee had disposed of practical-- ly all the available display space in the arena, and with the fair still three weeks away> it is quite likely that it will alldisappear before the event opens on June 5th, We have also, found that several larger out- side concerns have Piirchased space, an indication that; the potential mar- ket in this area is stili highly con- sidered by bigger bttsiness. Erection of the booth :frames started last Thursday evening and. the property committee has been busy since that time putting g the .. , 'stalls in place.

SOUND ADVICE One of the most impressive re- ligious services we have attended in. some time was the one in St, An- drew's Church last Weclnesday'even- ing when Douglas 0. Pry, a native of this cor.lmlunity, was ordained as a in Mister of the Presbyterian Church. We found it particularly gratifying to see a'friend. and former neiighbnrir attaining the cul alination 'of . six years cols of 'study and entering the high- est calling known to man. That iiiany of our townspeople shared the same feeling was evidenced by the. large attendance at •both the ordin- ation service and the reception which followed. This newspaper extends sincere congratulations and good wishes to the Reverend. Douglas Oliver pry. Naturally it is the duty of the other clergymen taking part 'in an. ordination service to admonish and advise the •ordinand, and two thoughts contained in these address- es struck us as being exceptionally wise and well-founded. Di Ninimo stated that it is a minister's duty to preach the Gospel as it is contained in the. Bible, rather than ranging off onto the theme of modern evils and what should be done about them. The Gospel, he said, contains all the answers ' required -for :any. •Jairbllenl regardless of the age 'in which it is found. The Rev. John Pollock 'advised that the young minister always hear 'in, mind that the people in the pews are human, as eventhe preacher :hi;rn- self and that a good fund of basic common sense, temperedwith a,.l ve= Iy sense of humor is necessary. `Though advise to the clergy is not a field in whichwe specialize, we could not 'fail to. agree with the thoughtful speakers •who were .ad dressing . members of their own calling. a THE YEARS. GO QUICKLY It is very hard 'to realize that' thirteen years have passed since German resistance on the` continent of Europe came ''to an end. How much more y past y have the 13 years flown by than did the preced- ing six years when friends and rela- tives were' tiragg.ing through the wearying strain of World: War ;f. T f 11e end of every conflict has al- ways caused wildhilarity on the home front, and the ).ay cele- brations were no exception; In Hali- fax the populace, civilian' andmili- tary, just abut wrecked the city.

MAY CAMP4IGN 41MED AT VENICL£S Highway accidents and deaths caused by unsafe vehicles will be the target of a national campaign to be sponsored 'throughou't Ca- nada during May by the Canadian Highway Safety Conference. The drive, called "Check Your Car, Check Your Driving, Check. Acci- dents", will have the active sup- port of automobile dealers, service station and garage operators and all usersof the' highway,, including truck and bus companies; It will coincide with' a similar effort in the United States. The Conference, through the Iirovincialand com- munity safety organizations • and industry in ;general, is stressing 10 vital safety checks. They are: brakes, front lights,. rear -lights, steering, tires, e,x- haust " system, glans, windshield. wipers,' •'rear-view mirrors ` and horn.:Defeets in any of those items, warns the Conference's ' •;general manager, W. Arch -Bryce, can re- sult in disaster.' Their importance to the operation of a vehicle is' seldom' appreciated,' according to Mr. Bryce, until they become 'de- fective. Motorists are being urged to envisage the predicament into which they would be thrust should such defects occur in their "vehic- les, and to •take immediate steps to tamed 'leave .from school. Harry Nixon was. named leader of "the Liberal party in Ontario on the first :ballot' at the party's con- vention, The Lower Wingham °Sewing.

Toa'•' onto spent .a feW days' visiting with friends in town, Cpl, George Cart spent the week. end with his parents, Mr. and Mrs, Oeo., Cart, - prevent such predicament 'before it happens. "Every vehicle using Canada's roads and streets is nothing more' than an' inanimate machine,' un- able to cope with an emergency, but always able tp create one. Driv ars Should at all times feel safe and secure "in the knowledge 'that their -vehicles have been, given a thorough safety check and every evidence of impending defect cor- rected", Mr. Bryce said. Police- forces across Canada-- prdvincial and federal -are also working to ` promote . the May campaign. Special attention will be given by traffic enforcement officers to unsafe vehicles in this' national effort to safeguard the lives of the n illians ct Canadians using the highways..
